On the right sido of his head, an inch from the temple, were a couple of bruises which looked as though they might have been mude by a pile driver. The blood was trickling down the side of his face, and altogether he bore the appearance of a man who wished he hadn’t been there quite so much as he had.

Jobn Anderson, the man who was arrested day before yesterday on a charge of insanity was brought before the commissioners yes terday for an examination. It was reporte day before yesterday that the caus o of his in- sanity was the fact that his wife had died a few days before, This report is found to be | false, and it is supposed to have originated |,from a remark made by Anderson to some of “the nelgb bors while he was in one of his fits, He was simply sufferiug from a severe at- tack of delirtum tremens. Mrs, Olson, who lives next door to Anderson on lower Broad way, said that Mrs, Anderson bad a child bout two months ago, and that it made the man so bappy that he had been “'setting ‘em up" to himself ever sirca on the strength of the fact. Last Friday his wife left him and went to live with a sister of her’s at Lincoln. Anderson was drunk when she went away, | and when he came to himself and found her missing he at once went to the neighbors and told them that his wife was dead. He also had an idea that his child was in the stove, and he accordingly procecded to take the stove to pieces in order to find the baby. The commissioners decided that Anderson would not be benefited very much by being | sent to an iusane asylum, and toey ordered that he be confined {n St. Bernard's hospital until he gets rid of the “snakes.'

Weduesday after- at the hotel for the past ten d in order to prevent any dis T that might arise from the | change of management, forbade her going up irs. She claimed that%er thiligs were up 10 hev room, and that as she was about to leave the hotel, she had the right to go up and get them ready to oe moved. She rushed past the officer, who was stationed on tho stairs in front of ner, and had gotten up several steps when the officer caught ter and carried her bodily down stairs. Mrs. Cragin called upon the bystanders to witness that the officer had laid violent hands on her, and then went to the office, by the advice of her attorney, Judee J. R. Reed, who was with ber, to get permission there to €0 up to her rcom, She was met by John N Baldwin, the attorney for the firm of Kimball & Champ, who finally gave her permission to #0 upstairs to pack 1p Ler goods, provided she would agree to leave the hotel'as soon as she had done so.

Notwithstanding the very disagreeable weather, a fair sized audieuce was present at the Boyd last evening, the occasion being Master Charles Higgins' first benefit and also his first public appearance in the role of a violinist The sudience was enthusiastic, every num- ber on the programme, which includea the names of a numberof leading local musicians, winning an encore and in severa! instances a third selection was demanded, Master Higgius, tall aud handsome boy. gives promise of making a name in the world of music, should he continue to mprove as he bas done in the past twelvemonths, He shows the conscientious, tireless student in all his work, reflecting 'credit upon his in- structor, but there is such a thing as playing 4 composition quite beyond the grasp of the technical dificulties surrounding it. This wuas noticeable n the ballade and polo- uaise by H. Vieuxteaps, a composition requiring the genius of a Sarasate to bring out ull its beauties. While the voung mu- sician seemed over-weighted with' this num- ber his encore piece, the Canatina by Raf, was faultlessly played. His first number, the concerto No. 1, by Ch. DeBeriot, being also worthy of the highest commendation It was ‘a reflex of the coming artist. While Master Charles was the central fizure in last uight's performance, his sister, Miss Daisy Higgins, received many pleasant words for hier accompaniments, which were played ina very musicianly manner. Mr. T. Penncll sang *'Bid Me to Live,” by Hatton, exceedingly well, being in excellent voice. Mrs. Frances Moeller was beard in that dainty composition of Thowas’ *Dost Thou Kunow that Sweet Land,” and won a com- plete triuwph. Her voice, which is a well developed contralto, with a middie register of rare sweetness and power, is just suited to such heart songs as this and coupled with the singer’'s love for her art is sure of schol- arly recognition at all times. The Omabu string quartet in which Mr. Brett plays first violin, Mr. Higgins second violin, Mr. Zitzman, Viola and Mr. Ritcer Cello, gave two numbers very accept- ably.

