MILLER, S. D., Dec. 23.-Word has
been brought here by one Of the mail
carriers that a man by the name of
Johnston. living, about rs miles south
of this place, became violently insane
last Friday night. He got out of his
bed and, securing n hatehet attempted
to kill his wife and children. They
managed to get the Ratchet away from
him and escape through Il trap door
into the cellar and hold it down
against the raving maniac above them,
who, seeing his efforts to get to them
were fruitless, started across the prairie
in all almost nude condition. He ran
about four miles to one of his neigh
bors, arriving there with his feet badly
frozen and larcerated. He is now in
the hands of the county officials and
will probably be taken to the asylum.

Henry Jobllnski and Two Chill

One Other Child Seriously
Wounded, and May Not
Recover.
The Murderer Then Closes the
Bloody Affair by Killing
Himself.

ST.. JAMES, Mimi, Dec. 23.-John
Cable, farm hand employed by Henry
Joblinski, near South Branch, in the
southern part Of this county, engaged
in carnival of crime" and, rs re.
suit of it, Joblinski and two of his chill
dren are dead, and Cable finished his
work by adding his own name to the
list of victims. One other child, boy
and the oldest Of the family, was seri-
ously wounded, and it is doubtful if he
will recover.
The dead are Henry .Toblinski,
aged As; Charles Joblinski, aged 20
Annie Joblinski, aged -, and John
Cable. the murderer, aged rs. The
tragedy occurred at the home of Job.
linSki, the report reaching this city
about 7 o'clock q. M. Sheriff Forsythe,
his deputies, the coroner and q number
Of citizens Immediately went to the
scene and found Henry Joblinsl1i, his
daughter Annie and Gable, the muir.
derer, all lying dead in a pool of blood
inside of the house, and Charles, the
son of Henry Joblinski, was found
dead in the yard about 100 feet from
the house.
Story of the Deed.
The story of the cause Of the terrible
deed is reported as follows: About two
years ago Cable entered the employ of
Joblinski and has remained in his
service up to the time of the tragedy.
Cable, living with the family, became
attached to Annie, whose father began
to think they were too intimate and
threatened to beat her. Cable began to
abuse the father, which resulted in hot
language. Cable then drew a revolver
and began firing, instantly killing the
father. He then turned and shot and
seriously wounded one of the boys who
jumped through window and made
his escape. He then shot the other hoy
who ran about 100 feet and fell dead.
Cable then ordered the old lady out.
The murderer turned and shot Annie
through the head, killing her, and to
close the affair shot and killed himself.

Ing robes can be made Of It. It comes in
SO inch width, and costs from 30 to SO
cents per yard, and five to six yards mako
an ample lounging robe, with bishop
sleeves. Another useful garment mado OF
the eiderdown Is tho double vest to wear
under capes or loose coats on cold days.
They are made sleeveless.
There are frivolous things, too-triaes
light as air-but they ore quite as much q
part of lovely woman's attire as those
mentioned above. They are mostly things
to wear around the neck and to give grace
and lightness to any costume Thero Is
no end of vest fronts in lace. The full tie,
which reaches from the throat to tho bust
line, and frequently to the waist line, Ia
made OF light lace. These resemble the
full cravats worn by gentlemen ut the be-
ginning of this century. Whom these are
worn with any dress, full rufile is nj
ways appropriate at the wrists. Ono vest
front was made of all over lace, gathered
very full at tho stock collar and looping
under at the waist line like blouse. One
part passes over the shoulders, like small
cape, and this is lined with thin blue silk.
and the whole is edged with point d'esprit
lace almost to the waist line. Tho stock
is of the thin silk, with a largo bow at the
back of thick grosgrain ribbon in exactly
the same shade of blue. This design Ia
equally handsome developed in black lace
and net, with some other becoming color
in ribbon and lining. The lace double
jabots and cascades are sewed to stocks OF
Lace or other material and left to fall In
vest fashion. So many bodices are made
plain now that these lace flchus, collars,
Jokes and vests fill very palpable want,
and they transform Quakerlike sim
plicity into festive looking garment IN
an instant.
These postiche Jokes and fancifully deco
rated collars and full front pieces are, for
the first time in my recollection, being used
on children's attire. I saw In one place
numbers of wide velvet and silk collars
and separate Jokes bordered with lace.
These were for the exclusive use Of chill
dren. Ono had q whole vest front of ivory
surah made very full. This was sewed to
a high stock of mignonette velvet, and
there was q sailor collar across the back
which became revers in front, and to them
the surah vest was sewed. 1t dropped In
the center, blouse fashion. There was q
ruffle of ivory colored oluny lace oil around
the revers and collar. This was one OF
those useful triflcs that can be slipped on
over a very plain frock and at a moments
notice transform it into dressy affair.
For a young girl Of is or thereabout
there was very handsome arrangement IN
q wide, stiff, round collar of royal blue
