Henry Wilmbusse, who lives
four miles southeast of town was
taken into custody on last Thurs
day charged with insanity. He
has been acting queer for some
time, but was not thought danger
GUS until last Thursday morning
when he arrived in town and de-
manded the arrest of DR.. Wenz,
whom he claimed was annoying
him with hypnotic talk. AS he
had previously accused several Of
his neighbors of the same offense,
he was taken into custody by Sher-
if Bradbury. AT his examination
which followed, in which he was
adjudged insane, he seemed to lose
control of himself entirely. An at
tendant from Blackfoot arrived last
evening and started for the asylum
Will MIN tIllS morning,
An examination of Wlmbusse's
residence revealed the cause of his
affection. A diploma from Prof
l.. A. Hardin's college of hypnot-
ism was found which proclaimed
Wilmbusse a graduate of that in
stitution. A package of business
cards bearing the name of "Henry
Wilmbusse, professional hypnotist;
cures all diseases without medi-
cine" was found.
Wilmbusse has been resident
of this county for the past fifteen
years, anu has accumulated con-
siderable property. He has lived
alone most of the time and has no
intimate friends. 1t is thought
that by careful trertment he will
soon recover,

the farmer invariably obtains the
highest price for his wheat. That
the prices paid by the buyers or ship
pers are always stimulated by those
of the local mills no one will attempt
to deny. Then should not the peo-

THE Caldwell Tribune would have
it's readers believe that the repub-
lican party is opposed to trusts
and points to the Sherman anti
trust law, a republican measure,
to substantiate this claim. AS
trusts which destroy competition
and arbitrarily raise prices have
multiplied galore since the enact
mcnt of the Sherman bill and are
now hourishing, the act is made
quate to suppress them or it is not
properly enforced. If it is made
quate the republican party, having
done noting more than make a
pretense of opposing and suppress
sing the trusts, does not merit con
gratulations; and il it is adequate
the administration is negligent or
criminal in failing to enforce it and
should be condemned instead of
endorsed. The Republican anti
trust act is a device intended to
make show of doing a thing
without doing it. or the admins
tration deserves execration instead
of com mcndation,

Louis Balkow was released
from the county jail last Saturday
having served fifty day term for
wife beating. The day before his
release his wife brought action for
divorce and secured an injunction
preventing him from selling or dis
posing of the community property.
On his release he at once sought
out his wife, begged forgivness
and promised good behavior for
the future. The tender hearted
wife could not withstand the elo-
quent pleadings of the husband
and father, who, amidst copious
tears and sobs, declared that he
could not live without his beloved
wife and his darling children. She
fully and freely forgave him and
the reunited family proceeded to
their home south of town, where
we hope they will evermore reside
in peace, harmony and love.

On last Tuesday the railroad
companies removed most of the
aliens employed on their lines in
this county. The Japanese EN-
ploycd on the Northern Pacific
as section hands were transferred
to the Washington Central This
action of the railroads is due to
the vigorous stand taken by the
officials of this county to compel
the railroad companies to comply
with the provisions of the anti
alien laws Of this state. On June
end, at the instigation of County
Attorney Goode, Sheriff Bradbury
sent official notification to the off
Gals of all railroads traversing the
county, informing them Of their
infringement of the antialiien law,
and notifying them that unless
their companies discharged their
employees forthwith whose employ
mont is forbidden by law, arrests
and prosecution would follow.
The officials at once took up the
matter with the county attorney,
and after much correspondence
agreed to remove all aliens EN-
ployed by them if sufficient time
was given them to fill their places
with non aliens. August the first
was the date set for the transfer,
and the Northern Pacific very pru-
IDENTITY complied with their part OF
the agreement. 1t is stated on
good authority that the 0. RE- N.
and Great Northern have done
likewise. The prompt action OF
the companies as well as the Wig
orous stand taken by Attorney
Goode both are worthy of com
mendation.

True Patriotism.

As incorruptible in refus- ing to bow down and 4ftoady' to Ha- man as he was in the administration of the kings revenues; as devoted to his own people in his prosperity as in his diversity. as careful not to allow his promotion to alienate him from his own nation as he was prompt and em- phatic in eautioning Esther not to do so, if she desired Gods favor.- Rev.

HORRIBLE!
 -- MRS. F. O'SULLIVAN GRE MATED AT HER HOME
 SUNDAY.
FOUND A CHARRED MASS.
Has Been an Invalid For Several Years Mr. O'Sulliuan at the
 Point of Death.

One of the most horrible holo. causts ever happening in thls State, occurred in Pine Bluff Sunday af- ternoon about one o'clock. Mrs. F. O'Suilivan IS the victim of. the terri. ble affair.
 MT. O'Sullivan has been very i'll for several months past, being troubled with a severe attack of Bright's disease. He has some one by bis bedside at all times and when one of the home folks would leave the bed he would call some one else to him.
 Sunday his nephew, Mr. Dan Nc I've, who resides at the O'Sulliyan home, which is situated at the cor her of Sixth avenue and Pine street, remained with MT. O'Sullivan while Mrs. O'Sullivan pa.took of her din- ner in the dining room which is in the rear of the building. He was soon. relieved by Mrs. O'Sullivan and went into the same apartment to enjoy his meal. He was seated only few moments when suddenly penetrating and agonizing scream rang through the house. He jump ed from his chair and ran to the window, thinking the noise came from the outside He then hurried into the front hall where be met Mr. OSullivan crawling on his hands aud knees toward him. Mr, O'Sul- liyan told him his wife lad jumped into the fire. MT McTye without asking anything further rushed into the room and pulled the burning form from the fireplace. The form was only a charred mass. Doctors were summoned but death had re- suited instantly and their aid prov ed fruitless. She was about 55 years of age.
 Mrs. O'Sulliyan aas been in de- mented condition for the past sey- eral years, the result of thes death of a daughter. It is thought by some that she fell asleep and fell in toi ithe flames.
 MrsO'Sullivan is in precarious condition and is not expected to live twenty hours longer.
 The affair is D most neartrending one and the bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of the com munity.

 A liberal reward is awaiting their captor.
 Both oe tie negroes acknowledge their identity and say they are only too glad to be back in custody and out of the cold.
 The authorities at Ft. Smith have been notified of the apprehension of the men and will send after them at an early day

TWO PRIS0NE RS DIE
In the County Jail With the Past
 48 Hours.

Two prisoners, who have been con- fined in the Jefferson county jail for the, past several months have died within the past forty-eigbt hours.
 Both were of unsound mind and had been sick for the past several days. The county physician, Dr. Noel, has been attending them dur ing their illness.
 They were Francls Burley, ne gress, of about forty years of age, and Pinkey Aiken, s Legro Of about thirtv-fye.
 The former was committed to the Jail last September, while Aiken was incarcerated Tn December of the same year. Bo h were raving man. iacs when first placed in jail and were so up to the time of their death.
 It was rumored upon our streets Sunday that the woman froze to death from neglect. All such re- ports are untrue, for when she took sick, 8 stove was placed in her cell and a fire was kept burning day and night during the present cold snap as her cell was more exposed than the rest of the jail. The structure IS kept warm and comfortable at all times an, the prisoners will vouch for that.

Which, being freely interpreted, means q am the best thing in the world: push me along,' or, literally, Cheaper than I-nobody."
