SENSATION in NORWAY.
Priest Tried to Use His Spiritual Pow.
ers TO Boom Brothers Business
:. E;oht and Arrest Follows. 4

Norway, April 21.-Dr. Lushersman,
of this town has been arrested, the
complaining witness being Henry PICK
ett. The arrest is the elimination OF
trouble which has been brewing fo-
a. long time and it is expected that
there will be other developments be-
fore the matter is settled.
About a decade ago a new priest.
Father Luehersman, came to the viii
.lage, and took charge of the German
Catholic parish there. The priest was
a clergyman whom everyone liked at
first, and the affairs of the church were
soon running smoothly under his guild
ance. Some three or four years ago
new physician who, by the way. is a
brother of the priest, also established
his residence in Norway. and began the
practice of medicine. Being brother
of the priest he soon was able to treat
many of the people of the parish who
were sick or ailing, and it is said, he
might have prospered, but the doctors
conduct, 1t is said, was not such as
some people thought it ought to be and
his practice as result. began to Wane.
The priest, having the interest of his
medical brother at heart. is said to
have demonstrated with certain mem
bers of his congregation that they were
not giving his brother enough to do.
Matters soon reached such stage that
they became intolerable and, 1t is said.
Henry Pickett, a prominent member OF
the church went to Father Luehersman
and frankly told him the fallen status
which DIR. Luehersman had reached in
public estimation. The priest promis-
ed to investigate. A few days later
Oast Friday Mr. Pickett was summon
ed by Father Luehersman to a confer
ence, presumably one connected with
the spiritual affairs OF the parish, but
when he arrived at the place Mr.. Pick
EFT ran into a very disagreeable sur
prise. Scarcely had he seated himself
before in rushed the doctor and attack
ed him breaking his nose. lacerating his
face and doing him other Injury. The
latter was unable to defend himself
from the infuriated physician because
of a crippled arm, and consequently
was badly pummelled. DR.. B. HI. Leuh-
ersman was arrested last Saturday and
the end Is not yet.

Long Tirade Directed Against
Cleveland at Democratic
jackson Club Banquet
BETRAYED DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Bryan Says He Carried the Burden of
Cleveland Administration Thru Two
Campaigns and Wants No More Of
it-scores Cleveland for DESERVING in
the Hour Of Need.

Kansas City, April 21.-William j.
Bryan, speaking this morning to toast
to democracy at the banquet given by
the Democratic Jackson Club and news
paper men of Missouri, complimentary
to William j. Stone, at which the ad-
dresses did not begin until long after
midnight, bitterly arraigned Grover
Cleveland and his supporters, who are
making the plea for harmony among
democrats The remarks of Bryan met
with enthusiastic favor with his hear
ers. He eulogized Senator Stone as a
man who is possessed OF both moral
courage and ability and said:
"The democratic bed is wide enough
for all who want to come in. We in
vite all who have strayed from the fold
to come back IL they SO desire. but we
want them to stay in after they come.
We have had enough of Cleveland in the
democratic party. We had four years
OF Cleveland, and after his administra-
ton was over we found ourselves weak
er than we had ever been before. be-
cause we had been betrayed. The So
called thermometers, Cleveland and his
followers, showed their nearness to
republicanism by deserting us in our
hour of greatest need and supporting
the republican party. the democratic
party won great victory in 1892, which
gave our party great opportunity, but
Cleveland betrayed the democratic par
ty. I carried the burden of his admins
tration thru two national campaigns.
and there was not plank in either
platform that was such a detrinent to
me in those campaigns as that burden
was. Cleveland had the best opportunity
to redeem the democratic party ever
offered to any since the time of Andrew
Jackson, but instead of being true to his
party he disgraced himself AS n party,
we must stand true to democratic prin-
ciples, and if we do. believe the demo-
cratic victory will some Day come, and
lit will be here to remain when 1t
comes"
Senator William ]. Stone. who did not
arise to speak until $3.50. said in the
course of his remarks I'VE are apart;
let us get together. The platform is the
creed of the party and the man VINO
does not subscribe to 1t does not believe
in the democratic party.
Speaking Of next years convention,
he said: There will be no abandon
ment or reorganization and no man un-
worthy to hold UP old Jefferson's flag
will be nominated, and IL he is, God pity
us, for he will be defeated"

MAY REvoLuTlonlzE INDUSTRY
Importantant Results Claimed for Steel
Experiments in st. Paul.

ST. Paul, April 21.-An experiment
that may revolutionize the iron and
steel Industry of the country was sue
cessfully made yesterday afternoon at
the plant Of the Valley Iron Works in
this city. Titantic iron ore, of which
there are billions of tons in northern
Minnesota, was sheltered in an ordin-
ary cupolo, and turned pig iron which
polished up like steel and which. ac-
cording to those interested in the ex-
pertinent, is better than the finest Bes-
semer steel.
While the hard and soft ore mines
OF st. Louis county have been turning
out millions of tons annually for years,
farther north there gigantic beds OF
iron, which, because of the presence OF
titaniuna, making it refractory. have
received but little attention, altho their
existence is generally known. 1t has
been commonly believed that sooner or
later 1t would be necessary to use this
ore. because of the rapid dwindling of
the supply of hard ore. which is neces-
sary to bring the hard ores up to Bes-
semer grade. and that before that time
q. process would be discovered by which
this apparently valueless ore could be
used.

bald-headed friends that they should
organize to be strictly up to date. The
matter was taken at first to be more a
jest than serious proposal. However
later developments indicate that the
club will be organized at an early date
and in it will be many of Cleveland's
prominent citizens. There are several
novel clubs. in Cleveland. but the pro-
moters of the bald-headed club intend
to make this more novel than any other.
No member will be permitted to wear

Harrisburg, Penn, April 21.-Evel.y
Important newspaper in Pennsylvania

speec was made by Charles Emery
Smith, of the Philadelphia press. He
said the bill was utterly powerless to
stop the particular kind of publication
which it aims at, but 1t Encompasses
legitimate publications, with an unlim-
tied net work OF embarrassment and
vexation: 1t would cripple and curtail
the presentation of the regula. and
proper news OF the day; it would start
up a swarm OF speculative shysters and
curbstone blackniailers, it infringes on
the lust and constitutional liberty OF
the press and would impair that valu-
able protection for public morals and
public rights, which is found in the
seach light of publicity. Its especial
is in undertaking a law
Tor newspapers, while exempting the

trates a gross wrong in seeking to fast
en- the principals responsibility upon
the agent, where the agent not only
does not commit offense, but has not
even power to prevent 1t.
! The libel bill provides that civil ac-
Z ton may be brought against any owner
or managing editor of any paper pub

shall have the right to award punitive
damages against the defendants. II
also provides that every newspaper
published in Pennsylvania shall pub
Slish on the editorial page the names ol
the owner or owners together with the
name OF the managing editor.
The law is so fixed in its details thai
