A TRAMP'S TALE,
Which is Not Believed, But Will Be IN
vestigated.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1O.-A special
from Washington, Ind, says a tramp
about 1 a. m. today found enough dyna-
mite and nitro -glycerine placed on the
track near Mitchell, Ind, to blow the
engine to pieces as soon as it struck it.
He ran to the nearest switch, tore off
the lamp, and, returning, signaled the
approaching express train. He was
shot at by the wreckers and was found
unconscious by the trainmen. Officers
of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
are inclined to doubt the tramp's story,
as they have no information of his being
wounded, or having shown any dyna-
mite. However. they will investigate.

an old fashioned ice palace this win

cuss what form of entertainment st.
Paul should have this winter. The
question whether to have a winter
carnival such as was held last winter

favored the former, and he had
small following, but the sentiment of
the meeting soon proved to be prac-
ideally unanimous in favor Of the pal

He Will Hang.

Napa, CAL, Nov. 22.-William Roe,
alias Moore, was to-day found guilty
of the murder of Mrs. Greenwood, and
will be sentenced to be hanged. In
1891 two masked men entered the
house of Capt. and Mrs. Greenwood,
residents Of this place. They de-
manded money, and on being refused
proceeded to torture the aged couple.
Mrs. Greenwood was forced to drink
poison, from the effects of which she
died, and her husband was shot and
seriously wounded by the robbers.
Both men then escaped with consider
able booty. Shortly afterward Carl
Schmidt was arrested and convicted of
completely in the murder. He was
sentenced to life imprisonment and is
now In the insane ward of San Quen-
tin prison. About two months ago
Roe was arrested in Los Angeles.

Washington, Nov. %. Should the
Kansas Populists enact a Inv making
Mexican dollars legal tender, a con-
stitutional question of prime Inn
portance will arise for decision by the
United States supreme court, which
unquestionably would have a case
brought before 1t to test such a law.
The constitution, section 10, declares
that no state shall .coin money, emit
bills Of credit, make anything but gold
or silver coin tender in payment Of
debts" It has been contended that
under this provision Kansas could
make Mexican dollars legal tender
within her borders, but generally it
has been believed TINT under this and
other constitutional provisions, includ-
ing that forbidding the impairment Of
contracts, any such law would be held
invalid by the courts.

To the farmer who desires to secure

but one way open, namely, to place q
thoroughbred male bird at the head Of
It. First kill or all the old and unpro-
ductlve hens, then purchase from re-
liable breeder a large and well-shaped
male. It is not necessary that this
bird should be one capable Of taking q
premium in the poultry show, but at.

symmetry. It is surprising what a diff

Of their pullets was at least one pound

MEANER THAN DIRT

Cuntrymen

A Pole Swtndles Q Number OF HIS
Cuntrymen
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-The mean
est land swindle ever carried out in
Washington has Just been discovered.
Already fifteen families have come to
Seattle from Bremond, Tex, to take up
homesteads, which M. Makowski, man
ager of the Washington Farming Land
company, said awaited them. These
people have found to their dismay that
Mak0wski has skipped the country.
Some idea Of the enormity Of this
swindler's crime can be obtained when
it is known that each family sold out
all it's possessions in Texas at less
than half-value in order to secure
money sufficient to bring them to their
new home. It cost the party $1,000
for car fare alone, besides what they
paid Makowski, and now they are at
their destination without friends and
with little money. They are all Poles,
countrymen of the swindler.
Makowski has, it is understood, been
receiving money from people in other
places In Texas, and also in Illinois.
He has been getting money orders by
the hundreds, and the postoffice au.
thorlties are looking him up. He OPP
Grated In q very scientific manner,
and not one of the Texans have ever
seen him. He had an attractive "ad"
put in q Polish paper, the name Of
which could not be learned. This
paper circulated among the Poles In
Texas. The advertisement gave it's
readers to understand that the Wash.
ington Farming Land Company Of Sc
attic had strings on large tract Of
valuable land, and that IL q person de-
sired to take up homestead the land
