RUDYARD'S ROAST.

With Rudy Kipling frowning upon
New York and a British syndicate
grasping our dstilIeries to boost the
price of corn mash. it does look as
though the latter days of the republic
had arrIved.-New York World.
Esteemed contemp's who ARE having
fragments of Rudyard Kipling'S letters
telegraplied from London might save
money and please their readers better
by simply clipping the letters from the
Times, in which they appear in full
Chicago Times.
Rudyard Kipling has been railing at
New York in reasonably clever fash
ion, wherefore number of staunch pa
triots are now railing at Mr.. Kipling- AS
a matter of fact, the attack made by the
young author is no occasion for bad
feeling. 1t amuses him, and, If New
York will pardon the statement, it gives
edification to a number of others.-Chi-
cago News-RecOrd.
1t is too bad that Rudyard Kipling
found our municipal government so
largely administered by what lie calls
''alieus." The young mans bitterness
of spirit eXciteS shadow of suspicion
that he may have been arrested by an
Irish policeman for getting intoxicated
with the eXuberance Uf his own veIboS-
ity.-New York Press.
In answer to Mr.. Kipling's counter
blast against New York it IS pertinent
to remark that in understood Liverpool
there is more of unrelieved distress,
more of hopeless vice, dirt, disease,
nameless crime and human degradation
generally than in the great city of New
York. There is not large city in Eng
land in which angordinarily humane man
can live with any peace of mind other
wise than by res0lutely closing his eyes
to the unpleasant results of English CIV
iIiZation which surround him in the
ubiquitous sums New York World.

CHICAGO, May 13.-Miss Emma Sea-
mans, of fremont, o., comely bru-
nette of thirty-hye, who showed that
she is of good family and has a snug

the insane court here today under Pc
culiar circumstances. She was very in

and declared 1t was the result of spite
work Oil the part of an old acquaint-
ance, Mrs. White, with whom she has
been visiting.
The two ladies had been con-
sidering establishing a worlds
fair boarding house in partnership.
Miss Seamans says she finally decided
not to go into the venture, and angered
Mrs. White by refusing to advance her
money. Fuel was added to the quarrel
by Miss SeamanS accusing Mrs. White
of theft, the latter, however, declaring
the money in question to be due for
board. In revenge, or to foreStall her
own possible arrest by Miss Seamans, it
is allegedsthat Mrs. White decoyed Miss
Seamans into a carriage this morning,
on pretense OF taking her to the rail
way station for home, but instead drove
to the Detention hospital and had the
Ohio lady locked up as insane. No
witnesses appeared against Miss Sea
mans and Judge Brown promptly Or
dered her discharged. Efforts to obtain
a statement from Mrs. White were in
effectual, she being not at home when
iIlQuirerS went to her apartments.

BATTLED LIKE AMAZONS.
Deadly Personal Engagement by
Factory Girls.

obeOAJ
ADMISSION, Ala. May l5.-The cotton
mills of the Admission Manufacturing
company were the scene of rough and
tumble fight yesterday in which girls
were the fighters. One girl IS Oh her
death bed, and at least six Of the others
are blackened, bruised and scratched
and under the care of physicians, who
fear blood poisoning in some cases.
Miss Jessie Pierce and Miss Robbie
Brown. two stout specimens OF Ala
bama womanhood, whose prominence
has made them the ccnters of the two
factions into which the employees are
divided, were the principals in the case.
For several days spirited rivalry has
existed between them, supposed to have
sprung from their claims Oh common
beau. When they reached the mill
yesterday they refused TO speak. The
action was observed by their comrades.
Soon the necessity Of their employment
drew them together. Miss Browns
face expressed derlslon, and Miss
Pearce, drawing her arm back with the
science OF Sullivan, sent her fist under
Miss Browns jaw, hurting her to the
floor in a swoon. She then jumped upon
her adversary.
Miss Browns friends ran to her res
cue, only TO be met by those of Miss
Pearce. In moment dozen women
were together on the floor in a mass,
pulling hair, scratching faces, hitting
each other in the head with bObbins
and screaming and crying frightfully.
The machinery was brought to stop,
and the superintendent, aided by other
men whom he bad called to his aid,
pulled the women apart. 1t was soon
seen that Miss Brown was in dying
condition, and that others were Sc
riously hurt. Hacks were ordered and
the women were hurried off to their
homes. Warrants were sworn out
against Miss Jessie Pearce and a half
dozen others. They will be held to
await the result of Miss Browns in
jurieS.

