DRIVEN TO DEATH.
j. NJ. Hurt Dies n Raying Maniac Be-
cause of the Wnywardncss of
His Daughter.

Driven to insanity by the acts of his
daughter, j. M. Hurt is dead at his
home in Plymouth county. Now the
father is dead, and the daughter can
not be found to notify her and ask her
to come home. II is only short time
ago that Louise Hurt, who was working
asa domestic, was arrested and taken to
Storm Lake to answer the charge of
larceny from a family in which she had
been employed. The girl was found
guilty and sentenced to serve Is days
in the county Jail of Buena Vista coun-
ty. She was liberated at the end of
six days, but left for parts unknown.
The news of the daughters arrest
came to the father, and he took it ter
ribly to heart. Finally his despond-
ency turned to madness, and it took
five men most of the time to control
him. In this state he died a raving
maniac, and the daughter cannot be
found by the authorities. Hurt was a
respectable farmer and well thought
of in the community in which he lived.

PAINT MINES.
Valuable Discovery Made on a Farm
Near Fairfield While Drilling
for Well.

About year ago C. w. Whitman and
Rennett Brothers were drilling we'll
on the farm Of John Krumboltz, near
A. Freshwater's, few miles west of
Fairfield, when they struck a peculiar
substance which they have since been
led to believe is the celebrated vene-
tian red. The substance was found 1856
feet from the suface, and lies in an is
foot vein. These gentlemen have ex-
perimented with the article, and found
that it made good paint, used even
without grinding. 1t is of a very dark
red color, and contains an oil, and
makes good paint mixed with water.
The gentlemen have drilled wells for
years, but never before found anything
resembling this last discovery.

Very Cheerful View of
the Situation.
All the Madrid newspapers discuss
the peace conditions at length. Eel
Pals prints the text of the protocol
signed by the United States and Spain
with mourning borders and says:
Spain, without colonies, is reduced
to the role of thirdrate power"
El Impartial says: peace will not
bring to Spain even the rest she so
much needs after three years and a
half of war"
lei Nacion says bitterly: "If Spain
had at least been vanquished only
after a furious and heroic struggle
she could resign herself. Peace with
the United States will only be mo-
mentary respite from our misfor-
tune"
Ell Globo (ministeriaD pines for
peace between Spain and the United
States, and says the communications
on eastern questions which Day and
Cambon have signed begin the first
chapter in the new history of Eu-
rope.
Ell TEMPO Conservative says:
Peace is an accomplished fact. The
bitterness of defeat does not prevent
us from seeing with satisfaction the
end of the war"

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparila. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"
