BOULDER IS DEAD.
Chaseburg Farmer Who was Sus-
pected of Having Killed
His Wife.

Viroqua, Wis, Dec. 16.-Anotner
startling chapter has been added to the
Chaseburg tragedy of Friday night.
Franz Boulder, an ignorant farmer, de-
scribed as brutal and of violent temper,
killed his wife, and an officer sent to
arrest him was expected to have lodged
him in Jail here late Saturday night
Instead, however, of returning with the
murderer, Sheriff Olson found Boulder
dead in his Woodshed on arriving at
Chaseburg to make the arrest. He was
hanging by the neck with a small rope
around his neck, his feet on the floor.
The body was rigid, indicating that life
had been extinct for several hours. The
sheriff returned late Saturday night and
in company, with the district attorney
left early the next morning for the scene
of the tragedy. Until they arrive no
authentic facts can be ascertained.
Boulder either took his life or was
lnyched, circumstances pointing to the lat
ter. Boulder was left in charge of son
and a neighbor Saturday, while another
son came to the city to notify the officer
of his mothers murder. The guards say
the old man left the room for few min
utes and that he was dead when they
found him in the shed.
Boulder, it is said, has had frequent
trouble with his family and often abused
his wife and son. Friday night, it is
said, he was incensed against his son,
who had interposed to protect his ROth-
err when he suddenly seized a gun and
without warning leveled it. at Mrs. Boud.
Ter, killing her instantly.

Delegate Pomeroy offered a substitute
for the report of the committee, declar-
ing that the failure of the Denver con-
vention to adopt the twelve planks as
a political platform made it patent that
the Federation has no platform which can
be called political. The substitute elicit
ed a spirited debate and was adopted by
a vote of 1876 to pa.
That part of the presidents report
that referred to the mission of trades
unions was taken up next. Delegate
Pomeroy offered resolution regarding
the requirement of unions desiring adj

constitution providing that local unions
not affiliated with the national unions be
excluded from the central bodies, was
under discussion when the hour for re-
cess arrived.

A Fraudulent Banker.

The other evening q stylish and gen.
tlemanly looking individual stepped in
to one Of the leading restaurants of Par
Is, took his seat at q table and ordered
a very fine dinner. When it was serv-
ed up, he tackled the dishes with the
placid delight Of genuine epicure.
When he was half through the dessert,
a closed cab drew up at the door Of
the establishment, and grave looking
gentleman requested permission to look
through the premises as he expected to
find there a fraudulent banker, whom
he as detective was instructed to take
into custody. OF course his demand
was complied with, and no sooner had
he entered the dining-room than he
pointed to the luxurious reveller and
whispered in the landlords ear:
"You see, our information was cor
rect. There he is. But for your own
sake we prefer to avoid a row. Please
tell the gentleman that his friend, Bar
on L., is outside and wishes to speak to
him for a minute"
On receiving the message our CASTRO
nomlst Immediately rose from the table
and went out on the boulevard, where
he was taken possession Of by the detec-
tive, who put him in the cab and drove
off with him. Next day the restaurant
keeper went to the nearest police Office
to recover payment for the fraudulent
bankers dinner, amounting to about
sixty francs. But neither the commits
sary nor his subordinates knew any
thing of the supposed capture. In the
end it turned out to be nothing more
nor less than clever bit Of comedy got
up for the purpose of enabling one Of
the actors to have good blowout"

The railroads are having something of

there is employment for all at good

Men coming here from the north say the

the matter is that many of these men

is more likely to engender forgetfulness
than deepen love.
All the while he was away from Alipore
he had never heard any news OF the

when he returned to Alipore whether she
had married the Sergeant or not.

TEST STATE BANK LAW.
Way TO Determine the Constitutiona1itv
of the Georgia Measure.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 13.-The Georgia
Legislature has opened the way for
constitutional test of the 10 per cent
tax on state bank notes. as suggested
by Secretary Hoke Smith in a recent
speech.
The Calvin banking act. passed at a
former session, has been amended so
that within a short time some public
spirited citizen of this state will estab-
lish Il bank and issue notes for the OK
press purpose of trying che state bank
tax issue in the courts
Many able lawyers who have given the
subject close study are convinced that
this tax is unconstitutional. and some of
them will volunteer to defend in the
courts an issue of state bank notes.
This case will attract the attention of
the whole country.

COLORED MEMS CONFERENCE.
Plans Submitted at Detroit to Do Away
with Lynching.

-
with Lynching.
Detroit, Mich, Dec. 13.-The National
Colored Mems conference was late in
converting this morning. e. G. Cole of
Davenport, Ia, proposed a plan of a per-
manent national organization which pro-
vided for a local association in every
city and village of the country whose
members will pledge themselves to pro-
cure evidence against participators in
mob outrages and aid in the suppression
of all kinds of crime. 1t was referred to
the committee on national plan.
One of the delegates suggested as
remedy for lynching that the country
in which one of these crimes took place
should be required to pay $4,000 to the
family of the victims. Secretary Hen
derson delivered an address in which he
pointed out, on the one hand that the
impulsiveness of the race was liable to
lead some to resort to desperate meas
ures and on the other to the trucking,
submissiveness and cowardliness which
characterized those who showed Will
ingness to resent 10 cruelty. Other
speakers denounced the frequency of
lynchings in the South and then recess
was taken.

Contortionisfs.

The dexterity of skilled performer
is due solely to practice. Contortion-
lists are generally taught at an early
age. beginning with some simple mo-
tons. like bending backward until the
head touches the floor, and rising again
without the aid Of the hands. From
this more difficult feats are learned.
until the muscles and joints become SO
supple that the whole frame can be
