tV the office of the Sergeant.at-Arms
the other night while the silver
men were talking. Among them
was Mr.. Lindsay of Kentucky. In
connection with some of the traits of his
native Statehe told number OF friends this
story:
Il was running for petit judge number
OF years ago and had for my opponent an
attorney named Williams. He got out a
circular against me, OH paper about half
the size of an average page of a newspaper
and distributed them all over the country
They were out some time before | heard
anything of them.
"One day we were to have joint de-
bate, and before IL began. friend OF mine
came to Ine and said
"'Will, Williams has got out a circular
against you and it's pizen. Last night
when 1 got home my wife asked me if I'd
brought the fly paper. OF course, I'd for
got il, but reached back and pulled out
that circular, and gave it TO her. We
put a little molasses on it, and killed Il fly
every half second
The story was still with me when
/ began to talk. Just then | saw a young
man holding circular in his hand. / told
the story, and warned him about even
holding the circular in his hand. Just as
| finished he tumbed over in a fit. 1t
was lucky, for carried the county by 500
majority"

- ONE Senators have sporting blood
and some have not. Mr.. Stewart
is certain Mr.. Peffer belongs to
= the first class. Friday night Mr..
Stewart was worried over the small
attendance at The session. He did not like
the small attendance when silver was under
discussion.
So he wandered over to where MIR. Pcffer
sat staring straight ahead at the Speaker.
s'Peffer, III toss you heads or tails
which one shall raise the point of no
quorum"
But Mr.. Peffer grayely shook his head
without removing his eyes from the Speaker.

Accused OF Stealing Several Hundred
Dollars From Her Employer and
Then Beaten to Mako Her Confess.
Spokane, Wash, Oct. 13-Marie
Vovaid, Hungarian woman, unable
to speak English, tells story of bru-
tality which is unparalleled in the.
city's history. She came to Spokane
several months ago, and was induced to
go to the farm of one lombard. living
ten miles from town, to cook. When
she reached the place. lombard com.
PEELED the woman to be his mistress.
she says, and also the mistress of
others about the place. Lombardi's
barn was burned few nights after the
woman arrived, and he claims several
hundred dollars in bills and silver were
stolen. The woman was accused of
theft by another man, whose name can
not be learned. To force the woman
to tell the whereabouts Of the money,
Lombardi used penknife to jab her
in the face, and, according to the
woman's story, he jumped on her
stomach and brutally kicked her.
An unknown employe walked her in
the middle of the night and forced her
60 go to the place several miles dis
tant, and tried to make her tell where
the money was supposed to be hidden.
The woman had not stolen the money
and says the last assailant abused her
even more shamefully than the first.
She ia in such condition that she can.
not be moved from the house. Her
head is one mass of cuts, and her
body, from neck down, is black and
blue. Her neck shows the marks Of
fingers, where one Of her brutal as
sailants clutched her by the throat.
The authorities so far have not moved
in the matter. The woman was visited
today by reporter, who took her story,
and the women of Spokane will prob
ably take care of the case.

HELD UP CONDUCTORS.
The Plan of Three Highwaymen In
Council Bluffs.

The Plan of Three Highwaymen In
Council Bluffs.
Council Bluffs, Ia, Dot. 13.-The
police have been assisting the officers
of the motor company in an effort to
discover three fellows, who have been
holding up motor conductors with
painful regularity, and getting all the
money they carried with them.
Many robberies of this kind have oc-
CURED within a few days. But the
motor people and the police officers
have kept the matter quiet until yes
terday. The plan pursued by the
highwaymen is for two Of them to
board car together and take positions
on the rear platform. When the. car
reaches the point where they want to
tap the conductor, one of them reaches
up and pulls the trolley from the wire.
This shuts off the current, the lights
go out and the car stops. When the
conductor goes to the rear platform
and is bending over the railroad trying
to adjust the trolley, the highwaymen
seieze him, grab his money from the
side pocket Of his coat and jump from
the train.
