PEORIA's COUNTRY CLUB.
An Ideal Suburban Resort For Fash
ionabls Folks.

Peoria, May 29.-The project of start
ing country club as an out of town re-
sort for the fashion and society of Pc
Oria which was started last fall and al
lowed to lie dormant during the winter,
has been revived and now seems sure of
success. A lease has been drawn up
for % acres of the beautiful tract known
as the Gibson farm on the bluff east of
the Prospect Heights hotel, taking in
the Gibson residence and barns and the
commanding views along the brow of
the bluff. The lease has not yet been
signed, but probably will be during the
week. Eight men have already been
secured to go on a guarantee fund to
assure the success of the enterprise, no
matter what the others formerly inter
ested in the plan may do, and when ten
have been secured the work will be be-
gun. There will be no difficulty in Sc
curing the names, but one or two of
those interested have been out of the
city.
The Gibson residence as it now stands
viii be used as the main portion of the
club house, but billiard rooms and
bowling alleys will be constructed and
wide piazzas will be added. Additional
stable room will also be provided to ac-
cOmmodate the scores of teams which
will assuredly be there on pleasant
evenings. Tennis courts will be con-
Structed and every arrangement made
for an ideal suburban resort.

AN EXTRACTED TOOTH
Almost Caused the Death of Gotham
Man by Bleeding.

New York, May 29.-In the absence
of his mother, Hermann Warrendorf
who keeps a floral establishment in
East Fourteenth street, near Fourth
avenue, lay all Wednesday night in
bed in the Hungarian hotel in Irving
place, bleeding profusely from the
mouth. He had a lower molar ex-
tracted on the Sunday previous. War
rendOrf experienced no unusual sensa-
tion until three days had elapsed. His
mother. who lives with him at the ho-
tel, was absent in Albany.
Not long after the young man had re-
tired he was awakened by a feeling of
strangulation, and he spit up a great
quantity of blood. Thinking to admin
lister successfully to himself, he rinsed
his mouth and forced cotton into the
cavity where the tooth had been. He
retired again, but woke up repeatedly
He became so faint at length that he
could scarcely get out of bed to ring
for assistance.

jaw. This stopped the flow for a short
time and the patient was once more
induced to go to bed. The physician had
been gone but a few minutes when the
flow of blood began again. Warrendorf

until his mother arrived at Z o'clock in
the morning.
She was greatly alarmed and went to
several physicians. Each told her to

MARK HANNA'S SHOCK.
An Old Gentleman Who Only Wanted
Garden Seeds.

Washington, May 29.-Mr. Hanna has
received a shock from which 1t Will
occupies the headquarters of the Re
publican national committee, in the
Glover building, and there receives the
multitude of office seekers who come to
solicit his Endorsement. Many of them
are not content with an interview there,
but they stand around the corridors of
the Arlington hotel, where he lives.
For several days Mr.. Hanna was pur-
sued a the senate chamber, at the no.
tel and on the streets by a harmless
looking old gentleman, who would wait
for hours at a time for chance to
speak to him; but Mr.. Hanna was
suspicious, and usually managed to
elude him. When the old gentleman
did get the advantage he stood him
talk to you here. You must come to
my office at the Glover building and
then I will be glad to hear what you
have to say"
But the old man pleaded for ''just one
moments conversation he had Just
one little request to make" Mr.. Hanna
is familiar with little requests and
with people who want Just q moment s
conversation" and has learned to dodge
them. But he finally succeeded in per
Suading the old gentleman to go to the
Glover building and take his turn with
the rest. After waiting couple of
hours the patient applicant was admit
ted to Mr.. Hanna's private room, and

daughter, who lives out in Ohio. The
paper which he had been so long trying
to persuade Mr.. Hanna to read was
simply memorandum containing her
address and list of the seeds that she
would prefer.
The senator grasped the old gentle
man by both hands and exclaimed:
My dear sir. is that all you want?
Can't 1 do something more for you? 4?
Don't you want to be district attorney
or marshal somewhere in the south? :?
You are not going to run off and leave
me this way. I have had people up
here ever since the 4th of March asking
for foreign missions and cabinet port

and every other Office you can conceive
of, but you are the first man to ask for
garden seeds, and I will give you an or

Fell to The Floor.
HIS LEGS SUDDENLY GAVE OUT.
Thomas P BIgg, of Cleveland, Stricken as He was Pre-
pairing for a Visit to Friends.


Of the list of the many so-called incura-
bic disorders none has proved to be more OF
an enigma to the most learned and accom-
plished physicians than locomotor ataxia, or
as it is more commonly known, creeping
paralysis. This dread disease has baff1ed
their skill, and they have been forced to
admit that they cannot successfully cope
with it. All they have been able to do is
to mitigate the accompanying pain and suf-
fering; beyond this the science of medicine
has been of little or no avail to the many
unfortUnates who have contracted the dread
ful malady, which, many people, especially
those who are thus afflicted, believe is a fore
runner of the grim messenger of death.
Thomas p Bigg, who lives at No. 1913
St. Clair Street, corner of Lawrence St.
Cleveland o., has been suffering from loco
motor ataxia for nearly five years. and
nothing but his wonderful vitality has pre-
vented his dissolution long before this.
The malady is directly attributable to his
exposure during army life. He enlisted in
the Third Regiment Ohio Cavalry in Toledo
and served nineteen months in the volun-
teer service, and after the close of the rebel
lion, eighteen months in the regular army
" At first" he said in narrating his expert
ence, my stomach went back on me, and for
six weeks I was laid up in a hospital in
Texas. Ever since that time that organ has
caused me trouble. and about seven years ago
the doctor told me l was suffering from acute
indigestion. That was bad enough but four
years ago last July paralysis came on, and
have been using these crutches ever since.
The paralysis was in my legs, and it came
rather suddenly. l noticed at first that my
knees were little stiff, sort of rheumatic
pain, Syou know. This quickly developed
into paralysis"

