The Sleeping Beauty Lwakes.

Columbus, Neb., Jan. I3.-News
has just re ached here from Dish.
ner farm, some distance northeast,
that Minnie Dishner, Nebraska's
sleeping beauty" recovered con-
sciousness Sunday, January 3Oth,
the seveutieth day of her hystero.
cateleptic transe sleep. She fell
into o transe on Oct. 26th last.
During the long interval, she has
lain to all appearance lifeless, with
the exception Of pulsatlon and res.
piration. WhenMiss Dishner awoke
her mind was apparently clear
and her appetite and general
feeling good, but her arms and her
limbs we're paralyzed. She says
she was conscious during the
whole time, but though she exert.
ed her utmost powers to evince
her consciousness, she could net
move a single muscle. She says
she had no physical pain until the
fortieth day of her sleep, when or
electric battery was applied. Since
then che has suffered q thousand
agonies of body and at times
seemed as though her mind woult
give way under the strain, ant
now complains of terrible suffer
ing in consequence of the shocl
to her nervous system. The doc
tor in attendance says she will re
cover in short time and will agail
have full use of her limbs.

Murderer MeKsnaa Gets His Dues
Commercial Herald.l


Early yesterday morning the
announcement was made that at
1890 o'clock a. m. Mr.. James Mar
shall, proprietor of the Planters
Club Saloon and Reading Room,
had, in self-defense, shot and XIII
ed Alderman.elect Jack McKenna.
The facts of the case, are to the
effect that, for some time, this
trouble has been anticipated.
About 1915 o'clock Sunday night
MeKenna entered the Planters
Club rooms and took part in a
game of cards in which Mr.. Mar.
shall was dealing and in which
several other gentlemen were
playing. Shortly after taking part
in the game MeKenna made an
extraordinary demand upon Mr..
Marshall, who said he would com.
ply with the demand IL the other
gentlemen Of the game demanded
il. McKenna Immediately said
"Marshall, l have come here to
do you, and - you | am
prepared for it,n and suiting his
words with the action, pulled from
his overcoat pocket a pistol and
pushed back his chair at the same
time Marshall drew his pistol from
under his vest, and as McKenna
was in the act of pushing Mr..
Frank Steigleman in front of him,
fred, striking him in the upper
part of the right breast, and rang
ing down to the left side below
the ribs. Making a breastwork of
Steigleman, McKenna commenced
firing on Marshall and fred four
shots at him without effect. Mr..
Steigleman eventually shook Nc.
kenna loose. Marshall, with this
advantage, succeeded in striking
McKenna twice more, one shot
through the left leg below the
femoral artery. At this McKenna
sank, and Mr.. Marshall says he
thought he had killed him, ceased
firing and stepped into the bar
room. AS he went through the
door, with his back toward Nc
Kenna, he heard another shot ant
at the same time a heavy fall, ant
turning saw Jonas Goodman, O

having shot him, the ball entering
under the right shoulder.blade
aud ranged, 1t is supposed, down

around to his room in the theatr
building, where he died in abou
one hour. Goodman was assiste
to Mr.. Dave Winston's room |

: and Drs. Hardenstein and O'Lear

There is question, even among

the most effective way Of dealing
with it. Prohibitionists have
studied out q plan which takes the
question entirely out of politics,
and they will ask the Legislature
to pass o bill agreeable to that
plan. 1t will be a reasonable bill,

THE cn.cKAsAw SCHOOL FUND-A
SUGGESTION WHICH SHOULD
BE ENACTED.

SUGGESTION WHICH SHOULD
BE ENACTED.
The State may adopt either plan.
1t may, by an Act Of tho Leglsla-
turc, reduce the present rate of
interest to four per cent, which
should be fair and equitable rate
or it may raise the principal of the
fund by the issuance of four per
cent. bonds and invest it in other
securities. II is the Same to the
State in either event, but 1t would
DC more advantageous to the
Chickasaw counties for the State
to reduce the interest to four per
cent. and retain the fund, for me-
gotiuble four per cent. securities
cannot be purchased in the money
centers OF the world except at q
premium. But whatever method
of accomplishing the object may
be adopted, the duty of the Legis.
lature TO reduce this interest In
some way to reasonable rate is
clear. A generation has passed
away since the debt was incurred
The State has already, at elghtpel
per cent paid nearly sl,5OO,OOO II
interest. During this period mon
ey has become much cheaper, and
almost every State and govern
ment, except Mississippi, has sc
charged the form of its indebted
ness as to take advantage Of thii
cheapnesss. We must now dc
likewise If We would not neglect
ordinary business principles, ant
utterly disregard the interests o.
the people.

