THE DAR1Ho YOUNG MEN OF THE DAY.

You would think that the auto would nearly kill yachting. yet never before were fleets bigger or more beautiful assembled in the first weeks of the season. And this is no riddle at all. It is al
 most impossible to exaggerate the extent to which New York is becoming city of senseless extrav- agance. The possession of s10,o00 worth of auto
 mobile does not excuse even young man of society from the possession also of yacht or at least a motor boat capable of immense speed. The same young fellow may be one week knocking out a fellow players eye at poio the next week running his auto few hundred miles at 50 miles an hour through the most chickeny and doggy roads he can select, with consequent slaughter

Martin Ratus Murders Wife and Then
Shoots Himself.


Mankato, Mimi, April /. What
appears to have been a shocking muir
der and suicide occurred in North
Mankato yesterday, probably at noon
but it was 5 o'clock before it became
known The victims are Martin Ratus
a German brick mason. and his wife
They lived on the outskirts of North
Mankato.
Late in the afternoon neighbor
passing the house glanced in through
the window and saw the body of Mrs
Ratus In a chair in the kitchen. lean
ing against a table. The police of this
city We're notified and it was not until
hey reached the house and broke in
at it was known that the tragedy
was a double one On the bed in a
room adjoining the kitchen lay the
body of Ratus, with a revolver in his
right hand, a bullet wound in his left
temple and one near his heart.
No wound could be found on the
woman's body and this leads to the
belief that poison caused her death.
The generally accepted theory is
that Ratus killed his wife and then
ended his own life.

Special Agents Appearance Causes
Uneasness to 4omesteaders.
M. d. McEniry, a special agent OF
the general land office at Washington,
has been in Walworth county for sew
eral days, and, as result, uneasiness
exists among those few homesteaders
who have reason to fear that the in
vestigation conducted by the special
agent may cause them trouble when
they attempt to make final proof on
their homesteads.
AS a general rule the homesteaders
have fully complied with the public
land laws, but as is invariably the
case they are few of them who have
attempted to hold homesteads while
engaged in business at some nearby
town, - t is these persons who
have reason to anticipate trouble
when their final proofs are presented
to the land office
The land office officials are becom-
ing more strict as to the proofs they
accept, and recently some final proofs
in that and other parts of the state
have been rejected because the per.
sons making the proofs have not fully
complied with the law as to terms of
residence and character of improve.
ments made on their homesteads.
The visit Of the special agent will re-
suit in a full compliance hereafter by
all homesteaders with the laws gov.
