At meeting yesterday in New York of
Lodge No. 50 Of the Independent Order
Free Sons of Israel, Julius Hamburger, the
grand master of the order, made an address
in which he referred to the visit of Herr
Ahlwardt the German anti-Semitic agita-
tor. to this country. He said, among other
things:
1.-The visit of DR.. Ahlwardt to our hos
pitable shores to engender and inculcate
anti-Semitic doctrines will fail at the out
set. This fanatic, bigot ana alien imbued
with hatred for the Israel;teS from his child
hood, sets up a gospel Of his own to preach
on American soil, which Is in contradis-
tinction to the fundamental principles of
our great, free and most liberal government

HISSMAIER'S ASSASSINATION
His Relatives Dissatisfied With the 40.
ton of Minister Baker.
Indemnity Wanted for the Estate
That Was Conhscated by the
NfcaraEuan Authorities.

Representative Lacey of Iowa had an in
terview with the officials Of the State De-
pertinent Saturday morning in regard to
the case Of Joseph Hissmaier, 8 former resi-
dent of Chicago, who was assassinated at
Matagalpa. Nicaragua In October. 1894.
The friends OF the deceased have been in
vestigating this case for a year. as Mr.. Hiss
maier's absence from his home was a mys-
terry until the news of his violent death was
recently received from Mr.. Baker, the
United States minister to Nicaragua
Minister Bakers Dispatch.
In his dispatch to the State Department
Minister Baker said that Hissmaier was
assassinated and robbed at a coffee planta-
ton near Matagalpa in October. 1894. mo
papers were found giving information as to
his citizenship, but he was supposed to have
teen a naturalized American citizen" says
Minister Baker.
After his death. at my request, there
being no American consul at Matagalpa, Mr..
Charles T. Manning was appointed as Gu
rator of the small estate and the govern
mont Of Nicaragua Endorsed the appoint
mert. When Mr.. Manning applied for pos
session of the property his request was de-
led unless he was able to prove Mr.. Hiss
maier had been a citizen of the United
states. This proof Manning could not fur
nish, therefore the native authorities ap-
PiOPtidtcu SUCH properly as was found.
Il understand 500 in gold, a small piece
OF land near Matagalpa, which Hissma!er
purchased for 500. and a mule and a few
cattle comprised his estate. 1t Is believed
he had a much larger sum Of gold, but no
one seems to know what became OF It,
The chief Of the assassins was lynched
and hung to tree and those charged with
the lynching were not convicted"
Indemnity Asked.
DR.. Henry Geiger, brother-in-law OF the
deceased. is dissatisfied with the action Of
Minister Baker in the matter. and he has
enlisted the services of Representatives
Lacey and Cooke ir an endeavor to secure
II demnity for the confscated estate. 1t is
alleged that the estate would never have
been confiscated IL Minister Baker had taken
the proper steps to obtain proof of the citi-
zenship of Hissmaier, which could have
been ee silly supplied by his relatives In Chi
cego IL it had been applied for. 1t is said
that the present complication would not ex-
list IL the minister had promptly reported
the death of Hissmaier instead of delaying
bis report until after the Nicaraguan au-
thorities had taken the property because
OF the absence of the necessary proof of
citizenship. 1t Is probable that the Mica
raguan government will be asked to COM
pensate the heirs Of the deceased for the
loss of his estate as an act of comfy in
view OF all the circumstances

to between 100000 and S75.0OO.

USE EVERY ENERGY
No Effort Should Be Spared to
Secure the New Hospital.
WILL BE OURS BY PROPER WORK.

The County Stands Ready to DO Its
Share and Business Men should DO
Likewisc-The Commissioners Expected
to Visit the County the Coming Week.
In the light of present circum-
stances and appearances Rock Island
county is reasonably certain of Sc
curing the location of the proposed
new Western Insane asylum. All
indications favor its coming here.
Every advantage is possessed and only
the proper effort is necessary to the
winning of the location. On the ques-
ton of sites and surroundings the
county leads any other locality in
the state; on railway facilities it is
unexcelled; on the subject of water
its superior opportunities arc con-
ceded; in the matter of fuel it will
hold its own with any. So that
with all these points taken in con-
sideration Rock Island county, it
seems, must only be true to itself to
win. 1t must back up its own
claims. 1t must permit no other
county to Guido it in the matter OF
financial Inducements.
County Ready to DO Its Share.
The part that the county OF Rock
Island is to do officially in securing
the location of the projected institu-
ton is not confined to the appoint
ment of committees, etc. When the
board of supervisors held it's last
session the sentiment was carefully
and accurately canvassed as to how
the members stood on the further
question of financial responsibility,
and it was reliably ascertained that
the supervisors to a man stood for
covering the hand of every other
county. and going it one or two bet
ter ii necessary.
So far SO good as regards the coun-
ty, but there will be other demands
for funds, and to provide for these
a private subscription should be
started. That liberal response
will attend such an undertaking has
been abundantly demonstrated by
the disposition manifested by those
who have been already informally ap-
preached. Rock Island does not
propose to be outdone in this mat
ter. 1t believes it is the choice for
the location. and it will not treat it
with Indifference the opportunity.
but seize it. 1t will stand on its
rights.
The Commission.
The recently appointed commits
sion on the location OF the new asy-
lum, it is expected, will visit the Of
fered sites the coming week. Rock
Island should be prepared at that
time to present its claims with all
the backing that is essential to make
an immovable impression.

and the breaking of the clouds this
morning, but in the hour during

such length of time.
The Damage.
The storm came with so much
force that it did considerable DAM
age. although not nearly so severe as
on the occasion of the last down
pour. There was the usual rush Of
water and mud from the bluff addi-
tions, and the volume that came

and but for the vigilance shown by

marking on the matter this morning
stated that he was getting pretty

not be surprising il he made some
radical move in the interest of self

The Milwaukee Has Tired OF Carrying

General Baggage Agent Carrick. of
the St. Paul road. has prepared a
tariff on bicycles which will be put
in force at once. The rapid increase
in the bicycling craze has led the St.
Paul, in common with some other
roads, to fix a regular tariff for
transporting the wheels. Charge
will be made at excess baggage rates,
and will be governed by the amount
the wheelman has paid for his ticket.
If IS or less, the charge for his
wheel will be 25 cents: if 81, it will
be so cents; if $l1 or $l2. the charge
will be IS cents; if SIS, there will be
a tax of $3.50. At the rates laid
down a wheelman taking his wheel
with him to the Pacific coast will
have to pay IS. The same tariff will
be charged for tricycles and baby
carriages. None of these vehicles
will be carried at less than % cents.
