Ispent two days in Salt Lake
City, during which time / was Sc
apart to my mission to the Southern
states, and visited friends and ole
school fellows.
saturday evening, May 10th, at J
p. m. / took the u. P. train fol-
Ogden. The trip from salt Lake to
the Junction City was delightful and
never would have tired of gazing
at the beautiful landscape from the
car window under different circum-
stances. The meadows skirting the
lake on the west were replacing the
old witha new carpet of green. The
lofty peaks of the wahsatch range
lowered heavenward on the east,
and the whole scene was made glo-
rious by the rays of the setting sun.
In my hand was a copy of the
Evening News. My eyes would
wander from the paper to the beau
tiful landscape, and then anon to
the throngs of people assembled at
the railway stations, all along the
route to say good bye to their young
friends departing for the Lords vim
yard to prune it for the last time.
NOW might be seen, perhaps a
widowed mother. placing her only
son upon the alter, or young wife
her newly welded husband. The
sobs and tears all touched respon-
sive cord in my own heart, as / sat
there alone stranger and unknown
thinking of my own dear ones away
down in sunny Dixie. / thought
of how it made my own heart bleed,
when the good-by was said, and
these sad scenes opened the wounds
anew. .aas .:sJs- :. ,as

tives in his former home, travelled

NO PAY FOR PLUMMER.
Board DfsallOvvs His Claim, to Brin.
the Matter to LeeaI Issue

The board of county commissioners
held an adjourned meeting yesterday
and wrestled with the legal construc-
ton Of the law governing the offices
of register Of deeds and clerk of courts.
When the law placing those offices
upon salary basis went into effect.
the board took counsel as to the mean
ing of the law, and was advised that
the proper plan to be used was to have
the officials pay the money into the
county treasury, and have the auditor
draw warrants for the help. Now, how
ever, the whole system will be re-
versed, and the officials will hereafter
pay their own help, and report the pay
mentS to the county, turning over the
balance in their hands to the treasurer.
If there is no balance, then the county
will make up the deficit and issue war
rants for the unpaid amounts. This is
the kind of double entry bookkeep-
ing that will be INDUCED in for the
future.
All this came out through the pre-
sentation by Wilson A. Plummer, reg
lister of deeds, of a claim against the
county for $1,2S390. This claim grew
out Of the loss of money which Mr..
Flummer had deposited in the Bank Of
New England and the American Ex-
change bank prior to their failure. He
was under the impression that he must
lose the amounts because they were
deposited in his name; but afterward
he took legal advice and the result
was the presenting of the bill. This
bill was referred to Special Attorney
Num-, of the county board. He asked
the opinion of the county attorney and
some of the judges of the district court,
and they gave the opinion that mas
much as the money should have been
paid by the register of deeds to his
help, and he should not have paid 1t
to the treasury, that the loss is the
county's and that Mr.. Plummer should
be allowed his claim. The board, after

small object upon the scarf of a
young man in Sixth-avenue car hap
pened to attract the eye of a sympa-
thetic and near-sighted old lady sitting
opposite. The small object seemed at
hrst glance to be gaudy beetle i'm
paled upon pin and kicking franti-
cally to release himself.
The old lady arose from her seat
with the evident intention of berating
the youth. who. she supposed. like the
late Bill Nye's dog, was collector of
insects, for his cruelty Her indigna-
ton turned to horror, however, when
she discovered that the beetle was in
reality a tiny silver skirt dancer kick
ing her diminutive foot into the air in
a most lifelike manner
The skirt dancer is a novelty in the
way Of scarfpins. One of her legs is
trif1e more rigid than it really ought
to be. but the other is active enough
for both.
There Is a pneumatic arrangement
within the figure which Is connected
by means of concealed rubber tube
with small rubber ball carried in the
pocket of the wearer. Like Loie Fuller,
you have to reach into your pocket to
see her dance.
1t is only necessary to apply a little
pressure to the bulb in the pocket and
the skirt dancers pedal extremity de-
scribes arcs in the air with precision
enough to destroy tile at every kick.
You press the bulb. she docs a turn
The chief advantage of the small silver
Loie over the other kind lies in the
fact that she is perfectly obedient to
the stage managers wishes, and all
her kicking is confined to her own line
of business

LOVE TURNED TO HATE.
Strange Murder of a Russian Dealer
Hacked to Death by His Wife.

