fa i1sane Wonsn's Deed.

A double, perhaps quadruple, tragedy, occurred recently in Clay county. Mrs. Nellie POlsgrove killed her husband. Frank, and her 4year-old daughter, then set fire to the house. and their bodies were incinerated, on ly dust and few charred bones re- maining. In addition she attacked her two older children, Hubbard, boy. aged 13 and Lcxie, girl of l0. Both vii probably die. She apparent ly used an axe on her victims, judging from the character of the wounds on the two found alive. It Is supposed that the woman killed her husband and baby as they lay asleep. and that the other children, awakened by the noise. ran out of the house and were oyertaken and struck down where they We're found. Sudden homieidal mania is the only explanation of the affair. Mrs. Polsgrove has shown signs of insanity for several years' but was not regarded as dangerous She has been placed in confinement.

Big Crowd at Circl-s

The Sells-Floto Shows which visited
our city last Wednesday, pleased two
large audiences here at the afternoon
and evening performances. In the
afternoon about 1000 people took in
the circus and at the evening perfor-
nance over 1000 were in attendance.
The attendance from the neighboring
country was good il spite of the fact
that the roads we're very bad and at
some points almost impossible.
The muddy condition of the streets
and the fact that all of the parapher-
MALTA had to be hauled from the west
portion of the city to the east end was
responsible for late parade, which
did not take place until 11:30 O'Clock.
The tents were pitched in the 'Ferring
Addition instead of on the location in
the west part of the city which was at
first selected for the show grounds,
the change being made necessary on
account of the bad roads.
The exhibitions given by the Sells
Floto Shows were very satisfactory
and in their ring performances some
novel and very amusing features were
introduced.
A commendable feature of the shows
visit in our city was the fact that no
travelling fakirs or gamblers were on
hand to give the authorities trouble
and the day passed without any
arrests of any kind being made.

A Plea sing Entertainment.

One of theflnosta pleasing entertain
ments ever given by home talent in
this city was that which was given on
Tuesday eveningrof last week at the
opera house by Miss Railson and her
pupils in music. The program thru
out was thoroly enjoyed by the large
audience, every participant doing his
or her part in such a manner as to
win hearty applause and their per-
formance reflected great credit upon
the teacher. Vocal and instrumental
solos and duets composed the first
part of the program and the cantata,
"The May Queen,'' was given as the
second part: About thirty of the
young people took part in the cantata,
and produced an entertainment that
was very pretty and spectacular in
effect. Several of the characters were
especially we'll taken, but suffice it to
say that all did we'll.
f. In the May pole dance the following
little girls participated: Esther Tall
man, Marion Gratz, Vivian Olson.
Ruth Sanderson, Edna Sanderson,
Mabel Rogers, .Eunice Spicer and
Myrtle Porter. Thama Bowen was
the crown bearer.

are experiencing considerable trouble
in getting to market. The bad roads
seriously interfere with the service of
our rural mail carriers and q of late
they have been unable TO- fully cover
their territory: Many pools Of water
cover the roads in different parts Of
the county and the low lands are
flooded so: that large streams exist.
Never before have farmers experienced
so much trouble in getting about with
their teams, in many instances being
mired and having to resort to strenu-
Gus means to extricate themselves.

A Snappy Game.

The Willmar base ball twirlers
journeyed to Paynesville last Satur-
day and were taken into camp by the
locals in one Of. the ''snappiest" thir-
teen-inning. games ever seen on the
home grounds. Willmar came over
full of ginger and determination to
win their first game of the season, and,
thanks to several inexcusable errors
on the part of Paynesville, the indi-
cations up to the eighth inning were
that their desire would be realized, but
in the eighth Paynesville tied the score
and secured a lead. of one point.
Willmar tied in the ninth and another
score was not made until the thir-
teenth;: when Mahoney crossed the
rubber for .Paynesville. 1t was al
most a shame to beat those Willmar
fellows: They are nine as clean>sports
as ever graced a diamond. There was
not a dispute, a jangle or complaint
and the most ardent Paynesville rooter
was about half sorry when the local
team secured that fifth run. Such a
team is a good advertisement for: "a
town and the Willmar business men
ought do the handsome thing by it.
