THE BELIEVER IN BARE FEET.
Lectures on His Water Cure Delivered
Recently In Berlin.

Pastor Kneipp, the famous water
doctor from Worrishofen in Bavaria.
the modern place of pilgrimage of the
water enthusiasts of all countries, has
come to give three lectures here to his
followers on the wonderful effect of
his water cures, says q Berlin CORE
spondent of the London NeUS. Nearly
1000 persons assembled to hear from
Father Kneipp's own lips the myster-
les of his system.
Pastor Kneipp makes n very sympa-
thetic impression. His long black cas-
sock covers n medium sized strong
body, on which rests an energetic
heat Although his hair is rather
gray his Dushy eyebrows are deep
black. From the way he holds him.

As he says, he owes his life and strength
and which he has lived up to since
1912.
He said that what could not be cured
with water was altogether incurable.

that hydropathy, and especially his
method, uniLes all these advantages.
He insisted that he was not a medical

work. He himself had been given up

had cured himself with water. and his
love for his neighbor had led him to
apply the same cure to his fellow-men.
And good results had proved that his
method al the only right one.
Finally Pastor Kneipp pleaded for
the use of simple food and clothes, as
these things, combined with the use OF
water, would produce a healthy hu.

LLOYD ASPINWAlL FREE.
The New York CIubman's Brother Comes TO
His Rescue.

New York, July Lloyd Aspin-
wall, who has been under arrest on a
charge of having forged his brothers
name To a check for s., 400, is again a
free man, and the charge against him
has been blotted out. lie was taken
before Justice Koch in the ioriSville
police court for n hearing. His
brother, William II. Aspinwall, vas
also present. lie testified before the
referee several weeks ago that the
signature on the back Of the 81, 400
check was not his.
Under oath he said that the in
dorsement might readily have been his.
lie explained that his testimony before
the referee had been misunderstood.
What he really said, Mr.. A~spinwall
told Justice Koch, vas that the sigma
ture was TO the best of his knowledge
not his. Since that hearing, he said,
he had discovered hat some of his
checks, signed in blank, were out at
the time his brother gave the 81, 400
check in payment of a gambling debt,
and IL was quite possible that this par.
ticular check bore his signature.
Mr.. Aspinwall was visib'y agitated
during the cross examination, but he
was not hard pressed by the counsel
for John Delahanty, TO whom Lloyd
Aspinwall gave the check. and after n
brief hearing, Justice Koch ordered
that Lloyd Aspinwall be set at liberty.

NEW HISTORY UNEARTHED.
Interesting Discoveries Made in the vatl.
car TO Be DiscIosaj.


CHICAGO, July 2s.-At the geographic
cal congress, which will meet in the
memorial art palace today and Friday,
a number of historical papers will be
read concerning the discovery o,
America.
Some of the facts to be disclosed will
be a surprise to modern historians, as
they have been buried in the archives
Of the vatican at Rome for centuries.
Among the papers to BE- read is n by
w. E. Curtis. For many years it has
been contended hat the vatican con.
tanned evidence TO prove that
the Norsemen discovered Americs
before Columbus and many at
tempts have been made to examine the
papers. They were not examined,
however, until last fall, when Mr.. Cur
tbs in the interests Of the exposition re
quested of the pope the privilege Of
seeing the documents. The pope or.
dered al investigation and j. G. Hey
wood, an American scholar in Rome.
represented the United States depart
mcnt OF state in the matter. Over 400
documents were examined. These
documents did not prove the assertion
of the Scandinavian scholars that the
voyage Of Lief Erickson was known &c
Columbus, but they did prove that Q
Catholic bishop resided in Greenland
at the time, and that he reported tc
the pope that there were UNEMPLOYED
regions south of Greenland that were
peopled by savages.

