Miss Amelia Bieitenstein. whose death
was recorded lsst week, Was q most esti
mabe character and deserving of more
than a passing notice. She was only in
her tweoty-third yenr, yet occupied in the
hoIoe ard in society a place that it will be
hard TO fill. She was extremely unselfsh
and kind Her great pleasure was in seTv-

willingness to help endeared her TO all her
friends. And yet her true worth Is only
fully realized now that she is gone.
The funeral took place at the family
residence in Bridgeport, and there was
present an immense gathering Of relatives
and acquaintance. The floral offerings

tribute of loving hearts. The services

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A Marshall County Man Dangerously
Wounded in Mysterious Way
List Sunday Daniel Winters, we'll
known Marshall county farmer, living at
Sand Hill left home on horse back, to at
tend to some business in another part OF
the county. He started to return Tuesday,
and was to have been home that evening.
He did not arrive, and & search was'insti-
tuted for him. While this was in
progress a farmer, while riding along
the road taken by Mr.. Winters
on his way home, found bat, pair
of mitts, and she head band of bride
living in the road, and little farther along
came upon the body Of Mr.. Winters. He
was lying on the roadside with his feet
against pickett ence, and was uncon-
scious. He had evidently lain there all
night, for the ground bore marks OF his
struggles, end the fence was defaced,
where he had been able to reach it with his
feet, as though it had been paved by o
horse. A further search resulted in the
discovery of Mr.. Winters hore lying desd
in the road about hundred yards from
where it's owner was found. There was
no bride upon tie animal, end the mics
ing article has not been found.
Mr.. Winters wss removed 70 his home,
where he has since been Unconscious, ard
no one can certainly account for the nature
of the accident which overlook him
There are some very peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the matter, making It
possible that Mr. Winters was the vicsim
Of an assault. He is about go years OF oge

CHICAGO's CABLE WAR.

Thousands of Passengers Sue for the ke-
turn of Their NicISels
CHICAGO, March "A merciless war is
now being waged against the North Side
Cable Company, aad unless it ceaees the
probabilities are the latter will be put TO
en- expense of many thousands of dollars.
The cable hss been working very badly
and nearly every day there is hitch-tbe
cable breaking or something of that sort
III some cases the people who have paid
their fares 10 ride down town being COM
PEELED to get out and walk to their places
Of business. In no case is the fare returned
to the passenger, though there are instances
where the latter had not been carried more
than half block when compelled to gat
out and walk
Finally the North Side people fixed
upon a scheme which Was nothing more or
less thsn the institution Of numbtr OF
suits for the Dicke's they had paid and for
which they had received 10 return. Yes
te1dsy James Barker recovered judgment
for five cents and costs, the latter amount
ing TO nearly 81 He paid mis- nickle just
before the cable broke and walked down
town, his demand for the return Of the
nickle being refused.
To-day John Frazer came back at the
company. He was passenger week ago
to-day, between nne and ten o'clock in
the morning The cable refused to work
inst IS Illinois street wSs reached. After
waiting some time the passenger, who was
in q hurry to get down town, demanded
the return Of his fare from the con-
ductor. This the latter refused and
offered a transfer ticket, good Tor one
hour" As the Clark street line vas also
blocksded. and remained go for an hour
aud half, this useless psstebOsrd was re-
fused, and after securing the names OF sew
sral witnesses, Frazer walked down town
and entered suit for his nickel. The COM
psDy made no defense when the case was
called and judgment was entered for five
cents ard costs, amounting in all TO s. 70.
Other suits by the score, hundred and
thousand are promised, and in each case it
is proposed 10 levy on the cars of the cont
pany if the Judgment is not Satisfied.
Many Of the newspapers of the city urge
tire citizens Of the North Side to bring
these suits, and the unique war promises
10 become livelier as the days 60 on.

PHILOSOPHY OF rHE STREET.

Women shine most in adversely; men in

Woman is blessed in not having to fght

1t is well enough to hold an Cffice, but

Morey speaks a language that needs no
interpreter, travel where it may.
1t is the height of heroism to work when
the rest OF the community is resting. Man
is an initiative animal.
This would he a great world if the art of
storytelling could be confined to those who
know how to practice it.
Next to a wedding tour, one of the most
amusing things to contemplate is a woman

OrR MONROE DO TRINE.

II there is any part Of our political bull

it is that inta7gible something, known as
the MONROE Doctrine II has become
slightly dilapidsted in the wear and tear
Of sixty years. The dilApidatiOn is pain

When President MONROE advanced his

A FEW MORE JIM BARRIERS.
The citizens of Chicago have begun a
novel war against one of their cable COM
panias. The company in question IS the
ovuer Of a cable which is very
cratic in its operations. After IN IN
usually sloppy day, when the weary bust
ness man or thOp girl mOst desires a con-
Portable iide home this particular cable
begins 20 tank up as it were, and the
wiady city stomach gets empty, and the
supper gets cold while they are waiting
for il to proceed.
This thing hal happened several times,
on more or less unpleasant occasions to the
citizens OF the North Side, and they have
determined on getting even. It is the
rule of the oompsny 10 refuse 10 return
fares wbsn the cable "balks " Several
thousand people have thus been robbed of
their Sunday school money.
The reform was instituted when one
bold man, who reioicss il the plebsian APP
