Stop, Thief

Stop a small malady, which is stealing
your strength, before it outruns your power
to arrest it, and recover what it took from
you. The safest and promptest recuperator
of waning vitality is Hostetter's Stomach

functions whose interruption interferes
with general health. Use the Bitters for

ported in favor of Senator Duponts right to
the seat. but II the Democrats all vote against
him he will have to get some populist votes
to get in. Neither Senator Dupont nor his
friends have any doubt OF his final success.
1t is said by some that the reason some of
the Republican senators oppose making II
change in the offices of secretary and Serge

troll more patronage under the present demo

Senator German virtually acknowledges the
hopelessness of the Democratic cause when
he announced his intention to retire from

that the Republicans of Maryland will leave
no stone unturned to have him succeeded by

An ArtfuI Dodge.

Everybody knows that the Liberty Bell,
that glorious old relic, has crack, and
this crack, tells how truly it proclaimed to
all the world that America was free and
independent. When the bell stopped in
Elkton, on it's journey to the Atlanta
Exposition, the citizens OF the town
and the school children turned out en-
masse and accorded the bell and its escort
q royal welcome. But when the train
pulled in, the crack of the bell was on the
side away from the view of the populace,
and when Beckner, the enterprising photo
grapher OF Elkton, turned his Tense upon
the crowd and the bell, he saw that the
crack was not there. So he played upon
his inventive skill, and determined to
have the crack-whether it was there or
not. With India ink and pen he formed
the streak upon the negative, and the pho
tographs printed crack and all. To those
wondering why it was there-it appeared
that he had a double re active serpentine
Tense that searched everywhere and turned
its eagle eye around but the Cincher knows
Beckner, and knew his artful dodge.

Now For Our Park.

Now that Elkton is to have town i'm.
provement, the Cincher would mOdestly
bring forth the proposition made by the
WING sometime since, that the citizens con-
tribute toward the improvement of the
grounds around FAIR Creek, and thus found
a public park, wherein the weary can find
solace and genuine comfort in the umbra-
geous shadows of the trees and hear the
gentling ripples of the creek, when the sun
is beaming down as though to set the great
big world atlame. Only few dollars
would be needed for this GREAT improve
ment-a dollar would work wonders there
and think of the advantages. They are
enormous. The WING and the Cincher
are after the park-aud hope to catch it.

Peninsula Fur Trade.

The fur trade on the Peninsula. and es-
pecially in Kent county, is now assuming
large proportions. 1t is no unusual sight in
passing through any section of Kent to see
the hides of coons. muskrats, minks, some
other and less valuable kinds Of hides either
nailed against negro huts or on boards to dry.
Then, too. no crossroads store but has its
complement OF hides taken in exchange for
merchandise to be sold to traders for cash.
The trade in these articles on the Peninsula
reaches, hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars. in spite of great reductions in prices
paid for fur within recent years. Mar
Gus Ascher, the pioneer in the trade on the
Eastern Shore and who is now termed the
'fur king said that while the golden age of
the fur trade in Kent county and this section
OF the State is passed, the trade is still large
and brings IL handsome income to II class of
winter trappers who most need it. III sin
gle season he bought 25.000 muskrat skins.
which averaged 30 cents each, or the hand
some sum of 81 800. This does not include n
great number of mink hides. which then sold
ut from - to 50 each, otter hides at from Sc
to 81, coon GO cents, opossum 20 cents, red
fox Sl.25 to $3.50 and rabbits from % to 4
cents. Skins are much cheaper now and
scarcer, yet the number of trappers has in
creased tenfold The rabbit and muskrat are

mails are sold after being dressed for ten cents

popular appreciation, and when served as
terrapin only an epicure can detect the diff
ference.

