Squabble Over Scoring.
Since the pay for the scorers was
increased there has been a merry
scramble in some of the cities for the
lob, which before has not been very
desirable on account of the pay. Mr..
Peckham notified all of the associa-
lions to recommend some man for APP
pointment next year, and told them at
the same time that In case those assoc
Citations in towns where there is a
morning paper did not do so, he would
appoint the representative of morning

both Keokuk and Burlington. Both
applicants in Burlington kept the mails
hot for days, but the morning papers

Keokuk has not yet been made.

Murder in the first degree" was
the verdict Of the jury in the case Of
John Schidiofskas. who was on trial
in Boston. Mass. last week for the
murder Of his wife. The trial COM
menced Monday morning. March. 18th
and was concluded the following
Saturday night. the jury being out
two hours John Schidlofskas was
charged with the murder of his wife
at Brockton. Mass. a suburb Of
Boston. on July 18th. and was cap
tured by Sheriff Barr in La Junta a
few days later while on his way to
California. The murder was most
brutal one, the head Of the woman
being nearly severed from her body
with a penknife.
In La Junta Schidlofskas made a
complete confession of the crime.
claiming that he had married his
wife a few months previous for her
money. MY wife didn't have as
much money as | imagined" said
Schidlofskas in this city few days
after his capture. 'She told me her
savings in the bank amounted to
$500. and later found the sum TO be
only $40. She lied to me about
her money and also about her age.
being forty years old instead of
twenty-eight years. as she claimed.
| expect to be hung. but ] am not
afraid to die"
On the opening of the trial Schid-
ofskas looked the picture of misery
when he took his place in the dock.
He was nervous and terror stricken.
not seeming TO realize what was GO
ing on and the proceedings frighten-
ed him as they would child. His
face was covered with a thick
growth of beard and his hair was
long and unkmept. He had refused
to have his hair cut or razor to
touch his face. Although a bar
Der by trade it is said he recoils at
the sight OF razor or any other
edged instru nent. The above is
the substance of the description Civ
en- of che murderer by the Boston
yellow journals during the trial.
Sheriff George Barr was on the
witness stand last Thursday and told
the story of Schidlofska's capture in
this city last July and Of his subse-
quent confession of the crime. The
Boston Post of that date contained
an alleged likeness of our sheriff. II
was duly labelled as otherwise his
friends would hardly have recogniz-
ed it. the picture will be preserved
in the archives at the courthouse.
The description given by the Post Of
our sheriff is good enough to repro
duce. and is as follows: "A giant in
stature. his every move suggesting
strength and vigor. the swarthy-
skinned law up-holder of the plains
gave evidence which held his audi
ence.'
Our sheriff achieved fame and dis
tinction in Boston. and by the time
he hobnobs with the Tammany
chief in New York and the president
at Washington. viii hardly deign
to notice ordinary mortals here st
home. He will probably arrive home
the latter part Of next week.

LOCAL OPTION DEFEATED.
THlly- WainsoTght Bill Fails an As
SembIy ErciSe Committee.
fBy rele-raph 10 The Tribune.l !

Albany April 4-The Assembly Excise Com
mttee to-day defeated the Tully- Wainwright
local option bill by vote Of 10 4. AS final
effort at compromise Assemblyman ONeill Of
fered an amendment providing that residential
districts in which the local option vote might
be taken should in no case include less than an
entire election district. Mr.. Wainwright refused
to permit the change.
Assembyman Wainwright, IL is understood.
appeared before the committee to-day and in
formed the members that. much he disliked
to do IL, he would be compelled to move for the
committees discharge from further considera-
ton of the bill if they failed to report It, AS
semblyman Wainwright tonight said he would
not move TO discharge the committee until the
latter part of next week. which is understood to
indicate that he intends to make another effort
TO have the committee act favorably the
measure before he takes final action.
No measure before this Legislature had greater
influence behind it. At the outset the Anti
Saloon League sought pledges of support from
every legislator and from the Governor and
most of the other state officers. The campaign
in favor of the bill was opened before the Speak
er was elected. and it was announced that Mr..
Wadsworth had received the support of the
league for his pledge 10 stand for the bill. Re-
ligious and temperance societies throughout the
state held mass meetings and sent representa-
tives by the hundred to the hearing on the
measure.
The Senate committee refused to report the
bill unless it amended so as to close out
saloons by vote at a special election instead OF
on majority petition. Unless the Rules Com
mittee IN the Assembly can be prevailed on to
send the bill to a vote it will not be heard OF
again this year.
