DOMESTIC TROUBLES GIVEN AS
THE CAUSE.
THE UNFoRTUNATES WERE BOTH
Ex-RESIDERTS OF YALE.
Brief Particulars of the Distressing
Affair.

The people of our village were
startled Tuesday morning by reports
that Samuel j. Welch, well-to-do and
respected farmer living three miles
west of Tnionville, had shot his wife
and himself
Those who were first at the scene of
the tragedy found lying on the floor
of the kitchen Mrs. Welch with her
head nearly all blown from her body,
and Mr.. Welch lying few feet from
her with his face partly gone and a
bullet in his brain. The facts, as near
ly as could be ascertained from neigh
bOrs and his brother, who was living
with them, are as follows:
In the morning the family arose and
had breakfast as usual and the brother
went to the barn to do the chores. He
had been gone but "a few moments
when he heard the discharge of a gun,
and feeling that something was wrong
started for the house when he discov-
cred Mr.. Welch near the well with q
shotgun in his hand. lie at once
started to go TO him when he heard the
gun again discharged and saw his
brother fall upon his knees; he i'm
mediately grappled him and took the
gun from him and started for the
house. There he found Mrs. Welch
dead upOn the floor with her brains
scattered all over the door and room,
and her little five-year-old boy, Joe,
standing by her crying. lie took the
child and gun and started for "A neigh
bor's for assistance. While gone, Mr..
Welch.went back into the house, Sc
cured "A revolver and shot himself
through the head.
The affair is a peculiarly distressing
one not only from its tragic nature but
from the fact that both of the un-
fOrtunates were nearly related to some
of our best and most respected citizens
who feel deeply the dreadful occur
rance.
). o. Welch, the aged father of S. j.
Welch, with his son James left for the
scene of.the tragedy Wednesday morn
ing. The remains will be brought to
Y ale for interment.
Samuel j. Welch was So years old
and his wife was 40. They were mar
ried here about nine years ago and
moved to j Unionville two years ago.
The couple have both been happily
married before, but for some reason
this union was blessed with but little
domestic felicity. They quarrelled
great deal, and the terrible deed COM
mitted on Wednesday was the climax
of three days set-to.

An Expression of Gratitude.

The press af anguish attending the
sudden death of our darling Leota,
and the deep anxiety concerning pres
cent circumstances, must be our excuse
for heretofore neglecting to more ex-
plicitly thank our faithful friends for
care, kindness and attention shown us
during our deep trouble.
We are daily reminded that we are
under many obligations to every friend
and acquaintance in our village and
Throughout the c0unty for sympathy
for us and concern for our welfare.
We are indeed grateful alike to the
different societies and friends who
have aided us.
The bright, winsom light of our
home gone, and our home-life made
lonely and desolate with scarcely u
moments warning, except for your
deep interest, sympathy, aid and COM
fort, kind friends, life must have been
unbearable. That the Eternal Ruler
of the destinies of the human race
may spare you all from so cruel Wis.,
itation, is the heartfelt wish of your
friends. Nellie Tappan.

A GOOD PLAN.
S. Il. Bettes' Scheme to Pro-
vide Homes for the Poor.
Oyer Crowded Cities and Villages
Of the East TO be Released of
Their Surplus Population.

"The Jackson Lake Colonization
Plan" is the name of new enterprise,
conceived amp originated by Rev. s. q.
Bettes, of this place. The plan is to
furnish poor people from the over
crowded cities and towns with home
and II chance to make livelihood.
Jackson Lake is in the western part of
the new state of Wyoming, and has an
island on its broad bosom containing
about 80, 900 acres. This land will at
once be set aside for colonization pur-
poses by the state, and bona tide set
tiers can get homestead at n nominal
cost. The Rev. Bettes will try and
provide for the free transportation of
all those who are worthy, but without
means to take them 20 this land of
promise. The scheme is not of mon-
ey making character, but of a purely
benevolent nature, to help the poor
better their condition. Mr.. Bettes, who
has devoted the last twenty-nine years
to evangelism and lecturing, will now
turn his talents and energies entirely
into this new work, until he makes it IL
complete success.

The True Remedy.

other Remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
