Mr.. Starkweather 1t was stated that
Beckers had jumped his bail twice and
that each time the bond was forfeited
but was found uncollectable. As
a matter of fact there was no forfeiture.
Mr.. Stsrkweather explains that Beckers'
failure to appear for trial the first time
was because the notice to him from his
attorney of the date of the trial was
delayed. He appeared later but the
case had been continued. No notice at
all was sent him the next time and he
supposed the case against him was dis
missed. As to the validity OF the bond i,

to find out where it had been purchased
but none of the druggists in the city
had sold any sulphuric acid yesterday
or recently. 1t is suspected that it was
obtained for Rochefort by a friend.
This suspicion is based on the circum-
stance that less than a week ago the
suspected purchaser visited an asssyer's
Office and made inquiry concerning the
effect Of various strong acids upon the
human skin.
For months Rochefort has threatened
his victim with vitriol and it is possible
that he has had it in his possession ever
since this plan of revenge occurred to
him.
He was seen at the jail last night.
He was greatly excited but whether
drunk or insane was sufficiently
cautious to refuse to talk about his
crime.

The War Against Unlicensed Dogs
Is Renewed.
An important meeting of the city
council was held last night. The ap-
pointment of city engineer was again
postponed on account of the absence Of
Messrs. Goldberg and Lewis. The con-
tracts with the city sprinkler and the
city scavenger were signed and the bond
of the city recorder was approved. An
ordinance licensing dogs was passed.
1t differs from previous legislation by
the introduction of clause requiring
dogs to be muzzled within certain pc
riods. The contract with the Blinn
Lumber company for supplying the city
with lumber, was reconsidered, for the
reason that the bid of H. W. Ryder &
Co. was afterward discovered to be sim
liar. The recorder was directed to
make another proposal for bids. The
meeting adjourned until two O'Clock
this afternoon.

Senator HuntOn Claims
to Have Been Tempted
A Mysterious Person Of
fers $4,000
For the Vlrginian's Influence
Against the Tariff Bill.
The Untouched Senator Declines to
Furnish Information Which May
Damage His Tempter.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Hun
ton talked freely today about an at
tempt made to bribe him to vote
against the tariff bill. The matter
first came to his attention about a
month ago through letter from his
son dated at Warrenton, Va, the home
of the senator and his son. He i'm
mediately laid the matter before six or
eight OF his most intimate friends in
the senate that they might know what
was going on.
The senator says that he never saw
the man who offered the bribe and de-
clined to give the mans name but said
all negotiations. if the proceedings may
be called such, were conducted through
his son. The would be- briber, the
senator said, went to Warrenton early
in April carrying letter of introd uc-
ton from a man in Washington whom
Mr.. Hunton did not know any better
than the man he introduced. He pro-
fessed to want to employ MIR. Hunton
as attorney in land case in which he
was interested.
After talking a short time on this
topic, he brought up the tariff bill, to
which he was opposed. He said that
the bill never would pass. and that
there was an argument to be brought
against the bill which had not vet been
used, but which would dispose of it ef-
| fectually. Asked by Mr.. Hunton's son
what the argument was, he said he
would give it to him if he would send it
to his father. He then proposed to
pay Senator Hunton $75, 1000 for his op-
position to the tariff bill, and Mr.. Hun
ton Immediately informed his father OF
the proposition.
The person to whom the description
of the alleged wouid-be colruptionist
best applies is Major j. A. -Bultz, OF
Bultzville, North Dakota. He was once
mem ber OF congress from South Caro-
lima, and now follows the occupation of
farming. He has spent considerable
time in Washington OF late in lobbying.
| His principal efforts have been to re-
open q contest over Che town site at

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The house to-

Mr.. Springer gave notice that early
next week he will call up bill to remit

circulation. Then the house went into
a committee of the whole on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. At 5 o'clock

LIGHT OR HEAVY WHEELS.
Cyclists This Summer Have Decided That
What They Want Is Good Roads,


Tho light wheel problem, which this
year more than ever is absorbing the
attention Of cyclists, Is pretty difficult
one to solve satisfactorily. Everybody
wants to ride light wheel, but every
body does not want to ride one that will
not stand the pounding of n rutty road
or an occasional tumble. Wood rims are
being extensively ridden. but they are
not rs strong rs metal rims and never
can be. A great many wheels that weigh
from IS to 81 pounds are being ridden
over all kinds of roads this season in
Brooklyn and ont Oh Long Island, and
q large percentage Of them are coming
to grief. The rider of one has to be as
careful Of his mount as if it were del
icate race horse. Universal use Of fcath-
erweight wheels will scarcely come until
the roads are far better than they aver
age today. England has had the light
wheel craze and has got pretty we'll over
it. American wheelmen like the light
machine and don't want to give it up.
Hence they are crying for good roads
and accomplishing much in that direc-
ton. 1t is maintained By many good
riders that over an ordinary road 80
pound wheel is easier and faster than a
20 FOUNDER because it is steadier and
does not lose way in bounding over n
hummock or rut. There are many who
predict either better roads, or q return
to heavier wheels next year, or else

CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

From now until after the election THE
HERALD will make special club rate OF
25c. The object Of this low rate is that
every voter may have an opportunity to
become better posted as to the campaign
and candidates, and also that we may
make the acquaintance of many new
readers. Every Democratic subscriber,
every Democratic committeeman especi-
ally, should make an effort to place this,
the only Democratic paper in the county,
in the hands OF every Democratic or
doubtful voter in his neghborhood. Get
up club, or send 25c for each name and
send the paper to as many OF your neigh
bors as you can, and thus help the Dem
ocratic party in its fight for the right.

and lC-year-old girl. Last Thursday

He was to begin work early yester-

he told his children that the first one
awake was to call him. A little after
midnight his son Jimmie, who was
restless, went to his fathers room.
Reilly was still awake, and when his
son left him he said:
Don't forget to call me, my boy
Two hours later Reilly was found
lying in his nightshirt OH the roof of a
stable 40 feet below the roof of the ten