Bee bldg. drbaadonti ADDITION AL PARKS. The Commission Sees lts Way Clear to Secure Them. ““The park commissioners feel very much encouraged over their present prospects of being able to secure funds for the purchase of additioual parks and parkways,” said Dr. George E. Miller. “We do not propose,” he continued, “to ask for $150,000 1n_bonds,or any other amount just at present. The situation is just this: I consulted Judge Lake, the actual logal ad- viser of the board, some timo ago and usked him three questious: first, whether the re- peal of section 64 of the charter impaived the city’s right to secure oproperty: for parks and parkways; second, whether the the park bonds, 1f voted, would come under the 1215 per cent limitation rule; and third, whether in purchasing parks and paricw, the commission would be required to desig- nate the propérty before asking for the bonds. Judge Lake gave the ‘natter careful cousideration and decided that the repeal of sectiou t4 did not deprive the city of its right to secure property for park purposes; that the park bonds would not come under the 131 per cent limitation rule «nd that bonds could ba voted for the purchase of parks and park ways withoat the property desired first being designated. “Iu view of the opinions of Judge Lake the commission has {ustructed its committee on park grounds and park ways, of which Mr. Pratt is chairman, to take up and consider the whole question of pari interests with a view to the purchase and improvement of add: tional parks and park ways in the city and within the three-mnle limit in which the com- mission hus jurisdiction under the ity charter as amended.

C. Newton, general manager of the Des Moines & Kansas City railway, charging him with conspiracy to defraud the government in loading up the mails passing over his road during the month of April, when the govern- ment was weighing _ the mail for the purpose of securing a basis for new contracts with all railroads for carrying the mails, According to the evidence adduced, Newton had a lot of old newspapers in wrap- pers addressed to various persons on his line of road, and then at the other end of his line had the same papers sent vack again to some body at the Des Molnes end. In this msnner he caused to pass over his road from two to five hundred pounds per day of extra mail matter, and if his scheme had panned out it would nave oprated to increase the amount which his road would have received from the government from ,000 per annum as it was, to §10,000 per annum; and inas- much as the government's contracts are made for four years, the net steal provosed by Newton during the four years would hay amounted to #20,000. A great amount of bogus mail matier was sent to M. F. Oxford at Kanesville, Mo., who upon receipt pro- ceeded to remail the same to Charles F. Newton, o nephew of J. C. New- ton, located in enother part of the country alarge part of it going to Ophir, Calo. To that locality seventy-five sacks of mail were sent. The same amount was sent to anothier nephew of the accused, located at Van Raub, Tex. One thousand pounds were sent from Kaunesville to Miss Josie Milliman at Minneapolis, who was formerly Mr. New- ton’s stenographer and typewriter. For the first two days of the conspiracy the extra mail matter was sent through the Des Moines postoftice: after that it was mailed directly on the cars of the Des Moines & Kansas City railroad. M. F. Oxfora of Kanesville, who seems to have been fully in the conspiracy, has been indicted alon¢ with Newton. The latter dgiscovered some time ago that the govern- ment was on to the racket and communicated with the department at Washington, sugy ing that he was willing to have the weighing that was done in April set aside. Newton is a man about sixty vears of age, and is said to have great wealth. He halls from Holy Mass., and it 1s asserted that he is inte to a lurgeextent in the famous paper making industries of Holycke. He is the principal owner of the Des Moines & Kansas City way and has until now made his home in [ Moiues. He s at present in Massachusetts, therefore it will be some days before his arrcst can be accomplished. Newton's bail is fixed at $10,000 and Oxford's at §2,000.

