Marshalllown. on the line of the North
western , Is principally famous for being the
tioiuo of Anson , tlio Chicago base bull king.
Four years IIRO Murshnlltown wan ix bright
mid flourishing llttlu city of over nine thous
and inhabitants , rind wns rapidly crowing ,
but to-dny a deathly quint reigns thurc , and
the population lias shrunk to about eight
thousand. There Is but llttlo business ac
tivity noticeable In the place , while there la
n surprisingly largo nuinbnrof vnonnt store
rooms itnd private residences. The manu
facturing ItitorcslH of the city have
narrowed down to the Kctchcm
Wagon works , im extensive concern ,
two or three wagon ntid carriage
manufactories , and u glucose factory , whcro
four yearn ago the place gave promise of be
coming a busy muiiufucturlng mart. Of
course there arc a nuuibor of smaller cstab-
lishmenlx In addition to those named , buj ,
they do not abound with sufficient frequency
to give thu city any unusual prestige on this
source. Mar.-Jhnlltown , despite all draw
backs , Is vet a very attractive town , and her
citizens arc ranked with the very best in the
state. It has it magnificent court house and
elegant new opor.v house , bosldus several
other Imposing structures , and the citizens
nro nil prudlctliiR bettor times for the place.
They seem to think that the dillleultios that
urono out of the prohibitory law are about
ridged over , and that a new era of peace
and prosperity is about to dawn , not only in
Marshalltown , but the whole state of
Iowa. However , notwithstanding the
roseate view being taken Jover hero now ,
there are but few indications of business
activity about the city , and real estate is way
down.
I had a long talk with Mr. T. D. McElroy ,
n well known and well-to-do citizen. He re
sides in one of the handsomest dwelling
houses In the city , which was built three
years ago by Colonel .1. It. Howler , president
of the National Hotel Keepers association ,
ut a cost of SU.OOO. The structure is a
beautiful one , with all the most modern im
provements and conveniences , and was
bought by Mr. MoKlroy six months since for
$5,300. "Thai will give you some sort of an
Idea , nt least , of Murslialltown real estate
valuations. Then I have another house
which cost mo $2,500 , for which I am now
unable to get $1,000 , and my property
Is no exception to the general
rule. What became of Colonel Uowler } Ho
went to California. Why , in the last sixteen
months , some seventeen or eighteen as good
families as wo have In the city have removed
to California , and from the county there
was a veritable exodus. Now , I am a resi
dent of Marshulltown and would bo a man
of llttlo judgment alul foresight to spoilt do-
relatively of her. Hut facts are facts , and
the people are entitled to them when search
ing for the cause of the depression that holds
sway In nil Iowa towns. This condition of
things was brought about by this alleged
prohibitory law , anil nothing else , and there
is not n man , woman or child In the state
but what knows It full well. Is the law en
forced hero ! They say It Is , but you see we
have oxporionxod no trouble in getting- what
ilrinks wo'vo wanted. A great deal of both
beer nnd whisky are sold on the sly hero ,
nnd this was one of the great original package -
ago cities that is beer and whisky was
peddled about the streets for a long while
after the enforcement of the law , done up in
neat packages , and sold for medicine. In
deed it Is still possible to obtain these orlgl
inal packages , although the authorities are-
'onto the racket now. ' Hut let mo toll you
of one of the gravest evils that has hail Its
origin In this prohibition , and that Is the
organization in every city or town of note in
the state , of social clubs by grown boys and
youngmen. . These clubs are called through
out the state 'the Kid clubs. ' It Is Just like
this , you see. Twenty or twenty-five young
boys get together and band themselves into
a club , and rent rooms on the sky lloor of
some bulldlnc , where they will be freer
from observation and molestation , and then
congregate at night , and not only debauch
themselves with beer and whisk/ , which
they have no dillloulty In purchasing by the
quantity , but they pass the hours until late
In the night over the gaming table. Yes ,
sir , it Is making gamblers and drunkards ,
too , out of many of our boys. There are
tbrco or four of these clubs In Marshall-
town , nnd It Is my actual belief that this
prohibitory law In Iowa has made uioro
gamblers in the last three years than would
be created In Nebraska under her laws in
t'vonty. Everybody knows what gambling
loads to It Is oven a greater curse than in
temperance , No , I do not think that drunken
ness has decreased to any appreciable
measure hero under the law. Anybody that
wants n drink can got it ; nnd I sen about as
much drunkenness In the streets to-day as I
did three years ago. So far iw Marshalllown
is concerned , I can't say anything In favor of
tlio law. "

