There is nothing like correct diet and

The vexed Question OF Assignments. Courts
and Judges.

The Vexed Question OF ofAssignments. Courts
and Judges.
The Deer Lodge paper OF Friday,
says:
"The resignation ot Judge McLesry
left this, the Second judicial district,
vacant. Court was set for Missoula
some two or three weeks ago. Chief
Justice Mcconnell went down, dis.
posed Of eighteen css-s and adjourned
the court. Court term is set for Deer
Lodge next Monday, April 2; territor-
ial grand and petit Jurors summoned;
and the calendar made up. And YET
the district 10 vacant.
However. il is stated semi-officlally
that court will certainly begin here on
that day. The supreme court has
been holding of making the assign
menl to give Judge Liddell an oppor-
tunity to be present, which he has ex-
pected to be able 10 be by the frat Of
April. Matters have come to point
now when II would be unwise to walt
longer, and the supreme court Ia called
to convene in Helena tomorrow for
the purpose OF making assignments.
This would enable ,e judge assigned
here to open court next Monday. We
think there should be no question now
about assigning Judge DeWolfe to this
district. Judge McLeary stood In bis
way before with the backlog Of q
seniority precedent that IL did not
seem well to break without bis con-
rent He remained less than .
week aud never opened q court
in the district. IL 10 known
Judge DeWolfe preferred this district
and that this district preferred
him. lfJudgs Bach now yields his
elaine. and he doubtless will, none
other has any. Therefore, whsthsr
Judge Liddell is present or not, the
propp-r thing for the court to do to-
morrow 10 to assign Judge DeWolf to
this district. He has made q very
favorable impression at Miles. Emf
nent citizens spoke Of him last week
in the most unqualified terms Of ap.
proval, and the district would regret
To lose him. Blu, he is the beat equip
ped for the character Of very impor-
tsnt civil cases that occur 10 this dis
tict, and here he should be placed.

TEXAS JUSTICE.
A Now You See 1t, Now You Don't
See 1t Decision at Galveston.

GALVESTON, Tex, April THE
state supreme court has just rendered a
unique decision in case where the
prisoner has been convicted and was
under sentence for theft, having taken
bill from mans pocket in the pres
ence of several witnesses. The court,
in reversing the sentence of the lower
court and remanding the case for new
trial, ruled that, in order to convict
under the Indictment, the proof must
show that the intent on the part of the
prisoner to defraud existed at the time
of his taking the money. He said that
the theft was committed under peculiar
circumstances, justifying the above eX-
traOrdinary ruling. The prosecuting
witness testified that he and several
others were in store. He was offering
to bet man named Williams that his
horse could outpull any horse in town,
when the prisoner stepped up, dipped
his fingers quickly into the vest pocket
of the witness and pulled out $40 bill,
saying as he did so, You have no nerve
to bet; | will bet him." Ten minutes
afterwards the defendant refused to re-
turn the money and denied having it.
The court held that the evidence was
not sufficient to sustain conviction. on
the ground that the defendant had no
false preteXt to obtain possession of the
money, and in the absence of which he
is not guilty of the theft, though he
afterwards converted the money to his
own use.

Diss de Bars Paintings.

New YORK, April 19.-On the
strength of the affidavit of David Volk-
enburgh, administrator of the estate of
Samuel l.. Loewenherz, an old art
dealer, who, it has been limited at, was
poisoned by Nine. Diss de Bar, search
was made to-day of Luther Il. Marsh's
house, No. l66 Madison avenue. 1t was
suspected that Nine. DisS de Bars paint
ings which she claims were given to her
by King Ludwig, of Bavaria, were some
that she had stolen from old Loewen-
herr. Central Office detectives were ac-
companied by Mr.. Valkenburgh and
Maurice A. Friedlander, artist. Mr..
Friedlander identified about thirty val
liable paintings there as some that he
had formerly seen in Loewenherz' S
shop. Mr.. Valkenburgh also identified
the pictures as the ones which were
stolen from LoewenherZ. The paintings
are not the celebrated ''Spook pictures"
but are those which Nine. DisS de Bar
says came to her through her alleged
mother, Lola Montez. The possession
of these paintings by Miss Diss de Bar
and the demands made for their return
by LoewenherZ, it is claimed, is what
led to the murder of the latter.

LOSING COURAGE.
Emperor Frederick Is Becoming
Dependent.

