turned and got into her buggy. In

face soiled with blood. Witness cried:
Alice, who has cut you?' Miss Mitch

Alice said: us there much blood on
Alice replied: "Wipe it off," but
changed her mind at once and cried,
ut is Freda's blood and love it." Suit
ing actions 10 her words, she kissed her
bloody hands, staining her lips.
The attorney general then took turn
at the young lady. She denied that on
the Sunday before the killing she had
gone to the steamer Ora Lee, and with
Miss Alice, had searched for the Ward
girls, but finally admitted that her pres
ence on the steamer was to see the
young ladies. but she denied that she
told the young ladies that she would fix
the Ward girls OH Tuesday.
Witness then entered general
denial of having any knowledge of
Alice's intention and said that she her.
self had never gone wild, nor did she
know that Alice carried razor. Upon
being pressed to answer why she fol-
lowed Alice when the latter was killing
Freda Ward, the girl said, Just to see
Alice tell her goodby," and began to
weep bitterly. She was taken from the
stand and carried to her seat. The
court frowned and said he would hear
no more today. Tonight Miss Johnson is
in the Jail and is said to be suffering
from nervous prOStratlOn. ''lf she re-
mains in the Jail another month";" said
her physician, ''She will die."

Miss Wizards Report
5 The exact wording of the minority re-
port offered by Miss Willard was much
sought after tonight, as likely to play
an important part in the coming ma
tional convention of the Prohibition
party. The full text is as follows:

tinction of sex.

the chief foundation of corruption in our
politics, and we denounce its perniciOus in
nuence upon our country, and we demand
We hold that the states respectively have
full authority to legislate concerning the sale
OF Intoxicating liquors within their borders.
therefore, when the people have by law in
terdlcted or restricted the sale thereof it is
the duty of the federal government to re-
spect their action and collect no revenue
from the traffic within each state. except
from persons permitted to sell under state
authority, and, whenever the laws of any
state shall prohibit or restrict the sale of in
toxlcants. we demand that congress. in the
exercise OF it's powers TO regulate commerce
among the states. shall forbid, under proper
penalty. all persons except those duly au-
thorized by local authority from transport
Ing liquors into such states; and we arraign
the Republican and Democratic parties for
not respecting the reserved rights of the
state in these particulars.
July the Date.
July was finally selected as the date,
the place for holding the convention be-
ing left to be chosen by sub-com-
mittee of ten to be appointed by
Mr.. Taubeneck. of Illinois. Oma-
ha was favorably mentioned, and
also Kansas City. Kan. The latter date
was given the preference over May "a.
for one reason, because it was alleged
that an early convention might be in
the interest of Leland Stanford, as a
Republican presidential possibility. and
in addition, July would afford oppor-
tunity to see what the enemy-the Dem
ocratic and Republican national con-
ventiOnS would do.

SEED LIENS NOT A TAX.
Decision That They Are Merely a
Debt.


BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 24.-The de-
cision of the supreme court today in the
case of Yeatman VS.. Foster County
involves the validity of the much adver-
tised seed lien statutes passed by the
legislature of 1889, and again in 1890.
The act construed provides ihOart that
''if the said Indebtedness (for the seed
grain furnishedD be not paid on Nov. l,
1889, the amount thereof shall be en-
tered upon the tax list of such county
for the year 1889 as tax upon the land
upon which such seed WHEAT was sown,
to be collected as other taxes are, and
the sum so entered and levied shall be a
first lien upon the crop of grain raised
each year by the peason receiv-
upon the real estate owned by such per-
son until the tax IS fully paid" Judge
Rose, in the district court, held against
the validity of the Statute in so far as
the lien became tax upon the land
which would be paramount to prior
mortgage membranes. This decision
is affirmed, the court holding that
chapter 43 of the Laws of 1889, and
chapter 152 of the Laws of 1890, in so
far as they attempt to make the lien for
seed grain furnished hereunder supe-
rior to the lien of mortgage executed
before these statutes were enacted, are
repugnant to the provisions of the fed
eral constitution forbidding the impair
ment by any state of the obligations of
contract. Tho obligation of the per-
son Supplied with seed grain under
these statutes to pay the county there
for is not q tax, and cannot be made
tax by the legislature. 1t is mere
debt"

TIRED OF LIVING.
A Young Woman Kills Herself at
NorthfieId.

