Ed Austin bought car Of
shelled corn from Chicago to feed
to three carloads of steers, which
he will prepare for market. He
paid So cents for the corn. The
steers are from an extra-fine herd,
and when fattened will bring the
top price.
Corn has a luxuriant growth,
but the ears are not developing as
fast as they should, on account of
the cool weather. On two morn
ings last week the mercury regis

is too cool for corn weather.

Aid. Knapp believes he has the
LATEST horse in the state and he's
willing to wager on it. There are
instances on record wher a lazy
horse has laid down in harness, but
when it comes to fairly falling down
while on duty, breaking pair Of
shafts, demoralizing new harness,
all this time being tied in the shade
to a hitching post, the climax is
reached. And this is the case as
Aid. Knapp reports it. which trans

The sense of exhilaration that
sweeps over community as circus
day approaches is not confined to
the small boy or the small boys big
brother. 1t is popular and leglti-
mate thing for pater familias to
hem" and ''haw'' little when
asked if he is going to the circus,
and finally admits in a half depre-
ciating way that he twill probably
have to go to see the animals" But
way down IN his heart, unless that
useful member is warped and cal
loused beyond all hope of recover,
there is sense Of jubilation- a
surging of old feelings and old mem
cries perfect flood of recollections
in which the one-ring circus of other
days, and Dan Rice and Jim Robin
son, the champion rider Of the I'M
iverse, (" and a long list OF other FAM
GUS ring celebrities, are photo
graphed upon his mind in compos-
lite picture eff other days. He may
possibly say that of the strenuous
days when there is so much to see
that the spectator is constantly
threatened with strabismus and
mental alteration, is not to be com
pared with the old-time circus with
a single clown, one single clown,
one elephant and lonesome family
of acrobats; but, nevertheless, he
in his heart knows he is good nat
ured hypocrite and that he would
take in" the circus if there wasn't

A Short Chapter on Duluth.
Especial Correspondence by Alfred Il. Bus
nelly sAs

fgn< n * 81
Situated along the shore Of the bay
at the west end of Lake Superior, the
city of Duluth much resembles a
mopstrous. semi circle in shape. Upon
the comparatively fiat bottom lands is
the business and railroad district;
while on the terraces, rising up the
steep slopes of the hills, which tower
up back of the waters edge, are MANY
fine residences.
A teacher of one of the city schools
once asked certain pupil the size of
Duluth. After some reflection, the
lad said gravely: six miles long
"a half of mile wide, and two and
a half miles high Even if the young
fellow did not get the exact figures,
his answer had in it some truth, a
good deal one would find. should he at
tempt to get about the city much.
The Duluth harbor is almost as per-
feet as can be found. Stretching
across the bay, in front of the city. is
a narrow strip of land, perhaps four
and half miles long and one hundred
and fifty feet wide. Through broad
channel at the north end of this
natural break water,- only one SO
large to be found in the world boats
enter into the harbor. Here large
lake liners, glistening with paint, iron
clad freight boats, cumbersome ore
boats, tugs, sloops and skiffs find
shelter, when the greatest wind is
blowing. This narrow piece of land not
only affords protection for the harbor,
but also furnishes wooded sites for
houses and clubs, and even has two
street car tracks running It's whole
lenght. Although the city is COM
paratively small, having something
like $4,000 inhabitants, it has wonder
full commercial activities. The head
port of the Great Lakes, it lis the
shipping point of vast amounts Of
wheat, grain, -four and ore, which are
sent east. Besides, Duluth is the ter
minus of eleven railroad systems,
showing the extent of the railway
transportation. Factories, planning
mills and lumber yards add to the
activities of the great Minnesota port.
Among the various things to "do"
here, nothing is more satisfying than
a ride up the inclined electric
railway. No doubt, the stranger, when
he steps into the car, with It's low
front wheels and high rear ones, and
the queer conveyance shoots upwards
at an angle of thirty degrees, has his
doubts of the pleasure in the trip.
But when he is once out, and sees
what lies beneath, he feels nothing
but the grandeur of the scene. Off to
the east the surface of Lake Superior
meets the horizon in clear line. In
the distance Superior can be seen.
The break water, spanning the bay,
seems like the string of great bow,
formed by the curving shore. line.
Lake Superior is the largest fresh
water lake in the world. Though its
facilities for navigation are exceeding
ly good, it is dangerous body of
water upon which to DE in small

MURDERER AND
VICTIM BURIED
Funerals of Peter Henkel
and Rudolph Wieland.
CONTRAST IN OBSEQUIES
Aftermath Of the Double Tragedy.
Sorrowing Populace Pays Final
Tribute to Respected Victim.

