MURDER AND SUICIDE !
A Man Shoots Young Girl and Then
Shoots HIMSELF

] We learn from John johnson, who
is in the employ of Samuel Larson OF
this village, the particulars of a shoot
ing affray, which occurred in the
township of Ben Wade, Pope county,
about 20 miles from here, Monday
morning.
Mr.. johnson was visiting his pa
rents, who reside near the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Simonson, where the shoot
ing took place, the particulars of which
are as follows:
Monday morning, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Simonson were at their breakfast
table, Chris. Abrahamson young man
about 80 years of age, wagon maker,
who resided near by, entered the house
and was asked to sit down and have
a cup of coffee. He said, "No, have
come to preach you a sermon, and you
might as well call in Annie and let her
hear it too" Annie, the daughter, a
Girl of about seventeen was called IN,
and being frightened by some remark
of Abrahamson, left to go up stairs.
While in the stairway Abrahamson
drew a revolver and shot at her but
she escaped to the chamber above.
Her father, man of about seventy,
caught hold of Abrahamson, but could
not hold him and he went up stairs.
The mother screamed to her daughter
to escape from the house, and she
Jumped from the chamber window.
There was window in the lower story,
through which Abrahamson saw the
frightened girl when she jumped out,
and he Immediately ran out of the
house, caught the girl and shot her
through the neck. She died shortly
afterwards.
The father started to give the alarm
to the neighbors and was shot at by
Abrahamson, but the ball missed
him.
Mr.. Simonson went to the house
of Mr.. Johoson, and his son John and
another young man mounted horses
and rode to the scene of the murder
and soon came upon the body OF Abra-
hanson, who, after numbering the
young girl, shot himself. The mother
of the girl had succeeded in getting
her to the house, just as she breathed
her last.
Abrahamson had for some time
been making professions of love to
Miss Simonson, which she resented,
having natural dislike for him, and
it is probably owing to this fact that
caused him to take her life.
For some time prior to the murder
Abrahamson is said to have been drink
ing pretty freely. About week ago
he was in Starbuck, and meeting a
young man of his acquaintance on the
street drew a couple of revolyers on
him, saying: Il am going hunting.
This thing has gone on long enough
and now I am going to do something"
This was passed over as joke by
the friend OF, Abrahamson, and but
little was said about it. But it is
quite evident that Abrahamson was
meditating on the murder of Miss
Simonson at the time.
Messrs. Samuel Larson, Anton An
derson, John johnson and others of
our city have known all the parties
mentioned above for some time. Mr..
Simonson formely lived in Wisconsin
in the neighborhood of Mr.. Anderson.

France and Germany.

E. Lyman Hood Of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, who has been travelling
extensively of late in Europe, writes as
follows to the Northwestern Congre-
gationalist of Minneapolis in relation
to France and Germany:
"It is twenty years since the war
humiliated France, but her wrath has
not cooled. Poor Strassburg.' the
Parisians say, we have lost her, but
we will have her back In their most
noted square in Paris there is mon
ument to Strassburg, which they keep
draped with mourning emblems. It
is an open secret that France has
been storing up her strength and only
waits favorable opportunity to atr
tack Germany, in order; to retain her
lost territory and restore her former
prestige. Although France has an
area one fourth less than Germany,
and a population only seven-tenths
as great, In every branch 81 military
service, except infantry, the armies of
the Republic are larger than those Of
the Empire.
"Aisaceg Lorraine is still a bone of
contention The Gs1alans are deter
mined to retain these provinces even
at fabulous cost. France will never
be at ease until she has won them
back.
Before his retirement from the
Reichstag, Prince Bismarck, in de-
bate, pleading for a larger standing
army, exclaimed: No generation has
lived in Germany which has not been
obliged to draw the sword against
France Alsace-Lorraine seems to be
a chip on the shoulder of Germany;
let us hope that the French will not
to advance to knock it off,"
The TRIBUNE would suggest that
France would not be France unless
she makes the attempt, when she gets
] good ready, to knock that chip off |
If the shoulder of Germany, and it
would not surprise us if she succeeded
n knocking it off effectually.

If we understand the free coinage
bill correctly it means that every man
who owns silver, pure enough to make
into coin of not less than the actual
weight of 100 silver dollars may take
it to the mint of the United States and
have full weight of it in silver coin
with out any charge for coming. The
actual expense of coming is about two
cents an ounce of silver. IL one took
gold to the mint he would be charged
for coinage. If he does not want coin
he can have treasury certificates.

has no machinery for the purpose, but
simply boils them. Here is an open

Eva Mcdonald, the state lecturer of
the alliance, complains that when the
farmers come to discuss with the
Knights of Labor they always want
to talk about money matters. She says
she prefers the single tax and eight
hour question. These don't strike a
farmer in the same way they do the
Knights of Labor.-Fergus Falls
journal.
No, we should say not. AS rule
the farmers are in favor of the "eight
hour question That is, they want
their "hired help" to work eight hours
in the forenoon and eight hours in the
afternoon.

Mr.. Howard L. Smith of st. Paul
has written letter in the New York
Nation, as we see by the Pioneer Press,
on the free coinage of silver. In this let
ter Mr.. Smith takes the ground that
the effect of free coinage will ineyita-
bly, send gold to premium, and that
those farmers who have contracted to
pay mortgages in gold will have to
purchase it at the ruling price and
thereby be forced to pay back more
money than they received. This is
stating the case briefly, without going
into the details as fully as does Mr..
Smith. It is a fact says the Pioneer
Press, that laIge number of the great
loaning companies have, for some
time past, drawn all their mortgages
payable in gold. The opening of gold
accounts by the banks, and the intro
duction in contracts of clause stipula-
ting for payment in gold have been
quite general since first the silver in
flationists succeeded in having legisla-
ton in their favor. As rule, few far
mers whose properties are encountered
ever read this provision In their mort
cages, if it exists, or paid any atten-l
tion to it if they read it. But it is there
in multitude of cases. 1t is the opin
ion of Mr. Smith that rs per cent of
the mortgage Indebtedness of this
country is made payable expressly !
both principal and interest, In gold
only. And it is fact that all loans
now accepted are made with this con-
diton; and that every remittance of
capital from the East for investment in
the West, at the present time, comes
with the positive instructions to take
no mortgage which is not to be satis-
fed in gold. Thus much our silver
has already accomplished. !
