o LT MONDAY. APRIL 2, 1888, THE MAD WOLFS VICTIM. Willlam Chapman Chamberlain, of Texas, Arrives in Paris. INCIDENTS OF THE VOYAGE. His Horror of Water and Fits of Moodiness—Asked To Be Hand- cuffed—M, Pasteur Confident of Effecting a Cure. Under Treatment. [ Copyright 1688 by James Gordo Pants, April 1.—[New York Cable—Special to the Ber]—A reporter was present yeste at the double fnoculation of William Chapman mber lain, the wealthy ranchman of Brownsville, Cameron county xas, who has arrived in Paris for the purpose of being treated M Pasteur. This case, which is of unusnal interest, has already been adverted to in the Herald: How he was bitten seventy-two days ago by a wolf, probably suffering from rables; how he, accompanied by his brother, Bdwin Chamberlain, of Sun Antonio, and Dr. Arthur E, Spohin, of the United States marine hospital service at corpus Christi, galled from New York, has also been narrated. From Dr. Spohin this was learned: “Mr. Chamberlain's ranch is 120 miles away from my place. 1 saw him first on the cvening of March 12 and found three deep, ragged wounds on the right side of his face, while thero were scveral superficial scratches on one sideof the nose. Although trying to stamp out all the evil effects by applying car- bolic acld, two hours after his own cauter- {zation I determined, lest the treatment had been too superficial, to canterize him again. My technical treatment was of the nerve calming order.” “Did you notice anything before and dur- ing the journey?" “Almost his first word was ‘Don't mention water fn my presence He even told me to inform him if T saw any water around sotie might cover his head. He had not tasted water since the 15th inst. I excised the in- 4ured parts keeping well outside the line of demareation. The wounds are healing with- out further trouble. Just before the faint- ing attack would come on lis eyes became injected, the eyelids trombled and he would become unconscious and remain in that con- dition two or three hours and then regain consciousness and complain of being ex- hausted. 1t was decided to bring him to Paris and consult Pastcur. On the 17th he askod me to handeuff or tie him. He had 1o desire to injuro us but sometimes’ he felt he must give way. I gave him bromide 1reely. He could mot tell when this attack was coming on, but 1 could see a change in his eyes, which be- came very red. Then he asked for bromide and mostly went to sleep. On the 19th he had a very hard attack. I did not know it at the time, but he said after it that no one knew how he suffered and tried to control himself. At times he became despondent and would look his brother and myself in the eyes and refuse to respond to our solicita- tions. He would imagine ho was abused and must have his way in every respect or be- come terribly excited and abusive. When he came to himself again he apologized and asked us to pay no attention to him, as he _could not control himself. Another feature I noticed, especially on the steamer. He would go off by himself into some remote part of the vessel and there lie down and re fuse to notice anybody. As long as the vo, .age across the Atlantic was a novelty he wa all right, but he gave way the second da ;I Liverpool and London he improved. Here in Paris he has been ncrvous and despond- ent. Aftor the first inoculation lust night his pulse rose from 72° to 1102 temperature. 1 gave him two teaspoonfuls of bromide and he then slept soundly for two hours. I then avoided taking his pulse and temperature lest 1t might excite him, The assurance that there was nothing wrong had the desired offect ‘of calming him. So I take it that all these symptoms are of a nervously sympathetic character. I need scarcely add that the Pastour treatment has already given him a comforting assur- ance of preventing the dread discase. He not only hopes to be cured himself but to be "a Lying trophy to his fellow countrymen of the efiicacy of the discovery of the great French savant’s method.” The operation has been so often described that it is unnecessary to state what was done to Mr. Chapman, Dr. Pasteur said the case was undoubtedly a bad one. To begin with it is the bite of a wolf and a wolf suffering from rabies. There is no generic difference be. tween wolf and dog rabics, but the bites of the wolf are deeper and in this instance are in the face. “Another discouraging fact is the length of time we havo to fight and conquer, The hatehing of the discase is of uncertain dura- tion. Supposing that the term before the outbreak was at hand we should naturally be Yafiled, but as from fifty to sixty days is the average, wo hope to be a match for all event- ualities. Our proximate terror must, there. fore, necessarily be the thirt 8’ inocu tion. I have, however, every fuith in my treatment. Out of thirty it cases lat- terly, we have only had two mishaps. The first was a confirmed druukara who /meglected the treatment for several days; the second was a Ioman, who could not ne regularly, because the poor ercature lived at Colombes. “On the other hand, outof forty-four cases onoce treated but seven have ended fatal Mr. Chamberlain will have te keep quict amuse himself rationally, diet himself ina ‘mutritive fashion with good, sound, red wine, and avoid spirits. He had better, too, take an occasional bath. " WAs for the