Iowa Prohib;tiOnists.

President J. H. Harvey, of the Iowa
State Temperance Alliance, has taken
steps to reopen the question of the pro-
hibitory constitutional amendment
voted on by the people in
1882, and carried by 10000
majority. Owing to clerical err
rors the amendment was annulled by
the state supreme court, and the pres
ent prohibitory law was then passed by
the General. Assembly. The Temperance
Alliance still insists that the amendment
is part of the constitution, notwithstand
ing the decision Of the court. The the
DRY is that the question was purely a po
litical one land not legal one to be passed
upon by the courts. President Harvey
has demanded of Secretary of State
Mcfarland a certified copy of the con-
stituhon including this amendment.
Mr.. Mcfarland refused on the ground
that the amendment was not a part Of
the constitution. MIR. Harvey then had
served upon Secretary Mcfarland a
notice setting out that petition would
be on file Immediately in the district
court asking writ Of mandamus COM
pelling him to certify as demanded.

WINDSOR, Mo-, March ga clever
forgery has just been revealed here,
which will cost the Woods Brothers

heavily, but as yet the amount
is unknown. On the 9Th inst.
Thomas A. Sibley presented a bill
of lading for lot of live stock, signed
by the agent of the Missouri, Kansas q

Brothers ordered the First National
Bank OF Sedalia to pay the amount adj
vanced on eleven cars of stock. The
bank paid the draft and Immediately
drew on the Woods Company,
the draft being promptly met.
Yesterday Woods Brothers telegraphed
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
agent that they held his bill of ladjng
for the eleven cars of stock, and asked
where the shipment was. The agent
knew nothing of it and wired that the
bill of lading was forgery: Sibley is at
large and is unknown. The railroad
people are investigating.

DRESDEN, March 25.-Gen. Count
George Frederic Alfred Won Fabrice,
president of the council of the ministry
of the Saxony, died to-day. Count Won
FabriCe was minister of foreign affairs,
state and war, having held those posi-
tons since 1886, when Saxony joined
the North German Confederation. He
took part in the Austro- Prussian war
of 1866 as chief of the staff for
Prince Albert of Saxony. Promoted
acknowledgement W, peace was de-
clared, he entered the ministry of war
and recognized the Saxon army. When
the Franco-Prussian war of 1901 was
declared, Count Won Fabrice was APP
pointed military governor of the terri
tory of the Twelfth Corps. Towards
the end of 1870 Count Won FlErice
was placed in charge of the
administration of affairs in the De-
partment of North and Seine at Disc.
After the conclusion of the prelimina-
ries of peace, Count Won Fabrice re-
NAMED in France as chief of the army
of occupation and as the representative
of Prince Bismarck. In June, 1871, he
returned to Dresden and resumed the
ministry of war. He was promoted

A Curious State of Things.

Further developmentsin The Schwartz
bank failure at Louisville, KY, show
that the bank has been practically in
reach about 500, 900, and there are debts
to other financial institutions amount
ing to $4,000. The latter are secured.
The assets outside of the real estate in
litigation include life insurance policies
amounting to Sl25,0O0, but whether
money can be raised to keep these
alive is IN doubt. The losses began
with heavy purchases of real estate
prior to 1873. 1t was bought in an era
OF high prices, and will sell now for
little, if any more than the purchase
money. Further losses have been upon
more recent speculations in tobacco.

Unpaid Bills at Auction.

There was an exciting scene at the
New York Real Estate Exchange on
the 25th, when Martin F. Hatch. acting
for the Merchant Tailors' Society,
stood, with gavel in hand, before a
crowd of several hundred prominent
business aud society men, and sold to
the highest bidder about thirty-five un-
paid tailor bills. These bills bore the
names of well-known New Workers and
those who did not seize the opportunity
to pay up before the sale were held up
to public ridicule. The lucky fellows
who could settle up had their names
stricken from the list. The ridiculous
ness of the sale can be realized when
several bills amounting to seven hun
dred odd dollars were sold in bunch
to Hebrew tailor for 81.

THE KANSAS STORM.
Trains Generally Blockaded and Live
Stock Suffering.

KANSAS CnIY, Mo-, March 26.-Advices
received last night and this morning
from many points throughout Kansas,
indicate that the most severe storm
ever known there ragged over
the greater portion of the
state yesterday. Railway cuts are
full Of snow, and railroad
traffic is at standstill. Every availa-
BILE snowplow has been called into requi-
sition, but they have made little head
way. Several trains have been
caught between stations, among
them the Missouri Pacific pay
train. The company manages to
keep the passengers and trainmen
supplied with food, but if the storm
prevails much longer they will be in
Sorious predicament. Reports from all
directions indicate great suffering to
live stock from lack of food and shelter.
Dispatches received at Santa Fe head
quarters are to the effect that all trains
are blocked west of Newton. At Garden
City no mail has been received for three
days, and no trains either East and
West are expected to arrive before Sat
urday. At Council Grove it has rained
continually for forty-eight hours. The
Neosho River, which began rising Tues
day, is out of its banks in
many places, and is higher than
it has been for many years. On
the Central Branch of the Missouri
Pacific great many poor people are re-
ported suffering for lack of food and

MUEDERERS HANGED.
Justice Melted Out to Two Guilty Wretches
in Pennsylvania.

Justice Melted Out to Two Guilty Wretches
in Pennsylvania.
W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, March 26.-George
Washington Moss was hanged here In
the prison yard at 1918 o'clock this
morning. Moss walked to the gallows
firm and with fearless pace. He said:
"God does not hold me responsible for
the murder of my wife, and l do not
hold myself responsible. l die like
soldier. with SMILE" Death ensued IN
eleven minutes. The hanging was wit
messed by only few persons-the jury
of twelve, twenty-five deputies and ten
reporters. The execution was conduct
ed without hitch.
The crime for which George W. Moss
was executed to-day was the brutal kill
ing of his wife Rhoda on the night Of
the 10th of October, 1889. Up to the
time of the killing Moss and his wife had
lived together twenty-three years, and
for twenty years they had not seen a
happy day. The deceased was so years
old, and the murderer 81. Moss came
here with his wife and children from
Auburn, n. Y. Moss was a man who
drank heavily, and at times ap-
peared to be crazy. His wife was
of kind disposition, and when
ever he quarreled with her she would
never say an unkind word to him In
return. The couple had six children.
One of the presumable inspirations for
the crime was thought to be the humll-
iation Moss felt for being sent to jail by
his son Frank for drunkenness and
abusing his wife. He was an exceed
ingly sensitive man, and, though his re-
lease from prison was brought about
through the woman he murdered, he
believed that she was at the bottom OF
the scheme to jail him.
MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, March 26.-The
jail was crowded this morning to witness
the hanging of Oliver William Stangley.
The drop fell at 11:04. His neck was
broken and he died without struggle.
He was pronounced dead at 10
The crime for which Oliver William
Stangley suffered the death penalty to-
day was committed in Weatherly on
Saturday, October II, 1889. At few
| minutes before O'Clock on the forenoon
of this day, Mrs. Sybil A. Walbert, the
wife of Albert Walbert, was
found lying dead on a Lounge
| in the parlor of her home with bullet
hole through her body, showing that
she had been foullv dealt with. Wal
bert, his wife, five children, and Stang
lev, as boarder, were the occupants of
the house. Stangley was arrested,
charged with the crime, and confessed
that he committed the deed because he
was in love with the woman and she
failed to reciprocate his guilty affections.
