CHICAGO, ILL, April 3.-After more
than four years and a half have elapsed
Ernestine Dunkey, alias Warnicke, alias
Abraham, is under arrest in the suburban
village of Melrose Park charged with the
brutal m urder of Ernest Kueneth, an aged
and rich farmer Of that place.
On the morning of October 81, 1892
Kueneth was found huddIed in a chair
before his fire, dead and mangled, great
slash across his skull and a terrible wound
on his temple. A blood stained corn
knife and stove-poker lay near by. The
crime remained mystery until recently.
Herman Dunkey, who lived on Fisk
street, this city, quarreled with his wife
and told friend with whom he worked
a circumstantial story which pointed to
his wife, the prisoner, as the murderess
The police were informed and her arrest
followed. Dunkey betrayed the woman
after be had discovered that she was not
his legal wife and when she deserted him.
He also accuses the woman of wanting
him to insure the lives of his children by
a former wife and Offering to kill them
and OF asking an elder son to push his
father into the lake when fishing.
Dunkey stated to the Justice of the
Peace to-day at the preliminary hearing
that the woman returned to their home
the day after the murder with disheveled
and matted hair. which proved to be
stained with blood, with blood on her
dress, her face bruised and scratched and
marks of fingers on her chin and throat
She said she had terrible fight with a
man and burned her clothing on stove
He said that she confessed that her vic.
tim had only $3.50, and that she killed
him because he proposed marriage to her
and broke his word. although mentioning
no names, and Dunkey said he never
thought Of connecting her with Kueneth' s
murder. Nc Marsen. who is now under
sentence of death here for the murder of
Fritz Hotzueter, was suspected of Kue-
neth's murder, because he left the village
hurriedly after the tragedy. The woman

MADRID, SPAIN, April 3.-Public en-
thusiasm is running very nigh over the
news from Manila of the Spanish vic

driving the insurgents out of Cavite and
the complete capture of the province by

here that Spanish successes nave ended

His biography is very interesting one.
He was born in Hamburg May 7, IS33
His talents early attracted the attention
of Schumann, who in 1853, in an article in
the Neue Zeitschrift fur Musk, drew pub
lie attention TO him.
His progress, however, was slow. until
in 1861 he went to Vienna, where he met
with such encouragement that he adopted
that city as his home. The "Deutscbes
Requiem" (186S) established his reputa-
tion on an enduring basis, and he has

As seen from the press boat Cam bridge
made fine squirt at Bishops Creek,
which was answered by Oxford, whose
men seemed perfectly fresh. 1t was a
good race to and from some distance from
this point, in fact, from start to finish.
Oxford shot by Hammersmith bridge
nearly a length ahead of Cambridge.
Cam bridge put on squirt and reduced the
lead, but the efforts of the light blues
died away and Oxford gradually increased
their lead to the end, having virtually
won the race after passing Chiswick Eyot.
Oxford's time was 10 minutes and
seconds. Her time in last years race,
which the Oxford boat won by two-ffths
OF length, was 20 minutes and 2 seconds
There was an American in each boat.
De Knopp of New College, Oxford, irowed
bow for his university. He is resident
of Albany. B. H. Howell. No. in the
Cam bridge boat lives in New York City.
Oxford's time officially announced was
19 min. IL As sec. The same authority
says that Oxford won by two and two
thirds lengths.
The Globe and the Pail Mall Gazette
agree in the statement that the Oxford
boat passed Barnes bridge three lengths
ahead and that the race was then virtually
over, although Fernie, the Cam bridge
stroke, did not relax his efforts to spur his
men on to possible victory. The betting
just before the start was to Oxford,
with few takers. Cambridge won the toss
and had the Middlesex side of the river.

1889, was 30.2 bushels per acre. This
prize yield was a little more than seven
times as great as that of the average
acre; in other words, if the farmer had
40 acres of such corn as this prize acre.
and would give it the cultivation, the
manure and the, careful attention
throughout the season that this acre
received, he would harvest a crop
equal to the average crop of $50 acres
This prize acre of corn is, we be-
lieye, the largest that was ever grown
under ordinary conditions. We are
assured that there is no possibility Of
mistake or error in the yield, every
precaution having been taken to au-
thenticate it. a larger. crop was once
grown in one of the southern states,
the corn used being the White Gourd, n
large southern variety, too late to be of
any use in the corn belt; but to grow
it, $226-S2 worthNof commercial fertiliz-
ers were used. The next largest crop
ever reported was grown in New York,
and made 191 bushels of crib-cured
corn, Clarks Early Mastodon being
used as seed. Here, too, commercial
fertilizers costing $3.50 were employed.
In Mr.. Jochimsen's crop no fertilizers,
except the virgin fertility of the land,
supplemented by Is loads of barnyard
manure were employed. The result
shows the possibility of an acre. II is
not to be expected that any farmer can
make all his acres do as we'll or even
nearly as well; but by the adoption of
thoroughly good methods in corn Gull
ture, ne can attain to crops far above
the average, and crops that will be
profitable even in the face of depressed
prices.
