A Golden Anniversary.

ST. Louis, Sept. 1.-St. Louis Lodge
No. 5, I. o. o. F.. has celebrated its
golden anniversary by a grand enter
tainment at Entertainment Fall. This
lodge was organized on Aug. 81. 1871,
by Grand Master Cathcart, and was the
fourth lodge of the order in the city.
At present there are none of the charter
members living. Gerard B. Allen,
whose death occurred a few years ago,
was the last surviving charter member.
Since the formation of the lodge it has
admitted to membership over 1000
persons. It has expended wei $50, 900
more money than it's receipts, most of
which excess was derived from interest
on moneys loaned out. The lodge is
one of the wealthiest 1. o. o. F. lodges
in the United States. It owns one.third
of the stock in the Odd Fellows build
ing, which is valued at $1,000, 600.
Aside from this it has about $3.50, 600 in
securities bearing interest. At the en-
tertainment the large hall was filed to
overlooking, and many persons we're
turned away, being unable to ecure
seats. The audience was composed
largely of the fashionable people of the

The life of the farmers wife
is a dreary one as a rule, and
even in North Dakota, with the
agricultural wealth existing
here, which makes it the farm
er's paradise, the following pen
picture, drawn by John Ell.
Bookwalter, in The September
Forum, is too true:
Every day of her life she goes through
the dreary, monotonous round. At an
early hour every morning through the
hot summer. she prepares the same
black coffee and tried pork (perhnps hot
biscuits), and before she a clear away
the breakfast things and make the bed
she hears the calves bleating, the milk
COW stamping. both impatient to have
the mornings business done with.
Then comes the dreary routine OF the
forenoon's work, the baking of bread.
the washing, and the like until the
meridian sun warns her that the ever
lasting midday meal is due and must be
ready ut once. To round up the duties
and responsibilities of the DAY her 10.
bors are carried far into the night, and
often. very often, they continue long
after those of the male portion of the
family have ended. She has long since
ceased to think about her personal ap-
pearance. A tender kiss from her hus'
band would almost surprise her. Once
she grieved that her little girls were SO
barely clad; now she scarcely thinks OF
it. That she should have o spare hour
every day to read never enters her head,
and the bare suggestion that on every
Sunday she should ''dress up and de.
vote herself. during the rest of the day,
to social intercourse would cause q stare
of incredulity. For be it understood
that Sunday for the farmers wife is q
sort of clearance day to adjust the odds
and ends of the previous weeks cares
and labors, to be in readiness for the le'
newed labors of the coming week.

Horrible Murder by Tramp..

MONROE, Micb., Aug. 31.-Saturday
afternoon at a farm house near here
John Wilkinson and wife we're brutally
tortured and murdered by two tramps.
The tramps went to the farm house beg.
ging for something to eat. and finding
Wilkinson and his wife alone, with the
exception of a 10-year-old boy, under.
took to torture them and make them re-
veal the hiding place of their supposed
wealth. They knocked them down, cut
great gashes in their faces with knives,
an kicked and otherwise abused them.
The terrified boy in the meantime
escaped and gave the alarm. Aposse Of
neighbors started to the rescue, but
when they reached the house the couple
were dead, having bled to death froza
the terrible wounds inflicted by the
tramps. The trsmps we're discovered
near Maybee Station and both were shot
down by the infuriated citizens. Their
bodies were completely riddled with
bullets. The murderers were strangers
in the county. The old couple were
well-to.do and highly respected citizens.
ANOTHER MORE HORRIBLE.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Aug. I31.--A murder,
more iendish than any in the annals of
crime in this country, was committed in
Bloomfield at an early hour yesterday
morning. At thattime Henry Frederick
Hushenhagen, aged SO years, and wife,
Emily, aged n, were killed by a tramp
to whom they had given shelter. Not
content with simply killing them, he
f1ightfully mutilated their bodies and
then threw the bleeding bodies into an
old we'll. When the fri ghtful crime was
made known the excitement in Bloom
field was intense. Men, worked into a
passion of wrath, hunted through the
adjacent woods intent on experimenting
the assassin, but without avail. The
bodies were discovered this morning.
Neighbors who came for the purpose of
investigating found signs of q struggle
in the barn, and noticed the
curb of the we'll, ten feet away,
was not in place. Peering down, the
bodies were seen floating on the Shiny,
blood. stained water. When they were
removed and an examination made it
found that Hushenhagen's body had
four large wounds on the head, proba.
bly, made with the coupling pin which
was found in the yard. One of the
wounds was three inches long and the
skull was crushed to q depth of four
inches. On Mrs. Hushenhagen's body
we're five wounds, every one of which
crushed the skull. These are believed
to have been made with an az. Robbery
was not the motive for the murder. No
article was missed from the house, and
it was evident the murderer's first
thought after phcing the bodies in the
we'll was to get away from the scene
