TO PROMOTE STOCK RAISING.

Movement on Foot to Organize the Indus,

MINNEAPOLIS, July 23.-The Mime
apolis board OF trade is taking practical
steps in the direction of improving the
live stock business in Minnesota. At
the last meeting P. V. Collins, chair
man OF the live steck committee, ad-
dressed the board, showing the neces.
slty for the organization of the stock
ralsers OF the state and the cooperation
of the boards of trade and chambers Of
commerce looking to legislation which
will promote the industry of stock rails
ing in the Northwest. It is proposed
to perfect In organization of stock rails
ers to build up line of defenses
around their various interests. One of
the objects to be sought will be con-
servative legal protection from the in
roads of the Big -Four and the other
outsiders who have so long played
havoc with the stock interests. At
least, that is the idea entertained by
Mr. Collins. For the purpose of get
ting down to business an address will
be issued for convention of the actual
stock growers, at which expressions of
opinion will be taken and systematic
effort made to give the Northwestern
stock grower the best, instead of the
worst of it. in the business of growing
live stock. Especial attention will be
gwen to the question of sheep raisino

DISASTER AT SEA.

One Hundred and Forty-eight Lives Lost
by the Sinking of the Maria p.
GENOA, July 23.-The Italian steam
ers Ortigia and Maria P collided off
Isela del Pint at the entrance of the
Gulf of Genoa. The latter sank and
148 people were drowned.
The Maria P was bound from Naples
to La Plata. There was a crew of II
and the passengers numbered 173. She
was entering the Gulf of Genoa at 80
O'Clock in the morning, when she met
the Ortigia, outbound. They only
noticed each other when collision
was inevitable. The bow of the Or
tigia crashed into the starboard side of
the Maria P, penetrating six yards and
ripping up the Maria P like matchwood
The water rushed in through the hole
and the Maria P sank in three minutes.
The majority of the passengers were
asleep at the time Of, the accident and
had no time to escape after the alarm
was given.

HORR AND HARVEY,
U1important Contention About Some
Words Of Senator Morrill,.

Untmportant Contention About Some
Words Of Senator Morrill,.
CHICAGO, July 23.-The Horr- Harvey
debate on silver was resumed at the
Illinois club rooms at l p. m. There
was fair attendance.
Mr.. Horr opened the dispute with a
written argument touching the impos-
sibility Of maintaining a fixed ratio be-
tween gold and silver. As the result Of
experience all of the civilized nations
Of the globe had discarded silver as a
standard money. It was useless to e1-
ploit long tables of ratios to show
whether double standard could be
maintained. The world had pro-
nounced against silver.
Mr.. Harvey said he had been called
on by letters and kilograms to give
statements by Blaine, Ingalls, and 9TH
ers concerning the demonetization act.
He said that the words at his disposal
in the debate would not admit of it.
Taking up Mr.. Horr's eulogy of Sem
ator Morrill,, delivered on Saturday, he
charged that Senator Morrill, erred in
saying that no silver dollars had been
coined for 40 years prior to 1878. Mr..
Harvey read from the report of the di-
rector OF the mint, showing that silver
dollars in greater or less amounts
had been coined nearly every year. The
fact was that Mr.. Morrill, was bank
stockholder, with bank stockbolder S
prejudices. He called on Mr.. Horr to
explain. Mr.. Horr said that Mr.. Nor
ril had not meant to say that not a
dollar had been coined, but that none
to speak of had been. AS most it could
be said that Mr.. Morrill, had made a
mistake. Mr.. Harvey in his book had
made a mistake, and a bad one in stat
ing the amount of silver which had
been coined during the life Of the gov
arnment

ST. PAUL, July 23-The disappear-
ance of Sergeant Zirklebach was to a
certain extent cleared up when his
clothes were discovered in a boat on
the shore line of White Bear lake.
The only mystery is how or why the
sergeant came to be at White Bear.
Sergeant Zirklebach left his home.
3l6 Yankee street, on Friday morning.
He then told his wife he was going to
the police court. He did not go to the
police court, but was seen at the Union
depot about 10 o'clock
When Zirklebach did not return in
the afternoon or evening his wife spoke
to her relatives They seemingly did
not share Mrs. Zirklebach's fears, and
the Central police station was not for
mally notified. When the roll call was
made at the station that night tho
sergeant did not respond, and he was
registered as sick. It was not until
Sunday morning active inquiries began
to be made regarding the man.

HANCMAN'S MOOSE
Chicago Police Think They
Have Made Another Im-
pOrtant Find
in THE HOLMES CASE
Piece of Stained Rope Some
Think Was Used to Exc
cute His Victims.

