Advance In the Price of rleat

ST. LOUIS. April Representatives
of the large pakcing houses at the stock
yards say the advance in the price of
dressed beef is legitimate and caused by
the advance in cattle. They claim they
have been working at disadvantage dur
ing the past six months, as the price OF
cattle has advanced more rapidly than
the meat.
The cattle commission merchants say
the high price of cattle is due to their
scarcity. Owing to the short crcp of corn,
native cattle have been eaned up closer
than for many years. Texas had good
corn crop, but the prices have been so low
during the two previous years that it has
not been profitable business to ranch
owners and they have turned their atten-
tion to raising other things, making the
supply short this year.

WAS ALL IN A LIFETIME
Downfall Of a Pretty Girl Who Was
Stagestruck
the Footllghts and Goes to the
Msgdaien Asylum

SAN FRANCISCO. April 12.-The artis-
tic dreams of Mary Jane McAleer, pref
ty girl of II years. have been rudely dis
PEELED. Instead of fulfilling her ambition
to shine as star before the footlights
Mary is down at the Magdalen asylum.
The story of Miss McAleer's career is
full of sentiment and romance. She had
a decided fondness for the drama and
early manifested desire to go upon the
stage. Miss McAleer made her debut in
a farce played some three years ago by an
amateur troupe. She did not consider
herself adapted to farcical roles and. like
most feminine aspirants for histrionic
honors, she decided to study the part of
Juliet. After some months of study she
announced that she would appear in that
character, but her plan was spoiled, as
among her limited ac uaintances there
was no one who would or could play Romeo
to her Juliet.
The young girl once appeared as a Yes
tai virgin in tableau. On that occasion
she met a young man named Smith. who
complimented her upon her excellent por-
travail of the character essayed by her.
He told her to place her future in his
hands. that he might aid her.
So Miss Mary disappeared several weeks
ago. Complaint was made by her aunt,
and the police found the girl living in
close proximity to Smith and dive actor.
She was promptly arrested but her prom
ise to do better in the future fell upon
stony ears. When the facts OF the case
were related to the police judge he decid-
ed that the Magdalen asylum was the best
place for her, as in it's quiet retreat she
could resume the study OF the drama,
which her acquaintance, Smith, had Tor a
brief period interrupted.

MILWAUKEE, pril 12.-There was a

the contest over the estate, OF eatiiarine
Rothe. ~
August 6Shkhkenberger claims to be
the husbai1df the deceased and the heir
to $40, ,006. Al brother in Germany claims
there was no marriage and that he is the
heir.
Schenckenberger claims he was married
to deceased in 1869, in Yorkvilie, Rae ne
county. He claims that his wife de-
stroyed the certificate of their marriage.
When the hearing first came up he pro-
duced another certificate of marriage,
made by Justice Morey of Racine, show
ing that they had been married on May
16. 1894.
Catherine Rothe died October 81, 1894.
The Justice today testified that he mar
ried the parties March: 5, 1895, but
dated the certificate back to May
16, 1894, at the request Of the parties.
He supposed the bride to be Catharine
Rothe, but she was dead at that time. Mr..
schenckenberger himself testified that
The woman who participated in the mar
riage ceremony was Mrs. Maggie Biron,
whose husband is still alive. The certif-
cate vf this marriage, which was first
produced in court, was destroyed a few

A GREAT WALL OF WATER
Floods Sweep Over a California Town Loss
of Life and Property

