horribly mangled on the tracks, just
above the bridge of the local station
on the Dudley side, the morning of Aug
g.
The next on the docket was that of
William Bell, aged Sc years, who was
killed by the 1.3S train on the afternoon
OF Aug. at the North Webster cross
ing near Dexter f, Gleason's barn. Dr.
Bradford having viewed the body at
the time, told the court the circum-
stances of the case and how the man
was injured and what caused his death.
The fourth inquest was held over the
body that was found on the Boston and
Albany tracks one-half mile east of the
Charlton station, Aug. "a. The man
had been struck by the cars and was
mangled badly.
DR. Bradford, medical examiner, j. B.
Waite, station agent J. L. Broe, night
operator, and H. L. Truesdaff, baggage
master, testified as to the discovery of
the body, it's position, wounds and 9TH
er details of the case. The man proved
to be Robert Howard of New Bedford.
1t was thought at the Connors in
quest that some action would be taken
by the relatives of the deceased to
show that the man met death by other
means than the cars, but 1t was not de-
veloped. Connors brother, Michael,
was on hand, and although the judge
gave him a chance to say anything he
desired to, he did nothing except to
listen to the evidence.

AFFAIR OF DIsHONOR.
Almost Nude Fencing Girls at
Roster & Bial's Arrested.

New York Jan 1.-THE Journal says:
The denunciation of the shameless fenc-
ing scene by undraped women at Roster
& BiaPs which, over the signature of
Alan Dale, appeared in the Journal two
weeks ago, has borne good fruit. Last
night the participants in this affair of
dishonor were arrested by the police.
The performance, including the act
entitled "An.Affair of Honor" was wit
messed by Captain Price and Inspector
Fitzpatrick, of the West Thirtieth street
station. At its conclusion the officers
demanded admission at the stage door,
then went to the dressing rooms of the
two women they had seen in the fencing
scene and placed them under arrest.
On the evening of the Music Halls
first attempt to make living pic
ture'' of a sensational painting repre-
senting two half clad women fighting
with foils, Alan Dale described the
shameless spectacle with characteristic
vigor.
On the following day the Journal
printed a letter from Justin Huntly Nc
Carthy, commencing its course, and de-
claring that his wife. Cissie Lotus,
would at once cancel her engagement to
appear at a house permitting such an
exhibition. Mr.. Mccarthy was as good
as his word. Cissie Lotus refused to
appear at Roster & BiaPs, going to the
Casino instead.
arrests. which were not made until it
had left the hall. Back of the scenes
there was much excitement. Emanuel
Friend, who was present, went to the
station with the young women as their
attorney.
They went in a coach About forty
of the music hall attaches, all very in
dignant, followed. Manager Aarons
came later in cab. He, too, was indig
nant.
The young women gave their names
as Jeanette Perie, aged 26, and May
Wheeler, aged %. Miss Perie would not
give her address. Miss Wheeler said
she lived at No. $50 West Thirty-fOurth
street. Bail was furnished by Manager
Aarons, and a hearing set for today
in jefferson Market court.
after the first performance by these
women said Captain Price, I gave or
derS that the act must be changed. L
was informed that it had been changed.
1t was only in the last twenty-four
hours that l learned on good authority
that it had not.
Then I went to see for myself. We
don't purpose submitting to that sort of
thing"
Emanuel Friends wrath was pictur-
esque, but his logic was weak in the
knees. He said the police might as well
break into an artists studio and arrest
his model.
1T is an outrage" he shouted. ct

HOOK TO COME HERE
When He Gets the Appointment of
Federal Judge.

