ANOTHER VICTIM OF PASSION
Two Italians Qtnrrol end Ono of Them
Kills tlio Other ,
FATAL ENDING OF A DAY OF PLEASURE
1C. Kcntc o Griislint In tlio .Skull of Tom
Vccio with nil Iron lt.tr Arrnst of
the Murderer Particular * ot
the AITmy.
Gambling and drinking yesterday after
noon wcro the causa of ono man losing bis
llfo , The dead man , Tom Vecse , is an Italian
laborer aged about 35 years , 1C. Scaloso Is
the name of his slayer. All day yeslorday
Iho mon were drinking together through the
Itnllsn'dlstrlcl , near Twentieth nnd Plorco
Btrects. During the afternoon they wandered
over Into the vacant lots on Twentieth street
between Woolworth nnd Popploton avenues ,
nnd engaged with several others In playing
Italian panics. Vccio , it was learned , had
lost a llttlo money , and Scaloso cbldod him
nbout it. A boated discussion followed , nnd
the result was that both mon became very
nngry.
Struck the Filial lllovr.
Just what the dead man said to the mur
derer could not bo learned , hut , quick as a
flash Sculose picked up nn Iron bar , which
wrvs lying on thn ground near by anil struck
Vocso n terrible clew on the head Just
nbovo the right eye and across the temple.
Death was almost I'lstnntnncous.
A calf was scut in to the pollco station and
the patrol wagon sent out. Word was nUo
sent to the coroner , who res ponded nt onco.
Upon the arrival of the patrolmen , Ofll cor
Dick Mnrncll arrested the Ita.lan murderer
nnd after placing him Iu Irons looked around
for some witnesses.
After a hit of hustling Marnell nrrostod
Jim Long , P. Costllda , Tony Mathews nnd
Thomas Madeline , and locked them up ns
Btnto witnesses. Both the murderer and his
victim were railroad laborers working on a
13. & M. gravel train und were scarcely
known in the Italian district.
.Struck In thn llcut of I'anslon.
As neither the witnesses nor the prisoner
can speak n word of English it was impos
sible last night for the pollco to obtnln any
partlculf.rsof the crnno or the causes leading
up to It. Judging from the fact that the
pair had been together nil day , it Is pre
sumed that the fatal blow was struck In n
momentary heat of passion und was not the
outcome of an old feud.
Detectives wont out to the various Italian
resorts last night , but had hard work In find
ing any Italians who admitted that they
could sneak English , and these who could
talk n Uttlu claimed to know nothing ubout
the ullulr.
Unknown In Omiiliu.
The body wns laid out at the morgue. A
y > bill wns found In ono of the pockets of the
deceased's clothing , and that was all , net n
scrap of paoor or nsinglo thing to indicate
the mun's name or to tell where was his
Jiomo. Several Italians called at the morgue
In SL-U tha remains , but no one Identified
them beyond the fuot that the murdered
man had worked in or near South Omaha.
Some claimed that his name was West aud
Fomo salil Vocso. The only two facts that
tno authorities are suni of is that Iho man Is
dead and thru tbo murderer Is In jail.
Coroner Maul will hold the Inquest some
tlmo today.