Pun.ti > r.i.i'iiu , Feb. It. The llnaing of a
murdered woman in the northeastern section
of the city with a bullej , wound in her head
at nunnight last night , has led to a terrible
tragedy. About 'J o'clock this morning
Henry Klaus , becoming alarmed nt his
daughter's absence , went to the police sta
tlon to report the fact. He was horrilled to
Hurt that the murdered girl was his daughter
Anna , aged nineteen. Inquiry among Miss
Klaus' fricmls revealed the fact that she had
boon keeping company witli a street car con
ductor known ns Tom Linn , but no such
person could bo found. Further inquiry
revealed the identity of "Linn" ns Otto
ICnyscr , twenty-live years of age , who lived
with his wife and two children at Kensing
ton and Leliigh avenues. The police sus
pected that ho was the murderer , and went
to his house to arrest him. As no reply came
to their repeated knocks , the olllcers wore
about to break open the door , when it was
hastily opened anil they were met by a
woman in her night clothing , with blood
streaming from her throat , and n baby In
her arms. In the bedroom , stretched on a
bed , with a razor at his side , lay ICnyscr , the
blood pouring from a fatal wound in his
neck.
The circumstances surrounding the case
were fully convincing that Kayser was the
murderer of Miss Klaus , nnd when ho saw
the otllecrs coming to arrest him he
seized the ra/.or , and after making
un ineffectual attempt to kill his
wlfo ho ended his own life with the same
wcauon. The most plausible story of the
affair Is ttiat Ivavscr , who passed himself off
as an unmarried man , has been keeping com
pany with Miss Klaus under an assumed
name , and she had discovered the truth , and
having met him while on her own way homo
from a bakery last night , threatened nim
with exposure. Ho thereupon shot her , and
rather than submit to arrest , killed himself.
Mrs. Ka.vsor's wounds , though dangerous ,
arc not necessarily fatal.
A NOVKlj SCHEME.
An Illinois Ijcclslutor'H Solution oftlio
Snlcxui Questions.
Si'iiiNOFJEi.i ) , 111. , Fob. 3. The prohibition
lobby hero is thoroughly organized , nnd will
bring inlluenco to bear in full force on the
13th instant , when the joint resolution comes
up for consideration In the senate. They
claim to have a majority of the senators on
their Hide , and express full contldcnco that
the resolution will bo passed by the upper
house. In connection with this question
Senator Hamer , of Fulton , thinks ho has a
solution of the Mtloon problem. Ho argues
that the best way to stop the sales of saloons
until the prohibitory law ns enacted is to
deprive cities of the revenue derived from
saloon licenses. With this object in view ,
ho has prepared a bill which amends the
dram-shop act by providing that when a sa
loon license Is granted , the fee , instead of
going into tlio city , town or village treasury ,
shall bo paid to the county. Ho has many
plausible reasons why such a step would bo
successful in narrowing down thn saloon
nuisance. He assorts , also , that such a law ,
while it would greatly decrease the revenue
of cities , would also lessen the need of po
lice duties , for , with the abolishment of
saloons , other lawless elements would seek
more comfortable quarters.

A SINOOljAI FATAIjtTY.
Four Glilnninuii Hcnldcd to Dentil by
a CC.THIH- .
CiinvRXNR , Wyo. , Feb. 3. News was re
ceived hero to-dny of a most singular fatal
ity , by whlcn four CHlimmcn lost their lives.
They were at Canyon City , near Yellow
stone park , and Yet Sing had established a
wash house in n tent directly over the boil
Ing springs. Ho had hot water constantly ,
and was doing it Rood business. On Wednes
day ho and thrco other Mongolians , who
came from adjoining camps , cclcor.itcd the
Chinese Now Years. They burned lire crack
ers and offerings to Joss , nnd wound up by
getting drunk. Yet Slug had been cau
tioned about the boiling spring , and
told that it might bo a slumbering
geyser. For this reason his wash tubs were
kept on the other sldo of the tent , so that no
soap might disturb the qmct boiling water.
No ono knows how Yet Sing's box of laun
dry soap got overturned Into the spring , and
it Is more than probable that some mischiev
ous miner emptied the soap into the slum
bering goysor. That night there was a sud
den spouting of the boiling water , a tent
Hying through the air and piercing yells.
The miners rushed up nnd found the geyser
pouring water to a height of over u hundred
feet. The bodies of four Chinamen , scalded
to death , were found later at some distance
from the scene. The go.vscr spouted for
three hours and then .subsided.

