manship and He Sends Bullet
Into Her Brain.

Portage, Wis, June 90. = Edward
Scherbarth, a German farmer residing
just outside the city, shot and killed
his wife Sunday afternoon with 32-
caliber revolver. The ball entered the
left eye and penetrated the brain. The
man and woman were alone and but
little information can be obtained con-
corning the circumstances. Scher-
barth was under the influence of liquor
and said to persons who arrived on the
scene soon after the shooting that he
had been indulging in n little target
practice with his revolver when his
wife came out of the house and banded
him about his poor craftsmanship, say
ing, among other things, that he could
not hit the broad side of barn. 1t en-
ragged him and he pointed the revolver
at the woman and fired.

Two Men Lose Their Lives While
Searching for sunken Steamers
Cargo I'm Thunder bay.

| Alpena, Mich, June 20.-Word was re-
ceived here of the drowning of George
Campbell and Peter Olsen ut Thunder
Bay on Friday last while engaged at
work in a diving bell recovering the
cargo of the sunken steamer Pewabic,
which was lost about a year ago in 116
feet of water. Campbell was the foun-
der of the famous diving bell and a son
of Gardiner Campbell, founder of the
centennial bell!
The bell was sent down at 1880
o'clock Saturday morning with the two
men inside. Campbell telephoned to the
steamer that they were in the break in
the Pewabic's hull and asked for hooks.
could be heard moving about the bell.
Suddenly all sounds ceased. Capt.
Phelps, of the Root, then rang the tele-
phone bell, which proved that the cir
cult was perfect, but no other sounds
could be secured. An effort was made
to hoist the bell, but it had fouled in the
wreck and could not be moved. In the
efforts to raise the bell the derrick was
disabled. a heavy sea came up, but
repairs were made, and at five o'clock in
the afternoon the bell was cleared from
the wreck and partially hoisted, when
the derrick again gave out. The anchor
was slipped and the bell towed into the
bay, getting into smooth water about II
o'clock.N Once out of the sea the bell was
hoisted aboard the Root and was found
to be full of water. Both men were
drowned. Olson was sitting in his seat,
with his feet under levers, showing that
he had scarcely moved. The bell had
filed through one of the windows,
which was found broken. The auto

VIGOROUS ACTION.
Conference mt Washington Decides
That the War with spain
Shall he Pushed.

Washington, June 2O.-The original
plans of campaign for the conduct of
the war against Spain will be adhered
to and will be pushed with vigor and
energy. The decision was reached at
u war council held at the white house
Saturday. at which were present Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretaries Alger and
Long, Gen. Miles, Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn, Admiral Sicard and Capt.
Mahan. OF course there will be some
slight notifications made necessary by
the changes that have occurred since
the beginning of hostilities, but these
after all will not affect the general
plans of operations. Gen. Miles re-
turned from Florida with store of in
formation respecting the condition OF
the troops, difficulties to be expected
in the progress of the campaign, needs
in the matter of transportation and
terminal facilities that will be freely
availed of to correct the defects in the
present system that experience has de-
veloped.
The official declaration to the effect
that the campaign is to be pushed with
vigor does not necessarily mean an i'm
mediate attack upon Havana, although
such advice has been rendered. It does
mean that the very best efforts are to be
put forth to put the army in condition
where it can be used with overwhelm-
ing effect at any point or points at al
most a moments notice. To this end
the troops now in camp are to be thor
oughly trained and hardened, and when
they leave the United States their
equipment will be the best a soldier can
have, fit for any season, wet or dry, cold
or hot. With such an army at com