By Cable to the Globe.
BERLIN, April 19.-The emperor has
hot left his bed to-day. Most distressing
accounts of his sufferings are current to-
night. 1t is reported that he said to
Chaplain Kaegel: "You, pray, chap
lain, for my preservation, rather pray
tor my release" The emperor perSe-
veres in the transaction of business,
and does not cease to write
concerning his work. His writ
ing is so illegible at times that
the emperor is often summoned to de-
cipher it in order to save him the an
noyance of writing it over again. There
were rumors at midnight that the en-
peror's feet were swelling; that pustul
had begun to appear ON his neck, and
that there was much discharge from his
throat. This morning Emperor Freder-
lex wrote on a slip of paper that he felt
much better. He ate a fairly good
breakfast and wanted to get up, but the
doctors would not let him rise. The
fact that the doctors cannot find evil
dence of disease of the lungs in no way
proves that the
LUNGS ARE NOT AFFECTED.
The results of the operation of trache-
otomy render it difficult to discover
symptoms of lung disease; The inter
hitting fever and the quick respiration
are symptoms strongly In favor of DR..
MadkenZie'S belief that the emperor is
suffering from pyaemia. There is a
large crowd continuously watching the
CASTLE BV SneciaI wish of the emperor
the public were permitted to come to
the iron railing of the first court yard,
where this afternoon for the first time,
the official bulletins were fixed.
The doctors on leaving the palace were
eagerly piled with questions. Empress
Augusta arrived at the palace at mid
day, and remained at the emperor
bedside for half an hour. The other
members of the family visited him to-
wards evening, when he felt fairly
comfortably, and read and worked and
slept little. The doctors held con-
SultatiOn at $50, and agreed that the
emperor was better. The discharge
which occurred this afternoon gave him
much relief. The patients breathing is
free and almost normal. Intends however
to prove that DR.. MackenZie's diagnosis
of abSceSs in the trachea was correct.
The progress of the py8mia, the Symp-
toms of which are very slight, shows no
signs of increasing. The rumOr that
DR.. Bergman yesterday discovered an
indication that cancer is forming is
not confirmed. 1t is reported that prep
aratiOnS for the marriage Of Prince
Henry and Princess Irene of Hesse are
to be hurried and that the wedding will
take place in few days.

FOR SHERMAN,
Ohio Republicans IndOrse Sher-
man for the Presidency.


DAYTON. o., April 19,-The conven-
ton was called to order THIS morning by
ex-Speaker Kiefer. The committee on
credentials reported no contests. The
convention organized by the selection
Of e. L. Lampson as chairman. The
platform affirms the plank of year
ago, which demands free and untram-
meled suffrage throughout the South.
1t denounces the efforts of the president
and congress toward the establishment
of free trade. 1t demands more liberal
pension legislation and condemns the
refusal of congress to pass the di-
rect tax bill and indorses the
administration of Gov. Foraker.
The last plank in the platform was an
unqualified Endorsement of Senator
Sherman for president. For the four
delegates at large to the Chicago con-
vention the convention suspended the
rules and selected Gov. Foraker and
Foster, William Mckinley, Ben Butter
worth and John S. Atwood (colored.
The rules were changed so as to vote
for the three names on one ballot. The
ballot resulted: Bushnell, 37S; Foster,
ST.; Mckinley, 543; Butterworth, $40:
Atwood, 213. Foster, Mckinley and
Butterworth were declared elected.
This result was reached after consider
able discussion over the fact that four
of the candidates had received more
than a majority of votes. Asa S. Bush
nell settled it by withdrawing his name.
For alternates at large, Robert Harlan
and c. L. Maxwell Doth colored) were

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April ia hor-
rible killing and hanging took place
near Gallatin, Tenn, last night. Isaac
kirkpatrick and wife, Puss, both col
ored, were taken from their cabin,
about five miles from Gallatin. by a
mob and the woman was hung and the
man shot through the brain at the same
time. Since John Curley's country
residence was burnt to the ground with
the enire contents, suspicion has
pointed to Puss Kirkpatrick as the per-
petrator of the deed. However, this
was only suspicion. kirkpatrick was
not suspected of having taken any part
in the burning. 1t is thought
by many that when the mob entered
Kirkpatrick's cabin that he recognized
some of the party, and they killed him
because of fear that they would be ex-
posed The woman was discovered
hanging in her night clothes by jim
McCullOck, who brought the news to
Gallatin. Near the tree where PusS
was hanging lay the body of her aged
husband lifeleSs. Both of them were
brought to Gallatin this evening, where
they were received by hundreds of
negroes. Upon all sides the deed is
condemned by all law abiding citizens.

Either for the Purpose of Avoid

WICHITA, Kan, April ia sensa-
ton has been caused here by the alb
duction of Mrs. Eliza Nixon, an aged
and wealthy lady, from her residence
at 322 North Morley avenue. Mrs. Nixon
is eghty-two years old, and has large
amount of realty and other property.
She has been living with niece, her
nearest relative, for number OF years,
and is quite infirm. Yesterday morning,
the niece says, stranger came to the
house and had a talk with Mrs. Nixon
about lawsuit brought against her for
$500 in a land survey. This stranger
went away, and soon returned with an
other stranger and a cab. The niece
says she did not pay any partlc alar at
tentOn to the men or her aunt, and that
she first missed them upon going into
the room where they had been talking
with the old lady, and found them all
gone. A neighbOr woman saw the two
men carrying Mrs. Nixon into the cab,
and the vehicle driven rapidly away. 1t
was not long before the authorities
were informed of the abduction, and
search was begun. Not the slightest
clue to the whereabouts OF the old lady
has thus far been obtained. Some think
she was removed by friends to avoid a
lawsuit. while others think she was
stolen with the object of ransom for her

A Fathers Awful Crime.

UNION CITY, Tenn, April 19.-Will-
lam Nedry, a farmer who lives two miles
from Trmble, in Dyer county, left
home yesterday and is badly vented
to-day. His daughter, who is
about eighteen years of age, was mar
ried last Thursday and gave birth to a
fine boy Monday. Her husband de-
manded the author of her ruin, and the
girl said that her own father was the
man, but asked him to protect
her, as he had threatened to
kill her if she told it. A war
rant was sworn out by the husband and
given to the sheriff, who organized a
posse to capture the brute. Nedry
pa ssed through Rives about s O'Clock
this morning, and will very likely be
captured tonight, in which case he will
