Camp Alger. July 2.-The Twenty-seeond
Kansas is in trouble over its water supply.
Ever since its new well was bored and it
has been using the water from it there
has been constant illness in the regiment
which the surgeons have ascrfbed to the
well.
For a time all this water was boiled,
but this did not seem to reduce the plague.
Finally DR.. Stewart of the regiment sent
a sample to the war department to be
analysed A thorough examination was
made and the following telegram sent to
Colonel Girard:

JUDGE A FIGHTER.
Kansas City Justice Thrashes Man
Who Said He Lied.

Kansas City, Kas., July 2-Justice
Robert NJ. Bowling stopped trial
Thursday, descended from the bench
and soundly thrashed a litigant who
had the effrontery to question the
courts veracity. The victim of the
courts wrath was r. d. Wood, who
was the plaintiff in minor suit against
William Jennings.
The court had ruled in favor of Wood
upon representations made by Wood
that he owned certain property in liti-
cation. After the case had been set
tied Wood denied owning the property
and was promptly taken to task by the
court, who asked what he meant by
testifying to one thing and then making
an opposite statement after the case
was decided. Wood denied using the
language attributed to him. Finally
he gave the Judge the lie.
This court is adjourned for fifteen
minutes" shouted the justice. Then
he climbed down from the bench and
for five minutes one of the eVeneSt,
sharpest fights ever seen outside Of q
prize ring took place. His honor won,
but he lost his shirt and several patches
of skin from his face.
Wood went home in a carriage. At
ter the battle Justice Bowling remount-
ed the bench, opened court and graVely
announced:
1.-The integrity of this court has been
questioned, but the dignity of the JUS
tice has been preserved. I will state
right now that as long as 1 am on the
bench no one will ever be sent by me to
jail for contempt. Whoever questions

Blood.

New York, July 1.-The rooms of the
Republican club We're crowded last
night with visitors and members to
welcome the president of the club,
ChaUncey NJ. Depew, after his trip
abroad
There were 300 guests. Mr.. Depew
told of the recognition he received
abroad and how well the club was
known there. After referring to the
anxiety over there regarding the war,
he said:
THE EngIishman understands US
very well, but the F'renchman does not
know any more about US than does the
Chinaman. The victory of Dewey and
the heroism of Hobson have done more
to stem the tide of criticism against us
than could possibly be done by any
diplomat 1 know"
He said England held back Germany,
Russia, Italy and Austria. from inter
ference, and strongly advocated an
AnglO-American alliance.
There is a colonial possession de-
SIRE" he said. 1T is in the blood and
no power can stop it. Though we have
entered upon it in haste, we will uphold
it with the strong arm of the military
and navy. A people of the same intel
lect and blood are in hearty accord
with US in this crisis, for the civiliza-
ton and humanity of the world"

The stage has lost Madame Rlnea for

received in this city.

that her complaint was incurable.

Rhea was educated in a convent and
began her stage career in Paris "A years
ago. One day when she was Is years
old. she attended a reception at which
she met the great German actor, Fech-
ter, who told her that she looked Just
like Rachel. She was so ignorant of
stage lore then that she had never
heard of that celebrated actress. Fech-
ter asked her why she did not go upon
the stage. She replied that she had
never thought of doing so. When she
got home that night she found that she
could not get Fechter's remark opt Of
her head. The next morning the little
girl of the convent was thoroughly
stage struck A week later shet made

MINISTER 10 KLONDIKE.
Rev. n. C. Vrooman, Ex-Kansans Re-
signs at St Louis.

st. Louis, July Rev. H. G. yroo-
man. pastor of the Fountain PARK Con
gregational church, has offered has res
ignation- to- the board of deaeons, TO
take effect September /. At q. prayer
meeting Wednesday evening, Mr.. ' roo
man took this step, but his resls 1 u
was referred to the church directors TOT
further consideration.
This move upon the part of Mr.. Froo-
man did not come altogether as sur
prise; indeed, it has been expected TOT
months. While there has been no as
cord between the congregation ana ITS
leader. still there has never been tnat
sympathy which is necessary to perIeeC
harmony.
During the year 1895. Rev. Mr.. Vroo-
man, who was then living in Inc SUI
urbs of Boston as pastor of a Congress-
tional church, was invited to denver
several lectures in st. Louis. ne SO
favorably impressed the Fountain FaI X
church that a call was Immediately EA-
tended, and he commenced his career
with the church the following Decefh-
Der. Coming from the east, where very
liberal ideas are entertained by the
Congrega tionaI churches, Mr.. VrooTnan
was thoroughly impressed with a
ideas and principles which were looked
upon as radical by his congregation,
and often aroused their displeaSure
Mr.. Frooman soon became disap-
pointed with his charge. He saw that
In the congregation he could not reach
his ideal church, and hence his res1gna-
ton. In departing, he leaves with the
good wishes of all.
Although the resignation specifies the
time of separation as September l, 1t IS
more than probable that Mr.. Vrooman
will sever his connection within another
week or two. He has already sent his
wife and child to their former home
in Milton, Mass, and is making prepar-
alton to join the Klondil1e, Yukon and
Copper River company, of Chicago, 70
seek his fortunes in the frozen north.
Frank B. Vrooman, who is president OF
the company, has offered his brother
the position of leader in the expedition,
which is to leave about July Is.
Disappointed with his pastoral career,
Mr. Erooman has decided to take a
lengthy vacation, and lay up for himself
some of this worlds goods. After look
ing over the field, he came to the con-
clusion that there was no better chance
afforded for fortune than in the Klon-
dixie, where he will dig for gold until the
beginning of next year when he ex-
poets to return laden with gold. he
may not re-enter the ministry
AS no action has yet been taken upon
Mr. Vroomans resignation, the matter
of his successor has not been brought
up, and it is impossible to say now who
will be the next pastor.

ROBBED A CHURCH.
Ten Years in Prison For Stealing Com
munion SiIverware.

Cincinnati, July 2.-William Hord
alias Howell, claiming to live in Vevay,
Ind and who was arrested by the
local police department, was returned
to Newport KY, where he was wanted
on the charge of robbing st. PauIS
Protestant Episcopal church of two
altar chairs, upholstered in hair cloth,
and a solid silver communion service
Immediately upon being returned to
the Newport authorities Howells case
was laid before the grand jury, then
in session. A true bill of ''robbing a
church was at once returned against
him and he was promptly arraigned.
Howell entered a plea of guilty, but the
court instructed a young lawyer to
look after his case and to impress upon
the prisoner the grave OffenSe that he
was admitting to. Despite legal adj
vice the prisoner still entered his orig
inal plea In explanation he saIa that
he had done nothing which he thought
was wrong. Howell claims that he came
here last week from his home, hoping
to secure employment, as his wife and
two children were starving at home. He
crossed the river after his arrival from
Vevay and met a stranger at the New
port end of the Central bridge. The
stranger asked him if he wanted to
make some money, and when he admit
ted that the need of money was what
had brought him to this city the fellow
told Howell to wait for him few mo-
ments. He returned promptly with a
bundle which it was afterWard aScer-
tanned contained the silver communion
set Of st. Pauls. The fellow, so Howell
asserted, also brought the two altar
chairs. The silver he so4. to a shanty
bOatman for IS cents. He was sitting
on one of the chairs in front Of the
Spencer house when arrested by the
local policemen. This was HowelPs
story. The court evidently took little
stock in it for the prisoner was given
ten years in the penitentiary. He will
