Streaks in the Bread,

Marinette. Wis, April 21.-The village
of Crivitz. twenty-five miles west of

covery Of an attempt to poison Polish
family by the name of Tadish. The facts
are substantially as follows: The hus-
band, Tadish, recently purchased sack
of rye flour. Mrs. Tadish converted the
flour into bread, but, fortunately, no.
ticed when a loaf was cut that there
were green streaks running through it.
She took a sample to DIR. F. p. Doher-
ty, the health officer. who very soon dis
covered the presence of paris green in
quantities sufficient to have made GER
tain the death of the entire family of
father. mother and five children. The
physician will make thorough investi-
cation of the matter. The man of
whom the flour was purchased and
Tadish, whose family so narrowly es-
capped being poisoned by the same, had
recently had some trouble.

the Next House.

Des Moines, Iowa, April Gloon
gresham Hull stated this morning
the Iowa delegation has not made up
its mind who to support for the speak
ership of the next house at Washing
ton, that it was barely possible at
the present time, there being three
candidates: Henderson, Hepburn and
Lacey. When the time came for ac-
ton the country would find Iowa lined
up for one man. He understood that
Hopkins, of Illinois. would be a can
didate for the position and that he
would have the delegation of that state
almost solid for him. He regarded
Hopkins chances very bright. Il be-
lieve," he said, that the west is en-
titled to the speakership of the next
congress. There never has been n
speaker who lived west of Ohio and
the time is Opportune for the election
of an active, able western man."
