sane, killed five persons and then COM
mitted suicide. His victims were Mrs.
Herman Haschke and her two children,
Aggie and Herman, aged ten and eight
years respectively, Sheriff w. d. Null
and Constable William Sween. The
Rockville dispatch says:
About seven o'clock young Egbert
was sent into the back yard to saw some
wood for family use. Shortly after

milking her COW, Egbert secured

which was next door to his home, shot
the little daughter, a child of ten years.
dead, and wounded the boy, two years
younger, who ran out on the porch.
where Egbert shot him again, killing
him instantly. The murderer then
went out into the alley and leveled his
gun at Mrs. Haschke, who, seeing his in
tention, attempted to escape. He shot
her, however, the charge taking effect
in the top of her head, removing part OF
her skull. Mrs. Haschke fingered in an
unconscious state for about two hours,
when death ended her sufferings.
Having completed this work OF
brtchery, Egbert shouldered his gun
and deliberately walked up into tue
business part of the town. Sheriff Null
and Constable Sweem were planning
a means of capturing the murderer.
Egbert was walking across the north
side of the square, holding his gun
in position, with both barrels
cooked, when he saw Null and Sweem
crossing the street towards him. lie
called out to them that they had bet

coming upon them suddenly, shot and
Instantly killed both men.

him, and though he managed to scale
the Enclosure of the fair grounds he

shot himself in the right breast. The
fire from his gun ignited his clothing
which was partially burned when he

From the Standard linton, Brooklyn, " r.
q Few women have had q more miserable
existence and lived to tell the tale than Mrs.
Anna L. Smith of 81 Pulaski Avenue,
Brooklyn. With all the comforts that money
affords, with all the happiness that many
smsss ' ifs was b Blasted for Years by the
terrible ravages Of sickness. The story is
most interesting as told to reporter:
, II was an invalid for years, suffering first
with one complaint and then with another.
My case was truly that OF complication OF
some years ago. The thing which caused me
the most discomfort and made me offensive
to my family was the worst case of indiges-
ton imaginable. I made all around me
miserable by my suferings, and was most
miserable myself: had the best physician
scriptions relieved me temporarily. But
the pains and misery would all soon return
again. became desperate, and started in
to try remedies Of which I read. Among
them, were the Pink Pills. Their appear
ID the TOR took the
pills and followed out the directions to the
letter, and before many days began to feel
like different woman. For six weeks
took the pills regularly, and can truthfully
add after that was as well as any one in
the family. This change for the better in my
friends to take the pills. We buy them all
from the drug store of John Duryea, at the
corner Of De Kalb and Summer Avenues.
II assure you it was impossible for me to
oversee my household for three years. Now
visit my kitchen every day, do my own
marketing and shopping; in o word, look
after everything connected with my home
%Oh, YES, 1 still keep taking the pills. I
take one daily after dinner. Prevention,
you know, is better ard cheaper than cure
I verify believe one half of the women
who are suffering from the ills which our
sex are heir to would be up and well If they
could be induced to give the Pink Pills q
fair trial. certainly recommend them
heartily and feel grateful. to the physician
who put them on the market"
Mrs: Smith is q woman of some means
and standing in the community and, there
fore, her testimony will be accepted with
out question by all thoughtful people.

feeling is more hopeful because retail trade
is better. The situation in WOODEN goods

n Boy and q Bear.


James, the 9-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Gregerson, is the hero of
the hour, on account of having saved
his baby sister from the clutches of a
hungry bear, and then, with his fathers
rifle, killed the brute. The Gregersons
reside few miles from Olga, and left
James to keep house and care for the
baby while they did some shopping.
During their absence, the bear made its
appearance at the house. driving James
from the room where the, baby lay. The
boy recovered his nerve in few mo-
ments, and on returning to the room
was Mortified to see the bear clawing at
the bed clothes on the crib, where the
baby was screaming with terror. The
boy, without a moments hesitation,
dashed into the room past the aston
ished bear, and catching the infant in
his arms, made race for the door,
reaching it just ahead of the now angry
bear. Slamming the door shut James
deposited it in a, place of safety, and
returning to the house by the back way
secured his fathers rife. Poking the
muzzle through the window of the
room in which. the bear was Gagged, he
fired several bullets into the animals
body. When Mr.. and Mrs., Gregerson
returned, an hour later, they found
James hiding in the barn with the
baby, while the bear lay dead upon the
floor of the house. Beyond a few
scratches the baby was unhurt.

Officially Notified.

Gov. Clough was officially notified by
Judge s. II. Moer, of Duluth, that Jo-
seph Soular and William Verrill had
been convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.
Both of the condemned murderers are
boys, Soular being but II and Verrill IS
years of age. The crime of which they
are convicted is the murder of Samuel
DeMars, who was found lying dead on
the road near Biwabik, on the Gogeblc

set the day for the execution of these
two youthful criminals.

No Strike Probable.

Advices from Masaba say authorita-
lively that there will be no strike by
miners unions on the. Masaba and Yer
million ranges this year if wages are at
all fair, neither will an attempt be made
to enforc the eight-hour rate. It is the
purpose of the unions to work slowly,
gaining strength by adding members,
and to work for needed reforms. Two
things are to be asked of the legisla-
ture this year-!frst. a law providing
for mining inspector, to be elected by
the people of the county, and providing
penalties for mine owners who do not
take every possible precaution for the
safety of their workingmen; and
another law, making heavy penalties
for blacklisting union men simply be-
cause 81 their membership in q union.
