day and, among other things, he asked
me if I had read the recent discussion
about the headwaters of the Mississippi.
sit revived an old story inmy mind" he
said. Henry R. Schoolcraft, q cele-
brated traveller and writer, in his account
of it said the lake was called Itasca, after
two Latin words signifying true head. l
puzzled myself over this a good deal and
asked him n day how he made it. He
replied: Quite easily. Veritas means
true and caput head. Striking off the
first syllable of the first word and the
last syllable of the other one you have
Itasca-ver-Itas ca-put.' 1t is equal"

brated text against the fashion of high
head dresses: Let him who is on the
house top not come down.'"-Chicago

from the inability OF the stomach to con-
vert food received by it into s%ustenanco,i is
the prodprex of hatulence and heartburn

of dyspepsia. The best carminative is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Far more
effective is it than carbonate of soda,
magnesia or other alkaline salts. These
invariably weaken the stomach without
producing permanent benefit. No man

A Queer Statue of oneon Victoria

Everybody knows that the Princess
Louise is not a mere amateur dabbler,
but n real artist in sculpture, and the
statue of the queen on which she is en-
gagged, and which is to be erected in
Kensington Gardens, between the palace
and the round pond, will certainly be as
daring in design assft will be novel. 1t
is intended to represent her majesty as
she appeared o the memorable morning
in June, 1887, when it was announced to
her that she was queen of England. 1t
will be remembered-Sir George Hayter's
picture has commemorated it-that upon
the occasion the Princess Victoria APP
peared in the scantiest of attire-a mere
robe de mutt, with a shawl hastily flung
over it. Rumor has it that the Princess
Louise is succeeding in giving to this
decidedly unconventional attire the APP
p%earance of quite classical drapery.-

New YoRc, April 5.-Treasury agents
have discovered that extensive smuggling
operations have been carried on through
the firm Of Allard & Sons of Paris aud
New York, dealers in antique furniture,
paintings, tapestry, etc. Fine hangiEgs
OF valuable oil paintings and like have
been brought in concealed in seats OF old
furniture, under the backs of old bureaus,
etc, escaping duty. Many of these val
liable articles were subsequently, sold at
full value to innocent purchasers, includ-
ing members of the Vanderbilt and Aston
families. 1t is believed the frauds will
aggregate a quarter million. This fact
and the hitherto high standing of Allard
X Sons. have made matters highly sensa-
tlonal, and it is the general topic of con.
versation to day. The evidence is regard
ed as conclusive by treasury agents. 1t is
not expected that anything further will
be done in the matter until Secretary
Window Is heard from. The facts in the
case were embodied in a report sent to
Washington last night. No arrests have
yet been made.
At the warerooms of Allard & Sous
this morning w. II. Secor, counsel for
the Allards, and Roulez, their agent,
said: This whole affair is an outrage on
a most respectable firm, and the result
will show the Allards innocent of any at
tempt to defraud the government. 1t is
the work OF a discharged employe, who
has cunninRly taken advantage of the fact
that all members of the firm are absent in
Paris preparing for the coming exhIbi-
ton. They were WARE it was coming"
continued Secor. and two weeks ago
cabled ROulcz to consult with me in regard
to it. They were put on their guard by a
charged agent, the i~nstigator of the pres
ent proceedings, and this letter will form
an important part of the defense, My
clients are prepared TO furnish bonds to
any amount To secure the government
from alleged duties for which it is said to
have been dcfTauded."

Capture of a Texas Murderer.

FoRDYCE, Ark, April 5.-A special to
the Gazette says G. B. Dickson, sheriff Of
Titus county. Tex. has arrested Frank
Schultz at that place on the charge Of
murder. On the night of the 10th of
December last the house of j. X. King, a
well to do farmer of Titus county. was
burned and the charred remains of King,
his wife and six children we're found in
the ashes. Upon examination it was
found that the skulls of all the family had
been crushed with an axe, found IN the
house. On the day of the murder King
and his son, aged 20, had killed hogs, and
as they were to move into a new house a
few hundred yards distant, they had car
ried the meat to the new house and young
King slept there to guard the meat On
the night of the murder, before going
down to the new house for the night,
young King had used the axe and left 1t
at the yard gate. Suspicion pointed to
Kings son in law. Schultz, first cousin to
the man arrested here, who had run away
with Kings daughter and had forged an
order for a marriage license, and it was
the fear OF being prosecuted for forgery
that caused him To murder King and his
family. Schultz, Kings son-in-law, had
made threats and has since confessed to
friends that he and his cousin did the
dillingham; he killed King and his wife
and that his cousin killed the six children
and then set fire to the house.

New YORK, April "a complete sur
prise was occasioned among merchants
engaged IN the shirt trade this afternoon
by the announcement of the failure of
Downs 4 Finch, shirt manufacturers at
43 and 40 Leonard street, having three
large factories at Jamesburg, Bordentown
and Heightstown, n. j. The firm was
regarded as the leading one in the manu-,
facture of fancy shirts in the United
States. At the office of the firm no per
son could be found for information as to
the cause of failure. The general under
standing was that the firms endcavor to
control the trade had increased expenses,
while profits diminished and low prices
prevailed. The assignee, Miller, learned
FROM Downs that their liabilities were Re,
tween 100000 and $500, 900. and that
the assets, iudiciously handled, would
exceed all liabilities.

Followers of Cleveland and Hill on
the War Path,

ALBANY, N. Y, April 5.-Cohoes has
been in the hands of a mob all day and
tonight the condition of affairs is IN
changed, with drunken brawlers and ex-
cited adherents of the " factions still
excitedly discussing the situation. The
Democratic primaries 10 nominate super
%visors, aldermen and a city ticket were
held today. On one side was the Cleve-
land following with p. NJ. Larkin in i'm
mediate command. On the other was the
Hill faction, with Mayor Garside in com
mand. The rioting was confined to three
wards In the other two the Larkin reg
ulars had things their own way. The
LarkIn men had the inspectors; the Gar
side men had the police. The latter were
present at the polls in force.
One of the police tried to force his way
to a polling place. He was warned to de-
sist, but battered in the door with a sledge
hammer. He was struck on the head
with a lead pipe, a hole was cut through
his cheek and he fell back covered with
blood. Then rioting commenced, pistols,
knives and clubs were used; the ballot box
was smashed, and both sides claimed a
victory: Adozen men are reported seri-
ously, if not fatally, disabled. fractional
feeling runs so high it is impossible to Sc
cure reliable news. Two democratic city
tickets and two democratic candidates in
each ward will be the result of the days
doings.

a rather peculiar petition was pre-
Sented to the Kansas house by Mr.. Sher-
man, of Rocks county. 1t was from 1872
citizens of that county. They want the
legislature to make an appropriation for
the purpose of experimenting in the mat
ter of securing artificial rainfall by
means of cannonading. The petition was
as follows: 1--WE, your petitioners, many
of us veterans of the late war, knowing
from experience that heavy r~ainfalls fol
lowed each battle or heavy cannonading,
and believing that this fact indicates that
man may produce rainfall by artificial
perturbation of the atmosphere when
otherwise it would not be experienced,
and believing it would be wise for the
state of Kansas to make a reasonable ex-
pertinent in the matter of attempting to
produce artificial rainfall, would most
respectfully ask you to make an appro-
priation out of the treasury for the pur-
pose of such experiments either by can
nonading or otherwise as may be deemed
est."-Kansas City Star.
