cellent form , both Sticb and Homes
making clean scores. Although Wolston-
croft nnd "Whitney , of tbo eastern tourists ,

erners had none to their credit until today
ana now Manager Dlmmlcic foils pretty sure
of winning tils bet with a Boston gentleman
who Wagered that ten clean scores would
not bo inadu during the entire trip.
The eastern men nrp now four matches
ahead , having won twelve of the twenty

and In tho' following dozeu shots ho shat
tered only ono. raising his score to 11 by
breaking the ilnal four. His work on the
doubles was equally bad and ho retired after
huvlng broken only seventeen out of forty.
Captain Budd of the western team was
nest at the score and he shot wall from the
start , making a clean record on singles. Ho
broke four pairs in the doubles and claimed
tbo last target in tbo flfth pair , but Koforco
Tucker would not allow it nnd it was scored
as a miss , Budd thus losing the credit of
making a clean score on the very first shoot.
This is the third time during the tour that
the western captain has coino within ono of
a perfect scoro.
Wolstoacroft of the eastern team was the
next to face the traps , Ho.shot in good trim
and scored 20 on the single , missing his 24th ,
In the doubles bis work was not so good ,
but ho ended with a'total ' score of 37 , raising
tbo eastern team's score to 54.
J. A. Hublo was the next western repre

the railroad commissioners intend to reduce
the freight rates in this state , in view of the

agreed to do so , and in a few flays will make
a now schedule of rates. It is thought that

Mrs. Fountain Again Appoara I
Her Favorite Rolo.
SHE HAS A MALE ASSISTANT
The Notorious Outfit Nantly Tr nppoi
and Forced to IJOKVO tha City
Their Exploits In the
III u ON ,
A Bold Adventures * .
About thrco years ago the name of "Mn
Fountain , baby and husband" frequently at
pcarod In tha public prints of this city. A
ono time they appeared in connection wit
thd shortcomings of a young man who ha
succumbed to the charms of the sorceress
and whoso absolute ruin was prevcnte
only by the timely advice and succor o
friends.
They were again bruited In connoctloi
with extravagant living at ono of the hotel
without apparent modns of support.
A third time they came Into prom
Incnco in connection with th
disappearance of a diamond rini
which the woman , the loader of th
combination , had procured from n jewolr ;
firm in tnls city. The ownership of this or
namcut was tested in a justice court thoi
presided ever by Judge Holsloy , now of tin
police cuurt. The firm sought to regain pos
session of the ring or to recover Its cquwa
lout In cash. Ihu woman , nt the time , o
tbo beginning of the suit resided In St. Paul
whore she rolgncd ilka nquccn in royal apart
ments In the Hotel Uyun. She was brough
back to this city by Constable Kdgerton
She was accompanied by her husband whos <
demise at Dos Moincs was recently reported
Distinguished counsel appeared for botl
the plaintiff nnd defendant. The latter won
as It waa known she would , upon a mon
technicality. She retains possession of tin
stone and the firm was conllduncod out o
just the value of the jewel nnd sotting.
To enumerate tno other instances In whlcl
this stellar combination appeared would bite
to mention cases which would not appeal
well in print. It is sufficient to no to tha' '
few people mot or hud uny dealings with the
loading member of the aggregation withoul
feeling that tboy bud been fleococ
of money or reputation or both
So general had the fooling become and so ut
tcrly despicable had the leading charactoi
grown In the estimation of the public thai
the combine was compelled to seek victim !
in other regions.
It. wont to Lincoln , and , during tha last
session of the legislature , hubby , baby and
alt , was one uf the curiosities of the timo.
It moved tbonco to half a dozen places and
the record of its achievements Is well preserved -
served horo.
Three weeks ago it returned to Omaha
that is , all that was loft , and registered atone
ono of the hotels. The combination comprised
Mrs , Fountain , her sister and a sub
stitute forhubby who * gave the
nauia of Harris. The last is an assumed
name. The younp roan is the soil of wealthy
and rcspectablo parents in u largo Iowa city.
Out of respect to thorn , thu right name is
temporarily suppressed.
The narty engaged two rooms wlncti wore
connected with each other. It ordered the
meals to bo sent to the rooms , only the escort
cert appearing in the dining room , nud he
but once or twice.
For five days they lived almost Incognito ,
although the beny.no inscribed her name
upon the register. It was overlooked , however -
over , because the clerk , and indeed the pro
prietor were moro less unacquainted with
the exploits of the woman.
One day. however , a jeweler called uuon
her. Later an attorney twilled , nnd secured a
numbeir of diamonds which bo claimed in return -
turn for unrequited services.
By this time the hotel proprietor began to
sco that ho was sheltering a party who ought
to bo under osplonagu. The sumo day , the
woman , heavily veiled , left the hotel , and ,
with her escort , toalc u coupe which had been
ordered in some mysterious manner. She
returned , hidden us before by un impenetra
ble veil , and went immediately to her room.
The coupe , however , had been shadowed.
Every place at which it stopped was noted.
It was then suspected that thu woman was
trying to play her old garno. She did not
enter uny of the places at which she stopped ,
but waited at ono place lor a considerable
length of time , after her carriage messenger
had brought word to her that the party in
question would "see her In n few ininutos. "
When a second call was made , It was found
that the intended victim had flown.
Disappointed and angered thu woman re
turned to the hotel.
Next morning the young man In the
case worked the hotel telephone
und Informed the party for whom the
siren had waited so patiently the day before
that n lady would call to sea him that fore
noon.
After the couple bad again left the hotel
; ho propriotoc told the gentleman who was
sought tor , who the lady was who intended
to honor him with her presence.
When nmdatno's escort called at the office
n question the gentleman sought was not
in and would not bo in perhaps for an hour ,
n fact , ho might have left town , as he hud
been thinking of doing so when ho wont out
of the office.
Again the madame returned disappointed.
Tno much sought-for gontlouian conferred
with tbo hotel man. The former said that
10 know what tbo madame's gumo was ana
that ho would light her to the uttermost if
she ever ran across his path.
That night tha hotel proprietor put a man
m the room adjoining the Fountain combina
tion , and that man heard a great deal. The
combine gave itself away. It had made up.
its mind to blucicrnull a number of leading
merchants , among whom was the much
iought for gentleman , and from him Hubby
larris sugge-nted that the madame extort
lor money at tbo muzzle of a shotgun. For
learly two days nnd two nights the listener
made notes of this conspiracy , the madame
meanwhile dispensing with her coupe rides.
At length Harris made las appearance , and
was promptly met by the proprietor of
the hotel with the bill for lodging , meals
and liquor sold the combination while In the
totel. The money was not forthcoming und
the landlord Insisted upon getting it in the
norning. At the same time ho introduced
.ho man who had ovorhoird the consplruoy ,
who told of what ho had ascertained and
.lint If bo and the xvoman did not leave town
nsldo of a dozen hours that ho would have
horn all arrested and sent to the peniten
tiary. . .
Next morning the party loft the1 hotel ,
mvlng In the meantime procured the money
with which to pay the bill.
Tno combination is now In Council Bluffs ,
Sormof the members of It mot some people
who are now m town and told them that tboy
ntomlcd to como to this city and got (112,000
which was duo them and that they would so-
uuro It no mutter what publicity It required
, o obtain It.
It U hardly likely , however , that Mrs.
fountain's boast will bo carried out now that
he reading people ore prepared to meet her ,

