y great deal is being said about the
lien law. My opinion is that it would
be good thing to have it repealed
but not to go into effect immediately
| The repeal Of the law would put Il stop
| to the over production OF cotton, aud
| the farmers would then turn their at
tention moro to raising home sup
plies and get year ahead. Just us
long rs we have the lien law we will be
one year behind. But, lien law or no
lien law, it will never be any trouble
for an honest man to get credit.

Il though it was not designed as a
charity, being nothing moro nor less
than an advertising scheme. 1t how

1t was SO effective in curing those
who nscd the remedy that they were
loud in their praises of it and in con-
sequence II large demand for the Cor

St. Louis papers of recent date re-
port the cruel desertion of his blind wife.
Maud, by Richard j. Meining, hotel
clerk, we'll known throughout the west.
Dick" Meining in 1889 met in Duluth,
Mimi, Miss Maud H. Hays. then 81 years
old, who was in that city on visit from
her home in Los Angeles. He persuaded
her to elope with him, and in November
they were married in Seattle, Wash.
Meining's home was in Duluth, and his
relatives were there.
After travelling about for year the
couple returned to Duluth, but soon af-
terward Meining decided to go to st.
Paul On arrival he telegraphed for
his wife to meet him, but when she ar
rived he had disappeared. She went
home to her father. who had meantime
removed to Leadviile, Col. Three weeks
afterward her husband persuaded her to
return to him, and they again Travelled
about the country, finally returning to
Duluth. Gradually her aff1iction grew
until at last she became totally blind.
having to be led about A couple of
weeks ago Meining was called to Duluth
from Chicago by his fathers death, and
when starting back took his wife with
him to ST. Louis. In that city on Tues
day last he deserted her at Hurst's ho-
tel leaving her almost penniless.
During the greater part of their mar
ried life Mrs. Meining says that her hus-
band has treated her with great cruelty
and the day before he left her. as they
were passing a blind woman sitting at
a street corner playing a hand organ, he
told her she had better begin taking
pointers on the business, as she would
have to be doing that for living pretty
soon. The unfortunate woman has ap-
piled to the police of st. Louis to have
them locate her husband if possible.

An Angry Teamster's r'sAtro-
cious Act
HIS TERRIBLE BRUTALITY
choked the Animal TO Death Against a
Wagon Wheel
And Afterwari Stamped the Llfeiess Head
Under His Boot Heels-Arrested
for Cruelty to Animals

. For an act of terrible brutality, result
ing in the death of mule which was
simply tortured until 1t died, r. Van
Court, teamster, was last night ar
rested and lodged in Jail to answer a
charge of cruelty to animals. Van Court
works for Contractor H. c. Withers and
the crime for which he is now in custody
occurred at the barn where the animals
are kept, in the rear of 720 South Wall
street.
Just before o clock the teamster went
to the shed to take the mule out to water.
The animal, he says, kicked at him
which so enraged him that he belabored
it with the only result that it grew ex-
cited and kicked all the harder. At this
he lost his temper and made up his nina
that he would conquer and punish the
beast Before he got it out of the barn
The animal had kicked one side OF the
structure loose, but Van Court event.
ually got rope with slip moose at the
end around it's neck and dragged the
mule out into the yard.
A large heavy dirt wagon was stand
ing there through the wheel OF which ne
PASSED the end of the rope and pulled the
animal up to the wagon. The frighten-
ed mule reared and plunged, Wnlcn only
served to tighten the deadly moose about
its neck BY this time the noise of the
struggle and the curses of the excited
man had drawn several spectators who
endeavored to make him desist and.
failing. telephoned to the police station
for assistance. AS 1t was choking to
death the mule reared and fell over
partly into the wagon breaking the sides
and a heavy pole used as brake lever,
thence dropped to the ground dead, with
a broken neck.
About this time Van Court was grap-
pied and held by Ed Rourke, another
teamster, but, wild with rage, broke
away and brutally jumped upon the
head of the dead beast and stamped 1t
under his heavy bootheels. He appear
ed to have altogether lost his head and
the worst instincts of his nature were
aroused. The arrival of Officer Rich
ardson put stop to the sickening scene.
Van Court being arrested and taken to
Jail. He had little to say about the mat
ter save that he had resolved to conquer
the mule which had before displayed
vicious disposition. Today he will ap-
pear in the police court for arraignment
on a charge of cruelty to animals.

SCHOONMAKER'S SAY
He Tells of His Relations With the Dress
maker. Ottilie BurkoWskv


maker, Ottilie Burkowsly
A letter has been received in this city
from Harry Schoonmaker of Cincinnati,
O., which throws considerable light
upon the past record and antecedents
of Ottilie Burkowsky, the German dress
maker who recently skipped the city to
avoid imprisonment for threatening the
life of Miss Elsa Bierlich, cello player
in the Palace orchestra, who is at the
same time the wife of Schoormaker.
The Burkowsky woman is infatuated
with Schoonmaker and for months wrote
his wife the vilest letters possible to con-
ceive of, threatening her with all sorts
of personal injury. At the time the mat
ter was being aired in the police court
an evening sheet published a story in
which the Bufkowsky woman was re-
ferred to as of the Polish nobility.
In his letter Schoonmaker says that
her father was Russian weaver, her
mother a peasant woman and that he
has often seen photographs of them. o.

company scattered far and wide to meet
again later at the chamber of commerce.
Everything AT the chamber was in
readiness for the reception. Punch,
light wine and tea cakes were served in
the club rooms. The whole suite of rooms
was charmingly decorated in the golden
waffle acacia and marguerites; they
filled the fish net that draped the ceiling,
and they obliterated the mail bag that,
tied with golden satin ribbons, was
hung at the entrance to hold the
cards of the guests The American flag
was also greatly in evidence.
F. S. Putnam and ]. w. Holland were
at the chamber. The greatest delight
and enthusiasm was shown by the COM
pany at the wonderful display at the
chamber and exclamations of surprise
were heard on all sides over the wonder
full California productions.
After a deal of pleasant converse at
the chamber the whole party was taken
In carriages to drive about the city
The points of interest of course took
In Adams street, Figueroa and all the

hos and carriages. Here the reception
committee consisted of Colin Stewart,

Adams. Ed Stearns, w. H. Hill and

Pasadena looked, indeed, beautiful to
even the oldest Californian, and the
day was simply perfect. The drive was
through Orange Grove avenue. Colorado
street, the old Raymond hotel site and
all the beautiful residence portion of the
city. Oranges were gathered from the
trees and the orange and almond bios
SONS filled the air with perfume. The
city fairly. echoed with the exclamations
Of pleasure heard on all sides. Each one
felt that he could not express the ad-
miration he felt sufficiently
AT SANTA MONICA
At Santa Monica the party was met
by large delegation of citizens with
Impressions of welcome. Carriages were
provided and all were driven around this
seaside resort
Many of the people from the middle
west were simply enchanted with the
sea. To them the beach proved most at
tractive, and, though none ventured in
