The republican campaign for 1896
has begun. The state central COM
mittee which met in Milwaukee last
week chose w. A. Jones of Oconomo-
woe temporary chairman and fixed
March 18th as the date for the meet
ing of the state convention to choose
four delegates at large for the St.
Louis national convention. The off
cial calls for this and for the various
congressional district conventions
have not been issued but will be soon.
Each congressional district is en-
titled to two delegates in the national
convention and as Vernon and Sank
counties were the favored ones four
years ago Grant county May reas-
onably expect representative this
year.

some time. Hougaard disclosed his muir
derous resolve in a letter, but with the
cunning of a maniac he took good precau-
ton TO render the warming void by en-.
trusting it to the United States mail for
delivery. This letter, written in Danish
70 countryman of the murderer, was re-
celVed Monday morning, and the horri-
fled friend heard of Hougaards determin-
alton to kill his family and end his life.
Mortified FrienS Notifies the Police
With promptness born of the feaI that
the Danish milkman really intended to
execute his threat the friend sent the let
ter to the police at the Chicago Avenue
station. Captain Larson made a transla-
ton of the communication and instantly

save the lives Of the little innocents, the
watuhful mother and the insane father.
Captain Gibbons headed detail that hur-
ried to the Hougaard residence Instinct

arrived too late. There was an awful air
OF desolation about the house, with its
drawn curtains and impressive silence
that betokened something wrong Re

response. Shouting did not awaken the
victims and the cruel murderer within

claimed the captain, and the next moment |
the big policemen had forced the door
from its hinges. Instantly the officers /
were met with wave of air laden with I
illuminating gas. The fumes were so
powerful that the police were momentarily |
overcome by them. But, pushing on un. !
der the orders of the captain, the officers |
searched the first floor for the bodies they |
knew must be in the house.
Every gasjet they encountered was open I
and pouring out many cubic feet of dead +
ly gas. These jets were hastily closed /
and the searchers continued their progress
upstairs, where seven corpses were dis
covered. The children and mother had
died without knowledge of the murderous
intentions Of the father Hougaard had
evidently waited until all had fallen
asleep Sunday night and then opened the
