yesterday when she made fast to the

will probably not be forgotten by those
aboard the steamer for long time. The

The day the steamer left Hong Kong,

PLAN GREAT UNIVERSITY.
Denver Hopes to Establish the Insti-
tuition.

New York, Sept. A letter to The Post
from Denver says: Henry j. Mayhem and
ex-Judge Benedict have left this city for
New York, where they are to "see" some
body in the east who is ready to provide
the money which will establish in Colo
RADIO the greatest and grandest'' univer-
Sty in the world.
The reports of the commission all as
sociate themselves with Westminster
university, which is an educational in
stitution in a suburb of this city, not yet
opened. but having as fine a college build
ing as be found in the west. A build
ing for it costing s250,O0O. largely furnish
ed by Presbyterians, was erected for it
before the panic of 1898; but it was never
opened. Now the project has taken life
again. The Presbyterians of New York
said to be backing the enterprise. At
any rate, the trustees have enough money
promised to enable them to engage a
president at salary of $4,000 year. The
president is Rev. J. Ritchey Smith, a
Presbyterian minister at Poughkeepsie,
and a. graduate of Princeton university.
1t is intended to open the institution in
the fall of 1898. The trustees here say that
they have large sum in sight. and that

The best teaching talent is to be Sc
cured, and the history of Harvard and
Yale is to be closely studied, so that the
mistakes of these two institutions may
be avoided.

CHICAGO BUTTERINE FIGHT
Six Grocers Arrested for Alleged Vio-
lations of the Law.

Chicago, Sept. 4-Six Chicago grocers
were arrested yesterday afternoon charg-
ed with having violated the butterine
law by selling the product in a form col
ored to appear like butter. The prose-
cutions were brought by the State Dairy
mems association, the information being
laid before Justice Price of Austin on
Monday afternoon.
The accused each furnished $500 bond
for appearance at the hearing, which is
set for next Tuesday afternoon.
At the same time warrants were sworn
out before Judge La Mena of Austin,
charging a number of other dealers with
the same offense. Some of the largest
firms in the city are included in the list
The grocers are indignant over the pros
ecutions and say they will fight the mat
ter to the end on the ground that the but
terine law is unconstitutional. Several
months ago Braun e. Fits and two other
firms accepted indictments the same
charge in order to make a test case to
settle the constitutionality of the law.
These cases have not yet been tried and
the grocers insist no further prosecutions
should have been brought until they are
decided.
Many of the butterine dealers openly
accuse the butter merchants of South
Water street of having caused the prose
cution for the purpose of intimidating the
smaller grocers into not handling butter

HARVEST HANDS STRIKE.
Demand Two Dollars Per Day in
Eastern Washington.

Oakesdale, Sept. 4.-There is a strike
among harvest hands and it is quite likely
that wages will be higher than farmers
anticipated. There are eight or ten head
ers ready to start but cannot do so be-
cause of lack of men.
No less than 80 idle men are walking the
streets of Oakesdale, but none will go to
work for less than 81 per day, and farm
do not wish to pay that price. De-
mands of the men We're explained by one
of the strikers: Last year we worked
for $1-25 and $3.50 because crops were poor
and the price of grain low when the har-
vest began. Before last year we always
got from $3.50 to 81 per day. We cut
prices to accommodate farmers when
they had small crop and low price, and
now that they have large crops and high
est prices ever offered at this season they
should advance the price of labor. They
can better afford to pay double the price
we demand this year than they could pay
the prices paid last year.
The demand for men more than equals
the supply. The Spokane and Palouse
Valley railroad lacked more than $1,000
of using up it's appropriation for track
because men could not be found. There
is now work for 60 more men on the track
of that road.

WHITECAPS AT WORK.
Severely Whip a Faithless Michigan
Wife and Lover

Harrisville Mich, Sept. A band of
twenty masked men, divided into two de-
tachments. melted out terrible punish
ment late last night to farmer, Hiram
McKenna, and Mrs. Louise Haws, the
faithless wife of a neighboring carpenter.
Haws, in a fit of jealousy, shot McKenna
few days ago. but did not injure him.
The mob visited the home of Haws and
found the woman in her night dress. Two
men seized her by the arms and forced
her out doors, after striking her several
times. They then took her down the
road in her bare feet to a point about half
a mile from the house.
Another party, also masked, met Nc
him from his wagon, stripped him of his
clothes and whipped him numerically
They then marched the couple down the
road three miles to the station at West
Harrisville, using the whip on both the
entire distance. On the way the regula-
tors stopped long enough to cut Off Mrs.
Haws' long hair, and also committed
other indignities.
Arrived at West Harrisvil1e the guilty
couple, stripped, were securely tied to a
telegraph pole. When they deserted Nc
Kenna he managed to slip penknife out
of his vest pocket and conceal it in his
hand. After they left he cut the rope and
then freed the woman. Mrs. Haws says
she was struck with whips more than so
times. The woman is about 30 years old
and good looking. McKenna has disap-
peared.

