There is little doubt that the new

the loaning of money to poor people at
a reasonable rate of interest. Ii is well
known fact that the people who are
least able to pay any interest whatever
are invariably compelled pay the very
highest rates for the small loans they
secure by placing chattel mortgages
upon their personal property. In some
instances they part with from 100 to
200 per cent interest in order to procure
the money cruel necessity compels them
to have.
A fund of $50, 900 is needed to start
the bureau, and Banker Camp has al
ready expressed his willingness to con-
tribute generously. Rabbi Hecht, J. G..
]. Campbell and Howard Green of Mil
waukee have undertaken the task of
raising the fund, which will be loaned
ON the lines followed by similar loan
bureaus in New York and Boston. 1t is
proposed to make each subscriber to the
fund a member of the board of directors
and to pay him per cent interest on
all the money he advances.
The rate charged the first year will be
Q per cent a month, which seems rather
high at first thought, but is a rate much
less than the poor pay now. The second
year, it is hoped, the bureau will be
able to reduce the rate charged to / per
cent month or IL per cent a year, the
sum that is charged in New York and
Boston. The bureau viii be made self
sustaining, and will be run on strict
business principles.
IN 1886 Mr. Camp organized what is
known as the Charity Relief association
and donated sac, 900, part Of the income
from which has been used as gifts or
loans to deserving poor Of Milwaukee.
The money is disbursed by Agent Frell-
son Of the Associated Charities Of Mil
YANKEE and has done a great deal Of good.
Mr.. Camp located IN Milwaukee in
1852, and has since made reputation
as enc Of the abIest fnanciers in the
west. For II years he was president Of

TOLD IN A VISION
Mexican Judges Authority for
the Burning Of Ten HeresIcs.
AN OPEN AIR MAD HOUSE
Whole Population of Texaeapa Absorbed
by the Supcrstitious Frenzy
of the Hour.

New York. Nov. 3.--The World con-
tains additional details of the burning
of 10 heretics by the judge of the Next
can town of Texacapa, which is pub
lished today in a special dispatch from
Pachauca. The dispatch says:
As soon as the news reached Mol
lange. the principal town in the dis
trict, the municipal president and mi
nor officials, with an escort of over 80
men. armed with rifles, went to Tex
acapa, where they found everybody in
the public square executing grotesque
dances in honor of the Virgin of Quad
aloupe. around the ruins of the Jail, a
small building close to the parish
church.
In this Jail previous to Saturday had
been confined Nicolas Hernandez. Mar
tin Santiago, Jose Manuel, Casper Her
nandes. Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas, I'd.
Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria
Conception and an infant child. They
had been rudely hustled from their
homes at the dead of night on an ex-
traordinary charge preferred by the
auxiliary town judge that their lives
were an evil in the sight of God and
that they were enemies of the faith and
| heretics whom God had ordered
| through his holy saint, to be consumed
| by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this with
| the utmost sangfroid to the authorities
| He added that God wrought astonish
| ing miracles to confirm what the saint
| had told him in a vision.
Said the Judge: II obeyed the divine
| command and ordered out my consta
bles, and we took these sinners from
| their beds and dragged them in thu
| darkness of night. weeping and wall
| ing, to the Jail. When they were locked
securely in / ordered constables to Sc

Twenty-one arrests were made. al
| though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities.
The prisoners, securely bound aroun'
the arms and chained together, wer

whole population of Texacapa appear
to have gone mad. All believe the aux

born street at o'clock this morning.
She had been outraged and murdered.
Within an hour George Morgan, Ed
Sanford and Henry Booker. three young
men, were in custody charged with the
crime.
The murder and rape of little Ida
GaslSins, an 11-year-old child, was posi-
tively traced to George Morgan, a
teamster. He lives near where the body
was found and was the last man seen
with her. His clothes were covered
with blood when arrested. So great was
the feeling against the prisoner that he
was hurriedly removed to the peniten-
tiary. Afterwards a committee appoint
ed by those favoring lynching went
through the jail to satisfy the people
that the murderer was not there. To-
night crowd of several hundred peo-
pie surrounded the Jail. They were
orderly and drawn more by curiosity
than any disposition to do violence.
Early in the morning a crowd was
about the doors of the morgue. The
body was taken to the ground floor and
then admission was granted to all.
From that early hour until little after
noon, the morgue was thronged. A
steady line of people poured in, each
person stopping to gaze moment with
yelling eyes upon that innocent face

