SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 7.-Ethel Leroy,
a dissolute woman, was murdered in a
shocking manner this afternoon, on OFar-
rell street After a desperate struggle with
Frank Larrabee whose mistress she had
been. he overpowered her and. with a razor
cut her throat In the terrible struggle the
woman's cheeks, neck and breast were
frightfully slashed. Pushing the dying wo-
man from him, Larrabee then drew the
razor across his throat in attempt to
end his own life. The woman will bleed to
death, but Larrabee will live. The muir
der resulted from the woman's threat to
leave him. Larrabee is an electrician, who
came here from Chicago at the beginning
of the midwinter fair.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug. Never In
the history of the Democratic party in this
district did such apathy and Indifference
exist as now. The rank and file of that
party takes no interest in politics, and all
the driving of the leaders fails to arouse
any action. They have for weeks been us
ing great efforts to get crowd to attend
the meet at Rome City Democratic day,
Aug. s, and finally had TO call off the meet
ing, much to the disgust of the managers
Of the Rome City assembly, who expected
a large attendance on that day. They had
advertised Senators VOORHEES, and Brice,
and the former replied that, providence
permitting he would be hand loaded
with big speech, but in his case "Provi-
dence' does not seem to permit, and he
won't be there; neither will Brice.
Thomas Taggart then took a hand and
endeavored to get Governor Matthews, but
he had a previous engagement. Then
Bourke Cochran was importuned, but he
cannot leave Congress. AS last resort,
Senator Voorhees, and Congressman Nc
Nagny appealed to the Hon. Franklin Mac
Veagh, Democratic candidate for State Sem
ator in Illinois, but he will not abandon his
New Hampshire vacation, so nothing was
left but to abandon the idea of Democratic
day at Rome City.
Not the slightest attention was paid to
the primaries last Saturday, held for the Sc
lection of State and congressional delegates,
and but one slate was put up. In the
Third ward, one of the heaviest Democratic
wards in the city, only four votes were
polled, not half as many as there are can
didateS. Not even the candidates took
enough interest to vote for themselves or
each other.
All in ALL the Democrats realize that
their case in this county and district is al
most hopeless this fall owing to the wide
spread indifference among their own voters.
If the boys expect Henry Berghoff to char
ter a special train for them to take them
to and from the State convention as he
did last time they likely % be disap-
pointed. They will have to travel this trip
by regular train, pay their own fares or
stay at home.

the perfection of it's equipment, the

also the route to the famous gold fields

AT LAKE Er1ILY.
To THE EDITOR:

To THE EDITOR:
A picnic, under the auspices of the
Children's Sunday School Society, ST.
Johns Parish, was given at Lake
Emily. Nearly 100 children shared in
the pleasant drive and in the good
cheer which awaited them at the
lake. The day was ideal, just warm
enough to make ice cream and
lemonade delicious. Boating, racing
and driving were the order of delights.
Unlike most picnics, there were no ac-
cidents, result due to the watchful
care of the pastor, Rev. j. Prior, whose
genial, kindly manner made all the
children happy. The picnic party re-
turned by way of ST. Peter, visited
the asylum grounds and other points
of interest. Thanks are due to Mr..
Wiltgen, .liveryman, for'the admirable
way in which the party was conveyed;
also to Mr.. French, hotel proprietor
at the lake.
Among the guests were Father
O'COnnor, of Madelia, and VIM.

Fred KrOn to Erect a Fine
Three Story Bust
ness Block on
Front Street.

Mr.. Fred KrOn some time ago pur-
chased the property at the corner OF
Front and Main streets, diagonally
across the street from The Saulpaugh.
This property contains frame build
ing, now used as saloon. 1t is
splendidly located for business and
Mr.. Kron had this in mind
when he made the purchase. The
large trade coming across the Mime
sofa river bridge and down Agency
hill converges at this point.
Mr. Kron has decided what use to
make of the property, and will erect
a large business block which he will
himself occupy as a department.
store. The building is to have from
tage of fifty feet and is to be hun
dred feet deep, and will be three
stories and basement high. 1t will
be of brick, and stone trimmed,
and will be credit to the city and to
the enterprising builder. Mr.. Kron
will soon go to Chicago to look over
the large department stores there, in
order to gain a thorough knowledge
Of their arrangement, etc. AS the
season will be SO far advanced, the
work on the building will not be COM
menced until next spring, but it will
then be pushed rapidly.
We are pleased to say that
Mr.. Kron will conduct the
store personally. Mankato now
has no department stores, and this one
will fill need long felt, and will no
doubt enjoy large and remunerative
trade from the start. The location
for such a store is a good one, and Mr.
KrOn may be depended upon to put up
a fine structure

out Blue Earth county that l trust
they will not permit any statements

effect that 'Mrs. Stevens has no

them. Such statements are made in

main loyal to my interests until the
votes are counted next November.

A GENEROUS GIFT.

Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, of this city,
widow of the late Hugh II. Jones, has
given to the Presbyterian church
society of this city valuable piece of
property, lying near the city, which
is valued from $4,000 to $4,000. Com
ing as it does at this time when the
society is building it's new church, it
is most greatly appreciated and all
the more so as the severe business
depression has made the struggle for
the new edifice much harder than it
otherwise would have been. And the
generosity of the doner can be all the
better measured when it is stated
that she had already made a large
subscription to the new building,
which had been paid. Such sponstan-
eous outpouring of the heart for a
cause which is of inestimable bene-
fit to all within the reach of it's infiu-
ence, is most cOmmendable at all
times and most especially so when
every effort is being put forth, to Sc
cure house of worship which will at
once be suitable to it's demands and
credit to the city, and Mrs. Jones is to
be congratulated for her move.
