Murder as Religious Ceremony.

Berlin, April 20.-The local authorities
at Konitz, Prussia, have summoned 200
reservists to preserve the peace of the
district, which is threatened by a sus-
picion that the death of a boy named
Winter, who was murdered just before
Easter, is attributable to the Jews of the
district. In popular superstition at
Konitz the Jews are suspected of ritual
murders; and there are some circum-
stances tending to explain the death of
the boy in this way. Various small riots
have occurred and the authorities have
ordered all saloons closed at SHUTDOWN.

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is q matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of Its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience.
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec.
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