Special to the Globe.
NORTHFIELD,M Mimi, Feb. 24.-Phoebe
L. Ingersoll. awell-known young woman
of this place, committed suicide during
the night by taking strychnine. The
Young lady was thirty-one years of age,
and had formerly resided in Dodge Cen
tire, but more recently was OF Kasson.
She had been-liying with her half sis
ter, Mrs. James Christian. for some
time, and had become acquainted with
a number of Mortified people. She
had been respondent for some time,
but no idea was entertained by her
friends that she contemplated COM
uniting suicide, and their surprise was
therefore the greater. The Christian
family was aroused from sleep about 10
O'Clock during the night by groans in
Phoebe's room, and their inquiries
.eliciting no response, they went to the
room and found her in the thrOes of
death. The family had retired shortly
after II o'clock, Miss Phoebe, however,
having been in her room since o'clock,
and It is probable that She took the
poison shortly after that hour. DR.. A.
j. Schmidt was at once summoned, but
found her beyond medical aid. He
asked her what she had taken the
poison for, and she replied ito kill her
self" Upon his informing her that he
could not save her she appeared re-
lieved and said she had long been tired
of living. Shortly after midnight. after
suffering over an hour from terrible con-
vulsiOns, her spirit passed away.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Feb. 24-"Burn him
at the stake, TeXarkapa treatment is
none too good for him'' That is the
punishment which the people of Sedalia
demand shall be meted out to a negro
outlaw who last night startled the town
with series of extraordinary crimes.
Within two hours he committed two
assaults, two highway robberies and
burglary. For these the people de-
manded that he should be burned at the
stake, land, if he is caught while the fever
of excitement is still at its height, they
will themselves enforce this demand.
AT 10 O'Clock last evening a negro
with his face covered by white mask
entered the house of Mrs. Morse, a
widow aged siXty-ive years, choked her
almost INTO Inconsistencies, stole few
valuableS and escaped. A little later
he met Ii. P. Buckley and Miss Matte
Gilker. When abreast of the couple the
negro ordered them to hold up their
hands. but Miss Gilker at once fled in
one direction, while Buckley fed in an
other. The negro pursued the woman,
threw one arm around her neck, and
with the but end of the revolver struck
her on the head. telling her to the
ground. Buckley recovered himself
and ran to his companions assistance.
Other pedestrians appeared at that mo-
ment, and the negro escaped. A half
hour later the browning act of his
nights villainy occurred. 1t was
CLOCK when Charles Taylor. a
r nit MI 60
were returning from social gathering,
they were waylaid by masked high
wayman. After Mr.. Taylor had been
relieved of his purse, the robber. at a
pistols mouth, forced them to walk
mile from town. When the open prairie
was reached the villain bound Mr.. Tay-
lor with rope and assaulted the
woman. The husband was then re-
leased and the pair permitted to depart.
A mass meeting was held this morning
amid much excitement. Over $4,000 was
raised in few moments as reward for
the capture of the ruffian. and short
work will be made of him if he is
caught.

Lille johnson est es in the
Men phis Sc.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. feb. 24.-There was
an odor OF warm blood perceptible in the
criminal court room today so horrible
were the details of the Ward
Mitchell tragedy as told by va
Lille johnson, who testified in
her own behalf. The story of the
killing was told by other witnesses, and
one of the principals related the history
of the relations of the young ladies.
When Miss johnson told how Alice
Mitchell kissed her own bloody hands,
screaming it was Freda's blood,
woman tainted and was carried out.
Before Miss johnson took the stand
she tainted in an ante-rOom while in
consultation with her lawyers, and
when she had finished her story and
had undergone severe cross-examina-
ton at the hands of the iron-bearted at
torney general she was almost bodily
carried to the seat Prominent phvsi-
clans from here were present this morn
ing, and people of all grades were out
In full force. The present issue is Miss
Johnson's application for bail under. the
writ of habeaS corpus. and it is the
opinion of those that followed the testi-
mOny that she has not MANY points in
her favor. Miss Johnson's attorneys
made desperate fight to show that
she knew nothing of Alice's inten-
tiOns when they parted in the buggy,
but they partially failed to do this.
Jack Williams heard Misses Mitchell
and johnson whispering i'll front of the
custom house; saw Alice follow the
Ward girl: saw Lille johnson follow
Nd ha
buggy close to the incline and wait for
Alice. He heard a scream, looked down
the incline and saw Alice slashing Miss
Ward with knife. She grasped Freda.
and drawing her head back, pulled
the razor across her throat. After cut
ting her in the face the blood spurted
on Miss Mitchell's face, hair and hands,
and she rushed up the hill. Williams
saw her wringing the blood from her
right glove. When Miss Mitchell
reached the top she cried: "Lill, l have
done herr
This closed the states list of witnesses
and MISS JohnsonWas ordered to testify
in her behalf. The young lady was
almost carried to the stand. having
tainted before she raised her head. and
on her face was look of awful misery.
She knew Alice Mitchell for five wears.
and knew the Ward girls two years.
Joe was her favorite, while Alice was
friendly with Freda. She loved Freda,
and Freda loved her. When the two
girls were separated Alice confided the
story of her love to the witness, and
often wept that she could see Freda no
more: On the day of the murder she
was driving with Miss Mitchell. After
they had gone to the custom house
the Ward girls passed and Alice
said: "Oh, Lii, Freda Ward
winked at me and l am going
to bid her good bye" She followed
