ATE DISEASED MEAT.
And Children Have Typhoid Fever as
Result

Sheboygan, Wis, Feb. 1.-Two chill
dren of Bernhard Jensen, living on
End court, are dangerously i'll from
eating diseased meat, and their lives
are despaired of. About three weeks
ago the family, who are Hollanders
and speak little English, bought some
beef from a Hollander, a farmer living
three miles from the city. The family
ate sparingly of the meat, and about a
week ago the children were taken i'll.
The boy, aged years, and the girl, 2
years old, lie in a. stupid condition
most of the time.
The 3-year-old daughter of H. Bay
ers, living next door, also lunched Off
the meat and was taken i'll. The ply
sicians first called in diagnosed the
case as typhoid fever, but yesterday
analysed the beef with the result
stated. When the farmer sold he
meat he said it didn't look very nice,
as it had been frozen, but admitted
yesterday that the cow was killed he
cause it was sick A number of FAM
lilies bought the meat. The parents of
the children also ate of the meat and
have been indisposed at times.

Stoughton, Feb. People Of
Stoughton were surprised and pleased
TO learn of the appearance OF ]. II.
Joice, the alleged defaulting cashier
Of the defunct Dane County bank. Mr..
Joice arrived here on the 4:30 train
accompanied by his attorney J. NJ.
Clancy and Immediately proceeded
to the home of his wife's mother, Mrs.
Nels Thompson. The sentiment
against Joice has not abated during
his two years absence His resist
ance to being brought to trial has
again brought the matter before the
public and the expressions heard to-
ward the former fugitive are not COM
plimentary. The charge alleged
against Joice is of receiving deposits
after he knew the bank was insolvent
There are also rumors about the find
ing Of altered notes and notes with
chemical erasures on them after tbs

! be convicted Of these things, it is said
Depositors are now in a state O.
mind where they are determined tt
push the matter to final settlement
Attorneys will be employed to assis

forts will be made to convict the man
1t is rumored that the depositors vii
secure the services of Olin & Butte

WANDER AND STARVE
TERRIBLE SUFFERING or SOL
DIERS IN SAM&R.
MANY DIE BY WAYSiDE
Disastrous Results Follow Attempt of
Marines and Soldiers to March
Across island-Lose Their Way,
Run Short of Rations and Delayed
by Storms.

Washington, Feb. 2,-General Chat
fee has cabled the war department
the report of the march OF Major
Waller and his marines across Samar.
1t is the first full account of the march
and tells a tale of terrible suffering
and hardship Major Waller, four Of
ficers and fifty men Of the marine
corps; Lieutenant Lyles of the 18th
infantry and SO native bearers, started
with four days rations during the last
week in December, from Lanang, On
the east coast of Samar, to cross the
island to Basey, about 80 miles dis
tant. The dispatch says:
"Incessant rains from the start,
swollen streams and other natural OBJ
stacles made the progress extremely
slow When the rations were con
sumed the men became exhausted rap
idly, dropping on the way. Major
Waller sepa1 ated from Captain Por-
ter, Lieutenant r. P. Williams and the
major part of the men, proceeded
toward Basey where he arrived Janu-
airy 9Th, with two officers and thirteen
men, also Lieutenant Lyles. He re-
| turned to the mountains the next day
with relief, but returned to Basey
about ten days later unsuccessful.
| Porter was to build RATS, but the tim
! Der would not float. The second day
after separating from Waller, Porter
moved toward LananS, arriving there
January II with two men; all exhaust
ed, physically and mentally. Lieuten-
were left in the mountains in a SINH
lar condition with native bearers. A
relief expedition under Lieutenant
Kenneth P. Williams of the 1st infantry
was delayed in starting two days by
a storm raging and the torrent in the
river. 1t started Dec. 18th and
reached the marines Dec 10, having
Lieutenant Williams and all except
ten men, not found, who no doubt are
dead from starvation.
Captain Porter and Lieutenant Will
Jams and the eighteen men in the hos
pital at Tavloban are not very clear
in their minds regarding much of the
time covered by the period of suffer,
ing. All will probably recover Ma
| jor Waller is at present disordered in
his rec0lleCtions. The suffering OF
this command for 20 days cannot be
described The efforts of Lieutenant
| Williams and the relief party were
unequalled for courage and labor"

Madison, Feb. 2.

