DID THE SECOND BURGLARY.

Another Man Convicted OF Robbing
SgeKiansy's shoe store.
Victor A. Iceberg. . white-headed Swed-
ish lad about % years old, was yesterday
found guilty of breaking into the shoe
store Of John Mckinney, on Main street. .
few weeks since and stealing q pair Of
shoes.
The trial was had before Judge Humes,
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Melvin G.
Winstock appearing for the state. Lie
berg's main defense was that he had
bought the shoes of Whitechapel second
hand man.
Mr.. Winstock. in order to give the &C
cused every opportunity to clear himself.
had the secondhand man in court, and
when put on the stand he denied the boys
story and swore that on the contrary the
boy had the same day tried to sell him the
pair Of shoes.
By clever cross-examination the prisoner
was lead to confess that he had just been
released from the county Jail. and the
services of Justices Of the Peace Humph-
rey and Caldwell, who we're to testify to
the fact. were rendered unnecessary. A
peculiar thing is that about three weeks
before the shoe store was burgtarized by
Iceberg it was broken into by Frank Rose
and a sack full of shoes taken. Rose is
now doing time in the penitentiary, where
he went Friday to serve out One-year
term

1T WAS AN OLD DEFICIENCY.

Omission ~ . University Appropriation
Does Not Affect the school.
The statement emanating from Olympia
and printed in a recent number of the
Posr-lSTELLIGENcER, that the deficiency
appropriation bill for the state university
had failed 10 become a law, caused some
concern among the friends and students
OF that institution, a. it was feared that 1t
might mean the Gripping OF its work TOR
the ensuing year. Such, however, IS not
the case. Hon. W. d. Wood said yester-
day:
The legislature. at the session recently
closed. appropriated $4,000 for the main
tenance of the university on its present
site. and $3.50, 600 for buildings on the new
location on section IL. near the lake. The
deficiency o. $50, o65.S5 referred to
in the observation-disclosures was that
caused by the omission OF the
previous session to appropriate any money
IN the act regulating the doings OF the uni-
versty land and building commission.
Tha. body was authorized to sell the pres
ent site aud begin work on the new one.
but no specific appropriation was made
for the purpose The commission DID
good deal Of work on section ID before IL
was discovered that no money Was avail
able. This caused the deficiency referred
10. These bills arc perfectly legal oil
course and only wait an appropriation Tor
their payment. but this IS not likely 10

cluded in the general appropriation bill

CHICAGO. June 12-The forty-irst an.
nual convention Of the international
typographical Union met today with
so delegates present. Mayor Har-
rison welcomed the members and the
convention then went into executive
session on the report Of the committee on
the Childs-Drexei printers home d
Colorado Springs. The home has been a
bone of contention ever since its concep-
ton. The board Of trustees has reported
imperfec.ions In the building and the ex-
pensc Of operating it has been greatly in
excess Of the original estimates. II Is also
claimed that the purposes for which tho
home was established have not been car
ried out. but instead Of being place for
INDECENT unionists ii has been turned int
q hospital for hopeless Affections. The re-
port Of President Prescott, of the board Of
trustees, was considered in secret session
this evening and referred TO special COM
mittee.

Head with IL.
Joe Tucker, alias 'Black Doc" who
struck Wesley Perkins. also colored. in the
head with q slung shot on the night Of
May IL. was found guilty of simple assault
yesterday by Judge Humes' jury. The in-
formation charged Tucker with assault
with q deadly weapon, but Is oil of the evil
dence was circumstantial a convection
of tho lesser offense only could be OBJ
tanned.
The doctors" defense was that he had
broken the head Of his antagonist with
blow Of his fist. Some levity was caused
in the court by the deputy prosecuting at
torney's reference to tho proverbial hard
n ess Of negro's head, and the defense
was not able to make the fist story work.
The slung shot used by Tucker was
offered in evidence I. is only a white
silk handkerchief. in one end OF which is
knotted a bali of tin foil as large as an egg
but rather harder. II is probable that
Tucker will get not more than three
months in the county Jail.

The silver producing states that are
e%ndeavoring to pit area against capital
and ~wealth-that is, the states of Ari-
iona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New
Mexico and Utah, contain a population
OF only 1,O95,621 and produced 57,O59,856
ounces of eilver. The single state of
Minnesota, and Minnesota is by no
means an eastern state, contains a popu.
lation of 1,301,s26, or nearly 100000 more
than all these silver states combined.
The Minneapolis Tribune also shows
that the wheat receipts of the city of
Minneapolis alone during the last year
were worth nearly s10,OOO,OCO more than
the entire silver product of the silver
states, and it is we'll said that "it is ten
times as important that the wheat pro.
ducers should get for their wheat a silver
dollar containing a full dollars worth of
silver bullion, as that a handful of mine
owners should get s1.29 for 70 cents
worth of metal"

HE fact that the crops on the Mis-
souri, slope are better than elsewhere in
the state cannot be denied, but the ex-
treme hot weather of the past three days
has caused some damage in this section,
and it is doubtful if we get a full crop.
The heat of the past three days has been
almost unprecedented. Yesterday the
thermometer registered 100 around town
and SO by the government Thermometer.
Reports from west of the river indicate
still hotter weather west. At Dickinson
and at Miles City it has been hotter
than in Bismarck. Conservative judges
estimate that the damage in this section
already reaches Is per cent, and if the
weather doesn't change the damage will
reach Is per cent. during the next forty.
eight hours. The indications last night
was for a change.
