INSANE MANS DEED.
Preacher at Copper Falls, Mich, Muir
ders Wife and Two Children
Then Kills Himself

Houghton, Mich, Dee. 11.-Rev.
John Kinnunen, minister of the
Finnish Evangelical Lutheran church
at Copper Falls, Keweenaw county,
murdered his wife and two children
and committed suicide Monday night.
Kinnunen was 40 years old and was
universally respected. One son, a deaf
mute, was recently sent to the state
school for the deaf at Flint, Mich,
and was killed on his arrival there by
a passing train. Kinnunen brooded
over his sons death, and Monday
night became violently insane. He
first cut his wife's throat with a
butcher knife and then murdered his
two younger sons with the same
weapon. The oldest boy, aged IS, es-
capped, screaming with fear, and when
the neighbors reached the house all
four were found with Threats cut and
dead. After killing his wife and two
sons Kinnunen had fired the house
and cut his own throat. The flames
were easily eXtinguished.

VERDICT Is NOT GUILTY.
MIS-. Bonnie Acquitted OF Charge of

Washington. -

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE jury in
the case of Mrs. Lola Ida Henry BONNIE,
charged with the murder of James Sey-
tel in this city on the night of May 10,
returned verdict Friday evening OF
not guilty, and the defendant was set
at liberty. Such conclusion Of the
trial was generally expected, the ropu-
Lar impression here being that :rom
the evidence submitted the prosecu-
ton had failed to prove its case against
Mrs. Bonnie. The jury was out less
than five hours, retiring few minutes
after four o'clock in the afternoon and
reporting shortly before nine o'clock
in the evening.
The trial of Mrs. Bonine had been in
progress for almost four weeks, and
attracted more attention than any
trial before the local courts in years
Extraordinary interest was caused at
the time young Ayres was killed, be-
cause of the mystery surrounding the
case, until the statement made by Mrs
Bonine of her part in the tragedy
while the coroner's inquest was in ses-
sion. She said she was the only person
in the room when young Ayres was shot,
and that he was killed in a struggle

brighten her into compliance with his
demands. Mrs. BONNIE had been in Jail

The city authorities of Dover, Eng

parliament to scrape the staring adj
vertisements off the famous chalk
cliffs of that coast.
France is proud of the increase in
her populations. The census figures
for this year are 3s,641 1888, an increase
in five years of 412,364. The increase
in the preceding fve-year period was
only 1889.
Silk hats continue to be very fash
ionable in England. Of course, the
greatest wear is in London, but
throughout Great Britain there is ex-
pended each year over 100000 on
this style of headgear.
Ireland continues to far outdistance
all other European countries in crime
lessness. Official statistics for the
last year just published show de-
crease of 1912 per cent. in minor of
enses, as compared with the preceding
year.
1t is interesting to find that there are

Nearly half century ago the ex-
pertinent of putting horse meat on the
market was made for the first time
in Austria. A government decree of
April 20, 1854, gave legal permission
to cut up and sell horse meat as an
article of food. During the rest of
that year and in 1855, 943 horses were
slaughtered for food in Vienna; the
number rose in 1S99-the last year for
which statistics are obtainable-to2 5,-

has led to the needless sacrifice of
many lives. "Such climbing" he de-
clared, ''is no longer touristik; it is
acrobatic, it is suicide He called
upon the members to discountenance
it, and was warmly applauded.

''No route is permitted to be more

that the strain is such that it would be
physically impossible to keep the pace
on a longer route without breaking

is practically impossible for the teams
to traverse the roads. For example,
last May and June the roads were we'll

THEY PUZZLE THE MEDICS.
Some New Diseases That Physicians
Can Neither Diagnose Nor
Cure.

When Solomon declared that there
is nothing new under the sun the
art of the physician was yet in it's
infancy. All practitioners of the
present day bear testimony to the
fact that new diseases of the human
system are constantly developing and
of necessity they require new modes
of treatment, says a London paper.
One disease which the doctors are
trying to find out about, with very
little success, is beri-beri, which
seems to be identical with the ''sleep-
ing sickness" of the west coast Of
Africa. The attention which the
medical profession has paid recent
ly to eastern and tropical diseases
has brought beri-beri to the fore,
whereas little scientific attention
used to be paid to it. Negroes are
peculiarly susceptible to the disease,
and on the west coast of Africa
whole villages of natives have been
known to lie down and sleep them
selves to death. Some time ago there
was an outbreak of this disease in
lunatic asylum in Dublin, and several
patients slept to death. How this
malady, supposed to be peculiar to
the tropics and the far east, came
to appear in Dublin is mystery.
Recently the Norwegian bark Taurus
put into Falmouth, England, having
had seven cases and four deaths from
beri-beri on her way from Jackson
to appear in Dublin is a mystery.
for the disease is unknown in Florida.
English and American soldiers serv-
ing in the far east rarely suffer from
beri-beri, but French and Spanish
garrisons are greatly subject to it.
A couple of years ago out of gar
rison of $50 at a post in French
Tonquin so died from beri-beri.
AS if the doctors were not both
cred enough with the old diseases, a
new one has appeared in Sardinia
and Sicily. The doctors in these
Mediterranean islands recently no.
ticed that many of. the peasants
showed symptoms of poisoning from
eating beans. They developed Curl
Gus symptoms and all of them were
overcome with a drowsy stupor. In
some cases those predisposed to the
disease have been seen to fall uncon-
scious simply from inhaling the scent
of bean field in flower. Yet to the
average person there is. nothing poi
sonous about beans. Horrible
thought! Suppose this new disease
should spread to Boston.
Another disease which puzzles doc
tors is that form of idiocy known as
cretinism. Why does it exist only
in certain districts? 1t has been said
that it is epidemic only in limestone
regions, yet there are plenty of
places where the rock is of this char
acter and yet the disease is unknown.
For instance, it is very rare in Eng
land, where there is plenty of mag
nesium limestone, and prevalent in
similar districts in France. It gen.
orally is put down as being peculiar
to mountain districts, yet on the is
land of Niederwerth, below Coblentz
| on the Rhine, there are 131 cases
among $50 people.

WEALTH FOR EX-CONVICT.
Anderson Gray, After Somewhat Tenn
pestuous Career, Regains Valuable
Land In Kansas.

Wellington, Kan., Oct. 23.-Ander-
son Gray, the alleged accessory in
what was known as the hypnotic muir
der case in Sumner county, seven
years ago, has won a suit that re-
stores him 900 acres of improved land
near Conway Springs, land that is now
worth $4,000. While Gray was in the
penitentiary serving life sentence
for the exercise of his alleged hypnot-
ic influence to induce Tom Mcdonald
to kill Tom Patten, the Equitable Sc
curity company of Kansas City fore
closed mortgage on the land for
$4,000 without giving Gray notice OF
its action. Before Gov. Morrill, went
out of Office in 1897, he pardoned Gray,
thus restoring him to his legal rights
He sued for possession of the land and
$4,000 damages. The court restored
him the land and gave him $1,000 dam
ages, being an estimate of the rental
value of the land, since the suit was
commenced.
