Mosquitoes.
The bill of a mosquito is a complex in
stitution. 1t has blunt fork at the head,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the angle of the fork, is lance of per
feet form sharpened with fine bevel.
Beside it the most perfect lance looks
like hand saw. On either side of the
lance two saws are arranged, with the
points fine and sharp and the teeth well
refined and keen. The backs of these
saws play against the lance. When the
mosquito alights with his peculiar hum,
it thrusts its keen lance, and then en-
larges the aperture with the two saws,
which play beside the lance until the
forked bill with its capillary arrange
ment for pumping blood can be inserted.
The saving process is what CRATES upon
the nerves of the victim and causes him
to strike wildly at the sawyer.-Hall's

dent Overall of the Board of Police Com

replevin. and the constable and his depu-
ties attempted to take forcible possession,
whereupon they were elected from police
headquarters. Later, Chester Krum and
Marshal I. Mcdonald attorneys for the
gamblers. instructed the constable to secure
q posse and take possession of the property
at all hazards. The letter addressed to
constable Peterson by the gamblers at
torneys is a remarkable document. In it
the attorneys say:

A MURDERER'S STORY.
Or. Mellow Tells How He Killed Captain Daw.
son, and Then Tried to Bury Him.

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 26-Dr. Mellow
told the story of his killing Captain Daw-
son twice to-day, once on the direct and
again on cross-examination. He was on
the stand for two hours. He presented
haggard appearance, and was as white as q
sheet when be began to testify, but before
his story had been told he became perfectly
calm and apparently unconcerned. In all
his recital of the details of the tragedy
he was led by his counsel, Judge Magrath,
and testified to just what his counsel
wished: There were seve raj spats between
counsel for the State and the defense as to
the leading character of the examination,
but the court generally sustained the de-
fense.
DIR. Mellow said that Captain Dawson
came to- his Office, rang the bell, and was
admitted by him. Dawson, he testified,
was domineering in his demeanor, and
warned him that he must not speak to the
French maid again or come upon his prem
ises. Mellow replied that he would speak
to her whenever he chose and until he
tDawson). could show his authority for for
bidding him TO speak to her. Dawson then
said to witness that he would publish him
in the papers, whereupon he GMcDowl, de-
nOunced him as an internal sc0undrel and
ordered him out of his office. Upon this
Dawson STRUCK him on the head with his
cane, and followed it up with two blows
from his hand, when he LMcDowl, believing
himself to be in danger or his life shot him.
Dawson, witness said. exclaimed in
half articulate tones: 'You have
killed me-" Witness replied, "Yes, =
you; .yon came to kill me. but have killed
you" Dawson died almost instantly. Nc
Dow SAID that he was so appalled, by the
effect of his shot that he lost his reason, or
he would have resucitated him if he could
He then tried to bury the body in the closet
under the stairs, but, failing, dragged his
victim back again into the Office, wiped the
blood from his face. and finally. after two
or three hours, surrendered himself.
The witness was not excited in giving his
graphic account of the tragedy. Altogether
it was q horrible story, and told calmly and
almost unconcernedly. What effect Nc
Dow's statement will have on the case no
one can tell. The State will take up the
case tomorrow. 1t will probably consume
the rest of the week.

COONEY AND BURKE.
Conflicting Theories In Regard TO the Formers
Connection with the Cronin Tragedy.


Connection with the Cronin Tragedy.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Chief of Police Hub
bard now admits that the authorities are
not particularly anxious to find Patrick
Cooney, for whom he sent his officers on
wild-goose chase down into Indiana last
week. This change of front is due to the
fact that none of the witnesses have been
able to identify his picture. and that there
is nothing against him except the fact that
he is a friend of Burke's. The Chief does
not now think Cooney to be 'SimOnds."
but, observation-disclosures, believes "uhe Fox"
to be implicated. Matters were still further
complicated when the picture of Cooney
was shown to Mrs. Carlson. She unhesitat-
Williams brothers." who were tenants of
her cottage, and of whom 'Simonds" was
supposed to be one.
* dispatch from Chillicothe. Mo-, says:
"Cooney, one of the alleged murderers OF
DR.. Cronin, is said TO be working on farm
i'm this county. A detective who claims to
have no connection with the Pinkertons,
has been here two days. he says that the
fox was in Kansas City eight days ago.
The detective left for the country this
morning"
When the Cronin conspirator who gave
his name as j. B. Simons," purchased from
Revelle & Co. the furniture found in the
Carlson cottage, he expressed desire TO
Duy Satcnel. ne was SHOWN an lneApen-
sive black grip, twenty inches long by
twelve high and ten wide. The price was
81. Simons ordered it to be sent with the
furniture to No. III South Clark street
This was done, and so far as the police
know, the satchel has not been seen since.
When Burke was arrested in Winnipeg
there was found on him small fiat satchel
Key. The key was sent to Chief Hub
bard, and by him given TO Captain Schuet-
tier. A reporter called at Revelle's
this morning. secured key belonging TO q
satchel the exact counterpart of the one
purchased by Simons, and showed it to
Chief Hubbard, who said IL was to all ap-
pearances like the one he had given TO
Schuettler.

OF this city have secured clew TO tho
whereabouts of a man TO whom Martin
Burke sent a dispatch from Winnipeg. IL
was addressed To Rhyneton. Hancock.

Is also alleged that the police have secured

TO Burke, at Winnipeg. containing valuable
information. 1T has been discovered that

United Brethren Dissensions.

Special To the Indianapolis Journal
FRANKLIN, June 26.-The members of the
Honey Creek circuit, United Brethren, are
disturbed on account of the action of the
members of Ebenezer Church, near Acton.
The why and wherefore Is as follows: Some
four years ago, at Dayton, o., the General
Conference of United Brethren, by its COM
mission. revised it's Discipline so that men,
bers of secret orders could be admitted to
church fellowship. This caused o
split in the conference. and Bish-
op Milton Wright, with seventeen
delegates, withdrew and formed confer
ence of their own, holding to their old Dis
cipline, and called themselves Radicals
The large body of the United Brethren,
with its colleges and publishing houses. in
dorsed the revision Of the Discipline. and
posed of four churches. Ebenezer,. near
Acton. being Radical; Honey Greek, Bethel
and Olive Branch, in white River
township, Johnson county, being
Liberal. On last Saturday the class
leaders, trustees. stewards, ETC., who
are members of the Quarterly Conference,
went TO Ebenezer to hold quarterly servi-
bers of that church and informed that they
could not hold services there as they. the
EbeneZerites. did not consider the others
members of the United Brethren, not being
Radicals. Upon this action fifteen of the
members OF the conference returned TO
Honey Creek chapel and held the usual
quarterly conference services on Saturday
evening and on Sunday.

tions are the order of the day but feebly
expresses the situation, and future devel-
opments are eagerly looked forward to by

were that the price of meats has come down

are higher. but for the great mass of con-
sumers the prices are lower.
