SS aa i armen = Ann BRAINS DAUGHTER TO SAVE SICK WIFE lowa Man Declares It Is the Best Deed He Ever Did in His Life —Has No Regret. IS RESULT OF FAMILY “ROW Manson, Iowa, Sept. 1. — J. M. Brown, aged seventy years, Saturday brained his handsome daughter-in-law in her home here. His weapon was an Indian club, and to the officers to whom he surrendered he expressed satisfaction at his act and claimed that he had acted solely in defense of the life of his invalid wife. He ex- claimed: “It’s the best deed I ever did in my life, and I do not regret it. They can do what they like with me now.” Lived With Daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, father and mother of Gen. G. Brown, have made their home with their son for several years. Their relations with their daughter-in-law have always been stormy. It is claimed she attacked her mother-in-law a year ago and the woman is still in bed as a_ result. George Brown is at present at Col- orado Springs, dying of consumption. He owns a business block and a fine home, and his wife was counted among the handsomest women in Manson. Saturday morning an argument start- ed between father and daughter-in- law. “When George comes home I think we will pull out,” he remarked. Kill Old Woman. “All right, but I’ll kill the old wom- an by that time,” she replied, accord- ing to the story told by Brown. She started to go up to the room where the aged woman was in bed, and Brown evidently thought she in- tended to carry out her threat. He went to the adjoining room, secured a large Indian club and started after his daughter-in-law. Her body was found lying across the doorway of the room occupied by the bed-ridden Mrs. Brown. Invalid Saw Crime. No one witnessed ‘the killing but the invalid, Mrs. Brown, who was found with the bedclothes over her head, crying bitterly. Brown was next seen walking down the sireet, where he calmly remarked to an ac- quaintance that he had killed his daughter-in-law and was glad, as she would fiever come between him and his wife again. He was arrested soon after and showed no sign of regret. The murdered woman was a Fort Dodge girl, who married Brown fifteen years ago. TWO GO DOWN IN LAKE. S. Thayer Bass of St. Paul and W. D.

Cholera Is Epidemic in Redwood County—Loss Will Be Large. St. Paul, Aug. 30.—Hog cholera has broken out in Redwood county, in the southern part of the state, and though it has been raging for only a few days two hundred hogs have already died of it. Dr. M. S. Whitcomb, secre- tary of the live stock sanitary board, has just returned from a visit to the infected district and says that the outlook is discouraging. The farmers have already suffered big losses as a result of the epidemic, and unless the quarantine measures taken by Dr. Whitcomb prove successful a large percentage of the hogs in the county will probably die, entailing the loss of a vast sum of money.

Nora Springs, Iowa, Aug. 30.—Dr. Van Amburgh of this county has been called to investigate a case of mali- cious mischief in which three valuable cows belonging to John Rodemaker, living near Bassett, have been mali- ciously slashed with a large knife, and it is probable two of them will die.

The authorities are investigating. EXPENSIVE SMOKE. Spark From Farmer’s Pipe Burns His Entire Crop of Grain. Perham, Minn., Aug. 30. — Thomas Mertz, a farmer iving west of here, lost his entire crop of grain by fire. He brought the last load up to the stack and then went to the house for lunch.

D., Aug. 29.—After a bat- tle with local officials and a posse, two robbers escaped at Tower City, in this county, early yesterday. One of the men is believed to have been shot by the posse, W. W. King, head of a mercantile company there, recently had a burglar alarm system installed in his store and connected with his house. He was aroused by it at 2 a.m, and sum- moned officers and neighbors to help him surround the store. Two men ap- peared at the door and ran in different directions after firing a fusillade of revolver shots. Citizens returned the fire and probably wounded one of the robbers, but evidently not seriously. The robbers obtained little money. They had tied up several hundred dol- lars’ worth of goods preparatory to re- moval before they were surprised. ee. THUG’S VICTIM FOUND IN WEEDS. Discovery of Aberdeen Boys on Va- cant Lot. Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 29. — Dean Ordway of Cleveland, Ohio, was found with a bad wound on his head in the weeds of a vacant lot in this city yes- teray afternoon.

La Crosse, Wis., Aug. 29.—Probably no other city in the United States can boast of a detective-mayor who has put an actual fear of the law into the hearts of the auto speeder. May- or W. A. Anderson of this city, defied and laughed at for a time, has the auto owners “going and coming,” and they are so convinced that he “has it over them” that they are going into court and pleading guilty without in- sisting that the city’s executive prove his case against them. His word is enough. He doesn’t arrest -— he doesn’t have to. WRECK NEW STEEL DOCK. Unknown Men Damage New Structure at Two Harbors. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 29.—The new steel dock of the Duluth & Iron Range railroad at Two Harbors and the ma- chinery used in constructing the dock was damaged to the extent of $15,000 last night by unknown men, supposed to be working’ their revenge on the American Bridge company for being what is commonly called an “open shop” concern.

