Boyd Browder, of Knoxville. testified to
having heard Leidenheimer say in that
city that If he could get anybody to play

DUE TO NEGLECT.
Verdict in the Case of Ethel Yates,
Who Died Under Faith Cure.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Jan. s-The
coroner's jury which has been investigat-
ing the death of Ethel Yates returned a
verdict that death was due to neglect. The
post-mortem showed that the cause of
death was appendicitis and doctors tes-
titled that with proper care there was
every reason to believe her life could have
been saved. The physician who attended
her before her mother returned home from
a visit and dispensed with his services for
that of a faith-healer, testified that at
that time she was improving. No warrants
were issued for the parties involved but
the matter will be presented to the grand
jury, which meets tomorrow.

Those who studied the money question
in 1896 also foresaw that the retirement
of the greenbacks was a part of the gold
standard plan. Many Republicans secuted
at the idea and the President avoided any
mention of the matter in his letter of ac-

Boston Couple That Never Spoke I'm /.
til They stood Before
the Altar.

A marriage took place in Boston the
other evening, the parties to which
had never spoken until a few minut es
before they stood before the clergy
man who pronounced them man and
wife. They had been counting for
nearly three months at that, and they
were both in full possession of the
faculty of speech, says a Bost on paper
One day in March last young wom-
an employed in one of the department
stores and a young man holding a
clerkship in music store engaged
rooms on Shawmut avenue and Union
Park street respectively, and that
night, sitting at the windows OF their
lodgings, saw each other across the
expansive courtyard for the first time.
For several nights they enjoyed each
others presence in a silent manner.
Later on the young man acknowledged
the lady's presence with bow. Then
began the odd and unique courtship.
The young man. in order to get bet
ter look al his inamorata, bought a
pair of opera glasses, and. to his de-
light, the lady did the same. Then
the young man cut out some letters
from white paper and pinned them
on a piece Of board that he had covered
with black muslin, to spell out: Tell
me your name"
The lady answered the next night in
the same way. Through this medium,
slow and unsatisfactory as it was, the
courtship went on, the young lady,
however, being deaf to all his entrea-
ties for a meeting. They soon gave up
their original mode of correspondence,
however, and began to pay tribute to
the postal service. An engagement fol-
lowed in due course of time and last
week there was a wedding distin-
guished by mo cards, no reception, no

INDIANS ON MERRY-GO-ROUND.
Visiting Bucks and Squaws Have an
Enjoyable Time I'm "a Chicago
Pleasure Resort.

Half a score of Indians, yelping in
delight and capering like schoolboys,
attracted the attention of large
crowd of sightseers at Chicago park
one night recently as they raced to-
ward merry -go-round on which they
were to have ride. The great swing
was standing vacant awaiting its noisy
passengers as the crowd gathered
around it. The bucks mounted the
horses, while the squaws scrambled
into the box seats with as broad a
grin upon their faces as their stoicism
would permit. When the whistle toot-
ed din equal to that the bucks had
made in giving their war dance began
Around the ring they rode, leaning
forward on the necks of the wooden
horses or swinging at the side so that
they narrowly escaped a number of
hard knocks several times as they
swept past the outer supports. Each
warrior tried to Guido the other in
feats of Craftsmanship. While one rode
beneath his horses neck with his legs
wrapped around the swaying figure,
another climbed 60 the back of his
mount and rode standing. Another
stood over two horses, rocking up and
down with the motion of the SWING,
but maintaining position straight as
an arrow all the time. One brief jour
ney was not enough Each redskin
clamored for more and left the swing
only under promise that the treat
should be repeated the following night.