DISASTROUS BLAZE.
The WOIterstoff- Haskell Hard
ware Company DemoraIiZed
by Midnight Blaze.
A Loss OF About $4,000 Inflicted,
Covered by Insurance for
Double That Sum.

Fire in the four-story brick block on
East Seventh street occupied by the
Wolterstorff Haskell Manufacturing
company caused loss of about $25,-
600 last night. An alarm was
turned in at 1I:30 by Sergeant Sex
ton from Seventh and Wacouta streets
and when the department reached the
scene flames were bursting from the
rear and side windows of the fourth
story. Chief Jackson had several lad
ders raised. and number of streams of
water were turned on the fire, which,
after two hours hard labor. was
confined to the fourth story. 1t origin
mated in the rear of this floor, but the
cause was mystery TO both the mem-
berS of the firm and Chief Jackson, as
no infammable material of any kind
was stored there and 10 rubbish had
accumulated
The alterstOrff-HaskelI Manufaet-
uring company consists OF }. II. Walter
storff, who is president; j. T. w. De-
Jong. vice president. and S. c. Haskell,
secretary and treasurer. They manu-
facture wrought steel ranges and hard
ware materials OF all kinds, be-
sides doing large retail business.
Their saiesroom comprised the first
floor and basement Of the build
ing. The second floor was used
for storing purposes and the manufact-
uring department comprised the third
and fourth floors. Here is where the
greatest damage was done. A large
amount of machinery together with
fiVe-horse power electric engine was on
the third floor, and On the fourth there
was big stock Of material,
number of costly patterns and some
machinery. This part was completely
Quilted, and the contents are necessarily
a total loss. The main damage on the
other floors was caused by water.
MeSsrS. WalterStoff and Haskell were
interviewed. and placed their loss
in the neighbnrhood of 100000.
They were insured for SO, 600
with various companies. The
stock carried was valued at between
1000 and $4,000. The fire at this time
of the year is especially serious, as the
firm had just commenced their spring
trade, and several large orders were
waiting to be filled. Thirty-fve men
are thrown out of employment until the
house is ready to commence operations
again.
The loss on the building is about
$1,000, which is also covered by insur-
ance. The building was erected by the
present owner, James IL. Weed. in 1884,
and has been occupied by the hardware
company since that time. The latter
will endeaYOr to secure temporary quar-
tiers until the structure has been re-
paired. but it Is probable they will wait
until their new factory, now in course
of erection on the West side, is complet-
ed before commencing manufacturing.

was arrested again and sent to the peni-
Tertiary for fifteen months. This an

revenge. He was released few days

house and demanded 10 see the girl. The
door was closed Oil him, and he pro-
ceeded to break it down, when young
Raver took a Winchester rife aud shot
him dead. the bullet entering the brain.
Raver gave himself up. but the coron-
er's jury brought in verdict of self

COME TO THEM.

The advice of the New York World
to all young Americans who can afford
the time and money to go TO the ma
important ones are to be held in the
West, and it will do the young mensin
the East good to come out to this region,
especially if they are not familiar with
the West. They need have no fear that
they will not find room in the Twin
Cities. Chicago and Omaha, which have
all the big conventions. The crops
q were good in the West last year, and
the surplus on hand is abundant
There will be no starvation. Several
hundred thousands could not strain
this averment uncomfortably. All
isfied. None should remain away
from either event for fear of being
crowded. There will he crowds. of
course, but they will be good-natured
and harmless. All will not have re-
served seats in the conventions, but as
a.rule visitors nearly all manage to get
a view of the conventions in session.
That is as much as should DE expected.
There is always more fun and more to
see outside. Nervous and timid people
who cannot stand little jostling in the
popular condensation had probably bet
ter come later. But the average citizen
who wants to see things and have the
fun should start on the convention
rounds in the earliest days of June.

