KILLS ENTIRE FAMILY
MISSOURI FARMER MURDERS
WIFE AND SIX CHILDREN.
With a sIedge Hammer He Crushed
the Skulls Of His Victims and Then
Fatally Injured Himself.

Adolph Krauss, German farmer
living twenty-one miles west OF st.
Louis, near Bellefontaine, Mo-, killed
his wife and six children with a sledge
hammer. He then knocked himself
unconscious with the hammer, and will
die. 1t Is believed that Krauss sud.
denly became insane. He had the rep
utation among his neighbors of be-
ing quiet, inoffensive, industrious
farmer, and no other cause for the
crime but insanity has been assigned.
About 7 o'clock John Krauss, a
brother, happened to go to Adolph's
house to call. The lights were out,
but the door was unlocked, and this
aroused the suspicion that something
was wrong. He entered the house and,
upon striking a light, was Mortified to
find that there had been terrible
tragedy. From all that can be learned,
Adolph Krauss entered the house some
time in the afternoon, armed with
sledge hammer. Without warning he
struck his wife on the head, killing ner
instantly. Then. selling his first child,
aged ~, he likewise dealt murderous
blow. The other five children were
killed similarly, the last being g.

the seven babies side by side on the

SLAIN BY YAoui INDIANS.
Stage Held Up and Six Passengers
BrutalIy Murdered.

News comes from Tucson, Arizona,
that Yaqui Indians held up the stage
which runs between Potam and TORN
on the Yaqui river in Sonora on last
Tuesday night, killing all of the six
passengers. Among them was Filiber-
to Alverado, wealthy Mexican, who
owns number of ranches along the
Yaqui river.
The hold-up took place about half
way between the two towns, but Just
how the stage was attacked will never
be known, as all of the passengers and
the driver were killed. They were
picked up the same afternoon of the
tragedy. and the circumstances give
evidence that they put up fight, else
they would not have all been killed.
Their bodies we're rihed of everything
of value on them. The traces had been
cut and the horses had been allowed to
run wild. The cover of the stage and
the body were both shot full of holes
Alverado had been married only two
months. With him were Senorita Julia

BABIES FED TO BEARS.
Austrian Gypsies Steal Little Ones to
Keep up Menagerie.

Dispatches from Malaczka, near the
Austrian frontier, report the sacrifice
of seven or more human lives to keep
up a gypsy tribes menagerie. Two
woodcutters, noticing that gypsy
tribe with eight dancing bears entered
the forest where they worked, fed for
safety. One climbed into the branches
of a tree and concealed himself, but
the other was caught by the gypsles,
who Immediately removed the bears
muzzles and allowed them to tear the
man to pieces.
When the body was devoured the
brutes were muzzled anew and the
gypsies made them do dance. in
which the bears engaged with appar-
ent gusto. Then the party took to the
road again, and the wood cutter slid
from the tree and ran to the nearest
village, where he gave the alarm. A
detachment of horse gen-d'armes hap
pening to be stopping at the Inn, took
up the pursuit and caught the gypsies
within an hour While the men were
held one Of the bears was shot and
portions of human flesh, bone and hair
were found in his stomach. The gen.
darmes then killed the other seven
bears and made the same horrifylng
discovery. Thereupon several Of the
gypsies were taken back over the
route they had travelled and 1t was
found that six children were missing
in as many Hungarian villages through
which they had passed. One OF the
gypsies has confessed that the band
had been in the habit of stealing chill
dren to feed the bears.

THE STORY IN FIGURES.
Bulletin Of Geographical Distribution
of Population In United States.

The census bureau has issued bull
letin of the geographical distribution
of the population of the United States
1t shows that almost &C per cent of
the total population lives in the coun-
try drained by the Atlantic ocean;
over SO per cent in that drained by the
Gulf of Mexico; A per cent in the
drainage area of the Mississippi river;
almost per cent in the area drained
by the great lakes; per cent on the
Pacific coast, half of one per cent in
the great basin.
The proportion living within the re.
gion drained by the Atlantic ocean is
steadily diminishing. while that part
drained by the Gulf of Mexico Is be-
coming relatively more populous, as is
the case in a still more marked degree
in the great basin and Pacific ocean
region.
OF the foreign-born, SO per cent live
in the region drained to the Atlantic
ocean, 1854 per cent in the region
drained to the Gulf of Mexico, and Is
per cent in that drained to the great
lakes. The proportion in the region
drained to the Pacific ocean is 6.1 per
cent
Out of every 1000 negroes 99S are
found in the regions drained to the At
lantic ocean, and 61.4 per cent are in
the lands drained to the Gulf of Mex
leo, the proportion in the west and
on the Pacific coast being trifing.

SLEEPER SWALLOWED BEETLE.
Indiana Farmer Coughs Up Dead In
sect Which Had Lodged In Bron-
chial Tube.

o. A. Stokes, a farmer, north of Mum
Gle, Ind, in paroxyism Of coughing,
coughed UP live hard-shelled beetle.
The insect died soon after being ex-
pose to the air. Stokes suffered for
weeks, and physicians told him he
was afflicted with bronchial trouble.
Treatment for the disease afforded no
relief, but the appearance of the bug
solved the difficulty. The beetle had
lodged in one of the bronchial tubes.
1t had evidently been there for some
time, as the shell was much softer
than that of the ordinary hard-shelled
beetle. Stokes wife says he sleeps
with his mouth open, and it is sup
posed that the beetle crawled in while
he was asleep.

the starting point. The wind was blow
ing very light as the signal gun was
fred. The Aurora crossed the line first
and got away well In the lead. We had
hard luck in getting away, and every
other boat preceded us. The light
winds seemed to favor the English
boats. We were disheartened bit
at first, remember. But pretty soon
a good breeze sprang up. We spread
all the canvas We could, and at once
commenced to pick up.
Before we reached the station
ship, anchored half way in the course,
we had passed every one Of the other
boats. AS we turned the station-ship
we were four minutes and six seconds
ahead of the nearest one of our COM
petitors.
AT the finish we were way in the
lead. There wasn't any second, at
least so the story goes. But Of course
you've heard that story" The writer
said he hadn't, SO Capt. Hoffman re-
lated it. WELL" he said, "it's pref.
ty old story now. 1t relates how the
queen was told of the result Of the
race and her inquiry, What boat was
second?" There was no second, your
majesty was the reply. To tell the
truth, the second boat was so far in
the rear that we really could not make
out which one 1t was when we crossed
the finish line.
Our boat was very much the best
craft in the race. There Is no doubt
about that. When we crossed the line
there was mighty little cheering from
anyone save the men on the America.
Our crew went daft over the win.
They cheered and cheered and cheered
and they danced around like Inians.
