The Leading white Cap.

Evansville Courier.
Why should the White Caps wish TO do
Judge Woods any violence?
He is himself the most conspicuous exponent
of White Capism. Instead of being their op-
ponent he is their coadjutor-their ally-the
apostle of their hellish theories and zealotry
He has contributed more to the spread OF law
lessness in Indiana than all of the White Can
organizations combined. He has cultivated
feeling of resentment against the federal gov
ernment in the hearts of more than one-half of
the people of Indiana, and so long as he re-
mains upon the federal bench il will continue
to be regarded as the most shameless and
vicious part of the republican party machine.
Woods is no proper subject for discipline by
the White Caps. He is one of them in bigOtry,
hypocrisy cruelty TO his fellow man, and utter
disregard for the law of the land and the law
of God. Every moment that he remains on the
bench the cause of justice is outraged. He
ought to be impeached for judicial White Cap
ism, and made TO take his place where ne can
no longer hide his shameless Outlawry under a
judicial robe, as the White Caps hide theirs
under their masks

The German-Am ericans Realize the In
gratitude of the Republican Party.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 15.-The Milwaukee
Herald (German) will say tomorrow, editorial.
ly: ''The attitude of the administration toward
the German-American republicans in filling
offices becomes more and more surprising. The
German-American is no office-seeker. Far from
playing the professional foreigner he feels him
self a thorough American, and does not
think of spreading himself more than others
in matters of general concern. The principal
positions are already filled and the German.
Americans have been sighted. IN spite Of all
the devotion of the German Americans to the
republican party they have been ignored.
President Harrison owes it TO himself and his
party TO give q satisfactory explanation why
the German-American republicans have re-
ceived such treatment at his hands"

pointed in Love, Becomes Insane.
ST. LOUIS, No. May 16.-Early this morning
wild shrieks we're heard proceeding from the
third-story of the hotel Barnum, and a crowd
soon gathered in front OF the house. The ex
ctement was increased by the appearance of a
patrol-wagon, and shortly after three police
men emerged from the hotel bearing between
them the struggling figure Of man covered
with a blood-stained sheet. The cause of
the cOmmOtion was a man named p. +. Kirk
of Jacksonville, ILL.,, who was seized with
q violent fit of insanity during the night Kirk
took a room at the hotel Barnum at 80
o'clock, and an hour later the guests were
startled by loud crash, as of breaking glass.
Demoniac yells followed, and policeman hur-
red TO the third floor of the hotel, where a
terrible sight was revealed. A man, COM
pletely nude, with blood pouring from more
than twenty ragged gashes was rushing about
the room screaming and beating the wall. The
officer grappled with him, but the mailman
beat him of, and it was found necessary to
summon help. Two more officers appeared
and the man was secured. A love affair, in
which Kirk was disappointed, is the supposed
cause of bis insanity. Tonight men took the
unfortunate man TO Jacksonville.

OSCAR BoLes ARRESTED IN CHICAGO.
The Slayer of Lizzie BoIes of Covington,
Ind, Behind the Bars.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-ISpecial. IA sensational
arrest was made here Saturday night, but did
not become public until this afternoon. The
man under arrest is Oscar Boles who is known
in Chicago police circles as 'Royal French" +"
which is said to be only one of the hundred
aliases he has assumed during the past year. He
is held for the murder of his sister, Lizzie Boles,
eighteen years old, at Covington, Ind, year
ago.
In company with one Albert Hardestie, Boles,
it is said, dragged her into freight car stand
ing on a side track. After brutally assaulting
her the men became alarmed at the result
of their fendish conduct, and believing the
girl to be dead, obtained a quantity of oily
waste and after placing it in her clothing,
ignited it. The body, with the car. was con-
sumed and neighbors thought it the work of
tramps.
Oscar came TO Chicago and since then he has
managed to get his picture into the 'rogue's
gallery"
Recently Hardestie is said to have confessed
his crime and implicated Boles, and about a
week ago the Chicago police were notified by
the Covington authorities TO look out for the
latter. They arrested him Saturday night
while he was trying to dispose of an overcoat.
He was held in default of 81 600 bond until the
Covington people can be heard from.
Boles has refused to confess, but has made
four attempts to commit suicide in his cell.
He would never have been discovered but
for a prostitute called Dora johnson, and
whose real name is Allie Elliott. She came
from Covington. Kate Kepplinger, former
school-mate and chum of the murdered girl, is
also assisting the police.
1t is expected that Boles viii break down be-
fore long

WAsHINGToS, May ia large delegation
of miners and smelters from the West appeared
before Secy. Window and Asst. Secy Tchenor
to-day for hearing touching a ruling of the
treasury department. relative to the importation
OF lead ore from Mexic5. According to this rul-
ing lead ore is imported free of duty as precious
metal if the silver which is contained therein
exceeds the lead in value. This ruling, they
contend, is injurious to the smelling interests
OF the western territories and they desire that
il be revoked, and that the ore be classified by
the weight Of the various metals composing it
instead of by their value.