ANGELS CAMP. CAL, April 12-The
dam of the Utica Mining company, three
miles from town, broke yesterday. Fifty
feet of the north wing gave way. and the
volume of water it mad confined. rushing
towards the Mokelumne a roaring tor
rent, bore with it the body of one man
and the fragments of buildings that were
in the path of danger.
The man who is known to have per-
ished was Otto Lundt, who lived with his
sister on Antonio creek, below the reser-
voir. He was nearly 80 years old and un-
abe to move with agility. yet when he re.
allied the impending danger. instead OF
fleeing he returned to the house in quest
of 500 and some jewelry, representing the
wealth of himself and sister.
Lundt had scarcely entered the house
when the frail structure was picked up by
the on1u hing food, battered to shape.
less rubbish, carried along and scattered
for miles upon the shore of the fierce
stream. OF the unfortunate Lundt moth

mass OF water as it struck the Lundt
house appeared twenty feet high. 1t
lowered far above the roof of the struc-
ture before with terrific force, it envel-
oped and crushed it. The loss cannot be
estimated. IL was understood that the
construction of the dam cost about $40. :
000 but the claim of the company now is
that its loss will amount to about $40, 600.

OAKLAND'S WATER FRONT CASE
Attempts Are Being Made to Reopen the
Case

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-The
Southern Pacific company is making pre-
liminary attempts to reopen the Oakland
water front case, recently thrown out Of
the United States supreme court upon the
ground of lack of jurisdiction. The suit
was one brought by Attorney General
Hart i'll behalf of the state. The corpora
ton attorneys have made the first ad-
vances in the matter of reopening the is
sues which were presented by the attorney
general. They have been in consultation
with Attorney General Fitzgerald on the
subject. and he is calling in the attorneys
who have been representing the city of
Oakland 5 interest in the water front litiga-
ton. The purpose behind the proposition
of the railroad company to reopen the
case is not as yet apparent. The case of
itself as interpreted by the eminent coun-
sci for Oakland has no great hearing upon
the main issue involved-that is the
question whether the title to all the water
front property is rightfully invested in
the Water Front company or in the city
of Oakland. The issue in the supreme
court case merely covered the title to
seven separate parcels of water front land
held by the county and claimed by the
state.

PARNELL THE MAN-KILLER
Another Keeper of the Famous Brute
Feels His Teeth
Encounter Between q nan and Beast in q
Texas Town-The Lion Beaten Of
and Life Saved

LAREDO, Tex, April 12.-The lion
Parnell has once more tasted human
blood and another keeper lies at the point
of death.
This ferocious brute, kept at New La
redo pending his coming battle with a
Mexican bull, has grown more morose
and ugly since the grizzly bear got rather
the better Of him in a battle. At feeding
time the keeper approached the cage and
came too close while allowing his atten-
ton to be distracted for only moment.
1t was Parnell's opportunity. Quick as
flash he sprang forward, throwing his
whole weight against the bars and roar
ing horribly. One mighty paw shot out
grasping the man S right arm and draw.
ing him closer and closer until his body
was partly wedged between the steel bars.
Holding the man in this position the
lion tore and bit the flesh { rom the arm
and shoulder until it hung down in bleed
/ ing strips. The brute's great teeth sank
completely through the biceps, and as
the man who had screamed in his agony
at first, but who had now tainted was
about to fall, the lion made a second grab
with his paw, and the bones in the man s
arm could be heard to crunch as the beast
bit it.
The keepers cries and the lion's S roaring
drew great crowd to the building where
the beast is confined, and the other keep
eIS came also, and with hatchets, crow.
bars and iron rods beat Parnell about the
head and nose to make him loosen his
hold. He held on for several minutes
with ferocious tenacity, but the beating
was too severe at last, and the lion
skulked to the back part of his cage, still
roaring while the keeper dropped to the
floor unconscious, and was picked up and
carried to hotel, where he lies in pre-
carious conditin.

