REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
MI Jerome +. johnson, the chairman
OF the excursion Committee, from which
a large revenue is expected, said that there
were two considerable items yet to be
accounted for. One OF these is pledges
to the amount OF 81 500 from the local
Christian Endeavor societies. The other
Is balance due from the business mems
fund, amounting to about $500.
Mr.. johnson said that this $4,000 was
good and would balance the expend-
lures and the receipts
AS a matter Of fact, 1t will more than
balance the accounts and leave the COIN
mittee about 81 COO to the good The
committee had three tents, two of which
were hired and one was purchased. The
purchased tent, Mr.. ohnson said, is worth
about $1,000, and it will possibly be
sold.
The committee on printing made an adj
mirable report, from which it was learned
,,,tIl ha
several concerts were given by the

cessions TO booth holders etc.

held at Which the business of the convention
Will be wound up and that this meeting
will be held on the call Ofthe chairman some

thus be seen from the result OF yesterda VS.
meeting that the committee has all its
affairs We'll in hand and as ii counts on the
50 600 as cOllectab!e. the convention will
come out in good shape.
one of the members said that IL is very
seldom that an undertaking OF such vast
proportions as the present has SO gratifying
result. There has been no waste; no
jpnketing; no money spent or asked except
for good purpose and toward which
there has been q general desire to see the
committee through andespeciaily has it been
demonstrated that the coming here of so
interesting and su bstantial class OF

and watch from Mr.. Rossi's guest. She
told the detective that the watch was in
her room and when the officer made a
search he found the time piece. Pauline
would not admit taking hermistress' iewelry
until Sutton placed her under arrest. She
then broke down and confessed, saying
that she had pawned the articles.
Thepawnbroker proved, however. thatthe
girl had not visited his place, and then
Pauline told Sutton that she had hid the
ring and two pins in an ash pile In the back
wand A search here failed to find them
and the detective gave up the hunt and took
the girl to the station.
She was turned over to Matron Pennifill,
who made n thorough search Of her cloth
ing, but stilldi not find the missing je welry.
The girl finally admitted to the officer that
she had thrown the ring and two pins down

Importance and the public certainly hope
that every claim OF the inventor will
prove true.

Geo. W. Ross, self-styled Poet, Dies in

" Geo. ". Ross, tie strange looking in
dividual who wrote up our business men
last summer. died at Mankato on Tues
day. The Review Of that city says:
Ross was a queer character. He was
tall man with long white hair. He pro-
fessed to be poet and literary man.
EARLY in the fall ~he got out q paper in
which the business houses were written
up in verse. He came to Mankato DUR
ing the summe, from New York. He
was Withouts money and lived after the
fashion Of the genus Bohemian Ross
had but little to say to any person and
while he frequented public resorts a.
great. deal he never made himself ac-
.qualnted with people
Ross was taken. sick about three weeks
ago and three days afterward was re-.
moved 10 the hospital. Efforts were
made o,fnd out something Of his past,
but little information was secured. He.
was scotchman by birth and said he
had no relatives ii this country He
stated that at one time he was may Of
Fort Worth, Texas, and owned hundreds
of acres Of land in that vicinit
Ross strange delneanor was commen-l
ted. on BY many people who frequently.
saw him either on the streets OF else,
where. The question was frequently
asked who was the man, but no one ap-
peared to know anything Of him. His
long white hair and melancholy look.
attracted much ATTENTION.

DEED OI A M MAC.
He Murders Three IN One Family and
Then Commits Suicide.
lnfatuation With q Young Girl Led to
the Horrible and Bloody
Crime

/
tory of fWatonwancounty occurred Tues
day morning in South Branch to wnship,
twelve miles southwest Of ST. james.
-Four persons were killed.
The tragedy occurred at the. farmhouse
OF the Joblinskls. in South Branch, at an
early hour in the morning. :s II.
The news reached ST.. James at Z o.
clock and Sheriff Forsythe and his dep
uties, the coroner and a numberof citi-
zens at once repaired to the scene.
Three bodies were found IN pools of
blood in the house, and one, that Of
Chas. Jobllnski, was found lying II the
yard about 100 feet away, all stone dead.
The story Of the csime and the cause
that led to it, as near as can be learned,
is as follows:
Henry, Jo5linski was a well-to- do
farmer with family of seven children.
He was of Polish birth, and came to this
country about 10 years ago.
Among his children was daughter,
Annie, who was indirectly the cause of
the wholesale murder.
About two years ago Jack. Gable was
employed by Joblinski, and ever since
Cable had been an inmate of the Joblin-
ski home. .-~s@ ..4.
OF late the elder Joblinski ha, been
suspicious of his daughter and Cable.
surmising that the latter was exercising ng
an undue influence over her.
Up to Tuesday morning no open rup.
ture had occurred. 2> ..
1t is claimed Cable wanted to marry
the girl, but could not on account of her
age. -.. :...
Tuesday morning the father accused
the girl of improper relations with Cable
and threat ened to beat her. "
Cable, who was IN the house at the
time, began abusing the Old man, and
hot words passed. -. s@'> ..@..... { <'....
Gable drew a revolver and began fir
ing, killing the old man instantly at tile
fourth shot,
The boys who were shot were at that
time in the barn.
Hearing the shots they rushed in, and
Cable opened fire upon them, hitting
one in the side, wounding Inn, after
which he jumped through a window.
The other boy turned to retreat and
was hit IN the back. He ran about 1O(
feet and fell dead. ..s
Then Cable ordered the old lady tt
leave the house, but to leave Annie
which she did, taking the smaller chill
| dren with her. H.. .43 1.. -
The murderer, finding himself alon,
with the girl, placed the muzzle of the
revolver behind her right car and sho
her through the head, and then he re
loaded and shot himself, his body belns
found across the body of the Girl.