symptoms mentioned by Dr. Spohn, I think they are the offspring of & mervous temperament. The doctor's treat ment since tue bite has been excellont.” A passenger now in Paris who came over on the Alaska with Dr. Spobn and Mr. Chamberlain, noticed the latter's strango ap- pearance. The secret of the bite soon leuked Qut amongst some of the passengers although the scar on the cheek was explained away by saying that Mr. Chamberlain had been shot. The patient was watched but there was only # little innocent joking abovt the dun of a stray bite. Thero was nothing extraordinary about the appearance of the victim except a little outward moodiness which soon thawed i conversation and which was probably only shyness. Although littlc d, the earn- ‘est wish was expressed that Mr. Chambe Jain might go back to Awerica cured wy happy. Mr. Chamberlain is a handsome, swarth Spaniard-looking Texan. He mught be a Spanish matador or & Spanish priest. He s shirty-seven years of age. The cyes are bright coal-black. They were just a little bloodshot yesterday as he cutored the Tasteur institution, but he bravely stood for wawd when his turn came and bared himsclf for the stilletto-like wovement of Dr. Roux, v+ deftly introduced the necessary doso of V.. us, Bennett.] Herald Herald e GRANT-BADEAU, Comments of ths gaglish Press On e Controversy.

Probably this editorial paragraph from last evening’s Echo best states the average opinion expressed in London touching the ex-consul: “It would appear that no man's character is safe in America. but may be blackenad at riod, even long after his death. An illustration of thisis found in an attempt just made in the American courts of law by General Badeau to prove that he, and not General Grant, wrote the autobiography of tho dead ox-prosident, and that Grant, in fact, took credit for what he did not do. Happily, however, the courts hesitate to be lieve Badeau, and there is little chance of his winning the suit he is bringing for payment.” BISMARCK'S IXIVHTHI).‘\\'. 1t 18 Quietly Celebrated at Berlin— Other German News. [Copyright 1883 by James Gordon Bennett.| Beruiy, April 1.—<|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bae.|—~The kaiser this yorning rose refreshed after a fair night rest. His congh is much better, and the ex pectorated mucuous matter is seldom tinged with blood. The throat is looking better, especially since the expulsion of the morti- fied cartilage. The woather was decidedly cooler to-day after a heavy B- quently Sir Morrell recommended him not to walk in tho park, but permitted him to drive into Berlin in n car- riage, where he met with another loyal and enthusiastic reception from Berliners. This was after the palace chapel. On the way the kaiser paid his mothera visit of a few minutes, Arrived at the palace he was joined by the erown prince and princess, and hereditary Prince Saxe-Meiningen, whose birthday it is. The younger members amused themselves hiding Kaster eggs for Princess Feodore. The Kaiser entered heartily into the fun. The custom of hiding Kaster eggs from the children is an old one. 1t is also the seventy-third birthday of Bis- marck, who is in excellent health, and re- ceived congratulations during the whole day. People called to leave cards continually till a late hour in the afternoon. Papers of all ades of political ovinion have nothing but ulogies for him, ‘The prince was never at 8o great a height of general popularity as now. He s even more popular than after the Franco-German war. As expected the crimes of high treason, betrayal of the fatherland, and participation in secret societies of a treasonable nature are excluded from amnesty. The point most noteworthy is the royal clemency extended without exception to offences under the press Whether the cases now pending in law courts are included, depends upon the opinion in h case of the minister of justico. Universal approval is expressed at the royal decrec. CHINA'S EARTHQUAKE. Fifteen Thousand People Perish— Whole Cities Wiped Out. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett,| LoxnoN, April 1.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brr.]—The Oriental mail brings some particulars of the earth- quake in China just before Christmas, which has been cabled in skeleton. It proves to have been of appalling magnitude. Fifteen thousand people perished in the course of during which, at uncertain in- 1s, the shocks continued. This estin is to some extent suppositious, because i scarce possible, after so tremendous tion, to ascertain fora long while the exact loss of life. How many have been injured appears to defy computation yect. The capital district, Yunnan, is ab- solutely one mass of ruins. More than 5,000 persons were killed Dby falling houses at Lain, At other Chinese towns the effect on buildings has been almost as terrible with the additional horrors of the carth yawning till a frightful chasm was pro- duced from which water, red colored, was sjccted. The shaking of the earth seems to have been followed by a subterranean convul- sion of a most awlul kind, further north, at Lo Chan, where 10,000 met their doom. The aspect of the country has been completely changed. Large tracts of land have suddenly disappeared in the course of the visitation and in their places lakes have been formed. e e TheoDeath Record.