HOT Si'iiiNua , S , D , . Aug. 23. [ Special to
Tun BKK. ] Cnptalt. W. V. Lucas , the repub
lican nominee for congress from the Hills
section of South DaUota , was soon nt the
Evuns this morning. Ho is in excellent
health and spirits and ready for the fray of
the campaign to begin. While hois confi
dent of the success of the republican party
in the atnto ibis fall , ho says tboy will huvn
bard fighting and a tight rub If the demo
crats and Independents unlto all along the
lino. Tbo captain has no ; much faith in Iho
proclaimed determination of the democrats
to throw over the independents and main
tain tholr uarty organization , und
thinks they mo meditating some schema
which will bu sprung late In the
campaign. Ho says the democrats In this
ctaiu have everything to gain nnd nothing to
lose by uniting with the Independents. 'JUmt
jinny is In such u hopeless minority in this
ctuto that nUerudo of campaigns of "educa
tion" will not bo sufficient to bring them Into
power. But If by uniting with ilia Indepen
dents tboy eni ) succeed in twinging the state
from the rnpubllcun columns they gain u
victory for their national ticket wl.hout
making any local sucrlllCM , Tins being the
Miuatlon thu republicans must not allow
tliemsulvcs in bu choalod wllii the idea that
tliu L'liomy will preiunt a divided front , and
muni not nllinv a moment's ' relaxation of
energy and wutchluno ! < s. '
Thu captain sava tbut Iho whole trouble in
this campaign lies In tlio fact that the sluto
is not districted yet , and the congrosiinen are
elected nt large by thn vote of the stuto , and
the Independent clement cant ot the river
uniting with the democrats , muv enable the
opposition lo overcome the good old repub
lican majority. Tlio reason iho state is not
divided Into congressional districts Is because
in Ibo last legislature tbo ladouuudunls were
in the majority.
Captain Lucas is fjotng to luy off bu coat
nnd go iu for victory. Ho will comrocuca hU
campaign curly in September and keep it red
hoV Iroui itarl lo tlulsh. Ho um arranged u
circuit of the Hills country , subject , however ,
to revision , which Is as follows : Uapld City ,
Sopfcomber2 ; Spenrll b , September : ? ; Lead.
September 5 ; Belle Fotircho , September 0 ;
Deadwood , SoptombarO ; Custcr , September
13 ; Hill Citv , September M ; and Sturgls ,
September 15. This will llnlsh his Owt work
in the Hills. Ho will then jump to the uast-
crn sldo of iho river nnd hit slcdgo hammer
licks for protection and republicanism among
the sturdy farmers.
His probable that ho will start In at
Hurley , Salem and Carthage , reaching St.
Lawronuo , In Hand county , In tlmo to attend
the soldiers' reunion , to ho held nt that
olaco on September 2J , nt which tlmo and
pliicoho will ontertiin his Into comrades in
nrm with Ins wellknownstocltof anecdotes ,
reminiscences and songs. "Old Shady" is
iilwnvs a leiituro of these reunions , and a
favonto with the boys , but no ono can sing
that song us Captain Lucas does.
On his return trip to the Hills country
Cnptnln Lucas will bo accompanied by Cap
tain C. II. Sheldon , candid a to tor governor ,
wCo will remain In the Hills country n
couple of weeks. About tha middle of Oc
tober they will bo reinforced by Major J , A.

missioner Charles F. Peck distributed 8,000
blanks to ns many wholesale separate estab

of Investigation includes the yoai- Im
mediately prior to the enactment of

waukee on loavo. Ho said today : "When
the Mi-Klnloy act was passed the exporters
looked very biuo. Trade foil off for a short
time , but very soon adjusted Itself to the
now conditions. The Holland merchants
were wrathy , though. They swore that
the McIClnloy.bll was a blow aimed at their
Interest with malics aforethought end intent
to ruin them. After a tlmo I bccatiib tlrad of
hearing this talk and laid some figures be

which they sent to the United Stages the
duty on slxtoon rcmtlnod unchanged under
the bill , six wore loworad and flvo railed ,
Sumatra tobacco was In the last class , Q3
well as high cnido pickles and chouses. I
told thorn that tuoso things wore luxuries
and that the people who consumed thorn
wcro of the class who would not mind an Increase -
crease in thu prices if the higher tariff suould
alToct them.
"Tho touacco shipments dropped oil largely ,
but this was partly duo to tbo fact that a
supply sunicient for two years had been sent
here before tbo McKlnloy bill wont into
effect. Our principal exports to Holland nro
oleomargarine , petroleum and grain , The
grain importations from America of course
rose whllo exportation from the Black son
ports were forbidden. The first three
months of 1SOI showed a record of 700,000
bushels Irom the United States , wbilo dur
ing the same period In IS'J'J 7,000,000 bushels
wcro shipped. When tbo bars wcro letdown
down In Russia of course this rate was low

