Carl and DIR. E. f. ScheIg, now con-

aware of the unfortunate suicide of the
bank cashier at 1O:30 yesterday morning
when the news was brought to them in
the cage. They showed surprise at the
deed, but were cautious and would say
little in regard to the matter, evidently
being suspicious of being led into con-

put any different light on their case,
they refused to hazard an opinion and
did Dot ask any questions as to the de-

EDIBLE CALLA LILY.

It Tastes and Is to Be Cooked Like
the Potato.
A new vegetable is about to be intro
duced to the people of the United States
through the department of agriculture.
1t is the root of the Gala lily, which re-
sembles somewhat in appearance the
Iris h tuber, with the addition of a few
whiSkers that have nothing to do with
the qualities of the article as an escu-
lent. says the Philadelphia Times.
1t is more elongated, and when cut
the intrior is trif1e more viscId. But
a section of it is so potato-like you
would not be likely TO distinguish any
difference. In cooking il has first TO be
boiled tO,destroy certain acrid properties.
after which it may be fried, roasted,
baked. or what not, according to taste.
Farmers in Florida have begun to
raise these Gala roots for market. The
plants grow rapidly in the swamps, and
so thickly that the yield of a single
acre is enormous. They produce them
selves by the multiplication of their
bulbs under ground. so that the grower
has simply to dig up the offshoOts and
leave the parents to propagate anew.
For centuries the Egyptians have
cultivated a similar crop during the
seasons of the Nile overflow, and at the
present time Gala lily bulbs are COM
mon vegetable in Japanese markets.
So prolific anu paiatable are they that
their propagation in many parts of the
United States, where conditions are
favorable. may reasonably De looked
forward to as an agricultural industry
of the future.

means pursued in view OF shrinking re-

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE famous
'SectiOn thirty" case. involving iron
lands worth three million dollars. near
Ely, was decided by Commissioner
LamoreauX today. The decision re-
verses that of Register Monroe Nichols
made at Duluth about year ago, and
holds that the right of location on the
southeast quarter of northwest quarter,
and southwest quarter and southeast
quarter of section thirty belongs to
Charles 2. Wheeler At the same time

renee and w. NJ. Stokes, Emil Hart
man, w. NJ. Alden and II. E. James.
Register Nichols decided in favor OF
Alden and James. The claims of WV.

LamoreauX declares, are not sustained,
and that the heirs of David Mover are
entitled to the land covered by portion
of the original entry. The own

is not decided. The case will now be
appealed to the secretary of the inte-
rior. The case is an old one and one of
the most stubbornly fought in the his
tory of the government. 1t is supposed
to contain the richest vein of iron ore in
the United States. and was first filed on

Set uD by Hyde and Mcdonald in 1884,
but when the case finally reached Sec,
retary Villas in 1889, while rejecting
Eaton's claim, he also ruled out the
contestants and held the land open to
entry. When this became known at
Duluth. there was wild rush for the
land office, which accounts for the
large number of parties Interested.
Alden and James, VINO also have been

FOR STEALING BREAD.
A Starving Man Sent to the PEN

A Starving Man Sent to the Penf-
Uentiary for PurloininG a Loaf
New Orleans Picayune.
1t is SAID that there Is a convict in the
Ohio penitentiary at Columbus whose
only crime was stealing loaf of bread
to keep himself from starving. He is
Duncan Carr, a sailor, who has been all
over the world.
He contracted the ''break-bone" fever
in Texas, and after long illness, which
left him pennIless, started for the
North at the advice of his physician.
He got as faS as Northern Ohio, and
was tramping through Huron county,
trying in vain to get work at the COOPER
ing trade, of which he is master; he
was dead broke and had pawned every
thing he had, and his appeals for food
were unheeded.
Desperate with hunger he entered a
house, broke into the pantry and took a
loaf of bread, whereupon he was ar
rested and sent to the peniteniary for a
year to learn that an unfortunate mans
business is to starve quietly and make
no fuss about it. 1t is said that since
the affair has been called to public
notice he is likely to be pardoned. That
will be very nice, but it will not wash
the convict stain off his character nor
off his memory.

an old landmark, built thirty-fve years
