out some attempt in this line on the

form OF entertainment was so popular, and
the prospect is fair for a similar demand
for it. \ really ambitious amateur theat-
rical season will be opened on the occasion
OF a large house party given by the Ouch
eSs OF Devonshire, that notably charming
hostess. Few Americans who have not
been in England realize the immensely of
some of these English house parties. AT
many of the larger country houses il is
thought nothing to dine fifty guests at once

number when neighbOring party also is
entertained The fashion of never pre-

SWINDLE THE STATE.
Made to Pay More than, Deceased
Animals, Which Are Killed,
Are Worth.

Fond du Lac, Wis.,, Jan. 13.-[Spe-
cial -'.There are many cattle owners
ia Wisconsin who are cheating the state
every day by taking advantage of the
offer to pay for cattle killed because Of
infection by disease This statement
was made this morning by State Veter-
marian Clute who is here on official busi-
ness.
You see,'" continued he. when cattle
is condemned by me, appraisers are APP
pointed to determine the value of the
animals to be slaughtered. The cattle
owners influence these appraisers and the
result is that the state is forced to pay,
in many cases, almost twice as much,
and oftentimes considerable more than
the killed animals are worth. In one
county an animal worth $40 was killed
by my order and the state paid $43, for
it,
Mr.. Clute was called here because of
the prevalence of lumpy jaw among cat
tie in this county. He says that this
will be his last trip out to attend to that
disease owing to the breaking out of
worse diseases among Dane county cat
tile. He states that lumpy jaw is not

STRANGE CONFESSION.
inier wanted to Return Money
& sStolen from a Bank Which
& is No More

] Racine, Wis, Jan. 12-f Special. IA
strange thing happened at the st. Pat
TICKS church parsonage shortly before
dusk last evening. Rev. Father Trant
wastSeated in his library, when a large
and burly-looking man came to him and
said that he had a confession to make.
The stranger then told Father Trant
tnat ne was just out Of prison, sent there
for a crime he had committed. 1t was
his earnest desire to lead an honest Chris
tan life hereafter and before starting in
he desired to relieve his conscience of a
load that weighed it down.
Some years ago he and his partner had
robbed bank and got large sum of
money. His share was $4,000 and his
partner had something like $4,000. This
money he desired to return to the owners.
but he did not know what to do as the
oflcers Of the bank were dead and the
bank had suspended. He said he had the
money buried q short distance out in the.
country, that he would go out and dig it
up, and that at midnight he would re-
turn to the home of Father Trant and
turn it over to him.
Father >Trant Immediately informed
the police of the mans strange actions
and conversation, believing that perhaps
it,was a job on the part of the stranger
to call at the hour named, do him harm
and rob the house of what he could get.
Officer Schumacher was detailed on the
case and he visited the home of Father
Trant before midnight and remained in
the vicinity all night. but the stranger
failed to put in an appearance. The Off
GERS are inclined to believe that the
stranger was some. tramp of unsound
mind AMI that he called at the home of
Father Trant and related his delusion.

WANTS COMPANY TO SUE.
Raraboo Refuses to Pay Bill for Hy-
drant Rental.

Baraboo, Wis, Jan. 13.-TSpeeial Il
The city council disalfowed the bill of
the Baraboo Waterworks company last
night at the regular session. The conn
nany now has claims of almost $4,000
against the city, and it is desired on the
part of the mayor and aldermen that the
city be sued by the company SO that some
of the alleged defective workings of the
water company be brought out. The city
commenced proceedings against the wa
ter company several months ago for the
purpose of breaking the franchise, on the
ground that a proper pressure had not
been maintained in the mains, and that
a good quality of water had not been fur
nished If the company sues the city for
hydrant rental for the past year it is
claimed that some of these imperfections
in complying with the franchise will be
brought out and aid the city in its case.
What steps the company will take have
NOT been determined.

FINDS RUNAWAY WIFE.

IDLE from within the borders of little
Wisconsin town led Mrs. Frances Yep
perer of Whitelaw to leave her home,
taking $500 of her husbands money,
and come to Chicago. A woman, said by
the police to be a nun, Sister Edmunda,
from the convent in the neighboring town
OF Boyd, was her travelling companion.
Ihey had only three days observation of
part OF the world and of Evanston, for
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Zepperer found
his wife in that city and caused her ar
rest on charge of theft
Repentance then came quickly to the
young woman and she begged her hus-
band to forgive her and take her home.
ne other woman also pleaded for Mrs.
Iepperer and expressed sorrow for her
part In the affair, declaring that She
would return to the convent and never
leave it again. The police joined in the
efforts to placate the husband, who at
first was disposed to be unrelenting.
Mrs. Iepperer finally broke down and
wept bitterly. This overcame the wayer-
ing husband and there was an affecting
little scene. Il forgive you, dear" said
MI. Lepperer, Il fancy you have seen
enough Of the world to satisfy your long
ing We will go home on the next train
Inc charge against the woman was
stored to her husband the $500, less a
small sum she and her companion had
expended for sweetmeats and some
iknlckknacks in Chicago. A little while
later the man and the two women were
on the way back to Wisconsin.

ITAEY'S DEMAND.
Calls for the Punishment of Lynch
erS of Five italians at
Talulah, La.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 13.-The Ital-
ian government has signifed to the gov
eminent of the United States III the polite
and courteous method known tc modern
diplomacy, a wish that the persons guilty
of lynching the five Italians at Talulah
La. last spring, should be punished
Heretofore in cases of the lynching of
Italians, the matter has been comprom-
Used by the payment of an indemnity, but
this does not meet the present demand Of
the Italian government. As under the
existing law the trial and prosecution of
such cases as this is left entirely to the
state authorities, the national govern
ment is wellnigh helpless to meet the re
quest Of the Ital an government. The
investigation made by the state of Louis
lana was so unsatisfactory that the
national government undertook the
investigation through its own agents
to learn the facts attending the lynchlns.
The result of this inquiry is now on file.
But the United States government at
present cannot make the report the basis
of any legal proceedings against the
lynchers. AS an outcome of this embar-
raising position, the President will proba-
bly, make fresh representations to Con,
gress urging the speedy passage of the
pending bills intended to remove from
state courts jurisdiction in cases where
persons claiming treaty protection are the
victims and transferring jurisdiction over
them TO the federal courts. 4

timacy existing between his wife and
Poplanski The wife made full con-
fession to her husband and told Poplanski
that Megus had told her husband. Po7
planski then made threats against
AIegus' life, and he suddenly disappeared

Denver, Col, Jan. 13.-Frederick G..
Bonfils and III. III. Tammen, proprietors
of the Evening Post, were both shot in
their office at noon today by w. w. An
derson, q prominent local attorney.
1t is not believed that either
was mortally injured. Both were
able to walk to carriages that carried
them home. After the shooting Ander-
son walked out of the office unmolested,
but was later arrested. The exact cause
of the shooting is not known. Anderson
went to the editorial rooms of the Post
and entered the office of Bontils u Tam
men. Polly Pry. well-known news
paper woman, was also in the
room. 1t is understood that Ander-
son objected to something that had APP
peared in the Post and demanded retrac-
ton and that Bonfiis and Tammen both
attempted to put him out Of the office.
Then he commenced to shoot. AS he
was leaving the Post office the lawyer said
that Bonfis and Tammen both attacked
him and that he used his revolver in
self-defense
Tammen and Bonfils say that Ander-
son walked into their office and COM

Attorney Anderson. whose condition
shows that he had been roughly handled,
refused to talk when seen at the police

of Packer, known as 'sthe cannibal." who
is serving term in the prison for MUIR
