A Double Murder.

The night that Gustave Krueger
was deposited in the Iowa river after
his brutal murder, a pair of twins,
probably murdered, consigned to the
grave at Kendallvllle. They are al
legged to been given birth by a Miss
Drsas, living a few blocks south of
Jackson's corner, in Cresco. Both
passed away from the effects of con-
vulsions, supposed to have been pro-
duced by strychnine poisoning, after
which they were taken to Kendall
Vile and buried in the night. Their
bodies have been taken up and their
stomachs removed and will be chemi-
cally analyzsd. Tom Robinson, their
alleged father, is In Jail and his case
will probably go before the grand jury
next week, as be is suspected Of the
crime of putting them out OF the
world.
Since the above was In type an ana
lysis of the contents of their stomachs
have been made and distinct traces OF
stryehnine found. It has also been
found that Robinson purchased
,strychnine at the Brooks drug store.

man named Harry Nihil was badly
injured while at work switching at
Lime Springs, between8 and I O'Clock.

Be Careful What You Say,

In speaking of a PERSONS faults,
Fray, don't forget your own;
Remember, those with houses OF glass,
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk OF those who Sin,
It's better we commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man,
Until hes fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know this world Is wide.
Some have their faults-and who has not.
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may. for all we know,
Have fifty TO to their one.
I'll tell you of q better plan.
And find 1t works full we'll,
To try myown defects to cure,
Before Of others tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of Others go.
Then let lis all, when we commence
To slander friend of foe
Think Of the harm one word NAV do.
To those who little know.
Remember curses, sometimes like
Our chickens, "roost at home,"
Don't Speak of others faults until
We have none Of our own,
Cut this out, take it, with 10 cents,
o the o. K. barber shop and see
What you get.

1858 was a wet season, 1868 another
and now comes 1903, which promises
to be record breaker. The entire
west, the bread.basket of the world is
drenched in floods almost unfathom
able. 1858 is the year the grading was
being done on the railroad west from
Cresco. Geo. Fl. Kellogg of Crescc
was one of the lads working on the
grade at Chester, but he didn't get bis
start in business at that kind of work,
At the end of two months he found
himself 10 debt for board and feed fol
his team S35. At that time the coun-
ty was unable to feed its people from
It's own produce. The feed for man
and beast was shipped in from Wis
consin by rail to Cresco. George tells
us that they used to come here from
Chester for supplies, with three teams
lodging about to shun the water
soaked places, ten bushels of corn
!, making a load for a team, with that
they were often stalled in slough
and with lorg chains or a rope the
team and its load by the aid of a team
outside of the slough was pulled
ashore. The recollection of these con.
ditions ought to make people pretty
we'll satisfied with the present, for
beside there being a plenty to eat
Notwithstanding partial failure in
1902 there are several months of
promise ahead for 1903.
There 'sa new lawyer in town-came
yesterday, and we understand has en-
tered Immediately into the practice
of his profession, He's little fellow
yet, but gives promise of some time
being big and handsome like his dad.
He has engaged board and lodging at
the home of b. N. Hendricks for a
period of 81 years. Mother and baby
are doing nicely and Bert just touches

1...... There have been no more cases
of smallpox break out and there is
scarcely any likihood of there being
any. No one has been dangerously
sick from it aud the worst feature CT
1t has been the necessity of remaining
in quarantine Our officers have been
dilligent and Thorough in their efforts
to suppress the disease, and there have
only been four or five cases all told.
These few have been magnified by peo-
pie outside, however, to hundreds,
and the most ridiculous exaggerations
have travelled about the country. Peo-
pie here at home have had no fears
In fact, have thought little of 1T, and
now that 1t is practically over with,
we trust outsiders will gradually re
cover from their scare. We have it
from good authority that other towns.
around here have been having much
more OF it than Rtceyille has, but they
didn't call it smallpox and SO people
thought nothing Of 1t. There is no
more danger of getting smallpox from
coming to Rioeyille ard doing business
now than there is in any town in the
country. Its all right to be careful,
but there is no sense in getting fright
ened when there is no occasion for it.

better is il to put your srare earnings

can be no doubt. Beware of anything
that smacks of gambling. Have you
provided for the time when your fam
lily can no longer look to you for sup
port? At your death will poverty
stare your wife and children in the
face? Have you provided for your own
old age? Before risking your money
on gambling schemes, remember:
