difficulty the other day. He was riding
a donkey, had his girl behind him and
set of double trees for jolt wagon before

BOMBS IN PRISON.
A Desperate Attempt Made by
Two Murderers
Confined in the Michigan State
Penitentiary,
TO BLOW UP PRISON.
Try to Light a Fuse to Dyna-
mite Bomb,
After SeiZing and Holding the
Guards.

JACKSON, Mich, May s.-An attempt
was made last evening to blow up the
prison with dynamite. AS the convicts
that were locked in the new west cell
block were marching to their cells from
an evening meeting, three of the convicts,
Edward Huntley, sent from Detroit for
20 years for burglary; John De Mann, sent
from Grand Rapids for fifteen years for
murder in the second degree and Arthur
Lawrence sent from Eaton county for
ten years for burglary, made break
from the ranks.
One of them seized the guard and an
other sprang up into window and at
tempted to light fuse connected
with dynamite bomb. The alarm was
given and Deputy Northrup and Captain
Stone arrived in time to quell this dis
turbance and the convicts were soon
locked in the cells.
The warden says there had been ru-
mors of dynamite in the prison for over
year but no trace of it could be found

THEY NEED WATCHING


Tom Reed Says Senate Tariff Committee
Had "Back Stairs" Influence.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Mr. Reed Of
Maine, authorizes the following concern
ing the tariff amendments made public
today;
"The presentation by the senate
finance committee of 81 pages of amend
ments, apparently more than 400 in mum
ber, is delicate compliment to Mr. VIII
son and the house of Representatives. 1t
virtually says that the house bill was
right except on four or five hundred
points and that the senate committee aft
er a months work finds 400 mistakes ia
its own bill.
"This will hardly tend to restore con
fidence in the country, especially as
every amendment smacks of either prior
ignorance, or present barter. 1t seems
impossible that a document SO con-
structed as to show traffic in every item
should be permitted to see daylight in
one batch. 1t would have been wiser TO
have let the matter come before the
country, item by item, rather than ag
gIomerate the dreadful total in one bunch.
'sEvidently it will be the duty Of tho
senate to Investigate these proposed
amendments; for when committee Of
finance refuses hearings because 10
knows intuitively all things, but fluids by
some kind of back-stairs influence thur it
has made four hundred mistake, it Is
evident the committee will bear watch

-FOUR TERRIBLE DAYS.

A Sallna Man Locked in a Freight Car
-Four Days without Food Water.
KANSAS CITY. Kans., May S.-WiIliam
A. Sweeney, of Salina, was taken from
box car in the Santa Fe yards this after
noon by crew of workmen. He was in
a pitiable state. To the workmen who
found him he told a story of suffering.
He had been employed for several
months past as a waiter in the Albany
hotel in Denver. Last week he became
i'll with malariai fever and was unable to
work. He was short of funds and de-
cided to try beating his way, to Salina,
Kans, where his parents lived. He got
into box car loaded with merchandise
and had everything we'll arranged for
the trip, when a trainman passing by
locked the end door through which he
entered and made him a prisoner.
He was suffering with fever, and in his
box car prison, without an ounce of food
or drop of water, he spent four days.
The car in which he was prisoner
was run in on the sidetrack in the yards
at Argentine, and the workmen who
came to unload it found Sweeney in
half conscious state. lying on the floor,
unable to call for help and almost una
BILE to tell how he came there.
His condition is very critical. His
long fast and exposure had enabled the
fever to make great progress, and he
was so enfeebled that even with the best
of treatment it will take him many days
to recover. He belongs to a good family
and has been west looking at the coun-
try. He sent word TO his parents ac-
quainting them with his condition.

NO WHISKY AT ALL.


Absolute Prohibition.
COLUMBIA, s. c., May s.-The dispen-
sary law now gives way to rigid prohibi-
ton The supreme court today declared
in announcing its decision in case from
Florence, asking for an injunction to re-
strain the city council from granting
licenses for selling liquor on the ground
that there is no law authorizing the
granting thereof.
In its decision, the court says that
under the law as it now stands, there is
no. authority vested with the power to
grant license for the sale of liquor in this
city, and hence the election of the city
council in granting such license is void
and the court therefore grants the injunc-
tiOn.
The court also refused a motion for the
discharge of man named Brunson, who
was arrested in Florence for selling
liquor without license.
The court says that the dispensary act
of 1892 having been declared unconsti-
tutional in all its provisions except that
fOrbidding the granting of license to sell
liquor after certain date, the repeating
clauses of that law must be regarded as
if never enacted, and hence the previous
law forbidding the sale of liquor without
a license remained in force.

BREIDENTHAL'S ACTION.


COmbats the Attempt to Force Gold Pay
meats From Western Banks.
Bank Commissioner Breidenthal has
issued the call for the second quarterly
statement of the condition of the banks
of the state
He has something to say about the
gold payment clause of contracts This
statement is made in the circular: 81 arm
informed that New York banks require
banks who borrow of them to sign notes
payable in gold. In this connection I
desire to call your attention to chapter
SO of the laws of Kansas of 1898, and re-
quest that hereafter all banks under con-
troll of this department refrain from
signing any note or other obligation pay
able in anything other than lawful
money of the United States"
The section of the law referred TO
reads: "That from and after the passage
of this act all obligations of debt, judg-
ments or executions stated in terms Of
dollars and to be paid in money, if not
dischargeable in United States legal ten
der notes, shall be payable in either the
standard silver or gold coins authorized
by the congress of the United States, all
stipulations in the contract to the con-
trary Notwithstanding"
Mr.. Breidenthal says that the
clause is to call the attention Of
the banks to the sentiment of the peo-
pie in Kansas, as he will not permit
banks under his jurisdiction to make
contracts which may jeopardize the in
terest of depositors. He thinks that tho
gold clause is being inserted on the the
ory that gold will go to a premium.

This letter stated the time had arrived

ARTZ rs UNDER A CLOUD.
His War Record is Called in Question
A Letter From Washington.

His War Record is Called in Question
A Letter From Washington.
1t seems that there is cloud on the
war record of ex-Adjutant General Artz.
He is a member of the Boys in Blue of
this city, an old soldier organization and
he frequently addresses gatherings OF
old soldiers. Frank Holz says: EsHe
claims to have served on Gen. Kilpat-
rick's staff with rank of maj0r, and
made inquiry at the war department and
l received letter."
The following is the letter received by
Mr.. Holz:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON CITY, May A, 1894
t'AIr. Frank Hoz, Topeka:
I'm reply to your letter of the Both
ultimo received yesterday. am directed
by the secretary of war to inform you
that no record has been found showing
that an officer named III. III. Artz served
on the staff of General Fitzpatrick.
#. G. AINswoRTH,
'sColonel q. S. Army Chief Record and
Pension Office"
Holz says that Artz claims to have en-
listed in the 34th Illinois, but that no
records have been found showing that
such man ever belonged to any Illinois
regiment.
Holz is the man who was responsible
for the investigation of the affairs of the
adjutant generals office which resulted
in the resignation of Artz. HoIz held
the position of ordnance sergeant and at
Artz's investigation he was discharged.
This blemish on Mr. Artz's war record
will scarcely affect his standing in the
army.