Both she and Mrs, Peterson have been carousing all afternoon with a couple of drunken, worthless fellows that any woman ought to be ashamed to be secn with,” “You lie, Mr. Lepard,” retorted his wife ang “you know they are B. & M. ofticials and are gentlemen, and if you only were like them we would get alongall right.” “Lizzie,” said Mr. Lepard, *you know you can't go with anybody else in this town as long as you are my wife.” {f5: w't lived with you for three months and wouldn't Live with you if 1 was kept in prison for twenty years,” replied Lizzie, The scene was in the police station, and two very pretty aud well dressed young women stood before Chief Seavey, charged with adulte while their husbands, Messrs, Petel Lepard, stood by urging the ion of the wives of their bosom. is said by the officers that the cause of the trouble are two B. & M. ofticials, who took the women out to a disreputable rondhouse north of the city, where they passed the afternoon, After returning to the city last evening, the quar- tette repuired to the residence of the women at 1110 Jones street, and after a short stuy were just coming out of the door to go to an entertainment, when the husbends suddenly turned the corner and walked angrily up to tho door. They demanded fiercely of the men what they were doing with their wives, and as they failed to give a satisfactory reason, Mr. Lepard proceeded to embellish the pliysiognomy of one of the mashes with his fist. The dude attempted to retaliate, but the blows of the wronged husband fell 80 heavy and fast that the railroad man as kuocked down, covered with blood. Meanwhile the other masher had sized up Mr. Peterson and decided that the safest course was in flight. He disappeared around the corner and after @ short chase Mr., Peterson gave him up. In & short time he returned with a policen whim both the husbands rushed up to and urged the arvestof their wives. officer lookod in astonishment first at the husbands and then at the B, & M. man and demanded an explanation, ‘Then all commenced to talle at on ad the confused ofticor decided that the shortest way out of the difficulty was to t both wives and husbands fo the central polico station, Wonle in the ited 1o know of Coi ) Wi nov souie way in which he could foree his wifo to live with him.

A Dead-lock Betweon the Two Houses On the Railroad Biil. THE SCHOOL-BOOK QUESTION, An Important Ohange Proposed In Criminal Laws--Bills Affecting Insurance Companies Dis cussed By the House, ndeavoring to Harmonize Differences Des Moixes, Tn, March 81,~-[Correspond- ence of the Bee.]—No railroad bitl has yet become a law, as there is - dead‘lock be tween the two houses on the senate amend- ments to house file 873, A conférence com mittee is hard at work endeavoring to. har- monize the differences, and ‘1t s quite likely that they will be successful. The senate . in- sts that all the different: routes between competing points shall be pérmitted to make the no rates, regardless of tho length of tho respecuive lines, which the house is not willing to concede, or at loast - to legalize by positive statute, THE COMMISSIONRR BILT, The bill providing for the election of rail- road commissioners by the people passed both houses almost unanimously, A strong and determined railroad lobby has been here during the session using their best efforts to convince the legislature that such a law would *‘force the railroads into politics,” and result in the election of commissionerswhose nomination was dictated by the corporations. The members paid very little heed to these objections and pussed the bill 1n accordance with the popular demand. THE TEXT BOOK QUESTION, The school book lobby hold the fort in the upper house by a large majority. The senate on Thursday killed the Finn bill pro- viding for auniform system of text books for the state by a vote of 14 to 30, The Harsh bill; which was adopted by the senate, simply provides for the purchase of books by each district at wholesale, prohibits any change in the series in use oftener than once in five years, and leaves it optional with each dis- triet to furnish school books and supplics free at the expense of the taxpayers. The house is much more favorable to a uniform system than the senate and only defeated a bill making such a provision by the close vote of 46 to 49, The Harsh bill, or a similar measure, will likely be enacted {f any law on the subject is passed. The democrats are almost aunit and are opposing both uni- formity and state publication of school books. Several leading teachers of the state are here in the interest of the school book publishers, and some have gone 80 far as to openly threaten to knife the members, politi- cally, who favor any measure calculated to relieve the people from school book extortion. CIANOE IN ORIMINAL LYWS. Mr. Teale, of Decatur, has introduced a bill and succeeded in pushing it through the house by o small majority, which provides that the state may take a change of venue in criminal case, a privilege which by the well established principles of criminal jurispru- dence is allowed only to the defendant. The bill is intended to prevent the repetition of cases like the Haddock trial at Sioux City. The prohibitionists are strongly in favor of this measure, and are supporting it to a man under the impression that it will aid very materially in securing convictions for olation of the prohibition taw. The bill will meet with bitter opposition in the senato, especially from the inal lawyers aud it is very doubtful if it passes that body. THE TELEGRAPH BILL. The house has passed a bill fixing ‘the charge of telograph messages between any points m the state at 25 cents for fifteen words o) and }{ cent for each additional word. This is in accordance with the gov- ernor’s message and passed by a strong ma- Jority. S v THE INSURANCE BILLS. The house is going for the insurance com- panies with a vengeance: s has measures under consideration to rest in their business, and has passed a bill com- pelling them in case of a total loss to pay the full face of the policy regardless of the real value of the property, It is said that such a law once drove all the msurance companics out of the state of New Ham, similar result is predicted in this state if the bill becomes a law. The farmer members, however, patronize the mutual companics very largely and this law will not affect these to any great extent. AUTOMATIC COUPLERS. 3 The railrond commissioner has suecceded in pushing through the houso a biil requiring all railroads in this state to use automatic car couplers. The blil provides that all new cars shall be cquipped with these couplers, also all cars now undergoing repairs. half of all the cars must be equipped wi these couplers by 1, 1800, and e car on the line by two years from that time Mr. Coftin presents an apalling list of fatali- ties that unnually occur from using the com- mon pin and link coupling and is pressing the measure with much zeal and energy. THE PRINTING BILL. The senate this week did a good thing by passing a bill providing for a reduction in the cost of printing and binding the public docu- ments. The snug sum of #100,000 is spent in each biennial period for public printing, and the ofice of state printer or binder has been at thing and looked upon us a ding papers for party service. This bill, which is certain to become a law, will cut down the above figures nearly one- balf and materially reduce the profits of the business. ALIEN The present | ND HOLDERS, does not take kindly 10 the ownership of large tracts of land by non-resident aliens, A bill has been passed by the house prohibiting them from acquiring or retaining title to real estate in lowa, and a memorial to congress has been adopted pr ing for the submission of an amendment to the national constitution prohibiting non-resi- dent aliens from acquiring title to any land in the United States either as individuals or as members of a corporation, THE RAILROAD COMMISSION, Theappointment of Frank Cammpbell, of Newton, for railroad commissioner, took everybody by surprise. He was not known to bé a candidate by anybody except a_very few close to the governor. The railoads ave not at all pleased with the selection, but may congratulate themselves that it might have been worse. Although Mr. Campbell was o member of the legislature in 1574 and took a promuent part in drafting the old granger tariff, it is understood that he has modified his views on this question somewhat; and is much more preferable to the railroads than President Kennedy, of the farmer’'s alliance. SENATOR WEIDMAN, Senator Weidmun, who represents Mont- gomery and Mills counties in the upper house, has created quitea sensation by declaring himself opposed to radical railroad legisla- tion, The senator is a farmer, and the dis trict st )m:lfi anti-monopolist, and he was supposcd to be in full sympathy withethe pre- vailing sentiment 1 that portion of $he state until quite recently. What peculiar*grgu- ments have been used to convart him fyoman active anti-monopolist to an-apalogist for rail- road discrimination aud extortion is a pro- found mystery. Rex. Temperance Legistation, Des Moixes, Ia., April 1.