Mrs. Potter was chloroformed and when she regained consciousness and saw two masked men standing abov* her she arose and screamed la fright, only to be struck down by a heavy instrument in the hands of one of the intruders. The capitalist's wife fell back with a groan and for hours the doctor worked upon » her without restoring her to consciousness. The burglary, which was the second in the same residence within six months, was one of the boldest ever perpetrated in the ultra-fashionable neighborhood. The stately residence of the Chicago capitalist is well pro­ tected by iron bars at the windows, where thieves ordinarily would gain entrance, and besides a watchman es­ pecially is employed to guard th* prenlaea night and day.

It is KRUGER'S HO -ML as ex-President Kruger reaches Belgium he will find his fu­ ture home all ready for him. Thanks to the generosity of Oswald d'Aumerie, a Boer sympathizer in Belgium, the Chateau d'Anderlecht has been put at Ok* disposal of the refugee ex-Presi­ dent by Its owner. M. d'Aumerie has owned this chateau only two years, and when he bought It it was exceed­ ingly run down, but he spent money on it liberally, and made it look as if It really were an ancestral seat. M. d'Aumerie has had great sym­ pathy with the Boers all along, not be­ cause of any special hostility to Eng­ land, but because he believed In ob­ serving inviolate the sanctity of small nations. So, when it became Jcnowix that Kruger was on his way to Bel­ gium, the Belgian got together sev­ eral of his friends and fello^r coun­ trymen who believed in the Boer cause, and proposed to them that he give up his chateau to the use of the refugee. They were willing, of course, and so the scheme was brought about. Anderlecht is a pretty suburb south- of Brussels and consists of hand­ some mansions dotted about in Wmxm Boat* Pedlar Palmor.

Accidentally Killed Hie BrofMa A dispatch irom Bristol, Tenn., says: "King Campbell shot and instantly killed his 10-yeaxold brother while out hunting. King's shotgun was acci­ dentally diSeharjfed and the full load , .jEfBstrated .the bif % abdomen1 grounds of limited extent on the slopes of the undulating country. The chateau is reached by a drawbridge crossing a narrow moat, and the road leads directly to the colonnades which form the front of the mansion. The main gate is flanked by two oolossal busts, which formerly belonged to the CaAle of Gravesande. On the right of the vestibule is Mr. Kruger's ante­ chamber, which is furnished in Gothic Style. Here the ex-president will find a large Bible, of which book he is said to be so fond. It is more than seven inches thick, and was printed in 1772. The grounds have an area of ten acres, laid out by M. d'Aumerie, who also drew the sketch of the chateau and its surroundings accompanying this arti­ cle. There are two odd coincidences con­ nected with this gilt. Catholic monks built the chateau three centuries ago, and now it will shelter the ex-presi­ dent of a Protestant republic, who is a descendant of the Huguenots. Besides this, the chateau once was occupied by King Leopold I., who slept In th* same bedroom which is assigned to Mr. Kruger. finAJVUV>AruVUVA<VWV*M"A*ii^l^ eaaaaaaaaa^*aaaeinaaeeaeeaea*aesa York correspondent of Londofi l^imes.

Never waa venge­ ance meted out by a lawless mob in more deliberate a manner nor the pain ao carefully arranged. Chained to a railroad rail set firm­ ly into the ground in the outskirts of Limon, on the exact spot where his crime was committed, Preston Porter, Jr., or, as he waa familitrly known, John Porter, suffered the penalty for his deed. It was 6:23 p. m. when the father of the murdered girl touched the torch to the fuel which had been piled around the negro, and twenty min­ utes later a last convulsive shudder told that life was extinct. What agony the man suffered while the flames shriveled up his flesh could only be guessed from the contortions of his face and the cries he gave from time to time. The executioners, who num­ bered about 300 citizens of Lincoln County, had not the least semblance of the ordinary mob. Their every act was deliberate and during all the pre­ parations as well as throughout the sufferings of the negro hardly an un­ necessary word was spoken. Preston Ported did not seem to realize the awful punishment that he was des­ tined to undergo. As he had exhibited Indifference to t^e enormity of his crime, so he seemed to lack all under­ standing of its terrible conaequenee. <8ome of the men wanted him stripped to nakedness before the match waa applied. The majority voted against this, and it was not done. While he waa standing in the crowd the negro was surrounded by men from all parts of the state. They asked him for pages from his Bible. He gave them, and was generous in the extreme. Leaf by leaf the Bible was torn apart and the sheets crammed into the pocketa of the relic seekers. Before the fire was satrted the rope which held the negro by the neck was almost entire­ ly cut up. The man holding it was genorous, too, and he allowed all woh wished to cut small piceseSHRDLUUN wished to cut small pieces from it. These were all the souvenirs to be obtained, as naught but ashes was left of the murderer's body. Kero­ sene oil was applied to the wood, and after a brief pause Robert D. Frost, the father of little Louise Frost, whose cruelly mutilated body was found a week ago on that same spot, applied a match. For a moment but a little flickering flame arose. Then the oil biased up, sparks flew Into the air, and the wood began to crackle. Al­ most Instantly the negro's trousers caught fire. Even though the flesh must have been scorched, he did not utter a sound. The flames crept slow­ ly upward on his clothing^, the sparks flew up in a colud of pale smoke. Por­ ts rturned his head, and a frightful expression changed his face. With a sudden convulsive tugging he stretched his head aa far from the rapidly in­ creasing flames aa possible and uttered a cary of pain. "O, my God, let me go, men. I've got something more to tell you. Please let me go. O, my God, my God!" The mob was pitileas. The remains were burned to ashes. Secretary Root In Havana. EUhu Root, United States secretary of war, arrived at Havana on the liner Morro Castle, which left New York Saturday afternoon.

The woman has been known locally as a crank, but hitherto She has not been regarded as mad enough to be placed in an asylum. The physicians have decided that she is suffering under the delusion that ah* is being persecuted. The ieda that her act was in any way connected with anarchism has been finally aban­ doned. ' Suicide of jr. X. lEItsoa. James E. Kltson, formerly one of the proprietors of the Kitson stock firm near Chestnut Hill, Pa., and a son of Commodore Witson of St Paul, com­ mitted suicide by shooting himself with a Winchester rifle. Kitson did not make his appearance at breakfast, and when search was made his body was found In his bedroom. Ill health 1a believed to have prompted him to take his life. Commodore Kitson In 1882 purchased from Aristldes Welch the Erdenhelm stock farm at Chestnut Hill, one of the most noted establish­ ments of its kind in the world. In 1888 the commodore died, and five years later his heirs sold the property sad It was divided into building lots. Mooslffnore Capel's Inoomo. Monsignore T. J.

NORMAL SCHOOL THE NEW IOWA E E E E E E i E E E jS£M»EJSlE- Ci fCE V y4Sp The corner stone of th* new state normal school building of Iowa was laid at Cedar Falls with formal exer­ cises. The principal address was de­ livered by Rev. Mr. Kaye of Oskaloosa and the historical review of the insti­ tution was given by Professor D. EL Wright, one of the original corps of Instructors and the present head of th* Madman la the Pulpit. During services at the First A. M.
