THREE PAINTERS.
The Story Of Murder Committed In
the Name of Art.


The Story Of Murder Committed In
the Name of Art.
Three painters, Andrea Castagno.
Alessio Baldovinetti and Domenico
Veneziano, received commissions
from Folco Portinari, the father Of
Dante's Beatrice, to decorate the
refectory and chapel of the Church
of Santa Maria Nuova. Baldovinet-
tt, seeing that the young foreigner,
Domenico, had brought to his work
new medium, watched him closely,
and, nothing daunted, he, too, con-
cocted a formula which he thought
the same as Domenico's, and, for
saking the classic tempera, with
which up to that time all Floren-
tines had painted, he covered his al
lotment with figures done SO that
they were most beautiful for a
short time, but soon faded away.
This departure caused the jealous
and intollerant Andrea Castagno to
ridicule poor Baldovinetti, but in
his heart he was sore over the tri-
umph of the young boy Venetian,
and he determined to find out the
secret of his medium. To this end
he made friends with Domenico and
suggested that, since they were en-
gagged upon the same work, they
might conveniently share lodging.
Castagno, who was known to be Of
a morose and surly disposition, as
tonished people by his change Of
manner. He learned to play the
lutte, in which art Domenico was
also an expert, and, donning the
jaunty habit of a Florentine dandy,
the two went about serenading and
taking part in the gay pranks Do
menico had learned in Venice. But
the secret of the medium remained
unknown, and Andrea was only able
to discover that Domenico ground
his colors in oils.
As Domenico's pictures neared
completion they attracted more and
more notice for their brilliant lus-
ter, which seemed to make the flesh
of men and women throb and pull
safe. His draperies, too, were paint
ed in colors which the tempera
painters could not produce. All
Florence went mad over Domenico,
and Andrea was forced to listen to
the praise and admiration poured
out for Domenico while he worked
unnoticed upon his 'Iast Supper"
on an adjoining scaffolding. Andrea
was much the greater artist. This
was conceded. His drawing was
more perfect, but for the moment
no lines could make up for the bril-
liant color which Domenico pro-.
duced.
Andrea grew more gay, more aft
fectionate in his treatment of Do
menico, and the latter, suspecting
nothing, opened his heart to the
older man. One evening when, as
usual, Domenico took down his lutte
and threw his long cloak across his
shoulder preparatory to stroll he
called to Andrea in vain. An ex-
cuse that commission of some mo-
ment had to be completed and the
lateness of the hour finally satisfied
Domenico, who went off alone. He
had scarcely left the door when An
drea dashed out and, sinking along
a dark alley, met Domenico at
street corner. Crashing into him
and SCATTERING the lutte, he Drained
him with a plummet which he had
snatched from his designing table.

From the Pioneer


A disposition in the case OF Mar
tina Mullen against E. W. Gidlof was
taken in this city last Tuesday by
Attorneys Alvord for the defense
and G, f, Morris for the plaintiff.
The object of the disposition was to
obtain discovery under oath OF the
facts upon which the plaintiff based
her alleged cause of action. This
action is one for damages alleged to
have resulted to plaintiff while driv-
ing horse owned by the defendent
between this city and Port Wing.
Elmer Dahlgren, of this city, a
young man who has been cripple
since childhood. was taken down to
Almena for treatment by DIR. Till
last week, and he came home last
Wednesday feeling much encouraged
by what the doctor told him. The
Y. P. S. G. E. of the Congregational
church have taken an interest in the
case and it was largely through their
efforts that he was able to go. ..
f. Hardness and two of his sons
went down to Almena for treatment
and they took care of the crippled
Young man on the trip.
T. N. Okerstrom, the Port Wing
Lumberman, was in town last Tues
day with car load of draft horses
which he shipped to Duluth to sell.
These horses Mr.. Okerstrom used in
his logging operations during the
past winter, but now he has not
enough work for all of his teams.
hence his desire to get rid OF them
before they ''eat their heads off. /"
Last week the bill introduced in
the legislature creating new town
out of Township 48, Range 8, was w
before the Committee on Town and
County Organization, and arguments
were made for and against the meas
ure, The decision of the committee
was withheld and it has not beer
rendered as yet. However, Judg'
Sauve, who made the argument a
gainst the creation of the new town,
received message from Madison ;
day or two ago to the effect that thu
committee will report the bill fol
indefinite postponement, thus killing
the measure. The report, he believes
can be relied upon.
M. G.. Helmer, manager Of the Irol
River Hardware Company, returned
last Tuesday evening from Ho
Springs, Ark, where he spent sever
al weeks for the benefit of his health
He says that he was benefited BY
sojourn at the Springs, and certain
ly his appearance would indicate
that such was the case. Mrs. Hell
mer returned home with him, aftel
visiting with relatives and friends il

profession he must toll for. but a wo-

Translucent Oyster Shells.
On the west coast Of India is
found species of oyster, Placuna
placenta, whose shell consists of a
pair of roughly circular plates about
six inches in diameter, thin and
white. In the early days of English
rule in India the shells were en-
ployed for window panes. Cut into
little squares, they produced very
pretty effect, admitting light like
frosted glass. When the Bombay
cathedral was built, at the begin
ming of the eighteenth century, its
windows were paned with these oys-
ter shells.

One OF the secrets OF the careful
fruit growers success in the famous
apple valleys Of the west lies In the
thinning of overloaded trees when the
green fruit is the size of hickory nut
or little larger. 1t costs less to pick
a green apple than ripe one and as
tree has capacity to bring only given
weight OF fruit to proper maturity, the
grower secures in increased size what
he loses In number of apples. with the
result that at harvest time he has ap-
pies of much larger size and superior
quality, and these two things mean an
increased return.