people had looked upon the dead body

He Makes Statement Regarding the
Course OF the Great Northern.
Woodstock. Ill. Nov. s.-Eugene v.
Debs made the following statement to-
day with reference to the threatened
strike on the Great Northern railway
system:
THE policy of the Great Northern
company in relation to its employees is
locally dishonest and disreputable. For
several months a scheme has been in
operation to disrupt the American Rail-
way Union, Notwithstanding the SOL
emn pledge of Hill that no employee
should be interfered with on account of
his connection with the organization.
The strike of April. 1894. resulted in an
agreement between the company and
the union, which was effected May /.
under the auspices of board of arbi-
tration composed wholly of merchants
and manufacturers, and of which
Charles A. Pillsbury was chairman. A
tremendous reduction, ranging from 10
to 40 per cent, had been made by the
company, and those were restored by
the board. From that day to this the
company has not held to its promises.
Competent and trustworthy men have
been discharged again and again for no
other reason than that they belonged to
| the union.
Whether the employees strike or not
| will be determined by themselves. I am
| unable to foretell their decision. Dirct-
| ors Kelliher and Goodwin. in conjunc-
| ton with the board of mediation are on
| the ground, and I have faith in their
| judgment, and will approve their
course, whatever that may be. Accord
ing to my advices, the Great Northern
| company has already begun the hiring
of thugs and ex-convicts at various
| points.

s SERIOUS FOR THE wAALeas

Looks rs IL the Entire Fleet Would BE
fit Caught in the Ice.
San Francisco. Nov. 3.-The schooner
Rosario has arrived from the Arctic
ocean, bringing 5000 pounds Of bone, the
residue of a catch of nve whales. She
is the first of the whaling feet to reach
port from the north, and 1t is within the
limits of possibility that she may be the
last. When she left the ocean ice was
forming very fast, and it was heavier
than it has been for many years.
The Rosario brings confirmation of
the news of very poor catch in the
Arctic seas. From the report of the
Rosario it looks as If the entire fleet
Would be caught in the ice. This is
considered by whaling men to be very
serious state of affairs.
The steam whalers are amply provid-
ed with stores with which to spend an
other winter in the ice. but sailing YES
sells are under much less favorable con-
ditions.
The majority of the barks are pro-
visioned with only enough stores to
last them through the summer, and II
they are compelled to spend the winter
in the north starvation stares the whal-
ers in the face.

FIELD WITHOUT BALL FOR MURDER

Henry Capps' Saying of w. A. GnweiIcr
Was q Peculiar Crime.
Boise, Nov. 4.-Henry i. Caps was
today held without bail for the murder
Of w. A. Onweiler. The tragedy occurr-
ed about 10 days ago near Meridian, and
from the story told at the time it was
generally supposed there was a meas
ure OF self-defense in the act of Caps.
Testimony brought out at the prelim-
mary hearing has, however, indicated
that the killing may have been an un-
provoked murder.
1t appears that Caps beat his victim
down with a shovel while the latter
was opening a gate. Capps claimed
that Onweiler drew a revolver on him
and it was claimed that he picked the
weapon up from the ground after On
weller fell and handed 1t to neighbor
who came up. The testimony shows that
there is great doubt about this, one
man swearing positively that Caps
reached into the mans pocket and took
the gun out after he had killed him.
1t was an almost useless pistol and only
one chamber was loaded. Prominent
attorneys have been retained on each
side and the case promises to be one of
| the most bitterly contested murder
| trials ever witnessed here.
