AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Two Children Killed in a Nebraska Town by an Insane Mother-Thefr Skulls Crushed With an Az.

Town by an Insane Mother-Thefr
 Skulls Crushed With an AK.
 HERMAN, Neb., April 9.-A terrible tragedy occurred here to-day. Mrs. An drew Doll killed her two children and then took poison, dying shortly after commit ting the deed. Mrs. Doll had but recently returned from the state insane asylum, where she had been confined. She was pronounced cured by the officials of the institution. Before the children, a girl and boy, aged respectively seven and nine yeers, were dressed, she took them to the kitchen, and with an ax crushed their skulls. She then re- placed the bodies in the bed, nailed the doors shut and after taking dose of con- centrated lye, climbed out of window and called for the neighbors to come and see her children. The door was forced open, and the sight was sickening. On the bed lay the mangled forms of the two little ones, while in the kitchen was the insane mother in the agonies of death.

and still the Democrats howl.
The surplus was reduced before the
Mckinley bill had become Law. In
point OF fact all the provisions Of tie
Mckinley bill are no, yet in operation
When that devilish device for taxing
the producer and the laborer is in full
operation it may decrease the revenue
OF the government, hut il will increase
the tax upon the people for the benefit
OF the monopolisfs. The Democrats
are bowling because the high tax party
stole the government surplus without
waiting for the passage Of law that
could be urged as favoring reduction.
That is why the Democrats "howl." e"
and the farmers all over the country
howl" because their taxes are in.
creased for the benefit of favored
class. They have organized TO reduce

Birds Which Have Disappeared
The Quarterly Review.

The Quarterly Review.
A very interesting bird, once an in
habitant OF Britain, but now every
where utterly extinct, is known as the
great aux. 1t was about the size of a
goose, but, having very small wings,
was quite unable to fly. Being a
powerful bird, with strong bill, and q
most accomplished diver, it would have
continued to live on in full security
but for mans reckless destruction.
Unable to rise in the air like other
water fowl and deposit its eggs in Sc
curity on high ledges of rock, it could
only shuttle along some gentle slope to
lay its eggs at safe distance above
high-water mark. 1t was formerly
very abundant, and hundreds at time
were taken off the coast OF Newfound-
land in the first quarter of the seven
teenth century. In 1913 it was still
abundant ON the rocky islands off the
coast OF Iceland and in 1874 a couple
we're caught on an island called Eldey.
Since then it has disappeared alto
gether. The last specimen taken on
our islands was caughtin a landing net
in Waterford Harbor, in 1884, and is
now preserved in Trinity College.
About seventy-six skins and nine skel-
etons, with sixty-eight eggs and few
bones preserved in collections, are all
the relics we have OF the now extinct
species.
The Labrador duck is another bird
which has disappeared, though it lived
on till 1852. A very curious handsome
startling has become extinct in Mauri-
titus, though, fortunately, a well-pre-
served skin of it was acquired by Mr..
X. Bowdler Sharpe, and carried by him
to the British Museum, where it is
most carefully preserved.
The name of this island naturally
brings to our recollection the dodo, so
generally known by name as bird
which has become extinct in modern
times, that is, by the end of the seven.
