An attempt was made Thursday To poi
son the entire family Of George Bringer,
Il farmer living about seven miles east

worked for Bringer, and had recently
been discharged. was arrested late yes
terday afternoon charged with the crime.
In court this morning he pleaded not
guilty, and his examination was set for
next Thursday. Bail was fixed at $4,000.

explained this by saying he could tell for

LIVED AT LA CROSSE.
The Principals in a Sensatio on al
and Unusual Eiopement at
Seattle. WaGh.

La Crosse, Wis, June f6.--fSpe-
cial. THE Seattle (Wash.) dispatches
have had much to say of late concerning
rather sensational and unusual elope-
ment in which Sherman Enos, eldest son
Of c. n. Enos. for many years prac-
ticing attorney in this city, and Miss
Frances Barlow, a society belle OF Seat
tie, who also has relatives in this city
were the principals. The young lady i'll
her fight donned male apparel.
When the war with Spain broke out
while the family was vet living in La
Crosse, young EnOS ran away from home
and enlisted in Il United States cavalry
regiment, though he was but II years
of age. He was accepted on account OF
his size and appearance, which was that
OF aslnan of something over 20. He was
intercepted at Sau Francisco. The
young man was still determined to fight
for his country in the Philippines. but his
father would not relent and he was ac-
cordingly discharged.
About this time the Enos family moved
to Seattle. Three years in the great
seaport rounded out young Enos early
manhood. He prOSpered i'll business and
finally met and wooed and won the love
of Miss Barlow. But his suit was not
encouraged by the young lady's father
and, because Of it, there gradually wild
ened Il breach between the parent and
daughter, a condition which finally
terminated in the young lady leaving
hame to earn her own living
The intimacy between young Enos and
his fancee continued uninterruDtcd by
her family Discussions and at last the
climax was finally reached when last
Saturday the couple eloped. the girl attired
in mans clothing They rode out OF Seat

The Axe with Which Charles I. was

The vexed question, so much in evil
dence in the papers recently, where is
the present location of the axe with which
King Charles | was beheaded?" has Fl
nally been answered. The famous relic
now rcposes in the Museo Borbonico. at
Naples, Italy. One who has rummaged
much among the archives of the British
museum furnishes these particulars re-
garding it: The eXecutioner of Charles
(Giles Dekker) survived the monarch
thirty-siX years, dying in 1855. His claim
to the axe, which he appears to have re-
garded as his perquisite, was, after con
siderable discussion, granted by Parlia-
ment, and it remained his until his death.
He always refused to make an exhibition
Of the instrument, but his son, however,
devoid of such scruples, placed it Oh show

In the kindergarten a child is taught
much through system which is used to
make him think that he is playing rather
than working, but those imaginary de-
vices take away the manliness of boy
who knows that work is work We must
not teach the boy that his teacher exists
simply for his amusement. There is a
great tendency to bring up children

Marshfeld, Wis, June 16.-The people
Of this city will watch with considerable
interest the movement which started
this week by several of the Northwest

from Princeton to Marshhed. Its CON

made the division point, and even if not
would be on the main line between Chi

the evident intention Of the officials to
make this Il through air line between
these cities. 1t is also almost Il certainty
that the short branch between this city
and Mcmillan will soon be transferred
from the Omaha to the North Western.
The general opinion here is that the con-
struction of this road will mean the pur-

and NekOosa. and perhaps the building OF
