Frightful Deeds of a Maniac,

Joliet, ILL.,, Special: A number of years
ago Andrew White was one of the most
prominent property holders of Chicago,
and made himself an immense fortune,
with which he retired to stock farm near
Dwight where he has lived most of the
time since. His steady attention to busi-
ness affected his mind and he had to be
sent to private asylum. Last week he es.
capped and speedily made his way
to his former home near Dwight on his
mission of vengeance, purchasing large
revolver. Reaching the house in the mid
die of the night, he watched till morning;
when he advanced to the front stoop and
called out to his wife to come down and
welcome him, The family consisting
of the wife and two children,
aged ten and eighteen years.
rushed at once to the porch. He allowed
each member of the family to caress him,
and moment after said: "You want my
moaey, my fortune; damn you, take that!"
and he sent bullet crashing through his
wife's brain, and as she fell dead on the
porch, he turned and buried bullets in the
brains of his boy and girl. When he had
done this he laid down the revolver and
gazed upon the fearful deed he had per-
petrated. Fora moment the herrof OF the
act seemed to restore his reason, and with q
wife, kissing it and weeping over it. His
hallucination returning, however, he
dragged the bodies of the dead into the
dining room and laid them ont OH the table.
The murderer then seating himself on the
table near his wife, placed the revolver to
his head and pulling the trigger fell dead
beside her,

Story ola Small Pox Infection.

Early in May case of small pox de-
veloped at St. Michael, Wright county, Min
nesota. The physicians did not consider
1t small pox, and the victim, a servant cir
was SO treated that she died. Dozens of
people were exposed and many soon came
down with the dread disease. After time
the state board of health took charge Of the
matter established rigid quarantine and
placed DR.. NJ inault of Osseo in charge
of the ~, district. The doctor has
completed work and made report
which shows that l24 people, living in
seventeen houses, were exposed to the dis
ease; tnat fifty. five of them came down with
it, seven had it reviously, ana slxty-two
escaped it. There were six deaths In all,
three adults and three children. one of the
latter, being quite young. The largest num-
ber ill at any one time from May 27, the
date VIXEN DR.. Pinanlt took charge, until
July l, when the quarantine was raised,
was thirty-two. When it broke out the
people we're not vaccinated or prepared to
avoid the disease in any way, but Dr. Pin
ault soon made vaccination general and
took every precaption to conline the epi-
demic within the limits, with success. He
was seconded in his efforts BY the state

shelf. It was a missile of 44-caliber, and
the report of the pistol is said to have been
very loud. Clingan was forty-five years of
age, and bore an excellent reputation in the
county as business man and gentleman.
He had been postmaster of Polk City for
the past eight years. Two hours after the
murder was known the whole country side
was AIMED and mounted, securing
in every direction. 1t is known that
the murderers have remounted twice since
they were seen, and that they are
pushing northward. The sheriff is with
the pursuers on the hottest trail, and the
news indicates capture, which, in spite
of the sheriff, will doubtless provide two
cases for the coroner of Boone county. 1t
is generally supposed that this is the second
chapter of the mvsterions murder of Stubbs,
the mayor of the place, last year, who was
shot dead by masked men who entered his
bedroom. Clingan and he were great friends,
and Clingan had been taking an active part
in ferreting out his murderers.

Disappearance of Dieases.

We have all been surprised that mala-

turtles, should return again to it with its

now it is not stranger even to our own

At the present day gout is common

common throughout Europe; and the
skeletons dug from the ashes Of Pom

aportion of his time there will be devote ed
TO the Mexican railway enterprise of which
he is the head. There is dim suspicion
that England, seeing how rapidly Ameri-
can railway enterprises were taking root in
Mexico, has concluded it wise to look after
business there, and this accounts for the re-
Mexico, broken off yeas ago. The contro-
versy regarding Mexican bonds held IN Eng
land, it is said, about to be satisfactorily
terminated, and 1t is expected that "tidai

Mexico.

