Have You Joined the Choral Union7

The Choral Union, which has been
organized under the direction of Prof.
G. A. Sperati, now has over hundred
members, and it's success is assured.
The purpose of the union is to give
oratorios, and they will not appear in
any other way. 1t is to be hoped that
all singers in the city, regardless Of
nationality or church affiliation will
join the chorus, as it will be one of
the finest things of the kind ever
organized in this part OF the state.
Just imagine what grand presenta-
ton of one of the great oratorios can
be made with chorus of two hundred
good singers, and we have them in
DEBORAH, drilled by director like
Prof. Sperati. We sincerely hope
that all local talent will join the
chorus, both for the benefit of them
selves and the public. The next meet
ing of the Choral Union will be held
in the j. J. Marsh hall on Saturday
evening of this week at z 80 O'Clock,
when plans will be perfected for the
work of training.

AWFUL CRIME AT CALEDONIA.
Young Man Murders Sweetheart, Shoots
Her Mother and Sister and Then
Himself.

In the little town Of Caledonia,
across the line in Minnesota. an awful
crime was committed on New Years
night about IL O'Clock. Mat Steyer,
who has lived there since boynood,
had been taking the dental course in
the state university at Minneapolis,
and was to graduate next spring.
He had been enamored of Miss Pearl
Wheaton, the daughter of the county
commissioner of Houston county,
living about two miles from Caledo-
MIA. Her parents had objected to his
keeping company with her, and during
the night he went to the house with
a revolver, and shot the girl in the
heart. then turned on her mother,
shooting her in the neck and arm, then
shot his sweetheart IS sister, and finally
turned the weapon upon himself and
attempted suicide. Miss Pearl died
instantly. and the others were all
seriously wounded. 1t was thought
last night that her sister would not
recover, but that the mother and
himself would probably survive their
wounds. In all the history of southern
Minnesota there have been few such
awful crimes. and the New year
starts out with feeling of horror and
sadness in the hearts Of all i'll that
vicinity.

Murder and Suicide at OeIwein.

Early Sunday morning in room at
the Mealey hotel in Oelwein, l.. p.
Carr an wife were victims OF murder
and ATTEMPTED suicide, there being a
difference of opinion as to which one
committed the crime. After domestic
troubles few days ago, Carr left
home and took a room at the Mealey.
Early Sunday morning Mrs. Carr
went to his room while he.was absent.
Soon after he returned, shots were
heard, and upon investigation he was
found dead with three wounds in his
head and she almost unconscious with
two wounds in the chest. She
claims he shot her ami then himself,
but some think he could not have
done the shooting, as any one of ths
shots would have killed him instantly

No tuberculosis There.

DIR. B. Harmon, assistant state vet
erinarian, spent two days last week
among the herd of Shcrthorn cattle on
the farm of John Wingate q Son,
Hesper township, at their request
giving the herd the strictest examina-
ton with rigid tests for tuberculosis.
but after two DAYS work found no
trace of tuberculosis among the herd.
There is so much tuberculosis among
the cattle In different parts OF the
state that these gentlemen wanted
to satisfy themselves beyond the
question of doubt that none existed
in their herI. and took this method OF
doing so. The res ult is matter OF
great satisfaction to them and to the
many who lave purchased breeding
cattle of them.

Dangers of Cold and How to Avoid Them.

More fatalities have their origin in or
result from cold than from any other
cause. This fact alone should make PEG.

whatever from cold when it is properly
treated in the beginning For many years

recognized as the most prompt and effect

GRAND LARCENY ALLEGED.
Trial of Mutual Reserve Life Official
Begun.

Begun.
New York, Nov. 27.-The trial of
George Bnrnham, Jr., counsel for the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance COM
pany, who was jointly indicted with
his brother, Frederick A. Burnham,
president of the company, and George
D. Eldridge, vice president, for grand
larceny, began during the day in the
criminal branch of the supreme court.
Burnham is alleged to have paid
$500 to Nichols & Brown, attorneys
for F. B. Armstrong, who was an
agent and policyholder of the Mutual.
The payments appeared on the books
Armstrong and the Mutual when as a
matter of fact, it is alleged, it was in
settlement Of a suit brought by Doug
las Wells, a vice president of the
company, against Frederick A. Burn
ham as an individual.
Attorneys for the prosecution en-
deavored to have all three of the in
dicted men tried jointly, but to this
the defense objected. In the course
of the examination of talesmen as
jurors they were asked whether they
knew Senator Plat and various other
persons.
Considerable difficulty was expert.
enced in selecting Jurors. Talesmen
who had read reports Of the insurance
investigation and formed opinions on
the conditions in the insurance com
panfes In general were promptly chAl
lenged by the defense.