—[Special to the Bre.]—The temperance bill now pending in the senate is the only temperance legislation likely to be attempted this session. The bill has passed the house, and is made a special order in the te to-morrow. It provides for amending the pharmacy 18w ia some particulars so asto preven moking the drug stores in any s2ige the successors of the saloo fere was some disposition early L the winter to take away from dyuggists their present p; es of selling liquors for certain legitimate purposes, because wiuder cover of this privilege much was being sold for illegitimate purposes, but this would be a stev so radical that it would be sure to react, and the friends of the law were afraid to go to that extreme. So. iustead of providing for . state agents who should bhuve comclusive control of the sale of liquor, it was decided to retain the preseut systerm, making 1t more difficult to evade or violate the law. The pending bill, which is & substitute or compromise for the' extreme wcasuxes proposed, puts druge gists uader strict bonds W observe the law, requires th to m‘k‘ roports of all sales, and hedees them Wth many restrictions. It also forbids the, manufacture of liquor within the state for’ any purpose. This clause is intended to keep the International distill at. this place closed, hot _even permitting t manufacture of aledhol for export. An effort was made to amend that portion of the bill so a8 to allow the mantfacture for purposes not forbidden by law, butithe house refused to so amend it, and théwattempt will now be made in the sengte. It is doubtful if this can succeed, a8 4 caucus has been hel on the subject, and if party lines ar drawn, there will he po chance for the dis. tillery. For the firsf fow years under prohi bition, the distillery was permitted to run, under the beliof that the courts could not close it without terfering with constitu tional rights. Duritigthat time the demo- crats dragged the mntter into politics and charged the republicans with making one law for the democratic saloon _and another for the republican distillery. They sncered at republican attompts to onforce prohibi- tion, and charged the party with being insin- cere because the distillery” was allowed to run. At last the courts closed the distillery and took the burden off the party and now the democrats are trying to put it back. So on party lines, and party lines are going to be drawn, the distillery will have to go, de- spite the efforts of an active lobby that is trying to have it favored. e liiasion The Pullman Sleeping Oar Company. Des Morxes, Ia, April 1.—[Special to the Bee.]—There is some talk of passing a law to regulate the PPullman sleeping car com pany beforo the legislature adjourns. The attempt of the company to enjoin the exccu- tive council from assessing it for state taxes has exasperated the public mind greatly. This wealthy monopoly, which enjoys the protection of the state and the privileges of doing business within it, has always tried to shirk its share of the taxes. It has charged an extortionate price for its accommodations and given an unsatisfactory service besides. Now, on top of all the grievances which tho public has to bear, comes this attempt to es- cape from paying ' any taxes in the stat The legislature is strongly urged to reduco the Pullman charges to a decent sum, and compel it to conform to the | laws governing inn-keepors as to the liabilities it must assume, At present a passenger has to pay &2 or more for a berth in a sleeping-car and run the risk of having his watch or money stolen in the night. If his valuables are taken the company shrugs its shoulders and refuses to reimburse him, claiming no Tiability for losses. It is a little surprising that this legislature, which has been so zeal- ous in attacking other monopolies, has so far left this great and oppressive monopoly en- tirely alone. ——— Arbor Day. Drs Moixes, In., April 1.