The funeral of Rudolph Wieland,
mention of whose brutal murder by
Peter Henkel was made in a special
issue of this paper Tuesday night,
was held on Thursday at the home
of his sister, Mrs. Christian Vesper-
man in south Lancaster. Tt was
large funeral -one of the largest
ever held in this section. The cir
cumstances attending his death
were so sensational and the people
were SO much in sympathy with
the stricken relatives that all who
could go were present.
Rudolph Wieland was of Swiss
parentage, born on the ocean when
his parents were immigrating to
this country AZ years ago. He was
a bachelor, and was a pleasant, in
dustrious and thrifty man, after the
manner of the generality of people
of that nationality.
Mr.. Wieland's father is Jacob
Wleland, now of st. Louis. His
mother died some years ago. The
aged father with the step-mother
came to the funeral. Rudolph was
brother of Mrs. Christian Vesper-
man, Mrs. Thomas Hartman, Mrs.
George HoehnS and George j. !,
Wieland. They are all people held
in high esteem by their neighbors,
as was the deceased
Mr.. Wieland owned a farm of 100
acres, but rented it and lived with
his sister, Mrs. Vesperman. It was
at her home that the funeral was
held. 1t was conducted by Rev. j.
T. Morgans and Rev. E. Nabholz
of this, city. There were 1872 teams
counted on the premises, and many
more Joined them at Hurricane,
where the interment occurred.
Peter Henkel, who SO foully
murdered Rudolph Wieland, and
then committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head, was buried in
the Kinney cemetery southeast of
Hurricane on Wednesday. He was
given a decent, Christian burial
charity beitting community of
Christian people.
Many circumstances since the
tragedy have been brought to light
which show that the desperate
man was probably partly un-
balanced mentally and partly brutal
and vicious by nature. He was
very suspicious, and when he got
the probably erroneous idea that
Wieland was trying to keep his
wife away from him, he brooded
over the matter night and day,
neither eating nor sleeping, and
when he died his body was In an
emaciated condition. A thousand
circumstances remembered by many
go to prove that if he was not
partly insane he was in many
respects mentally weak as we'll as
vicious.
His killing Of Or" Aver in
Little Grant some years ago no
doubt had an influence on the re-
cent tragedy. Fortunately for him
the circumstances of the former
killing were such that he got
through on a sentence of two years,
on a charge of manslaughter. Nat
urally a man of his disposition and
intelligence after that experience
would not regard the killing of a
man as very serious affair.

pleasure craft owing to the extremely
low temperature of the water. Summer
and winter, the temperature of the
lake is forty degrees Fahrenheit, a
fact which means instant drowning
to the person who is swamped.

The number is small of the persons
who can remember the disasters of
1851, says the Philadelphia North
American in reviewing the tariff and
financial legislation of the Democratic
party. The writer is one who has a
very distinct recollection of the fnan-
eial panic of 1857, brought about by the
free trade policy of the Democrats.
The revenues of the government fell
off to such an extent that the treasury
was empty, and the naval, military and
civil employees of the government wei e
unpaid for months. The national credit
had fallen so low that for such money
as the government was able to borrow
it had to pay - per cent. Creditors of
the government were in even worse
plight We knew of contractors hold
ing quartermaSters vouchers who paid
:, per cent. month for money to carry
on their business. Erie railroad stock
fell to ) and cents on the dollar. This
was under President Buchanan. In a
different degree, but in precisely the
same manner, the same thing happened
during President Cleveland's second adj
ministration.

The deaths OF number OF lOngshore-
men in New York city from drinking
whiskey supposed to have been adulter-
ated with wood alcohol has led to an
analysis of the liquors sold in swell
bar-rooms, with the result that it was
found to be adulterated, though not
with wood alcohol A general swear
ing-off'' followed In Boston like in
vestigation brought like results. A
correspondent of the New York Herald
having stated that "prune juice bene-
fits whiskey," another correspondent,
who was an active wholesale dealer in
Philadelphia for twenty five years, says
that whiskey distilled from rye, when
it has attained certain age, requires
no prune juice whatever, or any other
foreign substance or product? And
further:
The article to be had in all the saloons
certainly in ninety per cent. OF them
to-day-and sold across the bar for ten
cents is nothing but common spirits
distilled from vegetable matter and
wheat. This is the vile stuff which in
popular parlance is called the ''cobweb
cleaner" and which is disguised and
made easy of swallowing by the ad-
dition of prune juice. AS the pharma-
cist adds syrup to castor oil to induce
the small boy to swallow the latter, SO
the bender and jobber nowadays pre-
pare product of spirits and prune
Juice and bead oil and put it on the
market as "rye whiskey." This is the
stuff which gives the bibulous blear
eyes, red nose and eruptive face.
