A prosperous looking young farmer,
named Eckman from Lorraine, bent on
having good time, wandered into the
National hotel Tuesday afternoon with
male companion, and proceeded to
start a trough house." He started in
by getting fresh" with the landlady,
Mrs. H. Davis, as she afterwards ex-
pressed 1t to Judge Murray and accord
mig to the womanis story, beat and
checked her and called her vile names,
and also administered the same dose
to one OF the girls employed at the
hotel. Mrs. Davis says she ordered
Eckman from the hotel, and for time
ne refused TO go. She went to her
room and procuring revolver, went
after the farmer in a furious manner,
shooting at him number OF times,
even after he had left the building. She
says that she saw Eckman flourish
gun and says she believed that he
also shot a number OF times. Neither
one was injured. Both were placed
'nder arrest and taken ITO the city Jail
" here a hearing was held Immediately.
The judge questioned them both, as

the man, Chief Of Police Hyland filed
a complaint of disorderly conduct and
EcFnan put up cash bond of $50 for
his appearance in Murray's court the

OATS CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
Reports From the Northwest Show
That Recent Freeze Did no DAM
age-No Big Crop Looked for But
Yield Should be a Good Average
CrOp-Smaller Acreage Predicted.

Minneapolis, May 8-The first in
dication of tae condition of the oats
crop, which is second only to wheat
in Importance in the northwest, is
obtainable from the total of nearly
1000 letters received by John R.
Marf1eld of the Chamber of Com
merce from correspondents located
ovex a wide territory. Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Iowa and
Nebraska are included in the western
group of reports. When averaged
they show that the recent freeze did
no damage.
In these states the acreage sown to
oats is not so large as last year. This
is due probably to the desire Of the
farmers to seed other grains Of more
attractive price. Compared with last
years acreage the oats area is 96.S
per cent. This refers to seed actu-
ally In and also to land that will be
seeded, according to calculation,
when all the seed has been put in.
As to tn work actually done, it is
behind last year. About II per cent.
of the total area is already seeded,
and the work is progressing in the
most northerly districts.
Good reports came from 129 To-
calities where soil conditions are
close to perfection. Fair conditions
are found in 1873 places and 231 re-
ported the fields after seeding either

Dickens Characters.


Dickens bestowed many of his flcti-
tious names on real flesh and blood
personages, says an admirer Of the ia
nous novelist. Indeed he and: David
Copperfie1d we're not far apart, SO far
as salient features were concerned.
Tracy Tupman was the happy counter
felt Of man named Winters, who at
the present day would be pounded or
arrested for what is known in slang as
"mashing." Paul Dombey was an in
valid nephew Of the author, his right
name being Harry Burnett. Dora Cop
perfeld was a Miss Beadwell, with
whom Dickens was In love at the early
age of eighteen. Mrs. Bardell, who
gave Pickwick the worst time in his
life, was a scheming boarding house
widow named Ann Ellis. Tommy Trad
dies was Colonel Froom Talfourd, for
merly superintendent Of Indian affairs
In Canada. Miss Mowcher was q Miss
Wilkes, Mrs. Skewton a Mrs. Camp
bell; the abominable sQueers was WI:
liam Shaw; the lovely Cheeryble :bfotb.
ers were cotton spinners and merchants
Of Manchester; the fat boy was true
to life character, and so was Captain
Cutie. one Of the most attractive Of all.

be made. In the higher courts the
question as to whether the Pennsyl-
vania courts have jurisdiction in the
case of the woman, will it is said,
be strenuously tested.
Two ballots were taken by the jury
in the case of the woman today. The
first was eleven for conviction and
one for acquittal. TIE second was
unanimous for conviction in second
count charging her with being aces
sorry.
When Mrs. Boyle left the court
house, after her conviction, number
of persons were in front of the build
ing, but there was no dem0nstra-
ton. Mrs. Boyle, who has displayed
remarkable nerve and indifference
since her arrest at Cleveland, main

The Chinese 8ampans,


In Canton 100000 people spend their
whole existence in boats, which are
there called sampans. They are born
in them, live in them from infancy to
old age and finally die in them. Col.
lectively these boats form a floating
suburb to the city proper, one Of the
most amazing human settlements in
the world. Every creek is crammed
with them. Along the main banks of
the river they are huddled twenty deep
so close together that the covering
Of mats appears continuous as far as
the eye can reach. And each sampan
houses separate family, with its own
big brazier lamp, which serves TOR
heating, lighting and cooking the even
ing meal. The scene when a really
serious confagration once gets a prop
er hold in the midst of these floating
wooden homes may be imagined. Els
cape is impossible except for those
moored at the outermost edge. In one
of these CONGREGATIONS over a thou
sand persons lost their lives.

The Smooth WAY,

In the last generation Tyler Cobb
Esq, was a well known citizen OF
North Bridgewater, now Brockton
Mass. He was famous throughout
Plymouth county for his witty retorts
and dry humor.
Never having taken sea trip, Mr..
Cobb one day conceived the idea of
making a voyage to New York. Ac-
cordingly he sailed from Boston in a
small schooner. The first day out a
storm was encountered and Mr.. Cobb
became violently sick, but after sew
eral hours he mustered up courage and
strength to look out upon the troubled
waters.
As he looked from the side Of the
little ship up the trough Of the sea it
seemed very smooth to him. The cap
tain's cutting of the waves was sense
less, he told himself. But as this mad
steering continued the unhappy pas
senger finally crawled out on hands
and knees to where the captain stood
at the wheel and, raising his voice
above the din Of waves and wind,
shouted:
MAN, man, keep in the ruts, keep In
the rutS!'
A Suit Of Ratstin.
A thrifty Welshman at one time ex-
hibited himself publicly in England at
tired in q costume composed from top
to bottom Of ratskins, which he had
spent three years and half in collect
ing. The dress was made entirely by
himself. It consisted Of hat, necker-
chief, coat, waistcoat trousers, tippet,
CATERS and shoes. The number Of
rats required to complete the suit was
$40. Most curious Of the garments
was the tippet, composed entirely Of
rats tails.

HUGO COMEDY REVIVAL
RECALLS FAMILY TRAGEDY
BY A. w. L'AMOUREUX

PARIS, Aug. 28.-"Le Roi s'Amuse'
is to be revived at the Comedie Fran
caise, and at this revival of Victor
Hugos play a box will be reserved for
the poets daughter. Adele Hugo. The
story of Adele Hugo is tragedy. She
lives with one companion in house
at Neuilly, and from one weeks end to
another never speaks a word. She is An
old woman now, and although she is
neither dumb nor insane, she has
spoken no word since she was twenty
years of age. Now and again the fancy
box is hired for her, in which she sits
with her companion without Word,
without a smile, without a gesture
evincing enjoyment.
The most curious thing about Adele
Hugo is that no one knows exactly
what were the details of her life's
tragedy. When she was is years of
age she ran away from her fathers
house in Guernsey with an English
man-an officer i'll the army. This
much is known, although the name of
the officer in question has never been
disclosed. His daughters disappear
ance was a terrible grief to the poet,
who spent large sums of money looking
for her. After nearly two years Adele
Hugo was found wandering about the
streets of New York saying: Il am
Victor Hugo's daughter; help me-" She
was sent back to her father, but she
has never spoken since and no one
knows exactly what she suffered,
though one may guess that her suf-
ferings have been terrible.
