An Awful TRAGEDY.

Kris Nelson. commonly called big
Dane" whose home was little north
of Gordonsville. shot his wife and
himself, last night, and both are dead.
His wife had been from home about
three weeks and got home yesterday.
Nelson came from Albert Lea yester-
day under the influence of liquor. He
was always abusive when drunk and
had several times turned his family
out of doors in all sorts Of weather.
He shot his wife through the stomach,
and then went out doors. put the
gun" to his mouth, and blew the
top of his head off. He leaves large
family. though only two little girls
and one boy were at home. The boy
ran to neighbor and gave the alarm.
According to'the meager accounts at
hand the wife died at three O'Clock
this morning and the murderer and
suicide a little later. Nelson was
thought to be slightly crazy as the re-
suit of a railway accident, but that
did not prevent him from getting
LIQUOR. About week ago John An
derson of Lake Mills filled up sin the
Albert lea saloons and drove his team
along the Rock Island track instead of
the highway. The southbound passen-
ger train killed him and his horses. -

PennyroyaI and FIeas.

When 1t comes to talking about fleas
the writer knows just where he is at.
When he was boy the country
swarmed with them, and perhaps one
of the things he will remember longest
will be the sleepless nights and the tor
ments that the 1eas gave him when
sitting in Quaker meetings, where he
did not dare to scratch. For many
years the people seemed to put up with
them as an evil from which there was
no escape. yet there was an efficient
remedy growing on every farm in the
shape of modest little plant called
pennyrOyal, which Is familiar to every
country bred boy. The odor of this
plant seems very offensive to many
kinds of insects. A freshly bruised
bunch of the plant put in a small bag
and rubbed on the bed linen and then
left in the bed will evict the last flea

and political affairs are assigned as
the cause of the officials desire to
shun the world. 1t is stated he is fol.
lowing out the rigid discipline of the
monks and attending stricly to devo-
tions prescribed by the order. There
was much speculation as to the
whereabouts of the mayor. When the
