Confessed His Crime

Wni. McWilliams, of Independence,
who last week murdered in cold blood
his wife and five children, has con-
fessed to his crime, giving the details
in the following confession: 81,
VIM. s. McWililams, CT my own free
will and accord, do make this my
confession of the crime committed by
me at my home in Sumner township
On Wednesday, November %, 1905,
at 6 O'Clock p. M. l went in the
house and my wife and baby were
alone. She was cooking the evening
meal. / struck her with the hammer
and laid her one side. then struck
the baby and put her one side.
called Cora in the house and struck
her as she came in the door and laid
her one side. called the boys in,
the oldes- one came first and repeated
the operation, then the next oldest
boy came in and 1 served him the
same, then the smallest boy and he
received the same treatment. Before
any of the boys came in, Cora recovered
from the blow and grabbed the knife
and fought me. A minute afterward
l used the butcher knife and went
around and stabbed them all. / then
washed myself and changed my clothes
and rode down town to my fathers.
Subscribed and sworn to before r.

What a Wise Wife Knows.

She knows that home is more than
half what you make 1t, and that a
builder of happy home is success
indeed. She knows that it takes two
to prolong family quarrel, one can
therefore terminate it. She knows
that filling a house with bargains
keeps couple from owning the house
in which they place them. She knows
that if we thought all we said we'd
he wise but if we said all we thought
we'd be foolish. She knows that
some people sheer at love in cottage,
but love that could wish to live any,
where else is not love. She knows
that proud people seldom have friends.
In prosperity they know nobody; in
adversely nobody knows them, says
Woman's Life. She knows that to
make long lived friendship one must
be slow in making them. She knows
that the woman who gains a trifie
meanly is meaner than the trifie.
She knows that ''it is less pain to
learn in youth than to be ignorant in
old age" She knows that if she can
not throw brightness over her home
it is best not to thow wet blanket
over it. She knows that the wife who
thinks she is perfect is generally the
most imperfect. The unwise wife
may profit by studying what the wise
woman knows.

Protect The Quail.

The Franklin County Recorder calls
attention of the farmer boys to the
protection of quail this winter, pro-
position which we most heartily
endorse. Says the Recorder: Efforts
are being made in some localities to
protect the quail from the inclemency
of the severe winter at hand. To do
this farmers are urged to scatter grain
along the hedges and in the groves
that thew frequent. and they will
come very near to the barnyard if not
disturbed. 1t is suggested that
bundles of straw or even brush pile
left in their haunts will make them
a good shelter and prevent them being
smothered in the snow. and we COM
mend the plan of caring for the quail
especially to our farmer boys, and a
little care in protecting the little
birds now, will help make them
abundant in the near future"

A Narrow Escape.

Jas. Mclaughlin one of the land
lords of the Hotel Lewis at McGregor
is an Elkader visitor today. He re-
ports rather exciting time at the
Lewis Monday. A lady, the wife of
a travelling man who was stopping at
the hotel, was using an alcohol lamp
in her room to heat mixture con-
tanning turpentine when the turpen-
tine became ignited from the lamp
and an explosion resulted. The lady
was quite seriously burned about the
head and her clothing was all ablaze
when Mr.. Mclaughlin arrived .and
smothered the fire by rolling her in a
quilt. The bed clothes also caught
fire but were thrown out of the
window and serious results averted. =

LaGrippe and Pneumonia i.

Pneumonia often follows lagrippe
but never follows the use of Foiey's
Honey and Tar. 1t cures lagrippe
coughs and prevents pneumonia and
consumption. Ask for Foley's Honey
and Tar and refuse any substitute
offered. Mr.. G.. Vacher, of 157
Osgood St., Chicago, writes My wife
had a severe case of lagrippe three
years ago, and it left her with a ter.
rible cough. She tried bottle OF
Foley's Honey and Tar and it gave
immediate relief. A 80 cent bottle
cured her cough entirely" Refuse

FIGHT DUEL TO THE DEATH.
Terrible Battle Between Two Men
Near Hibbinq, MINI.

NSaV E1IOHIIS, WHILE
Duluth, Oct. with no other wit
nesses than a vicious dog two men,
James Canty, timber cruiser, and
Gus Lahti, homesteadeF, fought a
duel to the death at Taber, seventeen
miles north of Hibbing.
Both men realized that it was a
case of the survival of the fittest and
both of the bodies were found badly
mangled. Canty left Welsh's camp,
near Taber, one afternoon and it is
supposed that he was either attacked
by Lahtis dog or had angered Lahti
by crossing the line of his home
stead.
A quarrel ensued and Lahti at
tackled CAVITY with knife, giving
Canty several deep cuts about the
head and body. Lahti also carried a
short barreled gun, with which he
shot his opponent in the breast Canty
evidently wrenched the knife away, as
Lahti was also badly cut.
The former was also chewed about
the legs by the dog. When the men
were nearly dead appearances indi-
cate that they had called the fight off
and taken different directions, rs the
bodies were found 500 feet apart, an
equal distance from the scene of the
battle.
