The John Nj. Smyth Co. Have No
Agents.

AHtUVSs
The well-merited popularity of the
great mail order establishment Of the
John Nj. Snlyth Co. of Chicago seems to
have induced INSCRIPTIONS parties to 20
through the country and falsely represent
themselves as sales agents for this house.
BY thus representing themselves they
have succeeded in imposing upon many
by selling goods and taking cash and
notes from victims who actually believed
they were purchasing goods from the
representatives Of the firm direct. The
John Nj. Smyth Co. have no agents and
denounce as frauds all parties travelling
through the country and claiming to rep
resent the firm. The public should be ON
the lookout for such impostors.

Burlington, Ia, Authorities Have a
Man Believed to be the CAL

Burlington, Ia. Dec. 30-James c.
Durham. the San Jose, Cal, murderer,
is thought to be under arrest here. If
the prisoner is not the man for whom
reward Of $1,000 is offered, he is so
much like him in every respect that his
intimate friends could be deceived.
The crime for which Durham is wanted
is famous. At lonely farmhouse be-
tween San Jose and Los Gatos, Santa
Clara county, Cal, on the night of Tues
day, May 26, 1896, James G. Durham
slew all the occupants of the residence
save one, his baby boy. His wife, her
mother, her stepfather, her brother, a
man and maid servant We're sacrificed.
They were all members of the family of
Col. E. 2. McGlincy. The deed was
carefully planned. Durham came to his
wife in the night and gave her a chance
to write 4 message to those whom she be-
Eeved would be spared. Then one after
another he killed everybody connected
with the ranch
The HawSeye says that the person iii
the Des Moines county Jail known as Ed
Smith is no other than James {. Dun
ham. The prisoner was arrested here for
drunkenness month ago and would have
been released today but for his resem-
blance to the description of Durham
which had just been received. Durham
will be rearrested on a charge of being
fugitive from justice and will be held
pending instructions from San Jose.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Details OF the Report that Two
Children We're Cremated
Near OSSeO.

Osseo, Wis, Dec. 3O.-[Special. THE
Weekly Recorder comes out with the
story of a shocking tragedy in which two
small children were cremated in their
home:
Just across the Trempealeau county line
In In. the town Of Lincoln, Jackson county,
4 Yea years and daughter aged . years. The
house was really only a shack and was
located on what is known as the Charles
Campbell farm. 1t was composed Of two
rooms,- small one In the rear and a Iarg-
er one In which was the stove. The out
side entrance to the large or front room
was nailed up to thus more securely keep
out the cold. The only entrance was from
the back room. On Thursday morning Mr.
Bouger came to town to work as usual.
The house burned shortly after and before
anybody reached there the two children
were beyond human help. The fire started
In the rear room where there was no stove
thus obstructing their escape through the
door. The children must have started the
fire themselves, as it was such q distance
from the stove. Those first arriving on
the scene managed to break in a window
and pull out trunk, everything else going
up in smoke. Practically nothing was left
of the bodies.

Only two out of the forty candidates
who took the examination here this week
for state teachers certificates succeeded
IN passing the examination, G. A. Collins
of Capron, ILL.,, and c.. l.. Newbery of Ke-

certificate which entities them to teach
for five years IN any of the public schools
of the state without any further eXamin-
alton. None of the number succeeded in
getting an unlimited or life certificate.
The small number who passed is partly
accounted for by the fact that nineteen of
them were taking the examination for the
first time; each candidate being allowed
three successive trials. One of the sue
cessful ones had failed at eight previous
examinations.

the dock of the Northwestern Coal Rail
way company on Allouez bay and steps
We're taken to drench the pile. The work
is still going on. There are about 1000
tons OF bituminous coal in the pile affected,
the coal belonging to the Great Northern
railroad. The Ohio Coal company has
had pile of slack smoldering pretty much
all fall. Strange as it may appear, the
company has abandoned the pile contain
ing about 1000 TONS to burn itself out. 1t
is found that the stuff is so affected by
heat that it cannot be moved, every time
the pile is stirred or water put upon it
the fire getting worse. Il has therefore
been abandoned and the only effort made
is TO keep it from spreading or injuring
the dock. Water is still being poured upon
the fire at the dock of the Lehigh Coal and
Coke company. The fire is a long ways
from out, but is under control. The in
surance companies have taken charge Of
the burned portions and are selling the
damaged coal for what it will bring. The
Lehigh company is disposing of it for them
at S1.2o per ton.
