When Major House was ut the farm,
the owners told him that the number
of ducks which would be raised, this
wear, would be larger than TINT of any
previous year since the farm had been
established, and that the grand total
would figure up something like $4,000
or 80 900 birds. At the price quoted
above, it will be seen that the latter
number would bring 10 the owners of
the farm the snug sum of Sl9.50O
A problem which has arisen, how

A Remarkable Family.

Sundays Register and Leader con-
tains an account of remarkable
family, the parents residing on farm
near Waukon. This is one of the most
remarkable family groups in Iowa to-
day, in the fact that the family circle
remains unbroken after sixty years
of the married life of the parents, who
reside near Waukon in Allamakee
county. The entire family of eleven
persons, nine children and the father
and mother, were able to be present
at the celebration of the event last
summer and to sit together for a
photograph. David Steele and Eliza
beth Ralston were married at James
town, Mercer county, Pennsylvania,
sixty years ago on the 27th of March.
They came west to Iowa forty-two
years ago, and have since lived on a
farm just at the edge of the town of
Waukon. Mr.. Steele is 50 and Mrs.
Steele is so years of age. Their son,
Alderman r. 1. Steele is a resident
of Waukon, and is a photographer.
The photograph was taken at his
gallery in Waukon by his wife.

AWFUL CRIME.
Brutal Murder Near Independence.

! One of the most brutal murders ever
committed in Iowa has perpetrated
on a farm six miles south of Indepen-
dence Friday. Mrs. w. McWilliams and
her five children ranging from three
to eighteen years OF age, were the
victims, the husband and father,
William McWilliams has been arrested
and placed in Jail at independence, and
accused of the crime. The weapon
with which the foul deed was done
was an ordinary hammer. The skull
of the mother was terribly crushed
by the blows which had been rained
upon it, and afterward she was
assailed with a knife and savagely
hacked. The children, who it lis sup
posed were out of doors at work on
the farm were called in one at a time
and murdered in the same manner.
One of them was baby not more than
three years of age who was found
with piece of buttered bread in its
hands and was lying in it's dead
mothers arms. McWililams denies
his guilt. 1t is generally believed he
is insane, though that belief is not
shared bv all who know him.
The burial services of the six
victims were held from the Methodist
church at Independence on SUNDAY,
attended by the largest crowd that
ever attended funeral in that city.
The bodies were buried in the
cemetery at Littleton.
