AN AGREEMENT TO FURNISH A
PARTY WITH $3.50 ON PAYMENT
OF s2t.5O. is NOT OBTAINING
MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
LENSES.
Knott was convicted OF obtaining
money under false pretenses and ap-
pealed. The case appears in the opin-
Ion of the court.
The court says:
The defendant is indicted for obtain
Ing money under q false pretenSe. Code,
section 1925. The States witness tes-
titled that The went to the defendant.
Knott, and told him he understood he
was an agent for one Franklin. who
would furnish good and lawful money
TO any one at the rate of $40 for each
81 invested, and that he afterwards. on
the same day, made q bargain with de-
PENDANT. Knott, that upon the payment
Of s21.50 the said Knott was to procure
for him from said Franklin the sum of
$3.50; that defendant, Knott, told him
he had furnished money at these rates
for Ogburn, Hill e. Co." and others:
further, that said money had not been
received by him. Does this evidence
constitute an indictable offense under
our Code? 1t does not. 1t shows a
promise to be performed in the future,
but does not show a false representation
of a subsistng fact. This question was
fully explained in State V. Phfer, 65 N.
c. 326. which has been followed as a
leading case. There 1t was held that
there must be a false representation
OF q subsisting fact, calculated to de-
ceive. and which does not deceive" but
1t does not extend to mere tricks of
trade. 1t makes no difference whether
the prosecutor was n prudent or i'm
mn n
upon; for. II he was deceived, II was
done by promise, and not by a false
representation Of an existing fact. New

sLockyards district, was arrested on sus-
picion Of having murdered MS wife on
January 81, for tire purpose OF marry
luc younger woman. Although the
woman's body has uot yet been discov'
cred, the police are inclined TO believe
that SIZE mas been murdered. Becker
makes contradictory statements, and
blood spots have been fou1d on the walls
and floors OF barn in the rear of bis
residence.
Elgut years ago Becker married The,
resa Ba;en5erg, IL Milwaukee, and
snoc,ly after moved 10 Chicago. Six

that, according to his neighbors, he was

A SENSIBLE NEGRo.-A negro who
had rather be in jail in Virginia than
free in New York was found yesterday.
Simon Bowie, an old negro about 70
wears OF age, recently stole barrel OF

tried in magistrates court and given
one year in jail. Recently his daugh-
Ter, who resides in New York, employ
ed an attorney to secure a pardon for
the old man, desiring to take him to
New York to live with her. Steps to
secure . pardon were taken, and wouid
probably have been successful, heG
thew all been taken, as Simon was
good old negro, and took the flour un-
der circumstances of peculiar tempta-
tion. But the old darkey put stop
upon the proceedings by fatty refus-
ing to accept pardon. He declared the
white people IN Virginia had always
treated him as we'll as he deserved, and
he did not want to leave the State, even

REBELLION IN CHINA.

Oreuta! adVices received at Tacoma,
Wash, yesterday, contain the news
that q rebel government has succeeded
the regular Chinese authority over the
vast area of Kwang, Tung and Kweng
81 provinces. The rebels are wonderful
~ well organized for Chinese and their
progress is marked with none OF the
atrocities usually associated with sucn
internecine strife. The rebellion is di-
rec;ed by the noted rebel, DR.. Sunyat
sun. Many Chinese mandarin5 have
acquiesced in Sunyatsun's plans, there
by saving their heads.
The mandarins are no louger left in
supreme authority. As fast as the
towns are captured head men are put
in charge to see that affairs are con-
Quoted as the rebels want them. Sew
erai bodies Of soldiers sent against the
rebels 10y the provincial authorities
have been rapidly absorbed into the
rebel ranks. The rebels there are fight
ing for g more progressive regime 10
China, and it is believed that they will
ne soon a serious menace to the present
Pekin government.
Pekin advices state that a bloody
battle occurred in Szechuan, between
government troops and the rebels, ur-
der Yumantse. The crisis there has
brought ABOUT a secret edict sent by the
Dowager Empress to the Viceroy of
Szechuan, commanding MIN to lead all
nIs available troops against Yumantse.
Heavy penalties were threatened for
failure to crush the rebels. Ia the sub
sequent battle scores were killed. The
rebels were sc completely routed that
Yumantse surrendered. Father Fleury,
me captive French missionary, whom
the rebels were supposed to have kill
ed, was handed over to the French
Consul.

GETTING RID OF BUGS.

Science Comes to the Rescue of the
Housewife.
Herr Bernegau has earned the thanks Of
all housekeepers for his long and exhaust
i've inquiry in regard to the real value Of
those substances hitherto upheld as effica-
cious as destroyers of reaches and other
domestic insect pests. The result has been
somewhat surprising, inasmuoh as 1t has
shown that many Of the most popular
remedies on the market are practically Of
little use. Insects were caught and kept
in glass tubes 50 that the effects could be
closely watched.
Fresh insect powder made bugs little
uncomfortable for awhile, but they soon
recovered and became as lively as before,
apparently none the worse for tho expert
ence. When mixed with 10 per cent naph-
thalin, the powder killed few Of the In
sects only. Hydrogen hyperoxide was a
fiat failure. Formalin was quite effective,
but 1t costs too much and has unpleasant
effects on the person applying 1t. Coal oil
was deadly, but 1t has a bad odor and Ia
dangerous where contact with fire Is pos
sible.
Herr Bcrnegau finally decided that the

either alone or with naphthalin. He rec
ommends that the haunts of the insects
should be gone over with turpentine oil

chases the insects out of their hiding places,
and little sprinkling Of the oil effectual.
