KICKING AT ABsENTEEs.
Digs at Republicans Away Fix
ing Up Fences.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-About the
only conclusion reached by the Repub-
lican representative in caucus this aft
ernoon was to go on with the Langston-
Venable election case at all hazards.
There was long discussion, and some
members who have been lukewarm in
their support of the election committee,
and others who are extremely anxious
to get away to attend to private busi-
ness or political matters sought
to escape the necessity for re-
naming in the city. There were also
several members who were induced to
remain over Sunday by the promise that
the election case should be disposed of
to-day, and they expressed good deal
of disappointment at the failure of
quorum to materialize to-day. But the
large majority of the members present
took the ground that it would be bad
politics to retreat, and they succeeded
in getting the caucus to arrive at the de-
termination stated, There was some
lively denunciatiOn of the members who
by their absence, it was alleged, re-
tarded the public business and post
pOned an early adjournment, and there
was some talk of fining them heavily if
they failed to appear. But nothing of
this kind was agreed upon. and the
caucus, after going over the list of ab-
sentees and receiving statements from
their state delegations, satisfied itself
that quorum could be obtained by
moral SuaSiOn, and did not adopt
more vigorous measures than could be
contained in appealing kilograms to alb
SenteoS.

LUVERNE, Sept. pa sensational ar
rest was made at this place by Sheriff
Henton at 10 o'clock this morning. Miss
Nellie d. Willoughby was arrested as
an incendiary for burning the livery
barn of John A. Cameron, on the night
of Jan. II. Thirteen head of horses
and all the trappings were consumed
in the fire. A few days ago Miss May
Owen made a confession to Cameron
that her mother and Mrs.
Freeman, sister of Miss Will
Oughby, set the fire and received
from Miss Willoughby $50 for doing the
work. Upon the affidavit of the Owen
girl. eliminating her mother and Mrs.
Freeman, the warrant was issued and
the arrest made just as Miss Willoughby
was about to board the Omaha train for
Florida to spend The winter. Miss
Willoughby was the wife of John Cam
erOn. She obtained divorce from him
last fall at Madison, S. D.. where she
owned considerable property, the court
allowing her to resume her maiden
name. She is woman very prominent
in certain circles of society. She is the
author of several books, and a lecturer
on social purity of some renOwh. She
has some means and takes life in an
easy way. The arrest of the other
parties implicated will take place to-
day. 1t is the greatest sensation that

TO SAVE HER SON.
Mrs. Ann Eliza Holden COnfesses
a Murder.

MONTICELLO, ILL.,, Sept. o. On the
way to Joliet penitentiary Mrs. Ann
Eliza Holden made a confession to DR..
j. ID. Knott that it was herself and son,
Edwin Holden, that killed Harley Rus
sell; that she dressed in Albert Dun
hams clothes and wore his shoes; that
she held the horse while Edwin Holden
shot Russell. She says that Calvin Hol-
den knew nothing about the killing un-
til after it was done; that Dunham was
in bed and took 10 part whatever, but
that she had made threats against Rus
sell i'll Dunham's presence. She admits
having got the Honselman revolver
Friday before the shooting, and that
she took it home Sunday morning after
the shooting. Before leaving the Jail
here, her son, Calvin Holden. threw his
arms around her neck and lmplored her
in Gods name to tell who did the shoot
ing and save his life. She said the rea
son why she did not tell the correct
story here was that she feared mob
would hang her and Edwin. They did
not want any new trial, but were very
anxious to get off to the penitentiary at
Joliet. Just what effect her statement
will have and just how far it will go
toward saving the lires of Calvin Hold
Ell and Albert Durham remains to be
seen.

ROGER is RIGHT.
Truth Pounded Into the Ears of
the Badgers.

