Religious Fanaticism Seizes Ignorant
People in Indiana.
MANY HAVE GONE INSANE
The People Are Up in Arms over the
Strange Craze and Threaten to
Extinguish 1T.

GREEScAsTLE, Ind March 10. - A
strange religious fanatacism has taken
possession of the ignorant people in the
southern part of Putnam county and
great excitement is occasioned thereby.
John and Charlie Scott, of Harrods burg,
Ind, and a Miss Huffman, of Illinois,
are conducting a series of meetings
which are producing wonderful and ter
rible results. They operate by prayer
and the laying on of hands, their vic
Tins are said to go into frances and
stay tina: way for long spell, until it
is rot uncommon to see eight or ten
laid out on seats for hours at time.
Yesterday a commission of justices of
the peace was held on one case which
is very pitiable and is the direct result
of this strange miracle working. Mar
Gus Leucus, prosperous farmer, has
gone violently insane, the direct result
of this religious craze. Six men are re-
quired to keep him in bed and he won't
wear any clothes. He followed a star
Friday night all night in the hope of
catching the same, and only gave up
the chase in daylight when it disap-
peared. His favorite theme is the
Bible, and he constantly states she
never had so much fun with Jesus
Christ in all his life" The poor fellow
was taken to the Indianapolis insane
hospital.
The neighbors are up in arms over
the strange craze, and threaten to wipe
it from the face of the earth. Some
talk shotgun and others advise white
capism. Just how the trouble will enc
is in doubt, but trouble is feared. The
evangelists" are said to secure large
sums of money during the frances o.
their victims, and sell their pictures fol
% cents each. One victim under The
excitement has thrown away hi,
crutches, and claims his lifelong rheu
matism is cured; others who have beer
blind claim to see, and the craze i
spreading rapidly.

The line broke and the crowd rushed
against and around Mrs. Riley like
ocean surf against a reef, She could
not fall, could not escape from the
human swine.
Her body was bent and twisted
around the pillar and crushed against
the unyielding iron. Every joint was
wrenched, every muscle strained; her
bones crushed. The woman struggled
an instant, shrieked, then tainted. But
she did not fall. The iron pillar held
her fast while her flesh was lacerated.
Po.icemen's clubs and the fists of the
clerks beat back the crowd. When the
more forward had receded Mrs. Riley
fell, breathing but senssless. A police
ambulance carried her home. She can
not go again to the county agents office
for bread.

Spared His Life, Took Him Back, Quar-
relied and Was Shot Dead.
ToccoA, Ca, March l2.-R. A. Naves,
a prominent citizen of this county, lies
at the point of death, and the man he
charges with running his daughter fred
the shots that may result fatally.
About six months ago Naves discovered
that his daughter had been deceived by
Albert Bailey. Bailey had skipped
out. Naves determined to find him, If
he was on the face of the earth, and
started on his search. He went TO
Tennessee and Kentuckey, following
Bailey; then to Chicago, where he
searched for several weeks in vain. On
his way back home he went to Alabama
where he finally found Bailey. Bailey
swore that he was not guilty, and Naves
saved his life on condition that he would
go back to Toccoa and either marry the
girl or stand trial for seduction. He
bound the young mans hands and
brought him back. He has been out on
bond awaiting trial. The two men met
here and quarreled. Naves, who was
unarmed, struck Bailey, knocking him
down, and then attacked the latter with
bricks. Bailey drew pistol and fred
four times in rapid succession. The
first shot struck Naves in the abdomen.
The last struck his jaw, breaking the
bone and knocking out two teeth,
There was great Indignation and con-
siderable talk of lynching the shooter,
but the officers hurried him to a place
of safety.

ENCOURAGING FoR SILVER.

The appointment by Germany of Com
mission to Invrstigaue.
WASHINGTON, March 10 Senator ALI
son regards the appointment by Ger
many of a commission to investigate
the silver question as an incident of
great significance, particularly because
the commission, with the exception of
one or two at the most, is composed of
bimetallists. The creation of a com
mission, the senator SAYS, is due to the
rapid decline in silver. He looks to see
the example of Germany followed by
other governments of Europe This
action of Germ any" said tie senator,
Ought to give the greatest encourage
ment TO friends of silver in the United
States, who believe in solution of the
problem by international agreement

Chapter in the Report of the Michigan
Commissioners of Labor.
LANSING, Mich, March l3.-The forth
coming report of the Michigan labor
commissioner will contain an interest
ing chapter on iron mines and miners.
AT present $lsO,OOo,OOO is invested in
the mines and in the equipment of docks,
railways and boat lines necessary to the
conduct of the business. Whel to this
is added the fact that of the entire cost
of the finished forms of iron and steel
nearly So per cent represents labor, the
Importance of the industry can be real
lied. Up to and including the year 1898
the three Michigan fields shipped 49,
936, 1927 gross tons. Contributing to this
the Marquette range has a credit for
40,971 600 tons, the Menominee Is, O32,-
3l1 tons and the Gogebic 14,933,516
tons. Including the Like Superior re-
gion, which embraces the mines of
Minnesota, the grand total tonnage is
so, 390,352. A table is given showing

