SORRY TALE OF DIETZ RAIDER.
milwaukee, Man Found Naked in
Woods After Cameron Dam Row.

John Rogich, the Milwaukee deputy

was brought to Hayward by Chairman E
Arnts of the town of Winter Rogich has
good chances of recovery unless compli.
cations SET in. He is suffering more from
the two days of privation and exposure
endured than from his wounds. Rogichs
story Is chat he was the only one to stand
and receive the fire of the Dietzes and
that when he fell he plainly heard Dietz
telling his son Clarence TO go down and,
if he was still alive, to kill him. chop his
head off and bring it up and feed it to
the hogs. 1t was as Clarence was coming
down that he took aim and shot him, he
says. Rogich then started alone for the
camp and waded to his neck through the
water of the Thorn Apple river. Here he
was found by his companions, who I'M
dressed him and laid him upon a stretcher
and started to carry him out, forgetting
TO bring his clothes. When the cry of
Dietz was raised they deserted him, he
says. and from then on into the night
of the next day he wandered aimlessly
through the wilderness, naked and suf-
fering excruciatingly from his wounds and
mosquitoes and the direst privation until
he came upon the camp of two assessors,
who cared for him and brought him out

Woman and the Church.


Take woman's treatment by the
Christian church" says The WOman's
Home Companion. To-day it is easy
TO understand why many women have
half deserted church work for club
| work, inasmuch as for centuries men
did all the preaching and women most
of the practicing, largely through mis-
sionary societies devoted to heather on
the other side of the earth.
This religious record was most sec
ular to say the least. The council of
Macon, composed of fifty-nine bishops
| seriously considered whether woman
| had a sOul. but by a majority of one
| decreed that she had. Later one Chris
| tian sect declared that woman would
| have to be transformed into a man be-
| fore she could be resurrected. Then
the saints called her all sorts of yitu-
! perative names. St Bernard said that
woman was the organ of the devil St
| Cyprian characterized her as the in
| strument % the devil st. John Da-
mascene denounced her as the daughter
of falsehood,' and st. Gregory the Great
said. Woman has the poison of the asp,
the malice of the dragon st. Paul's
milder edict, 1T is a shame for a wom-
an to speak in the church. has until
! latel. prevented the fair sex from Sc
curing any representative within the
scored precincts. She was not permitted
to sing in the choirs or to speak in the
pulpit. To-day the only church which
recognizes the absolute equality of men
! and women is the Orthodox Friends.
though the recent establishment of the
house of churchwomen' by the Episco-
pal church is a step toward universal
religious equality"

CAGES SON A SUICIDE.
Shoots Himself in Seattle Hotel
While Wife Searches for Him.

SHOOTS Himself in a Seattle Hotel
While Wife Searches for Him.
Eli A. Gage, son of former Secretary
of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage of Chi
cago, committed suicide by shooting him
self through the heart in a room in the
Tourist Hotel a second-class lodging
house on the edge of the red light district
of Seattle. He had registered under the
name OF j. w. Gorst, had no baggage and
was almost without funds.
His wife and child, who came to Join
him few days ago, were at the Grey
stone, fashionable boarding house. For
two days Mrs. Gage had been searching
for her husband, employing detectives o
aid her, but even his friends had been I'M
able to locate him
Mr.. Gage had been changing from one
hotel to another and registering under as
sumed names for two weeks. His &C
quaintances say they are not surprised at
the suicide, as he had been acting strange
~ for some time, and had been drinking
heavily.
Gage worked for the North American
Trading and Transportation Company
during 1S96-97 on the Yukon river steam
| er Weare. He had trouble in Alaska,
where he was almost killed in a saloon
row at Circle City in 1896. His father,
his wife's uncle Capt. P. B. Weare, and
]. j. Healy, all in the trading company,
interceded for him. Afterward he went
to Chicago.
Not long ago Gage left Chicago for the
West, and applied for a berth in the
Alaska service of the Northwestern
Steamship Company in Seattle less than
a month ago. After reaching Seattle he
| deposited 5000 in one of the local banks.
A statement rendered July "a showed he
had $211 left, but at the time he killed
himself had only $3.50. Heavy drinking
is given as the cause of the suicide.

END OF FAKE JEWELRY.
Doom of Brass disappearing as
Gold Sounded by New Law.

