beach for a swim. He takes long
rides in the valleys and across the
highlands of the Basque country with
out an escort. but he is always in
uniform and is accompanied by two
aids-de-camp and two palace servants.
He takes great pleasure in returning
the salutes of the peasantry At mid
day the king attends to state business
with the minister for foreign affairs.
Before lunch he gives audiences and
generally rides again In the afternoon,
or drives his own four-in-hand with
Queen Christina and his sisters sit
ting behind him. He takes an inter
est in yachting. in the rowing boat
races in the bay and in pigeon-shoot-
ing. He is already a good shot and
keen sportsman. The Basques are
pleased to see him interested in their
national ball game, styled ''juego de
pelota."

BLOODY KRAUSE TRAGEDY,
Verdict of the COrOner's Jury in tho
Case that Has Shocked st.
Louis County, Mo.

st. Louis, March 1.-THE coroner's
inquest into the terrible tragedy that
resulted in the determination of the
krause family, of eight persons, re-
suited in verdict that all came to
their deaths at the hands of August
Krause, whose suicide was legally re-
corded.
Coroner Koch took possession of
the razor and hammer used in COM
mitting the bloody deed and carried
them to his office at Des Peres.
An examination of the bodies indi-
Gated that Mrs. Krause made a strug-
gle for her life. Upon her head were
found six gashes, while the fingers
on the right hand were gashed and
the fingers of both hands broken and
bruised. The head of Carrie, the old
est girl, aged 12, was crushed on the
left side, supplemented by Il cash six
inches long. Her head was almost
severed from her body. Emma, aged
nine was struck on the left side of
the forehead, and her throat was cut.
The top of Georges head, who was
four years old, was mashed and his
throat cut slantwise Fred's head
was terribly bruised ana the Skull
crushed on the forehead. Phillip,
aged seven, was badly mutilated
about the head and his throat cut.
The throats of Fred, the five
months-old babe, and Genevieve, aged
three, were not cut. They were his
favorite children, being the youngest.
A peculiar fact about the cutting
of the throats of his children was
that the cut in each instance was on
the left side of the neck and about
six inches long. This caused the be-
lief that Krause cut their throats
with deliberation, after having
Drained them with the rock hammer.
Usually Krause was loving father
and devoted husband, and this devo-
tion was noticed and commented up
on by many of the residents of that
section.
In his dealings with strangers, the
murderer and suicide was sometimes
quarrelsome. He had engaged in fist
fights with a great number of his ac-
quaintances, possessing a fiery and
uncomfortable temper.
But it was not believed by any one
that this temper, so unruly among
strangers, was exhibited in his own
home.

For GraveIed Roads.

The people of Madison county
showed last week that they were
unanimously in favor of graveled
roads. Hon. A. NJ. Alexander,
chairman of the county court, called
a mass meeting to consider the ques-
ton of graveled roads and the in
dorsement of Senator Caruthers'
bill giving the county the right to
issue 100000 in bonds for this
purpose. Notwithstanding the al
most impossible condition of the
country roads at present, the farm
ers came in from every section Of the
county to show their interest in the
matter. The bill as amended will
provide for the issuance Of $150,000
in bonds to be used within the next
two years in grayeling all the roads
and all the lateral roads in every di-
rettion for five miles out from Jack
son. The remainder of the bonds
Will be issued later on, as the county
may require it. The county court is
favorable, and Madison county will
have grayeled roads before the year

Farm Work Hindered.

The recent heavy rains have i'm
peded farming in Eauderdale coun-
ty, and as yet practically no work
has been accomplished. The recent
rise in price Of cotton will no doubt
encourage at least the average acre
age in cotton and probably will cause
an excess of last years crop. In the
.river districts, which are now under
water, farming will be hindered
very much, though best authority is
to the effect that the water will re-
cede in time to make the usual pro-