HARBORED 4 VIPER.
Appalling Double Killing by an
Iowa Fiend.

Iowa Fiend.
CREsToN. To-, May 15.-The most hor-
rible crime in the history of this section
of Iowa was disclosed on small farm
near Prescott yesterday. Returning
home this afternoon from Brooks, where
he had gone, William COonS found his
wife tied to her bed with bullet wound
in her head. Lying on the bed was his
little daughter, also murdered with one
shot from the deadly revolver. Mrs.
Coons had evidently been assaulted and
then murdered. The little girl had at
tempted to escape, but was shot down
in the yard by the brute, who then
brought her back to the house and laid
her OIL the bed.
COons at once suspected his nephew,
boy named Joseph Dooley, aged nine
teen, who had been in his employ for
year. and who was found to have left
with Coons' team and wagon. 1t was
also learned that Dooley had purchased
revolver on forged order signed by
his uncle. 1t was with this weapon he
was supposed to have committed the
murder.
Dies MONIES, To-, May 13.-Joseph
DOoley was captured at VilliSca last
night, and confessed to a reporter in the
jail this morning. He claims the crime
arose from quarrel about herding
cattle, but it is believed he attempted
to assault Mrs. Coons, ana then killed
her and the little girl. Lynchtng is
feared tonight.
Dooley was taken to Council Bluffs
for safe keeping by the sheriff as he
feared that all attempt to lynch him
would be made.
Is DOOey said that he struck the woma Il
with a paddock and then shot her. The
little girl on screaming was done to
death in the same cruel manner. While
waiting at the depot in the custody of
che sheriff fOr!removal he and the sheriff
were surrounded by an angry mob who
attempted to lynch him. Deputy sher-
ifs were rapidly sworn in, and the
prisoner was safely placed OH a train
for Council Blu ifs. where he was landed
in jail this evening.

was peculiar. They fastened the right
foot of each man to his left knee. and
then secured their hands behind their
hacks. Then they picked Fox and
Houser up and threw them over the

Quickly jumping into the cart, the

GOING TOO EAR

There is said to be reason in all
things. Doubt, however, is thrown
upon the universally of the statement,
when the postal department strains the
anti-lOttery law SO as 10 exclude from
the mails newspaper for publishing a
report of church voting contest and
rattle. This was done last week in the
case of the EfiiRgham Democrat,
weekly paper in Illinois. 1t is one of
the oldest and best conducted sheets in
Southern Illinois, and probably had no
thought Of violating the law. Its sub
sciibers were deprived Of the property
for which they had paid by the action of
the postal department. The proVoeation
seems almost too absurd for eredenee.
1t is the business of the paper to pub
fish the news. The festive feature of
the church economy was in this case
good and proper local matter 1t could
not be given fully ana omit the voting
contest and rattle. These may not be
commendable ways of raising money for
religious or benevolent purposes, but
that is not in point. There are many
transactions reported in the papers that
are in violation Of law and propriety.
They are part of the news, and must
be published as such. The manage
ment of the postal department en-
croacbes upon popular rights i'll presum-
ing to interpOSe personal whims in the
disposition of mail matter. 1t ex-
Guided Count ToLSToIs book from
the mails when the only objection to be
urged to it was that its theories were
unsound and not adapted to the social
conditions. No moral purpose was sub
served, as the book then had ten readers
where it would not otherwise have had
one. The extirpation of the lottery
system does not require such interior
ence with the privileges and duties
of the press as in the Illinois case.
Then the patrons of the papers have
rights that should be respected.