Secretary Foster has sent n long letter to
Senator Allen replying to thn criticlstcs of
Representative Davis of Kansas on the de
partment statements on the subject of the
currencv. Tncsu criticisms were made in n
letter printed In the Cougrcsiiounl Kocord ,
which tbo sec-rotary says bo did not
receive and did 'not sec until a
few duvs ugo. They uro being used
luw us campaign arguments by the
peoolo's party candidates , and Senator Alton
has asknd Secretary Fo tor to reply to thorn.
Mr. .DavU says that the contention is
mainly as to the status of the seven-thirty
notes , nnd that If they did not circulate as
money the tro'isury reports of IS > ! 5 and ISOli
should not huvo tabulated them , and Senator
LoL-aii = lo ild not have so quoted thorn.
Uoplylng to this the socrotury says : "I

otherwise , which include tno suvou-thirty

him as money , but bv thu secretary of the
treasury as a loan. I'ho comptroller of the

tion."He , too , omitted all mention of tbo ( Seven-
thirty notes. Secretary MuCulloch published
a table of thu paper circulation lor October
ill. ISltt , which looted up about $704,000,000 ,
and ho added to It fJO.UOO.OOO as an estimate
of the ono nnd two year nocos nnd compound
Interest notes In circulation. He also omitted
the Haven-thirty notes from his table and
from his estimate , though ho expressed the
opinion that many of the small denomina
tions of them were in circulation a ? money. "
.No Foiiml.itlou lurtliu Statement.
As the smallest denomination was $ . " > ? ) , and
ns thcro wcra only about $ -14,000,000 of that
denomination Issued , the secretary's indefi
nitely expressed opinion that "many of
thorn" wcro In circulation ao3s not afford
very broad ground for tno assertion that tbo
whole sovoa-tblrty loan of { Sao.OUO.OOO was
used as money. Continuing , the secretary
says tbut Mr. Davis Has mlseiuotcd Senator
Logan , who sotiarated thosuvcn-thlrtlos from
the curroncy.anu did not assort thattboy were
In circulation. Mr. Foster says thai ho can
not understand the latiguugo attributed to
Ubiiorul Spinner that "tho Bovon-thirty
notes "woro Intended , prepared , Issued ur.d
used as money. "
No statement , ho BHV. , could possibly bo
moro Innccurato , Ho quotes the circular
offering thu notes to the public as a loan and
Buys ( hut probably no loan made by Ihugov
ernment was aver GO widely advertised as a
loan. Concerning thu statement that they
were paid out us currency to tbo soldiers In
the Hold , Mr. Foster quotes Secretary Fes-
sonilon't , ropocts In which ho spoke of the
soldiers who accepted tboso notes expressing
their satisfaction at being oblo to aid their
country by loaning money to the govern
ment.
Ttio secretary says that after careful ex
amination ho Has bean unublu to find any
dUcrcnanuy between hit. statements and
those of Secretary McCulloch.

Then ho says : "In one of the concluding
paragraphs of. Mr. Davis' lottcr there up.
pcurstuafollowlug : 'In your column headed ,
Amount In Circulation , 1 see no deductions
arn in ido for bank reserves at required by

muko no deductions for lost or destroyed

Mr , Secretary , are all Items , and soiao of
thaw , very largo items , which should not bo
overlooked in a correct iMttmuto ot tbo
amount of monov in circulation , '
"Mr , Diwu Is corruotlu stating ; thut bank
reserves nro not deducted. Thpy. uro not
deducted from any of tbo tables , prepared.
If it bo proparto make this * deduction for
1891 , It would bo necessary to make a similar
ono for 1W3 und IbtiO In order to give a true
comparison between the two periods , and if
thu were done It would bo found that tbo
remainder would ba as small relatively iu
the earlier periods us In tbo latter. But
why deduct badK reserves , for any period !
In my oulnlou tharo Is no norlod of our cur-
roncv ( specie or paper ) m'oro potent In main
taining an easy circulation than that In
cluded In the bank rosprvRS , for it Is the
basis of tbo enormous circulation of chocks

of the business of this cobntry U transuded.
"Mr. Davis Is Also correct In stating that
no deduction Is made for any destroyed
paonr money. .This department has no au
thority to deduct from its liabilities any
estimated mnouiioof suoh losses. If congress
should authoilzo such deduction this depart
ment would cheerfully make It , for It has
been denied that there Is n considerable loss.

