standing the many conflicting rumors
as to the probability of the Corbett-
Fitzslmmons mill being pulled off. prep
arations for the affair are being pushed
right along at Hot Springs. This fact
is causing some anxiety among those
who rely upon Governor Clarke to pre-
vent the fight. The railroads have a
big force Of men at work building side
tracks for the accommodation of spe-
cial trains, and the hotels at Hot
Springs are preparing for the influx of
the multitude. Wilmington Park is sit
uated at the end Of the valley and is
surrounded on three sides by a steep
mountain slope forming a natural sup
port for the seats. All that will be re-
qutred will be the placing Of the seats
on the mountain side in a stair-step

As Soon as She Is Able to Be Re-

The Girl Is Only 10 Years
of Age. From sweden.

Buffalo. Oct. 1S.-A special to the En-
press from Escanaba, Mich. says: The
story of a most inhuman act of a young
mother has Just come TO light at Ford
River. Three hours after the child of
Huda Sjonberg was born she took u
to the barn and threw 1t into the pen
with the hogs and waited to see It's
flesh torn from Its bones by the ami
mails. The town, as is natural. Is hor-
rlhed over the act. IL Is believed that
the mother could not have been In her
right mind when she did the awful
deed. II became known through her
confession to the physician who attend
ed her after the birth of the little boy.
and has Just been told to the sheriff
and county attorney.
Six months ago Hulda Sjonberg. a
girl 10 years Of age. came here from
Sweden and secured work as a domes-
tic in the family OF John Loutz at Ford
River. Her conduct recently has been
suspicious, and last night she went
out into the yard and wandered about
for a long time. Finally Mrs. Loutz
went out and found her in terrible dis
tress.
A doctor was at once summoned and
1t was found that the girl had but a
short time before given birth to a baby.
The doctor asked her what disposition
she made of the baby. and he was hor-
rlfled on being told that she had fed It
to the hogs in the yard and waited to
see that the infant was torn into shreds
and devoured by the hungry pigs In
her presence.
The woman says the father of the
child lives In Sweden and that she
came to this country to keep the story
OF her shame a secret from her parents.
She is now lying at the home Of John
Loutz In a critical condition.
A warrant has been sworn out for
her arrest, but will not be served until
she II well enough ITO be removed to
the county jail. Miss Sjonberg Is the
daughter of respectable parents at
Skoggebolt, Bellefors county. Sweden.
Lars Gustav Erickson. the author OF
her disgrace, promised 10 marry her In

He accompanied her TO the boat. then

woman to make her journey alone and
unprotected across the Atlantic,

Washington. Oct. 1S.-Captain Hoop

sHERMAN'S NEW BOOK.
He Crlticixes Garfield, Grant and Other
Statesmen Silver Also.


Statesmen Silver Also.
Chicago, Oct. 1s.-The intrigues. the
jealousies and the traitorous knife
thrusts Of the last half century of the
American statecraft are revealed in
the fierce light of stern criticism In
John Sherman's "Recollections of
Forty Years in House, Senate and Cab
ent." Just published In this city. The
fear that the venerable senator would
reveal secrets long kept from the
public In his forthcoming work has
been to an extent realized Grant,
Garfield. Blaine, Arthur. Harrison and
other republican leaders are spoken of
with unstinted praise for their high
personal worthy statesmanship, but
each is in guarded and covert Ian
guage, shown in the less commendable
light of scheming politicians. The crit
lcism Is almost invariably implied
rather than direct, but II stands out
clearly in the work as a whole.
The feature of the book is Its extreme
frankness. the style in which Sherman
has expressed himself, showing the
statesman rather than the professional
book-maker. The work Is marked by
clear-cut sentences and blunt express
sions of opinion. and but little attempt
at literary grace Is made. The book Is
evidently intended by the author as an
exposition of the financial policy OF the
republican party. which. TO a great ex-
tent. is his own. and about the extern
sive and elaborate history of American
finances Is woven anecdote and per-
sonal Renaissance replete with inter-
est to every student Of politics. Owing
to the close association of Sherman and
James A. Garfield, the criticism OF the
nomination OF the latter for president
of the United States Is perhaps one of
the most striking features OF the book.
The author, while carefully avoiding a
direct charge OF treachery on the part
OF the ex-president. very significantly
makes II plain that Garfield was nom
mated at a convention TO which he had
gone as a trusted leader of the Sher-
man forces. Something of the pollt-
ical scheming that again resulted In
the defeat OF the Ohio statesman at the
national convention of 1855 and brought
about the nomination OF ex-President
Harrison. can easily be read between
the lines in that part OF the work de-
voted TO this struggle. In discussing
the result Sherman says he became
satisfied that one delegate from New
York controlled the entire delegation
from that state and between Saturday
night. when the nomination seemed GER
tain to go TO Sherman, and Monday
morning. when the tide turned in favor
OF Harrison. a corrupt bargain was
made in the interests OF the latter
which secured him the support OF New
York and gave him the nomination.
Continuing. the author states in fair
ness TO the ex-pres!dent; But It Is to
the credit OF General Harrison TO say
that II the reputed bargain was made
Il was without his consent at the
time
sherman saws Grants administration
was a period OF scandal and SANDER