An investigation discloses the fact the
Tountaln combination has been stopping at
the Ogden housa in Council Bluffs for the
last weak , but their presence there was
mown to very few , even of the regular
boardori , as they have kept their rooms ,
vhoro their meals have been sent them. Tbo

rooms are No. 89 , 01 nnd 03. When
BBB reporter called last ovon-
ug , It was Impossible for him to
Ascertain a particle of Information from any
} f tbo hotel employes with reference to this
nystorlous quartctto that bad registered
here nearly a week before , and no ono
exmied to know whether they were still
here or not. A qulot Investigation on the
jpper lluors failed to throw any llpht on the
ubjoct , as the rooms above mentioned were
ill dark , and no annwar ca'jio to ropoat.od
cnocks at the doora. Tha soribo descended
jo the lower iloor , whore u good looking
ouug man was found , who , under the Judi-
tous operation of the suction putnplmpurtod
omo really Interesting Information , uftur
xactlng a solemn prouilso thut hi horribly
uitortcd likeness should not appear In thuso
olumns.
It seioin * that the outfit In question wont to
ho house on the day above stutud Into In the
Ucnaooa , Their proiouco m the hotel was
not known by the proprietor until some tin
later , when ho recognized the autograph r
tbo register. Ho know of the woman on tl
occasion of her visit hero three years ag
nnd at once Informed the clerk of liar elm
actor , and declared thnt noconcoMton * mui
bo shown thorn , Thor woru to bo nllowo
no reductions , and the homo must free :
them out. They stayed , however , nnd yea
tordny afternoon were required to pay the
bill , amounting to fM for six days.
The reporter was anxious 'to nee tli
guests , nnd finally ascertained tlut they ha
changed their rooms , und the women un
child were In Nos. 77 nnd 70. Another trl
to the upper regions , and a ran ht the door <
No. 79 wa answered by n call to "Como in.
It was n front room on the parlor Iloor , an
the occupants were a very good-looklu
young lady in black , a llttlo girl of aboi
U.i oo years , nud n good-sized young man In
nmull-alzeHl rocking chair , who was ondoavoi
ing to hide a very rod face betiind a news
paper , whl h ho was periulnir with iminfi
eagerness. The reception accorded wn
qulto .frigid.