st. Petersburg Novosti.
What appears to be a miscarriage Of
justice has been perpetrated by the re-
cent finding of a jury in a murder case
tried by the Kazan tribunal. The de-
PENDANT was the VICTIMS wife, and al
though she confessed, having committed
the murder 1T was matter of grave
doubt whether she could be held re-
sponsibIe.
The circumstances of the case are as
follows: In the village of Essende-
Kassy, District Of Cherboksarsk, a gem
eral dealer named Antonoff was found
murdered in summer house adjoining
his residence. Beside him lay his cloth
es in disorder but the fact that several
things, among them his purse, were
missing, led to the suspicion that rob-
berry was the motive for the crime
Antonoff's young wife declared that she
had been with him when he fell asleep,
but that she had then left him and
had gone to her room for the night.
No one for a moment supposed that she
had anything to DO with his death.
Shortly afterward, however, the miss
ing effects were discovered concealed
in the garden. Tereupon Mrs. Antonoff
became confused and admitted that she
had murdered her husband On being
questioned as to7her motives for the
act, she gave such indefinite and ex-
y w
aroused as to her sanity.
Perhaps you were forced into mar
rying him?" she was asked
mo, took himoof my own free will,
because I loved him." was the reply.
And then she added the strange state
ment: II don't know why I killed
him. The night on which 1 became his
wife 1 hated him, and when he fell
! asleep I hacked him with an AK. .
My head aches"
But the most remarkable point de-
veloped in the inquiry was that Mrs.
Antonoff's sister, who had married
previously, had evinced a like sudden
aversion to her husband on the night
of her marriage. The accused was
thereupon placed under medical obser-
walton, as a result of which a report
was made by the medico-legal expert
engaged, declaring that she had prob
ably committed the crime laid to her
charge while suffering from the ply
Geological equivalent Of epilepsy (epi-
lepsia larvata). According to the phys1-
clans evidence, Mrs. Antonoff, while
under observation, frequently suffered
from such complete absences that she
did not recognize those around her,
and in these instances there was a COM
plete failure of the reflex action of light
upon her eyes
Notwithstanding this expert evidence,
the accused was placed on trial by jury,
and was, of course, found guilty. The
court sentenced her to the loss of all
civil rights and to hard labor in Siberia
fol- six years.

sHIPwRECKED CREW ABUSED.
Accused by Spaniards of Being
Cuban FiIibusters.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-AmOng the
passengers who arrived today on board
the Ward line steamer Yucatan, from
Havana, were Capt. Nelson and twelve
of the crew of the British steamer Col
ia, which ran ashore on Colorado reef
on Nov. T. Later the steamer got off
into deep water, and Capt. Nelson at
tempted to run her across the strait
to Key West, but the water gained so
rapidly that they abandoned the steam
err, which shortly afterwards sank in
deep water. The shipwrecked seamen
landed on the Cuban coast about sixty
miles west Of Havana, when they fell
into the hands Of Spanish soldiers, who
believing them to be flibusters from
ers harshly, threatening to shoot all
hands. Finally they were removed to
Havana, where they were taken in
charge by the British consul, who sent
them to New York. Henry w. Delorey,
one of the shipwrecked crew, after de-
scribing the wreck of the Gotta, said to-
day:
ION landing in Cuba we were taken
in charge by a troop Of soldiers, who
escorted us to a sugar estate. Here
they used us very kindly, but they had
strong suspicion that we were American
filibusters. Later in the day another
troop of soldiers took US to Mariel,
where they insisted I could speak Span
ish. I was taken to the headquarters
and questioned by a big Spaniard, who
asked If we were English or American.
I answered, English No, American
said he, striking me on the neck and
over the head with a loaded cane, stun
ming me. The blood ran down my face
and back, and as three soldiers pointed
their guns at me, I expected to be shot.

Preparations Begun for the Ma

The convention of the National Grocers' as
ISOLATION, which will meet in Minneapolis
about the list of September, next year, prom
ises to be a well-attended affair, and the
local association is doing its utmost to make
a success Of the national gathering. The re-
tail grocers of Minneapolis, at the semi
monthly meeting held last evening in the
Sykes block listened to a partial report from
F. LorenZ, chairman of the committee ap-
pointed to make arrangements for the ma
tional gathering. He reported that judging
from correspondence with outside associa-
tons, much interest is being taken in the
convention to be held in Minneapolis, and the
outlook for its success was encouraging. P.
G. Hanson, the vice president of the Min
nesota and of the National associations, also
made a report which was along the same
general lines. The expectations are to also
hold a pure food exhibit, probably at the
Exposition, at the same time as the conven-
ton. Being about the same time as the state
fair, 1t will attract thousands of strangers
to Minneapolis, as well as the large numbers
who will come to attend the grocers' conven-