CHICAGO, July 23.-The search for
the bodies Of the missing Williams
girls was resumed at the "castle'' of
H. H. Holmes, the suspected murderer,
and in noosed rope, stained dark about
the knot, the police think they have
made an important discovery. The
rope, which was found hidden beneath
a quantity of rubbish, is of consider
able length and strong. At one end is
plated loop and the other running,
or ''hangman's noose." About the knot
and on the rope near the moose were
found several dark spots, which
the police Immediately concluded were
bloodstains.
The length of the rope is such that,
were the plated loop attached to the
wall upstairs of Holiness secret dumb
waited shaft, body hanging from the
moose would just clear the floor at the
bottom of the shaft. This coincidence
convinced some of the detectives that
Holmes alleged victims had been
pushed through the upstairs door to
the dumb waiter and strangled to
death in the shaft below. Others of
the officers, however, refused to accept
the theory and the rope was submitted
to an analysis to determine the nature
of the stains.
During the day a second wall in the
basement. about 10 feet from the west
foundation and extending parallel with
1t for about 30 feet, was found by de-.
tectives. There are two doors leading
into the apartment thus created and
each one was securely locked. The
rubbish was plentiful in this place and
an effort was made to discover the use
of the chamber.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MISSING.
More Crimes Laid at the Door of Arch
Fiend Holmes.

More Crimes Laid at the Door of Arch
Fieud Holmes.
CHICAGO, July PA local paper
says: To the long list of murders and
other crimes directly traceable to the
arch tiend, H. H. Holmes, must now
be added the mysterious disappearance
OF Mrs. l. l.. Conner and her 12-year-
old daughter, with a reasonable GER
tainty that they may have been dis
posed OF in the same manner in which
the rest Of his victims met their death.
Mrs. Conner and her child were last
seen IN the company of Holmes in this
city i'll 1898. Since then all trace of
them has been lost, and the shrewdest
detectives, who, at the instigation of
the woman's family, have been work
ing on the case, are now of the opin-
ion that the finding Of their bodies is
the only possible solution of the mys-
terry.
Was an Iowa Woman.
Mrs. Conner came originally from
Davenport, a., where she was married
to l. J.. Conner, a jeweler, nearly Is
years ago. To them child was born,
and in 1889 Conner and his wife and
girl, then or 8 years old, came to Chi
cago. Holmes at that time was Just be-
ginning to frame the swindles for
which he later became notorious, and
had started drug and jewelry store in
Englewood. Conner went to work for
Holmes and moved his family into
flat over the store. It was not long
after this that Conner became aware
that the relations between his wife
and Holmes were not of a nature con-
sistent with the laws Of society and he
soon left her. Before long Mrs. Con-
ner and the child disappeared and no
trace of them has since been found.

CAUGHT IN MEXICO
Defaulting Treasurer Rowe of
t.. PoWeshiek County, Ia;
Under Arrest.
MAY YET ESCAPE EXTRADITION
Although in the Country but a
Few Months, He Is Now
a Citizen.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Chester w. Rowe,
the defaulting cashier of Poweshiek
county, Ia, is under arrest in the City
OF Mexico, and large part of the $780, :
600 which he made away with has
been attached by Pinkerton operatives
and will likely be returned to the coun-
ty froq which it was taken. Richard
Rowe, brother of the absconder, is also
under arrest as an accomplice. Rowe
disappeared April 20, and since that
time the most thorough search has
failed to locate him. Several times
the officers thought they had a clue,
but investigation has proved them of
no value. Rowe and his brother at
the time Of the arrest were conducting
saloon in the City of Mexico, and,
it is said, were making money fast.
Has Become a Mexican.
1t is somewhat doubtful whether
either of the brothers can be taken
back to Iowa for trial. Requisition
papers were honored by the state de-
partment at Washington and forwarded
to Mexico as fast as possible. They
were locked up, but when it came to
extraditing them the detective found
himself blocked. Under the Mexican
law foreigner may go there, renounce
all allegiance to the country from
whence he came, become a Mexican
citizen anu thus avoid extradition.
Rowe had taken advantage of this law,
although he had only been in the City
Of Mexico about three weeks. AS re-
suit, there is likely to be hot legal
cantest in which the United States gov.
ernment will probably play a promi.

NEW METHOD OF DOING PENANcE
Cincinnati Girl Thrusts Dozens of Needles
Into Her Legs.

Cincinnati Girl Thrusts Dozens of Needles
Into Her Legs.
CINCINNATI, July PA we'll dressed
lady applied at the Cincinnati hospital
for admission. She presented letter
from the mother superior Of the con-
vent where the young lady had resided.
The letter said the bearer, Miss Nellie
Thomas, had been employed at the
convent some time and was suffering
from swollen legs and feet. Nothing
except the symptoms referred to in the
letter was found in the preliminary ex-
animation, but later it was decided to
lance the feet, when it was found the
limbs and feet were embedded with
pins and needles. Forty-one needles
were extracted from her body and she
was not able to endure further opera
tions. 1t is thought others will be
found. The physicians believe that
blood poison will set in and the case, lin
any event,
May Provo Hopeless.
The girl protested, until after the oper-
alto MS, that she could not tell how her
feet and limbs became embodied with
these needles, but finally she said she
had been at the convent of the Good
Shepherd for several years. She was
an orphan and alone in the world. Dur
ing her stay there she had done
wrong. Not once, but persistently.
She had done that which she knew was
not right, and for every sin she had
committed she had done penance by
thrusting needle into one of her legs.
She explained that each operation had
caused her agonizing pain, and that at
times the operations were almost un-
bearable, but she felt she must bear
the pain as recompense for the sin
committed.
