The Most Marvellous Wood Carvers


Frank Wright, an old resident Of
Pitman, n. j., is a gentleman of many
occupations. He is a walking encylU-
pedia in Biblical knowledge, once a sea-
taring man, anchored in many a COM
modious harbor, miraculously escaped
the jaws of Il monster inhabitant of the
sea, a scientific agrlcllturist, an expert
bicycle rider, a fluent conversationalist,
an expert accountant, skillfully trained
In the Use OF saw and Ratchet, a board
ing house proprietor, %janitor of a church
and some more too tedious to mention.
A few days ago he saw a vision, and
the vision has made its impression on
his mind to the extent that he believes
a new occupation has fallen in his way,
that Of wood carving. He has OF ex-
hihiiiUn at his home a specimen OF
wOl kmanship that is simply wonderful.
1t represents Il flower stand of very odd
design. 1t is ornamented by numerous
carved heads of animals, Showing how
thoroughly Mr.. Wright has studied II
few of the big Us, zoology, geography,
economy, zootomy. The specimen of
wood carving, reminds you Of a portion
of some of the fer0cious members of the
Philadelphia geological family at Fair
mount Park.
Mr.. Wright is unable to explain how
this idea of wood carving originated in
his mind, but awaits even further dew
elopment of the coming talent that
slumbers in his bones still. When we
think of the carving talent with which
Mr.. Wright claims to be suddenly en-
lowed, we feel like turning to the BIZ
BILE record and read about Hiram, Solo
mans skilled wood carver, who carved
SO many beautiful ornaments for Solo.

NovAk MUST STAY IN PRISON.

Will Have toServe Life Sentence for KILL
ing Edward Murray.
Dies MONIES. May PA decision in
the famous Novak murder case was
made by the supreme court yesterday.
According to majority opinion of the
court. written by Judge Granger, Frank
A. Novak, confined in the Anamosa
penitentiary for the killing Of Edward
Murray, must serve out his life sem
tence. Judge Waterman and Judge
Ladd dissent from the majority opinion.
In brief, the story of the crime Of
Frank Novak is as follows: He was a
married man, of about 35 years, living
at Walford, Ia, where he was part
owner in general store. He carried
$4,000 in life insurance. mostly pay
able to his wife. On the afternoon Of
February % he was seen In company
with Edward Murray. some of the time
in saloon at Walford, and late in the
evening at Novak's store. That night
the store burned to the ground and in
the ruins was found what was supposed
to be the body of Novak himself, at
first, but later was alleged to be that of
Edward Murray. During the same
night Novak himself disappeared. He
was arrested at Dawson City, in the
British possessions, July IL. 1897, and
brought back to Iowa to answer the
burning of his store and the death OF
Edward Murray thereby.

BERLIN, June 2.-The reichstag, con-
trary to expectations, received the anti
strike bill yesterday. The provisions Of
the bill are now less stringent than the
emperor at first intended. The measure
provides that whoever threatens to
forcibly prevent persons from going to
work will be sentenced to a maximum
of a years imprisonment. Where there
are extenuating circumstances fine of
1000 marks will be imposed. The same
punishment will be meted out to those
who threaten boycott to compel en-
ployers or employees to yield to their de-
mands. or whoever threatens to NAL.
treat or otherwise molest nonstrikers.
The bill is not likely to pass in its pres.
ent shape.

lunch was given in his honor. Delirious
enthusiasm marked every step Of
Marchand's . progress. On either step Of
the carriage stood policeman. who
kept the explorers frantic admirers
from entering the vehicle.
The space In front of the military
club had been cleared by the police and
the explorer 3 arrival was the signal for
an outburst of cheering. There were
immense crowds in the neighboring
streets. the windows were filed with
spectators and the roofs were covered
with people. Major Marchand and
Captain Barratieri stepped onto the
balcony in response to cries. The DEM
onstrations continued to a late hour in
the evening, the crowds parading and
shouting the now familiar cries and
singing the "Marseillaise."
A royalist band carrying flag was
dispersed by the police and an attempt
to create demonstration in favor of
Deroulede was quickly drowned by
cheers for Marchand and the army.
A dramatic scene occurred at the
military club in the course Of the even
ing. Major Marchand, in response to
loud cheering, appeared upon the bal

Lockroy, and the minister Of war, M.
Krantz, on either side of him and

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 2-When the
afternoon session of the second days
meeting Of the Ohio Valley League Of

Auley's theater yesterday almost every
delegate was in his seat. There was
also marked increase in the attend

COLUMBUS, w., June S,-1 yesterday
was Daugherty day as much as
Wednesday was Nash day. The con-
ferences continue, however, and the
field may next turn on Daugherty.
There is as yet no winning slate and
there are those who believe that no
winning combination can be formed
until after the test of balloting. The
committee on rules and order Of bust
ness has limited all nominating
speeches to five minutes, with only one
seconding speech of one minute. in an
ticipation of the convention running
late into Friday night or being contin-
ued over to Saturday.
The committee on permanent organ
ization decided to report in favor Of
making the temporary organization
permanent. This will also save time.
AS the temporary organization was Sc
lected by the old state central commit
tee and was known as favorable to
Daugherty, this action was claimed as
one Of series of Daugherty victories of
the day, but it is believed that this
action was due to the fact that Mr..
Kerr not only made a captivating
speech. but also an excellent presiding
officer. While the forces of Cox, Daugh-
erty and Kurtz combined against Nash,
as the Hanna candidate. in all the pre-
iminary work, yet this combine cannot
apparently get together on any one man
for governor. Cox wants dark horse,
and is grooming Shattuo till he names
his favorite. Foraker wants Jones.
Kurtz does not want Jones or Daugher-
ty il he can get some one he likes better.
Meantime, Daugherty insists that he
has more votes than Jones, Cox and
Kurtz command; that they should come
to him il they want to defeat Nash, and
thereby indirectly defeat Hanna.
Daugherty is not only leader in the
prospective balloting but he also has the
best organization of any Of the candi-
dates. Ex.Chairpan Huling, who
opened the convention, and Chairman
Kerr. who pfesided. are both for Daugh-
erty. y.sSnd all Of those at the state head
quarters are actively in the convention
for him. He has workers all about
him here. Senator Hanna and Judge
Nash, as we'll as many others, have
been surprised at his organization.