—[Special to the BEee.] —State Superintendent Sabin has fol- lowed the custom of his predecessors by an- pointing an arbor day to be observed by the public schools of Iowa. He has designated April 27, Grant's birthday, as the day to be observed this year, and he recommends that all the schools devote some portion of the day to a study of the character and services of the great soldicr, and then plant a tree in his honor. = He has accordingly issued a leaf- let containing a sketch” of General Grant's life, quotations from lys specches, and selec- tions from other well ¥own authors, that can be read or recited asmpart of the exercises of the day. It is not intended that the only trees planted shall lbl‘f honor of the special subject of the day, s suggested that thero be groups of trees, such asa poet's group, each tree being named after some American poet, or a statesman's group, or a soldier’s group, ete., cte. This gives interest to the children, and insures the planting of a large number of trees, that will live to bless gen- erations yet to comé.. The custom of cele- brating arbor day is.very beautiful, as well as practical, and Iowa proposes to kecp it up. il Des Motags' Boom. Des Morxes, Ta.,2APril 1.—[Special to the Bre.]—Des Moines ssams to be enjoying a veritable western boom. The presece of a hundred capitalists o, past week from Kansas City, St. Paul and Minneapolis, has quickened the real estate market into a very lively condition. These men came here as the guests of the Commercial Exchange. They came to lock the city over and if they found a good chance to invest, they would do so. They have been entertained with receptions, banquets, drives, etc,, ete. and scemed very well pleased with the ci They have been profuse in their compliments and’ predictions of the city's growth, and reatnoss, and as a pledgo of theirconfidence, have invested some monoy already, and will probably invest more. The visit has been a good advertisement for Des Moines, and busi: ness men generally seem to be satisfied that the city is to have a big boom this year. It has al 1y located three new manufactories, and expects to have mor A Satisfactory Appointment. Des Moixgs, Ia., April 1.—|Special to the Bee.]—The appointment of Hon, Frank T, mpbell as railroad commssioner, to suc 'd L. S. Coftin, secms to give very general tion to all classes. He has been a popular man in Towa, not a great man, but a clever, good nawured, hail fellow, well met of a man. He has a genial, affable man- uer, and makes friends casily. His record in the stato senate in the days of the granger excitement, fourteen years ago, satisfics the men of the same class now and they hail him as in sympathy with very radical reform on railway matt On the other hand, the fact that as president of the senate he ap- pointed a railway committee that framed the repeal of the granger law, four yoars after it was enacted, and the fact that he has had more expericnce in public life since, and is much broader than then, makes him appear satisfactory to the more conservative olasse: So as everybody scems satisfied for the pre ent at least, the governor can_ be commended on having wade & happy appointment. A Nice Point of Law. Des Moixes, Ia,, April 1.—[Special to the Bee.]—A rather nice point of law was re- contly decided at Newton by Judge Ryan, of the district court. A druggist in that county had been indicted for alleged violation of the liquor law. The evidence on which the m- dictment was procured, was taken from the ofticial returns which the druggist had made to the county auditor as required by law. The judge held that an indictment under those circumstances was a violation of the man’s constitutional rights, for he was being compelled to testify against himself, inas- much as the ports he had made to the auditor were compulsory and not voluntar, on his part. If Judge Kyan is sustained by the supreme court hig'dpeision will have an important effect upon theé enforcement of the prohibitory law. The Question Des Morxes, Ia., Bee.]—“When will t§e Jegislature adjour is a common questfy around the capitol, The house wants to adjoprn April 5 or 6, but the scnate will not by féady at that time. 1t has a large number 0f: special orders un- touched, ineluding the tgmperance question, the mining bills, the “ttust” bills and ot important _measure here are sever hundred bills on bot endars to be dis posed of, and it looks' as if the statesmen would beé here till the' middle of April, at least. o RABBI BENEGHS DISCOURSE. He Dicetls On the Tife of the Dead Kaiser, “Kaiser Wilhelm I and His Hebrew Sub- jects” was the subject ehiosen for his sermon yesterday by Rabbi Benson., The synagogue was evowded, and the rabbi, after referring to the many good deeds of the departed soldier and statesman, said: “When we come to test the character of his works by the restricted touchstone of Jewish interests, involving as they do the extremes of the great principle of religious liberty and equality, we have much to dep- djournment, 1.—|Special to the ‘cate upon the apparent acquiescence of the his chancelloy.