There was a special session of the city council held Inst night at which a greate portion of the time was spent 1n making ora- tions, It came about when Elsasser, the second member of the committee on grades and grading, offered his report. me weeks ago, when Conway, the chair- man, was sick, all of the papers were turned over to Elsasser. Last night Couway was present to object to the report being received He, Chafr and Doris wantea it to go over until next Tuesday night, but they were in the minority Betore this was decide the council indulged in a wild and woolly time. Elsusser objected to the postpoueient in a most vigorous specel, in which he charged that there were a number of boodlers 1n the last council; that there was a combine and a ring: thata certain member did not dare to vote until so instructed by a corporation. Charges Some Chaffee asked that Elsasser be compelied to explaif. Elsasser urged thatan explana- tion ‘is not mecessary, as the public knows that this is a_notorious fact. Chaffee and Davis demanded the names of the boodlers. The president pounded a nole in the desk, while ‘the s nt-at-arms quieted what looked like a riot Mayor Cushing submitted to the council the name of Henry C. Sharp as assistant sewer inspector. President Lowryurged that the inspector should be appointed from the ranks and not from the aristocracy. The appointment was confirmed and Lowry's ob. jections overruled, Chairman Birkhauser, at the council, submitted a who are now in the ecmploy of the board of public works. ‘The men are H. C. Sharp, J. B. Sedgwick, Peter Meis, L. H. Parker, J. J. Coulon, E. Stouey, R. Mc- Grath and'J, H. Creighton, Chaffee asked why the list was asked for, Elsasser suggested that some of the men have been appointed and were confirmed The matter was referred to the committee ou paving, curbing and gutterigg. The report of the committee to accept Johnson electric service for the new city b was adopted, and the committee on_public property and buildings was authorized to make the zontract. The company will put the request of list of inspectors oue air tank, one s air pimp, one air gauge, switches, bells, battery cupboards, ete., for the sum of £3,420, idea is to have the service apply to seventy-seven rooms, The ordinance relating to the ecrection of certain buildings within the fire limits was recommitted. A resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract for the construction of a monument to be erected to the memory of General Crook was adopted. The cost of the moaument is notto exceed #3,00), one-half to be paid from the general and the remainder from the park fund. Ordinances were introduced as follows: Changing the grade of Sterman avenue from Ames avenue to Fort street: grading Twenty-seventh strect trom Mason street to Poppleton avenue; establishing the grade of Pine street; creating street improvement dis- tricts 272 and 273: grad'ng Walnut street from Twenty-sixth to Thirtieth street. ‘The ordinance creating the office of sani- tury comumissioner was repealed.

One s in the form of a resolution set- ting forth that n certain cases rates from the territory of the association to eastern points have been made by taking the agreed tariff from tho poict of shipment to the eastern boundary of the association and adding thercto rates less than the published tariffs for transporta- tion east of the eastern boundary line. This meuns that while the western roads may be guiltless of any irregularity, some ol the castern lines are secretly shading the rates, and the western lines, knowing this, have been quoting through rates to shippers on the basis of the rates made by their castern connections, The commissioners decide that the by-laws of the association prohibit the makiog through rates in the manner de- scribed. In .their opinion the through rate caunot possibly be made other- wise than by publication of a through tariff naming rates from point of shipment to destination or by manipulation of regular published rates. By this con- struction of the agreement it is proposed to puta stop to the manipulation of through rates, which bas been persistently practiced of late at various junction points, The other decision is in the matter of the application of the Southern Pacific for relief from the effect of special contracts made by certain companies whose _ lines consti- tute @ portion of the Northern Pa cafic's line, Tt appears that a number of contracts bave been made in which certain rates ure guaranteed for the transportation of freight” governed by the by-laws of the association or by the interstate commerce laws. In the opinion of the board such cor tracts constitute an obstacal of a divi sion of competitive tariffs between the members, which is contemplated by tbe presideuts’ agreement. It is decided, there fore, that the provision complained of shail be cancelled for ali existing conteacts and that hereafter no concessions or auy ag ments of any nature shail be made in respect 10 other business than to be covered by tk Western Traffic association agreement, | which have the effect of influencing the dis tribution of business subjeet to the agreement of that association. There is no longer any doubt that the question of surmmer tourist rates will be sat- isfactorily settled by the western roads, | Chairman Fioloy has named next Monday as the day for a special meeting to consider the rate. ‘Roads running between St. Louis and St Paul are not to make a lower rate be- tween those points for the season for 1501 | thau S0 per cent of the standard round trip rate which has paved the way for an amic ub adjustment of the whole matter. - A very small pill but a very good one, Witt's Little Early Riser: LORD BYRON SAID: ] *The thing that gives me the highest | spirits, 1t seemsabsurd but true, is a dos: of genuine Carlsh ‘d Salts; but one cun- not take tnem like champagne, ! | FREE OF COST.
