what any other gas man or expert says. I
know when / have taken the receipts OF
that company and its disbursements and
ascertained the amount of the output OF
gas. I can tell myself what is the cost to
that company of its gas, and you will find
that in 1889 1t was $1.S3."
There was long debate between Sena-
tors Kyle and Faulkner as to the cost Of
making gas here, Ringing upon the cost OF
materials.
MIR. Thurston's Remarks.
Finally Mr.. Thurston took the floor to
argue that Mr.. Faulkners method of calcu-
lation. whereby he fixed upon the cost of
making and distributing the gas per thou
sand cubic feet, was not well founded. He
took the ledger account furnished by the
company and analysed it with the ease
and familiarity of one who has had init
mate dealings with enormous business en-
terprises. He asserted that the best, and,
indeed the only way to test the question,
was to reduce the price of the gas now,
and to take true balance at the end of
the year. Demonstrated facts" he said.
will satisfy the people; theories never
cam In conclusion, he said:
LAS a straight business proposition based
on that balance sheet, which, I say, is one
OF the most extraordinary balance sheets
that has ever been made public in the
United States I insist that this company
ought to accept at once and now the one
dollar rate for gas, and let 1t be demon
strated by the balance sheets at the end
of the next year II they have not received
fair return upon their capital"
After some further debate, in which Sem
ators Bacon, Proctor and Gallinger partici-
pated. the Senate voted on Mr.. Georges
motion to reconsider the adoption of the
committees amendments, with the result
as already stated.
Annual Reports Hereafter.
Before the final passage Of the bill Mr..
Kyle presented an amendment which was
adopted, to the following effect:
Provided, That the Washington Gas
Light Company, through its president, shall
make full report to Congress annually on
the 1st day of January, stating in detail
the gross receipts and expenditures, the
cost of materials used in making gas. the
amount used and consumed, the dividends
declared, the extensions and improvements
made in the plant, the surplus and cash on
hand, and how the surplus funds of the
company are invested
The Senate then sent the bill into confer
ence between the two houses. with Sena-
tors Mcmillan, Gallinger and Faulkner as
conferees.

ASCRIBED TO REVENGE,
Tragedy In an Ohio Town Charged
to an Obnoxious Suitor.

Tragedy In an Ohio Town Charged
to an Obnoxious Suitor.
A terrible tragedy occurred last week
near the village Of Lindsey, Ohio, and about
eight miles from Fremont in which one
man was killed, one son has since died and
the other may recover. The deed was
committed about midnight, and evidently
was well planned. The family Of Jacob
Hess were aroused by an explosion which
shattered their home. Mr.. Hess and his
two sons Immediately prepared to leave
the house to ascertain the cause, and they
had hardly stepped out when shot was
fired, and the old gentleman dropped dead.
Another shot, and one of the sons fell,
pierced in the breast with a quantity of
buckshot. Again shot, and the other son
received a wound.
The fiend then escaped. Suspicion points
strongly to the deed having been committed
but a young farmer named Louis Billau, who
had been desperately in love with the
daughter of Mr.. Hess, but his suit had
been strenuously opposed by the father
and also the brother. Lately he has been
prohibited from making calls, and this SO
enraged him that he has been nearly wild.
People who know the young man think
that he has brooded over the love affair so
much that he has become insane The
sheriff and posse started at once In pursuit
Of the man.

MONUMENT TO AN INDIAN.
Iron Nation, the Great Sioux Chief,
Remembered by His Tribe.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
After a delay of many months a monu-
ment has finally been erected on the Low
er Brule Indian reservation, near Chamber
lain, 5. D., to the memory of Iron Nation,
for forty years head chief of the Lower
BruIe tribe of Sioux Indians. This, far
as known. is the first and only instance in
the west where a monument has been
erected to the memory of dead chief by
popular subscription among the people of
his tribe. Iron Nation was prominent figure
In Sioux history for a period of more than
sixty years. and during the early part of
his; e. eutful career was Gistinc lively a war
chief, leading his warriors in numberless
battles against the hereditary enemies of
the SiouX-the Pawnees, eros VentreS, Pom
cas- ard Crows. On one occasion, more
than half 6 century ago, he led his war
riors a raiding expedition into the very
heart of the Pawnee territory in what is
now eastern Nebraska A desperate battle
resulted, in which fully 1000 Indians par
ticipated. The Pawnees were defeated and
their lodges and belongings burned or con-
hs|ated by the victorious Sioux. Many chill
dreh were placed in charge of Sioux
sIuaws and raised as members of the
tribe. At present but one of the captives
Is yet alive. and, although in his old age,
Is contented to remain with the Lower
Brules for the remainder of his days. On
another occasion a war party of Gros Ven
ueS ldlded Lower Brule village during
the absence of the warriors and murdered
two Indian women. one of them being a
sister of Iron Nation. AS quickly as pos
sible Sioux war party was organized and

full flight for their reservation, east of the
Missouri river, near Fort Berthold. Upon
krr1ving opposite the fort band of eros

OF the river. about five miles away. The
Lower Brules had gone into camp, and
iron Nations pony was quietly munching
the grass SINE distance away. Without
stopping to get his pony Iron Nation, boil
ing with rage and eager to reach and pun
ISM the Slayers of his sister, started on foot
IN a race which made him famous in Sioux
history as runner. The Sioux started

Place of Coronation.

through which one must at all times and

lie inferred. In the tBlago-Festchenski So
Dor, not hundred yards off, many more

between the ancient Tower Of Ivan Veliki
and the modern imperial palace.
