Chicago o, Aug. 16-Oscar Thomp-
son was held to the grand jury by
Jud ge Patton on the charge of hav-
ing murdered Mrs. Bartholin. At
the same time, John Clafy, the old
stableman, who is better known as
Daddy" was held as an accessory
after the fact to the murder of Miss
Minnie Mitchell. Thompson also
was held on this charge. Clafy's
bond was fixed at $4,000, but the
court declined to fix bond for
Thorn pson, as the murder charge
on which he waived examination
does not permit of accepting surety
for the accused. The two men were
taken to the county Jail. No at
tempt was made to give bond for
Clafy, as the primary object of the
attorneys acting for him and
Thompson was to get the prisoners
out of the hands of Inspector Hunt
and free from his "sweatbox" meth
DDS.
Shortly before noon Attorney M.
w. Meagher appeared before
Judge Patton with a petition 81 igned
by julius Aagard. Thompson's en-
ployer. for writ of babeas corpus.
Notice of the application was serv-
ed on Inspector Hunt Immediately,
with orders to bring the prisoners
into court at o'clock. At that
hour the inspector, accompanied
by Chief O'Neill and Lieutenants
Wood and Backus, appeared with
the prisoners. Assistant City Pros
ecutor Murray, representing the po-
lice, informed the court that Inspec-
tor Hunt was prepared to "book the
prisoners" and make formal charge
against them. On this Meagher
agreed to withdraw his application
for the prisoners release, and said
they would waive examination on
the charges filed against them. Pros
ecutor Immediately filed formal
charges against Thompson and
ClaAy, which were supported in
each case by an affidavit by John
King accusing the two men. King
is policeman at the Englewood
station, and he arrested Thompson.
"There will be no attempt to
give bonds for Claffy at this time, :"
said Mr.. Meagher. "Our desire
was to have him and Thompson
transferred to the Hyde Park sta
ton to the county jail, SO that they
will not be subjected to the sweat
box any more"

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 16-A man
believed to have been William J.
Bartholin, the Chicago suspect, was
in Des Moines on Thursday and
Friday. He left the city last night,
ostensibly for Burlington, to which
place he requested that his mail be
forwarded. No further trace of
him has been found. He registered
as A. K. Edgar, Chicago, and rep
resented himself as the travelling a.
gent of gas supply house. The
night clerk at the hotel asserts pos
itively that he fits exactly the de-
scription of Bartholin.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Edward Coun-
selman, who was arrested yesterday
in connection with the Bartholin-
Mitchell murder mystery, was sub
jected to a rigid examination today,
but told nothing that would throw
any light On the case. Counsel
man contradicted himself several
times.
The most magnificent circum-
stance developed was the fact that
he had repeatedly visited Bartholin
at his home, twice without the
knowledge of the young mans
mother, who had ordered him to
stay away from the house. After
an hours questioning, Counselman
finally blurted out:
eff I knew where William Bar
tholin was I would not tall you."
Counselman evaded an explana-
ton of why he abused his wife when
she refused to return to him the
letter that he had received from
Bartholin July II, summoning him
to Bartholin's home, five days after
the murder of Mrs. Bartholin.

| Great Falls, Mont, Aug. H.
President J. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern Railway Company, who
I visited this city last Wednesday,,
will erect monster steel and iron
plant, for which plans have been
drawn, according to information
from those close in touch with the
railway magnate. Wednesday night
it has developed, Mr.. Hill purchas-
ed half interest in the Conrad
iron mines, of Choteau county, for
$25, 900. The mines lie in the sweet
Grass Hills and constitute verit-
able mountain of the mineral. There
is enough iron ore in sight to keep
an ordinary plant supplied loo
years, according to Hills experts
who have examined the property.
w. G.. Conrad, owner of the mines,
has confirmed the report of the sale
to Hill.
One factor which has been lack
ing in the reduction of the iron ore
to metal has been manganese, which
is necessary, as hux in the smelt-
ing of the ore. To overcome this
difficulty, President Hill, together
with United States Senator Paris
Gibson, has purchased the recently
discovered deposits of manganese
in Jefferson county, on the line Of
the Great Northern. Seventeen
thousand dollars were paid to Ira
Meyers, of Great Falls, for the prop
erty. Mr.. Hill and his party in-
spected the manganese deposits
Friday, and Hill expressed himself
in high terms regarding the show
ing made.
Before leaving Great Falls Mr..
Hill made the remark that he would
establish an industry in Great Falls
that would employ more men than
a number of the railroads.
Along the line of the Great North
ern system, Mr.. Hill has been ac-
quiring deposits, paying tor one
group near the Spokane & Northern
100000. This deal was made
through J. D. Farrell, president of
the Pacific CoastCompany.

Ending the Officers.

Here is an amusing description Of
one of BalZac's periods of impecuniOs-
ity. Merry, the poet, a great friend or
Balzac's. was an inveterate gambler
and rarely left the card table before
daybreak. His way lay past the Cafe
do Paris, and for four consecutive
mornings he had met BalZac strolling
leisurely up and down dressed In Il

mating below the ankle, but with feet
in them, like stockings) and frock coat
with velvet facings. The second morn
ing Merry felt surprised at the coinci-
dence, the third he was puzzled, the
fourth he could hold out no longer and
asked BalZac the reason of these noe
turnal perambulations roundabout the
same spot.
Balzac put his hand in his pocket
and produced an almanac, showing
that the sun did not rise before $3.50.

Naming the Hymn.

A story is told Of negro evangel-
lcal minister who held night services In
chapel formerly used by the Angli-
can church. In hymnal which had
been left he found an old familiar
hymn suitable for his sermon, but the
Roman number CXIX somewhat con-
fused him, and he was embarrassed as
to how TO announce the hymn. AS was
the custom, he read the stanZas through,
seeming still confused. He then re-
read the first stanZas, which did not
seem to aid him In helping the congre-
cation. now very much bewildered.
Proving redoubtable. he Strengthened
himself up and seemed to grasp the sit
uation at a glance and in stentorian
voice exclaimed, Brethren. let us sing
the Skee-six hymn. New York Trib-

A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM
Can You Solve 1t or Prove That II
Cannot he SoIvedf


At lecture at the Royal institution
on the fascinating subject Of "Maglc
Squares" Major Z. A. MacMahon, +. II.
S., reminded his audience Of the exist
ence Of Il curious problem which, de-
spite its apparent simplicity, has never
yet been solved. He commended 1t to
the attention Of any one present who
desired to exercise his ingenuity and
patience.
The problem Is as follows There are
thirty-siX officers Of six different ranks
and drawn from six different regi-
ments, and 1t Is required to arrange
them in square of thirty-six compart-
ments. so that in each row as well as
I'm each column there appears an Off
Ger Of each rank and also an officer
from each regiment.
Euler's "Recherches Sur une Nouvelle
Espece de Quarres Magiques," which
appeared in 1882, discusses this prob
lem, but gives no solution, and the late
Professor Cayley, writing more than 4
century afterward. confessed that 1t
was beyond his powers.
Major MacMahon, who has added 80
much to our knowledge Of the theory
Of groups-a fascinating branch OF
mathematics which has an important
bearing on many branches Of physical
sclence-has not yet found a key to the
mystery.
Whoever can solve this problem or
prove that 1t cannot be solved will
achieve Immortality on the lips OF
mathematicians and perhaps open a
door into a new realm Of the scientific
wonderland which is called pure math-
ematics. London Post,

Trout are cannibals, and it is moot
question whether in some waters large
trout should not be Systematically de-

favor of killing them. They say that

tirely on their own brethren. two
