WORK OF A MADMAN.

Murderer Of Amy Thill Was Undoubtedly
Insane.
NEW YORK, March 29.-That the
murder of Amy Thill and the suicide Of
her slayer, John Bigelow, were the work
of a mailman, is made more certain by
the statements of John Holden, an init
mate friend of the Bigelows. Holden
says that Bigelow has been insane at
least five times within the past 10 years.
The last time Bigelow was in a luna
tic asylum was in the fall of 1892, when
he spent some time in an asylum at
Hartford. He has also been several
times in Bloomingdale. His insanity,
in the belief of Holden, is the result of
a eve attack of Roman fever, which
he contracted when Il ~2-year-old baby,
in Rome.

his grandson, U. 8. Grant, be appoint
ed to q cadetship at West Point. The
letter was Endorsed by General w. T.

Colonel Fred Grant, who says:
II hope to have the pleasure Of pre-
senting that letter in the White House

hope it will have the effect Of securing

U. 8. Grant II was born in Chicago

fondness for boy soldiers, and this fact
did not escape the notice Of the general.
He went to school in Vienna while his
father was minister to Austria from

The Minnesota Legislature has sat
down rather emphatically upon taking a
very elaborate census this year and now
proposes only an enumeration OF the
people. This Is a very sympathetic and
suggestive thought for South Dakota IN
her embarrassment. With the small ap-
preparation at command for compiling
the census and none for taking it, the
work has been thrown upon the county
auditors and township assessors. But
to take an accurate census through as
SCISSORS is simply preposterous. Ii there
is anything in the world ~that.causes an
81 umerator more trouble to get at the
facts than anything else it is the fear IN
the minds Of a majority OF people that
he may be an assessor in disguise. Be-
fore he can get anything like an accurate
statement OF the value and mou OF
property of one kind and another, he
must disabuse the minds he is interro.
eating that be is not IN assessor. The
enumeration OF the family he "a get
easily enough in either case and this is
all South Dakota should attempt to get
under the present conditions OF taking q
census. The very fact that the assessors
have 10 take the census would cast a
suspicion of the accuracy of the whole
census If aught more than the enumera'
ton of the people is attempted, and the
suspicion would be we'll grounded. There
is no use wasting the time and cost OF
assessors taking anything more than
the people, as no reliance could be
placed on the accuracy OF the facts
gathered in regard to anything else.
