SHE WANTS BALM.
And She Wants 1t From the
Courts, Not From Gilead.


An unusually interesting case has
made its appearance in the district
court through complaint filed by Nellie
Brown. She brings suit against John
W. Conlow. a local attorney, whose of
fee is located at $40 Boston block. for
$4,000 damages for alleged breach of
promise. The story, CLEANED from the
complaint. is as follows: f,
Miss Nellie Brown, the plaintiff. kent
q boarding house at sos Third street
north. COnlow came to board with her
in 1882. In 1888 they were engaged to
be married. soon after their engage
ment, the plaintiff alleges, ConIow tsok
advantage of her affection for him, and
continued to do so until 1891. On Dee
l, 1890, daughter resulted from their
intimacy, the birth occurring at st. Paul.
Miss Brown sold out her boarding house
as soon as she founnd herself in
trouble and went to st. Paul to hide her
condition from her friends. The child
was given to an old lady in whose care
she was TO remain until the plaintiff
aud defendant were married. Then
they would take the child as an adopted
daughter. This was Conlow's sueges-
ton Miss Brown claims. The marriage
did not materialiZe, however. To evade
it, Miss Brown alleges, Conlow induced
her to 90 to Chicago and live for a time.
then return and marry. In this way
the friends would be completely thrown
off. When at Chicago, she alleges, Con-
low refused to send her money with
which to return, or even communicate
with her. She earned the necessary
funds as soon as possible, and came
back last August. Upon her arrival
she was told that the child was dead,
and that Conlow was engaged to an
other woman. The latter engagement
resulted i'll marriage not long ago. This
marriage brought on the suit. The
complaint states that the child is NOT
dead, aud Miss Brown asks for its Gus
tody. ConlOw, she says. has kept the
girl in hiding ever since she was placed
in the care of the old lady OF st. Paul. g

A Very Sad Divorce Case.

A very sad divorce case came up yes
terday, and was continued to next Sat
urday. The case is the outcome of
woman relying upon the promises of
one who causes her ruin. About three
years ago Wilhelmina Johnson brought
suit against August johnson in the mu-
nicipal court on the charge of bastardy.
The case was settled by marriage. No
sooner had the marriage ceremony been
performed than johnson left his wife,
and never returned to her. A few
weeks after the marriage he left the
city, and has, never returned. Nothing
has been heard of him. The child was
born shortly after the marriage. In'all
probability the decree will be granted
without great amount of investigation.

fortune is SpOtleSS

But Few Attended.

The meeting scheduled for the West
last night, at which it was expected to
start movement for the erection of a
soldiers monument in Minneapolis did
not draw out very big attendance.
Not more than dozen persons attended.
About all they could do was to informally
discuss the project and make arrange
ments for setting the movement on its
feet. Committees were appointed to
investigate the feeling among the
Grand Army posts and among the peo-
pie at large. Another meeting will be
called in a week or so, at which it is eX-
pected to arrange definite plans for
carving out the idea.

question OF Heilpern's authority to in
dorse the mill checks and cash them,
and whether the bank people had the
right to assume that he did have such
authority without first receiving notice
from the mill folks. The bank people
admitted Heilpern's embeZZlemeut be-
cause of his conviction. This was the
point which caused the great length of
trial the last time the case came up.

A COUNTESS ROMANCE.

She Spent Her Fortune and Her
Life Searching for Her Son.
Lying on one of the cots at the st.
Joseph infirmary,'corner of Coirtlaud
and Baker streets, today. is Prussian
countess. whose life Is fast ebbing away,
says the Atlanta Journal.
No fiction ever told a more romantic
life-story than that of this strange
woman. who is quietly but earnestly
pleading with God to let her die.
She is the Countess Mein Won Eel
kleka.
A little over twenty years ago the
Countess Won JewitZsa was one of the
happiest and fairest maidenS in PruS-
STA. OF noble and wealthy family,
surrounded by all the luXuries that her
heart could wish, this beautiful girl,
courted. tiattered and admired by all,
the idol of her parents and the adOred
OF many suitorS, she was indeed blessed.
But life clouds soon dri1ted across her
horizon and excluded the sunlight OF
happiness. Her father was eXiled from
his country, and with his protecting
love removed she was forced to marry a
man whom she neither loved or respect
ed-the Lord Won Zetkieka, an officer
in the Prussian Amy. Or course, their
union was an unhappy one. The hus-
band drank heavily and abused his
wife, vino finally refused to live with
him. He took their only son, bright.
handsome child, and left Prussia. The
countess, when she learned that her son
had been taken from her, became
frantic.
She sold her estates, and learning
that her husband was in America, fol-
lowed him to this country. The reSo-
luton to find her boy burned itself into
her mind 1t became her life'S purpose,
her one hope, the sole incentive for re-
naming alive.
Search as she would, she could get
no trace of the boy. The husband, she
learned, died several years ago, leaving
the boy alone.
The strangest thing in the room was
an oil-painted sign directly over the
head of her bed. 1t was framed and
hung just like 4 picture, and bore this
strange sentence:

An Uncle to His Wife

A very curious state of affairs in
relationship was brought out by mar
riage license, issued yesterday. Clar-
,ence Proud was granted license to
marry Laura Matheny. The mother OF
Laura is the wife of Proud's brother.
This makes Proud stepson of his
brother, brother-ln-law to his mother
in-law and an uncle to his wife, yet
there is no blood relationship.

There seems to be another side to the
peopl e who favor the removal say that
there was no division in the board of
managers. Rev. c. c. Herriott objected
to working under any sort OF a board.
The board decided to remove to st.
Paul. and did SO in spite of Mr.. Her
riott. 1t is claimed that the board had
a right to remove to any spot on earth
which it chose to do so. Mrs. Morrow
refuses to have anything to do with the
controversy over the removal, prefer
ing TO let the quarrel die out. She is
satisfied with her course. and cares moi

A WISCONSIN BATTLE.
Republicans Attack the Dem ocratts Re.
apportionm ent Measure.

NepubHcans Attack the Dem ocratfe Re-
superintendent Measure.
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 1S.-Suit was
brought in the supreme court here to
overthrow the apportionment made by
the last Democratic legislature and
whatever decision is rendered endless
complications may follow. Should the
present districting be declared uncon-
stitutional radical Democrats say an
extra session of the legislature would be
called which would not only pass an
apportionment bill to its liking, but
michiganize the state, thus assuring
several Democratic electors this fall.
On the other hand, hot-headed Republi-
cans threaten; even ii the present suit
ls not sustained, to nominate men,
bers of the legislature in the old dis
tricts. In this Democrats would nomin.
ate in the new districts and the result
would be two legislatures, and the gov
ernor would have to decide which TO
recognize. This scheme, of course, as
sumes the election of Republican gov
ernor
The moving spirit in the present suits
has been A. j. Turner, of Portage. The
suits are brought in the name of Dis
trict Attorney S. w. Pierce, of Adams
county. He presented petition in the
supreme court through ex-Attorney
General c. f. Estabrook. The COM
plant alleges that the districts were
made without reference to population
and are not of convenient and contiguous
territory. The court took the matter
under advisement and will decide next
Tuesday whether it will hear arguments
or not. Observation-Disclosures

The thieves belonged to adesperate band

They have robbed the mines here Of

population here, who are greatly ex-
cited over the killing Of the thieves and
who threaten an attack upon the Ameri-

partly burned by a band of Mexican
bandits about year ago and the fears
OF the Americans are believed to be
well founded. The Ranger company
here will give all the protection possible
in case an attack is made. ....