Dr. HtrliiKllnld of ChlcnRo Makes Homo
Vnlmililn .SilKir tloli ,
Chicago Tribune : The suggestions of Dr.
C. P. Slrlngfleld with reference to treatment
for the cholera nro worthy of careful con
sideration , the moro so as they are In the
nature of preventives , and an ounce of pro-
vci.tion always is woith a pound of euro.
To fortify ugalnst cholera Is n wiser pollcv
than lo attempt to chock It after It tuu
galnrd a foothold. Dr. Stringllold savs :
"Cholera , like many other diseases , is duo
to a germ which must have an alkullno
medium for development. Therefore , If you
cause nil the secretions of the bidy to be
come acids the germ c.innot thrive. If nil
persons would drink freely of sulphuric-
acid lemonade , mudo by simply adding ten
or fifteen drops of sulphuric acid to n
quart of ordinary lake water , belled and then
Iced , or to any of the numerous spring
waters , putting In snHelent ( sugar to make It
palutnblo , It would lie a good preventive.
Drink this instead of water or any other beverage -
orago , as Itls harmless when properly diluted
and can bo consumed In largo quantities.
This acid has been employed with great ad
vantage In epidemics of cholera by Dr. Cur
tis In the Philadelphia ulnisnouso Insane de
partment. A very serious epidemic censed
In twelve hours nftcr the Inmates were nil
put upon the tree use of sulphuric acid lorn-
onado. Tbo only new case utter this was
that of a man who refused to use the pro
phylactic. Two davs nftor the use of the
sulphuric ucld was stopped two now cases
again occurred , nnd the epidemic was again
urrosted by the uio of sulphuric
ncid. In ths surgical wards the ucid win
used from the beginning of the epidemic , and
in these ward * , although In no way isolated ,
the disease fulled to make un nppoiruiice. In
view of this stiitomentof facts thonroventivo
should bo used frouly and early. It is of tlio
utmost Importance to check the premonitory
dliirrbiun , which Is amenable to prompt , sim
ple treatment. Cholera is goccrallv preceded
by dlnrrhcoa , and an attack very rarely oc
curs when this svmptom receives early and
appropriate attention. Excepting in the
frequent cases in which cholera is not pro-
codud by dlnrrbcua , it may , with almost
absolute ccrtnlntv , bo prevented. The
greatest dlfllcully lain the prompt aupllcn-
tion of simple but effective treatment In all
cases of diurrluun.sLurjnKt.ho ORUlJDlct3"ery )
many pay no attention ttfo'premonitory- -
symptoms through ignorance , and hot a few
ot these bettor InformoJ neglect It , cither
from recklessness or because they can not
appreciate the fact that a disorder so slight
nnd ordinary can bo a precursor of so'gravo
a muludy ns cholera.
If Dr. Stringficld's premises ere sound ,
nnd it ought to be tin easy mutter to demon
strate their truth or untruth , It follows that
bis conclusions must bo correct. If
the cholera bacillus Is fond of an ulkallno
bath und flourishes under those condi
tion ! ) , then It stands to reason bo
will not enjoy an ncld bath nor
flourish on it , and that sulphuric-acid lemonade -
ado will be his undoing. With proper precautions -
cautions inits , preparation and with appro
priate seasoning It can bo made n palatable
beveragelt , _ is cheap and easily prepared
also. Every person can tmvo It on hand.
Would It not bo well , therefore , for the Board
of Health to Investigate its olllcacy and make
a public statement ! He says it has been used
before , and Is not in any HUISO nn experi
mental remedy. Then it will bo possible to
ascertain with n degree of certainty just
what sulphuric-acid lemonade can do in
warding off cholera.
