WIPED OUT TIE FAMILY.
A Chicago Carpenter Kills His Family and
Suicides.

a Chicago Carpenter Kills HIS Family n
Suicides.
CHICAGO, Feb. Orchard Klattke,
q Lakeview carpenter, murdered his
father, mother, wife and three chill
drer last night and then completed his
work by killing himself. The dead
ere:
Richard Klattke, 80 years old.
Kate Klattl1e, his wife.
John Klattke, his father, aged 70.
Nina Klattke, his mother, aged II.
Nina Klattke, daughter, aged 9.
Anna Klattke, daughter, aged 8.
Emma Klattke, daughter, aged Z.
The members of the Klattke family
We're found dead early this morning IN
their little cottage at 2O7 Berteau
avenue by Matthew Brown, q saloon
keeper. Mr.. Brown, wishing some
work done, called at the Klattke
home. He raped on the door, but
there was no response. Knowing that
the Klattkes were early risers he be-
came suspicious, and calling neighbors
he broke in the door.
In the house he found the seven
corpses. Each had a bullet wound in
the head and death had evidently
been instantaneous. Beside the body
Of Richard Klattke lay a revolver and
empty cartridge shells were scattered
about the rooms. One peculiar fea-
ture was the lack of any indication of
a struggle on the part of any of the
victims except Mrs. Klattke. The
odor of chloroform pervaded the
house. From this it is surmised that
klattke first chloroformed the entire
family and had then at his leisure
taken deliberate aim and put a bullet
into the brain of each.
Klattke was Respondent. His family
was cold and hungry. Since Christ
mas he had been out of work and he
ended his troubles just as relief was
at hand.

TEA CULTURE IN AMERICA.
Begun Ninety Years Ago, 10 Has Ad-
vancod to : Promising stage.

Begun Ninety Years Ago, 10 Has Ad-
vanced to : Promising stage.
The cultivation Of tea in the United
States was attempted first by the
French botanist Michaux, who,in 1904,
conducted q series of experiments in
South Carolina. Since that the eli
mate in the neighborhood of Charles
ton has been generally regarded as
favorable, and the ultimate success
OF the experiment has not been
unexpected. Until recently, how
ever, the experiments have not, ac-
cording to the Montreal Herald,
been altogether satisfactory. Little
patches, in some instances large gar
dens, have produced tea Of fine flavor,
though generally it has been devoid Of
strength Of infusion. 1t has been ar
gued that this failure in pungency is
largely due to defective cutting and
especially to inadequate rolling of the
leaf, in consequence of which the cup
qualities are not fully developed.
About ten years ago the national de-
partment of agriculture made the first
serious attempt to produce CONNER
clal tea on a scale sufficiently large to
arrive at a decisive rosult; and since
that time a considerable share OF the
cost OF procuring tea seed in Asia, has
been borne by the United States gov
eminent.
The most recent experiment has
been encouraging. The experts of a
firm OF tea merchants IN Baltimore
have stated that the tea grown on the
Summerville estate near Charleston is
equal to English breakfast tea of the
best grade and superior to many Chi
nese and Indian grades. The samples
submitted were all of one quality and
character. They were black, crisp
and we'll scented. They made a strong
beverage, and this fact was said to be
due to the treatment employed in the
processes OF fermentation and curing.
The firm thinks it highly probable
that perfected methods of curing the
American product will give tea similar
to the various kinds that come from
China and India; and it is freely
prophesied that the American teas will
be shortly able to enter into effective
competition with the teas of the East.

lOre!-I Don't Like You Any
more.
1t has probably been noticed by
many, that u most brilliant roast
ing was rendered last week to q
certain diminutive inhabitant of
the "moss-back region" by the es-
teemed editor OF the Lancaster
Gazette in which, he begs our leave
to state certain opinions. (private
Of course,) Of the aforementioned
inhabitant, which, though not
strictly derogatory to the moss
backs character, could hardly be
regarded in the light Of generous
praise. In the course of his obser-
walton, he mentions that the at
tention of all the visitors at the
ball ground were driven from the
game by the "mellow thrill of a
soft, rich, dark-bUwn voice" / hope
the honorable editor of the Gazette
does not forget that there were
several ladies and gentleman in
the stand, not counting himself.
1t is understood also, upon the
authority of this brilliant roaster,
that a person gazing upon the
slight and efTeminate form Of the
individual in question, would
never imagine what marvellous
powers of elocution were possessed
by this boy. think if a phono-
graph were placed in this editors
sleeping room, it would give up in
despair trying to obtain a faithful
copy of the sonorous sounds issuing
from the gentleman's nasal pro-
tuberance. If the gentleman
would sleep during the next ga me
all base ball roOters yells would be
awed into silence by the melancho.
ly grunts proceeding from a hog
who sits in front of the grandstand
on chair five sizes to small for
him, with cigar-or a stogie la
one hoof, and an umbrella in the
other. He mentions also that the
mind was drawn from all affairs of
this mundane sphere, in order TO
explore the mysterious depths Of
this young mans digestive organs.
1t is probable that there is a GER
tain man who reminds one fOrcible
of "Bummelheiser" and no second
look at him is needed to convince
the would be explorer that it is
dangerous undertaking to penc-
trate into the uttermost depths Of
that mans physiology. II is pos
sible that tkis wonderful specimen
of the genus homo, has travelled
thr, ugh sevent' el states in order
to find out who can yell loud
to warrant him in an
attack upon small and innocent
boy who would not harm a fly? l
suppose the gentleman was so
attracted by the steam calliope
notes of enthusiasm that he let his
stogie go out.
Last, but not least, / would have
it understood by the gentlemanly
editor that my rooter is my own,
and is paid for.
