Twenty. First Child Born to a Texas
Legislator.

Austin, Tex, March 11.-Repre-
sentative j. c. Roberts OF Ruanah
received news to. day that bis wife
had presented him with his twenty
first child, fine boy.
Roberts is 81 year old and has
been married twice. His first mar
riage took place when he was barely Of
age. His wife was only 16when they
began life together. They had eleven
children and the second vile has
borne him ten more.
The house this morning passed q
resolution asking Roberts to name
his last heir after Governor Lanham,
but he told the Legislators that the
matter would have to be referred to
his wife for final action.
A striking point in Roberts, home
life is that the children OF his first
wife are as fond of their stepmother
as her own children; while she dis
PLAYS the same maternal interest in
their welfare that she bestows upon
her own offspring.
There are three sets of twins in the
family, but of the six four are dead,
having been born in their fathers
absence, afterwards dying before his
return.
Roberts is intensely proud OF his
large family, which is one of the most
numerous in Texas.

INSANE FARMER
KILLS HIS FAMILY.
After Numbering Wife and Six
Children Attempts Suicide.

st. Louis, March 12.-Adolph
krauss, a German farmer, living II
miles west OF st. Louis, near Bellefon-
taine, tonight killed his wife and six
children with u sledge hammer and
at midnight was dying.
1t is believed Krauss suddenly be-
came insane. He had the reputation
among his neighbors of being quiet
inoffensive, industrious farmer, and
no other cause but insanity has been
assigned.
About Z O'Clock tonight John
krauss, his brother, happened to go
to Adolph's house to make a short
call, The lights were out but the
door was unlocked and this aroused
his suspicious that something was
wrong. He entered the house and,
upon striking light, was Mortified
to fluid that there had been a terrible
tragedy
From all that can be learned
Adolph Krauss entered the house
some time this afternoon armed with
a sledge hammer, and, without warn
ing, struck his wife on the head, kill
ing her instantly. Then, seizing his
first child, aged II, he likewise dealt
murderous blow. The other five
were killed similarly, the last being
the six months old baby. Krauss
then placed the bodies side by side
on the floor in one room. He then
seized the hammer and dealt himself
a blow on the skull, which fractured
it and knocked him unconscious, his
body falling almost in line with those
OF his victims. When John krauss
had discovered the tragedy tonight
he Immediately summoned the au-
thorities. The bodies were taken in
charge by an undertaken, but the
coroner decided not to move krauss
who apparently would be dead by
morning.
Bellfontaine is a village in st. Lou
is county, q mile directly west OF st.
Louis. Owing to it's isolation further
and more complete particulars are
not obtainable tonight.

DRY" TICKET WINS IN TOPEKA.
Women Scored for Temperance in the
City's Primaries.

Topeka, March 3-The indica-
tions are that the candidate for
mayor, W. A. Bergundthal, and all
the candidates on the dry" ticket
have been nominated by the Repub-
licans at the primaries for the city
election.
While returns are not complete
from any precinct it is generally be-
lieved that the dry" ticket has been
nominated by msiorities ranging
from l, 900 to 1900.
The day was one OF the finest OF
the spring and an unusually large
number OF women went to the polls.
1t is the vote OF the women that Mr..
Bergundthal and thy "dry" faction
depended upon for success. The vote
of the women was counted first in
all the precincts and it gave the
"dry" big majority at the begin
ming OF the count. The vote of the
men is slowly overcoming this ma
jority, but the vote has been large
and it is probable that the result will
not be known until tomorrow.

Not all men are bad; not all wo-

The greatest passion in the world
is vanity; the most powerful weapon
flattery.
There is no age at which a woman's
heart will not melt to the man who
smiles upon her.
Beware OF the man who approaches
you with the promise that he has
come to do you favor.
1t is little things that tell. A man
who is facing bankruptcy and dis
honor with a courageous smile will
fly into Mysteries when he he can't
get his collar buttoned.
There will be some way OF under

have her blood run cold at the
thought OF her son being like him.

1t seems to US that Superinten-
dent Cooper should get through his
nut the sentiment OF this community
in regard to labor on public works.
Responding to general and united
expression the Legislature passed
resolution distinctly prescribing that
only citizen labor be employed on
public works. If Representative
W j Wright is correct in the state
ment published elsewhere that Japa-
nese and Chinese are being employ
ed on the Kaimuki road, and that
citizen labor has been denied en-
ployment there, the Superintendent
OF Public Works deserves the most
pronounced censure and conde M
nation. The contractors for the
roads are not materially to blame.
Their business is to make money,
and dollar saved on wages is a
dollar gained. The plain duty OF
Mr. Cooper was to prescribe that
the contract DO carried out with
citizen labor. La failing to carry
out the wishes Of the people and
instructions OF the Legislature, the
Superintendent of Public Works
has committed flagrant error and
his act should be severely impescbed.
