She glanced up quickly, interested

stationed at Fort Lincoln, somewhere
farther north. He used to come down

DIAMONDS BY TON OR SWINDLE.
Parisian Claims He Can Manufacture
parklers-Courts Investigating.

PARIS, Jan. 21.-Whether the secret
of manufacturing diamonds III CONNER
cial quantities has been discovered, or
certain Parisians have been made the
victims of a swindle more ingenious
than the Humbert safe mystery, is a
question which the courts are trying to
solve All hinges on a supposed secret
possessed by a prisoner named Lemoine,
and he prefers to languish in a cell on
the charge of swindling Sir Julius Wern-
her out of 100000 to revealing his
method.
Lemoine's formula for the manufac-
ture of diamonds is securely locked up in
a bank in London, the officials of which,
upon Lemoine's demand, refuse to de-
liver it to the French court, which de-
sires to make a trial of it's efficacy in
the presence of experts who are now ex-
amining specimens of diamonds Lee
moine claims to have manufactured.
Meanwhile Lemoine, who, a few years
ago, was canvasser for an advertising
firm, but who, since he began his pres
ent operations, has lived luxuriously in
a magnificent house in the Rue Pigalle,
languishes in Jail, offering if released to
repeat his experiments and prove the
legitimacy of his invention.

The Way They Do at Fairs.

A recent German paper gives an an
ecdote of a man who strayed into
charity bazaar" and had a trying
experience.
He had made several quite unsatis-
factory purchases, not knowing how TO
refuse the demands of the pretty sales
women, and at last, to prove that he
could make one sensible investment, he
bought small match box, and carried
it off in triumph and haste.
Examining it after he had left the
booth he discovered that there was no
place on which to light the matches.
So. with the air of one determined
not to be cheated, he marched back to
the young lady of whom he had bought
the box.
"There Is a mistake here" he said.
"You sold me this pocket match box,
and there is no place on it to scratch
the matches"
"Mv dear sir" said the young lady,
"you are quite right; l made a mis-
take. That is intended for jewel box,
and costs so cents more, if you please"
"And what did you do?' asked a
friend to whom he related his tale OF
woe.

nI,ed the other, in an aggr1eved tone,

MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH.
House Applauds Effort of Third District
Member Coming During Debate
on immigration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-
Especial - Representative Murphy of
the Third district of Wisconsin was in
fast company when he made his maiden
speech yesterday, as he followed r.
Bourke Cochran and Representative
Hepburn, two famous congressional ora
tors. Although Mr.. Murphy did not
bask in the spot light more than ten
minutes, he was applauded warmly.
The House was considering a bill for
the erection of a new immigrant station
at Philadelphia. Mr.. Cochran spoke for
the bill and made an eloquent plea on
behalf of the strangers who come to our
shores. He was followed by Mr. Hep
burn, who took the position that there
should be further restriction.
1t was at this point that Mr.. Murphy
jumped into the oratorical arena: He
said there was great demand for la
Dor all over Wisconsin. Thousands of
acres of cut-over lands in that state were
awaiting the arrival of men from Eu-
rope to cultivate them. Immigrants
the farms and in the cities, and to as
sist in building up our civilization, in
creasing our wealth and expanding our
business.
Mr. Murphy said that the present laws
amply safeguarded' Americans against
did come should be treated as human be-
ings. He declared that seven European
languages were spoken in his congress
sional district and that none Of the for
eigners there could be classed as unde-
sirable. He did not think criticism of
the Italian immigrants was we'll found
ed. Some of the best miners in the
world were Italians. They had built
the tunnel through the Alps and now
were working in the mines of Wiscon-
sin and other states with an energy and
thrift worthy of emulation. If they had
returned to Europe in great numbers it
was not due to lack of employment here,
but rather to the fact that the greed Of
American fnanciers had made it impos-
sble for them to protect the fruits Of
their labor.
my father" said Mr.. Murphy, came
here as an Irish immigrant in a day
when the American people were demand
ing men Of his kind. He helped to build
the railroads. He helped to dig the mines
and he helped to open up the farms. In
my opinion. the country has been none
the worse for his coming, and / do not
think it proper to slam the door in the
face of those who are seeking shelter
and opportunity now"

PRIEST LOSES HOME
FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE OF THE
REV. FATHER RUHMAN.
Carpenters Working on New Church
Form Bucket Brigade but Eff
forts Are Unsuccessful.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Jan. 1S.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The priests house at Holy Apos-
ties Catholic church, eight miles from
this city in the town of New Berlin,
occupied by Rev. Father Ruhman, was
totally destroyed by fire at s o'clock
Friday afternoon. The fire started from
the chimney and the house was burneS
to the ground. The Holy Apostles church
was struck by lightning on July lasU
and subsequently destroyed by fire. 1t
is now being rebuilt. The priests house
stood about fifty feet east of the
church. Carpenters working on the new
church formed bucket brigade but Y
unsuccessful in combating the flames, a.
there was heavy wind blowing at the
time. A part of the contents was saved.
The house was built about thirty years
ago and cost over $4,000. The loss is
thought to be covered by insurance.

