Congressman Nelson received letters
showing that Sheehan. the agent OF the
Chippewas at White Earth agency, had
under direction from the Indian bureau,
called /; council OF the Indians to try and
persuade them to retract their action on
the agreements and condemn the Nelson
bill. He had spent Two days in this coun-
Gil, wranglins with the Indians and
ahusing Nelson and his bill. He
advised the Indians to keep clear OF the
Nelson bill and to write Senator Dawes Il
petition, signed by all OF them. asking that
the commission agreements be affirmed.
The elder Beaulieu. in council, led the oppo-
sition to the agreements and in letter says:
: The WAY it looks now. Sheehan has poi.

The Raging Waters.

The Mississippi river and its northern
tributaries are overfowing their banks,
and carrying disaster to the inhabitants
OF the lower lands along their banks. AT
st. Paul, the flats are overhowcd on both
sides OF the river, and many thousand OF
poor squatters have been driven from
their humble homes.

The Willow river at Hudson has been
raising rapidly and is now at the highest
stage ever known. A portion OF the bridge
has gone out at Burkhardt. Here the river
and Lake ST Criox are booming, and much
apprehension is feared from vast acres of
floating ice. The Willow River mills and
other property are in danger OF being UNI
dernined.
The river at La Crosse continues to rise
steadily, and has reached the highest
point OF an early spring food OF which re-
cord has been kept. No further damage
has been done, except that the mills are
somewhat interfered with by the swift
current, which makes handling of logs diff

that place has been removed, it being fear.

The German Emperor.

The change in the condition OF Emperor
Frederick recalls the fact that Prof. Berg
mann long ago predicted that symptoms
OF grave character would be observable
at about this period and that another
stage Of the disease, which he indi-
Gated would become manifest about six
weeks later. The stages thus far marked,
together with the present yerifcation OF
DR.. Bergmann's prophecy, have revived
the cancer theory and largely spread the
popular belief therein. In consequence OF
the revival OF discussion on this point, the
press have resumed the publication OF ar
ticles in proiusion, specializing upon the
European situation in the event OF the
death OF the Emperor and particularly when
spirit OF Boulangerism seems to have be-
come dominant in France.
The news from Berlin is very meagre and
OF a nature suggesting the exercise OF un.
usually rigorous censorhip. inducing the
belief that the condition OF the Emperor is

a Wisconsin Scandal.

Papers have been received at Waukesha,
Wis, by the clerk OF the circuit court in
an action which promises sensational de-
velopements. g. w. Reyes is the plaintiff
and the American Express company is de-
fendant. During the legislative sessions
OF 1885 and 1887 he was more or less ac-
tive as O member OF the third house.
AS such he appeared before the commit
tee on state affairs and the COM
mittee on railroads in opposition to bills
which aimed to increase the tax which the
state imposed on certain corporations.
Several members OF the legislature made
repeated efforts to get through bills levy.
ing a tax OF 2 per cent. upon the gross earn
ings OF express companies. Every such at
tempt failed. Reyes was given 81 900 for
his services and demands So, 900 more.
The answer OF the express company starts
off with an admission that it
employed the plaintiff in January
1885, ITO perform for it lobby
ing services to oppose the passage of hos
tile legislation during the session Of that
year, and agreed to pay him what his SER
vices were reasonably worth, and that the
plaintiff was entitled to receive what his
services were worth, to wit, $500; that in
May. 1885, in Chicago, the company paid
to the plaintiff 81 600, which was received
by him inlfull Of his claim. The
answer further alleges that in January,
1886, the company employed the plaintiff
to perform for it services similar to those
which he had performed in the year 1885.
and agreed to pay him for such lobbying
services what they were reasonably worth.
The defendant denies, on information and
belief that the plaintiff performed the serv-
ices stipulated for, and claims that he was
not, thereto entitled to receive anything
from the company, and, further, that the
services which the plaintiff claims to have
performed in the year 8s7 were notworth
more than $500. x.--...,,.

