MADAME NORDICA TO SUE.
Will Try for Alleged Back Salary and
Damages of the Royal Opera Syn
dictate.

New York, June "a dispatch from
London to the Journal says: Madame
Nordica said today that she has placed
her professional affairs in the hands
of Col. Henry Mapleson, and acting on
his advice, will at once sue the Royal
opera syndicate of which Maurice Grau
is managing director, for her salary,
amounting to about $4,000 and for heavy
damages to her reputation as an artist
in not being permitted to sing at COYent
Garden during the present opera sea-
son.
In an interview with Col. Mapleson,
who said he spoke in behalf of Nine.
Nordica, published in the Daily Mail,
Saturday, he said with reference to her
quarrel with Jean De ResZke: Nothing
could be further from Nine. NOrdica's
desire than to continue the quarrel. She
is of fOrgiving and generous disposition
and would not resist any settlement
which should be consistent with her
naturally offended amour prOpre.
Jean De ResZl1e's generosity is almOts
prOverbial, and it does seem strange
that between two such participants in
dispute, no happy issue can be discov-
cred. L may say that influence from
the highest quarter is being employed
to heal the quarrel, influence which
must surely in the long run prevail One
circumstance makes the affair especial
ly unfortunate. This year is the tenth
anniversary of the combined debut of
Jean De Reszke and Nine. Nordica in
opera and it is a thousand pities that
this happy jubilee season should be
marred for them by this unfortunate
division.
4 would say that Nine Nordica has
the most admiration for Jean De Reszke
and in order to have an opportunity
for applauding his performance has Ia
ken a box for Tristan and Isolde on
Monday evening when her place on the
stage will be taken by a new German
artist
Tristan and Isolde" was not given
at Covent Garden last night. Romeo
and Juliet was substituted at the last
moment, owing to trouble with Jean De
ReszBe's throat and Nine. Nordica was
not present. She said today that Col
Mapleson was not wrong in attributing
the kindly sentiments he had expressed
on her behalf toward De Reszke Maui
rice Grau said that he had not yet
heard that Nine. NOrdica was con-
templating legal action and declined to
discuss the matter further

Texas Fever in Saline County

Reports that Texas fever has caused
the death of a number of cattle in Sa-
line county have summoned the mem
bers of the state live stock sanitary
commission to that city. The fever
originated, so it is said, with cattle
shipped into the county this spring. N
F. Olson shipped between 200 and 300
head of cattle to Council Grove IN the
spring and drove them west along the
river to bridgeport, on the south line
of Saline county, directly north of Nc
Pherson. The cattle were then sold
out in small lots. Many of the cattle
driven in have already died and the
disease, which is assumed to be Texas
fever. has caused the death of a large
number of native cattle in the neigh
bOrhOOd.

Jefferson City, Mo, June 9-Attor-
ney General Edward c. Grow, at the re-
quest of Gov. Stephens, has rendered
an opinion in regard to slot machines.
The opinion, which may be made the
death kneH of the machine follows:
Dear Sir:-Replying to your inquiry
as to whether or not our laws provide
a method for the suppression of the use
of the slot machine" kept as a device
or game, the terms of playing which
are that the winner shall receive some
thing of value from the loser, beg to
say that in my opinion, under the law
of our state, ample power exists in the
properly constituted authorities to
punish as a criminal offense those who
set up, keep, use and maintain said
devices for the purpose above men
toned.
The attempted licensing of any such
devices is unlawful, and any county,
township, town or city in this state
which attempts to or does license said
devices are violating directly section

HIS HEART OUT OF PLUMB.
Young Man in Salvation Army Hos.
pita1 in Serious Condition.

DlLal IN G6TlOuS COnQ1J1On.
John Wyatt, a young man who is i'll
at the Salvation Army hospital has
had malady which puzzled the doc
tors. His heart has been pushed to-
ward the left side two inches out of
the normal position and his right lung
has been filled with water. In this
condition he was given up to die by
one physician.
Wyatt is young man of Is years
who lives with his parents in Parkdale
He is a member of the American Vol
unteers, but the Salvation Army does
not draw the line on patients, even if
they belong to an order which makes
an effort to compete with them.
Wyatt's father is a crippled veteran
and is in poor circumstances. The
young man became i'll and City Physi-
clan Mitchell attended him. He finally
gave up the case as a hopeless one.
Another physician was called who di-
agnOsed the case and made application
to the Salvation Army officers for ad-
mission of the patient. Wyatt, more
dead than alive, was taken to the hos
pital. His right lung was completely
full of water and the other one was be-
ing affected. On account of the pres
sure of the water in the lung the heart
was forced out of line and there was
great danger that it would be injured.
An operation was performed on the
young mans side, which has so far
proved successful. The right lung was
punctured and over a gallon of water
gushed out. The heart is gradually
regafnfng its normal condition and
case is one which has been puzzling to
the doctors and they have watched it's
developments with considerable inter

