MURDER
John KrauSe Instantly
Struck Dead
----
Arabian Nights Plan TO Hide
the Crime.
HyStericaI Wife Gave the
Scheme Away.

| TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 90 John Krause
who kept little cigar store on Lincoln
Avenue, was murdered last night in his
apartments in the rear Of the store.
The police are looking for Frank Will
Jams, who, according to the statements
of Mrs. Williams, committed the crime.
Williams was an employe of Krause,
and accompanied by his wife went to
Krause's place to collect some back
wages due him. Krause was unable to
pay the money and the men quarreled.
Williams in a fit of anger, Mrs Williams
says, picked up a stick and struck
Krause, fracturing his skull and killing
him instantly. Krause lived alone.
After the murder Krause's body was
tied up in bundle by bending his legs
aud then Williams, taking his wife with
him went TO livery stabe to hire
wagon ostensibly for carting the body
away.
Mrs. Williams remained outside the
livery stable office and as a man ap-
preached became hysterlcal and asked |
him to save her. She said she was
afraid some man who was in the livery
stable was going to kill her. She was
directed to 60 to saloon nearby to get
out Of the way. This she did and to the
saloonkeeper, Anton Jalger, she told of
the killing Of Krause by her husband.
The husband came into the saloon short.
y afterwards looking for her and asked
ler to go with him. She began crying
md refused. The husband then kissed
Ter and ran out.
Krause's body is now in the morgue
Every effort is being made to capture
Williams.

More About
BeniCia Rotary
Disc PlOW.

Mr.. John Connoy, who lives on the
Southwick place, six miles across the
river, la Polk county, was in 10 look at
the two disc pillow some weeks since, and
while he wae very favorable impressed,
he did not feel that he could take one
this fall. However, the more re thought
OF that 100 acres of laud to pillow, walk-
ing about miles 10 the acre--the more
he was convinced that he ought 20 get a
gang plow and save time and man hire
lie came in last Wednesday and said he
would take two disc, ii il would work
on his farm, which most OF the farmers
know as the Polk county hills. That's
as good thing as We want, for we have
yet the first place TO find where the plOw
has failed to give the utmost satisfaction.
lie put the pillow to work last Saturday
atternoon-immediately after the Fiji
day soaking, and the heavy rain of that
morning, and was more than pleased
with every feature of the work done. He
purchased the plow and is using il every
day with three horses, turning perfectly
% inches OF soil leaving the land in
the best OF condition for seeding-no
hard pan in fuTrow bottoms-no Jumps
or ridges to level with the harrow. He
was using the same horses on l6 inch
walking plow, and says that he finds
that they handle the two disc easier
than any other. The soil has some rocks
ON it, and roots as we'll, some as large as
two inches in diameter The former
the pillow simply bounds over or thrusts
aside, and the roots il cuts off without
an effort. We have already used the
plow in theled hills south of Salem, Per
Iectly dry, 80 we know that the soil is
never too wet or too dry is have any ter
ror for II. The discs scour perfectly and
the serapers, or moldboards, as some
call them, turn the soil beautifully.
The angle OF the discs and the shape
and adjustments OF the serapers are
patented features, aud therein lies the
secret, the lack of which has caused the
failure of 30 mang disc plows. The
weight OF the Benicia two disc is 675
pounds, which is over 200 pounds less
than others OF tie same sort. Notwith-
standing this, ii STAYS In THE
GROUND whore others have failed To
do so, simply because il is set right.
Another thing-addition discs can be
had at any time making q two out of
tne, or three either, at will. There
are dozens OF farmers today looking fav-
orably at the disc question who, six
weeks since were so prejudiced that
they would not consider them for mo
ment, owing to precOneeiVed notions due
to other failures. The BENICIA DISC
has wrought the change, on merit alone,
aud it's making friends every day,

A FlENDlSH DEED.
Unknown Persons Pour Melted Lead
Into a Farmers Ears.

AhtO u dI IuOT CdIS'
FRANKLIN, Tenn, April %. - I'm
known parties entered the home of Will
liam Clark, on Little Turnbul Creek,
and after choroforming him and his
family, melted and poured lead into his
ears. The pain aroused him from his
stupor. There is no clue to the per-
petrators of the horrible deed
Mr.. Clark says he knew nothing of
the terrible ordeal that he had under.
gone until he found himself out in the
yard about o'clock in the morning and
found that melted lead had been poured
in his ear as if it was a bullet mold.
On returning to the house he found a
brisk fire kindled in the fire place,
which he cannot account for. Two of
his children were also sleeping soundly
in the same room and had not been dis
turbed. He went to Nashville to have
the lead extracted from his ear, but the
physician there could not dislodge it.
His ear looks as if it would drop off
Mr.. Clark cannot give any reason for
being tortured this way. He is highly
respected farmer of his neighborhoOd
and says that he did not think that he
had any enemies.
