Spouse to his knocking at the house
of his neighbors, John and Peter
Bohli, at ingalls, Crossing, this coun-

his Investigations disclosed the fact
that the two brothers were dead.
Their bodies lay on the floor of the
kitchen, both with several bullet
wounds in them and the heads bat
tered in, evidently with an axe,
which lay beside them. The rifed
empty wallet on the kitchen table
and the ransacked trunk upstairs in
dicated that robbery had been the
motive, but there was every evidence
also that it was not accomplished
until after fierce fight.
The crime is laid to tramps, and is
believed to have been committed
several nights ago. Both the MUIR

3 At one army post where number
of recruits were temporarily stationed
an old sergeant was ordered to ascer.
tain to what religious sect each man
belonged, and to see that ne joined
the party told off for that particular
form of worship. Some of the men
had no liking for church, and de.

WOMEN MOB PARLIAMENT
British House of Commons Be-
sieged by London Suffragettes.
Workingmen and Women Assemble
at the Call OF Agitators and Rush
the Doors of Westminster.

London. The climax of the suf-
fragette campaign was reached when
an enormous mob hemmed in Parlia-
ment and stopped the traffic in all
streets leading TO Westminster. For
more than three hours the crowds
scufied good naturedly with the po-
lice, interfered with theatregoers,
broke windows and disorgahized
things generally in the centre of Lon
don.
The heroine of the day was Mrs.
Travers Symons, formerly secretary
to James Keir Hardie, the Socialist
and Independent member of Parlia-
ment, who reached the door of the
House of Commons by strategy. The
House was solemnly debating bill
to prevent children from cigarette
smoking, when the woman dashed
past the doorkeeper to position in
front of the Speakers chair and
shouted shrilly: Leave off discuss
ing children and talk about women"
Three officials seized Mrs. Symons
and carried her out bodily. She was
then led to the outer door and dis
missed. AS result of the coup an
order was issued that hereafter wom-
en- should not be admitted to the
building on any pretext whatsoever,
and in the future the historic grille
will not screen feminine spectators.
The appeal issued by the suffra-
gettes few days ago for $4,000 per-
sons to help them rush" Parliament
was the most successful stroke yet.
Not less than twice that number re-
10 mir q
o. these were young people who came
to see the fun. There were also a
few hundred OF the unemployed and
their sympathizers.
Parliament was in state of siege.
A close triple, line of police was
drawn around three sides of the
square in front of the building. The
yard within the gates swarmed with
police, and 200 guarded the terrace
in the rear against assault by water,
which the women twice attempted.
A small feet of police boats also pa
trolled the Thames approaches.
All the mounted police in London
and suburbs had been modified at
this centre, and loads of hay were
unstacked in the streets for the
horses. The whole police force, to-
gether with cavalry, infantry and
marines, numbering more than 5000,
was kept busy in all directions with
buses, motor cars and cabs, mostly
filled with sightseers trying to thread
their way through.
Twenty-four suffragettes and
twelve of the unemployed were
placed under arrest. Many persons
tainted in the crush, few were
trampled upon and taken to the hos
pitfalls.
Mrs. Pankhurst, Miss Christabel
Pankhurst and Mrs. Lawrence were
summoned to court for melting a
breach of the peace. They coolly re-
fused to obey the summons, but
agreed to surrender themselves at 6
o'clock in the evening, which they
did.

streamers ON Fans.

Among the accessories that are
new in the shops are the fans of ex-
Quisite empire shapes in silk and
chiffon or lace. Then there are less
expensive ones of net, with dainty
applique figures and a double or tri-
pie frill of lace across the top, and
two long ribbon streamers floating
from the handle. These streamers
are quite a novelty, and may be pur-
chased separately, as we'll as the fan
rings. The former are in many fancy
devices. Some are long ends of wide
tulle, tied with satin ribbon, Others
are wide ribbons, slashed and edged
with fringe or lace. The fan rings
are jeweled. or otherwise decorated,
and are nothing more nor less than
bracelets, more ornamental than ser
yiceable.

NOT A MIRACLE

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe
that a man could suffer from coffee
drinking so severely as to cause spells
OF Inconsistencies. And to fsnd com
plete relief in changing from coffee
to Postum is well worth recording.
II used to be a great coffee drink
er, so much SO that it was killing me
by inches, My heart became so weak

an hour at a time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times a
day.
MY friends. and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until ]
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me 10 stop
coffee and try Postum, After much
hesitation concluded to try it, That
was eight months ago. Since then !
have had but few of those spells,
none for more than four months.

Styles for evening frocks are so
novel that no one takes to them at
first. They are so Grecian that one
must be educated to the Grecian
modes in order to appreciate the
drapings, which, to say the least, are
made to swing about the body like
sheets. Some of the dresses appear
to be composed of but one piece,
