A LOVER’S VENGEANCE. Double Murder and Suicide Follow a Rejected Suit Montgomery, Minn., Feb. 25.— The most terrible tragedy in the history of Lesuer county occurred four miles south of here last even- ing. Thomas Lindia and Frank Weaver were both in love with Miss Lizzie Washa. The girl favored the suit of the latter and the former threatened to murder her if she did not cease receiving the attentions of Weaver. The girl refused to listen to Lindia and ordered him to quit eoming to her father’s house. Noth- ing further came of the matter until last evening about 7 o'clock, when Weaver and Miss Washa appeared at the door of her parent’s house on their way to a party to take place at a neighbor's. The young lady ran out on the walk as her escort closed the door, when Lindia arose bebind a lilac bush and fired at her. The ball struck her under the arm, but did not inflict a serious wound. The girl screamed and ran toward her lover. Lindia coolly cocked his re- volver and taking deliberate aim, shot her through the heart, the wound proven instantly fatal. Weav- er ran out the yard gate and down a Jane toward his own home, Lindia following him. A quarter of a mile from the scene of the killing of the girl, Lindia at- tempted twice to shoot Weaver, but the revolver failed to go off. Weav- er then turned and grappled with his assailant, and a fight of several minutes ensued. The revolver fell to the ground during the struggle, and Frank Washa, the dead girl's father, ran to seize it, but just be- fore he reached it Lindia threw his antagonist from him, grasped the pistol and shot Weaver in the back, the ball passing downward through the abdomen, inflicting a mortal wound. Lindia then turned upon Frank Washa, a man 50 years old, and fired at him, but the bullet went wide of the mark and the old man ran into the house and closed the door. Lindia then quietly walked into the yard and taking a position at the feet of the girl who had spurned his attentions, put the revolver to his right temple and blew out his brains. A letter was found in the pocket of his coat in which he stated that he was of Bohemian birth, and Miss Washa, also a Bohemian, had prom- ised to marry him. She had thrown him over for a native-born American and he said he proposed to kill her and follow her to the grave. He said nothing about taking the life of Weaver, and this is supposed to have been an after thought. Miss Washa was a handsome girl of 18 years, young Weaver is 22, and isa native of West Virginia. He is still alive, but his wounds are of such a nature that he can live but a few hours.

The farmer is the innocent with whom the protectionists sport. He has been fooled with a mystical home market for nearly a century, and now he is informed that there are other welcome surprises in store forhim. He is tobe blessed with a duty on barley, eggs, dressed poul- try and nearly all other farm pro- ducts. His horses are to be protect- ed. Dear old farmer! How glad he will be to know that if anyone is foolish enough to import farm pro- ducts which are begging for a mar- ket at home the improvident man must pay a duty. And this welcome suprise is to make the farmer hilar- ously happy when he pays his taxes on his clothes, on his transportation over protected rails, on his dinner can, on his agricultural implements, on his house and barns. A few more such welcome surprises will ruin the American agriculturist beyond redemption. William’s Australian Herb Pill.

Senator Vance’s Grain Depository Scheme—Senator Paddock’s Relief Pian. Washington, D. C., Feb. 25.— Senator Vance yesterday introduced a bill to establish in every county of each of the several states a Unit- ed States agricultural depository, to be under the control of the treasury department, under the conditions that the average gross amount per annum of cotton, wheat, corn, oats and tobacco produced and sold in each county for two years previous should exceed $500,000. The bill also provides that 100 citizens of the county shall petition the Secreta- ry of the Treasury, requesting him to locate such a despository and to appeint a manager, who shall give bond for the faithful performance of his duties. The bill further provides that any owner of cotton, wheat, corn, oats or tobacco, may deposit the same in the nearest depository and receive thereof treasury notes equal to 80 per cent of the net value of the mar- ket price of the products. The man- ager ot the depository is to give to the depositor a warehouse receipt showing the amount, etc., of the de- posit, its valuation, the amount of notes advanced and that the rate of interest on the money 80 advanced is at the rate of 1 per cent per an- num. These deposits of cetton and other staples may be redeemed by the holder of the warehouse receipt at any depository by the surrender of the receipt and the payment in lawful money of the same amount originally advanced by the deposi- tor and such further amount as may be necessary to discharge all inter- est that may have accrued against it and all insurance, warehouse and other charges. The term of office for a manager of a depository shall be two years. The sum of $50,000 is appropriated to carry out the pro- visions of the bill. Senator Paddock introduced in the senate a bill to amend the interstate commerce act to provide relief for the farmers in the west who are un- able at present to market their crops on account of the high freight rates prevailing on the long haul, and which the railroads claim cannot be reduced without demoralizing all short haul rates under the inter- state act. The bill provides that the long and short haul cluse shall be amended so that in case of an in- vestigation for an infraction of that section the commissioners shall be obliged to consider cost of transpor- tation and facts and circumstances bearing upon the market value of the product is one of the necessaries of life, such as grain or the produce of grian and that upon it a justly lower rate is indespensibie in order to enable such products to be trans- ported to the market, that such transportation rates, so faras the long and short haul is concerned, shall be considered an exception to the general rule indicated in section 4 of the interstate commerce act and that the commission shall make an order accordingly. The amendment also provides that a long haul for such product within the meaning of the amendment shall be 500 miles or more by the route over which the freight is actually transported. Effects of Oho Redistricting. Columbus, O., Feb. 26.—The house passed the redistricting bill to-day, giving the democrats fifteen out of twenty-one congressional dis- tricts. As it now stands Butter- worth is thrown into a big demo- cratic district, while Kennedy, Mc- Kinley, Cooper and Wilhams are thrown into districts with democrat- ic majorities ranging from 1,500 to 3,000. Congressmen Grosvenor, Wickham and Thompson are left in republican districts. There was scarcely any opposition by the republicans, only one mem- ber speaking against the passage of the bill.

