DUBOIS IS DEFEATED
An Obscure Farmer Beats Him in the
Idaho Senatorial Contest.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 29.-Henry Heit-
field, nominee of the populist caucus
was elected United States senator ia
succeed Dubois. The decisive ballot
was: Heitfeld, 80; Dubois, 80: T. r.
Nelson, l. Heitfeld got thirteen demo
cratic votes and one republican; Dubois
four democratic. Heitfelt is a farmer
He represents Nez Perez county in the
state senate. He is 40 years old and
his education is apparently only of a
rudimentary character.
This is the end of one of the most
bitter and hard fought fights in the
senatorial arena ever held in the
west.
Chairman Jones Of the national sill
yer democratic committee was very
anxious that Dubois should be sent
back to the capital as he is one of the
most ardent silverites. He wrote a
very urgent letter to the Idaho demo
Gratis almost begging them to support
Dubois. In response to this letter
from Chairman Jones sixteen of the
eighteen democratic members of the
legislature sent 4 dispatch to Mr.. Jones
which said: I'VE denounce the Grbi-
trary interference by federal authori-
ties in local affairs as a violation of the
constitution of the United States and a
crime against free institutions. The
democratic party having been defeated
by an overwhelming majority at the
polls, the adoption of your suggestion
to support Mr.. Dubois would stuItify
our party and forever damn in the es-
timation Of our constituents every
democrat elected by the majority in
the Idaho legislature. The action of
secretary Welsh in seeking to set aside
the entire machinery of our state Or
ganization, before the campaign and
now, is most high-handed, unwar-
warranted proceeding and unparalleled
in the history of American politics."

A YOUNG WOMAN'S CRIME.
Mrs. Archie McDougal Convicted
Numbering Her Husband.

Marinette, Wis, Jan. 29.-The end
of the McDougaI murder case came
yesterday morning when the Jury re-
turned a verdict finding the defendant
guilty Of manslaughter in the fourth
degree the lightest verdict possible
under the Instructions from the court.
The twenty year-old girl who killed
her husband, Archie McDOugaI, only a
few mouths ago, will have to serve a
year in the penitentiary for the crime.
There was a great change in public
sentiment here during the past TWEEN
ty-four hours and the verdict is re-
ceived with positive relief. There is
little doubt that the affecting scenes
Id the courtroom made a decided i'm
preston on the public mind as well
as on the jury. Just as Attorney
Martineau made his closing address to
the jury Mrs. McDougal was seen TO
sway and droop arG then pitch forward
out Of her chair. Her attorneys rushed
towards her and court officers raised
her up tenderly and carried her from
the room. The court announced a
brief recess and in ten minutes the
defendant had recovered sufficiently to
again be brought into court. She was
weak, pale and, withal, pitiful sight

Madison. Feb. l.

Madison, FeD. l.
4 new phase of the legal mess in
vOlged by the collapse of the American
Savings & Loan association of Mime
apolis mas just developed. 1t will be
recalled that NJ. G. Clarke Of Madison
was some time ago appointed by the
circuit court receiver in Wisconsin for
that company. The company had been
required under the law to deposit
100000 of mortgages with the state
treasurer as a safeguard to its Wiscon-
sin shareholders. Mr.. Clarke'S special
duty was to endeavor to collect ON
these mortgages and turn the proceeds
over to the badger shareholders. The
latter had filed some SOS, 900 in claims
and Mr.. Clarke had just fairly gotten
the machinery going by which he
hoped to collect when, yesterday,
the general receiver for the company
in Minneapolis, through his attorney,
E. G.. Hay, filed an answer to the
complaint which had resulted in Mr..
Cl2rke's appointment. The Mime
apOIs receiver asks for the discharge
Of the Wisconsin receiver Oh the
grounds that the association, being
mutual building and loan association,
had no power or authority at any time
to pledge, transfer. assign, sell or dis
pose Of any of its mortgages to the
state of Wisconsin for the benefit CT
protection of resident shareholders;
that they are held wrongfully and
without right or authority of law, that
the shareholders of the association had
no knowledge of the delivery OF said
mortgages to the Wisconsin state treas
urer, nor did they at any time consent
thereto or acquiesce therein, and that
if Wisconsin shareholders receive a
greater dividend than shareholders re-
siding in other states they will be
preferred class of shareholders of the
association, which is against equity
and good conscience and contrary to
the purposes of the association.
1t seems that Wisconsin is the only
state in which the association operated
that demanded and secured a deposit,
hence if the mortgages can be re-
tanned by the Wisconsin receiver,
badger shareholders will presumably
fare bette? than those of other states.
Receiver Clarke, however, has not
made sufficient investigation as yet to
form even a suspicion of the real value
Of the mortgages which were scheduled
when deposited with the state treasur-
er as representing 100000.
The trial is expected to occur in the
circut court soon, and whatever the
decision may be, an appeal TO the SUI
preme court is a certainty. H E.
Briggs is Mr.. Clarke's attorney.

The Scaly Ant Eater.

An animal made of tin plate, of the
shape of an elongated fir cone, about
three feet in length, which crackles and
rustles with every movement. is one Of
the latest acquisitions of the Geological
society of London. Its name is the pan
COLIN, or scaly ant eater, and it belongs
to the same family group as the arma-
dillo and platypus. 1t has excited great
attention at the zoo, for it is-if we are
correctly informed-the first animal of
the kind which has been exhibited
there. Its home is where the termites,
or white ants are found, for the animal
feeds on these destructive creatures and
possesses claws which are designed to
break down their strongholds. The
claws are also necessary for burrowipg
in the ground, for the pangolin exca-
Yates a cave for himself and his mate
eight feet or 80 below the surface of the
earth, and in this strange home one or
two young are produced every year. The
pangolin at present at the zoo lie fed up
on auts and their eggs. and also exhibits
partiality for cockroaches scalded in
milk. The scales with which its body 10
covered are hard aud sharp as steel, aud
itcan give TERRIBLY cutting blow with
it's powerful tail. 1t can roll it's body up
into ball like a hedge hog when It so
wills.-Pubic Opinion.
