A CHILD FOR A LOAN.
Horrible Treatment ola Little Girl
by Woman Who Had Charge

Judge Corrigan in Minneapolis,
heard the petition of Officer Tatro for
an order to send little May Scholle to
the state school at Owatonna. Officer
Trato rescued the little girl just as she
was about TO be taken on board the
train for Chicago by the Kister woman.
in whose charge she was, and it proves
to have been a very important rescue
for the little one. She was serving rs
collateral for II loan made TO her par
ents by the Kistcr woman when she
was taken by the officer. Her parents
were very poor and last fal! they
moved to Chicago. They had no
money and the Kistcr woman offered
TO advance their fare if they would
leave little May as collateral. The
bargain was struck although with ro-
luctance on the part of the parents
They have not been heard from, and
for nearly a year May has been at the
mercy OF the Kister tyrant. Her little
body has born many marks OF cruel
whippings. She has been forced to
beg on the streets and ia saloons and
if she didn't get certain amount il
meant beating. The Kister woman
frightened her badly by telling her If
she didn't get money she would put
ring through her nose and send her of
on telegraph wire. In the winter
the Kister woman while drunk fell on
the little girl and broke her left arm.
1t was set and two weeks later, while
furnishing her. she broke the arm again
so that now il is Il little crooked
There were several witnesses to testify
to the cruelty Of the Kister woman.
The evidence was heard and the child
sent TO the state school. She is only 6
years old.

soon mass of flames, and every avail
able piece of fire apparatus was called
to the scene. Any attempt TO save
the building was hopeless, and the fire
department devoted its efforts TO pre-
venting the flames from spreading to

RUSSIAN JEWS.
Narrowing stories or Persecution
Told.


Told.
Russian Jews who arrived in Boston
tell pitiful stories of cruelties. Russian
officers ordered all the inhabitants of
the town of Slabtoky TO leave their
homes. They became so enragcd at
this wholesale injustice that they set
fire to their houses and destroyed
them. For this many were sent to ST.
IBERIA and Others subjected TO horrible
cruelties. One man was suspended by
the wrists for two hours. Others told
narrowing stories of general astrocitics
practiceu upon the race by Russian
soldiers, and OF the extremely unjust
laws in force against the Jews. Any
Russian Christian who wished TO pos
scss himself of the property OF IA Jewish
neighbor can obtain it by paying one
tenth Of its value TO the mayor or gov
crIment representative who will there
upon give him authority TO expel the
Jewish owner and install himself as
proprietor. IL is an ordinary occur
renee for Jews house to be burned
over his head, or for II jew TO be
stoned on the street, and it has become
a common saying in parts of Russia
"kill a Jew and pay 20 roubles $50. J"
No other punishment is ever imposed
for killing jew, and this penalty is
seldom imposed. Some Jewish soldiers
wanted to rebel because their families
were maltreated by Russian soldiers,
and all Jewish soldiers were put under
arrest.

THE WORLDS FAIR
Columbian Dairy Association Meet.
ing In Chicago.

The executive committee OF the
Columbian Dairy Association and COM
missioners from various dairy breeders
associations were in session in Chica-
so. The Columbian association met
TO consider the proposition submitted
by Chief Buchanan, of tho Worlds
Fair agricultural department, the
proposition being that the Worlds
Fair authorities furnish the necessary
buildings food and water for each OF
the various breeds during the expo
sition, aud in return take all the
products Of the cattle. 1t was deemed
best, before taking action TO allow the
breeders to meet and prepare re-
port regarding their purposes. The
breeders accordingly met. After
long debate over the question of
churns VS.. a chemical test for cattle
products, it was decided to recommend
all milk tests be made by chemical
analysis. The plan OF six months
dairy school was endorsed and the
committee recommended TO make
test consisting Of one member from
each breed entered, one from coll
legc, one from tho Columbian Dairy
Association. and ono from tho Worlds
Columbian Exposition. Prizes were
recommended TO be given for one cow
Tor one week, for thirty days herd of
twenty-five or more OF the same period
There are to b. iilst second third and
fourth prizes in each division, the
contest To be between different associ-
ations or different individuals.
One entire evening was devoted TO
u discussion OF the proposition of tho
Worlds Fair people, Representatives
OF various breeds had different views
regarding the requirement that cattle
remain six months, Messrs. Boyd of
Illinois, Osborn of Nevada, ana Shcr-
man OF Iowa We're appointed to wait
upon Chief Buchanan and see Il some
plan could not be devised by which
the desires Of tho various breeders
could be harmoni2ed, Professor Hen
ny, of Madison, Wis, delivered an
address urging upon those present the
importance of the work in which they
were engaged.

