SAWED IN TWO BY TRAMPS.
Awful Fate of q Lumberman and His
Wife in the Far Northwest.

From Naples, smallIumber siding on the
Great Northern road, about forty mnes east
of here, says Spokane (Wash.) correspon-
dent of the st. Louis Globe Democrat, comes
the story of deed which, for fendish cruelty
has but few equals in the annals of crime.
Jacob Herzner was the owner of small
sawmiIl at Naples, where he lived with his
wife and son. There is no other neighbor
within half mile of the mill. On Saturday
last the son John went to Bonner's Ferry.
and upon his return home in the evening he
was confronted with q sight that froze his
his bloc with horror. On the floor of the
mill he ound his mother in pool of blood
nearly dead, and a few feet distant, bou, d
to the carrisge used III conveying logs to the
circular saw, was his father, dead, having
been sawed it two. The son applied such re-
storatives as we're at hand and succeeded in
bringing his mother to consciousness, when
she painfully and with difficulty related to
him what had occurred.
About O'Clock in the afternoon she was
sitting in the house, which is but short
distance from the mill, alone when two
drunken tramps came to the door and de.
manded food, at the same time using very
offensive language. She become frightened
and succeeded in slamming and boiling The
| door before they could get in. TIE tramps
then went to the mill aud fit ding no one
there they returned to the house and demand
ed admittance, and upon being refused they
broke in the door. Finding their victim
alone, one of the men criminalIy assaulted
Mrs. Herzner. In her struggles Mrs. Herr
ner emitted piercing shrieks, which was heard
by her husband, who was in the timber q
short distance away. He FASTENED to the
house, az d arrived rs the second tramp was
in the act of committing an assault. Being
unarmed, he was sevagely attacked by tie
men, and after terrigle struggle. in which
the tramps we're badly bruised, Herzner was
kn cked senseless.
In order to sover up their crime they hi
upon the plan of putting Herzner on the loE
carriage and saving him in twain. While
they were engaged in their fiendish act Mrs
Herzaer staggered to the mill and imploret
them to spare her husband, but VAS answered
by terrible blow on the head with stick o

which rendered her unconscious to wha

A FABULOUS SCHEME.
In Which a Former Citizen Of Napoleon
Figures.
COL. SELLERS OUTDONE.

WABASH, IND, May 25.-When, last fall,
Prof. Charles z. KEeible, superintendent Of
the public schools at Butler, Ind, called up
on Prof. D. N. Howe, president of the North
Manchester college, atNorthManchesther this
co.and informed that gentleman that he was
port to the college and mysteriously remark
ed that under certain circumstances, the lit
tie institution OF learning might be trans
formed into one of the leading universities
Of the country, Prof. Howe was transixsd
with astonishment Naturally he became
iuquisitive, but his interrog gatories elicIted
no satisfactory response from Prof Kreible,
who promises that in due time he should
know all. And thus the pro 'essor was left
to wonder and to worry and his mysti6cation
was shared by the trustees of the college, to
whom, Kreible, on subsequent visits to North
Manchester, dropped sundry pregnant hints
Prof. Kreible, whose acknowledged ability
to work the miraculous change In North
Manchester college has set the whole town
agog, is a minister in the United Brethren
church. He was born in Ohio forty years
ago, spent his early life in the vicinity Of
Montpelier, o., and completed his education
at United Brethren school in Hartsville
Bartholomew county, Ind. He studied fol-
the ministry, was ordained but subsequently
became superintendent of the public schools
at Butler which position he has satisfactor,
filled for several years.
SPRINGS HIS FABULOUS STORY.
It was not until early in January that tn
great editorial scheme which Prof. Kreibl
had bees incubating was sprung upoa th
people of North Manchester. Then he calle
upon President Howe and leading member
of the church there, and stated to them tbs
he was authorized to proffer to the colleg
an endowment fund Of 81 ,000, 900. the gent
rous gift ofap old friend of his. millionaire
who felt a personal interest in all poo
worthy young men striving for an education

Takes Excep- ion.

VIM. Wachman takes exceptions to
the way correspondent handles the
scheutzenfest recently held at his
place. He says the correspondent
prevaricates in almost everything he
said, and wilfully lied when he re-
ported that the proprietor himself
was drunk. Mr.. w. says he tries to
conduct a respectable and lawful
place, but admits that on occasions
like schuetzenfests there are toughs
to take advantage and conduct them
selves in an unlawful manner, just as
there are upon all public occasions.