The Jews remember with gratitude the active part which the then crown prince took In denouncing the “Judenhetzo,” sot on foot by Hof-Prediger Stoecker, and they learned with satisfaction from the eloquent and sagacious letter which he has rocently addressed to Bismarck, that his liboral views will suffer no modification by his transfor. ence to a position of ‘less freedom and rosponsibility.’! ews of (lermany are amongst the loyal subjects of the late cmperor. y mourn his death, but in transferring their allegiance to Emperor Froderick they are actuated by the loving emotions of ing a rulor who_not only recognizes the right to the equitable troatment which the enlightened spirit of the ago has secured to them, but who also possess every qualif tion for successfully piloting frec and united Gormany on the prosperous path marked out for it by its now deccased but never to be forgotten founder. —— 1 STABBE! N THE NECK. Larry Oasoy Painfully Wounded By Bd Barwich. At 1:30 o'clock this morning City Physi sician Ralph was hustled from his warm be 10 g0 to the central police station to sew up an ugly gash in the neck of Larry Casey, inflictod with a knife in the hands of a man named Ed Barwich. Casey has been par- ticularly unfortunate of late, having just fully recovered from a melee in _which he had an _ear chewed off by his adversary. Between 12 and 1 o'clock th morning he was walking along Tenth stree and when near Capitol avenue he met Bal wich, who escorted a female, The man asked Casey if he did not want a drink, and this interrogation lead to hard words, which finally culminated in_ blows. It is claimed that Barwich made tho first attack, which was responded to effectively by Casey. Inraged over the outcome, Barwich drew a knife, and buried the blade deep in the neck of Casey, who made an outery. His assailant then fled, and threw the knife into the street. Block watchmen who were at- tracted by the cries of the wounded man pursued Barwich, overtook him and handed him over to Officer Ryan, who had him con- veyed to the station. The knife, coated with the blood of the unfortunate man, was found where the prisoner had thrown it. Casey, bleeding copiously and suffering in- tense pain, was removed to the station, where his injuries, which are not considered at all serious, were properly attended to. et WHERE GOOD INDIANS GO A Party Escape the Scalp-Lifting Sioux Through a Hole in the lce.

The broad expanse of the river was covered completely with ice, ex- cept at a bend of the stream where the bare spot was observable, and the tr; eler could see that there was an air hole through which the Neptunc of the Big Muddy would beable to get a whiff of This hole is the result of the swirling of the waters around the bend that exists there, and though the tem- perature gets down very low, the hole never closes, us the water never stays there long enough to get congealed. “That hole,” said an old trapper that I met on the bankas I was looking across to McLean county, ‘‘is just the same as it was ’88, though 'n course I warn’t old enough at thet time to seen it. But T hearn the Injins tell a good deal about it. In them days the Sioux Injins were allers in some fight wi’ somebody.

HOW THE PEOPLE LONG FOR IT. Opinion That the Department Is a Charity Dispenser—Public Docu ments and the Inability To Supply the Demand. Seeds and Documents, WasHINaToN, March 30.—[Correspondence of the Bre.] -Senators and representatives are now busily engaged in franking seeds and public documents to their constituents, Spring has opened, and with apring come what congressmen call the ‘‘garden sass nuisance. A visit to tho various committee rocms will find clerks and employes sur- rounded by mail sacks and hard at work in sending off sample packages of peas and beans with an advertisement of the agricul- tural bureau printed in the right-hand corner. Four out of every six members of congress are scratching their heads engaged in the perplexing task of trying to mako 1,000 small vackages of seeds do servide for distribution among 5,000 constituents, and in trying to ex- plain why ten copies of & particular govern ment document cannot bo readily furnished 100 applicants. The average citizen, unacquaintod with the mystorious methods in vogue at Washington, has little idea of the modus operandi by which scods and documents are put into cir- culation, or of the amount of each piven to the different senators and representatives. He has an indistinct idea that all that is necessary for him to do to get sceds enough to crop his farm, plant his garden or adorn his door yard is to apply for them at ‘Washington, The amount is thought to be unlimited. ‘ew are able to explain wher they think it all comes from, but many have a vague idea that the government has im- mense seed farms in connection with the Botanical garden where it ral packs sccds enough to replen rth, and that the amount furnished i limitéd by the demands of the people Nothing could be further from the truth. ‘The agricultural department does not raise its own seeds, has no farms where rare pota- toes, fancy tomatoes and Dolly Varden beans grow in the luxuriousness of a southern climate, and supervises no gardens where cuttings of high-bred roses, collections of po- tunias and begonias and immense beds of zinnias and foxgloves are cultivated for the purpose of their sceds to bo distributed throughout the country. The supply of secds which the department of agriculture is en abled to furnish cuch _year for distribution through congress is limited annually by the amount of the appropriation for their pur chase, The small amount raised in the ex- perimental gardens barely count for any