Deed of Tramp.


A dastardly attempt to murder ].
S. Allyn, agent of the United States
Express Company, was made at Red
Wing, MINI.
He went up into the hayloft to feed
the horses, and met a tramp, who,
with a sharp Ratchet cut deep gashes
in his head. Then the tramp buried
him deep in the hay, evidently believ.
ing his victim dead. The blood run
ming through a crevice in the ceiling
led to the discovery. Mr.. Allyn was
dug out Of the hay where he had lain
unconscious for three hours. One cut
on the top of the head was seven
inches long. The wounded man when
resuscitated gave a vague description
of the assailant.
Much excitement prevailed, as Mr..
Allyn is well known, being one OF the
early settlers. Should the tramp be
caught threats are made that he will
be severely dealt with. Mr.. Allyn
may recover.

Married Her Hero.

New York Dispatch: A carriage
ratified up to the door of Justice
Macs office OH Jersey City heights at
a late hour Thursday and a young
couple alighted. The man was tall
and athletic looking, the woman a
brunette and very pretty. Their
mission, they stated, was to get
married. After the ceremony the
bride handed the justice $50. The
groom gave his name as George
Joseph Hermann, aged 80, of Long
Island, and the bride said she was
Antoinette Beck, of Lyons, France.
MI. Hermann said he was formerly
an officer in the German army and
met Miss Beck while the regiment
was quartcred near her fathers house
during the Franco russian war. He
had saved her life one day when her
horse ran away, but her father,
Guillamune Beck, a rich silk mer-
chant, forbade any acquaintance be-
tween them. After the war Her
mann resigned and came to this
country. Two months ago Beck died
and a week later his wife followed
him. Antoinette was left alone with
a fortune of 100000 francs. She came
to this country, secured board and
sent for Hermann, who has been
working on a farm on Long Island.

Hicks Gives . Dlscouraglng Forecast or

Hicks says the indications are that
May will open with cool, fair weather
in most parts, with frcsts in northern
directions. 1t will grow warmer
about the 3rd, cooler a few days after,
and another warm wave about the
It'll. This heat will bring many
storms from the 9Th to the 10th.
then to the 18th there will be a
tendencyto frost, but the frost period
will close about the 10th.
A marked storm period falls due
from the 18th to the 22nd during
which time a very warm wave will
pass over the country and
dangerous storms are liable to result.
Cloud formations and other storms
indications should be .prudently
watched during the warm period.
The last of May is regular storm
period which runs into the opening
days of June. The effects of the
Venus equinox will have a tendency
to bring hard hail storms and prob
able frost after the storms. The
electrical powers of the sun arc very
great in May and hence the storm
periods. Forces which expend them
selves in April showers are liable
to gather into storms of much more
violence in May.

DIR. William Sheppard, a veterinary
surgeon of S%heepshead Bay, per.
formed a feat in surgery of which
only a few similar cases are on record.
Some time ago a common work horse
owned by Fred Graes, the local
butcher, showed unmistakahe signs
Of Righteousness, which later became
so marked that he was well-nigh
unmanageable. The trouble seemed
to be in the right eye, over which a
film had grown, making the member
useless. Graes called in DR.. Shep-
pard, who washed the eye with a
lotion, which soon removed the film
On examining the eye DR.. Sheppard
was astonished to see a lively little
object wriggling about contentedly
inside the pupil. He Immediately
knew this to be the cause Of all the
trouble, it being a case known among
veterinary surgeons, but rarely seen,
and which almost Invariably results
in the death of the afflicted animal.
DR.. Sheppard madea an incision in the
corner Of the eye, next to the nose,
and inserted a small silver hook.
After many attempts the hook
caught the snake in the middle and
he was pulled out into the hand of a
waiting assistant. He was fully 81
inches long and was not wider around
than a horse hair. DIR. Sheppard will
send the reptile to a medical
university at Glasgow, Scotland.
He is certain that the horse will
survive, although he may lose the
sight of his right eye.

