An Entire Family suffer MySteriOuSty-A
Daughter Dead.
OMAHA, Neb., June 26.-Seven mem
bers of the family of Conrad Lehnig, a
tailor, have suffered since last Thursday
night from a mysterious poisoning.
One daughter died last evening. On
Thursday one daughter was gradua ted
from the high school and in preparin G
for this event the ordinary routine of
the household was upset and no
regular meals prepared. After
returning from the graduation
exercises in the evening, the
family partook freely of luncheon,
one feature of which was salad COM
posed of lettuce, vinegar and lard.
Shortly after eating Of this all were
taken i'll with pain in the stomach and
vomiting, but medical aid was not pro-
cured until late Friday night. II
physicians in charge are una BILE to de-
termine whether it was mineral OR
vegetable poison, and say it will re-
quire chemical analysis, if even that
will tell.
Aside from the daughter who died
last evening, the other members of the
family are in fair way to recover, al
though the mother and second daugh-
ter are very low. There is no mea rs
of knowing yet if the poison was in
tenticnally placed in the food, as none
of the family can give any detailed ac-
count of the occurrence. So far as can
be judged from appearances the affair
was purely accidental.

THE ANARCHIST MONUMENT.


Unwilling of the Memorial at Waldheim
Cemetery.
CHICAGO, June 26.-The unwilling of
the granite monument erected to the
memory of the five anarchists Spies,
Parsons, Fischer, Lingg and Engel-
which took place yesterday afternoon
at Waldheim cemetery, was an impress
i've ceremony. More than $500 per-
sons assembled at the burial ground TO
stamp once more with their approval the
sentiment and actions of the men whom
the state OF Illinois found guilty of
treason and put to death.
The crowd was orderly and the few
policemen, under whose protection the
ceremony took place, found little to do
beyond keeping the sympathizers with
anarchy in line if they surged through
the gates of the enclosure. 1t was Z
crowd of Germans, Poles and Bob emil
ans. Scarcely an American was to be
seen and the exercises were carried on
mainly in foreign tongues
The character of the speeches could
not be called incendiary but rather that
of mild protest against the existing or
der of government The ringing ora
tory of the days when the red flag
waved where it pleased was gone, and
all the enthusiasm the orators
could bring from their auditors
was an occasional outburst of
applause not yer. certain in its
sound. A marked feature OF the era
tory, however, and one which was
most literally applauded was show
ing of strong animosity toward Judges
Gary and Grinne1 and other officials of
the law who had been prominent in the
celebrated trial

A SEARCHLIGHT.

There were five of us encamped one night
ON Lightning creek in eastern Wyoming.
Dick Benton, familiarly called Double
Voice Dick, the best ventriloquist l ever
knew, was one OF our little party. During
the evening he told the following story:
1T was not far from here that had one
of the narrowest escapes OF my life.
THAT was in the summer Of 1873, at the
time of the first mad rush for the new
found goldfeids of the Black hills.
II had caught the fever and was making
for the new Eldorado with old Jim Scott
for companion.
He had the greatest faculty for detect
ing the presence OF Indians-why, he could
actually smell them In the dark.
"We had settled down for the night In a
little bunch os timber, but had not built a
fire, for the reds were as thick as hornets,
and we did not believe In hanging out a
sign to notify them where we were.
"They were doing their level best to keep
the whites out of the hills. and the soldiers
were aiding them by stopping trains, con-
fscating property and marching paleface
intruders off the reservation.
"Well. we were just doing of to sleep,
when of sudden old Jim sat bolt upright

Nearer and nearer we approached TO the
sounds, but as we approached we became
more uncertain as to their location, for they
seemed to shift about in a remarkable man
ner.
Suddenly old Jim sank down with a low
hiss. Iquickly dropped by his side, asking

ut seemed that with the searchlight--
which was probably lantern with pow

accomplish their object of destroying US.
"But fortune had favored us at the start,
for the light began to move here and there
over the plain. and once more we were
shrouded by darkness.

swiftness and caution we hurried toward
the timber where.we had left our horses.