VIENNA , Fob. 3. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tin : HEE. ] A great sensation
has been caused here by the death of a beau
tiful young baroness. The event occurred
during last Thursday night , the night of
Crown Prince Rudolph's death. It was not
known until to-day that the young victim
took poison , not in her father's houso. not in
Vienna , but at Moyerling , where the crown
prince committed suicide. The two acts
seem to have been almost simultaneous , and
RO to strongly support the rumors that
Rudolph's suicide is duo to an unfortunate
liason.

places constables have been intimidated and
threatened , and at the latter place a card
was attached to the dcor of E. L. Rice's
bookstore , on whioh was written in red ink

is the general opinion that these outrages are
pcrpotratud by persons seeking private re

If the caucus instructions nro to bo strictly

OAIIINET SPBCUI.ATIOy.
Cabinet talk is still'tho ' order of the day ,
and since Senator Allison has determined to
remain in the senate , speculation turns to
the tilling of the secretaryship of the treas

the Now York men nra nguin to the front
with Pintle nnd Miller1 , nnd if neither of
them can get it , withsHiscock. MclClnlcy
has been suggested. buthc , said to mo to

ident-elect would profor,3ohn C. New , nnd
if ho is not selected , it will bo because other
Indiana men light him. } .New was Ilrst as
sistant secretary nnd was a first class ofllccr ,
nnd would bring experience to the ofllco.
If Allison had accepted , .the election ot his
successor in the son ta'would have caused a
bltlor factional light , hi Iowa that would
have injured the republican party.
There is no wnrrautffor the widely pub
lished statement thuttho democratic mem
bers of the house coqimlttco on ways und
means are nt work uponin compromise tariff
bill or that they havo.njny notion of proposing
a compromise. Mr. Bymim. of Indianapolis ,
who is ono of the representative majority
members of the committee , said this evening
on the subject : "Wo Jintond to report the
senate substitute to the Mills bill back to the
house , but it will , iioti be within n day or
two or a , Aveck , . It will
bo after wo have receivod'a report from the
treasnry department of to the effect of the

when wo have hifd , tlmo to analyze
the bill and write a report. It may bo
within two weeks. Whether there will bo
time then for final action you know ns well
as I da. There has boon nothing said any
where about a compromise. How could n
compromise bo effected" where the two houses
nro so far apart ! "
"Could it not bo based upon the internal
revenue features of , .the Mills and senate
bills } " t
' 'No , " was the ready answer , "and 1 will
tell you why. I , for ono , und many others
occupy the same position I do , nm opposed to
reducing the revenuo'tyy ' the abolition or re
vision of the tobacco iax. I want a reduction
of the Import taxes. JMy constituents want
cheaper clothing , cheaper manufactures gen
erally and cheaper things to eat , not cheaper
tobacco. The internal , taxes must bo main
tained till wo have lower-priced imports.
While the republicans may bo willingto keep
up the present Import dues and to abolish
tobacco taxes , simply.to reduce the income of
tbo government , I am not , nnd I nm quite
sure that there nro .enough of the members
on the committee of the same frame of mind
to defeat u compromise on the two bills.
Why , we could effect1 a compromise on the
present laws easier than on the two tnriff
bills. No , n compromise is altogether out of
the question. "
OF INTHIlCSt TO SOI.DIEIIS.
During the very first days of tbis congress
Representative Sujelo Introduced In tbo
house a bill to remove the charge of deser
tion against soldier ? .in the union army who
were technically marked as deserters , but
who really should hiivo clean records in the
war department. Mpjor Stcolo succeeded In
getting the bill through the house , nnd it
went to the senate. Whore it wus amended
and was afterwards thrown into n conference
committee. All attempts to get It out of this
conference committed have proved useless ,
and the bill still hangs between tbo two
houses. There [ is one old soldier -
dier connected t with the regular
army , nnd who ) is in the war
department , who opposes all measures lookIng -
Ing towards clearing up the records of voung
men who \vcre cjiarped with desertion ,
through ignorance of the law , and this man
has succeeded iu inducing Senator Cockrcll ,
a member of the conference committee , to
prepare a substitute ) to the Steal bill , which ,
through the onerous provisions attaching to
It , practically defeats the measure from the
outset. Mr. Cockrdll has submitted this bill
to the war uopurtiii nt for Its approval , and
if ho can get favorublo action there he will
try to have it ado. ted as the conference
fommitleo's substi , ute for the Steel bill ,
The idea is to keep the records of the union
soldiers as full of c 'rors as possible and to
especially make the nf show many deserters.
There Is a confeder i o clement at the baek
of this work.