RACINE, Wis, Sept. 22.-Roger @.
Mills opened the Democratic campaign
in this city tonight and addressed an
audience of 5000 people at Lakeside
rink. Chairman Wall, of the Demo-
cratic state central committee. and other
prominent Democrats from all over the
state were present. He devoted con-
siderable attention to the question of
compulsory education and the Bennett
law, and said that the Democratic party
took its stand for the inalienabie rights
of family government and against the
right of the state to interfere in
the manner of a child'S education.
He said that man had no right to put
hand OH his mouth and prescribe what
he should eat or drink. This is one Of
the rights granted in the constitution.
Man was responsible for his own ac-
tions and not for any one else.
He charged most of the members of
the Republican party with being in ia
vor of prohibition and established
church and all other forms of paternal-
ism. In closing his address he spoke of
the effects of the tariff on the farming
community, and argued in favor of
opening our markets and hav-
ing the compliment reciprocated by
allowing our products to go into all mar
kets of the world unhampered. This,
he thoughts would stimulate trade in
our country; it would give boom
to transportation, and all forms of IN
duStry would feel the effects.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-To-night fatal
ended remarkable contest for the pos
session of fortune of 100000. The
contest thus ended in a tragedy began
with an elopement. Alfred Richner,
several years ago, was the husband Of
noted brothel keeper. Notwithstand-
ing his marital relations and his un-
savory record. Richner succeeded in
clandestinely working himself into the
good graces of the daughter of a wealthy
-four and feed dealer named KeSsler.
Upon Mr.. Kessler's death, the
daughter, who seems to have been
somewhat supplemented, disclosed
her attachment for Richner. The in
slant opposition of the family to any
recognition of that worthy resulted in
the prompt elOpement of the couple to
Montreal. Richner later went through
the form of obtaining divorce from
the brothelkeeper and having his mar
riage with Miss Kessler legalized. They
returned to Chicago. and a feud was
soon engendered between Richner and
his new wife's brother. The latter ac-
cused Richner of being actuated solely
with adesire to lay hands on the fort
une of the sister. Legal struggles
and personal encounters between
Richner and young Kessler have
been frequent, the latest prior
to this evening being at court
room, where Rlchner, apparently to
place the brothe-in-law in ridiculous
light. emptied small sack of flour on
his head. Recently, it is said, Richner,
failing III his efforts to get at the KeS-
sler patrimony, has threatened to kill
every member of the family. Tonight
he met young Kessler on State street
and attack ed him with a cane. Kessler
drew a revolver and rapidly fed three
shots. Two were stopped bv Richner's
watch. At the third he dropped
and Kessler Immediately put two more
bullets into his sisters husband while
the latter was PROSTATE. The shooting
took place in crowded part of State
street, and for few moments caused
wild stampede of passers-by. Kessler
gave himself up to the authorities. He
said he had been advised to arm himself
by the clty;s chief of detectives and by
his attorney, Gen. John g. Black. Not
withstanding his wounds, Richner clung
to life tenaciously, and his first words,
on regaining consciousness for a few
moments, were that he be allowed to see
his wife, she whose brother had just at
tackled him. Richner, the doctors said.
could survive but few hours.

PAYING THE RED MEN.
A Bill Reported Calling for Six
Millions.

Millions.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-From the
house committee on Indian affairs bill
was to-day reported to pay S6,211,714 to
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nation of
Indians for title in fee simple to 6,201,-
633 acres of land in the Indian territory,
being land which the Indians in 1866
leased to the United States for the eS
pecial purpose of locating other friendly
Indians and freedmen thereon. Of the
amount to be paid the Choctaws are
to receive three-quarters and the
ChickaSaws one-quarter. The report
accompanying the bill describes the
land as "leased iands," and says that
there can hardly be any doubt as to the
title to them being vested in the In
dians. OF the lands to be ceded to the
United States, 427,2O1 acres are to be set
apart to be given to the Indians under
the provisions of the land-in-severalty
act. The report says that the price to
be given for the lands was fixed at S1.25
an acre. From the amount thus found
to be the value of the whole tract, 20
cents an acre was deducted because of
he money paid under the treaty leasing
them for the location of other Indians
thereon, and the further amount of
$300,000, which was paid directly to the
Indians under the treaty of 1866.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--The first
case under the new antl-lottery law of
refusal of admission of newspaper to
the mails because it contained a lottery
advertisement, occurred at the city
postoffice here early yesterday morning.
The anti-lottery act was signed by the
president Friday, and the postoffice de-
partment yesterday sent to the city
postoffice instructions with respect to
the execution of the law. In obedience
to these instructions, John Doyle. one
of the clerks, notified the newspaper
offices that the papers would not be car
ried through the mails if they were
found to contain lottery advertisements,
and that the publishers, under the law,
would be liable to arrest if lottery adj
vertisementS were mailed. When the
usual sacks of papers to be sent out of
town arrived at the postoffice early in
the morning few copies of each paper
were examined by one of the clerks.
The clerk found that the Sunday Chron-
icle, pOper of very limited circulation,
contained the lottery advertisement as
usual, and notified the proprietors that
the copies could not be received.