LITTLE WORD MF" FIGURES
A Peck of Trouble for the Latter Day
Saints
Revelation That Is Doubted by Several of the
Apostles-Trnth of the Story
Is Doubted

KANSAS CITY, Mo. April 12.-The
Just now ina peck OF trouble. 1t appears
that lengthy revelation purporting to be
from God. was received by Joseph Smith
a year ago, which made some important
disclosures and that the twelve, in a
body, have not yet Endorsed the revela-
ton. Some member of the twelve claims
to have received testimony of God as to
the truth of the revelation, but others
cannot see it that way.
The revelation in dispute says that the
supposed vacancy in the presidency was
HI. Smith, who was the third member of
that body. is not dead, as has been sup
posed by many of the council, but is in
sane and now confined in the Illinois
asylum, and has been so confined dur
ing the last twenty years. David Smith
is a brother of the present president and
a large number of the church ministry
regard the revelation of last year as an
indication on the part of Joseh Smith
that he aid not intend to receive any
revelations filling the vacancy until his
brother dies. The revelation says:
My servant Thomas W. Smith is in
my hands; and his bishopric shall be
continued for season; if he fully recov-
ers he Will enter again the work If l
take him to myself another win be ap-
pointed in his stead when the quorum
will be filed.
Many of the elders claim God in his
infinite knowledge would not use the
word ''if' in speaking of the results of
the illness and recovery of his apostle.
The same revelation chides the members
of the church for not placing full conf
dence in the president and his revelations
of the divine will.
The twelve not having approved this
revelation as of God is causing much
unrest. A number of the elders and min
istry are discou1aging prophet wor-
ship and one of the young elders boldly
announced that he was not worshiper
of the prophet but simply follower of
Christ and proclaiming his gospel.
A resolution was discussed providing
for the appointment of board of direct
at Lamont, Iowa. A number of the dele
gates wanted the college to be exclusively
Saints college and that no outsiders be
allowed on the board of directors. The
committee decided to open the college 60
all and place two outsiders ON the board
of directors. The question of a meeting
for the conference in 1896 brought up
more opposition. The vote was close
but Kirkland, Ohio, was chosen instead
of Lamont. Iowa.

Theories Regarding the Miscar-
riage Of Gresham's Note
THE RECALL OF THURSTON
One Idea Is That the Important Missive
Went Astray
No Official Notice Was Received by rHnister
Willis Of HoneIuiu for the Recall
of Thurston

NEW YORK, April I3.-A special to
the World from Washington says:
surprising theory has been suggested
by State Department official to account
for the failure of Minister Willis in Hon
olulu to receive the note of Secre-
tary Gresham requesting the re-
call of Mr.. Thurston. No charges were
made but it was very clearly shown that a
suspicion exists in the department that
the letter reached Honolulu but never got
any farther than the posteffice. 1t is
believed an investigation is being prose-
cuted along this line.
1t was intimated that after the fact be-
came known here that the letter had been
mailed, there was plenty of time for a
telegram to be sent to San Francisco to
the letter. 1t seems hardly probable that
anyone would dare to send any such tele-
gram. or be instrumental in any way in
having the letter demanding Minister
Thurston's recall delayed at the Honolulu
postotfice.
Two things seem to be certain-one
that the letter was mailed on March 9th,
in this city, in time to reach the steamer
sailing from San Francisco to Honolulu
on March 21st, and the other on Hawaii
an advices dated April 4th, quote
Minister Willis as saying that he
had received no information regard
ing Minister Thurston's demanded
recall except what he had read in the
newspapers brought out by the steamer
that sailed from San Francisco on March
DIST. The Hawaiian Government stated
that the only notice it has received re.
garding Minister Thurston was telegram
saying that he was on his way home.
Whoever delayed the letter desired to-
give Minister Thurston and the Hawaiian
government plenty of time to consider
the situation before making reply. 1t
would also enable Minister Thurston to
leave this country and arrive in Homo
lulu where he could consult with his gov
eminent before it had even been notified
that his recall had been demanded.
1t may be that the letter has simply
gone astray in the mails. Efforts are
being made to trace it. If the original
letter is not delivered in Honolulu, dup
licate instructions will be sent to Min
lister Willis demanding Minister Thurs
tons recall under such safeguards that
they will surely reach him..
