EIGHT FATAL SHOTS
Demented Iowa Farmer Kills His
Entire Family, Including
Himself.

CARROLL, Ia, Sept. 29.-The slaugh-
ter of a mother and her six children oc-
Cured at the home of John Boecker, a
farmer living eight miles northwest OF
here Afterward the fendish or de-
mented husband at whose hands they
died completed his bloody work by
sending bullet into his own head, in
hicting a fatal wound. The family
were prosperous Germans, and, as far as
known, lived happily. No motive for
the tragedy has been disclosed. Boeck-
er's victims are his wife and these chill
dren: Caroline, aged IA; Christine,
aged, 9; Henry, aged 8; Lizzie, aged g.;
John, aged 3, and an infant. All are
dead but Henry and the latter cannot
recover from his wounds.
Discovery of the Crime.
Boecker had an engagement to help a
neighbor thresh and on his not putting
in an appearance his brother Henry,
who lives about 90 rods away, went to
see why he did not come. The doors OF
the Boecker house were locked and
there were no signs OF life about. Henry
tried to get in the house, but met no re-
sponse and finally he kicked down the
door and came upon terrible scene.
Boecker, with his wife and baby, slept
in back room and the three corpses
lay on one bed. The wife had been
shot in the neck with shotgun which
stood in the corner; the baby had been
shot and it's head crushed with the butt
of a revolver. The man, still breath
ing, had bullet hole
High Up in the Forehead
and by his side was revolver with two
chambers empty. The Boecker home is
a story and half frame house and up
stairs Henry and Lizzie lay on bed
with bullet holes in the forehead, the
latter dead, the boy still breathing. In
the opposite corner of the same room
Caroline, Christine and John were
dead, each with bullet hole in the
forehead, though Caroline had two.
Becker was 43 years old and for over
90 years lived in the same neighbor-
hood, in fact, on the same farm.

esting. In an interview Mr.. Roche said:

the business transacted at Brussels will
result in the re-opening of the India

bimetallic question, is an exceedingly
clever man, and powerful champion
of the cause. Though considered free
lance by the public generally in the
soicing of his views while in England,
have the strongest reason for bellev-
ing that he was an accredited repre-
sentative of the United States govern
ment on that occasion. Next to the
United States, the strongest supporters
of bimetallism are the French, and l
think the recent action Of the Bank OF
England, which has given rise to much
discussion, was the outcome of diplo-
matte representations made by the
French. I believe we have not done as
much for the cause in two or three
years as the Bank of England has done

Tropical Lumber Camps.

It will undoubtedly be news to many
that the vast mahogany forests of
Nicaragua are controlled in Boston,
says "The Transcript" of that city.
The cutting and shipping of the
mahogany from that country is great
enterprise in itself, to say nothing of
bringing it here aud manufacturing it
into lumber. One steamer plies reg
ularly between Boston and Central
America engaged in this trade. Five
hundred thousand to seven hundred
Thousand feet is her usual cargo.
While the steamer is at this writing
on her way to the lumber ports, there
ara somewhere on the seas, bound to
Boston, four schooners laden with
mahogany logs. Their carRoes are
each about 256, 900 to 300, 900 feet.
EMPLOYED in Nicaragua and the
United Ltates of Colombia ara from
one thousand to fifteen hundred native
workmen. These are under American
bosses. The trees from which maho-
g any furniture is made vary in age and
size. When cut, they range in age
from twenty-five to thirty years, and
some of them are even seventy-6ve
years old. They average twenty-five
inches or more in diameter, and run as
large as forty inches, and even more.
For every mahogany tree that is cut,
two others are planted, and thus the
forests are practically inexhaustible.
