Brother-in.Law Suspected of Killing
Minneapolis Woman.

Minneapolis, June 6.-The body of
Mrs. Katherine Mozart Of this city,
who has been reported missing since
May "a, was found at the bottom of
an abandoned we'll on the farm of
George Katelbach near Long lake,
Hennepin county, shortly before mid
night. L
The body was beaten and battered
almost beyond recognition and showed
Enthusiastically that the woman had
been murdered and then thrown into
the we'll.
George >Katelbach, who is suspected
Of Staying the woman, has escaped.
An armed posse Of detectives and
farmers raided his house at daybreak,
after an all night vigil, but found the
building empty. .
The police are mystifed as to what
could be the motive for the crime. It
is known that Mrs. Mozart owned a
valuable farm and some think that
the property was to go to Katelbach
in event of her death.

ALLEGED COURT lNTRlGUEs
Statement Denying Any Connection on
Part of Kaiser.

Berlin, June GA semi-official state
ment has been issued regarding the
court intrigues supposed to have been
carried on by Prince Philip zu Eslen-
burg, for long time favorite with
the kaiser, and Count Won Moltke. The
statement in effect disclaims any con-
nection on the part of the kaiser with
the alleged intrigues. The statement
says:
"Our kaiser, as is we'll known, has
a large circle of confdants whom he
consults, as well as his ministers, but
It would '2e great mistake to suppose
that he is influenced by them as if by
calnarilla. None knowing the per-
sonality and strong will of the kaiser
would think he could be so infiu
enced"
The alleged intrigues, which have
led to the designations of the men
whose names are involved, had for
their purpose, it is said, the displace-
ment of Prince Won Buelow and the
promotion Of Won Moltke to the chan
cellOrship.

Imitation Of Ebony.

There are two processes, says the
Carriage Monthly, in use in the imita-
ton Of ebony. Take fine grained
piece of wood, use French black pol
ish, made black with fine coloring mat
ter, or good air drying black varnish
may be applied: This, however, gives
only superficial coloring, and when
the edges wear off the light colored
wood shows. The other method is to
wash three or four times any dense
wood with a boiling concoction of log
wood, allowing it to dry between each
application. Then wash with a solu-
ton Of acetate of iron, which is made
by dissolving iron filings in vinegar
This stain is very black and penetrates
into the wood so that ordinary wear
and chipping will not show the original
color.

Up $250,oo0 on the Race, Including
the Purse of $3.50 and the Added
Value of His Horse
London, June 6-Richard Croker
won the derby at EPSON and gained
the ambition of his life, his colt, Orby,
bred from an American dam and rid
den by an American jockey, Johnny"
Reiff, having beaten all the British
cracks and captured the blue ribbon
of the worlds turf by two lengths.
Outside of Mr. Croker and his imme-
date encourage Orby had but few
friends and the betting indicated that
the sporting prophets estimated his
chances as being slight.
Aside from winning the blue ribbon
of the turf Mr.. Croker made fortune.
In the first place the stakes, $500
sovereigns, or $32,500, is no inconsid-
cradle SUM and then he had the op-
portunity of making any number of
bets at to 1 and, finally, the value of
Orby has increased to such an extent
that Mr.. Croker may, if he so desires,
sell him for an immense sum. Of
course it is impossible to find out the
financial results of Mr.. Cookers tri-
umph, but one way or the other they
were placed at S25O,OOO. -.
