SPANKED HIS GROWN DAUGHTER.
She Ran on and Got Married. and Farmer
Heseman Decided TO Give Up Spanking.

NoRrHroRr, L. L., Aug. For some
infringement of the household rules the
other day. Farmer Joseph Hegeman of this
village, laid his 1s-year-old daughter Ro-
sina across his knee and spanked her
soundly. Then he sent her weeping to her
room. Rosina didn't like this method of
punishment, and she told her lover, Charles
Hesseman, who is employed in one of the
village bakeries. She escaped from the
house and she lost no time in getting to
New York.
On her return Papa Hegeman attempted
to repeat the spanking. Just as be was
about to begin operations, in popped young
Hesseman. He waved marriage certifi-
cate under the nose of the old man and
warned him to withhold his appraised hand
Farmer llegeman was amazed. The bride
slipped off his knee and slipped off his knee
and clung to her young husband. The
farmer decided that it would not be well
for him to repeat the spanking, and the
young couple departed.

RAY OF LIGHT.
Tariff Conferees Now Hopeful
of An Agreement.
No Change in Coal or Iron--Recipro'
cal Clause for Former.
Sugar, With Influence Of the Trust, 10 the
Stumbling Block.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The Democratic
members of the tariff conference commit.
tee were in session for three and half
hours, today. When they adjourned, this
afternoon, the stereotyped reply that moth
ing had been done was given to all in
Quirers.
1t is known that while number of tenta-
tive propositions were discussed regarding
the principal items in dispute, none
of them were adopted. But there
| appears to be prospect of future
success. In discussing the condition of af-
fairs, this afternoon, Mr. Jones, one of
the Senate conferees, stated that things are
now in such shape that it was possible for
the conferees to hope that they could reach
conclusion.
1t is known that coal and iron no longer
| trouble the committee so far as the Senate
is concerned. Coal will remain as it is
now, and if the House conferees want re-
ciprocal clause in the item they can have
it. There can be no compromise on the
iron schedule and this will be left at 40
cents a ton.
The latest proposition in regard to the
sugar schedule is one that changes the
phraseology of the schedule and removes
the alleged hidden protection to the trust,
! said to lurk in the present ad valorem rate
on the raw article, and limits their protec-
ton to the differential that is specifically
set forth.
Senator Murphy has gene to Saratoga to
