A AREMARKABLE HIS.
TORY.

We recently published a strongly
commendatory notice of "Alden's
Cyclopedia of History" In the
interest of our readers we wish to re-
peat and emphasize what we said.
A good universal history ought to be
in every home; this is certainly ex-
cellent, if not the very best for genel-
al use and reference ever published,
covering all nation Except the
United States, to be published separ-
ately) and from B. c. 1904 to A. D.
1892. Certainly it is the cheapest
historical work we have ever seen; but
that is what readers generally will ex-
pect from Mr.. Alden, who has done
SO much to place the highest class of
literature within popular reach. To
get such vast amount of matter
within such small compass the type
used is necessarily small, but it is
beautifully clear, and the paper,
printing and binding are of the best.
Send 10 cents to Mr.. Alden and he
will send you a sample volumn of
100 pages, containing the history Of
several nations complete, by which
you can judge for yourself whether
you want the entire work. His cat
alogue of choice books, 12S pages,
sent postpaid for cents, presents
wonderful feast for book lovers.

Swiss He'll Ringers.

The only troupe of Swiss Bell Ringers
in the United States will appear at the
courthouse, Tuesday evening, Dec. 9th,
The company has been travelling for
nearly quarter of century and have
delighted audiences in all parts of the
world and have done much toward
elevating the art of music. The Chica-
go lnter.OceaD says: '"The Oaks Com.
pany of Comedians and Swiss Bell
Ringers made their appearance at the
Windsor last night for the fourth time
in Chicago and from the size of the
audience that greeted them they have
lost none of their former popularity
Their specialties are clever in the ex.
treme. Their songs are all good and
the way they sing them denotes vocal
powers of more than ordinary ability.
The musical part of tho programme at
times was listened to with breathless
interest. Alice Oakes is certainly the
representative Herfest of America and
the intrument she introduced last night
was beyond doubt the finest harp ever
seen on any stage in Chicago. The
Windsor management congratulate
themselves in announcing that the

Some Of our contemporaries are
hiating that the railroad companies
Nsed their influence towards the
election of Mr.. Shortridge for gov

will need watching closely. Any in
-lnuation Of this character is unjust.
10 tell the plain unvarnished truth,
the people had become tired Of ring
rule and decided to elect man who
would best serve their interests. By
electing Mr.. Shortridge we believe
that the people have elected gentle

best and right for the welfare of our

The HORRIBLE DETAILS.

The above head does not half des-
cribe the horrible affair that occur
red fourteen miles southeast of
Cooperstown last Wednesday morn
ing. William kerber, farmer
living alone with his hired man, John
Zobak got INTO deadly fight with
a hatchet in which Zobak loses his
life and Kerber is badly hacked up.
morning. Kerber claims
that his hired man attempted to rob
him and deliberately struck him in
the face with an hatchet while he
was lying in bed with the intention
of killing him. The two men en-
gage in a hand to hand, life and
death struggle so kerber claims and
the hired man is choked and forced
on his back, the hatchet taken from
him and he is then and there dis
patched by Kerber, the hatchet
being driven into his head and
brains several times. Kerber says
he did it in self defense and that if he
had not killed Zobak, Zobak would
have killed him. A man is certainly
justified in defending. his own life,
but whether Kerber was justified in
killing Zobak when he had him at
his mercy and could have choked or
pounded him into insensibility with
out using the hatchet in the above
described manner and got out of his
way, is another thing, and the
Coroner's jury have very grave
case to solve with only Kerber's
side Of the story to 60 on. The
room in which the tragedy was COM
mitted is a small one. The bed
clothes are torn and smeared with
blood, the walls and floor likewise,
the stove is knocked down and
where the dead man lay great pools
of congealed blood and gore lie in
different places on the floor. The
scene is too horrible to contemplate
and shows that a vicious battle for
life had been fought, The low-ceil-
ing contains the marks of the hatch
ct where the. men had missed the
stroke. 1t is by long odds the
ghastliest and bloodiest affair tina:
has ever occurred in this state and
one of the great number OF cases
which will never be fully explained.
The COURIER editor went to see
Mr.. Kerber at the Palace hotel for
the purpose of getting his story.
