THE mystery Of the assault upon
Miss Lennie Green at the corner
OF Eighteenth and Linden streets
on Monday evening is to-day
more a mystery than ever. The police
are completely at fault. The young
ladys memory is still uncertain owing
10 the seevre blow she received on. the
head, and there is nothing but theories
as 10 her assailant.
The police still hold 10 the Tilted
lover theory, and the members OF the
family are very indignant over this.
They are inclined to the robbery the
ory. Some suggest that the young lady
might have tainted and struck her
head on the sidewalk. but the charac-
ter of the wound disposed OF this posi-
bility. Everything points to an assault
by some mysterious person. but as 10
who that person is there is not the
slightest clew.
1T is ridiculous that any one should
say that there was any Tilted lover
about this attack" said Miss Green
this afternoon. I'm the first place
nothing has occurred that would make
such a thing possible. l know but few

was doing and was told that he had
come to attend me. That surprised
me. for did not know that I had been
hurt. j have had no feeling except a
headache from the blow"
The way in which Miss Green was
found by her brother Walter is most
important in considering the way in
which the assault might have been
made. When found she was leaning
against the stone coping that sur
rounds the vacant lot. This coping is
about three feet high-sufficiently high
TO have supported her were she TO
have leaned against IL. She was erect
at the time when found, and though
she spoke TO her brother and called
him by name she has no recollection
OF having seen him. Her recognition
of her brother under these circuni-
stances is the more remarkable from
the fact that Walter Green says that
II was so dark that he did not recog-
niZe his sister until she spoke 10 him.
The assault must have occurred
within a very few moments before she
was found, for Mrs. Green says that
her daughter was only three or four
minutes late in getting home.
There was a great tear found in the
front Of Miss Green's dress when she
got home. The police tried to explain
this tear by saying that the young
lady tainted, and that I'm trying to get
up she put her knee or foot on her
dress and tore II. This is not likely,
for the dress is torn from the outside.
while the lining on the inside is whole
This torn dress gives some evidence
of a struggle. but II any there was Il
followed the blow upon the head that
destroyed Miss Green's memory, for
she says that she is sure that there
was no assault before she lost con-
sciousness from the blow.
DR.. A. II. Pratt. who attended the
young lady. says that the blow was
delivered by some blunt instrument.
and not by knife or an ak. The hair
is not cut. but the scalp Is. and had
a sharp instrument been used the hair
would have been severed
The Green family bears the highest
reputation for honesty and integrity.
The father died some time ago. and
all the children who are old enough
work at the Pacific Press. This alone
is a guarantee OF their character. for
IL is a church institution whose mem
bers are all Adventists. and most strict
upon character and morals.

White Deer.

1 have heard Of not less than three
white deer being killed in Wisconsin
alone this fall. One was taken into
Ashland by f. c. Klady, II. Palmquist
and Eric Scheidcen, who shot it Nov
ember 10. Another was killed by Ole
Catfish, n Flambeau Indian, on Nov
cmbcr 10, on the Lac du Flambeau
reservation. 1t weighed 254 pounds
and had good antIers. 1t was bought
by the Indian agent and sent to Chic
ago for mounting. A third albino
deer was killed by A. Vine, son of the
school superintendent, on this same
Flambeau reservation. 1t weighed
22J pounds.' and also had good set
of antlers. This specimen had a few
small dark spots on the legs. but was
otherwise white. In the case OF Ole
Catfish, the Indian, it would appear
that he is forgetting a good many Of
the sacred traditions of his people,
one of which says that the Indian who
shoots n white deer is forever accursed
and followed by i'll fortune. Perhaps
Ole Catfish is willing to take few
chances in that line for the sake Of
the additional price that white deer
brings in valid coin Of the realm.

Cattle in q Bath.
IVORY SOAP PASTE.

According to recently adopted reg.
ulation cattle entering the abattoirs
or stock yards, of the Western States
from infected regions further South,
must undergo disinfecting bath. The
administration of this bath was inau-
gurated at st. Louis with some cerc-
mony.
The bath is composed Of water con-
taining solution Of Kerosene and sui
phur. Under the supcrintendence Of
the chief inspector, scventy-two cattle
were first treated. They objected
somewhat strenuously. as was natur-
al in view Of the composition Of the
bath, but quite in vain. They were
thoroughly soaked, the process requir-
ing some thirtysiX minutes.
They came out, shaking their heads
and blowing. but without any Ill ef-

GREAT COLD STORAGE PLANTS
The Largest In the World to Be Built In the
Argentine Republic.

The Largest In the World to Be Built In the
Argentine RepIblic.
The great refrigerating and cold
storage plants Of this country, the
largest in the world, promise before
long to be eclipsed by those Of the Ar
gentine Republic. The Sansinina plant
at Buenos Ayres is only one Of several
and $4,oC0,00o has already been ex-
pended upon it. 1t has a capacity for
slaughtering 5000 sheep daily, with
proportionate number Of cattle. One
of the cold storage rooms holds 10000
frozen carcasses of mutton at one
time. These are transported to Eu
rope in refrigerator steamers. AL
though there is n voyage of 1000 miles
across the equator, the original cost
Of each sheep is so small that the price
of the meat in Europe is not greater
than Of that brought from the United
States and Canada. In 1897, $500, 200
frozen sheep were exported from the
Argentine. If to these be added those
sent from Australia and America 1t
will be seen how dependent is Europe
upon foreign meat products. This
business was begun only in 1883, when
IL 900 frozen sheep were sent from the
Argentine. 1t Is estimated thnt that
republic now has a total Of 105, ,000. 900
sheep, twice the number of the United
States. This great flock by no meaus
represents the future capacity Of the
country, for sol 900 square miles, or a
territory ten times the size Of the
State Of New York, is available for
sheep pasturage.. AS yet 1t may be
said to be deserted, compared with
the number Of animals that it will sup
port in the future. 1t will be capable