Unless all present signs fail, Judge W.
c. Hook of Leavenworth will be the next
federal judge of Kansas.
In this event Judge Hook will remove
from Leavenworth to Topeka and the
chambers of the judge will remain in this
city. This much can be positively stated
Friends of Mr.. Hook in this city are of
the opinion that President Mckinley will
indicate the Leavenworth man as the sue
cessor of Judge Foster shortly, even, per-
haps, before Judge Foster tenders his res
ignation. Unless a marked improvement
occurs in his health, Judge Foster will
retire on March l. in time to allow his
successor to open the next term of court,
which begins about the middle of that
tention is to place his resignation in Pres
ident McKinley's hands effective March l,

Judge Hook has the backing of Senator
Baker and Committeeman Leland, and the
Endorsement of all of the delegates to the
of t6e State a IT n exeept two
and 20 bar associations. Leland has stat
ter and Hooks friends in Topeka have
taken his lead and are announcing the
appointment of the Leavenworth attorney

work undone for his success. and he is
admittedly the strongest candidate out
side of Hook.
The friends of ex-Congressman Peters
of Newton show considerable confidence in
the chances of their candidate as sue
cessor of Judge Foster. This is due to
the fact that when the matter of retiring
Judge Foster was first brought up and the
indications pointed to the division of the
Mckinley promised to appoint Peters a
federal judge. The promise was largely
due to the fact that Peters is a warm per-
sonal friend of the president, having serv.c
ed with him in congress The theory of
the Newton mans hackers is that Presi-
dent Mckinley will tender the position to
Senator Baker, and if he refuses it. will
be guided by his personal sentiments in
making the selection and will appoint
Peters.
1t is hardly probable. however, that the
tender of the office will be made to Sen
ator Baker. except in the event of dead
lock between the Hook and Horton fac
lions, and there is no probability of such
a condition resulting. Men who are in
position to know say that Baker has never
considered the federal judgeship.
AS things now stand, Hooks chances are
by far the best, and he is likely to be oc-
cupying a seat the federal bench with
in the next three months.

AN END TO FIGHTING.
Glen Fairchild Proposes Peace if But
Temporary One.

Representative Glen Fairchild, today
discussing the proposition to dispose OF
contests pending in the legislature, by
Withdrawing them and permitting the
officers declared elected to take their
seats said:
This is plan which I believe should
be carried out. I am one of Governor
Stanley's friends and believe he wants
to see something accomplished by this
legislature. The disposition of these
contests on the plan suggested will
make way for a large amount of work.
which would be delayed by the long
drawnout hearings of the contests. A
disposal of the contests in this manner
would also avoid a large amount of ex-
pense."
This proposition also includes the
payment of the bills created by the
special session now being held up by
Auditor Cole. Its acceptance means
that the test of the new railroad law
will be made by the railroads in the
courts and not by the Republicans at
this time.
1t also means that Stuart and Gill
lette, Republicans, shall take their seats
as judges and that Marks and Elder.
Populists, take their seats as represen-
tatiVeS.

many lines. Still, generally speaking, it
may be well characterized as still gain

sellers is increasing and it may be as
serted that thus far they have shown
much more moderation and tact. They
are and have been in position to force
a rapid rise, but have on the contrary,
thrown the weight of their influence on
the side of conservatism. In many lines
the leading works are simply overload

BAD MILK DOES 1T.
1t Starts Consumption in Thousands
of Gases.

DR.. NJ. Stalker of the Iowa State
Agricultural college startled the farmers
at the meeting of the State Agricul-
tural association today by declaring
that of the 125, 600 people who die an
nually from consumption a large pro-
portion contract the disease by drinking
milk from cows affected by tuber-
culoSiS.
He said that a case had come under
his observation in Iowa in which a
strong German farmer, whose wife was
also in good health and there had been
no faint of consumption in the ances-
tors on either side, lost five chill
dren in two years from consumption.
He begged him to make a test of his
milk cows and DR.. Stalker said he found
that several of the animals were affect
ed with tuberculosis.
T Stalker said that there ought to
Law in every state making it com
luisory make tests of all cows used
for dairy purposes. He said that the
test is so simple that any farmer can
readily learn to make it himself with
out the assistance of a veterinarian.
DR.. Stalker's paper was on"The Farm
er His Own Veterinarian and he said
that every stock owner should study
the subject so that all kinds of dis
eases of live stock could be treated
without calling in outside help. He said
that the study might be simplified by
disposing of the medical terms and us
ing simple words in their places.
The question of sheep raising in it's
various phases is absorbing the atten-
ton of the meeting this afternoon. J.
N. Grau of Mitchell county and Prof
John A. Craig of the Iowa state agri-
cultural college read the two papers on
the subject of sheep raising.