the husband became the manager of
Snow, Church s. Co.'S commercial
agency. A fortnight ago Mr.. Harris
was attacked by an illness which at
once assumed aserious phase. Physi-
clans determined that the only hope
Of saving his life was by a recourse to
the operation of laparotomy. His
young wife was made acquainted with
the desperate nature of the operation.
"Do the best you can for him" she
said, ssfor If he dies I shall die, too,
for I believe were our positions trans
posed, he would do the same for me-"
Despite the efforts of his physicians,
Harris died. His wife was nearly
crazed with grief. Friends and rela-
tives tried to comfort her, but all
their efforts were futile. While the
servant went into the kitchen and
the othersin the house werein anoth-
er room, they were startled to hear a
pistol shot. They ran to the room in.
which they had left Mrs. Harris.
Blood was flowing from q wound in
her breast. Before they could have
reached any doctor, Mrs. Harris was

Two More rau.

f. Two more Hedges-Garretson enter
prses in Sioux City have gone to the
wall and the end is notyet. Although
men familiar with the affairs of the
two millionaire operators tried to
shut their eyes to the actual nature
and extent of the collapse, they are
now ready to admit that they see no
redemption for any institution pro-
jected and fathered by the capitalists,
unless it be their railroad ventures.
The two assignments we're made by
the Sioux City Dry Goods company
and the Sioux City Dressed Beef and
Canning company. The dry goods
company was capitalized at $780, 900
and occupied six floors in one of the
Boston Investment company's big
buildings. The assignment was made
to w. +. Thomas for the benefit of
the creditors in general. The liabil-
tiles are placed at 1922, 900 and the as
sets at 1911, l79. The heaviest item
of liability is twenty-five notes due
the defunct loan and trust company,
the face value being $4,000. In the
assets are figured 100000 of unpaid
subscriptions to the company's cap
ital stock, and $780, 900 to the Union
Loan and Trust company. Beyond
the trust company's claim the in
debtedncss is largely due to real es-
tate jobbers and manufacturers in
small amounts.
About 5 o'clock the dressed beef
and canning company made a general
assignment to Henry j. Taylor, with
out preferences as to creditors, with
liabilities of$2l5,671 and assets placed
at S27, ZIG, exclusive of real estate, not
valued. This concern was formerly
the beef-killing end of the Haakin-
son-Plag plant. The concern is CAPT
talized for 81, 900 600. This, too, is
tangled up in the London Union Loan
and Trust company, the schedule OF
liabilities showing Indebtedness to
that concern of $l69, 1874. The next
heavy liability is to the London and
Sioux City Colony and Investment
company for $4l,375.

j. Ellen Will be There.

1t leaks out that a surprise is in
store for the representatives of the
English Woman's Christian Temper
ance union that are to assemble in
London in annual convention a few
weeks hence. Hitherto this organiza-
tion has been f%raternally affiliated to
the corresponding association in this
country, and of which Miss Willard
is president, and the latter has been
for several months in England
assisting Lady Henry Somerset in her
temperance crusade.
The non-partisan Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union of this
country, however, has taken it into
its head that it is as much entitled to
recognition by the English temper
ance women as Miss Wizards
organization, and although strenuous
efforts have been made to keep the
fact secret it leaked out today that
a delegation of the non-partisan
women, headed by the redoutable j.
Ellen Foster, will be in London on
the opening day of the convention
equipped and prepared for a red hot
fight il need be to secure recognition
from the British element as the n
simon pure combination of tenn
perance women on this side of the
water that is entitled to the fraternal
recognition of their Trans Atlantic
sisters. j Ellen Foster has always
been a thorn in the side of the mild
tempered angelic sister Willard, and
il the pair of them have an
opportunity of occupying the same
fun that will be decidedly edifying to
the English sisterhood.

The Carolina Tax Cases.

