Louise Arbogast Indicted for
Brutal Crime by Grand
Jury at St. Paul.
DEFENSE MAY Be INSANITY
Mother Believed to Be Named in
Secret Indictment Also Re.
turned by Jury.

st. Paul. June 5.-Louise Arbogast,
the pretty daughter Of Louis Arbo-
CAST, the West Seventh street butch
er, now stands formally charged with
the brutal murder of her father at
their home at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing of May 13, and it is believed that
her mother also IS held answerable,
to some extent, by the Ramsey coun-
ty grand jury.
An indictment charging Miss Arbo-
CAST with the murder was returned
by the grand jury at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, and at the same time
secret Indictment was returned,
which, it is rumored In police circles,
is against the mother, who is now at
the family home under the care of a
trained nurse.

have kept close watch on the Arbo-
CAST home, and when Mrs. Arbogast
i was taken to the city hospital for
| treatment for the burns she received
in the burning of the bed upon which
her husband lay when murdered, the
police had several long conferences
| with her. Since her recovery to such
| an extent that it was possible to take
! her back to the home. 1t is under
stood the police have continued their
| surveillance Of the house, SO that the
arrest may be delayed until Mrs. Ar
bogast recovers completely from the
| burns.
Defense May Be insanity.
The returning of the indictment
! against the daughter Louise, who has
| been under arrest at the county jail
for some time, probably will result in
| an immediate investigation as to her
| sanity. It is known that she has been
| subject to nervous ailment for some
| time, necessitating her treatment at
sanatoriums several times, and 1t has
| been generally understood that If she
| should be indicted the defense would
| be insanity Miss Arbogast probably
will be arraigned this morning, and it
is probable that the first steps will
then be taken toward the appointment
of board to examine into the sanity
question.

Color Blind,

Three Irishmen were stopping at a
secondrate hotel, and one of them
imbibed SO freely at the bar that he
had to be carried to bis room, in
which also slept negro in separate
bed. His comrades, as a practical joke
on him, proceeded to paint the Irish
mans face black. In the morning,
when awakened by the proprietor he
got up and happened to catch sight
of himself in the mirror. "Oh, be-
tabers," he exclaimed, ''if the blamed
idiots haven't gone and woke the mig
ger by mistake!"
And he crawled back into bed.

WILL NOT PLEAD INSANITY.

Mrs. Emma Kaufman Will Stand on
Her Testimony in Former Trial.
Flandreau, S. D., June 6. - 1t has
been said that Mrs. Emma Kaufman,
the Sioux Falls woman who is on trial
here on the charge of murder, in con-
nection with the tragic death OF her
sixteen-year-old maid servant, may
plead emotional insanity, but this re-
port is wholly without foundation.
The defense in the new trial will be
conducted along the same lines as at
the first trial of Mrs. Kaufman two
years ago, when she was convicted OF
manslaughter.
Mrs. Kaufman may take the wit
ness stand and tell of her relations
with and treatment Of the young
girl.

The Speaker a Servant.

The speaker is the servant of the
house, says Joseph G. Cannon in the
Century. The speaker is elected by a
majority of the members, and he can
be deposed and another man elected
any hour of any day that he fails to
fulfil the duties of the Office as the
majority would have it fulfilled. And
yet there are men who profess to be
well-informed on public affairs who
tell people that the speaker is pow
er in himself without regard to the
majority. These people are not en-
tirely disineenous; they have method
in their misrepresentation.

MRS. kAUFMANN AGAIN ON TRIAL
Defense Will Be Death From Diabetes
Melltus, as at Former Hearing.

Flandreau S. D., June 9.-The Kauf-
mann murder case opened here yester-
day afternoon. States Attorney Dan
forth for the state outlined what he
expected to prove along the same
lines followed two years ago, when
the accused woman was found guilty
of manslaughter. The first witness
called by the state was A. A. Snashall,
the undertaken who removed the dy-
ing girl from the Kaufman house on
the day of her death. His evidence
did not vary much from that of two
years ago, although Aikens, for the
defense, gave him rigid cross-exami-
nation.
From the questions asked by the de-
fense it is apparent that diabetes nell
tus will be the defense, as in the last
trial.

Easter Facts.

The observance of Easter was not
instituted until some 300 years after
the death of Christ. The name was
taken from the ancient Anglo-SaXon
goddess of spring, Ostcrn, or Eastre,
whose festival was celebrated about
the time of the Christian Easter. No
celebration was arranged by the jew
ish Christians at all, but on the 14th
day of the month, Immediately follow
ing the vernal equinox, which was the
day on which the old Jewish feast of
the Passover was celebrated, the Jew
ish Christians celebrated the death Of
Christ, to them the paschal lamb,
Christ having died, according to their
chronology, on the date of the cele-
bratiOn of the Jewish Passover. The
celebration of the Jewish Christians
was therefore for the death and not
the resurrection of Christ. The gen
tile Christians, however, were not
bound by any Of the Jewish traditions.
Sunday being the Lords day to them,
they therefore celebrated the reSur-
rectiOn of Christ on the Sunday follow.
Ing the 18th day of the moon Of March,
the day on which Christ died. The
Jewish Christians thus celebrated the
14th day of the month, irrespective Of
the day of the week, and the gentle
Christians celebrated a Sunday, ire
spcctive Of the day of the month. IL
this confusion had not been resolved
by the proper ecclesiastical authOri-
ties we might have been celebrating
the day at the present time accOIling
to our individual religious predilec-
tiOns.
The early church was torn with bit
ter dissensions regarding this conflict
Of custom as to the celebration of
Easter Various attempts were made
to fix a stable day which would be OBJ
served by the church as whole, but
they all failed. Finally at the council
Of Nice, A. ID. 325, the question was
settled once for all, and the date now
observed throughout the Christian
world was established. Easter day
was then fixed as the first Sunday aft
er that full moon which happens on
or next after March 81. If the full
moon happens on a Sunday the follow
ing Sunday is Easter.
In France the year began with
Easter Sunday until the year 1864, the
date of Shakespeare birth. when
Charles IX. fixed Jan. l as the first
day of the year.

seem, however, that the Stork has
largely usurped this function. which
some persons will consider fortunate in

laid by the hare.

young men of the parish can catch
hare and bring it to the parson before
10 o'clock in the morning of Easter
Monday Ghc moon day., he is bound to
give them Il Calf's head. 100 eggs and
a groat, the calf's head being probably
a survival of the worship of Baal or
the sun as the golden calf"
The hare myth is of comparative re-

til the early sixties did the PreSbytc-

England was the last section of our
country to bend-or unbend in the di-

Easter egg was doubtless laid by a
barnyard hen in the round of her daily
household duties and bought at the

Easter Customs,

In Russia it Is considered no crime
to be found intoxicated during Easter
week, even the policemen being often
under the mellOwing influence OF
vodka.
Egg racing is a favorite amusement
Of Russian, German and French chill
dren. The eggs are rolled down hill,
the prize going to the child whose egg
rolls the greatest number of races
without damage to its shell. In Ger
many tracks are made of twigs, down
which each egg may roll without inter-
ference from any other one, and the
boy whosn egg arrives unbroken at the
foot Of the hill collects toll from his
opponent whose egg is cracked.