drick was brought before the municipal
court this morning charged with threaten.
ing the life of Maggie Kendrick. They have
been married about five years, but have
never lived happily together. About six
months ago Mrs. Kendrick came to Fargo
rs professional musician, and has made
quite reputation there as pian;ste and
is now under engagement with the Redpath
Lyceum bureau of Boston. Kendrick came
here yesterday, and acting under legal ad-
vice and accompanied by his attorney, F.
p. Larabee, went to Fargo and took his child
from Mrs. Hendricks home during her alb
sence. He was arrested at Glyndon upon a
telegraph warrant, and broug ht back to this
city last evening. While attempting to
keep the child in his custody it was kid
mapped in very sensational manner from
his room in the Jay Cooke house, and he
now claims that he will prosecute the alb.
ductor fo1 the crime. Upon his appearance
he was released upon bail of 5000, Mrs.
Hendricks not being able to be present.
Socially the case is parallel to the Rabs-
teau scandal, which has hardly died away,
and excitement over it in Fargo and Moor
head is intense.

Settling a Bismarck Claim.

Washington Special: J. J. Jackman, who
recently was decided to be the owner of "a
quarter section of land adjoining Bismarck
after a long contest, is in the city. His OBJ
ject is to bring about the ejectment of par
ties who bought of John W. Plummer, to
whom the patent was once issued for hal
his claim. The defense has been that these
settlers were interested purchasers from
Flummer. The secretary Of the interior has
decided that the claim cannot hold good, as
Jackman was the sole occupant of the land
at the time they bought Of Plummer and
had it fenced in. He has directed a letter
to the solicitor general stating the facts Of
the case, and requesting that Jackman be
allowed to bring suit in the name of the
United States to vacate Plummer's patent
and eject the trespassers The acting at
torney general recently, in compliance with
Secretary Teller's request, issued an order
directing Hugh J. Campbell, the district
attorney at Bisma OK, to bring suit in the
name of the United States, to vacate the
patent and secure Jackman's right to the
patent. This is the last chapter, probably,
in this long contest for a property now
very valuable.

A Novelty to Actors is to See the
Play

"Why do actors, whenever they are
not playing, at once rush to the theater
to see somebody else play, instead of
getting away from theatres altogether?"
is often asked. The fact is, actors and
actresses have naturally strong love
for the drama, they like to see good
performances, and have very little
chance for doing so. Sitting ain front"
is radical change from "being in the
bill" People on the sage know, as q
general thing, almost nothing of the
scenes they are not in. Some scenes
are never witnessed, even from the
wings, by the actors who play in the
piece hundreds of nights; and per.
Torrance seen from the wings is very
unsatisfactory, 1t doesn't seem at all as
it does from the auditorium. Therefore,
to sit Sin front" and see play through
is as much a novelty and treat to the
actor us it is to the average theater-goer.

FOREIGN NEWS GOSSIP.

Mr.. Hunt, minister 70 Russia has become
entangled in difficulty with Admiral
Baldwin. In an official report of his visit
and the coronation ceremonies the admiral
speaks in the highest terms of.he treatment
from Russian officers, but stress is laid up
on his failure to obtain an invitation to the
church in which the ceremony took place.
The United States Minister is held respon-
sible for his oversight. All ofthe members
of the minister's family were present at the
coronation, but the admiral and his party
were left out in the cold. The slight was
matter until the admiral declined to attend
the state ball the evening of the coronation.
The cause of his declination, promptly given,
resulted in visit of the minister OF foreign
affairs and the empel or's personal aid, both
of whom were profuse in apologies. Fin
ally, every effort was made to recompense
the Americans for their disappointment.
The admiral, however, in his communica-
ton expresses the opinion that Minister
Hunt was too intent upon fixing his family
and friends to attend to the naval ambassa-
the attention of the state department has
been directed to the recent questionable
conduct of Admiral Pierre, French repre-
sentative in TamataVe, Madagascar, and
that the French government will be asked
for an explanation.
