WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN SLAIN

Farmer Noenm acher Says He Feared Star
walton, and Therefore Butchered His
Family with an AK, Afterward Making
an Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide.
AMIGO, Wis, Aug 1.-william Noen-
macher, farmer living nine miles south
east of Amigo, murdered his wife and
three children Saturday night, and then
made an unsuccessful attempt to take his
own life. The news reached here yester-
day. At the inquest Noenmacher made
fun confession. He said the crops were
poor and he was afraid of starving; that
his wife's parents were In Quebec, where
they had come all the way from Germany,
and wanted money, and he had none to
send. He had intended to kill his family
Friday night, but he changed his plan TO
Saturday night. After the family was
asleep he went out and got an ak and re-
turned to do the deed. He said he killed
his wife first by three swinging blows on
the left temple He then went into the
next room and killed Joseph, 8 years old,
and Willie, years old. He struck both
boys on the head twice.
Returning to the room where his wife
lay, he picked up his year old baby, held
her with one arm and struck her on the
top of the head. He then went to tho
efih, up u tno TOOl ana jumped
twenty feet to the floor of the pig sty, sus-
tanning injuries to the spine and paralyz-
ing his lower extremites. Sunday after
noon two of Fred Noenmacher's little chill
dren went over and saw the bodies on the
bed all bloody and ran home and told their
father, who summoned the coroner, and
with him he searched for his brother.
A visit to the scene of the murders dis
closed horrible sight The mother lay
on her left side with gaping wound in
the temple. The baby was in the cradle
beside the bed in sleeping posture The
boys were in bed in the next room in a
pool of blood. The father, as he lay on the
floor of the kitchen, paralyzed, but con-
scious, without the least sign of sorrow or
regret, talked as calmly about the mur-
ders as he would about killing pig.

GIVE YOUR REASONS.

The Columbus Morning Press of
the Goth ult. says: ain two weeks
more the repeal of the Sherman
silver law will have been accomp-
lished and tho financial furry
knocked into q cooked hat" We
are glad that the purchasing clause
of the obnoxious act is to be re-
pealed, because it is not the pro-
vince of the general government
to purchase silver or any other
article of merchandise, but just
how the repeal is going to favor
ably affect the present financial
situation does not force itself on
the ordinary mind.
If it is answered that it will re-
store confidence, we want to know
in whom or in what the confidence
will be reinforced.
1t seems to us that there has
never been any lack of confidence
in the stability and ability of the
government, there has been no
claim of that kind, and the steady
price of government securities
would effectually controvert any
such claim, if made.
Again If our financial furry" is
caused by the forced circulation OF
deprecated silver coins; this being
the loudest and most oft repeated
charge, then the repeal of the pur-
chase clause is worthless as a
remedy because the repeal does
not retire or in anyway interfere
with the free circulation or legal
tender quality of single silver
coin.
We very much fear that our con.
gressmen have failed in a truthful
diagnosis of the ills of the body
polite and have, in the language
of Rev. T. Dewitt Tallmadge, mere.
ly administered bread pill and
are waiting for the patient to re.
cover by means of it's mate sound
strength, when, like the quack
physician, they will be promptly
on hand to claim the glory of the
cure.
We want light and if our brother
of the Press believes what ne says
we humbly ask for the reasons on
which his faith is founded.
