Mic" Schneider, remembered for his
connection with the celebrated Cook coun-

to Alexander B. Sehully for the benefit of
his creditors. This is the second assign.
ment made by Mr.. Schneider within two
years, consequently the failure is not one
that will affect business circles, but there
is a story said to hang over the failure that
is quite interesting.
About three years ago Schneider had q
boiler and engine shop on the West side,

among the county commissioners. He was

Ku,nored Competition with the Western

A story was printed in a Chicago local
paper to the effect that the American Tel

known rs the Long Distance telephone,
bad been systematically extending its lines
ever since its organization until it con-
troiled a complete system and had notified.
the Western Union that it was now ready
to enter the field for telegraphic business.
A reporter called on the officials of the
Western Union and found that the story
was a great surprise to them. The local
manager of the telephone company said
the superintendent was in the east and that
he knew nothing about the matter. "We
ara doing telephone business now," he
said, "bnt no t~elegraphing, although we
arc at liberty to engage in the latter under

with the policy of the company and cannot
say if such q scheme is probable. Ihaldly

Description by . voyassur Of the Work of
b ships

Description by . voyageur Of tile Work OF
theS ships
An Associated Press correspondent on
board the United States steamship Allan
ia, in q letter from Lisbon, describes the
experience of the squadron in its trip
across the Atlantic. Referring to the
dropping behind of the Yorktown he says:
cat 2 p. m. on the 18th. in the height OF a
furious southwesterly gale and tremendous
sea, the commander of the Yorktown made
signals to the flag ship requesting permis-
sion to sheaye to- which was granted.
From that time the Yorktown dropped
astern. The action of her commander is
no more than could have been expected.
The Yorktown is a comparatively light
ship. carrying o very heavy battery.
Thus it would have been the height
of folly to have kept the vessel. with her
peculiar design, running before such a
heavy sea. Hal one of the monstrous combs
which from time to time rolled over the At
!anta's and Boston's sterns ever plunged
on the Yorktown's main deck it would have
Quilted her fore aud aft. During the night
and all next day the sea ran mountain high,
but the Atlanta, in spite of her low fore
and after parts, rode it like a duck. as did
also her sister ship. the Boston. Nothing
could more forcibly convey to the mind the
fury of the Atlantic than the sight of those
huge cruisers tossed like the tiniest Of
playthings by the sea. Scudding under
reefed fore and main topsails and %foresail,
burying the mnzzles Of the guns under
water Mt every roll, it seemed incredible
that their canvas would stand or that
they could long continue to run before
such a sea. No thought of Lying
to-" however, suggested itself to the mind
of Admiral Walker. The Chicago rolled
on and on and the two gallant briggs fol-
lowed, even if they did occasionally hide
their entire fore and after parts under the
green seas. On the morning of the 14th
the wind lulled considerably, but before
night fell it came to blow with renewed
violence. At & n. III. Oh the 18th the Bos-
ton made signals that her boilers needed
repairs, and the Chicago and Atlanta
slowed down until the repairs were COM
pleted. Fog, heavy rain mud q nasty,
choppy sen were the principal features Of
the remainder of the voyage. A set of
more seaworthy vessels never pat to sea.
During the entire lun and in the face Of
exceptionally bad weather, they maintained
at half power an average speed Of over nine
knots an hour. A remarkable perform
ance, and It's safe to say one that has never
been equalled by any squadron.

y KANSAS Youth Of as Suicides for kpye.
Inc attempt ut suicide of young Louis
iAurth, at Atchison, while il is serions and
may result in death, has its funny side and
is the cause of much amusing comment.
Inc boy is but 10 years old and is the son

'aehed as schoolmates and their friendship
''lnened into puppy love-" But they
4'alfeled. Next day the boy saw his
sweetheart with another fellows and he took
an oath to die. He selected the hour and
IL restaurant as the place. He coolly
walked INTO the restaurant q few minutes
oeiore the appointed hour, where he
ioafed about until the clock struck.
aaa 'hen he drew a 32-caliber pistol and
shot himself i'll the left breast. While
bleeding rrofusely he continued to stand.
ana hourishing his pistol in a most tragic
manner he asked for chlofoform that he
might die peacefully and with aNellie's
name on his lips" On the lunch counter
alter his friends had taken him home was
1oaha IN his handwriting the following
note:

AN MisER.
He Refuses Himself Assistance for Fear.

Attorney Theodore G. Case called at the
Offices of the Chicago humane society to
investigate the report that Charles G. Case,
an aged miser. said to be worth 800, 900,
was dying in want and poverty on his large
farm near Glenwood.
A%hundantly able to buy all the ~luxuries
and comforts money can buy, the miser,
it is alleged, is permitting himself to die
without medicine, without medical atten.
ton and with nothing to ease his pain.
For months he has endured the agonies of
a terrible disease and no one has been per-
mitted to come near his miserable abode,
lest their aid should cost something. He
is said to have hundreds Of tons of hay
stacked around his farm which he has re-
fused to sell, expecting to get more for it
later. The humane society is investigating
the matter.

TO eastern schools. Too few of the In

to have any beneficial effect upon the
great mass of Indians when they return to

sent TO the reservation schools and these

n Fast Mail Train Ditcl,cd by i. Broken
Rail.
The Union Pacific fast mail, going west.
ran off a switch at Sydney about daylight,
having struck Il broken rail. The train,
which consisted of two engines. two mail
cars, II baggage car, three Pullman
coaches aud a dining car. was badly
wrecked. The engines kept on their wheels,
but the cars were overturned and caught
fire. Soon one couch after another was
ablaze. Only two passengers were hurt,
and those only slightly, SO they had only
the loss of some OF their personal effects to
mourn. The two mail cars and the bag
gage car were burned. Most of the mail
and all of the baggage aud express matter
was consumed. The rear sleeper, the din
ing car and the two engines and a portion
of three Pullman cars were all that was
left of the train. AS the engines were in
good shape only a delay of two hours was
required to clear the track. The baggage
master, C. 7. Dobbins, was severely in
jured. The Pullman cars, "Sweet Water
and "Castle Rock, were badly damaged.