St. Paul, Aug. 29.—Theodore Rou- seau, seven years of age, probably will not monkey with railroad torpedoes in future. He is now at the city hos- pital with a badly lacerated right hand. His injury, however, is not con- sidered serious. Nap Fatal to Thresher. Aberdeen, 8. D., Aug. 29.—Burt Bur- ton, employed in a threshing crew, was run over and killed by a separa- tor yesterday.

D., Aug. 29.—Dropping dead as she entered a church door to attend the services was the unusual fate of Mrs. Herman Schwartz, the wife of a farmer in this vicinity. It resort have heen inclined to doubt the possibility of such a thing, but yester- day every one of the 220 saloons and hotel bars were closed. It is said that this was the fourth time in the fifty-four years of its existence that a drinkless day had been experienced in Atlantic City. A bulletin posted at police headquarters yesterday after- noon stated: “Salcons all closed. No troops’ in town.” Another bulletin, officially signed by the chief of police, consisted of a card on which was printed: “In 1861 it was hold the fort. To- day it is Fort holds you.” Goy. Fort’s proclamation of last week containing his threat to send troops to the seashore in the event of a, further violation of the Sunday clos- ing law had its effect. Saloonkeepers and hotel men accepted the advice of the mayor and influential members of the saloon men’s organization, and* closed their places of business as tightly as they knew how. GEN. A. P. STEWART DEAD. One of the Last Two Surviving Lieu- tenant Generals of Confederacy. Biloxi, Miss., Aug. 31.—Gen. Alex- ander P. Stewart, one of the last two surviving lieutenant generals of the Confederate army, died at his home here yesterday. Although in his eighty-seventh year and_ suffering from the infirmities of old age, Gen. Stewart’s death was sudden and came as a distinct shock and surprise to his relatives and friends. Like the Lees, Gen. Stewart, after the close of hostilities between the States, gave himself up to the instruc- tion of Southern youth and served from 1874 to 1886 as chancellor of the University of Mississippi.

The Minnesota River Improvement league held a meeting in Henderson, attended by seventy-five delegates, representing most of the thirty-four counties that it is sought to interest in the movement for the improve- ment of the river and for the reim- bursement of those whose land is sub- ject to overflow. A definite and practical line of ac- tion was laid out, looking to the in- fluencing of state and national legis- lation along the line desired. Circu- lars are to be sent to all farmers in the valley, whose land was overflowed this year, with a request that they fill out the amount of their loss and re- turn it to the secretary. This infor- mation will be presented to the next legislature, in’ connection with a re- quest for assistance. A proposition was made and met with general favor to have a law pass- ed assessing or taxing the land re- claimed by the county ditches, the proceeds to be used to reimburse those whose land is overflowed. This is based on the assumption that the county ditches are the cause of the high water and not the excessive rain- fall and almost unprecedented storms of this summer. The league decided to seek the im- provement of the river channel, so that it shall carry off the water faster and allow navigation, and federal as- sistance, as well as_ state, will be sought to this end. It was decided to hold the next meeting at New Ulm Sept. 29, when a special train will be secured to gath- er up the delegates throughout the river valley and return them to their homes. The meeting following will be held at Shakopee, and the next one at Mendota. It is proposed to meet about once a month until after the legislature has met. DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL BODY. Senator Works Names Men Who Will Be in Active Charge of Campaign. Senator Works of Mankato has named the ten Democratic committee- men-at-large authorized at the state delegate convention held in St. Paul last June. The selection, including the members from the congressional district, are as follows: Committee-at-Large—Edward Lees, Winona; H. A. Paterson, Blue Earth; Frank A.

