MYSTERIOUS DROWNING.
Bodies of Roth Chambers Girls Drowned
at Bartlett, Ia, Recovered.

Bodies Of Roth Chambers Girls Drowned
at Bartlett, Ia, Recovered.
OREGON, Mo-, May %. The bodies
of both the Chambers girls drowned in
the Missouri river at Bartlett, Ia,, some
10 days ago, have been found, the body
of Charlotte, aged II, was caught by
Dan Ellishire, a fisherman, i'll his net,
aud the body of the 1O-year-old girl
was caught about 30 miles south of
here. Those girls were half sisters,
both daughters of G. NJ. Chambers,
living near Bartlett, Ia, and the young
est was daughter of Mrs. Wolfenburg
Of this city, who formerly was G. M.
Chambers wife. The girls We're very
mysteriously drowned, but their friends
think it was a case of suicide on the
part Of the older girl, and that she
drew the younger in with her pur.
posely. Charlotte's clothing was found
securely pinned together near her
knees and the sleeves of her dress were
securely pinned to her shoulders, indi-
eating either that she had thus secured
them herself to avoid involuntary es-
Gaping death when she should make
the fatal leap into the water, or else
that foul play was had with her, and
her clothes were SO pinned by some one
to deceive others and to conceal their
slime.

WHEAT FLYING HIGH
Another Jump Of Over Three
Cents Occurs on Chicago
Change.
CROP DAMAGE THE CAUSE
July Closes Strong at the High.
est Price for Several
Years.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Wheat jumped
gave promise of holding the greater
part of it's advance. Liverpool cables
were soaring, outside domestic markets
were up and the country was flooding
the pit with buying orders. The main
cause of the advance, however, was
the continuation Of crop damage re-
ports. They came into the pit in
stream from all parts Of the wheat belt
and ranged from stories Of slight dam
age to narrowing tales of complete de-
struction. The July option opened
with a cent lunge, starting at 743s.
1t dropped slightly for an instant, but
Immediately plunged upwards again,
touching 753s. The astonished specu-
lators rested for time, aghast at the
sight of 75-cent wheat, and during a
temporary lull in the excitement prices
dropped back to trifle below the high
figures. Another wave OF buying
orders soon struck the market, however,
and July went sailing again, landing
at 1924, just 8 cents above the opening
price and almost cents higher than 1t
had gone before during the present
advance.
The market held its strength to the
finish, winding up wildly at ia for
July. The close left that option at 35S
cents advance over the previous night S
closing figure. The buying continued
to be heavy up to the end of the session
and offerings were quickly absorbed.

WlLDE'S SECOND TRIAL.
Begun in Old Bailey Before Many Inter

Begun in Old Bailey Before Many Inter
ested Spectators.
LONDON, May 23. The second trial
of Oscar Wilde was begun in the Old
Bailey court before Justice Willis.
There was big crowd of interested
spectators present. Wilde was very
restless and looked careworn. The
solicitor general, Sir Frank Lockwood,
in opening the case for the treasury,
said that the Indictment covered acts
of gross indecency during the period
extending from February to October,
1898. He then recited the charges
made against Wilde in connection with
Edward Shelley, Alfred Wood and
others.
The Marquis of Queensberry was
present at the trial of Oscar Wilde.
During the morning session Wilde was
taken i'll and was obliged to leave the
court.

KNOCKS OUT REVENUE TAXES.

Income Tax Decision Said to Have That
Eject.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 23.-The
startling announcement is made by
Colonel Noble Smithson, Knoxville
attorney who has had much practice
before the United States supreme court,
that the decision of the court on the
income tax has also killed the internal
revenue laws. In carefully prepared
opinion, Colonel Smithson says:
Justice Fuller in his opinion says:
The constitution divides federal taxa
ton into two classes-First, direct
taxes; second, imposts and excises, and
that direct taxes must be apportioned
among the several states in proportion
to their representation in the house Of
representatives
apparently the logical result of this
opinion is that all federal taxes, except
duties of import (that is to say taxes
collected under the tariff laws) must be
apportioned among the states
According to Their Representation
in the house of representatives. The
act of Aug. ~, 1894, (the Wilson bill
section 4S, provides There shall be
levied and collected OH all distilled
spirits, ETC., tax OF 81. 10 Oh each proof
gallon
The statutes of the United States
levy a tax Of cents per pound ON
tobacco, etc. 1t seems clear that accord
ing to this opinion of Chief Justice
Fuller these are direct taxes Oh personal
property, and not being proportioned
among the several states according to
representation, they are unconstitu-
tional and void. If this view be cor
rect, the supreme court has not only
wiped out the income tax, but has
practically repealed the internal rev.
enue laws, as it affects tobacco, whis-
Ky, brandy, etc

