in the Seek0nk.
He Was Insane and Wac Confined in
Butler Asylum.

Charles Tripp, 80 years OF age, who was
committed to the Butler Asylum for the
Insane April 4, ended his life yesterday

stopped moment and White walked q

heard noise and upon looking back saw
Tripp dashing through the underbrush

was unable to catch him. When Tripp
got to the river edge he did not hesitate
and plunged into the stream, which 10 ten

Perpetrated in Mineral
Spring Cemetery!
OVER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Torn From Graves and Scattered
About-No Clues.

Mineral Spring cemetery presented u
desecrated appearance yesterday morning
to the passers- by who were on their way
to Sunday services. All over the burial
place as far as the eye could reach were
overturned and demolished gravestones.
1t was evident that a gang OF vandals had
been at work and investigation revealed
that no iess than seventv-three small
monuments and stones had been torn
from their positions and some smashed
into dozen pieces. The indignation
expressed by all who saw the devastated
home OF the dead can better be imagined
than described and IL the guilty parties
could have been caught yesterday they
would have Jared badly at the
Hands OF tho Enraged Pubic.
During the day hundreds visited the
burial ground and gazed ON the ruin that
had been wrought while tho city was
wrapped In slumber. Twas not the work
Of one or two persons for some Of the
stones that were torn from their sockets
were of solid marble nearly two feet
square and were fastened to their founda-
tion by two bars Of iron over half inch
In thickness. The work was done be-
tween 1 and o'clock yesterday morning
for about the hour first mentioned a
gang of hoodlums started in on a
rampage. They began by ringing door
bells in the vicinity of Main and Harrison
o'clock they rang the door bell at DIR.
l.. III. Beaudry's house on Harrison street.
Then they. began to unhang gates and
throw them In front Of the electric cars on
Main street. Several accidents were
narrowly averted by the watchfulness of
the motormen.
It appears that 1t was aiterward that
they began the desecration of the grave
yard. They evidently entered the ceme.
terry through tho Mineral Spring avenue
gate and after pulling down few stones
on the central avenue went toward Co.
nant street continuing the work. Along
the avenue parallel with Conant street
stones are down all the way and on one
lot seven handsome marble slabs were
piled in heap. They moved along to-
ward the center OF the cemetery and here
and there all over the grounds may be
seen evidence Of their vandalism.
Nearly all Of the stones snow the
Imprints Of Bloody Hands,
so It appears that one or more of the
psrty cut their hands early In the game.
On some Of the stones the mark OF q
whole hand may be seen, on Others only
the fingers and on others drops of blood,
therefore somebody has a badly lacerated
hand. For downright "cussedness" this
work surpasses anything ever seen In the
city. A lady residing on Starr street,

Ihe headstones Of Thomas Davis and wife
are both down, and both hear the marks
OF the bloody fingers. An attempt was
made to pull down the headstono at the

THE NEW IDEA
DEPARTMENT STORE
Newness.


Newness.
The store is full of it, gath
cred from everywhere worth
while. 1t is hard to poiut
out the most interesting ar
rivals, far easier to count the
spots when such are lacking.
Dress Goods.
Counter after counter full;
sorts enough, styles enough
and grades enough to keep
you busy looking all day, and
'twould be time well spent,
but SO arranged that twill be
easy to make a selection, and
a satisfactory one, too. To-
morrow it's silks, and such
silks at such prices as can
only be found at a store like
this. Fancy Illuminated
silks, full line of colors, hand
some designs, at 39c per yd.
Changeable surah, all colors,
full widths, at 25c per yard.
Innings.
One of the busiest spots in
even this busy store, and it
ought to be with such a COM
plete stock at such little
prices. All kinds OF Innings
all good kinds are here as
everybody knows-or ought
to know. Fibre chamois, the
real fibre chamois at that; in all
weights and in colors, too.
Just the thing for. the proper
stiffening of those big sleeves.
Hair cloths, real and imitation
kinds, and at imitation prices.
If you cannot match any
shade or procure any desirable
kind of linings'at this depart
ment we want to know it.
Napkins.
Such value as is contained
in that 26-inch dinner nap
kin would be hard to find even
where the fax grows. Such
weight, quality and wear were
surely never before procura-
bic at $3.50 per dozen. There
are z handsome patterns to
choose from-that is z now
for the lot although such a
big syndicate purchase is rap
idly dwindling. There were
only 500 dozen and there's
no more to be had at any
where near that price.
Baby Carriages.
Made by the Wakefield
Rattan Co., that speaks for
their quality. Made to sell
at $1,000, worth it today at
that, but offered this week at
$6.eS-that speaks for their
cheapness. In all our Baby
Carriage buying and selling
this is the first time that we
could offer a first class $1,000
Carriage at such a price.
They'll not last long-be sure
Of that.

