THE LUETGERT CASE.
Opening of the Trial For Wife Murder
of the Rich Sausage Maker.

of the Rich Sausage Maker.
Chicago, Aug. 24-Adolph L. Lieut..
CERT, the rich sausage manufacturer
has been put on trial in the criminal
court before Judge Tuthill, charged
with the murder of his wife.
The crime for which Luetgert is be-
ing tried is alleged to have been COM
mitted on the night of May l in the
basement of his sausage factory in
Diversey street. The theory of the state
Is that Luetgert induced his wife to ac-
company him to his sleeping apart
ment in the factory office and there
stranged her. Then he is thought to
have taken the body to the basement
and placed ii in vat filed with a So
luton of caustic potash heated to the
boiling point What remained of the
body after this process is supposed to
have been thrown into a furnace.
The motive of the alleged crime Is be-
lieved to be found in Luetgerts servant,
Mary Simmering, with whom the pris-
oner Is said to have been on very friend
ly terms.
The case will undoubtedly be one OF
the most famous in the history of GRIM
inal Jurisprudence. To a great extent
1t will be a battle of experts. Upon
what they are able to establish beyond
a successful controversion depends the
fate of the states case against Luet-
CERT. If he is convicted. 1t will be upor
the testimony of expert chemists.

COLD REGION FACTS.
Some Interesting Statements on
the Alaska Fields.
GROWTH OF THE GOLDEN CITIES.
The Importance of Introducing Reindeer
Into the Territory, and the Forma-
tion of an Express of That Kind
Connecting the Different Towns,

Washington, Aug. 24.-Some interest
ing statements relating to the gold re-
glon in Alaska and the reindeer expert
ment there are brought out in the an
nual statement of United States Com
missioner Harris, just submitted. 1t
describes in detail the progress of the
mining, the growth of Circle City, Daw-
son and the Klondike district, the two
principal routes via st. Michaels and
via Chilkat pass. Touching the impor-
tance of extending the introduction of
reindeer into that territory, the report
gays the reindeer stations ought to be
able to furnish 500 reindeer trained to
the harness at once for the use of the
miners on the upper Yukon river.
''It was my purpose" the commits
sioner goes on, 'to detail three of the
skilled herdsmen and 80 trained rein
deer to the Yukon region the present
summer. If this arrangement is car
ried out as instructed an important ex-
pertinent will be in progress during the
coming year at the gold mines. The
plan Of the bureau has been to arrange
q reindeer express connecting towns in
q line from Bering strait to Kodiak is
land. Superintendent of Reindeer Sta
tions Kjellli'an last September proved
the practicability Of this by making a
trial trip on this route. Two of his
party were able to take the steamer
at Katmai, sailing to Sitka, in March.
This arrangement, when completed,
will make it possible for business COM
panies in San Francisco and other cities
to hold communication with their whal-
ing fleets during the winter north of

Schools In Alaska.
There have been maintained in Alas
ika 20 day schools under the super
vision of the interior department, with
% teachers and an enrolment of 1857
pupils. A public school was opened at
Circle City in the Yukon mining dis
trict, but the departments agent, writ
ing from st. Michaels, says he is afraid
he will be forced to discontinue it be-
cause of the exodus of the city's popu-
lation into the region nearer the re-
Gently discovered mines.
The influx of miners from the Yukon
has caused a demand for reindeer for

ing a new food supply for the famish-
ing Eskimo Of the Bering sea and the
Arctic ocean region, but it is now found
that the reindeer are as essential to
white men as to the Eskimo.
The wonderful@Y placer mines are
situated 25 to 100 miles from the greater
stream. Provisions brought from the
south and landed on the banks of the
river are with great difficulty trans
ported to the mines on the tributary
streams.
Last winter mongrel dogs for trans
portation purposes cost from 800 to 5000
each, and freight charges from the river
to the mountains range from Is to 20
cents per pound. The trained reindeer
make in a day two or three times the
distance covered by dog teams and have
the advantage that they can use the
abundant moss as food.

The Wheeling local steamboat In
spectora have been informed OF ruiz
ing made by-supervislng Inspector Du-
mont. which will make It impossible for
river steamers 20 continue to have those
useful officers, mates, whose principal
business has been to infuse life into the
lowly roustabout
II seems that according to the regu-
latlons OF the treasury department
having control OF the enforcement of
the navigation iaws-the regulations
applying to the granting OF certificates
to the steamboat mates on the rivers
are the same that apply to seagolng
vessels This Is obviously without JUS
HReatlon. as the steamboat mate Is not
required to do anything that comes
within the duties OF a seagoing mate.
The latter, OF course has to have a
knowledge OF navigation and be able to
navigate the vessel In case OF the cap
tain being disabled.
Inspector Dpmont has Just ruled that
these regulations shall apply to steam
boat mates, and the ruling has caused
q B4Sat Stta ia AiNSA SAlS'SS' - -
probable that any steamboat mate
now in the service could pass the ex-
animation required OF mates for steam
ships. and unless the law Is changed.
the result viii be that no steamboat
can carry mates In It's crew-or II they
do, they win not be duly qualified.
A movement Is now on foot among
steamboatmen to have Congress 10
change the law this winter, and 1t is
thought the EFFORT will prove successful.
Heretofore this law has not been en-
forced OF the river.
Inspector Dumont has also issued a
bulletin giving instructions TO inspec-
tors to issue all river licenses for the
term Of five Years instead of one year
as has always been done. This change
has been received with favor among
the river people.

THE RAILROADS,

Among the subjects listed under the

lied excursion of the Wheeling & Lake

gan excursion by an agreement with
ali lines in interest, It may be proper
to ask who the complainant Is. 1t is
generally thought that On Investigation
of this matter will help bring out some
facts which at present places the Cen

cloud.
As mentioned In the Toledo Blade at
the time, the Wheeling & Lake Erie
made application for the authorization
OF the excursion In the regular manner

ger committee time to act 1t waited
until the last minute in order to adj

receiving any decisive Information
from the Central Passenger commit
tee, the Wheeling proceeded without
authority, After the Wheeling had an
nounced the excursion and thoroughly
ADVERTISED ID, It received official NOTES
from the committee that the excursion
would not be authorized.