The South Carolina tax cases were
passed upon by the supreme court of
the United States last week, the
opinion being delivered by Chief
Justice Fuller. 1t came up on
petition of Sheriff Tyler of Aiken
county for a writ of habeas corpus to
release him from imprisonment under
a judgment of the circuit court of the
United States that he be fined $500
for contempt. He had seized a train
On the South Carolina railroad upon
a warrant issued by the state
authorities for collection of the taxes
which are in controversy. The road
was in the hands of a receiver
appointed by a United States court
and he was adjudged guilty of con-
tempt for failing to release the
property under order of that court.
He came to the supreme court for
relief.
Justice Fuller read an opinion con-
tanning much stronger language than
is usually found in such documents,
denying the application Of the petit
tioner for the writ. He said the
seizure of the property by force was
uniustif1able, and could not he
defended. The claims of a state for
taxes are not superior to the genef6a-
rule which makes property placed in
the hands of a receiver subject to the
order of the court; they are to be
obtained in the regular way and
proper manner. The action OF the
circuit court, Chief Justice Fuller
said, was in no sense an action against
the stateIof South Carolina, which,
it was concluded, could not be MAIN
tanned under the eleventh amend
ment to the constitution.
In conclusion he said the circuit
court was equipped with the fullest
power to protect its dignity and
enforce its mandates, and it's use Of
these powers in the case. in point
could not be reviewed here. There
fore, the petition for the writ Of
habeas corpus was denied.
The same judgment was announced
in the cases of Sherman, Riser and
Gaines, who come to the supreme,
court of the United States with Tyler
for relief.

THOUSANDS OF FOWLS.
Big Im%portations for %Colonlxing the Col
umbian I.agoons.

umbian LagoOns.
Chicago Herald: One of the wag-
ons with wide tires that haul things
into the worlds fair grounds, pulled
in yesterday with a load of geese.
There were about twenty large crates
of them, and as the wagon rolled over
the dusty roadways long necks were
poked out between the lattices of the
crates. The geese were hauled to the
wooded island, near Theodore Roose-
velt's Davy Crockett camp. There
they were pulled out of the wagon
and taken from the boxes. All of the
new corners waddled to the lagoon
and.soon were dipping their slender
nccks into the water.
This vas the first arrival of water
fowl for the fair. During the exposi-
tion thousands of them will paddle
the lagoons, adding to the romantic
and picturesque features of the water
ways. A New York man, who makes
a business of furnishing water fowl to
parks and rich people who have ponds
about their premises, has been COM
missioned to stock the lagoon in Jack
son park. Hewill soon send ON a large
collection of wading and swimming
birds. The geese that came in yes
terday were not imported. They
were brought down from the Four
tenth ward. In a few days nearly a
thousand ducks from the same section
will be turned out on the lagoons.
All the other fowl that are to paddle
ABBOTT the lagoons and stir up the
muddy bottoms will be shipped in
from New Nork.
The buyer there has been given a
commission to make extensive pur-
chase. He will send on a lott of brown
pelicans, snowy egrets, a number of
storks, tlamingoes, swan and scarlet
ibis. The bird catcher has had a
busy winter oft, and the result of his
expeditions to the sea coast and lake.
side will soon be seen at Jackson park.
All of the birds are crippled SO that
their escape from the park is not pos
sible. One of the large bones of each
wing has been cut. This opera.
alton does not interfere with their
swimming over the lagoons, but keeps
them prisoners in the park. Later in
the season an effort will be made to
tempt thegulls that hover along Lake
Michigan, where sewers empty their
contents into the lake, to come to
Jackson park and make their nests
along the lagoons. A young man who
catches birds says he can COAX the
gulls away from the sewer openings,
and he will be given a chance to do it.
These fowls are not the only ones
that will build their nests at the
worlds fair. Away up on the gilded
dome OF administration building,
where workmen are just beginning to
tear down the scaffold on which they
have been working, a dove cote is to
be fixed for the thousand or more
pigeons that will be turned loose in
the park. The cote will be put there
soon, and a flock of pigeons brought
to 1t to get them accustomed to the
surroundings.