MACHINIST MET Deaf.
Frank Stirmel Caught in Boring Machine
at West Allis-Body Found
by Helper.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. IS, 1907
Frank Stirmel, aged IS years, en-
ployed at the Allis-Chalmers plant, was
caught in a boring machine between the
parallel bar on the machine and feed
ing rod and his neck instantly broken.
The body fell into a pit under the ma
chine, where it lay until his helper re-
turning from an errand, found it. The
exact manner in which Stirmd met his
death will never be known, as it is re-
ported that no one saw the accident.
Stirmel had been repairing the machine
during his helpers absence and is be-
lieved to have inadvertently thrust his
head into the machinery while bending
over. In an instant his neck was
wrenched and he fell dead.
The accident occurred at 1855 at the
West Allis plant, shortly after the man
had started work. He is married and
was living with his family at $40 Or
chard street.

LYNCHED; STILL LIVES.
Negro, Strung Up and Left for Dead by
Mob, Cut Down and Faces
Legal Moose.

GOTHAM, Ala, Jan. 21.-Grover
Franklin, the negro who was hanged to
a tree by a mob of 200 masked men
on Sunday night, is now in the hands
of the legal authorities, alive, and will
this time by the law.
Franklin was seized ON Saturday
night at about o'clock by the mob.
The night before he had been caught
robbing a cash drawer of the mill of
cotton oil company. On being found he
shot and seriously wounded A. G. Faux,
the secretary-treasurer of the company.
lie was captured by Sheriff Butler
and a force of deputies and taken to
Jail.
In the meantime word of his attack
on Faux had run through the COM
munity. Two hundred men, heavily
armed and masked with black face
demanded the prisoner In the face of
such a force the sheriff was powerless
and the negro was seized by the mob.
He was dragged to the northern part
of the town, shrieking for mercy all the
while. Here he was given two minutes
he was swung up to the limb of a large
tree In the meantife Sheriff Butler had
gathered force of his deputies, re-en-
forced by a few lava biding citizens,
and this body was in hot pursuit. The
members of the mob, therefore, hurried
ly remounted their horses, fired a volley
of shots at the negro-riddling him, as
they believed dashed away.
On the arrival of the sheriff the negro
was cut down. 1t was found that he
was still alive. He was at once re-
moved to a hospital, where it is today
declared that he has good chance for
recovery. Faulk's condition is very Sc
rious. If he dies and the negro RECEIVERS
Franklin will, in all probability, once
more undergo the experience Of being
hanged.

GOING LOOKED GOOD.
so RICHARD DONOVAN FORGOT TO
SAY GOODBYE.
Prisoner at Fond du Lac Jail Decided
to Be "On the Outside Look
ing In"

FOND DU LAC, Wis, JAN Oh
Especial. ]-Richard Donovan, who was
being held at the county Jail on a lar
ceny charge, having been discovered a
few days ago in the possession of har-
ness to which he could not explain a
clear title, yesterday afternoon beat
upon the bars of his cell with his tin
cup and in a petulant tone of voice an
nounced that he was anything but a
well man.
1nasmuch as Donovan carries hump
on his back and is not robust, the atten-
ton of Sheriff Dana was excited.
Come out here" said he, land let me
look at your tongue. You're just off
your feed a Bit" he concluded after an
examination. Give this guy a few
drops out of the green bottle that stands
next to the nux yomica dope, Jerry,
he ordered one of the undersheriffs.
so Donovan was escorted into the
sick bay" and stood there while the
drops" were being measured out.
His restless eye took in the fact that
the vista of scenery to be viewed through
the open back door of the room was
nothing less than alluring.
Il read somewhere in a book while
was located at Waupun about fresh
fields and pastures new I'm for that!'
thought he.
So he passed out, whistling merrily one
of Montgomery & Stones songs in '"The
Red Mill" entitled always Go While
the Going is Good"
AS he forgot to leave his address he
has not yet been apprehended. He once
did a considerable stretch" at the state
penitentiary in Waupun. It is not
thought, however, that he made for that
point.

1t was the end of the second week in

II it was a long one. He had not much
hair; what there was of it had a dirty,
sandy tint; his whiskers were hardly
distinguishable, they were so thinly
planted, and like his complexion. He
was dressed in tightly-buttoned frock

breathing. In one hand he held his hat,
in the other a pair of gloves, and both
rested on his knees, which, by reason of
their shortness and pudginess, were wide