CLEARING ABUSES.
Phiiade lphia's New CITY Treasurer
Uncarths Sensational Facts.


City Treasurer Waight of Philadel-
phia has written a letter TO Auditor
General McCamant in reference 10 Ger.
tain practices in connection with the
mercantile apprascaship system in
that city. From the facts grouped to-
getber by Treasurer Wright, it APP
pears that glar'ing abuses have existed,
especially in the collection OF delin-
quent mercantile taxes. Last year
8, 500 delinquent suits were brought
before magistrates at acost of $3l, 1874,
resulting in the securing of judgment
in but 5i9 cases and the collection of
81, 725. The state was thus mulcted
for S2S, i67 in this single item. In
addition, 10, 367 names were stricken
from the list by the appraisers after
they had been paid 62I cents per name
for classifying them and advertising
them at an additional expense OF $3.50
per name to the state. Treasurer
Wright charges that exemptions have
been made for political reasons. 1t is
estimated 500, 900 OF state money was
wasted in this way last year. IL is
possible that fictitious names have
also been added to the lists In view
OF all these facts the city treasurer
puts some questions to the auditor
general as TO what he shall do in the
collection OF delinquent mercantile
taxes this year.

They lived in hamlet containing
eighteen houses near Velle. At mid
night, July Is, the Russians from the

death Of twenty Jews and fearfully
burned twenty more. The Jews armed
themselves and retaliated, one young
man whose mother had been burned,
killing three with crow bar. Officers
finally appeared and arrested the
young man and the other Jews. All
will probably be sent TO Siberia.

SHOCKING BRUTALITY.
Odious Treatment OF the wife OF a
Wealthy New York Farmer.

The little village Of Clarence, New
York, is alive with excitement over n
case OF inhumanity and brutality, re-
su lting in the death Of the victim.
Tho coroner is making II thorough in
vestigation. Three and ouc-half
miles from the village lives Joseph
Eckhardt. II well-to-do farmer, worth
at least S25, 900. This is haying time
and Eckhardt and his wife were at
work in the fields. They were on top
of a hay stack when she lost her
footing and fell, breaking her
leg. Some say her husband pushed
her off. Eckhardt let her lay there
until twilight fell when he dragged
the suffering woman by the feet to the
woodshed where she WAS left all night.
I'm the morning he took her into the
house where she remained some days
without medical aid when she died
from the shock and exhaustion.
Neighbors say that Eckhardt has been
habitually cruel TO his wife and has
abused her in "a terrible manner. Eek
hart says he did not strike or maltreat
his wife after she fell as is alleged,
but does not deny the charges Of neg
lect. The Indignation OF the villagers
has been aroused to such pitch that
threats Of lypching have been freely
made. The coroner is holding an in.
quest and Eckhardt will likely be ar.
rested at its conclusion. lie is under

A special from Beatrice, Nebraska,
says: More than fifteen years ago Jack
Marion and Cameron set out together
in a wagon on trip and were seen
last at Blue River. A few days later
the supposed body Of Cameron was
found in the Blue, and when il was
discovered Marion had been seen with
Cameron's team and goods in his pos
session he was suspected OF numbering
his companion. He was apprehended
ten years after. tried several times
and finally executed in March, 1887.
William Wymore, uncle of Marion has
always believed the latter innocent
and finally proved it by finding Cam
eron alive in La Crosse Kansas. The
latter had gone Immediately to Mexico
and thence to Alaska, after leaving
Marion on the banks of the Blue River
and had returned from Alaska only
year ago. Hearing OF Marion's execu-
ton then for the first time and fearing
himself amenable to the law, he con-
cealed his identity, but remorse caused
him to reveal it. He is fully identi-
fed.
