To


Ed. Magnuson, cook for Oscar Olson,
was arrested Tuesday night on war
rant issued by the city justice at st.
Peter. addressed to any constable or po-
lice officer of Nicollet county, charg
ing Magnuson with having left an un-
paid balance on board bill at the City
Hotel, st. Peter, conducted by Mrs.

Letter Furnishes Another Chap
ter to Wheaton Tragedy.
PEARL WAS TRUE TO LOVER.
Styer Went to House to Get His
Sweetheart; Shooting Follows;
Family Still Has Doubts.

Caledonia, Mimi, Jan. ga letter
purporting to be from Pearl Wheaton,
who was killed and her mother and Sis
ter fatally wounded by Matt Styer,
Tuesday, Styer subsequently committing
suicide, was discovered yesterday and is
receiving consideration in clearing up the
mystery.
The letter is addressed to Styer and
in ii the dead girl is represented as
promising to elope with Styer and max
ing arrangements to meet him at her
home at midnight between Jan. l and
Jan 2, the hour the shooting occurred.
In view of this discovery the theory is
advanced in behalf of Styer that he
went to the Wheaton home to assist
Pearl to escape, that he was discovered
by members of the family and fired on
and that he shot back in elf-defense
against the mother and sister, killing his
sweetheart, Pearl, by accident, and that
he killed himself when he realized how
deadly his aim was.
The Wheaton family doubt the au-
thenticity of the letter and cling to the
original story that triple murder and
suicide was deliberately planned.
Thirty letters from Pearl Wheaton to
Styer, all promising undying love, were
found in Styer's effects and among
these were several in which the girl
promised to 90 with Styer when he
came after her.
Ruth Wheaton is not expected to re-
cover. Mrs. Wheaton may recover.
Pearl Wheaton, the dead girl, was for
merly school teacher in the country.
Roth was taking a nurse training at a
St. Paul hospital.
The jury in the coroner's inquest re-
turned a verdict that Pearl Wheaton
met her death at the hands of Matthias
L. Styer.
The horse and rig. which Styer expect
ed TO use in clipping with Pearl was
found in a neighboring field

CLARKE BROWNS SUCCESS.
Will Take Company of Imperial
Guards to Russia.

| The following refers to Clarke Browne
J who formerly resided in Mapleton, and
son of Editor Brown of The Amboy
Herald:
To bid farewell to his friends before
accompanying his troupe of japanese
Imperial Guards on a tour of the Rus
sian music halls, Clarke Brown, the vau-
deville manager, returned to America
yesterday.
Brown organized his company of Ja-
panese infantry when the war interest
was keen. He presented them at the
local vaudeville houses and then took
the twenty Japs to Europe. Brown left
them in Munich when negotiations fol
their appearance in st. Petersburg be-
gan to get hot.
To his great surprise, the Russian
impresarios- they're all impresarios in
Russia-displayed keen interest in
booking the troupe. After some refec-
ton Brown determined that it was only
trap to catch twenty Japs and wipe
them from the earth.
He consulted German insurance COM
pany relative to insuring' the lives of
his company, and the answer was a sue
cession of cultural ha-ha's. He reflect
ed further. Then he decided to return
to America and have an interview with
his family. Meanwhile he has received
reassuring reports, and in the spring will
rejoin the Japs, and conduct them to st.
Petersburg and Moscow.-New York

Rev. F. w. Gunsaulus met the
other day two children in blue sailor
suits out walking with their mother.
Mr.. Gunsaulus paised the pretty
blue suits, the trim sailor hats and
the handsome REFERS. Then he smil-

In a certain church one Sunday
morning three children sat in the
front row of the gathering with sail
or hats on their heads.
THE sexton before the service
commenced, tiptoed down the aisle
and whispered loudly and indignant
ly:
Take them hats off, boys.
The children took no notice and
very angrily the sexton appeared
OFF with them hats, do you
hear?'
Still they did not comply. So
the old man came and leaned over
them, glowering in their faces.
Why he began, but in a
shrill little pipe of terror one of the
children interrupted him.

.MrS. Chester Gu1vy

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children il ruins child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit TO bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; IL is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like hrebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness. and nervous irritability Of
women arise from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like q ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to

Photographing Lightning.

Some new things regarding light
ming have been learned by photogra~
ply. For insance, it turns out th,:
the line branch and curve, but they
are not jagged, as was once supposed.
The design formerly employed by
artists to represent lightning was
highly inaccurate. 1t is now suggest
ed that perhaps another question
might be solved in the same way, but
by the exercise of special skill and
apparatus. The suspicion is enter
tanned that the flash is oscillatory-
that is. that the curr >nt moves al
ternately in opposite directions sew
eral times in succession. With a sta
tionary plate it is not likely that the
truth could be ascertained, but The
Electrical World threw out useful
hint the other day. Observers of
lightning will do we'll, it said, if they
could mount camera on q suitable
axis and revolve it. with exposed
plate, at reasonably definite rate at
night on the approach of a thunder
storm, so as to gain evidence of the
duration or oscillation vs lightning
discharge.
