SIOUX CITY, Jan. 9.-The Fidelity
Loan and Trust Company of Sioux City
defaulted payment Of $4,000 in the in
terest on deferred bonds due the first of

them, and was thus forced to default
the interest OH the bonds, bringing on
the financial difficulties. The firm did
no banking business and none of the
local banking houses or industries will
be involved. The failure of the Lincoln

Suffers From Alteration OF
the Mind.

Tuesday forenoon handsome, we'll
dressed woman, about thirty i've years
of age, arrived at the Merchants hotel
aid asked to be assigned a room. She
explained to the clerk who registered
her that she expected her husband to
join her at the hotel in the course of
few days. She gave her name as Mrs.
A }. Lockery, and said that she came
from Minneapolis. There was nothing
unusual in her appearance, except her
arist0eratle bearing and rich attire She
was assigned to room 127 On the third
floor.
Along towards evening Mrs. Lockery
attracted the attention % the hotel
functionares by sending down numer-
Gus orders for numerous things. When
the housekeeper went to see her she
found Mrs. L0ckery in nervous and
hyStercal condition. She was walking
to and fro in her room, muttering to
herself, and apparently in a distracted
condition. Later Mrs. Lockery grew
calmer, and said she would retire for
the night. But shortly before midnight
she was seen wandering through the
hall IN her night clothes and talking to
herself in excited tones. The house
keeper was again sent for, and again
she succeeded in partially quoting the
unfortunate maniac.
Yesterday Mrs. Lockery seemed
worse, especially along towards night.
She insisted on ordering all sorts of
things, and it finally become impossible
| to allay her excitement Accordingly
| the police were notified, and at 9 o'clock
| last night Mrs. Lockery was taken to
| the county Jail in a closed carriage.
| She was accompanied by Sergeant Jerry
Sullivan and the housekeeper. 1t was
represented to her that she was going for
a little drive. Tie idea seemed to

when Mrs. Lockery was taken in to the

1t was learned during the day by the
hotel proprietors that Mrs Lockery's

HOW. ABOUT TARIFF =?
Supplementary Bills Will Again
Be Brought Up.

Do brought u U.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Demo-
cratic leaders of the senate are very
much at sea over amendments to the
tariff. which they had hoped to accom-
plish by means of riders on the uogent
deficiency bill. They have very gener-
ally come to the conclusion that the Re-
publicans have decided not to be pur-
shaded into allowing these amendments
to go through. and they know now, as
they knew in the beginning, thatit would
he futile to attempt to pass them in the
face Of any determined opposition.
They have not, however, given up
the idea OF making an effort to do some
thing and trying to find a means of
moving, even though the result may be
nothing more than a demonstration that
the Republicans are to blame for the
failure to secure the desired conces-
sions. They therefore have abandoned
the Idea of amending the tariff by ridss
ers Oh appropriation bills. and are
now considering the advisability of in
Producing independent measures. If
the plan is adopted, it will be necessary
that the independent bills shall first
pass the house, because of the consti-
tulional requirement That all revenue
measures shall originate in that house.
IL is understood that Chairman Wilson
will be asked TO introduce four or five
corrective tariff bills, unless the Re-
puolicans relent. These bills will re-
peal the clause of the sugar duty impos-
ing all additional duty of Ito on sugar
coming from countries paying bounty.
repeal the free alcohol. and modify the
income tax provisions in regard to i'll

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The special

trade with Germany has made his re.
port to Secretary Morton. He shows
very conclusively, as result of careful
inquiry Oh the part Of cOnSigneeS,
butchers, aud even some of the veteri>
narianS themselves, that both the
dressed beef and the cattle receive d
from this country were of exceptionally
good quality. In regard to the dressed
beef, he states that the first two lots
received were in Door condition.
owing to failure to maintain the low
temperature in the storage rooms
throughout the voyage. The condition
of all the subsequent shipments has
been thoroughly satisfactory. The only
criticism offered was from some of the
retail butchers, who said that some of it
was almost too fat 10 give perfect salts
faction. The wholesale butchers would.
he says, rather do their own killing
than 10 have beef come over dressed.
The report intimateS that the grounds

ify the agraran party. Inspections
made show that American beef is SUI
perior to the DANISH or German product.