over , to call your attention to the fortncom
ing report bulletin , No. SO of the fchomtcnl
division on the subject of sorghum sugar ,
especially that part of It In regard to climatic
conditions. It npponrs fiom our experiments
that Kansas is the most northern state for
sorghum sugar. Further north than this the
early frosts appear to bo very dangerous ,
cutting short the manufacturing sonson and
rendering uncertain the saving of the crop.
Our exnoHinonts have gone far enough now
to demonstrate the fact that under proper
conditions nnd with proper machinery ,
sorghum sugar can bo made nt n prollt ,
There Is also another point to which I de
sire to call your attention , and that is , that
some partlons of your state appear to bo well
united to the culture of the sugar ho.it. Sam
ples of boots grown at Grand Island , Nob. ,
nnd analyzed In the chemical division of the
department during the past season , showed
over 1IJ jmrU of sugar , indicating a
boot especially well suited for the
manufacture of sugar. There are so many
dangers of failure in attempts to make sugar ,
that every condition should bo carefully con
sidered before private capital is Invested In
the enterprise. This careful study wo have
endeavored to make In bulletin No. 20 , and
the results of this study , wo hope , will bo of
great benefit to intending Investors In the
sugar Intcrprlsc. Hoping the information
contained In this letter nnd the bulletins
which I will send will prove satisfactory ,

sion of Ella Schwartz , wife of the brakeman

complicity ; in the great Hock Island train
robbery and murder of Express Messenger
Kellogp Tichols , Is made public to-day.
According to Mrs. Schwartz , her husbnild
gave her$13,5yOof the stolen money , which
stio concealed by rolling the bills up ono at a
tlnio nnd packing them in cartridge shells.
This money , it is ollcgo'd , was subse
quently , on an order from Schwartz ,
turned over to Colonel W. P. Bow
man , of Philadelphia , Schwartz's lawyer.
Anint rviaw.Jwith Detcetlvo W. A. Pinkerton -
orton Is printed , relating conversation's in
prison with Schwartz and the latter's com
rade , Newton Watt , which , if true , would
corroborate in a measure the charge against
Lawyer Howman. Pinkerton is also quoted as
having accused Bowman of receiving the
stolen money. The lawyer strenuously do-
iiied the charge. Mrs. Schwartz was some
time ago repudiated by her husband. She
died of consumption within the past fetv
days. The expenses of the funeral were de
frayed by the Pinkertons , who saw that the
woman was cared for up to the time of her
death.

Champion's Natural Advantages.
CHAMPION , Nob. , Fob. 3. [ Special to Tun
BEC.J If there is a spot in Western Ne
braska destined to bccomo a city of no small
magnitude , that place is Champion. Lo
cated as it is in the very best farming re
gions of the state , with an enterprising
farming public on either side of it , its busi
ness men and citizens generally u go-ahead
pushing people , and with a water power cer
tainly inexhaustible In its very midst , it
backs up the assertion that Champion is
destined to bccomo a city of no small magni
tude , and that , too , at no very distant day
Champion , though yet in her swadllug
clothes , a llttlo more than ono year old , is
recognized as ono of the loading business
points In southwestern Nebraska. And
what will it become in n few years more *
Let ono go to the head waters
of the Frenchman river nnd follow that
stream down the dculino to the easl , winding
and twisting in every conceivable direction ,
like u huge silvery serpent , receiving liuro
nnd there its spontaneous tribute of multi
tudes of never falling springs , besides the
sheet water it gathers on its craiiKy way.
Lot him follow this stream until it
reaches Champion and forms n lake , covering
over thirty acres of land , with a depth of
some twenty feet ; and If ho is not thoroughly
convinced of the grand future in store for
this place , his judgment is poor.
And it is hero on the bank of this beautiful
body of water that the Champion Holler
Mills company have erected u substantial
mill building 84x4(1 ( feet in hi/.e , three stories
high , which is now being supplied
with a comnlcto set of the latest
Improved- mill machinery by thu
Cockle Separator Manufacturing company of
Milwaukee , Wis. This will bo In complete
milling order within the next thirty days
rcady to manufacture a goodly portion of
southwestern Nebraska's wheat crop iuta
ho llncst quality of gilt edged Hour.
And 'besides this immense waterpower
with which Champion isso favorably blessed ,
It may justly boast of and pioudly point to ,
the farming lands with which it is sur
rounded , as rich and productive as ever mi-
Lura gave to man for transformation into a
voritnUo garden. "Tho Little Giant City"
needs have no fear as to her future.
Wo have a thorough going , pushing class
of people , and our members uro constantly
Doing augmented by enterprising men. The
hummer and HIIW are constantly at work ,
lew structures being built , others moved
from adjoining towns , while others still uro
jclnc repaired.
With all that nature has done for Cham-
> lon , coupled with the energy and enterprise
t her citizens , is it not reasonable to look
'orward to the building of ono or moro of the
ireat railroad systems now wending their
vay we. twardlnto this wonderfully blessed

