A PRECIOUS PAIR.
A Female Fraud and an Accomplish
Working Iowa Towns.

The Muscatine Journal says: The
papers of our neighboring cities have
been telling about lady who was so.
Letting aid N their cities to get to her
home at some point east or west, just
as the case might best suit the pur-
poses, where her husband (P) is lying
very sick, etc. She is rather hand
some in appearance, dresses neatly
and in manner that does not indicate
poverty. OF course, very few oan re-
sist such u plaintive plea and she sue
ceeds in raking in many shekels. That
same female is in the city, and lie reap
ing rich harvest, making anywhere
from SO to $25 per day. She was bid
to go hence by the marshal. Her hus-
band, or what purports to be man,
followed her about and was at tho
depot with her, laughing at the way
she fooled the people. He is about
thirty years Of age, has dark hair and
moustache, while. she is a pretty blonde
wearing u black silk circular cloak,
black hat and is about twenty-seven or
twenty-eight years OF age They are
precious pair and the press gener-
orally should pass them around. When
necessity requires the female can do
more than lie, she can use profanity, as
was evidenced after she had been
cornered.

Gently purchased large tract OF land
in Indiana for the purpose OF erecting

Big Four, backed by the Vanderbilts
of New York, and the Thayers OF Bos-
ton. Already plans have been pre-
pared for the erection OF the largest
dressed beef establishment in the
world. The new house will be loca-
ted on q 100 acres OF land northwest
of the present stock yards. This land
was recently purchased for the sum of
100000. The plant will cost from

to this there will be constructed new
line of refrigerator cars. The esti-
mated cost OF the improvement Is in

NON-PARTISAN w. 9. T. u.
The First National Convention Pro.
ceedings.

The Non-partisan National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has been
in session In Pittsburg. There were
delegates from twelve states accredited
from auxilaries, with many fraternal
delegates and visitors. Mrs. Il. j,
Phinney, with her headquarters and
sister officers is carrying forward the
work OF the convention with dispatch,
The Allegheny union have provided
most bountifully for the comfort OF the
convention. The first days work
was full Of words OF encouragement
for non-partisan temperance work and
the evening was given TO the annual
address OF the president, and short
addresses By Mrs. rilton, OF Washing
ton, and Mrs. Aldrich, OF Iowa The
latter lady was never more pleasing in
the matter and manner OF her speech.
Greetingsfby letter and telegram came
from many persons TO cheer the con-
vention with the remembrance OF
friends who could not attend, but are
in sympathy with the non.partisan
union. Officers were elected as fol-
lows: Mrs. Il. j, Phinney, presidents
Miss F. Jenny Duty general secretary;
Mrs. L, b. Walker, vlco president;
Mrs. Florence Miller, recording secre.
tary; Mrs. Cornelia Afford, financial
secretary and treasurer. On the bal
lot for president one vote was cast
for Mrs. Foster and an evening paper,
with very poor taste, sought sensa-
tion by u head line, "Mrs. Foster votes
for herself" The convention passed
a resolution expressing indignant sor-
row at this action and asked the Tele-
graph to correct its mistake. The
name and badge question came In the
convention, on the report OF the result
OF the vote by the local unions to
whom the question was submitted.
The vote was light but the majority
favored retaining the name "Non-par.
tisan Woman's Christian Temperance
Union" The convention accepted the
verdict and resolved to again submit
the question to the local unions. There
was some spirited discussion upon the
name for there are good number OF
the delegates who much desire to
change the name. Mrs. Foster made
an address to full house upon the
theme of "The development OF tenn
perance truth" carrying conviction to
the hearts OF her hearers and placing
upon the conscience the duty OF hurry
ing up to secure prohibition before the
chance TO save the country shall have
passed. The address was finely re-
ceiyed.

A LUNATIC'S DEED.
He Shot Gladys Price and was
Looking for Grover Cleveland.

shot through the left lung in New
York by John L. Davis, aged 40, and
now lies in the hospital in critical
condition. Miss Price is the organist
in the Mariners temple, corner OF
Madison and Catherine streets, and
was just leaving the building after
the evening services when Davis shot.
Davis is a lunatic OF the most pro-
nounced character. He had been in
charge OF the reading room OF the
temple. He was arrested. At the
station he declared that Miss Price
was his wife, though the girl AYERS
she never spoke to him. He also de-
clared that Grover Cleveland was
continually following her. He had
challenged Cleveland to fight duel;
saw him in the church with Miss
Price. He said his object was to kill
her and then Cleveland, who had
taken her away from him. Davis ex-
pressed no regret at his act except to
say that he was sorry he did not kill
Mr.. Cleveland, which he said he would
vet do.

A Woman Jumps From a Sixth Story
Window.

Mrs. Charles Coombs, of Brooklyn,
daughter-in-law OF the newly elected
congressman for the Third district, OF
New York, committed suicide in hor.
rible manner. She went to the Pierre
pont hotel and asked for room on
the top floor, saying she was troubled
with palpitation OF the heart and
wanted to be away from all excite
ment. The manager conducted her to
room on the sixth floor She sent
for bottle OF wine and later rang for
a chambermaid. When the latter
entered the room the lady was stand
ing in the center with wine glass in
her hand. Without word she dashed
the glass to the floor and rushing to a
window which was wide open jumped
out. She turned over and over,
struck with terrific force on the roof
OF an extension, then bounded off the
landing on large flower urn stand
ing in front OF the hotel, and then
rolled to the sidewalk. She was dead
when picked up. Her mother is in a
critical condition from the shock. She
had been married seven years, and
lately has suffered from i'll health, and
was undoubtedly temporarily de-
mented.

THE END IS NIGH.
Sitting Bull Not Hostile and His
Braves Becoming ReconciIed.

A Standing Rock agency special,
via Bismarck, says: Major McLaugh-
Inns visit to Sitting Bulls camp had
the effect of stopping, for time at
least, the ghost dances held in con-
nection with the Messiah craze
Mclaughlin received letter from
Bull in which he says he has taken
his friends advice and stopped the
dances. He regards Mclaughlin us
the best friend he ever had; when he
follows his advice he never makes
mistake. Sitting Bulls child was
very sick and he could not go 10 the
agency to draw his rations. He hopes
to see his friend Mclaughlin soon.
Bulls followers are growing less all
the time and that discourages the old
chief. The agent thinks there is no
probability of an outbreak at present
and may not be this winter or spring.
He is working hard with corps Of
assistants and makes strong argu-
ments against the craze; talks to them
singly and convinces them that there
is no foundation for their belief. Only
seven or eight are not worth talking
to and the rest OF the band about
1oO-he can draw away from Bull by
argument. Theagent is very success
full in winning Indians from the craze.
People on the east side OF the river
are fleeing for their lives and no man
in pursuit. The excitement is all
unwarranted. Reports of massacre
forty miles south of the agency are
believed to be untounded. Lieuten-
ant Couder and men with an abund-
ance of OF ammunition for three days,
crossed the river to make tour OF
the country said to be infested by the
Indians. The agent refused to deliver
rations to squaws unless bucks were

The report that the indians were com.

the troops be retained. In reponse
to his request company OF infantry