Veterans of bloody wars there are
who carry about in their bodies leaden
bullets, but here is a Madison veteran
of the hammer and saw who carries
about in his stomach a number OF
nails and apparently feels no distress
ing effects.
Yesterday afternoon William c.. AL
bright, a carpenter who lives at S25
West Dayton street, while at work in
the new hotel which George Fess is
completing on East Doty street, filed
his mouth with quantity of steel wire
finishing nails each about an inch and
a half in length. In some manner one
of the nails slipped down his throat
and caused intense pain. He was TAX
en- to DR.. A. r. Law, who after work
ing at the man for some time succeed
ed in pushing the metal into the stom-
ach. The carpenter then returned to
his work and seemed to feel no i'll eff
fects. Last summer he swallowed a
shingle nail and was not even tenn
porarily distressed, as in the present
instance.
If this man keeps on, although his
astronomical achievements are not
yet very pretentious, he may yet rival
the patient who died at the Mendoza
hospital some years ago, in whose
stomach was found about a pint OF
miscellaneous hardware, including
nails, tacks, buckles, knife blades.
needles, bronze medal and other
choice bits said to have been enjoyed
by this human ostrich, so to speak

instituted by Samuel Stevenson.
brother-in-law of John Alexander
Dowie, declared Dowie's church Chris

mixture of religion and business. He
held that Stevenson had by undue in-
iuence exerted by Dowie as head of
the church, been led to turn over to
Dowie practically everything he had
in the world, and held Stevenson en-
titled to at least 100000 from Dowie,
on the lace industries, which he said
are practically the same thing.

Ways and Means Committee to inVes.
tiqate Allegation That Upper
House Can Pass on Reciprocity
Treaties Without Consent of Lower
Branch of Congress.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The house
yesterday prepared itself against what
il considers a threatened invasion by
the senate of its prerogative in the
matter of revenue legislation by di-
recting the ways and means commit
tee to investigate the subject and re-
port to the house it's conclusions.
The action of the house was the out
growth of agitation in the senate OF a
claim that reciprocity treaties affect
ing customs revenues can be negoti-
ated without the concurrence of the
house.
Congressman Richardson, the min
GRITTY leader, sought to have the house
adopt a declaration on the subject
yesterday without waiting for the SEN
ate to commit an overt act, but the
majority leaders opposed hasty action
and his resolution was referred to the
ways and means committee.

passed, among them one to pay $751;

TAUGHT PRINCE HENRY.
Philadelphia Man Sailed With His
Royal Highness Around the World.

Tamaqua, Pa, Feb. 1.-Charles
Stemm, a native of Prussia, but res
ident Of Hazelton for the past twenty
years, cslaims the distinction of being
the only one in the United States of
the crew of 500 which accompanied
Prince Henry Of Prussia OH his trip
around the world in 1873 Mr.. Stemm
describes him then as shy, modest
youth, who endeared himself to the
crew by his affability, his eagerness to
acquire the fullest knowledge of
nautical affairs and his readiness to
impart to the men the technical
knowledge that was his.
Stemm was one of the picked crew
Of H. NJ. S. Prince Adelbert and was
drafted for the crew only few
months after entering the navy. At
the hour when the ship crossed the
equator the crew was piped on deck
to receive and pay tribute to King
Neptune. Prince Henry was seated
IN his turn on a plank, laid athwart
a fat bottomed boat, in which ordi-
narily the clothes washing was done.
Then he was lathered with big
brush and shaved with a wooden razor.
The plank was then jerked from I'M
der him and he tumbled into the
water in the boat. He took all in good
part, and was thereupon declared
adopted to the seas.
On the boat, in charge of the miz-
zen mast, was Lieutenant Hirschberg.
Prince Henry was second in charge
and Mr.. Stemm third in charge. AM
the knots that sailors made were
taught the German prince by Stemm |
who sat for hours during the niebt
putting the prince through the fntrf. |
cacles OF bow, ship and other knots.