from the convictions he proeures.
This is q great wrong, and should
be promptly corrected. A fair
and reasonable salary, without
fees, will retain the services of
the present able and efficient dis
trict attorneys. or secure others.
A reasonable addition TO the
present salary will accomplish the
desired object. They are allowed
10 practice law as before their
election, in civil cases, and the of.
fee will be well filed on the plan
proposed. Circuit Judges and
Chancellors, whose labors are far
more arduous than those of dis
triet attorney, are paid g., 500, and
are not allowed to practice law.
There are 162 Circuit Courts an.
nually held in this State at a cost
of FROM s2O0,OOO to 100000.
Probably half the time of the 152
courts is consumed in the trial of
petty misdemeanOrs. This is a
great, and il seems a growing evil,
and should be promptly remedied,
and the taxpayers of the State re-
lieved from such an unjust and un-
necessary burden. There is no
feasible measure that can be
adopted that will so much reduce
county taxes as this suggestion,
the prompt adoption of which /
earnestly urge. 1t must be re
membered that government is
maintained by the people for their
benefit. 1t has not penny of its
own. The people are entitled to
the best attainable government,
at the smallest possible cost,
therefore every superfuous ex.
pense should be promptly abolish.
ed.
Fees should only DO allowed,
where from the nature of the case,
no other mode is admissible. just
compensation should be given to
all engaged in the public service,
but it should in every instance be
fixed by law, so that no uncertain
ty may exist as to the cmoluments
ofany Office.

Montgomery, Ala, January 15.--
Judge Hubbard in the Circuit
Court denied the motion of attor.
neys in the prohibition cases, and
they will be appealed to the Su-
preme Court. These are the cases
where the saloon men and liquor
dealers in Opelika and Clanton
were refused licenses by the pro.
bate judges, and they asked Judge
Hubbard to compel them to issue
the licenses, which he refused after
hearing able counsel on both sides.
The result of this decision is that
the towns of Opelika and Clanton
are dry, and Troy, Andalusia and
Greenville are in the same condi.
ton. With all of these to dry,
and the country districts all over
the black belt, by acts of the Leg
islature prohibited from selling
liquor, the wholesale merchants
Eere will suffer materially in their
business, and Montgomery's sales
are greatly affected.

COLLECTOR REpMAN,s CASE.

After Collector Redman made his speech
to the Hancock county Democratic conven-
ton the Portland Civil Service Reform As
ISOLATION met and drew up the following
protest and sent 1t to the President
II is publicly stated and not denied that John
B. Redman, United States collector of internal
revenue at Portland, being at Ellsworth on
Wednesday, 18th instant, attended Democratic
county convention In that town and there ap-
peared upon the platform and delivered a parti-
san speech. 1t furthermore appears that this
was no inconsiderate act for Mr.. Redman. as re-
ported, expressly stated to the convention that
AS Federal Office holder under existing rules he
was allowed to take no part in politics. but added
that all public officers are entitled to vacations
and during their vacations may do as they please,
and ne Intended 10 take a vacation of one day In
order to address the convention.
The Portland Civil Service Reform Association
cordially approves the Presidents order of July
Ia, doS0 ca4 t an Officers under the general
tisansnlp: Mr. Redman's right to address his
fellow citizens on political topics at suitable fines
and places and N proper spirit, is not denied by
yention is not suitable place. and Mr. Rednnan,s
frivolous pretence OF putting off his oficial char
acter at VIII does not indicate proper spirit of
respect Tor lawful authority. 1t is our Judgment,
furthermore, that public exhibition of coTtempt
for the Presidents order such as this appea r. Ia
have been, cannot pass unnoticed II the order is
TO be maintained as valid rule Of conduct for
the public servants for whose guidance il was in
tended.
this statement 70 Ine President Of the United
alton that such action may be taken as upon flr-
ther inquiry may appear 10 be right and recessa-
ny to secure obedience 70 me executive order of
which that order enioins and requires.
The protest was sent August 81. Nothing
was heard from it until yesterday when