Willow Springs , the county scat , was laid

This almost destroyed the plaeo , as every
business man , except C. H. Jones , removed
to the railroad. Jones staid , and still con
tinues to stav. The people of the county
have never deserted their "Ilrst love , " al
though often requested to do so , even by

county seat. It being the best town site in
the state , and ns the Springs is slowly but

Springs will boom and boom in earnest.

DCS Motxns , In , , Fob. 3. [ Special to
Tin : HUE. ] Senator Allison's declination ef
the treasury portfolio 1ms upset several
budding booms of Iowa aspirants for oftlco.
When It seemed llkly that ho would accept ,
n great many wheels were started that were
intended to roll their owners Into ono posl <
tlon or nnothor which they had no hope of
reachingwithout. . There wus , first of nil ,
the siiccessorfthlp to the ootmtorshlp Itsolf.
A year or two ago about the only nnmo that
would have been heard mentioned n * llkoly
to succeed Allison would have been thntof
Colonel Henderson , who lives in Allison' : !
town , Dubuque , nud represents thnt district
in congress. Hut shieo the mitl-mouopoly
feeling has tukcn such root It has brought .to
the front other candidates of a different )
order. A grunt many of the nntt-monnpollsts
would have preferred Governor Lnrrabee
himself , and it was suggested that if ha
would call an extra .session of the legislature
to hnndlo the railroad question It would
promptly elect him. Or , If this wore not
done , and he would appoint some person of
medium ability nnd little prominence to Illl
out thu unuxpired term , tha next loiml.-i-
turo , which meets ncxt"winter. . would ,
choose him for the full term. In this way
il was the hope of the governor's friends
that sooner or later ho would be sent lo the
scimic , though they had llttlo hopes that ha
could go if Allison would remain In thu senate -
ate and wanted to sueoccdjhluiself. Hut thnt
plan is upset , and that ends it. The next
candidate who wanted lo warm a clmir In
the senate for ono winter wns George L ) .
Perkins , of the Sioux City Journal. Ho had
nn idea that this was his opportunity. Ha
has been conspicuously defending the gov
ernor and saying nice things nbout him for
the last month , nnd lost no opportunity to
win his favor. Naturally such cheerful ad
vances were reciprocated , nnd it Is thought
that the governor would hnve looked twice
at least toward Sioux City In case ho had tha
appointment to make , The friends of Per
kins at Sioux City were pressed into service ,
and un elaborate memorial , netting forth the
weighty reasons why ho should bo appointed
was prepared , nnd forwarded to the gov
ernor. Hut that budding boom has nlso been
winterkilled , for Mr. Perkins railUu * that
his lust chance has gone , as ho would not ex-
poet to be elected to the position when a
light with other oiindldaUjs would bo re
quired. Candidate the next was Judge Heed ,
at present chief justice of the supreme
court , and conirrossnmn-clcct irom the
Ninth district. It might ho supposed
that n gentleman thus favored would" not
wunt the earth , but some of the Judge's mod
est friends were willing that ho should hnvo
it. They promptly started , or tried to start ,
a boom for him for tbo senatorahlp , although
hu had Just been elected to the lower house
of congress , and hadn't yet seen the ci < pltol
building. The key to tbis liltlo scheme was
In the bauds of the Judge's friends , and not
apnarent to the general public. The judge
Hvos'in Council Hluffs.So does' the Non
pareil. It was the hope of the luttur that it
; hc governor would appoint Heed to the HOII-
itc , nnd thus create a vacancy for congress ,
ic would also appoint Mr. Stedman , the edi
tor of the Nonpareil , to the vacancy. That
explains why tlio Nonpareil so promptly took
up the cry , und proposed Heed for the senate.
Mr. Spencer Smith , railroad commlfsioner ,
and partner of Stedman , In the Nonpareil , Is
credited with this pleasant little plan for
taking care of the family. It is probable that
the judge himself was not pushing- , though ,
like UarlciK. ho was undoubtedly \villing Iq
suffer a promotion of that sort. Now cornea
Allison , mid with a stroke of his pen , upots
all these bright hopes , and loaves half n
do/.cn mon disconsolate , though , the rest of
the two million population are very well
pleased to have him continue In the place of
great Inlluenco and power which ho harf
h onorcd so long.
