RILBY MURDER CASE.
Little Doubt That Victim Was Deliber
ately Enticed to Country.


Aberdeen, S. D.. May 19.-Develop-
ments in the Dewitt c.. Billy murder
case appear to leave little doubt that
the murdered man was the victim of
VIII Viegler. and that the murderer de
liberately enticed his victim into the
country for the purpose OF getting his
money. Billy was spending a short
time in Groton and Viegler joined him
on Friday night and hired a rig to 60
to the home of Chef Lucas in the coun-
try to attend a party. The two men
left the Lucas home at II o'clock the
same night and Billy was not
again seen alive. Viegler returned
the livery team alone. Sunday morn
ing Viegler hired another team
and drove to the Mcfarland
place, and was told of the discovery of
the body Of Bilby, which had not yet
been taken from the well and identified.
Viegler declined to help get the body
from the well, saying he would return
after driving to another place four
miles away. He did not return, but
drove to Houghton, where he hired an
other team which took htn within a
miles OF Hecia, where he failed to Sc
cure another team, and where he was
last seen Sunday night at Hecla. An
examination OF the buggy used by tho
two men Friday night shows blood
stains on the cushion and back, and the
probability seems TO be that Billy was
shot while riding in the buggy after
they left the Lucas place Friday night.
BRby's people live in New York city,
and he had been about Groton for two
or three years. Viegler was a new
conner, having been there but two or
three months, it is not known where
from.
The board of education has let the
contract, without heating or plumbing,
for the two new four-room ward school
houses in the First and Fourth wards,
to ]. II. Nickel OF st. Paul for $27, 220.
The buildings are to be modern In all
respects. and TO be ready for the open
ing of the schools i'm the fall.

Only A BLUFF.
Louisville Surgeons Use Ice Water In
stead Of Knife to Perform
Operation.

Louisville, May IA New Albany
Ind, woman is In a hospital here, care
fully wrapped in bandages, and labor
ing under the delusion that she has
undergone a dangerous operation for a
disease OF the stomach. Her physicians
are carefully watching her, in the an
ticipation hat their unique deception
may permanently cure the hysteria
with which she has been afflicted for
several months. The experiment is a
rare one
The patient had been operated upon
several years ago. Since hat time she
has been constantly harassed with the
hallucination that there would be an
ultimate recurrence of the trouble.
About three moRths G she had 81
fright which upset her nerves. A few
days afterward she announced that she
detected symptoms of a recurrence of
her complaint. Her physicians made a
careful examination. but could find no
traces OF the trouble. She insisted on
an operation, however, and the physi-
clans arranged 6he deception.
Just enough opiates were administer
ed to reduce her to a state of semi
consciousness. She could hear and feel
vaguely, but could see nothing. The
physicians, speaking gravely, spent con-
siderable time In definitely locating the
supposed trouble. When all was in
readiness one of the doctors produced a
pitcher OF ice water, which he held
above the Nrt supposed to be affected,
and allowed a drop to fall at intervals
ef about afteen seeond with each
drop of water the patient WINGED, and
occasionally groaned as IL in great
agony. Once or twice she could be
heard to whisper that the doctors be
careful and not to cut her too deeply.
When II was thought the hoax had
been successfully carried to completion,
the doctors swathed the patient in
bandages and had her removed to her
room. On awakening she found her
self in the presence of two trained
nurses, who are keeping up the decep-
ton by not allowing her to move a.
muscle. Although she has the appetite
and strength of a normal woman she
lies perfectly passive and submits
c~heerfully to the diet of clear broth.
The physicians say they will allow her
to leave the infirmary in three weeks.

Good Taste in Wall Papers.

Harper's Bazaar: The rules of good
taste never change, though they some
times seem to do SO. The wall should
be treated from the Dashboard up. II
there is a dado, it should represent
darkest OF all those employed for the
wall; the division above 1t should be
several shades lighter, the border, IL
any, still lighter, and the ceiling light
est Of all, and for this reason, which
always exists, the ceiling receives less
light than any other portion OF the
room, and the border less than the wall
below it. The effort, therefore, must
be to counterfeit the darkness above
by supply the missing light. A darkly
papered ceiling should always be avoid
ed in n but a Turkish or Indian room.
Cool yellows, deep creams, golden tans
are the best ceiling tones, as a rule,
though there are occasions where a sort
blue or a rose-1ushed ceiling is to be
advised.

washington, May 19.-Following is q
summary of the weekly crop bulletin
issued by the weather bureau:
The week, especially the latter part,
was much too cool in all the districts
east of the Rocky mountains. and. re-
specting temperature, was less favor
able than the preceding week.
Light to heavy frosts occurred e
the northern portion OF the central
valleys and the middle Atlantic states
and in the lake region, with more or
less injury.
Light local rains afforded relief over
limited areas in the south Atlantic n
east gulf states, but the greater part or
these districts continues TO need rain,
and in some sections the drought is Sc
we're.
Planting Is Delayed.
The week also was too cool on tn.
north Pacific coast, but there was am
pie heat in California. While corn
planting has been delayed in portions
of Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri, this
work as a whole has made favorable
progress In the states of the Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys and has
proceeded uni~nterruptedly in the Ohio
valley. Planting is in progress in the

Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri the
advancement of winter wheat has been
favorable and an improvement is gen.
orally reported elsewhere east Of the
Rocky mountains, but condition of the
crop in the states Of the Ohio valley
continues very poor.
Heavy rains prevented completion
of the spring wheat seeding in portions
of North Dakota and northern Mime
sofa, but seeding is practically COM
pleted elsewhere. Early sown wheat
is coming up and growing nicely in the
Dakotas and southern Minnesota, but
variable conditions are reported from
Iowa.
With the exception of variable con-
ditions In Iowa and unpromising in
Missouri, the general outlook for oats
in the principal oat-producing states
is good.
