During the year 1910 there were
587 births in the county of Blue
Earth, and 800 deaths, or a gain in
population from natural causes of
t2S7. The only towns showing a less
number of births than deaths were
Eagle Lake, South Bend and Vernon
Center village. In the latter village
the stOrk came but once during the
entire year, while the black wing
ed angel made four trips. Mankato
township showed the most prolific
population, with Decoria a close sec
Ond. No township or village escaped
the grim reaper. Shelby had but
two deaths and Amboy but three,
and each of these places showed a
net gain of ten. Decoria and Medo
each recorded a net gain of twelve,
and MankatO township led in this
regard with sixteen to the good.
MedO made a net gain of fourteen.

TUARY-HELEN HANNAY.

A great sorrow has come to the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Han
nay of Vernon Center township in
the death of their eldest child,
Helen. A wider circle of relatives
mourn the loss of this dear child
a far wider circle yet-even the
whole community, offers their affec-
tionate and earnest sympathy to
these friends so sorely stricken.
The suddenness Of the death greatly
added to the pain and loss. She
being in school one day and died
the next. Verifying the saying
That in the midst of life we are
in DEATH" The, earthly chapter of
this young life has been closed by
death, but never from love or men,
ory.
The empty place in the home can
only be filled by Him who made it
empty. The history of this short
life is soon told. Born January 1S,
1901, she died March 80, 1911. These
two dates bound the earthly life, but
not her influence. 1t still lives.
Helen was an unusually interest
ing and dutiful child-bright and
sunny in disposition, beautifully SIM
pie in her actions, kind and affec-
tiOnate to others, she naturally won
for herself kindly consideration
from all who knew her. But strange
to us, God in His infinite wisdom
and love, has been pleased to trans
plant this tender plant, taking her
from the scenes and associations of
earthly life to himself, there to
dwell forever and to grow fand de-
velop through the eternal ages.

Alfred E. Void, the slayer of Min.
ME Wagner at Minneapolis last
Tuesday night, formerly resided on
Blue Earth street, in West Mankato,
and was employed at the Kuehne
wagon factory for several years,
quitting that institution on July IA,
1906
Void followed up his crime of
murder by shooting himself, firing in
to his own body a bullet that caused
his death shortly afterward
Void was divorced from his wife,
but this separation took place after
the couple left Mankato. When they
resided here Mr.. and Mrs. Void got
along very nicely, so friends say.
Mrs. Wold's maiden name was Rim.
kel, and her mother resides at
Klossner, near New Ulm. The
mother of Void died at the poor
farm here two years ago. He has
a brother living in South Dakota.
Void was infatuated with Miss
Wagner and was jealous of her.
She had repulsed him and he was
thrown into fit of madness The
murder and suicide occurred at the
home of Miss Wagner's brother-in-
law, C. A. London, 2700 Thirty-sec-
ond street, Minneapolis. The girl
was from ST. Cloud and she. had
been employed as a telephone opera
in hn Wi IN off l,D
Flour City.
Void was employed as street
car conductor. He had lived in Min
neapolis but few years. After leav-
ing MankatO he went to the north
ern part of the state. About a year
ago he visited friends here.
During his residence in Mankato
Void was regarded as quiet, un-
assuming young man. His crime, pre-
meditated, for a year, has startled
his friends and acquaintances.
Void left behind a written state
ment in which he admitted that the
Staying of the girl and himself had
been in his mind for at least a year.
Hard-Hearted Son Was Alfred E.
Void, Slayer of Girl.
James Mullin, superintendent of
the poor farm, stated to The Free
Press today that more than two
years ago the mother of Alfred E.
Void, who shot and killed a girl in
Minneapolis and then ended his own
life, was an inmate at the poor
farm.
Once she expressed a wish to go
and live with her son in Mime
apolis. Mr.. Mullin acceded to the re-
quest and accompanied the old lady
to Wold's home in the Flour City.
Mrs. Void was willing the old lady
should remain in their home, but
Void would not permit such an ar
rangement and cruelty ordered his
wife to return with his mother at
once to Mankato.
Mr.. Mullin stated that he never
witnessed anything SO hard-hearted
as when Void refused to allow his
own mother to remain even one
night in his home The old lady
died at the poor farm about two
years ago.

dents of the Parochial School.
From Fridays Daily.
This afternoon all of the school
children of the German Catholic
parOchial school assembled in the
strong, and listened to an address
by John ii. HOhmann on civic i'm
provement. Mr.. HOhmann spoke
along the same lines that the speak
ers did in the various public schools
and the normal last week, speaking
particularly of the good that would
result from cleaning up the front
lawns, back yards and alleys, the
planting of flowers and shrubs, and
the beautifying of private premises
and the city in general.
In addition to the prizes offered
by the Civic Improvement league,
the parish will offer prize to the
boy and the girl in the parish who
close of the season. This will help
to stimulate the children in their
efforts.
Mr. Hohmann, in his address, urg-
ed all of the children to become
members of the Junior Civic league,
which can be done by paying five
cents. Each member gets a button
and a packet of flower and yege-
table seeds free. The parents should
permit their children to join, as the
expense is so small and the pleasure
to be derived is so great.