CHERRIES SEIZED.
A Cincinnati Firm Has Extra Duties
of Over 100000 Assessed.

Cincinnati, Sept. 4.-Mihalovitch, Fletch-
&, Co, distillers. from whom 25 900 gall
Ions of imported red cherries were seized

Speaks of the Considerations Which
Impel Him to Run for Mayor.

New York, Sept. 4.-In accepting the
nomination for mayor of Greater New
Yo~~~ Mr.. Low said:
I'm my view the nomination has been
virtually made by the people. No pat
riot under such circumstances could
decline to stand, unless he were pre-
pared to discourage, even in local mat
tiers, all spontaneous movements by the
people outside the limitations of the
party.
There seems to be an Importance at
taching to the order of nomination at
this juncture on the part of those ap-
parently inclined to be controlled by
this expression of the popular desire
that personally 1 fail to fully under
Stand.''
Mr.. Low said he though his nominal
ton meant that the people are deeply
moved by the desire that when the
great city begins its new career, it
shall do so with a mandate from the
voters to the officials of the city that
the welfare of the city, not of any par
ty, is to be their first concern.
For that principle am known to

WORSE THAN CUBA.
Woman Locked in an Ohio Prison as
a Witness Goes Insane.


Cleveland, Sept. 4-The unfortunate
Agatha Willker is now insane a result
OF her cruel Imprisonment of forty-two
days in Jail where she was detained a
witness to alleged crimes of which she
was the victim. Several weeks ago it
was alleged that an assault had been per-
petrated on Miss Willker. The man, Will
lam c. Huller, who was charged with the
assault, was released on $500 bail shortly
after his arrest and has been walking the
streets free man since
Miss Willker, who can speak no word of
English, felt that she had been forever
disgraced before the world and decided to
return at once to her native country, Ger
many. The police heard of her inten-
tions and at once detained her as wit
ness. For over forty days she has been
confined in jail, though there is absolutely
nothing against her except that she is
wanted as witness
For over a month this poor girl has had
no companions except foul-mouthed wo-
men, degraded members of her own sex.
She has been compelled to associate with
thieves and the scum of her city. Her
food has been the coarse fare of the jail
All her wants have had to be supplied by
the deputies, for there is no nnatron at the
county jail She could not understand
why she was confined and treated if
she were a criminal. All day the tears
have fallen from her cheeks in streams
and her means sounded through the cor
ridors. The deputies, full of compassion
for the helpless girl have tried to make
her lot easier, but it was little they could
do. On Monday, Charles Renck of No. 43
Ward street, succeeded in effecting the
girls release. and he took her to his home.
After she had been with the Renck family
for few hours she developed peculiar
symptoms of weak mindedness. She
imagined she could hear her mothers
voice calling here and there. She wanted
to run away and was caught in the act
several times. On Tuesday she continued
to be peculiar and wanted to jump out of
the windows. She is now a raving man
lac and today was taken to the hospital.

CUPID AND DEATH.


tent to give her daughter the right advice
about how to keep herself well and strong
in rnaidenly way, she should seek the adj
vice of some physician of years of wide
experience, and of substantial reputation.
A young woman naturally does not like to
be subj ect of discussion, examination and
the horrible local treatment of a home doc
tor. Moreover, obseufe physicians make
the mistake of attributing her ills to indi-
gestion, or heart or liver trouble, when the
real cause is weakness or disease of the
delicate organs concerned in wifehood and
motherhood.
The embarrassing examinations and local
treatment upon which most doctors insist,
are nine times in ten entirely unnecessary.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts di-
rectly on a woman's special organism and
makes it strong and healthy, and competent
to bear the strain of wifehood and moth
erhood. 1t allays inflammation, soothes
pain, heals liberation and stops facilitating
drains. 1t banishes the sufferings of the
period of expectancy, and makes baby's
