Topeka, March 13—The indica-| tions are that the candidate for) mayor, W. A. Bergundthal, and all the candidates on the “dry” ticket) have been nominated by the Repub- licans at the primaries for the city election. While returns are not complete from any precinct it is generally be- lieved that the “dry” ticket nas been nominated by majorities ranging from 1,000 to 1,500. The day was one of the finest of the spring and an unusually large number of women went to the polls, It is the vote of the women that Mr. Bergundthal and thy “dry” faction depended upon for success. The vote of the women was counted first in all the precincts and it guve the “dry” a big majority at the begin- ning of the count. The vote of the men is slowly overcoming this ma- jority, but the vote has been large and it is probable that the result will not be known until to-morrow. Interesting News of Importance.

Classes of Purdue, in Indiana, Fought Fiercely Until it Came. Lafayette, Ind., March 13.—The fiercest fought battle in the history of Purdue class fights occurred here to-night when 500 freshmen bom- barded with stones and clubs Colum- bian hall, where the sophomores were in session at their annual ban- quet, stormed the stairs and succeed- ed in breaking up the gathering. This was not accomplished until about twenty of the attacking fresh- men were more or less hurt. A riot call was sent in, but the score of po- lice who responded were unable to handle the rioting students. Not until the city fire department was called out and two streams of water brought into play did the freshmen disperse. The ringleaders, who filled a patrol wagon, were arrested, but all were released except H. L. Harmon. Most of the students’ injuries were received at the hand of the police, who charged the crowd, using their clubs, A half dozen of the students with bleeding heads were pulled out of the crowd by their companions and led or carried away.

Reflections of a Bachelor. New York Press. Not all men are bad; not all wo- men are good. The greatest passion in the world is vanity; the most powerful weapon flattery. There is no age at which a woman’s heart will not melt to the man who smiles upon her. Beware of the man who approaches you with the promise that he has come to do you a favor. It is little things that tell. A man who is facing bankruptcy and dis- honor with a courageous smile rill fly into hysterics when he he can’t get his collar buttoned. There will besome way of under- standing women when some one can explain how a woman will think a matinee hero is like a god, and yet have her blood run cold at the thought of her son being like him. Pastor Dead of Starvation. Toledo, O0., March 12.—The Rev. Charles W. Potter, formerly of De- troit, but for the past six years at head of the'Adams street mission here, and one of the best known charitable workers in the city, died to-day of starvation.

In 1900 he was nomi- nated for congress and was defeated by South Trimble. And now St. Joseph is to have a piefactory. Whether it proves a mint for its proprietors or notit should be a great thing for those re- ceptive up-river politicians who haven't been able to get their share of pastry. Anheuser-Busch |insane FARMER KILLS HIS FAMILY. After Murdering Wife and Six Children Attempts Suicide. St. Louis, March 12.—Adolph Krauss, a German farmer, living 21 miles west of St. Louis, near Bellefon- taine, to-night killed his wife and six children with w sledge hammer and at midnight was dying. It is believed Krauss suddenly be- came insane. He had the reputation among his neighbors of being a quiet inoffensive, industrious farmer, and no other cause but insanity has been aseigned. About 7 o’clock to-night John Krauss, his brother, happened to go to Adolph’s house to make a short call. The lights were out but the door was unlocked and this aroused his suspicions that something was wrong. Heentered the house and, upon striking a light, was horrified to fiud that there had been a terrible tragedy From all that can be learned Adolph Krauss entered the house some time this afternoon armed with a sledge hammer, and, without warn- ing, struck his wife on the head, kill- ing her instantly. Then, seizing his first child, aged 12, he likewise dealt a murderous blow. The other five were killed similarly, the last being the six months old baby. Krauss then placed the bodies side by side on the floorin one room. He then seized the hammer and dealt himself a blow on the skull, which fractured it and knocked him unconscious, his body falling almost in line with those of his victims. When John Krauss had discovered the tragedy to-night he immediately summoned the au- thorities, The bodies were taken in charge by an undertaker, but the coroner decided not to move Krauss who apparently would be dead by morning. Bellfontaine is a village in St. Lou- is county, 21 miledirectly west of St. Louis, Owing to its isolation further and more complete particulars are not obtainable to-night. Twenty-First Child Born to a Texas Legislator. Austin, Tex., March 11.—Repre- sentative J. C. Roberts of Ruanah received news to-day that his wife had presented him with his twenty- first child, a fine boy. Roberts is 62 years old and has been married twice. His first mar- riage took place when he was barely of age. His wife was only 16 when they began life together. They had eleven children and the second wife has borne him ten more. The house this morning passed a resolution asking Roberts to name his last heir after Governor Lanham, but he told the legislators that the matter would have to be referred to his wife for final action. A striking point in Roberts’s home life is that the children of his first wife are as fond of their stepmother as her own children; while she dis- plays the same maternal interest in their welfare that she bestows upon her own offspring. There are three sets of twins in the family, but of the six four are dead, having been born in their father’s absence, afterwards dying before his return. Roberts is intensely proud of his large family, which is one of the most numerous in Texas. The Other Woman's Fault. Springfield, O., March 12.—Joseph H. Gibbs and his wife were found lying dead in the main street of St. Paris, a village west of Urbanan, to- night by two young boys. Gibbs started out early in the evening with the wife of Jim Shebee, a saloonkeep- er. Mrs. Gibbs had been jealous of her husband for some time, and to-night as he and Mrs. Shebee were passing the village church, Mrs. Gibbs came upon them. Gibbs drew his revolver and shot his wife, killing her. Mrs, Shebee ran and Gibbs then shot and killed himself. Alame temperance advance hob. bled into a Joplin saloon the other evening to try and convince the proprietor that he was on the road to hell. While engrossed in his argu. ment a bar-fly stole his crutch and the thmperance man had to remain in the saloon all night. He hasn’t been able to explain satisfactorily to the local members of the W. C, T. U, yet.