FLOUR RATES EAST.
Rail Tariffs May Go Up as Nav
imatiOn Closes.

igatiOn Closes.
A meeting of the executive officers OF
the Western lines is slated for Tues
day in Minneapolis, when the mat
ter of flour rates will be discussed.
Some time during the fist fortnight
in this month the rate of insurance on
freight shipped over the lakes increase;
thereby inducing traffic by rail to the
East. This date, whatever it is, will
practically mark the close of nav1ga-
ton, although Lake Superior is still
open, and if the same plan as last year
is followed out there may be an in
crease in rail rates to the East. This
is considered doubtful, however, by To-
cal fr5ight men, who say that the view
is expressed that the rate now in eff
feet from Chicago to New York, viz,
20 cents, is all that can be secured, ow-
ing to the low price of grain. AS this
rate is made the basis for the rate from
Minneapolis to Chicago it is improb-
able that the local figure, which is 10
cents on Eastern and 121s cents on local
business, will be changed.

SITUATION.
TRANS MISSOURI AGREEMENT
All the Lines Between Chicago
and the Pacific Settle Their
Differences.

CHICAGO. Nov. 30.-All prospects
between the 500 line and the Chi
cago-St Paul lines over the question
of east-bound steamship business
has been abandoned. The 500 line
today notified Chairman Caldwell
that it could not become party to
the proposed agreement of the other
lines, and now all that the Chicago
st. Paul roads can do is to meet what
ever rates the 500 may put into eff
feet A committee was appointed
this afternoon to take the matter in
hand, and in a few days they will
issue tariff meeting the 500 line
at all points.
The net earnings of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul were, for the
month of October, $1,907, ,912, an in
crease of $669,955 From Jan. 1 to
Oct. 81 the net earnings of the road
have increased $1,565,247 over the
same months of last year.
Consent to become a member of the
emigrant clearing house has been
practically obtained from the South
ern Pacific road. Before Assistant
Traffic Manager Hawley left the city
he said that his line would have no
objection to becoming a member OF
the clearing house provided his ROAD
was guaranteed satisfactory per-
centage of the business. A COM
mittee was appointed to present
report on what percentage they were
willing to allow the Southern Pa
cific, and should the report be salts
factory there is no doubt that the
Southern Pacific will become mem
ber of the clearing house.
ANS-MISSOURIL LINES.
The trans Missouri lines today
reached an agreement on their pas
senger traffic and all the lines be-
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast
have. for the time being at least,
settled all of their differences. The
trans Missouri lines have decided
that they will form a trans-Missouri
of the Western PaSSen-
ger associate and in all things will
be governed by the association agree
ment. This committee will be under
the direction of Chairman CALDWELL,
of the Western Passenger assocla-. 4
ton. who now has supervision over,
all of the passenger business between
Chicago and the Pacific coast. The
a agreement binding all of the roads
will go into effect tomorrow, and 1t
will be the first time in many years
that all the roads have been as unit
ed as at present in conservative
passenger agreement. Official notice
was promulgated today that the new
transcontinental agreement which
provides for the restoration ana
maintenance of all rates TO
the coast will go into effect
on Dec. 1. The new agreement
also provides for the abolition of all
commissions of all kinds to brok-
ers or sidewalk canvassers. 1t pro-
yides a fixed schedule for the pay
ment of commissions to regular
ticket agents of connecting lines, but
no presents or rewards are to be al
lowed. The California roads in par
ticular have long been very weary of
the demoralized' condition of the pas
senger tariffs, and the new agree
ment will be kept for some time at
least. A meeting will probably be
held next week to settle some details
of the Colorado and Utah business. -