Mr. Hoffumn in ! "
"No , sir. "
"Wnoro can I find hlrat"
"Ho is In Omaha. "
"Will he return Boonl"
" 1 don't know anything about It , "
The young man was disposed to ndvanco
llttlo moro information In the hope of mon
cpecdlly getting rid of nn tinwolcomo visitor
und vouchsafed the statement thai they wor
momentarily expecting him.
"Is Mrs. Fountain hero ! "
"Sho has gone with him. Tuov wont ovoi
this evening aud It is time for thoni to b
back. "
"I presume thin Is Mrs , Fountain's nlstort1
"It Is , " ( with superlative c-oldncss ) .
"Perhaps I oueht to nxplnln that my cat
is with reference to an article that nppoaroi
in today's BEB. "
"That's what I aupposod , nnd 1 can tel
you that there will oo trouble about It. "
' For whoml"
"I don't care to talk about It. "
"Has your sister soon ill"
"I don't want to talk , I toll you. "
"Possibly you uro not familiar with thi
facts m the casol"
No answer.
"Lot's " said scribe
see , the meditatively
"wore you here with your sister three yean
ago , on tbo occasion of her former visit 1"
" 1 told you 1 didn't ' want to talk , and 1
won't , " and the young lady throw horscl :
back on the sofa with a very decided got-uut
of-hero-and-mlnd-your-own-businoss air.
"Is this young gentleman connected will
the case ! "
"Oh " of that Individual
no , was the hasty answer
dividual himself , and then ho again retreated
behind his papur.
There was nothing- do but to tuvalt the
return of the siren and her victim , ant
another rounel up of the lower floor occupied
the time. It was ascertained that the parti
has had n great deal of liquor sent tc
their rooms nt night , but it has boot
mostly boor Instead of wmo nnd champagne ,
ns might Imvo been expected. The young
man of solid build and florid complexion is u
stranger und does not 8ton in the houao. He
first appeared last Thursday opening nnd
sent up a card on Which bo inscribed "A.
M. " It wet evidently roqogulred , as the
bell boy returned with instructions to show
the stranger to her room. Since thoa he has
boon a regular visitor and calls nearly every
night. Ho nnd Hoffman remain upstairs
until about 1 or 2 o'clock and
"
tnon vonturn below" , . wtien the
ofllco is comparatively deserted. The
stranger Is supposed to bo an Omaha
youth , but ho has never dropped any clue as
to his identity. His time is apparently
monopolized by "sister. " Hoffman und
Mrs. Fountain have been occasionally seen
on the streets during the past week , but
never In the hotel dining room. ' They hnvo
attracted considerable attention , from tha
fact that the woman was considerably his
senior , as well as. by their actions aud their
stylish dress. Ho wears a long' brown ovor-
cout und silk * hat , with nn incipient
mustache , whllu the woman dresses in black
with a full length sealskin cloak. They ap
parently cared for nobody , and the young
dupe was oblivious to all save the slum's
smiles.
It.was nearly 10 o'clock when they ro-
turnoel from Omaha. They ascended nt
once to No. 79 and the scribe requested an
interview. Ho was shown Into the room
und Mrs , Fountain announced her Identity
in a most businesslike manner.
Plunging at once into business , the intnr-
viewer inquired : "Mrs. Fountain , what
have you to say regarding the article con
cerning you In this evening's BEB ? "
"Nothinu not a word I don't want to talk
I haven't anything to say. " she declared in
sharp , disjointed sentences. "All there is
to it , I can't understand it. "
& "Do you admit that it was nil truol"
"I doiVt admit anything I can't under
stand it. I don't know as I must' reply to
anything 1 don't cheese to. I don't ' ewe the
people of Omaha anything ; on the contrary.
It is quite the reverse. "
"What have you to say , MV. Hoffman ! "
"Ob , nothing what over wo don't under
stand it. "
"Are you l-eally Mr. Hoffman , or are you
Mr. Harris , or uro you neither ! "
"Why er or er "
"Oh. you nccden't answer it , " Interposed
madam. ' 'Our business is no concern of the
public. "
"Of course not , " ejaculated Hoffman , evi
dently relieved ,
As the pumping progressed Mrs. Fountain
again and again interposed to head oft the
embarrassed young man and prevent his
committing himself. The woman was an
cool as could be and faced the muMc.
She did not wilt under any question
and denied everything in toto. She ad
mitted that she was hero n few years with
her husband. Know Billy Smith , formerly
porter at the Ocdon. Used to send bun on
errands to Omaha. Oh , no , sbo never sent
him for hush money.
"What about that diamond business ! "
"Thoro was nothing in it My husband
was at thei bottom of that. I had nothing to
do with it. "
"Well , but didn't a lowolor nnd nn nttor-
nov visit you m Omaha recently I"
"An attorney visited mo , but It was on al
together different business , and another
gentleman called , but ho wasn't a jowolor. "
"Is your husband dead ! "
"Yes ; ho died In New York a few months
ago , just as ho was ready to como home. It
was a vary sad affair , " uud it huudkorchlof
nnd sob duet was then Introduced , but the
tear accompaniment was missing.
"Say , " suddenly remarked young Hoff
man , "who inspired that article in TUB
"It doesn't make any difference , " declared
madam with a warning look. "You are uot
interested In it , "
"Ob , that's so , of course , " assented the
thoroughly subdued youth.
At this juncture the reporter requested n
private interview with young Hoffman and
was taken into tno adjoining room. Thaio
was no mincing mutteirs nnd the forceps
were applied very forcibly.
"Seo here , Hoffman , or whatever your
name is , what are you doing here with this
woman ! "
"Why , I'm stoupltn ; here just ltl < o any
other boarder , "
"Is It possible you don't know horl "
"I know she Is a lady. "
"YOU know she is nothing , of the kind.
Now then , this thing bus got down to bed
rock , nud there Is no utu in fooling. How
union has she squeezed you for ! "
Hoffman turned half a dozen colors , looked
at the dor and finally begun : "For God's
sake don't publish my name and I'll tell you
all about It. "
Just then the door opened and In came the
charmer. She wanted to talca thu interview
off his hands , but it wouldn't do , and she
was finally pursuadod to louvo the room.
Huffman's courage hud returned , and. ho refused
fused to toll the story. Ho climbed up ou
his dignity nnd posed for > k tnlnuto , bul thu
position was untenable.
'What is your right naino ) "
"My name Is iloftumti. "
Are you eiulto cortulu about It ) "
' Yes , sir , Ills Hoffman , and nothing also. "
"What Is your father's iiumol"
"Well , that's a strange question. , U
ncouiB rather Insulting. Did you Intend It
that way ! "
"Oh no , I meroiy was going to nsk why
they were not nllitc. "
Hoffman tried hard to rnlso his eyes , but
they fell to the iloor , and he begun to whim-
l > or. Auam hi * goadosg roliovud jilm , and
said they had boon questioned enough for
3no night.
"Well , but you won't bo hero tomorrow , "