To Vote or
Not to Vote.

That is the question that is just now
agitating the minds of the female
members of society, as Betsy Bobbett
puts it, to the exclusion of the old
topics of spring styles, house furnish
ing, society events and the other
things that have hitherto engrossed
the fair sex. Not only the Ohio
women but the women of the great
commonwealth of New York, are just
now all in hutter over expected
) equal suffrage, and it is said that in
New York's "4OO," woman suffrage is
talked of to the exclusion of every
thing else. Clubs for the study of
politics and the science of government
have crowded out all other literary
movements and, be it said to the cred
it of the women, they are not going
into politics without being intelligent.
Iy informed as to what is expected of
them when it comes to casting ballots,
and that cannot be said Of the floating
male vote that holds the balance Of
power in so many of the large cities
But, as we started to say,sthe women
of the country are not unit when it
comes to voting. The fin de steele
woman is of course anxious to cast a
ballot. She is ready to yield her "pet
privileges to the larger prerogative
entailed by "rights" and she wants to
vote, Just as she wants to exerclIr all
the other rights that belong to the
sphere of progressive womankind.
But conservative woman, OF whom
there is legion in the land, is not
! lust sure that she cares, or wants, or
stands in suffering need of the right
of suffrage and so it will be some lit
tie time before equal suffrage is estab'
lished on the same sure footing with
equal tax paying.
But to change the subject the sea
son of the year is here when every
body should guard well his or her
health and manner OF living. The
system needs building up, whether i
be man or woman, girl or boy, old Of
young, and just the place to go to ge

Lawrence national band at North Manches-
ter, and, taking an officer into private room
asked Impressive1y, if he might be shown the
safe. The oficiai, who did not understand
the situation, wanted little more light be-
fore complying, aud was then told that they
were the agents'cf the millionaire donor to
the college, and as they expected to have
$2,0O0,000 IN money shortly, wished to ascer-
tain whether there was safe place to depos-
it it. Thereupon they were permitted to
examine the safe, which they pronounced
satisfactory.
During all this time Kreible continued to
tell fabulous tales Of the future of the college.
He was to have professor of music from
Zurich, Switzerland. a professor of art from
a leading Paris salon.. while all the promi-
nent men of the country we're to pour learn
ing in limitless quantities into the institu-
tion as lecturers.
In February public meeting was held at
the opera house to raise aid for the universi-
ty. 1t was largely attended and speeches
for and against the scheme were made Ap-
pesls were made to sell the necessary schol-
arships, and the citizens look hold of the
matter and disposed of the entire number.
Then Kreible returned to Butler, and here
the matter rests.
The trustees of the college, including a
dozen residents of other cities, are in doubt
as to whether any thing will ever come of the
affairs. President Howe is hopeful, but not
confident, but the disinterested people of the
town have long ago come to regard the mat
ter as huge hoax, and among them it is q
perennial joke.
KREIBLE STILL KEEPS Hrs SECRET.
Kreible persists ia his refusal to divulge
the name of the doner, but, as an evidence
of good faith, submits the copy of what he
says is the contract with the benevolent in.
dividual who endows the college. There il
no name attached. His wife and son attes
it is beinga true copy; they, it seems, are
in the secret. Kreible writes that he will
come down to North Manchester next weel
10 arrange for his removal there from Butler
He says the endowment will be available OF
July and the university will open Sept. l
Arnold Tompkins of Chicago has had littl,
correspondence with Kreible, but has dom
nothing looking to closing a contract, no
will he dc so.
From inquiries made by solid men at Nortl
Manchester it is learned that Kreible frs
claimed the 81 600, 900 was invested in Chica
go real estate, but later said it was in rail
road stocks and bonds. This does not tall,
with the story told by Financial Manage
Weaver at the bank that he intend y deposit
ing 100000 in cold cash. b
The whole story is mex, llcable. There il
certainly nothing in it for him. Yet her
are persons who know him who say that h,
has always born good reputation and WHIT
cannot think that he would float such stor.
without purpose. Within the next sixt.
days, however, something definite will b
learned and unless in that period Prof Krei
BILE shows his money he will have earned tn

in which the novices handle the play,