KILLED BY THUGS.
A Fourth Infantry Private Dragged, As
saulted and Robbed.

saulted and Robbed.
CeUR D'ALENE, Idaho, March 9.-Har-
ry G. Bremen, Company G, Fourth In
f1ntry, soldier of 90 years service
and one of the most harmless and inof-
fensive men of the command, was drug
ged, assaulted and robbed in this city
Wednesday night by some party or par
ties unknown. He was found at eleven
O'Clock by the city marshal lying near
the paint shop of Rosen Bros, on Sher-
man street, and was at once taken to
the post hospital, where every effort
was made to save his life, but without
the next morning. He never regained
consciousness after being taken to the
hospital.
AS a soldier was held up by two men
about an hour previous to the finding of
Bremen and robbed of a small sum of
money, it is supposed by many that the
same parties were implicated in his
death. The fact that two strangers
have been seen here within the past
two days suggests the idea that they
might have been the guilty parties.
Color is lent to this supposition, as they
cannot now be found, and to the fact
that it is the first case of such nature
that has occurred here Soldiers car
rying large sums of money have been
in the habit of going TO the post at all
hours of the night ard have never be-
fore been molested. Bremen was bur
ried today at p. N. The Odd Fellows
had charge of the funeral arrangements.
The military also attended and rendered
the honors due to soldier.
The postmortem examination showed
that death resulted from opium poison
ing; also that an assault had been made,
as the nose had been crushed as though
by sand bag.
Two soldiers are in the guardhouse
under strong suspicion. They were ar
rested at 10 o'clock last night. There
is strong feeling against them, but the
discipline is perfect. There is no dan
ger.

THEIR CLAIMS SHOULD BE PAID.
Governor Mcconnell of Idaho Asks for
Justice for Settlers.

Governor Mcconnell of Idaho Asks for
Justice for Settlers.
Boise, Idaho, March 12.-Governor
Mcconnell has made an earnest appeal
to all the senators of the western states
to do all in their power TO push Senator
Whites of California bill providing for
the payment TO claimants for Indian
depredations; through congress. He
points out the great injustice of Repre-
sentative Blacks bill TO repeal the en-
tire act of March, 1891, and makes an
eloquent appeal on behalf of the west
ern pioneers who have for many years
waited for settlement of their claims.
The immediate cause of this urgent
letter is the case of ID. H. Fogers, now
in San Francisco, but at one time a
pioneer of Idaho. In 1886, when band
of Piute Indians had surrounded thirty
five whites under the leadership of
Captain Jennings, seventy miles from
Silver City, rogers fitted out three
companies of volunteers, providing
them with horses, arms and provisions.
One company was commanded by Gov
ernor Mcconnell They finally rescued
the beleaguered party, and the expense
was borne by Mr.. Fogers. He has not
yet been paid and the matter has been
hanging fire all these wears.
rogers was owner Of the first mining
mill ever built in Idaho, located at Sill
yer City, and is now in strained circum-
stances in San Francisco. He is only
one of many claimants who have been
kept out of their just dues by the cir
cumlocution of the office at Washing
ton. The claimants for Indian depre.
dations of the Mex Perez and Bannock
wars have not vet been paid. Gov
ernor Mcconnell is interesting himself
in their behalf.

during the last Ten years AS follows:

The great falling off in shipments
from Michigan mines for the year 1898
as compared to 1892 and previous years
is noticeable. In 1892 Michigan pro-
duced 46 30 per cent of the ore mined
in the United States. The commissioner
shows that November /, 1893 but 3,673
men were employed in the Marquette,
Menominee and Gogebic ranges, as
against 17,279 the corresponding date
in 1892, and he says that the causes
which led to suspension of operations
was an inability to secure money to
carry on the business AID a lacT of a
market at living prices.

Concerning the school Fund.

Hon. w. w. Thayer, at recent meet
ing of the Multnomah county school
board, submitted his opinion regarding
the right of the county treasurer to pay
state taxes out of the moneys in his
hands realized from the first tax collec-
tions, which will be applicable to the
action of our own ncounty treasurer. The
opinion indicates that the county treas
urer cannot infringe upon any of the
special funds specified by law. After
reviewing all the sections of the statutes
referring to the collection of taxes and
and the duties of the county treasurer
regarding special funds, the school
fund in particular, Judge Thayer con-
cludes by saying that said fund must be
kept by the county treasurer intact,
subject only to apportionment by the
county superintendent, as provided by
subdivision 5, section $500, Hill's code.
