would yield equally well. For that
purpose limited amount Of stock
was offered to the public at the ex-
tremely low price Of ten dollars per
share.
Albert decided to invest his en-
tire capital in'this promising spec
ulation. He paid over eighteen
hundred dollars, and received in
return a certificate Of one hundred
and eighty shares, which he SHOW
edwith greatsatisfac6on to his wife.
"The shares, it is thought, will
go up to twenty dollars in month";"
he said.
But unfortunately they did not.
They remained at par only week,
and then declined to nine. Some
what uneasy, Albert went to the
secretary Of thecompany for an ex-
planation. Hewas assured by that
gentleman that it was all right;
that the decline was owing to the
efforts Of large operator whowish-
ed to buy in cheap, and profit by
the subsequent advance.
Ii this was the cause the opera
tor was successful, since another
week brought down the price to
seven.
Mrs. Grafton urged her husband
to sell out.
"What, and lose over FIVE hun
dred dollars?" he exclaimed. "I
am not such fool"
"But you may have tolosemore."
"No, the officers say it is all right.
They are now digging wells. AS
soon as they prove successful the
stock will take a bound upward"
Meanwhile the stock sank to five,
and again Alice besought her hus-
band to sell. "You will get back
nine hundred dollars" she said.
"And lose nine hundred? No,I
will see it through" he said.
Poor Alice looked on with dis.
may. Her heart sank within her
every day when she took up the
evening paper, and noticed "a fur
ther decline in the stock IN which
her husband sail wasinvested. She
saw that he was too headstrong to
be influenced, and looked forward
sadly to the entire loss Of the money.
The decline continued, until the
stock touched three. Albert began
to feel serious.
"What do think of your stock?"
he asked Champion.
"I am out Of it," was the reply.
"Out of it. When?"
II sold out at four-I have lost
confidence in it."
In a panic Albert went to mis-
} broker and directed peremptory
sale. The next day he sold'out, re-
alizing two dollars per share, in
) stead Of the original ten, making

A RondO Domestic Gives Her EN-
plOYers Sad Trouble.


Annette st. Clair, a quarter blood
Sioux girl, employed as domestic at
140S Rondo street, disappeared Tuesday
night, and has not been located up to
date. The young woman is rather
pretty, very dark brunette. with more
of the French woman than the Indian
in her appearance. She had been en-
ployed by F. S. Aldrich at the address
given for two months past. Since her
residence with the family she has acted
so strangely that Mrs. Aldrich became
afraid of her, and couple of days ago
gave her notice to leave. This she did
not desire to do, and begged very hard
to be retained. Mrs. Aldrich at last
consented to keep her. on condition
that she became more regular in her
hours.
Two weeks ago the girl went out at
1880 in the evening and did not return
until 8 O'Clock next morning. She was
so jaded and weary on her return that
she had to go to bed and stay there all
day. Mrs. Aldrich says the girl looked
as though she had walked all night. Her
clothes were bedraggled and her gem
eral appearance showed that she had
covered a great distance. She was
called to account for her behavior and
she told her employer, weeping as she
spoke, that If he knew what she had
been doing he would not reproach her.

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.

Two Floaters Taken From the
Mississippi Yesterday.
Two floating bodies were found in
the river yesterday. At in the morn
ing Thomas Oper, watchman on the
Omaha railroad bridge, saw the body of
a man floating beneath the trestle work.
The DGcas street police were notified,
and they brought the body ashore. The
remains were those of man about forty
years of age. and were badly decom-
posed, having, in the opinion of Coroner
Quinn, been in the water about four
weeks The face was unrecognizable,
and there was not a scrap of
paper or anything to give a clue
as to the identity of the deceased.
The body was dressed in a canvas coat,
with plain collar, vest, flannel shirt,
and pair of gray pants, striped, with
heavy black shoes and iron heel plates.
The remains were buried in the after
noon by Undertaken Volk, in the Ger
man Lutheran cemetery, no inquest be-
ing held.
The second body found was that of a
female infant, about four days old. 1t
was discovered at in the morning by
Officer Haney among some floating logs
below State street. The body was en-
tirely naked, and appeared TO have been
In the water several days. The coroner
believes that the child was thrown in
the water after its death. No inquest
was held, and the body was inferred in
the German Lutheran cemetery.

DAvY TO STAND TRIAL.
The Alleged Forger Brought Back
From HOchester


Israel Davy was brought to st. Paul
from the Rochester insane asylum and
arraigned yesterday before Judge Egan
on the two indictments found against
nm Tor forgery at the instance of J. Ii.
Drake and other mem bers of the Drake
company. Davy was adjudged insane
IN the probate court few DAYS ago.
The physicians at the time of the exam
nation were not of the opinion that the
young man was violently insane. but,
considering the facts of hereditary
insanity in the family, and pecul-
lar transactions Of the young
man himself deemed it advisable to
place him under surveillance at the hos
pltal for time. When Deputy Sheriff
kinney went to the asylum to bring
Davy to this city. Supt. Kilbourn
deemed it unwise to surrender his
patient without legal advice. Attorney
General Clapp was communicated with
by telegraph, and upon his advice Davy
was surrendered. When arraigned
Davy seemed rational. W. F. Carroll,
who appeared for Davy in the probate
court, will defend HIM, and objected to
the trial at this time, or whilst Davy is
not discharged from the asylum as
cured. The objection was overruled by
Judge Egan. One of the cases against
him will probably be called for trial to-
day or tomorrow.

Severance objects.
Mr.. Severance objected to the intro
duction of the copy as evidence. as the
selection of few cars from the ship
mentS of year did not represent the
average Of year.
The witness could not state what the
average shortage was. He had known
as much as fifteen bushels short on a
car. 1t ran from nine to fifteen bushels
at its worst. Mr.. Byjorge had only three
cases of shortage in 1890. one in 1888
and four in 1887. Mr. Severance dep
recated the effort to introduce such
selected losses as testimony represent
ing an average shortage.
Mr.. Claussen wanted to know wheth-
er or not the committee would like to
listen TO the testimony of 200 or so of
witnesses, who would show that they
had received average above the state
rates instead of shortage. A large num-
Der of such witnesses could be sum-
moned. Their testimony would show
the inc0rrectness Of country scales as
a rule.
1t was finally ruled to admit the state
ment as to certain carS,as showing cases
of excessive shortage.
The statement was then read, and the
cars showed shortage of from two and
a half to nine bushels exclusive of dock
aye.
Mr.. Bjorge was asked to prepare
statement from his books, showing all
the shortages. the numbers of the cars.
and Senu it to the committee to be used
in evidence.