thing. Last’ year $100,000 wus granted by congress for the purchase of sceds, and the same amount will probably be appropriated during the current fiscal year. Tho seeds sent out are purchased by the commissioner of agriculture in bulk, and are put up in small packages for distribution. The object of this distribution is presumably to obtuin reports as to the_value of the samples of seeds sent out. It s not intended to take the place of the sceds which persons pur- chase for their farms and gardens, and, of course, the supply would scarcely be enough for a single section of a large state if this aim were in view. Of the sceds so pur chased and put into packages two-thirds are apportioned among the senators and repre- sentatives, and one-third is retained by the department of agriculture for distribution direct, As a rule the packages are put up with fine assorted kinds of seeds in a single envelope, and this is the form in which they usualiy reach constituents, Fach senator and representative is allowed 1,200 of these envelopes, containing five small packages of garden secds, 400 little pockets of flower seeds, thirty quarts of grass seed and 250 packages of tobacco. With this amount ho is expected to supply ali the de- mands of his constituents, and when it is ex- hausted there is no method by which he can produre an increased quantit, One of our western senators the other day said in conversation that he had already re- ceived applications for five times the amount of sceds which had been given him by the ultural departwent and that they were ing in at a rate of from twenty to thirty a Tequests for sceds to take the place of crops ruined by drought, demands for corn by the cartload, beans and gar- den seeds by the bushel, and grass sced ecnough to sow a whole farm pour into the capitol every day from farmers who have no idea of the object of seed di tribution by the agricultural department, and who imagine that it is a great charity institution whose aim _is to furnish the farmers and kitehen gardeners of the county with seeds to take the place hose usually pur. 1 0f dealors and nu As @ rule the amount of sceds which can possibly be sent by members of css to any in- dividual is 1 1o do what the nded, namely, to poses only.

The folding rooms of the senato and housa in the capitol are very busy at prosent in pro- paring for distribution hundreds of thousands of copies of spoeches delivered by various senators and reprosentatives. Of Senator Sherman's speech on the president's messaga botween 100,000 and 200,000 copics wore sent from the capitol. It is the general improssion outside of Washington that the government pays for the printing of such speechos, and that they cost the members of congress nothing. As a matter of fact cvery spoech sont out from the capital is subscribed for and paid for bofore delivery by the senator or representative who distributes it. The price of the speechos depend upon the num- ber of pages, on & schedule based on tha actual cost of production with 10 por cont added. The costof such speechos averages from two to three conts apiece, depending upon the amount of tables and length of mat- rin the purchase of speeches and documents and in clerical hire necessary for their franking and mailing. Congressman MeShane, of Nobraska, has al ready expended £2,000 for the reading matter with which ho has plastered the state with his compliments, and the amount laid out by Senators Paddock and Manderson combined will probably not fall very much below what Mr. McShane has spont AW, iee Murder and Suicide.

Lxperience of a KFlorida Woman Wha Was Scalped by the Indinns, During the Seminole Indian war of 1837 there were times when the Indi- ans would cease hostilities in order to make their erops and prepare anew for the warpath, All the sottlers had to live in forts, and in putting in crops and_cultivating them some of them would work while others stood guard. During these cessations of hostilities some would return to their homes only to be driven back to the fort and some- times killed and scalped. Fleming Johns and his wifo returned to their home at what is now Baldwin, as the Indians had not been scen for some time. Barly in the morning John got un, opened the door and looked around. He saw no signs of Indians, and went out to cut some firewood. While cutting the Indians fired at and wounded him. He ran into the house and shut the door. His gun was onn rack. He reached forit, but fell from loss of blood, knocking off the hammer. Johns had no other weapon and was at the merey of the Indians, who ad- vanced to the door and begun, with the ax, to knock it down. Johns offered them his home and all_he had if they would spare his life. The Indians only l:lu;.:ho({ and cursed him. They broke the door down and shot him, and began to take what they wanted, ripping open the feather bed, pillows and bolsters, and packing up'all they wanted. Johns’ wifo looked on, every minute expecting to be killed and sealped. She told me they packed all they wanted be- fore they molested her. An old Indian motioned her to leave, but she was afraid to move. He took her by the hand and led her toward tho door. She looked back and an Indian was raising his gun to shoot. She threw her arm r her ey and he shot, the ball striking her” neck. She fell forward, stunned, with her arm under herhead. Before they got through scalping her she came to her senses, but feigned being dead. The Indians then sct fire to the house and left quictly. After they had been gone a time, and the house was well on fire,sho got up and tried to pull her dead hus- band from the burning house, and pulled him as far as the door, when she fainted.
