The natural and a cost of from twenty-five to fifty cents per barrel more than the price charged for Minneapolis Flour. The above is our honest judgment, but our customers have always the option of judging from is that when you see other flours advertised at a higher price than Pillsbury's Best, the dealer is trying to increase HIS profits at the expense of YOUR bread. their own experience, and of purchasing the one or the other as seems to them judicious.

The Three Houses of eminent standing quoted as recommending the product of a large mill, have never tried Swan's Down Flour with their trade, and are accordingly hardly in position to recognize its superiority over all others. Swan's Down Flour is made in a small mill, where it is practicable to secure a more careful selection of wheat than is possible in a mill making twenty odd the man charged with the murder of Minnie Williams, W. H. Theodore Du rant, a medical student, and a member of the California militia. He was away with his company, a detachment of the signal corps, on a trip to Mt Diablo.

A policeman was sent after him, he was arrested, brought to San Francisco and locked up on the charge of being guilty of the death of Minnie Williams. When arrested neither the officer nor Durant knew of the finding of the body of Blanche, and not until (he surging crowd which met them at the station told them the news by their angry threats df lynching, were either aware that the two crimes were laid at Da rant's door. Once behind the bars the authorities turned their attention to gathering and Joining the separate and disjointed links, which they hoped to form Into a chain to strangle Durant. It was not thought for a moment from the time the first bit of evidence was found that anybody but Durant could have been guilty of both crimes, nor was It for an Instant believed that more than one man was the doer of the two deeds. Marian Williams was pe tite and slender, and did not weigh 100 pounds.

She had been an Inmate of the home of C. H. Morgan, a manufacturer of coffins of Alameda, about eight miles across the bay from San Francisco. She was not a servant, though she had done a large share of the family's housework. Mr and Mrs Morgan loved the girl, and the man had told her that she could always he sure of a home with them.

The Morgans were preparing to leave Wash, Easter Monday, the furniture had nearly all been shipped, and the tickets purchased. Minnie had decided to make bor home for a few weeks with a Mrs Voy In San Francisco, and had shipped her trunk to the Voys house. She left the Morgans In Alameda about 2.30 In the afternoon of Good Friday' for the city across the bay. She went straight to Mrs Voy's, and In the even ing, at 7.15, left there to attend a young people's meeting at the house of Dr T. A.

Vogel, a dentist. She wore a turban of peculiar shape and a stylish sack. She never appeared at the dentist's house. The next morning about 9.30 o'clock a Mrs Nolt went to the church to assist in decora tic the building preparatory for the Easter services. She entered by the side door of the church, which was found unlocked, and sat down within 10 feet of the girl's body.

Misses Marian Lord and Katie Ste vens came a little later and the women began to make preparations for work. One of them had occasion to open the door of the little closet off the library, and there, crosswise of the entrance, lay the body of Minnie Williams. Her blood-stained face was hardly recognisable. On her breast lay the handle and a piece of the blade of a common table knife. So savage had been the work that te knife had been broken in five pieces, three of which were imbedded in the wounds in the breast.

The turban was still on her head and the cape had not been removed. arteries of both wrists had been severed, there was a long, deep gash in the breast, across the forehead was a deep cut which penetrated the brain, her bosom was bared, her clothing disar ranged, and the autopsy showed that she had suffered the worst outrage that woman can suffer. Even this fearful state was discov ered to be still worse, for she had died by strangulation. Three separate pieces Continued on the Second Page. Out Going thousand barrels per day.

Get only nooa oecaueo SAN FRANCISCO. Call, June 1 This city was again startled today Dy a most brutal and shocking murder of a woman. Today's crime exceeds In atrocity the mutilation of Minnie Williams In Emmanuel church. The victim was Miss Nellie Harrington, aged about 35. She was killed in the bedroom of her heme at 1017 Ellis st.

shortlr after 1 o'clock. After murdering the woman, the murderer set fire to her clothing and to the furniture in the room. The murder was discovered by Mrs J. G. Kel logg, who lived In the house with Miss Harrington.

About 1 o'clock the door bell rang and some person was admitted by Miss Harrington. No one saw who it was. Miss Harrington told Mrs Kellogg this morning that she expected some one to call about 1 o'clock, but did not say who it was that she expected. No one saw the visitor depart, but within a short time after the door bell rang Mrs Kellogg smelled smoke, and calling J. R.

Kennedy, who was out side, she accompanied him to Miss Har rington's chamber, from which smoke was Issuing. Kennedy burst open the door and a horrible sight was there. Lying with her head toward the door, with a bias ing pillow over her face and her clothing burned from her body, was Miss Harrington. The walnscotting and the rack full of clothes belonging to the woman were ablaze. Kennedy kicked the burning pillow away and stamped on the burning clothing and then extinguished the flames in the room.

The murdered woman's skull was crushed in and her head and neck were covered with cuts. Her Jaw was also broken. No Implement with which the murder was committed was found. It was evident, however, that a hatchet or an ax was used. She was apparently fully dressed at the time of the assault, but when found all her outer garments were burned.

Her underclothing was torn, and her stockings were ripped. Whether she was outraged or not will be disclosed by the autopsy. The room in which the tragedy took place was upset. Bureau drawers were pulled out and ransacked. The writing desk was also broken open.

An empty purse was found on the floor. There were several empty Jewel cases scattered about. It is evident that robbery was committed to divert suspicion from the true motive for the murder. Miss Harrington came here three or four years ago from Chicago. She has no relatives in this city, but she has two sisters somewhere In the Interior of the state.

On the murdered woman's finger was a wedding ring inscribed Inside, "From Joe to Nell." She was apparently well-to-do. Three bank books with aggregate deposits of $1000 were found In her writing desk. Her home was elegantly furnished. In a secret compartment of the portfolio was a holographic will which be queathed all her property to her sister. Chief of Detectives Lee, Chief of Po lice Crowley and every detective on the force were working on the case this af ternoon, but as yet there is absolutely no clew to the murderer.

DURANT CASS RECALLED. San Franoisoo Crime Revive Interest in Previous Tragedies. With clothing torn and hair dishev eled, with head hacked and body mutilated, robbed of honor and of life, lying in a pool of blood, the walls and furniture bespattered, the remains of Minnie Williams were found on Saturday forenoon, April 13, in the library closet of Emanuel Baptist church, San Francisco. Call. The public mind was shocked and dazed at the savagery of the crime, the police began a hunt for the more than murderer, and like bloodhounds ranged around the scene in ever-widening circles, till they had brought within the purvey of their scent the assistant superintendent of the Sunday school connected with the church, who was also the secretary of the Young People's society of Christian Endeavor connected with the same organization.

Hardly had the news or nis implica tion been spread than excitement was blown into frenzy by the news that the naked body of Blanche Lamont, a girl of 19, the friend of Minnie Williams, had been found, strangled to death and out-raeed. in the belfry of the same church building which had beheld the slaughter of the other. Blanche Lamont naa aisappearea on the afternoon of April 3, the second Wednesday before the death of Minnie. Just on this date began the succession of circumstances which toRI the people of San Francisco that among them lived a fiend who had committed a series of crimes which would pass into the criminal history of the world in the van of revolting and hideous excesses.
