I WNoSA, Mimi, Dec. 2.-The myste-
nous disappearance of young Northrup
from his home about two weeks ago has
at last created an exciting interest.
Though nothing was known by outsid-
ers sufficient. at first, to warrant any
criminal charges being made against
the boys father, charges of foul play
are now freely made by parties who are
familiar with the family. The boy, it
Is claimed, was sent to dig potatoes q
short distance from the house, and he
has not been seen since he went out to
dig. The father is not at all alarmed
over it. When told he should advertise
and try to find the boy, who was IA
years old, he put a notice in the paper
forbidd:ng any one to trust him. An
investigation has been put on foot and
itis believed will result in unearthing a
terrible crime

rneculation Experiments.

WAsHISoToN Dec 20. 2.-The expert
nents at Ottawa. uls.g 10 test the value
OF inocculation as preventive Of hog
cholera have advanced sufficiently to de-
eide one point, probably the only one to
be decided by this test. Fifty-fve hogs
were bought. Eighteen were inoculated
by the government method, eighteen by
the Billings method and the balance
were not incculated at all. The thirty
six inoculated were put together and
those not inoculated separated. OF
those inoculated by the Billings method
four died, while those inoculated by the
government method and of those not
inoculaJed none died. The conclusion
of the government bureau is that the
Billings method of inoculation is dan
gerous. Other experiments viii be
tried later.

WAsHlsGTpN. Dec, q. Speaker Crisp
has In his room at his hotel book con
tanning the name OF each representative
and the positions on committees which
he seeks and the recommendations for
and against him Il is. in short, chart
for the speakership situation ir Its
present state. The speaker has now
heard from nearly every member OF the
house. I'm same cases the requests were
made verbally. In some they were SUBJ
mitted in writing and in others they
reached the speaker indirectly through
third parties. Many of the members,
and especially those of experience, have
signified their first, second, third and
even fourth preference, SO that they are
almost certain to be satisfied when the
result is known. There are some
gaps In the speakers chart, caused
by the absolute refusal of some men,
bers to express any choice, but
the instances are few With this chart
before him the speaker is taking up the
list of congressman, alphabetically, and
with the knowledge of the committees
upon which there are reelected mem
bers who served last year, is endeavor-
ing to frame his committees for the
highest good of the majority. 1t is the
general opinion that Speaker Crisp will
not follow in the line laid down by his
predecessors, Dut will cause general
breaking up of old alignments. Just as
soon as the committee are named the
speaker will leave the city. Great inter-
est centers in the composition of ways
and means committee, and speculation
is rife. Considerable pressure is being
brought to bear upon Speaker Crisp to
appoint Representative Andrews, Of
Massachusetts, as one of its mem
bers instead of Mr.. Stevens, who
had been practically selected.
As viewed from what information
that can be gathered by those nearest
Mr.. Crisp, Mr.. Blount will be placed at
the head of the committee on foreign
affairs. Mr., O'Ferral, of Virginia,
chairman of elections committee; Mr..
Mills, chairman of interstate and foreign
commerce committees, and Mr.. Bland,
chairman of committee on coins, weights
and measures. The judiciary commit
tee will in all probability be headed by
Mr.. Catchings, of Mississippi. Mr..
Holman win take charge of the commit
tee on appropriations and VIII have as
his Democratic associates Sayers OF
Texas, Breckenridge of Kentucky, For
ney Of Alabama, Compton of Maryland,
Nutchler of Pennsylvania, Wilson of
Missouri and two other Democrats, one
of whom is O'Ncill of Massachusetts,.
The remaining members Of the commit

HATTIE WAS VICIOUS.
More Trouble in the Smell Family
at Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 1S.-A new chapter
in the troubles of the Smell family was
unfolded to-day which may rival the
mysteriousness of the murder of
Millionaire Smell and the disappearance
of Tascott. A few days ago Hattie
Juerst, a nurse girl employed in the
family of Albert J. Smell, was arrested.
charged by her employer with larceny.
1t now seems that the son of the dead
millionaire, who had placed two private
detectives in his family, didn't do this
merely to ascertain whether or not
Hattie Juerst had stolen
few valuabIes. but to discover the
cause Of the strange illness of Mrs.
Smell. For some weeks past Mrs.
Snell's health has been falling very rap
idly. Finally 1t was noticed that a
tonic she was taking was having a de-
cidedly bad effect. One day she
found in the bottom of the
bottle white sediment which
her physician said was not part of the
tonic. Then VINE was substituted for
the tonic, but the same bad effects fol-
lowed. and the doctor told Mr.. Smell his
wife was being poisoned. An exam
ination disclosed the presence in the
wine of the same powder that mad
been found in the tonic. Detectives
were employed and Hattie Juerst's
arrest on the larceny charge followed.
In her trunk was found $500 worth of
Mrs. SnelPs property and vial of white
powder, apparently identical with that
found with the tonic and wine bottles.
The powder has been submitted to a
chemist for analysis, and pending his
report the attorney for the Smells re-

Is IT. oh. Is 1t. TascottP ?

CHICAGO, March 1s.-It is stated to-
night that A. G. Clark. the jeweIer, left
this afternoon in company with mes
senger, who has the indictment against
Tascott, for Aberdeen. S. D., to see
whether the man under arrest there
is the Smell murderer or not. Mr..
Owen, brother of the Aberdeen, Dak.,
man who caused the arrest of the sup
posed 1ascott. said to-day that he and
his brother were positive they had the
right man. Their attention had been at
tracted to the prisoner by the interest he
took in the quarrel between Mrs.
A. j. Smell Jr. and A. j. Stone, which
resulted in two suits for 100000. The
suspect outwardly answers the descrip-
ton of Tascott. the gold filling in the
teeth showing up prominently. At Alb

the filling III his teeth to be removed.
This was followed by the mans arrest.

IS HE THE MAN?
Supposed Arrest of an Omaha
Murderer.

SAPPOSCo <1EfcSG OIL an Olnana
Murderer.
CHICAGO, March 1S.-The arrest of
Mike Silk, alias Frazin, alias Shorer,
for participation in the Hussander
jewelry store robbery few weeks ago,
during which one of the burglars was
shot in the leg, and the proprietor
narrowly escaped death, promises to re-
suit IN an explanation of one of the most
mysterious murders ever committed in
the West. Last May Charles Poor, a
well known citizen of Omaha. and treas
urer OF the laundrymen's association.
was found dead in that city by an
open window of his residence. The
only clue the Omaha police had was
stolen hat from an adjacent barn.
Charles White, who was supposed to
have been connected with several burg
laries which had occurred Just previous
to the murder, was arrested in St.
Louis, but the evidence was not suf-
ficient to hold him. About ten days 20
the police in this city were informed
that Silk was the man who had
killed Poor. The informant said Silk
had confessed to him that he shot Poor
while he was robbing the house, ana
that he was accompanied by man
named Henry. The Chicago police have
an affidavit of the man who says Silk
confessed to him, and have notified the
Omaha authorities. 1t is expected that
SIX will be sent to Omaha to answer
for his crime.

French spoilation claims, was included
in the bill. The miscellaneous appro-
priations act shows a decrease of So

excluded most of such appropriations
