PIatteville News.
VIM. Rundell was accidently shot
in the calf of the leg, Sunday morn
ing under the most peculiar circum-
stances, by a 22-calibre cartridge fired
from rifle in the hands of Ed Huber,
boy of IL. Mr.. Rundell was on his
way to church. and when passing the
home of Huber he was shot as stated
above. The boys statement is to the
effect that he was shooting at a rat
in his fathers cellar; that his back
was toward the sidewalk on which Mr..
Rundell was passing, forty feet north
of him; that he shot toward the south
and the ball must have struck rock,
causing it to rebound, pass the point
from which it was fired, through a
fence board and lodged where it did.

MARCH REAL ESTATE.
Bad Weather a Potent Factor
Condition the Same Everywhere.

Bad Weather a Potent Factor
Condition the Same Everywhere.
The real estate market tor March was
generally dull, says the Real Estate
Register. the sales in a majority of cities
being considerably lower than during
the corresponding month of last year.
The big cities of New York, Chicago,
Brooklyn and st. Louis all show de-
cr9aSeS, varying from S to 46 per cent.
The depression is greatly due to the
tendency of capitalists to avoid invest
ments until some definite course in
financial legislation has been outlined
by the national administration, and still
another cause is the decline of building
operations, which is due to the fear OF
big strikes in the building trades and to
the cost of building material. which is at
present from 20 to 81 per cent higher
than it was at the opening of last years
building season. In Chicago the de-
crease of SO per cent is due partly to the
causes specified above and partly to the
inclination of investors to postpone pur-
chaseS until after the worlds fair, when
they expect decline in prices. Chicago
dealers, however, generally insist that
prices will not 90 down after the fair,
vicinity of the exposition grounds.
st. Paul shows decrease of 6S per
cent, the greatest in the list. There are
several good excuses for this decline,
and the depression is really not so bad
as the face of the figures show. In
March, 1892, there were three extraOr-
dinarily big deals recorded, which
swelled the total amount OF transfers
for the month about 100000. During
the March just passed there were no big
sales recorded, and the months total is
consequently low. Activity in st. Paul
generally begins in March, but this year
the severity OF the weather has post
poned the opening Of the realty ana
building season from thirty to sixty
days. The winter has been the coolest
and longest experienced for six years.
In the Northwest Duluth and Mil
waukee are the only cities showing in
creases, while Chicago, st. Paul. Seattle,
Tacoma, Omaha, Minneapolis and Sioux
Fails all fall below last years mark.
The increase of 81 per cent at Duluth is
remarkable because it was gained iii the
face of adverse conditions. The ) per
cent gain at Milwaukee Is another mark
of that city'S wonderful stability.
In the South six citieS-Norfolk,
Memphis, Dallas, San Antonio, Louis
vile and Nashvlle-Show decreases,
while only three-GalvestOn, Atlanta
and New OrieanS-ShOw increases.
On the Pacific Coast the market seems
to be about the same as last year, San
Francisco showing a decrease of l per
cent and Los Angeles an increase of
per cent.

GERMAN MELODRAMA.
1t Is Well Rendered at the Met
rOpolitan in a Benefit to
herman Schneider.
Miss Elsa Roemer Achieves O Tri-
umph as Marianne, a Woman
of the People.

Marianne, Woman of the People,"
was chosen for presentation at the
Metropolitan last evening as benefit
for Herman Schneider. 1t should have
been chosen as Il benefit play for Miss
Elsa Roemer. She practically carries
the entire play, and though young
Schneider played we'll and made as
much as was possible out OF the part. he
should have chosen play that would
have given him more scope for his
excellent talents. For instance. if it
would have been possible to reproduce
''Shuldig," in which he appeared with
the Milwaukee people duriDg their last
engagement in this city, it would have
given many an opportunity to see him
at his best who had seen him before, as
we'll as satisfy the desires of those who
did not see him then. His conception of
the part was good and its characterize
ton splendid, but the lines do not fit
him. A good house greeted him, and
he was presented with an elegant floral
tribute at the close Of the third act.
The presentation was veritabe tri-
umph for Miss Roemer, and she made a
marked hit as heroine in melodrama.
Her acting was absolutely taultless, and
the audience told her SO in the many re-
calls she received at the close of every
act and even during its progress. In the
middle of the third act, at the door Of
the founding hospital, when she passes
her child through the window, the au-
dience interrupted with eloquent APP
plause the artistic work of the actress.
May she be as fortunate in the selection
of play when she is rendered a benefit.
The play is the regular run of melo-
drama, but is exceptionally strong in its
morals and has peculiar force for the
feminine portion of the audience. 1t
was presented i'll English several years
ago at the old Grand opera house. on
Wabasha street, under the title of
woman Against Woman" by Miss
Effie Ellsler. and it can be truly said
that the presentation last evening did
not suffer by comparison. The leading
character of Marianne was as well
taken and. it might be said, somewhat
more artistically, Schober as the villain
was really funny, and it is plain to be
seen that villainy is not part OF his
ability as an actor, though he cannot be
eXcelled in comedy.
Next Sunday evening benefit will
be rendered 10 Miss Martha Neumann,
at least it is SO stated. and the play will
probably be "Das BlitZmaedel," or in
other words, "The Maid of Lightning"

The horse Slackened its pace when it
struck steep rise i'll the road, and Mr.
Desmond caught up and hit the bear on
the back with his seat. The bear backed
from the dashboard with grOwl OF rage,
and as he did so his feet broke through

to pull them up its hind feet went
through. and the bear was helpless.
Mr.. Desmond kept pounding the bear
with the seat, and the horse drew the
pung up the hill so fast that the bears
dragging paws soon left streaks of blood
in the snow. Mr.. Desmond was so eX-
cited that he didn't think of stopping
the horse. The bear beloved and
struggled in vain. the horse kept i'll a
canter, and Mr.. Desmond mauled the
bear with the seat till he broke it.
By that time the horse had reached
the top of the hill. and Mr.. Desmond
was all out of breath. James Seward
had just turned into log road with
team of oxen some distance ahead, and
he ran out, caught the horse by the bit
and turned it so suddenly that the pung

field for White Birch creek, leaving
bloody tracks in the snow.
The dogs brought the bear to bay

took charge of his horse, and Mr.. Seward
got heavy clevis from his bobsled and
