 He was a man of strong cOnstitu- ton, but received a wound which in duced quick consumption. The wound was received in an expedition in which he volunteered. A small party of Cuban soldiers had been raising havoc near Buena Vista, where he was sta toned A detachment was ordered to put down the disturbance, but one of the men assigned was sick and Piper offered to take his place. The detachment came across the riotous Cubans and after a hot hand to hand skirmish routed them. In the fight Piper received a wound over the lungs with the butt end of a gun

 SAVED S2, 2,S0O.-.People something's think they see a thing when they do. not. Among the claims lately allowed
 hx-f nf lA
 by c. H. Holmes, court reporter. The amount was S291. It was mentioned
 that this was one Of the claims for May and it was straightway supposed tat that sum was his average month ly salary Multiplying these figures by twelve (the number of months in the year) it was readily calculated that MT Holmes would draw annual compensation from the county to the amount of S3,492. MT Holmes is no doubt sorry the calculator is not cor rect. That $291 is his pay for official services since January 1 of the pres ent year, five months, includAg the April term sc far as it has gone. He will not earn CT draw another cent during the April term unless Henry Wilson should be given a new trial. But leaving out this contingency there is no possibility of the county being called upon to pay the court stenog- rapher Q cent before he earns it in the October term. What he will earn then is a matter of conjecture, but it is hardly likely that it will exceed his bill for the April term, the criminal docket of which was longer than the average. MT Holmes will be lucky if he can draw $500 from the county fer the ysar 1899. By this calculation The | saves to the county little | more than $2,SO0 and doesn't charge | 3 cent for it.

Ends Her Life Because Filipinos Kill
Her Sweetheart.

Wichita, Kan, April 4.-The Fill
pino bullet which laid Alva Dix, a
private in the Goth Kansas, low on the
battlefield of Malolos last Thursday
was messenger of death to Miss Mary
Wilson, the young woman to whom he
was engaged. Miss Wilson graduated
recently from Vassar while her sweet
heart was on his way to the Philip
pines. A few days ago she read that
her lover had received creditable men
ton from Col. Funston for bravery
displayed in battle, and the news
brought her such joy that she could
not resist telling it to all her friends
Sunday Miss Wilson saw her lovers
name in the list of the killed during
the fighting before Malolos-. She re-
tired to her room, wrote a note to
her father and mother, telling them
that she did not care to live any longer
since Alva was dead, took morphine
and ended her life. The young people
were to have been married IN June.

Chicago, April AIRS Edna Harris

are being cared for at the Harrison
street police station annex, and state
that they are on their way to Chippe-

daughter arrived in Chicago Saturday
from Hammond, Ind, penniless and
without friends Several weeks ago
the mother of Mrs. Harris died in
Washington, O., and the residents of
Chippewa Falls collected enough
money to pay the transportation of
herself and daughter to Ohio. She was
obliged to spend the return fare to de-
fray the expenses of her mothers fu-
neral, and after the burial she and her
daughter began walking back to Chip
pewa Falls. In some towns the resi-
dents paid their fare to another county
and in this way they made their way
to Chicago.