The doom of gold-coated brass jewelry
marked eighteen carat. of eight-carat rings
marked fourteen carat. of watchcases
marked far above their real quality,
gold" cuff buttons with bass links, cheap
alloy wedding rings boldly called eighteen
carat gold" chains which were brass
dipped in a solution of gold and sold
as the solid metal and hundred and one
other devices successfully worked for
years upon an innocent public has been
sounded
\ new law will protect the public from
unscrupulous manufacturers and dealers
in jewelry who have for years been fOist-
ing on the public spuriously marked gold
articles. Now it becomes misdemeanor
to stamp any article of gold or silver as
being of a quality more than it will as
say. This fraud has been a crying evil
in the jewelry trade, and it has been by
the hard and earnest work of the best in
terests of the trade that the attention of
Congress has been effectually called to the
abuses which have been in vogue. Not
waiting for outside reformers to investi-
gate trade conditions. the jewelers. them
selves called upon Congress to penalize
fraudulent work. and so to protect hon
est manufacturers and dealers, as we'll as
the public. The average man buys jew
elry with his eyes shut. fguratively speak
ing, and up to the present time he has
had very little protection. The new law
makes it proaibitive for any manufac-
turer to run the risk of deceiving the re-
tail dealer or of abetting him in the de-
ceDtiOn of his customers

DIETZ FACES BATTLE.
Defender of Cameron Dam Prepares
to Fight to the Death.


Two picked companies of Wisconsin
inilitiamen, marching under positive or
ders TO shoot to kill. may be dispatched TO
Cameron dam TO effect the capture, dead
or alive, of John F. Dietz and the FIVE
members of his family who repulsed Sher-
III GylandS force in desperate rife bat
tie, in which men fell on both sides
Swearing that he will never surrender
and defying the entire soldiery of the
State to drive him out, Dietz has retreat
ed inside his fort with his wife and chill
Gren, all heavily armed. He has provis-
ions to last three or four months and
thousands of rounds of ammunition. That
he would give battle TO the State troops,
undismayed by the odds against him, is
believed certain. Thomas Rice, the cook
for the party of officers that went to
arrest Dietz, has returned to Chippewa
Falls, the party having given up the idea
of taking Dietz. Rice says the story of
the battle was not exaggerated. There
was fifteen minutes of terrific fighting and
the SIX members of the Dietz family with
rifles waged against the seven officers an
incessant fusillade of bullets which tore
through the trees on the Dietz farm. Dietz
informed the men that he had enough am
munition to last three months and intend
ed TO use it. He has a strong fort and
will resist.

KNIFE TO PREVENT CRIME.
Philadelphia Physicians Perform
Operations on Seven Children

Following the theories of the country
foremost physicians and the recent rul-
lngs IN the Juvenile courts the Pennsyl-
vanla Society for the Protection of Chill
dren from Cruelty, working in conjune-
ton with Director Coplin of the bureau
OF health and charities, and Chief Abbott
OF the bureau of health, has instituted the
practice OF performing operations upon
children given into its charge when medi-
cal opinion IS rendered that such course
is likely TO prevent a criminal career.
This IS the first effort of the sort ever
made in this country.
The subjects of the experiments were
operated on at the infrmary of the society
IN Philadelphia. Seven children were
put under the knife by the city's most
prominent surgeons. who performed opera
tons calculated 70 improve the mental
and moral condition of the patients.
The physicians who either participated
or were interested in the operations were
Dr. ;. Weir Mitchell. Dr. A c. Abbott,
DR.. George W. Dougherty. DIR. F. H Der
cum, Dr. ". ". Hawke. DIR. Alfred Cor
don. DIR. Charles K. Mills. DIR. Louis
Starr and DR.. Fred Freley.
While only seven children were operat-
ed upon. DIR. L. c. Vessels and DIR. A.
{. Butcher, who were detailed to the task
by Director Coplin. have examined .4O7
cases which were brought into the tempo
rary custody of the society, and other sim
liar operations will take place shortly
provided the consent of the parents can
be secured.
OF the total number examined about 30
per cent were found to be suffering from
retractlon of the eyes and glasses have
been ordered for all of these
White conducting the examinations the
physicians made most minute inquiries
into the past history of the children and
their parents, as we'll as regarding their
present health
DR.. Alfred Gordon reported that he has
discovered a surprisingly large number Of
cases of feeble minded children, supposed
to be the victims of cruelty. who are. in
reality, IN a condition bordering closely
upon imbecility, and calling for constant
care OF character which the busy par.
ents are unable to give them.