HURON, ). d., July 27.-Mrs. Dane,
the woman arrested here on Monday
charged with stealing a horse and
phaeton from a Sioux City liveryman,
was returned to that city today. The
won'a formerly lived here, but Se-

gagement existed between herself and
a certain printer; on the morning of
the day she was to wed the disciple of
Faust, she married Dane, and when
lover No. put in an appearance, he
was coolly informed that another man
had captured the prize. After leaving
here She was lost sight of and quite for
gotten until her arrival here last FRI
day with the Sioux City outfit. She is
quite Indifferent concerning the mat
ter, and believes she will have no
difficulty in clearing herself of the
charge of theft when confronted by the
parties who w the rig. At this time
she is not known by the name of Dane.

pEPPsREo THE INDIANS.
4 Nebraska Farmer Shoots Into a SQUAD
of Red Soldiers,

W fNOA sAics
OMAHA, July 3i.-An exciting scene
occurred at Fort Omaha, in which q
aumber of the Indian soldiers formed
= mob and attempted TO lynch j. II.
Victory, a farmer. At the moment
when they were about to accomplish
their purpose, L. N. Hanson, n wei
known scout, rushed in with a revolver
m each hand and stood off the Indians
till troops arrived. For some time
squads of Indian soldiers have been in
the habit of raiding the orchards on
the farms adjacent to the fort and
helping themselves to the green apples.
Sixteen redskins, led by High
Eagle, n chief Of considerable fame in
the Sioux nation, who took a leading
part in the recent uprising at Pine
Ridge, were in the act of taking pos
session Of several trees in Farmer Vic
tory's orchard, when tho granger came
out of his house with a double-barreled
shotgun and emptied it p~romiscuously
among the soldiers. Several were shot
and Chief High Eagle fell mortally
wounded, several bullets penetrating
his lungs. The Indians Immediately
drew their six-shooters and the farmer
returned TO his residence. which
was at once surrounded by
the Indians, who fiourished
their arms and uttered war whoops that
alarmed the entire neighborhood. The
farmer kept behind cover, but from a
second story window covered the lndi-
ans with his gun and kept them from
the house.
After holding a consultation and as
c~ertaining that High Eagle was fatally
hurt, the Indians divided their forces
and attacked the house in front and
rear. AS the Indians were preparing
for the charge Scout Hanson dashed up
from the fort and with a revolver in
each hand called on the excited red
skins to quit the premises. They knew
Hanson To be a terrible fighter and hes
itated for a few minutes. Assistance
from the fort saved the farmer and he
was placed under arrest.

deceased, left ESQ, 900 francs to two
nephews on condition thai instead of
melancholy memories, that no one
would believe, they should for one
year each day affix u copy Of one of his
culinary recipes to his gravestone, SO
that even after his death he might
benefit his fellow men. No less than

placed upon cemeterial monuments, re-
fused to admit the fulfllment of the

MEREDITH SIDE OF THE CASE
He Put Up the One Hundred DOL

Sheriff Knott Gave His Personal Check tor

Supreme Court.

SIOUX FALLS, S. d., July 27.-Some-
thing should be added to the account
given in Tuesdays special in relation
to the method by which c. A. Christie
pherson, confidential clerk of Joe
Kirby. was induced to open the vaults
in the Mulhall block. He was given
800, the arrangement with him being
made by l.. B. Meredith. Mr.. Mere
dith, Sheriff Knott and States Attor-
ney Bailey all agree that they knew
that Kirby was working in harmony
with his clerk in order to get 500, and
that they secured the services of tho
clerk under these circumstances. They
all deny that Meredith's action
could be construed as IA bribery Of
the clerk. 1t now begins TO look
rs though some one had made
an expensive blunder. The 800 was
raised On the personal check of the
sheriff, who intended to Tux it up as
costs to be paid by the owners of tho
building before the injunction could bo
raised. But the owners of the building
are nou-residcnts and have not been
made parties TO the suit. Attorneys
say that they canno be held for these

cumstances will either nave to foot the
bill himself or get it out of the prohi-
~bitionists, if indeed he is not already
secured as many think. Mr.. Meredith
is out in q public letter in which ha
denies that he bought up the clerk and
says that he knew all the time that
Kirby was in the deal. He concludes
with the remark that he is neither a
villain or a sucker.
