TWO MURDERED IN
BRUTAL MANNER
Winnipeg Chinese Wildly Excit-
ed Over Killing of Two of
Their Countrymen.
CRIME LAID TO HIGHBINDERS
Cinnamon Were Slaughtered With an
AK in Laundry Shack-MOney
Is Not Taken.

Winnipeg, Dec %. - Murdered in
the most brutal manner in their laun-
dry shack at an hour when scores Of
people must have been passing, two
Chinese, Kung Pow and Chun Lung,
were found lying in pools of blood by
a belated customer.
Circumstances connected with the
crime strongly suggest the theory
that the murders were committed by
Chinese highbinders, and the police
are working on this hypothesis.
Winnipeg Chinese are wildly ex-
cited over the double murder.
Second Similar Affair.
This is the second affair OF the kind
in a year. The two victims on the
former occasion were slaughtered and
the house set on fire. Nearly every
Chinaman in Winnipeg attended
mass meeting last night. Funds Will
be raised to finance the fullest inves-
tigation. 1t was decided to close laun-
dries at 10 o'clock Saturday nights
hereafter.
The throats of both victims of Sat-
urday's crime were cut with butch
er knife and their heads were horribly
hacked with an AK These implements
were found beside the bodies.
Money was found in the pockets Of
the dead men, but their valises and
trunks up stairs were rihed. Other
signs tended to show that the crime
was done by Chinese hatchetmen,
who sought something other than
money.
Finds CHASTITY Scene.
When the belated customer entered
the laundry the air in the place was
foul with the odor of blood, and the
man drew back instinctively, even be-
fore his eyes had become accustomed
to the dim light. When he looked
again he saw a sight so horrifying
that he backed away from the door
with a shrek and dashed down the
street. A policeman who was notified
took charge of the shop and summon
ed aid.
An investigation revealed the hor-
rible brutality of the crime. The vic
tins were slashed and hacked almost
beyond recognition. Blood was every
where, on floors, walls, table, in the
sink, where the murderers had wash
ed their hands, and a trail on the
stairs marked their footsteps to the
upper rooms.
The police have failed to find
trace of the perpetrators of the crime.

The mistletoe hung in the castle hall;
The holly branch shone on the old oak wall;
The Baron's retainers were blithe and CAV:
Keeping the Christmas holiday.
The Baron beheld with a fathers pride
His beautiful child young LovelPs bride,
While she with her bright eyes, seemed to be
The star of that goodly company.
On! The mistletoe bough
Pm tired of dancing now' she cried
Here tarry moment, I'll hide, I'll hide.
And Lowell he sure thou art the first to trace
The.dew to my secret hiding place.
Away she ran and her friends began
Each tower to search each nook to scan
And young Lowell cried "Oh where dost thou
hide?"
I'm lonesome without thee, my own dear
bride.

They sought her that night they sought her
next day,
They sought her in vain, when week passed
away,
In the highest, the lowest, the loneliest spot
Young Lowell sought wildly but found her
not,
And years few by and then grief at last
And when Lowell appeared the children cried,
See, the old man weep for his fairy BRIDE
Oh! The mistletoe bough.
At length an oak chest that had long lain hid
Was found in the castle; they raised the lid
When n skeleton form lay mouldering there,
In the bridal wreath of that lady fair
Oh! sad was her fate. W hen in sportiNe Jest
She hid from her lord in the old oak chest.
1t closed with n spring and dreadful doom
For the bride lay clasped in living tomb

Making Good.

There is no way of making lastino
friends like Making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well exemplify this.
and their friends. after more than two
decades of popularity, are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
"made good" and they have not made

A good. honest, square-deal medicine Of
known composition is DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t still enjoys an i'm
mense sale; while most OF the prepara-
tiOns that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
gone by the board and are never more
heard OF. There must be some reason for
this longtime popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach.
or for liver and blood affections, it's supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown in pop
uIar favor, while scores of less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For a torpid liver with it's attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
haps dizziness. foul breath, nasty coated
tongue, with bitter taste. loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility. nothing is so good as DIR.
an honest, Square-Geal medicine with ali
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper

therefore don't accept u substitute that
the dealer may possibly make little big
ger profit. Insist on your right to have
whIt yOu call for.
Don't buy DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion expecting it to prove "cure-All." 1t
is only advised for wOman's special all
ments. 1t makes weak women strong and
sick women well. Less advertised than
some Preparations sold for like purposes,
It's sterling curative virtues still maintain

A Farmers Views on Advertising.

'If mail order houses get 81 900
out Of the county each month, that
belongs to the home merchants, the
fault is with the merchants them
selves. The houses advertise and
give us prices on everything. They
tell us what they have and what they
want for it. OF course we get soaked
once in awhile. Then we can try
some other house. Most of the home
merchants who advertise don't quote
prices. They neglect to tell us what
we want to know-the prices. OF
course we can go to the store and
ask, but you all know how it is-one
does not know so well what he wants
to buy when he is at home And here
is where the mail order houses make
their hit. They send their advertis-
ing matter into our homes, and we
read it when we haven't anything
else to do.
Right here is where the home
merchants fall down. If they talked
their business to us in our homes the
same as the mail order houses do, the
people would be in to see them next
time they came to town and in many
cases make extra trips to see the
things at once that they didn't know
they wanted until they were brought
to their attention.
"The home merchant can save the
expense of getting out q catalogue.
We read the home paper more care
fully than we do the catalogue, and
if the merchants want to talk busi-
ness with us let them put their talk
in the home papers and put it in SO
that We know they mean business.
The home merchant likely nine times
out of ten sells his goods as cheaply as
the mail order houses, and, I believe,
in many things they are much cheap
er, but how are we to know if he does
not tell us about it?
