Ii we were to go out on some mans
farm and knock down string of
fence that would cost him two or
three hours work, then as soon rs he
got it laid up some one else would
knock it down again, and a third
man womld come along and do the
same trick after the farmer had re-
paired, the fourth man would most
likely face a double barrelled shot
gun. Yet it is 40 uncommon thing
for three or four different persons to pie
the same bunch Of type in our office
the same day. 1t requires from two
to four hours each time to straighten
it up, But the printer must not let
his angry passions rise.

KILLED HIS FAMILY
Then Shot Himself Through
the Head.
DESPERATE DEED OF A CARPENTER
He Was Out of Work and His Family
Was Destitute-A Deliberately
Planned Crime.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The entire family oi
six. consisting of his father, mother.
wife and three children, were murdered
last night by Richard Klattke, Lake
view carpenter, who completed the work
by killing himself.
The dead are: Richard Klattke, a
carpenter, SO years old; Kate Klattke,
his wife, John Klattke, his father, 73
Nina Wilhelmine, his mother-in-law,
Il; Nina Klattke, his daughter, 8;
Anna Klattke, his daughter, s, and
Emma Klattke, his daughter, Z.
The members of the Klattke family
were found dead early this morning in
their little cottage, at 2O7 Berskau
avenue, two blocks from Cuyler station,
a suburb OF Chicago, on the Northwest.
ern railroad, by Matthew Brown, a
saloon keeper, who called to secure the
services of the carpenter. Each of the
seven corpses had bullet wound in the
head and the death of all had evidently
been instantaneous. Reside the body of
Richard Klattke lay a revolver, and
empty cartridge shells were scattered
about the room. There were no indica-
tions of struggle on the part of any OF
the victims.
A heavy odor, which appeared to be
that OF chloroform, pervaded the house.
From this it was surmised that Klattke
first chloorformed the entire family and
then deliberately aimed and put bullet
into the brain OF each. Everything
pointed to deliberately planned murder
by the head of the family, and desire to
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-02-06

place himself and his family beyond any
further earthly troubles.
Klattke was respondent, his family
were cold and hungry. Since Christmas
he had been out of work, and he ended
his troubles just as relief was in sight.
This morning the next-door neighbor,
Adolph Schmidt, called at the cottage
with the joyful news that he had found
job for Klattke. At the same time
Matt Brown arrived on the same err
rand.
A close examination of the remains
showed one of the victims alone had any
warning of her fate. This was Mrs
Kate Klattke, the wife of the murderer.
She, it appears. struggled with her hus-
band before the fatal shot was fred.
Her hands were scratched and her cloth
ing torn. She bad evidently been
overpowered and thrown beside the
dead body of her little 7-year-old daugh-
ter, Emma.

Hearing to be Given This Evening on the
Proposed Amendment.
The committee on ordinances will
meet tonight and will consider the
proposed amendment to the ordinance
relating to the obstruction of signs on
the streets. The board of public works
has issued an order to compel mer-
chants and others to remove signs en-
croaching on the streets contrary to
the city ordinances by June H.
The ordinance reads as follows:
No sign, show bill, show board, goods,
wares, merchandise or other thing shall
project into any street beyond the
street line under penalty of not less
than IS nor more than $50 for each Of
fense and a like penalty for every day
such sign, show bill, show board, goods,
wares or merchandise or other thing
shall be continued after an order to re-
move the same given by the superin-
tendent of streets, provided, however,
that the sign, show bill, or show board
when it's lowest part is at least seven
and one-half feet above the sidewalk
may extend into the street and over the
sidewalk, beyond the street line dis
tance not exceeding three feet. Pro-
vided further, that canvas awning
when it's lowest part is at least seven
and one-half feet above the sidewalk
may extend into the street and over the
sidewalk distance not exceeding the
width of the sidewalk.
The ordinance when amended will
read after the words three feet" as
follows: Cor may be attached to post
erected at or within one and one-half
feet from the curb line of the street
The hearing tonight will be an inter-
esting one inasmuch as many of the
merchants are disposed to resent as far
as they can by protesting the removal
of their signs by the board of public

SENATOR MORGAN ANGRY.
He Went Into the Cuban Question a
Great Length.

He Went Into the Cuban Question at
Great Length.
Washington, June Sat 2 p. m. the
immigration bill was taken up in the
senate, and Mr.. Morgan, dem., Of Ala
bama, offered an amendment providing
that the bill shall not apply to persons
coming from Cuba, and addressed the
senate in support of it, saying that
these Cubans came to this country jnl
order to escape the prosecutions { E
Spain and to live under free institu-
tions.
Mr.. Morgan went into the Cuban
question at great length. He asserted
that the Cubans had been selected by
the Spanish government for ruinous.
oppressive and unbearable taxation.
He confessed that he was not averse 10
war with Spain If she continued in her
course of abominable despotism He
did not deny his sympathies with Cuba,
he said, but as an American citizen
and a. senator he had confined his ac-
ton in the matter entirely to constitu-
tional duties of the government to it's
o"l SltlACiio. 4hl. Sdu u6fll6u udNS
ing at any time said anything offensive
to the queen-regent of Spain.
He eulogized her as woman of very
high character and Of almost unexam-
pied virtue, and said that she was en-
titled, by virtue Of the regency of wo-
manhood, to the utmost respect, and
that every senator SO treated her and
SO spoke of her. He remarked that jf
the queen of Great Britain, the queen
regent of Spain the queen of Greece
and the empress of Germany were to
meet in Cuba and were to witness some
of the things done there in the name of
Spain upon innocent women and chill
dren who were shot to death by bru-
tai soldiery, those great and noble wo-
men would rise in their majesty and
would strike to death the power which
enabled a brute like Weyler to infict
such wrongs.
But he said, 1--WE are to stand by,
according to the presidents theory, idle
and mute. and are to witness the con-
tinued repetition of these brutal acts"
Mr.. Morgan's speech was interrupted
by the presentation Of partial report
on the District of Columbia bill, which
was agreed to and a further conference
ordered.
Mr.. Morgan then continued his
speech He referred to General Weyler
as one who plunged his blood-stained
sword into the bosoms of women and
children and whose policy was de-
clared to be one of determination.
Resuming, Mr.. Morgan spoke of the
newspaper statements, attributing to
President Cleveland a purpose of COM
bining the question of belligerency with
one Of reciprocity. and expressed the
hope that the president would not in
terfere with Cuba as he had interfered
with the Hawaiian Islands
At the close of Mr. Morgan's speech
the senate went into executive session
and adjourned at $40.