Boston Makes a McMisntionul Asser
tion.
LOKDOK , March 10. In the commons to
night , the debate on the Pnrnoll report was
resumed and Sexton protested against plac
ing nu record the commission's perverted
views of the ovldcnco submitted to them.
In the course of bis speech ho said ho had a
letter marked "privttu" from.Lord Salisbury
to Pigott.
Balfour declared a viler calumny wns
never uttered than the Insinuation that Lord
Salisbury was connected with the forgeries.
Ho had the prime minister's authority to
challenge Sexton to publish the letter and
dared him to read it.
Sexton retorted that ho was ready to sub
uilt the letter nnd others with it. to u com
mittee of Inquiry.
Balfour , continuing , denied that the gov
ernment assisted the Times to procure evi
dence in America. Ho accused the Parnoll-
ites of withholding from the commission
every source of authentic evidence. The
government made no charges against the
ParnedltcB and ho fulled to , see why the
government ought to apologize. Purnell
himself was largely responsible for the
effect of tbo public publication , because had
the Purnollltos adequately denounced the
Phoenix Park murders nobody , would have
discredited their landers. Ho concluded
with a general attack oil the Parnollitos.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt maintained
thnt the forged letters had helped the gov
ernment to pass the crimes act. The coun
try had become weiir.y of the debate bocuuso
It regarded the government's action against
the acquitted men ns vindicative. After
denying tho' authority of tlio judges on
political questions ho asked what
government hoped to reap from this shabby
persecution. At the conclusion of the dp-
bate Gladatouo's amendment was rejected
by U3D to 203. Joining's amendment will betaken
