DIFFERENTIATED HIS FAMILY.
A Carpenter Winds Up sextupIe MUIR
der with suicide.

Chicago, Feb. SAN entire family. con-
sisting OF seven persons, was found dead
this morning, the result of the numerous
work and suicide last night of Richard
Kloettke, a carpenter, residing at 2F Ber-
teau avenue. The dead are: Richard
KlOettke. aged IS; Kate KlOettke. his wife;
John kloettke, his father. aged q; Nina
klOettke. his mother. aged, n: Nina klo-
ettke. a daughter. aged 3; Anna klOettke,
daughter, aged S. Emma kloettke,
daughter. aged !.
this morning, by a neighbor, who called
at the KiOettke residence TO get some work
done. The victims were all killed by snots
from a revolver, which was found by klo-
ettkes side. KlOettke had been out OF
work for some time. had no money and no
prospect of securing work.
A pathetic feature OF the tragedy is
that two neighbOrs called at the Kloetske
cottage this morning each with the glad
news Of employment for him.
Each of Kloettke's victims was shot
through the head and death must have
been instantaneous in each case. Ihere
was an OdOr of chlOrOfOrm in the house,
and 1t is surmised that the murderer mad
rendered his victims unconscious before
firing the fatal shots.
The appearance Of Mrs kloettke alone
of all the victims, presented any indica-
ton of a struggle Her hands were
scratched and her clothing torn
Little Emma and her mother were found
in the rear room, while in the front room
the aged grandparents lay in one bed
and the remaining two children in an
other. Kloettke's body lay on the floor.
Beside him on a chair. were a wheat
stone and two sharpened knives. He had
empted his revolver and reloaded it.
Kloettke spent a considerable part OF
yesterday in a nearby saloon, where he
drank beer occasionally. He was not in
toXicated, but appeared moody, being at
times jocular and at others quarrelsome
or respondent. He was noticed to press
his hand to his head occasionally. At s
O'Clock IN the evening he called at the

had some work for him, and Kloettke
went home apparently happy. His wife
told a neighbor that he had been talking
and acting strangely lately, leaving his
sentences unfinished and wandering to 9TH
er subjects.
He was staunch member of Carpenters
Union, No. l, and would not work more
than eight hours a day. When under the
influence of liquor he would talk anarchy.
A neighbor to-day pointing. to picture
of the red flag on the wall in Kloettke' s
house. said: That's what did it"

played on him by several clever bears, and
although he finally got the 'jokers." yet
the old man can't forget how nicely he
was beaten before ne got onto how the
game was being played 'sHank'' always
did say that the general run of black
bears know more than a great many
men. and he is now more thoroughly con-
WINGED than ever of the truthfulness of
his argument. 1t appears that he and an
other old hunter spent the greater part
of November and December back in the
hemiock woods On a bear and deer expedi-
ton, and it was on this. trip that they
ran across the educated bruins that
''Hank'' tells about.

ROBBED IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Washington Society WOmnn is De-
prived of Valuable Jewels.


From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Washington. Jan. 27.-One Of the society
women of Washington. whose name is
carefully withheld by the police, has re-
ported that she was robbed of 81, 500 worth
of diamonds at a recent white house re-
ception. The jewels were in a pendant
suspended from her neck. The thieves
were women. The lady was standing in
the corridor during the rush, wedged in
among the callers, when two well-dressed
women. one in front and the other be-
hind her, recognized each other and APP
preached. They met just where the lady
was standing, and in the most ELUSIVE
manner reached over her shoulder and
shook hands vigorously. 1t was all over
in a moment and the two women went
away, but, alas, as soon as they disap-
peared the victim noticed that her PEN
dant was missing. She notified the detec-
tive at the door, and he gave the descrip-
ton to other officers. They informed him
that two women answering the descrip-
ton had Just left the hall. Out OF doors
the police ran, but In the maze of shout
ing hackmen, frantic policemen and the
crowds of the curious who lined the walks
it was an absolute impossibility to find
the thieves. So the lady still mourns the
loss Of her pendant and the women con-
tinue to wear their diamonds in the lam
at the white house.

A SOLID BANK.
The Cause of the Run Upon 1t to BE
Inquired Into.

Orlando, Fla, Feb. 4.-The run upon the
State Bank is over and excitement has all
subsidized. If the matter was an attempt
on the part Of designing men to embarrass
the bank it was a failure. The only result
was to draw friends to the bank, who are
ready and willing to come up with sub
stantial support, If it is needed. This will
not be necessary, however, as the bank
has demonstrated it's solidity and it's abil-
ity to weather the storm. Those who drew
out their balances yesterday are re-depos-
iting the money to-day, and all seem to
feel a greater confidence in the bank than
before. The cause of this panic will be
inquired into, and all OF the facts will be
brought to light sooner or later.
