 Yesterday afternoon Johnson was walking under the James street railroad bridge when he met Mary Josephine Nicklas, an 1S-year-old Roumanian girl, who lives on Fair street. She had on her arm a basket full of trinkets and cheap jewelry which she was peddling, and asked Johnson to buy something. He talked with her a few minutes and then gave her half dollar and invited her to go to his house not far away.
 She accepted the invitation and went with him. Not long after this the neighbors who live near Johnson's house heard screams and cries of wo- man proceeding from the house and no one daring to go in to see what was the matter some one ran and called Pa trolman Clancy. The policeman went to the house and found the girl sitting on the back stairs crying. She told Clancy what had occurred and going into the house Clancy found Johnson ip bed and placed him under arrest. At first Johnson denied all knowledge of what the girl charged against him, but weakened last night when ques- toned by Sergeant Hayes and Detec- tive Ward.
 In the bed where he was lying the of- dcers found meat cleaver and a re-

Dealings Fall q Step Nenrcr Absolute l stngnatfon.
 | New York. June 14.-It would be diff ficult to find salient point in to-day's | stock market on which to hang an in | teligible opinion of the conditions and | the prospect. The dealings fell a step nearer to the point of absolute stagna- tion. The movement of prices through | out showed the same condition of doubt and hesitation as for some time past Prices are lower on the day, but the | losses serve as little to carry conviction of any underlying weakness in the
 market as did yesterdays gains Of any strength. Certainly there was no heavy liquidation pressing upon the market to-day. Sales were quite inappreciable which were made for any other account than that of small room traders, who would eagerly close a contract if they saw a profit of IS or IA in the change of the price. The foreign stock markets were in the same condition as the New
 York market as to the dullness of the speculative interest, but showed some firmness on the reduction in the Bank of England discount rate.
 Private discount rates in London
 went lower, and the hardening of the rate in Berlin and the further easing of sterling rates both in Paris and Berlin seemed without affect upon the Lon don money market, which is apparently reconcied to surrendering some of it's

Ap- parently the banks have not made any remittance to the government institu- tion as yet in response to the call of the treasury department for 900 for government deposits. Money is still moving in large volume from the in- terior to New York and unless the talk ing up of the government deposits is to figure in the Saturday bank statement the cash changes for the week are like ly to be small.

Was the Cause.

Philip Rupp, man fifty years of age
 living with his family at No. 27 Bald
 win street, and highly respected citi
 zen of the Third ward, committed sui
 himself in the cellar of his house. Mrs
 Rupp had been attending the funeral of
 George Lutz and returned home about
 o'clock. She expected to find her hus-
 band there, but not seeing him about
 the house thought that he had gone out. She went to the cellar to get some coal with which to start a supper fire, and there saw her husband hanging to a water pipe, his feet about foot from the floor Horror-stricken, she cut the rope by which he was hanging and then called for help The neighbors heard her and came to her assistance. They tried to resuscitate him and sent for pr. William J. Butler of 434 How ard avenue. Dr. Butler hastened to the Rupp home and on making an examina- tion of MT. rRupp found that life was ex- tinct and that he had probably been Ocdu all uOuI UT CWO.
 The rope by which MT. Rupp hung himself was a small tarred rope about three feet long and of the kind used for grain bag strings and for ham strings. It was so small in diameter that 1t lac erated his neck somewhat and had evi- dently been moved as though Mr. Rupp after he felt 1t tightening about his neck, had attempted to release himself. A baby's chair standing near by show ed the means he had taken to fasten the rope about his neck. He had tied the tarred rope or string around wa ter pipe overhead and then made slip moose, which he fastened around his neck. He had evidently stood on the small chair while doing this and after all was fixed to his satisfaction he had jumped from the chair and kicked it away Those who saw the string about his neck said last night that there was every evidence that he had tried to loosen the moose from his neck, but of course was unable to do so. The marks about his neck showed that the moose had slipped from low down on his neck up under his ears
 MT. Rupp had until the last year WOrkeu SIeaully dt odrSe1ll lOT dDOut thirty years. During the last year he had been idle and this had preyed upon his mind and caused him to become melancholy. He had complained to his family lately that his head bothered him and that he wished he was dead if he couldn't work. None of the members of his family had any idea, however, that he contemplated suicide or had any idea of any such thing. Mrs. Rupp left the house to go to the funeral about 2 o'clock and he being left alone in the house had probably brooded over being out of work, and despondency or tenn porary mental derangement led to his terrible act. He was always a sober, man and never drank, and was the last man who would have been expected to commit suicide.
 Besides his wife he leaves four chill dren, three sons and daughter. The daughter is employed by the Price, Lee & Adkins company. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock,

REPORT OF RETRENCHMENr

New York, July 25.-There are num-
erous reports here of retrenchment in
Northern Pacific expenses as a, result
OF the wheat damage in the Dakotas
and Minnesota Some improvements
have been announced as deferred, and
some branches which have been pro-
Jected will probably not be built. There
will be no reduction in the force of the
track department until cold weather
stops work. The western division of
the Northern Pacific will show no fall
ing off in business. Prospects for
traffic in Montana, WASHINGTON and
Oregon are excellent Western Mon
tana will have large volume of bus
mess and the Pacific states will have
the largest known. '0'"
The trip of Messrs. Lamont and Ken
drick to the Pacific coast is thought
here to have something to do with
trans-Pacific traffic.

learn of the present constitution and
structure of the earth and the opera

Mr. Halls work deals largely with
the natural resources of the country.
mainly the clays, gravel, and sands
through which we reach our water sup
ply. He has been working for some
time on the Minnesota side of the
river, and was SO successful in tracing
the origin of the artesian water sup
ply that farmer bored a thirty foot
well and secured we'll which flowed
forty barrels a day. On the eastern
edge of the valley a system Of what
are known among geologists as mollnu
springs was found. They are formed
by the waters being SO near the sur
face that they break Through and bring
to the surface large quantities of sand
and silt, forming the hills found near
the Buffalo river in Clay county. I'M
mediateay east of there are sandy hills
and numerous lakes, the water being
in many instances two hundred feet
higher than the Red River valley and
It is supposed that some of the bodies
OF water underlying the Red River val
ley are supplied by these lakes through
an underground channel.
On the west side of the river from
Mapleton west, another system Of ar
tesian wells is found having different
waters, and supplied from different
sources. The flows are much stronger
and are related to the great basin
wells, which are undoubtedly supplied
from lakes in the high lands in west
ern Dakota, Montana and wyoming.
On Thursday last a we'll was struck
on The farm of G. S. Trott, three and
a half miles north of Wheatland. 1t

eellent water three feet above the sur

ming about a mile south of the railroad
and four miles west Of Steele much
range was, burned over, and j.. H.
Traux, four miles southwest of town,
lost some hay and a lot of pasture.
He had a close call for all his buildings
and 125 tons of hay. Mr.. Dean lost a

or less south Of the track and four
miles east Of Steele about a. m. de-
,stroyed 120 tons OF hay, stacked and
in a bunch, for ]. A. Durham, nine
miles south of town, and hay and
range of G.. D. Uncle farther south
William Messdorf lost 800 tons of hay
cut and standing, and great expanse
Oh range, was burned. The fire swept
on into Logan and Emmons counties
taking G. H. Blake's range and some
hay in the extreme southwest corner
OF Kidder. Nearly all of Steele was