interest in the annual gathering, and the
prospects are for the attendance Of grocers
from all parts of the United States.
At the meeting last night the matter of
package coffee was discussed by the grocers.
The members have an agreement to handle
three brands, but some have violated the
agreement. The matter was thoroughly sifted
and on motion the board Of directors was
authorized to take such action as necessary
to thoroughly enforce the provision.
The bread agreement, which provided for
selling the article of life for four cents a loaf
was rescinded entirely, as it has been dead
letter for two years.
The matter of violations of the -four agree
ment was brought up and reports made

the shoulders, and forms a short train
that may be omitted IL desired. The
full front is caught up in a tiny
shirred ruff1e at the bust. The stylish
sleeves are in the bishop style, and are
gathered into bands of insertion to
match the trimming used down each
side of the front. They are further
completed by frills of lace which fail
gracefully over the arms. A fitted lin
ing is required for this costume Chal-

1T TOOK TWO BULLETS
To End the Life of OrcOtt Nj. White
Suicide at Medicine Lake.

Orcott M. White, forty-two years Of
age, unmarried and for some time past
employed by the farmers about Medi-
cine Lake, committed suicide by shoot
ing himself in the head Monday Nov
g. His frozen remains were found yes
terday afternoon by two men beside
a large stone near the lake. Coroner
Kistler was summoned and it was only
after investigation that his identity
was learned.
OF late White has been employed at
Sheabey's hotel and his abrupt de-
parture from the place without ex-
PLANTATION or farewell was considered
strange. News of his suicide was heard
with surprise, as he was not known to
be in ill-health or suffering mental
affiiction. The act, however, was done
without undue haste. Carefully seat
ing himself on a large rock near the
side of the lake he emptied two cham
bers Of the revolver into his head and
died almost instantly. In his pockets
was found some correspondence and
part of a bottle of whiskey. From the
former it was learned that his relatives
reside in Aurora, ILL.,, and he also has
brother at Oakland, Cal The re-
mains were brought to the county
mOrgue where a poSt-mortem examin-
alton will be held today. His relatives
have been notified.

THEIR DEAD REMOVED.
For an Act of the City, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sacks Seek So $50.

One Of the most extraordinary suits ever
entered against the city Of Minneapolis has
been begun by John and Minnie Sacks who
propose by the aid of the courts to mulct the
city to the extent of $2,250. In their com
plants, served this morning upon Mayor
Pratt. they made the astounding charge that
the city has disinterred the bodies of their
sacred dead and removed them to some un-
known place.
The suits are sequels to the abandonment
Of Maple Hill cemetery and the opening by
the city of a street through this old burying
ground. The Sacks were first apprised of
this in the early part of this year, and inn
mediately Instituted search for their dead
who had been inferred in the strip taken by
the city Their unavailing search for the
five little corpses was fully accounted at the
time.
In his complaint John Sacks recites that
he purchased the north half of lot 9. block
So, of Maple Hill cemetery, from Robert w.
and Martha J. Cummings. The agreement
was that the land should always be used for
cemetery purposes, but in 1894 the city en-
tered upon the premises and without the
sanction Of the Sacks took it for q street.
For this act he claims damages in the sum of
$3.50.
Further he recites that in 1866 he buried
his daughter Bertha in the cemetery plot he
had purchased In 1871 ne buried his son
Charles, and in 1876 his children, Louisa
John and Dora. A niece was also buried in
the same lot In 1872. The bodies of his loved
ones were without his knowledge and without

DECISIVE BATTLE ON.
Maceo and WeyIer Engaged in Pin
ar del Rio.

CHICAGO, Nov ia special from
Jacksonville, Fla, says: Cipher dis
patches just received report a fierce
battle in progress in Pinar del Rio. 1t
is believed Maceo and Weyler have
met. The reports of firearms have
been almost necessarily heard for sew
eral hours. No details Of the battle
are given except the statement that a
most decisive engagement is being
Waged. The last definite news of Capt.
Gen. Weyler located him at Oleyea,
within few miles of Maceo's entrench-
ments, where the battle is being waged.
The dispatch adds:
THE insurgent forces are we'll To-
Gated in the hills, and are pouring a
hot fire into the Spanish troops. which
have repeatedly been driven back in
attempts to capture the Cuban strong
hold. The insurgents have the advan-
tage Of position, being at great eleva-
ticn, but the Spaniards are making a
most desperate attack. From dis
tance, it looks as if several towns are
in flames. The sky is lighted up by
the constant fire of the artillery.
Whether or not Maceo himself is di-
recting the insurgents tactics cannot
at this time be learned"
