The Evening Lamp.

Many housekeepers think that to
turn down lamp saves OIL In point Of
fact, it does nothing IT the kind. The
same amount of OIL is consumed, only
that which is not burned in a fame
passes of as gas. You can notice this
at once on entering a room where a
lamp has been turned low for any
length OF time. Besides the disagreed.
Bile odor the gas is most injurious to
flowers or plants that may be near It.
II little light be required, small lamp
with small wick should be kept
turned up to its proper height.

ONE MAN KILLED.
A Bloody Affair at Wedding Near
WaSeCa.

Waseca, June 20.-Philip Bishman
was killed and Mike Mulcahey
severely injured in a row at wedding
feast in the village of Wilton, near
here, early yesterday morning. E. P.
Bahr and Fred Kuyarh are in Jail and
other arrests will follow.
The festivities were being held at
the home of Kuyarh's father, and it
seems that Bishman and Mulcahev had
taken keg of beer and gone to the
feast unlimited. There are various
stories of how the affair started, but
Mulcahey says that after the row COM
menced he went out OF the house and
got into the buggy. Three or four
persons approa ,hed him and he was
struck on the head by stone. The
fact that he had on a stiff hat proba-
bly, saved his life. Mulcahey was then
seized, one of his captors saying
"We'n fix you the same way we did
YOUR partner but he managed to
escape to the house of neighboring
farmer, who brought him to town this
morning.
Officers at once went to the scene.
Evidences of desperate struggle
we're found in the yard; broken bot
ties, bloody clubs and stones, and the
course of the fight could be traced out
through a gate, down the road and to
the barn, where the body of Bishman
was found lying between two man
gers, the head crushed to a pulp and
the clothing torn and bloody.
A post -mortem examination is being
held this afternoon and the Inquest
will take place tomorrow.

TANKE CONVICTED
The Jury Finds Him Guilty of
Murder.
Mrs. Tanke's Trial on The Charge of
Being an Accessory Will Com
menCe Tomorrow.

Henderson, Mimi, June 90. The
jury in the Taake trial Saturday rem
dered a verdict finding the accused
guilty of the murder of Wellner, his
wife's former husband. The crime un-
der the indictment is of the first de-
gree.
Fl. J. Peck, attorney for the defend
ant, in an eloquent and forceful man
ner, Saturday morning reviewed the
evidence. He closely occupied the at
tention of the jury for nearly two
hours, and dwelt upon the necessity of
carefully examining the circumstan-
tial evidence. The court then charged
the jury, instructing them that cir
cumstantial evidence was often better
than direct or positive evidence.
The jury retired at II 10. 1t was
expected by most PEOPLE in attendance
at the trial that disagreement
would be the outcome, and much sur
prise was expressed at the final result.
The jury made report at 80, and
at 5 :36 flied into the court room. The
clerk called the roll, and Matt Lang,
foreman, answered that the jury had
reached an agreement. The clerk then
read the verdict which wae, as charg-
ed in the indictme ent of the grand jury
of Nicollet county, guilty of murder
in the first degree. Judge Caldwell,
prior to the reading of the verdict.
cautioned all to make no demonstra-
tion, under penalty of being brought
before the court and punished.
Tanke heard the reading of the ver-
dict and he was cool throughout,
showing no signs of emotion what
ever The court then thanked the jury
for their patience and attention dur
ing the long trial and discharged
them. Joseph A. Eckstein, one of the
attorneys for the defense, then made a
motion for a new trial. The court
stated that nothing further would be
done today that the court would ad-
iourn until Tuesday morning, at
which time further proceedings would
! be heard.
As near as could be learned the jury
stood seven for conviction and five
for acquittal when the first ballot was
taken, and the second ballot resulted
nine to three for conviction
The jury was out only little over
FIVE hours. The trial of Mrs. Tanke,
the other defendant, will commence
Immediately after this case has been
disposed of Tuesday.

NO BOND YET.
Another Alleged Financial Transaction
of Robinson.

D. G.. Robinson has not furnished
bail bond His attorney said Friday
afternoon that he had been too busy in
court to give the matter attention,
and none of Robinson's frieLds have
taken the matter upon themselves of
attempting to procure bond.
It is known that Robinson's debts in
the city foot up to over 1,sOO, and a
gentleman who has given the matter
some investigation said today that
he thought that they would reach
nearly So, 900 if the returns were all
in.
Last March Robinson secured $50
on a $39 check late one Saturday night
at clothing store in this city. This
check purported to have been given by
well known gentleman OF this city,
but when the matter was explained to
him he said that the signature was
not as he signs his name and was
drawn on a bank where he had never
had an account The following Mon
day morning, Robinson called at the
store before banking hours, asked to
| have the check back, as there was a
mistake in the amount, he said, and
gave his own check for $50 in the
place of it, The check has never been
seen since, 80 far as known. The
gentleman whose name is said to have
been attached to the check afterwards
demanded on explanation from Robin
son. The latter denied that he hai
left such check at the store, bu
when asked to go to the store with th'
gentleman declined to do So He sait
that he would return to the gentle
mans office in the afternoon with tn
check that he had used, to show tina
he was right. He never returned t
the office

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board Of Health Find It Con,
tains Alum and Rock, Declare It Dan
gerous to Health and Dump It
Into the River


The New York papers report tina, the
Health Department ofthat city has sci7ed
as dangerous to health nearly two tons
OF cheap mixtures sold for baking powder,
and dumped them into the offal scow to
be destroyed. More OF the powder wa,
found in a Sixth avenue department
store. The report Of the analysis of the
Health Department stated that it was
ian alum baking powder" containing
alum and pulverized rock.
The different Health authorities seem
to have different ways of repressing the
sale OF bad baking powders. In Eng
land they have prosecuted the grocers
under the general law and broken up the
traffic. In Missouri the sale of alum
baking powder is actually pro.
hlbited by law. In New York they seize
the unwholesome stuff and cast it into
the river. without any discussion. The
latter way is certainly effective.
The alum baking powders are usually
offered at low price, 10 or 20 cents a
pound, or with some prize, as a tempta-
tion to the housewife.
Consumers can protect themselves by
buying only high-grade baking powder
of established name and reputation. Do
not be tempted by the grocer to take
something else as "just as good" or "our
own brand" for the trials show that the
grocer himself is often deceived by un.
scrupulous makers and is selling an alum
powder without knowing 1t.
There: are several good powders on
the market; let the housekeeper insist on
having what she knows is right, and not
be induced to risk the life of the family
for an imaginary saving of a few cents,