FINED FOR NAUGHTY TALK
Mishap of Cyclist Gets Several PEG
pie Into Police Court.

Last evening after supper Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Morris thought to make
opportunity of the pleasant evening and
the smooth pavement on lower Quincy
street to practice on the bicycle. Mrs.
Morris was learning the mysteries of
steering the machine while her husband
coached her in the manipula ton of
the handle bars. She had made good
Roadway and was able to ride some
alone. She tried a ride down the gentle
incline at Third and Quincy street with
out the assistance of Mr.. Morris. But
the bicycle was not to be conquered in
this way and before Mrs. Morris could
stop it she was going toward the curb
stone at an alarming rate of speed.
With crash the wheel struck the stone
and the rider was thrown to the ground
in an ungracefuI position.
1t happened that there We're three
colOred girls standing near who had
been watching the riding. When the
collapse occurred they burst out laugh
ing and made uncomplimentary re
marks. This offended Mrs. Morris, and
soon there was disturbance. The girls
used unpleasant language and Mrs.
Morris had them arrested. Today be-
fore Police Judge Atchison they were
fined IS each in police court for their
sauciness. They said they couldn't help
laughing when the wheel ran down, and
that Mrs. Morris made them mad by
her manner toward them. Mrs. Morris
and others testified to the language
used by the girls

CAN FUSION CARRY COUNTY
Fusionists Depending on Mistakes of
Republicans for Such Result.

When the Democratic county central
committee meets at the F'lambeau club
rooms next Saturday there will prob
ably be an interesting time. There
will be war between the fusion and
anti-fusion wings of the party over the
proper attitude for the party to as
sumo in the fall campaign.
The fusiOnistS of the radical type
want the Democrats to assume a Su-
pine attitude. They not only ask for
fusion, but they desire that the Demo-
Gratis make no nominations whatever,
and after the Populist county conven-
ton, if the right thing is done, hold a
meeting and ratify the action of the
POpulists.
One thing the Democrats will insist
upon, and that is that the Populists
shall indOrse the candidacy of R. B.
Kepley for sheriff On this proposition
there is some division in the Populist
ranks, and if by any means the KEEP
leyites should be defeated and straight
Populist is nominated there will be
war between the Democrats and Pop
ulists and consequently no fusion.
Another factor that is cutting some
figure in the situation is the action of
the Republican county central commit
tee in shutting silver Republicans out
of this action will be to increase the
vote of the opposition at the election
and fusiOnists claim that the combined
forces will be able to defeat the Re
publican county ticket this fall.
So far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, fusion hangs upon the action of
the POpuliSt county convention. If
and if not there will be separate tick
cts. Sheriff Kep1ey's friends are count
ing upon his personal popularity to
carry him through in either event.

HARVARD vANDALS FOUND.
Students Confess to the Painting of
Harvard's Statue-To Resign.

Cambridge, Mass, June "a special
committee which was appointed by the
president of the Junior class at Har-
ward to investigate the recent painting
of John Harvard's statue has reported
that a special student in his first year
had confessed.
He acknowledged that he decorated
the statue with red paint on the night
of May 20 in celebration of Harvard'S
victory over Princeton on the diamond.
The commissioners refuse to publish
the name of the guilty student, but ac-
knowledged that he was requested to
leave the university which he agreed to
do. Two members of the freshman
class, whose names the committee also
withheld, are implicated and when con-
fronted with accumulated evidence, they
handed in their designations. A fourth
man, it is said, may also be asked to
explain what connection he had with
the affair. The statue has been the
mark of college vandals in times past
and on this occasion when it was found
painted in red on three sides with an
H" on the front and back and the
score to on the side, indignation was
intense.
After a thorough search of the local
paint stores and the discovery of a sus-
picious spot of red paint on a young
students clothes which resulted in a
confession, the other men responsible
were cOrnered.