physicians, but did not improve. All this

Denver, May 29.-Pat Donan, the old

all over the west from Alaska to Val

regions of British Columbia and is

astic over the new discoveries in that
country and down along the line
gan Mr.. Donan has been in every

says that he never saw anything to

in the west during the past thirty
years bears any comparison to that

TO GET CONVENTIONS. :
Chicago Citizens to Meet and Organ
iza a League

Chicago, May 29.-Steps are being
taken to form an association to main
tam Chlcago's prestige as the conven-
ton city of the United States Yester-
day Ferdinand w. Peck, PIE Stude-
baker and Willis Rice met in the office
OF Mr.. Peck and in a tentative way
started the project which may result
in the establishment of a permanent
league of some character for drawing
conventions to Chicago.
Among Chicago business and hotel
men the opinion is prevalent that the
town has lost, through negligence and
inattentiOn, many conventions which
it should have had and which could
probably have been brought here by
little systematic and we'll directed eff
fort. Very few conventions and ma
tiOnal meets have been coming to Chi
cago for many months, and the great
change from the time when conventions
were constantly assembling in the city
has been noticeable.
These are the opinions of some Chi
cagO citizens regarding the matter:
Ferdinand Peck-There is no doubt
that Chicago should have had a num-
Der of national conventions of various
lines of business men and manufactur-
ers, which have gone elsewhere From
its location, climate, hotel accOmmOda-
tiOns and various other characteristics
Chicago is by all means the convention
city of the country, and those cOnven-
tions which have gone elsewhere hev1
probably in many cases done so be-
cause Chicago put forth no claim and
made no effort to secure them. There
must be a change in this matter and
we must bring to Chicago more of the
conventions which naturally belong to
it. Several other business men and my
self have just had the matter under
consideration and think 1 may safely
say that in very short time we shall
have established not far from the Au-
ditorium a permanent office for the
handling of matters of this kind.
William S. Eden proprietor Great
Northern hoteD-Chicago has certainly
been most Iethargic in the matter Of
conventions. The neglect for many
reasons has been almost shameful. 1
am afraid the general spirit has been
that the town felt itself so large and
great that it did not need to look after
anything of that kind, feeling that
conventions would have to come here
The people who felt that way about
the matter are now beginning to see
their big mistake, for conventions have
been going elsewhere. and going pretty
fast, too, I can tell you. 1 am glad
to see. however, that there is going to
be a radical change, and that we are
all going to get out and do the work
necessary to secure desirable conVen-
tiOnS in the city.

HYPNOTIST IN COURT.
He Once was Major in the Salvation
Army.

New York, May 29.-Edward Lincoln,
a hypnotist, formerly a major in the
Salvation Army, was held in $1,000 bail
today on a charge of abusing his pow
er over Ida Adams, Is years old, the
stepdaughter of a woman in whose
house Lincoln lived.
At the hearing, Ida. demure in lilac
gown and blue and red jacket, her
brown hair in a long braid tied with
a bow of red ribbon, testified with pa
thetfc ingenuousness. The eyes of
Lincoln, the fire IN which had captivat-
ed her so strangely that her father and
stepmother were terrified, never met
Ida's.
Lfnco1n's eyes are blue and brilliant
and Ida's shoulders shivered under
their stare, but she could not see them
and her relation was clear, simple and
modest.
Lincoln said that it was not true,
and intimated that it was the result Of
a plot of Ida's stepmother against him,
which he could not prove.
He is 80 years old.

BOTH TRIALS SET ASIDE.
The Trials Of Alfred Freel and Josie x ems
Ter Set Aside-Jud Arrested.
NEW TRIALS GRANTED BOTH

The Mountain Home Bulletin o,
May 18th has the following:
Yesterday morning Mr. Borrower and
MIR. Wolf, counsel for Alfred Freel, quietI,
walked into the courtroom and filed
paper with Clerk Reynolds.
Nobody paid any particular attention
at first, but pretty soon there was a mani
fest agitation going on between the Judge,
the District Attorney and the lawyers tol
Freel.
On inquiry it was learned that the paper
| filed WAS a motion in arrest of judgment
| in the Freel case. 1t stated that the court
had no Jurisdiction and that the indict.
ment was defective because it did not
allege that the murder was committed in
Gilmore county OF even in the State OF
Idaho.
A hurried consultation was held. The
lawyers all saw that the point was detrI-
mental to the prosecution. There was
only one thing left to do-to try the case
over again.
Then Judge Waters, counsel for Mrs.
Kensler, flied similar motion and her
case will also have to be tried over again.
We are informed that the two criminals
have offered to plead guilty Of murder in
the second degree. This would doubtless
send them to the penitentiary for life. 1t
would at once stop ell expense to the
county. The general impression is that
they are equally gullty-not that one Is
worse than the other, but whatever one
gels both should get.
AT 2 O'Clock this afternoon, when the
prisoners were brought in for sentence
and upon being asked if they had any.
thing to offer why sentence should not be
pronounced, Mr.. Vote, in their behalf,
objected on the grounds stated above and
asked tor new trials upon the motion fled
yesterday. Judge Stockslager granted
the motion and ordered the District At
torney to tie new indictments against the
murderers.
Trial Of the case will begin on
Tuesday next, the 18th.
A private letter from Mountain
Home in relation to the foregoing
matter states that the defense Of
fered to plead guilty to any offense
lower than murder IN the first degree
but the offer was rejected by the
prosecution. This offer was made
in anticipation of the decision on
the motion and before the order
was issued for the special venire.
The letter also states that the same
motion was made in the case against
Mrs. Kensler.