"kitty Wells"

OF all the cats in the world. there are
cats of all sizes and colors, cats OF all kinds
Of disposition and all grades of intelligence
Mr.. Charles A. Danna, Editor of the New
York Sun, had one as valued possession,
and Author Black, had his black cat,
which made its bed upon his table and
among his most valued sheets Of paper.
The Egyptian worships the cat and it is said
that the Nile is permitted to overflow its
banks in order to allow Of the land becom-
ing sufficiently fertile to raise cat-tails
cat-nips and cat-sup.' So while all the
world has cats, SO has Elkton one Of mighty
mind and manner. Black as coal and as
sharp as steel. This cat is valued
adjunct of the apothecary Of DIR. Henry C..
Wells, where she keeps off bad spells, con-
jures the drugs, and chases the mice away
with carving knife. But while she
catches mice and smells around drugs, her
cultured palate Graves other food and
"Kitty," one day started out to find it.
She had not far to go, for across the way is
Elkton's leading hostelry, the Howard
House. and into which she dashed with
lightning speed. She took not time to
register, but entered the dining room and
called for the menu, ate her dinner, and
since that time has regularly gone to the
Howard House for her meals, upon hearing
the bell ring. This is a fact, and il the
doubling reader still has doubt, he is respect
fully referred to "mine host Wilson or DIR.
Wells, who will verify this true story.

Being Out Of Work and Despondent Ho
ChIoroforms His Aged Father and
Mother, His Wife and Three Children
and Then Finishes the Work with Re-
voIver, Himself Receiving the Last Bull
iet-Bodies Cold When Discovered
CHICAGO, Feb e.-An entire family of
ak, father, mother, wife and three chill
1ren, were murdered Tuesday night by
Richard Klattke, Lake View carpenter.
who then completed his work by killing
himself. The dead are: Richard Klattke,
8s years old; Kate Klattke, his wife; John
Klattke. his father, aged 7S years; Will
helmina Klattke, his mother, aged II
years; Nina Klattke, aged o; Anna
Klattke, aged 8; Emma Klattke, aged 2,
the latter three his daughters.
The members OF the Klattke family
were found dead early Tuesday morning
In their little cottage at 2O7 Berteau ave
nue., block west of Lincoln avenue, and
two blocks from the Cuyler station ON ths
Chicago and Northwestern road.
Discovered by saloon Keeper.
The discovery was made by Matthew
Brown, a saloon keeper at Graceland and
Lincoln avenue. Mr. Brown. wishing
some work done at his saloon, called at
the Klattke residence to secure the scrv-
ices OF the carpenter. He raped on the
door, but there was no response. 1t was
7.8O o'clock, and. knowing that the
Klattkes were early risers, he became sus-
picious, called neighbo-s and broke in. In
the house he found the seven corpses.
Each had bullet wound in his head. In
each case the ball had penetrated the
brain and death had evidently been in
Simultaneous. Beside the body of Richard
Klattke lay revolver, and empty cart
ridge shells were scattered about the
rooms
odor of ChIoroform.
One peculiar feature was the lack of
any indication Of a struggle on the part
of any OF the victims, and heavy odor,
which appeared to be that Of chloroform.
peryaded the house. From this IL was
surmised that Richard had first chloro-
formed the entire family, and had then, at
his leisure, taken deliberate aim and had
put the bullet into the brain of each. Mr..
Brown took hasty survey only of the
premises, and then FASTENED 10 "a tele-
phone and sent word to the police at the
Sheffield avenue station A detail of OIL
GERS was sent TO the scene in patrol
wagon, and a more careful examination
was made of the surroundings. There
seemed but little more to complete tho
tale told by Brown.
Deliberately Planned Deed.
Everything pointed 10 deliberately
planned murder by the head of the family
and a desire to place himself and family
beyond any further earthly troubles.
| Klattke was despondent. His family was
| cold and hungry. Since Christmas he
| has been out of work, and he ended. his
| troubles just as relief was an sight
Wednesday, morning his next door neigh
| Dor, Adolph Schmidt of 255 Berteau ave-
| nue. called at the cottage with the joyful
news that he had found n job for klattke.
| About the same time Matt Blown arrived
on the same errand They came too late
| just how much no one knows, for tho
bodies were cold when discovered.