Miss De Bars Trouble,

Nine. Diss De Bars alleged spirit paint
ings in New York have at last been traced.
They were not produced by the spirits, but
were owned and perhaps painted, by
Samuel L. Loewenberg, on artist who died
IL December, 1886, under very suspicious
circumstances. And further than that
Nine. Diss De Bar is likely to be charged
with having caused the death OF Loewen-
berg, who was a Hebrew artist. When his
body was found the legs were wrapped in
old newspapers, and the surrounding cir
cumstances we're SO suspicious that an au-
topsy Was performed. No attention was
given to the case at the time, aud only two
person stood by his grave when, the old ar
list was,burried. One was Nine Diss De Bar.
as she then called herself, and Isadore Cohn-
field an old.time schoolmate OF Loewen.
bergs Nine Diss De Bar had become ac-
quainted with the old artist in some unknon
manner several years previous to his
death and kept up the acquaintanceship
by paying constant visits to the old miser
in his squalid apartments. He lived sur
ROUNDED by large number Of paintings,
which he always claimed were very valu-
able. 1t was the opinion OF all who knew
the old miser, that he left large amount
OF money behind him at his death, and
Lawyer Hummel, who has charge OF the
case intimates that the treasure left by
old Loeweaberg might even now be
In the Golfers OF the medium. After the
old mans death Nine. Dss De Bar took
all the paint ings, and when the rela tives
came to look for the property, or valua-
bles, nothing could be found. Mr.. Loewen-
berg was nearly eighty years old. Lawyer
Hummel says that alter the medium pos
sessed herself OF the miser's paintings she
had them slowed in q building on Broad
way, and Gen. Dis De Bar succeeded by
chemical process in covering the pictures
with a substance which faded away when
exposed to light.

Two Clever Girls Caught.

The arrest at Birmingham, England, OF
the notorious Woodhall sisters, whose
strange influence over the late John Gill Of
New York was the means OF procuring for
them the greater part OF his fortune, is an.
nounced in a cable dispatch received from
London. The story is that Alice the
younger OF the sisters, resisted arrest, and
endeavored to throw a lighted lamp at the
officer
The Woodhall sisters were of humble
parentage, and came from England about
1870. Harriet was the elder, and the first
to arrive. She obtained employment as
cook in the household OF John Gill,
wealthy manufacturer of piano hardware.
She was soon in high favor with her en-
ployer, and obtained permission to send
for her sister. Alice came and was INSTALL
ed as chamberlnaid. In 1871 Mrs. Gill
died. The Woodhall girls were neither
prepossessing OF countenance nor youth
full, but q fair education had been added
to their natural cleverness, and they made
the most of their opportunities.
Mrs. Gill had not long been dead beforethe
influence OF the two English girls over Mr..
Gill became very apparent. He gave them
presents OF money, furniture and fine
Clothes and lavished upon them appar-
entity more affection than he bestowed up
on his children. Indeed the latter were
o1Uens excluded from his presence at the
will OF his two favored servants, and it is
said that one Of the daughters, no longer
uble to endure the arrogance and insults
OF her fathers fayorites, was forced to
leave the house.
1t is estimated that these clever adven-
turers had obtained from Mr.. Gill not less
than 500, 900 when they attempted the
final stroke which made fight necessary
and eliminated in their arrest That was
the famous bond transfer, effected, as is
alleged, partly by caiolery and partly by
forgery. Mr.. Gill had $50, 500 in per cent
registered United States bonds. They
were cent to the treasury department at
Washington with a letter signed as
it appeared, by Mr.. Gill. requesting that
they be cancelled and reissued to
Harriet and Alice Woodhall The
transfer blank on the back OF each bond
was properly filed out and signed. The
letter accompanying the bonds asked thai
the new bonds be sent to Mr.. ellis ad-
dress. The request was complied with. the
two servant girls secured the reissued
bonds and disposed OF them through the
firm OF Fisk & Hatch. This was in May,
1888.
About this time the courts, at the in.
stance ofmembers OF Mr.. ellis family, de.
clared him incapable ofmanaging his estate.
The contact OF the Woodhall sisters was