Towles, who has been elected secretary of the demo- cratic congressional committee and who was recently releived of his po- sition as chief clerk to the clerk of the house, will remain in Washing- ton until after the elections next fall as the campaign is to be directed from this city. The democrats say that with Congressman Fowler of New York as chairman of the com- mittee and with such an efficient and experienced secretary as Major Towles there will be none of the mistakes of 1888, when enough close districts were neglected by the dem- ocrats to enable the republicans to capture a majority in the present house. In the last campaign W. L. Scott, who managed things from the New York headquarters, spent enough money on one district in Pennsylva- nia to have carried six doubtful dis- tnets according to statements made here by democrats. &.The republican programme in the house is to go ahead with the contested election cases on Wednes- day. The first one to be considered is the West Virginia case of Atkin- son vs. Pendleton and the democrat will be pitched out in a hurry. It is also generally believed that Comp- ton of Maryland. Wise of Virginia and Elliot of South Carolinia will be removed from their seats in short order. An Absolute Cure.

A Strong Organizaition of Farmers in the State of Michigan. Fiint, Mich, Feb. 26.—The first meeting in the state of the patrons of ‘industry began to-day. Two hundred delegates represent the to- tal Michigan membership of 110, 000 farmers. It unquestinably promises to become the strongest organization of farmers ever formed Officers avow the intention to use all honorable means to control elec- tions. F. W. Vertican, the origina- tor of the order said: “The order is growing rapidly in other states and the next president of the United States will be pledg- ed to the patrons of industry. Let the republicans desert the farmers next fall by nominating a Detroit capitalist for governor and we will show our strength by making adem- ocratic state of Michigan.” The convention will consider many economic questions of the day and hold three sessions daily for three days. Protection vs. free trade, prohibition, the abolition of the tobacco and whisky tax, secret ballot, popular vote for senators and presidents, the government telegraph woman suffrage and Henry George ideas are among the topics down for disscussion. A Child’s Thrilng Experience. Leroy, Kan., Feb. 25.—On Sun- day a 2-year-old child of C. W. Ham- ilton,living three miles northwest of this place, fell 18 feet into a well of deep water. Another little child ran some distance to the dwelling and gave the alarm. The only one present was a young lady Miss Ham- ilton, who ran to the timber where an old man was at work. He said he could not do anything and the young lady ran more than a mile south toa Mr. Runner's, a farmer, who galloped to the well and found the child alive and with its hands and reck clinging to a perpendicular iron two-inch tube. The child was saved unhurt after being in the well nearly two hours. Merit Wins.

Black was hanged here at 11:14 o'clock this morning for the murder of Robert Burnett, an eccentric old ranchman, last May. He walked to the scaffold firmly and declared to the last that he did not fire the fa- tal shot. His neck was broken by the fall and beyond a slight muscu- lar contraction he died without a struggle. The murder was the re- sult of the disputed right to the possession of a ranch on the Saun- ders timber reservation, to which no one could obtain a title. Black oc- cupied it, but left it and Burnett moved uponit. Black returned and sought to dispossess Burnett, and in the dispute shot and killed Burn- nett in his cabin. With the assis- tance of Dwight Rockwell, a confed- erate, he then cremated the body in a gully two miles away. Black was convicted mainly on the testimony of Rockwell, who turned states evi. dence. Black and Burnett came here from Missouri, the former from Ray county and the latter from Me- ridian. Black’s mother, ignorant of her son’s fate, now lives in Davis county. The Administration Floored. To the Editor of the Republic. Jasper, Ind., Feb. 21.—The In- dianapolis Sentinel of Feb. 15, 1890, has a sensational dispatch from its Washington Bureau that the Ferdi- nand Post Office. in this county, has been abolished because no Republi- can could be found to fill the place of the postmaster. Ferdinand has 383 votes, all democrats, and is the banner Democratic township in the United States. There are no pau- pers in the township, and such a thing as a delinquent on the tax list is unknown. The township is very prosperous, because the inhabitants are all industrious and economical. The revenues of the post office of the town amount to $500 a year. Eight years ago the Republicans ap- pointed a post master of Republican persuasion whom they imported from another town for the purpose. In a short time the Republican felt lonely and joined the Demoeratic ranks. He was reappointed post master under Cleveland’s Admistra- tion and is considered a model post master. Is Harrison afraid to swell the Democratic ranks by sending a re- publican post master into this dem- ocratic stronghold. E. J. Kempf. St. Louis, Feb. 26.—A tornada swept through the southern part of Hot Springs, Ark., yesterday, carry- ing away fences, overturning frame houses, and doing a good deal of damage generally to other property. The old observatory nearly 100 feet high which has stood on the top of Hot Springs mountain for several years was blown down. The storm came from the west, and reports are coming in that its track between Wichita river and the springs is marked by wrecked farm houses, prostrated trees and general destruction of property. No lives have yet been reported lost, but it is feared that several persons have been killed and wound- ed. Carbondale, Ill., Feb. 26.—Mon- day night this place was visited by the heaviest rainfall that has occur- red in the last fifteen years. It rained incessantly until noon yester- day. A tornado at Bainbridge, 15 miles east, completely demolished the residence of J. B. Snyder. Sev- eral people in the house were injur- ed but not fatally. Several build- ings were blown from their founda- tion and badly damaged. Anua, Ill, Feb. 26.—A severe rain storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, began Monday even- ing and lasted until noon yesterday. The streams are swollen and the lowlands flooded.