Twenty Drainage Ditches Now Being Constructed in State. Work on new drainage ditches is rapidly nearing completion, and will be finished by the end of the present season, according to George A. Ralph, state drainage engineer, who has just returned from a tour of investigation of all the drainage ditches in the state now under construction. There are twenty state ditches under way in dif- ferent parts of the state. Special attent#on has been given to the improvement of the Roseau river. Since the earliest known times it has overflowed its valley every spring or early summer, destroying thousands of acres of grain fields. The ditches now under construction, when com- pleted, will remedy ail this. Mr. Ralph investigated the possibili- ties of preventing overflows in the Embarrass river valley in the iron range. The Embarrass river at some places runs through rocky gorges, causing rapids and producing back- water which has every spring flooded the valley and hampered the farmers. The valley has, as a_ result, gained a bad name for agricultural purposes and has been under little cultivation during recent years. The farmers there lately appealed to the state drainage engineer for help. SEEK TO SERVE PEOPLE. There Are 116 Candidates This Year| Against 84 Four Years Ago. There are 116 filings for office with , the secretary of state. There are fil- ings by men who are voted for in more than one county and whose fees are received by the state for disbursement among the various counties in the dis- tricts. - Four years ago, when elective condi- tions were comparable to those this year, there were only eighty-four who wanted office. MADE LONG TRIP. ‘Tax Commission Returns From Visit to Thirteen State Capitals. Members of the state tax commis- sion returned to St. Paul from a three weeks’ tour of the capitals of the prin- cipal states of the Union, where they investigated and studied the methods Of taxation and tax collection. In all the commission visited thir- teen state capitals and traveled 5,600 miles, and from what the members gleaned Minnesota, in respect to tax- ation, is no worse off than its older sisters, In fact it is ahead in some things. All have taxation laws on their statute books, but they figure only in ® minor way in the imposition and collection of the revenues sup- posed to accrue from the same. President McVey of the board says the Eastern states secure more reve- nue from their inheritance taxes than Minnesota does, in the state of Penn- sylvania it being nearly $4,000,000, where Minnesota only receives about $150,000 a year. Of course Pennsyl- vania has more large estates than Minnesota, but nevertheless he thinks the revenue here could be greater. STATE'S EXHIBIT FINE. Minnesota Way of Treating Tubercu- losis to Be Shown at Washington. Minnesota will have an interesting exhibit at the international congress for tuberculosis which will convene in Washington Sept. 21 and be in session three weeks. The exhibit is being prepared under the direction of the state board of health, and Dr. Christo- pher Egan will be in charge. It will include plans and photographs of the new Thomas hospital in Minneapolis, the largest tuberculosis hospital in the state, and also of Hopewell, the tuber- culosis hospital established by the board of charities and correction of Minneapolis, models of the state tu- berculosis hospital at Walker, and the Pokegama sanatorium at Pine City, with illustrations of the state hospital for crippled children at St. Paul, in which about one-half of the patients are suffering from tuberculosis. STATE WINS TAX CASE. Western Union Has to Pay $40,564.07 on Property. The state of Minnesota was award- ed a judgment for $40,564.07 against the Western Union Telegraph compa- ny by Judge Oscar Hallam of the d%s- trict court in St. Paul. This is the result of a suit brought for unpaid taxes for the years 1901 and 1905, in- clusive, by Attorney General E. T. Young. The company contended that the as- sessment of $1,000,000 for each of the five years was excessive, and would only pay on $600,000, which it cons d- ered a fair valuation of its properties in this state. Judge Hallam stated in his opinion that the tax was not excessive and it rested upon the tele- graph company to prove that the a: sessment by the board of equalization was more than the value of its taxable property. CAN LEAN TO PREPARE FOODS. Mrs. H. S. Baker Will Deliver Instruc- tive Lectures at State Fair. Among the interesting and instruc tive features of the state fair will be a series of lectures and demonstra- tions on domestic science by Mrs. H. S. Baker, in the woman’s building. The subjects of her lectures will be: “Foods and Their Nutritive Values.” bination of Food Materials.” “Nutri- “Uses and Abuses,” “Dietaries, Com: tive Value of Materials Used in Sal- ads.” The department of agriculture and the universities of the country are rev- olutionizing the work of the kitchen and dining room and correcting the universal practices of the past. Some of their errors will be shown and proper methods given. Demonstrations will be given each day. LAY CHURCH CORNER-STONE. Methodists at Red Wing Celebrate Beginning of New Structure. The laying of the corner-stone of the new Methodist church was held at Red Wing recently. Rev. E. H. Good- ell, the pastor, had charge of the ex ercises, and remarks were made by B. B. Herbert and Rev. W. C. Rice. Both spoke of the grand old men who had laid the foundation of Methodism here among them—Crary, Soren, Mc: Kinley and Jabez Brooks. The ritualistic service of the Meth: odist Episcopal church was read by Rev. Mr. Goodell. : In the corner-stone was placed a tin box containing church records, an ac- count of the burning of the old build ing and the determination of the so- ciety to build the new church. FALLING, WARNS LAD BELOW. C. P. Jensen, who has charge of the buildings of Albert Lea college during the summer vacation, while at work | training some vines about the trellis of the third story, lost his balance and fell from the ladder on which he was standing. As he fell he had the presence of mind to warn a small boy who was under the ladder to get out of the way. Mr. Jensen suffered a dis located shoulder and his elhow was \ badly bruised.
