ASYLUM ATTENDANT
INHERlTS FORTUNE
Man Who Worked in Waukesha Hos
pital Goes to England to
Claim It.

WAUKESHA, Wis, July 19.-[Spe
cial. STANLEY r. 81. Keeling, employed
for four years as an attendant in one of
the wards at the county insane asylum,
has gone to England to claim a fortune
Of $4,000. Keeling is well known in
this city, where he has made his home
for a number of years. About two
weeks ago he saw an advertisement in
a magazine which had been running
since February, in which he was men
toned as one of the heirs to the estate.
He subsequently learned from an uncle
that his father died last February while
on a trip to California. The money
which he is to receive is 10000 from
his fathers estate in New York; $50, 900
from his grandfather in London, and
$4,000 from all uncle also in London.
He has three brothers and two sisters
who, it is said, will also receive large
amounts. For some time Keeling had
told friends that he would some day in
herit fortune, but the story was doubt
ed. Letters which he received before
leaving for England prove that his state
ments were TRUE.
Keelings mother died when he was a
small boy and disagreements with his
step-mother resulted in his leaving home
when he was II years of age and enter
ing the navy. He had had no commu-
nication with any Of his relatives for
thirty years until two months ago. On
leaving for England Mr.. Keeling was
accompanied by his brothers.

DETAILS OF DISASTER LACKING.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 19.-New
Richmond, Wis, is threatened with to-
tai destruction by fire. Two fire engines
and ten fremen have been sent from
st. Paul to aid the burning city and
Saltwater, Mimi, has also been ap-
pealed to for aid. The city of New
Richmond was almost totally destroyed
about a dozen years ago by tornado
The city was rebuilt with modern ex-
pensive buildings.
A special to the Dispatch from New
Richmond gave the following account OF
the fire:
Fire broke out at noon today in the
lumber yard of the Willow River Lum'
Der company. The mills are not threat
ened until the wind shifts but the hre
will probably sweep through the west
yard entailing heavy loss.
"st. Paul, Minneapolis and Saltwater
have been appealed to for assistance.
''The fire is now beyond control at
1905 p. M"
It was stated at the general offices OF
the Omaha railroad that the fire was
under control at o'clock.

NO BIDS ON DOME JOB.
State Will Have to Contract to Move
Capitol Crest to the Main
Hall

MADISON. Wis, July 19.-[Special.l
After advertising for six weeks COM
mittee of the capitol building commission
met today to find that no bids for the
taking down of the dome on the old cap
itol building and removing it to Main
hall had been received.
The time for the presentation of bids
expired a week ago, but the local COM
mittee men, Magnus S~enson and Gov.
Davidson, did not have an opportunity
to meet until this noon.
No reason has been found why no
bids for the work were received, but it
is believed the work was considered too
hazardous. The state will Immediately
find a contractor who will do the work.
The last Legislature passed q bill au-
thorizing the construction of a new cap
itol and appropriated $4,000 for the
removal of the dome from the old cap
itol to Main hail.
Gov. Davidson will remain in Madison
until next Wednesday, when he will go
to Camp Douglas.

MELILLA, Morocco, July 20.-The at
tack by Moorish tribesmen on the Span
ish forces Saturday afternoon was exc
cuted under cover of a feint on the front,
but was in reality directed against the
Spanish flank. The first charge was re-

turing the Spanish battery. The Mooro

tics. They dashed forward in small
squads. Many of the tribesmen succeed
ed in breaking through the barbed wire
entertainments, where they fell at the
mouths of the cannon after hand to hand
fighting. It was O'clock on Sunday
morning when the Moors finally retired
The Moors numbered 5000, the French
and Spanish a total of 1000.
Gen. Marina, commander of the Span
ish force in Morocco, was in the thick OF
the struggle encouraging his men, who
fought heroically. Capt. Guiloche and
Maj Roya were killed defending a bat
terry The Moors bore off several bodies
with the intention of burning them, but
the Spaniards made a sOrtie and recap
tured the bodies.

IN FOSTER-LOTHMAN YARD.
Millions of Feet of Lumber Estimated
Loss in Fire Said to Have
Been Set.

SINKSIN NEW YORK BAY
Freighter Goes Down with Cook and Her
Baby Sitting Safely on
After Deck.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The Martha
Stevens, a steam freight propeller, be-
longing to the Trenton Transportation
company of Trenton, n. J., collided with
the tug Confidence of the Southern Pa
cific Steamship company in upper New
York bay today and sank almost imme-
diately. Her crew of seven men besides
the colored cook and her baby were all
rescued except Zachariah Logue of
Boundbrooh, n. j., the second engineer.
Logue's companions tried to keep him
afoat, but he slipped out of their hold
and was drowned.
The collision occurred in the Greenville
channel between Staten island and the
Brooklyn shore. The tug struck the
freighter bow-on tearing an immense
hole and the Stevens went down SO
quickly that the crew did not even have
time to climb to the afterdeck which
remained just above the water when the
boat rested on the bottom in the 3O-fOot
channel. Rebecca Brown, the cook, sue
ceeded in taking her 3-year-old daugh,
ter to this refuge. The men of the crew
were picked up as they swan or chung to
bits of wreckage.
The police boat patrol went to the aid
of the Confidence which was unchanged
by the collision and together they took
up the survivors and transferred them
to the municipal ferryboat Gowanus,
which landed them at st. Georges, on
Staten island. Several were unconscious.
Capt. Edward B. Foster of the Ste
vens was placed under arrest under the
technical charge of homicide. A SINH
lar warrant will be issued against the
captain of the Confidence.
The Martha Stevens was an old wood
en- steamer 1870 feet long. She was load
ed with wire.

OSCAR WILDE'S REMAINS.
The Body Will Be Removed to PERI
Lachaise, Paris.

From an obscure grave in the cemetery
of Bagneux in Paris the remains of Os-
car Wilde will be transferred to Pere-
Lachaise When he died alone in Paris
in 1900 his body was placed in the Bag
neux cemetery with practically no funer-
al rites. Now the revulsion of feeling in
England has enabled his friends to do
what they have been planning for years,
namely, to place Oscar Wilde's body in
Pere-Lachaise, where many great writ
ers and artists are buried.
The legal formalities in connection with
the purchase in perpetuity of grave in
this cemetery have all been carried out
by Robert Ross, Wilde's friend, executor
and biographer, and a monument to the
memory Of the dead man is on the point
of completion. This monument, which
is symbolic of the literary genius of
Wilde, is the work of a young Russian
sculptor, Jacob Epstein.
The removal of the body will take
place next month and a funeral cere-
mony will be held. Many of the writer
friends and admirers in London Will
Journey to Paris to be present.
The children of Oscar Wilde are being
brought up in absolute ignorance as to
their real name or parentage. They live
in the country under care of relatives.
If the reaction of the last few years con-
tinues to spread it is probable that they
will be informed of their real name and
will take their places in the London

Watering Greenhouse Plants.

For the guidance of those who are in
experienced in plant culture it may be
stated that no greenhouse plant should
become quite dry at the roots from May
to October. If plant does not actual

as the roots can no longer draw up
moisture; therefore there is a distinct
loss of time, a certain amount of the
