There are several INVESTIGATIONS in the ca
blegram. No banker was ever murdered in
this city, nor was any robbery amounting
to $4,000 ever committed. 1t is not
known that any person named Wettber
or Wettbeer ever lived here It is under
stood Wettwer has several times desired to
return to the United States. Now how
his name could become connected with a
murder never committed here is mystery
1t may be stated incidentally that the on
ly banker murdered in Wisconsin during
the past 10 or Is years, was Meade, at
Waupaca, cousin of Mrs M. N. Barber,
of this city. Some $4,000 was taken
from his safe. This crime was committed
about 5 years ago and the murderer has
never been apprehended.

OBITUARY..

Death has entered another home and
made desolate the hearthstone. Ida A.,
wife Of David g. Whyte, departed this
life at her home in the First ward, Friday
morning, June 8, 1888, in the 9th year
of her age. From child she was pos
sessed of a frail constitution, and about
one year and half ago consumption be-
gan to make its insidious approaches on a
system prone to its tendencies. She
gradually failed, despite of all that med
ical skill could devise or kind hands en-
deavor to avert, until at last she sank
quietly into that sleep that knows no
Weakening, in the full hope of blessed
life beyond the grave. Deceased was
person endowed with fine womanly attri-
butes, and in her relations as wife and
mother, kind, loving and affectionate.
Her husband is inconsolable in the great
affection that has overtaken him, and to
him and the little son of years will be
extended the warm sympathy of the en-
tire community. The funeral of Mrs.
Whyte occurred Sunday afternoon at 211a
o'clock from the Congregational church,
of which she was an active and devoted
member, and was largely attended by sad
deDed relatives and friends, Rev. J. NJ.
Campbell officiating.
Added to the beautiful floral tributes
furnished by loving ones to the memory
of the departed, was the profusisn of
flowers and plants around the reading
desk, commemorative CT Children's day,
which the church observed last Sunday,
the whole forming picture not uniting
an occasion mingled with sorrow and hope
At the close of the service in the church
the funeral procession moved to Oak Hill
cemetery, where by the side of her boy
baby the remains of the mother were laid
to rest.

PIrrsBURG, Pa, Dec. 2O.-The mem
bers of the congressional committee on
pauper immigration are arranging the
preliminaries for investigation here to-
morrow. Congressman Forbes says the
immigration laws are persistingly viola
ted. The :ommitte will recommend the
following remedies: That the work of in
spection be taken out of the hauds of
the states and be put under federal con
troll; That foreigners be examined on the
other side before they board ships, either
by our consuls or inspectors appointed
for the purpose; That steamship compan-
les be furnished with blanks on which
shall be printed certain questions which
persons who apply for passage shall be
compelled to answer. These blanks are
! to be examined on this side before land
ing. If it be found that perjury has
been committed the person offending
shall be prosecuted. Ii the steamship
companies do not comply with these con-
ditions and prohibited immigrants are
found on their vessels they shall be com
PEELED to take them back free of charge.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Standards
special from Suakim at 430 states that
this morning the man-of-war Racer open
cd battle by shelling the enemy's
trenches. The ships up the coast followed
suit and landed parties who lighted fires
and placed dummies in position. This
had the effect of deceiving the enemy
coming from Thandaabud. The whole
attacking force moved towards the
enemy's left flank. The naval detach-
ment with machine guns, cavalry and
mounted infantry scouting. protected the
tianks and rear. Two lines comprising
battalions in double companies rushed
towards the left corner of the enemy's
trenches, the British infantry and Egyp-
tian reserves lining the embankment
between the water forts. Gen. Greenfell
and staff occupied position to the left
Of the water fort. From o'clock there
were heavy salutes Of guns and mortars
from every fort on the trenches.
LATER The British lost four killed
and two wounded during a gallant cavalry
charge. The Egyptians and black regi-
ments charged trenches and carried them
brilliantly, losing two killed and thirty
wounded. The only officers wounded in
the attacking force were two Egyptians.
The loss is now stated at 400.
An official dipatch from General
Greenfell dated Suakim, 1925 a. m, says:
The enemy's loss is 400. The Hussars
are still pursuing the enemy.

Of the 10th at Rawson, Hancock, CO., O.,
they tore down the saloon of John Mess

gutter and left, warning him against res

Martin disregarding previous notice to
keep sober and support his family, was
nearly hanged to death, stripped, tied to
tree and whipped with beech switches
till his back was mass of bleeding flesh.
Another man named Miller was similarly
treated. The skull and crossbones, with
representation Of bowe knife between
is a favorable sign of the order. At Ma
poleon a notice bore the words: "God
hates liars and perjurers and adulterers.

Horrible state Of Morals,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-House com
mittee on fisheries, investigating Alaska
outrages, heard testimony of VIM. Gavitt,
special treasury agent of the Seal islande.
He stated that the Alaska company's
agent at St. Georges island had respect
for neither God nor man. Among other
things he said they furnish liquors to pros
titutes in an underlland manner. He
said the whole island was place of prostl-
tuition. An agent of the company had
declared he would break mans head If
he refused to bring his (the man's) wife
to him. He said further, he would rather
serve term in the penitentiary than go
through again what he and his wife had
experienced on the islands.
L. F. Ryan, another special agent of
the government at the island of St.
George from 1885 to 1887, attributed the
lack Of discipline and loose morals on that
island partly to the improper conduct
and neglect of duty of some of the gov
ernment agents, which was in turn imita-
ted by the agents of the company

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-During recon
sideration OF the tariff hill the Senate
Teller said he was informed that the i'm
portation Of Mexican lead ores this year
would reach $4,000 tons and that would
mean the closing up of the silver mines
of Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Idaho,
and in every common lead mine in the
United States. The miners in the west
received the largest wages paid in the
world and twice as much as was paid fol
common labor in other parts Of this coun.
try. There was no complaint as to the
price of lead, the production being about
equal to the consumption. This was Q
matter of special interest to the mining
regions of this country. Reagan of Tex
as wanted all lead ores containing silvel
and silver ores containing lead admitted
free. Rejected.

Tribal Rights Of Indians.

An interesting decision on the rights Of
Indians living on reservations to pass
tribal laws and execute the death penalty
was rendered in the U. 8. Court of Los
Angeles, California, on the 18th inst. The

tribal council, executed the medicine man

Indians committing crimes against the
persons or property of other Indians, OF
other persons within the territory of the
United States, are amenable to the laws
Of the United States, whether living on
