A DiabOliCal Deed.

During Friday night oi last week some van
dial forced an entrance into the Maclpelah
Cemetery and began a work Of desecration
horrible to contemplate. Selecting the grave
of Mr.. Henry J. Won Holt, whJwas buried on
August 4, 1891, this human g)oul first de'nol-
ished a handsome tombstone aud dug down to
the coffin. The inscription plate was then re-
moved and the glass Fate over the face OF the
remains was shattered with u scaniling, which
was found near by. At this j%uncture the vii
liam must have been surprised or frightened at
SOM passer-by aud desistcd from his terrible
work, as the remains we're not disturbed.
Suspicion pointc! q. an eccentric stranger OF
rough garb WHO had for several DAYS previous
been cutting mp his antics in our town. lie
was apprehcnded in Biloxi and brought back
hv Sheriff C. D. Moore Sunday night. The
general impression is that the man is non
comms, aud commission of inquiry will be
made Us to his sanity. The chain of circum-
~stantial evidence s~kilifnlly woven by tine
| sheriff srems too strong to be broken and later
developments viii no doubt establish the
mans guilt. The man, who has Travelled ex'
t,nsivelv aad is quite versatile gives his name
AS Timothv Hearn. His intimate knowledge o
England aud Australia, together with hi'
General manner, has led to the belief that hi
NAV be the veritaLle Jack the Ripper.

Legislative Notes.

The old capitol hill is all buzz of ex-
element with visitors, lobbyist and work
ers. This week has been the busiest OF
the session. The intricacies of shaping
ard systemizing the new bills and codify-
ing the code is having trying effect upon
the avordupois of its members.
The age Of consent bill, which was
much debated in the senate last week was
referred back to the Judiciary committee
and reported to raise the ago of consent
from Is to 16 years, with specified terms.
The senate cigarette bill passed the
house with some notifications.
There has been 81 bills in the senate
and 800 in the house to date, and 10000
petitioners petitioning for various things,
The semi-centennial celebration of the
resources of Iowa will be held at Burling-
ton this fall.
Hon. George l.. Finn, ex-senator from
Taylor county, also ex-ssnators Dent,
Dodge, Boardman, and Andrews visited
the capitol this week. Senator Harsh,
who was great power in the committee
room, and great facilitator of business,
is gone, as is Hons. Finn Clark, Vale.
Boardman, Reynolds, Kelly, Dent, Con
veg. and Mack. Their genial compan-
ionship is thought Of much regret.
Americans visitors are very few
and as arace they do not manifest the in
terest and respect due Iowa's solons.
When will our race learn to know the
duty of the hour.
