John Mckay, Well Known St.

ESPECIAL TO THE ENTERPR1SE.)
KELSEY, Oct. Is. John Mckay, IS
years, a we'll known and highly re-
spected farmer residing with his wife
and family about three miles from
this hamlet, was shot and instantly
killed about 8 o'clock this morning
by his son, George Mckay, 35 years.
No cause, further than the fact that
the son is said to have most un-
governable temper, is given.
Early this morning the elder Nc
Kay began putting storm windows on
his farm home. After he had hung
one or two windows, his son told him
to quit pounding around the house as
his mother was sick and the noise
distressed her. The father refused to
obey his sons injunction and the lat
ter drew revolver and fired two shots
into the body Of the aged parent.
Death was instantaneous.
Realizing that he had murdered his
gray-haired father, Young Mckay ran
to the county road and jumped into a
passing wagon. He told the driver
what he had done.
When news of the shooting reached
this place posse of citizens was or
ganized and the murderer arrested.
When told to do so he promptly turned
over his revolver and quietly submit
ted to arrest. When asked why he
had killed his father he refused to
make any statement.
About 1870 this ..fternoon Deputy
Coroner J. R. Grove, Deputy Sheriff
Arthur O'Dea, Assistant County At
torney Edward Boyle and A. J. Rough,
a craftsman, arrived at Kelsey. They
Immediately went to the Mckay farm
where they looked over the scene Of
the killing, questioned and subponaed
witnesses and had sketch of the
farm home and the grounds made by
Craftsman Rough. Deputy Coroner
said that the facts were so patent
that it would not be necessary to hold
an inquest.
About o'clock this afternoon the
Virginia officials, accompanied by the
murderer, left for Virginia where
George Mckay will be imprisoned un-
til the time of his hearing which is
set for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Residents of this village and all Of
the farmers living near here are
greatly incensed over the killing of
John Mckay, who was highly respect
ed by everyone who knew him. That
there was a long-standing grudge be-
tween the murdered parent and the
son has been known for sometime; but
just what had inspired it cannot be
determined.

ANDREW NELSON
WELL PLEASED
Candidate for Congress Ayers
That He Will Unseat Clar-
ence Miller this Fall.

Attorney Andrew Nelson of Duluth
democratic candidate for congress in
the Eighth district Of Minnesota, in
which Virginia is located, arrived in
this city this morning accompanied
by his always refreshing smile
and exact manners. The fair
haired barrister of the Zenith City is
just as refreshing and soothing as a
spring zephyr. One must like him as
man whether they agree with him
politically or not
Mr.. Nelson is firm in the belief that
he will be the next congressman from
this district. He has nothing but kind
words for his opponent Clarence B.
Miller, present incumbent of the office,
'There is a noticeable lull in national.
state and county politics just at this
time," said Mr.. Nelson. However
what enthusiasm I do find is entirely
confined to the democratic slate. Du.
luth and Hibbing will give me grand
majorities. Just what I will be able
to accomplish here cannot say until
I have gone over the field. I will pol
p large vote in the country districts
lying north of Virginia. I already
have every assurance of this. Really
l am we'll pleased with the way thing:
are going and if I am not elected by :
handsome majority, I am going to b

inhabitants are full Of hate against
Austrians. Against these people you
should use the most stern measures.
All Servians found without uniforms
in battle should be shot at once. Any
eniency extended in cases Of this kind
will be summarily dealt with.
"'As soon as you occupy Servian
town you should capture all Of the

telligent inhabitants and if one shot
is fired from civilians on our troops,
al those in captivity should be put
to death at once. In all towns and vii
lagos search all the houses and in
those where arms are found they
should be destroyed at once and if the
owners are found the more prominent
inhabitants should be hanged in place
Of them-those who could give inform

sired.
"'More than three persons should
not be allowed to frequent any section
of street at one time Church services
should be prohibited as far as pos
sible and church bells should not be
allowed to ring. The priests should
not be allowed to preach any sermons
whatever and when services are al

GOOD BACKS FOR BAD
Cresco Residents Are Learning How
To Exchange the Old Back FOR
Strong One.

Does your back ache. feel weak and
painful?
DO you suffer headaches, languor
and depression?
Is the urine discolored, passages ir.
regular?' {.
The kidneys may be calling for help.
Weak kidneys cannot do their work.
Give them the help they need.
To cure kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
Use a tested and proven kidney rem
edy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test.
Convincing proof of merit in the fol-
lowing endorsement:
E. Herwig, barber, Mill St., Deco
rah, Iowa, says: being in a position
where 1 stand up practically all the
time. there is great strain on my
back. This strain weakened my kid
neys and l was troubled by an ache in
the small of my back. The :secretions
from my kidneys were profuse and l
was all tired out. The only remedy
that relieved me was Doan's Kidney
Pills. They are certainly good for
kidney trouble and backache."
The above is not an isolated case.
Mr.. Herwig is only one of many in this
vicinity who have gratefully endorsed
Doan's. If you back aches-if your
kidneys bother yor, don't simply ask
for kidney remedy-ask die tinctly for
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