UNDER INFLUENCE.
Dying Woman Hypnotized and
the Story of. a Murder
Brought Out.
ALL THE DETAILS RECALLED
Night Of the Murder Lived
Over Again and Scenes
Described.

ANDERSON, Ind, May 23.-Mrs.
Maggie Bolton, the prosecuting witness
in the Foust murder mystery, upon
whose testimony George Hires was SEN
fenced for l3 years Tor the murder of
William Foust on July 8 last, but who,
later, made a confession i'll which she
stated that she had done the deed, was
hypnotized by DR.. j. B. Callen. tho
loted hypnotist, who wished to have a
trial on the case. He represented that
he was attending her, she being at pres
ent at the hospital on her death bed
from consumption. He got her under
control, and in the presence of Judge
Ellison and the court tstenographer, who
took down her words, she lived again
The Night Of the Murder,
seeing what she had seen OH that night.
She acted it out as though no one was
in the room, even starting back and
covering her face when she heard the
imaginary revolver report. 1t was a
wonderful scene Incidentally she
told the story of what she saw and
what she was then living over for the
second time. The test was the greatest
Callen has ever made. She said Hires
killed the man, and gave description
as it was acted over for the second
time. Regarding her confession while
under this influence, she said that she
cad been frightened into It by Hires
coming to her cell and telling her that
the authorities suspe cted her son and
were going to put him under arrest.
She said she realized that her days
were numbered, and she told the story
that was later sworn to by her. She
was at last put to bed and brought out
Of her cataleptic state.
Strange Case From the Beginning.
She did not know what she had done,
and still holds to her confession, not
knowing that she had denied it. She
is so weak that she can not talk very
loud or fast, but when under the hyp-
motto influence she seemed inspired
with strength and force. She talked
fast in her description. This may have
something to do with the motion for q
new trial for Hires, based on Mrs.
Bottoms confession. which is now
under consideration by Judge Eli
son, who was present. The clew
to the murder after it had laid
eight months was furnished by an Ell
wood medium, who described it while
under influence. 1t led to the house
being located where the deed was COM
mitted and later the locating of Mrs.
Bolton, who had moved away. Upon
her evidence the arrests were made, and
Hires, the first Of the six to come to
trial, was sentenced to l3 years i'm
prisonment. The court will rule this
week

faithful public servant for many
years in his home. county, and he is
making reliable man for the inter-
ests of the state in the larger field to
which, he has been called.
N. P. Cores was born in 1860 in Da-
kota county, from whence he comes
as representative. His education
was received in the public schools and
at st. Johns college. He has been a
farmer in years past, and is now a
merchant at New Trier. The high
estimation in which he is held by his
home people is evidenced in the fact
that they made him mayor of the
town five years in succession. He
has been postmaster for ten years.
In the legislature. he is a regular at
tendant, quiet and unobtrusive, but
observant and careful, prepared to
vote intelligently on all matters.
LIE Sueur county's Democratic rep
resentative, A. B. French, is a native
Of Michigan, and is still on the sunny
side of the half-century mark. For
more than score of years he has
been honored with local offices of one
kind or another, and has always dis
charged his official duties most salts
factorily. Personally he is a pleasant
gentleman, and, like most of the
country members, he refrains from
active participation in debates; but
just the same he keeps closely in
touch with legislative work and is al
ways in his seat.
Taken altogether, Democracy need
not be in the least ashamed of the lit
tie handful of men who uphold her
colors in the Minnesota legislature.
