I WASHINGTON , Oct. 27. The beginning of
voting on the amendments which took place
this afternoon docs not necessarily bring the
end any nearer , because the voting was
begun upon an understanding that spoocU-
niaking should bo allowed to continue
within duo limits. No senator was prepared
to take the floor when Mr. Jones expressed
a dcslro to continue his speech until tomor
row ana Mr. Voorhccs , by previous arrange
ment , movcd.to take up the pending amend
ment.
Mr. Faulkner , the repeal whip , nau pre
viously seen the senators who had expressed
a Ueslro to speak and assured them the now
order should not cut thorn out. Ho thinks
all future speeches , except Mr. Jones , ' will
bo brief and is hopeful of reaching a final
vote very soon. Mr. Jones will require
about two hours in which to conclude.
Senator Merrill of Vermont , the oldest
senator , appeared In his seat this morn
ing after an absence of two months
and was warmly welcomed. Senator
Stewart came into the senate armed
with a lemon this morning and announced to
his colleagues around him that if his
throat held out , and ho thought it would , ho
wished to occupy the floor the greater part
of the day. This announcement had the
effect of changing to some extent the
calculations of the repeal members.
When the consideration of the repeal bill
was resumed , ' Mr. Stewart took up the
thread of his argument where ho stopped
last evening when the senate took
a recess.
Questioning Mr. Stewart ns to his position ,
Mr. Carey , republican , of Wyoming said :
' ' silver raonomotallist. "
'Isay you are a
"I say you nro mistaken , " replied Mr.
Stewart , hotly.
"You don't know what bimetallism is. "
[ Laughter. ]
L.OU UU r.ltlonce.
Losing his patience , Mr. Stewart asked :
"How many times must I toll you a thing
before you understand it ? " [ Laughter. ]
"I think I understand it , " Mr. Carey said ,
"and if you understood more and talked less
wo would get along better. " [ Laughter. ]
"I think you have talked to tlio foil extent
of your Information,11 replied Mr. Stewart ,
and then drifted Into a denunciation of "tho
gold ring and criticisms of the administra
tion.
tion.At
At 1:30 : Mr. Stewart yielded to his col
league , Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones said u lawyer arguing a case
would not proceed with much enthusiasm If
ho believed a decision had been rendered
and the seal put upon it by the cleric.
Mr. Teller contended no cotton poods wore
exported from India until the cheapened
price of silver stimulated exportation. The
same was true ns to whoat.
Mr. McPherson , xlemocrat , of Now Jersey
ascribed the production in and the cxporta
tlon from India of cotton and wheat to nat
ural causes , there being nothing else that
would grow thoro.
Competition of liulln.
Mr. Jonestraced , the competition of India
In these two commodities to the demonetiza
tion of silver In 1ST ! ) , which WHS not done by
nature , but by legislation. In the further
course of his speech , Mr. Jones said in this
.country it was not possible for the farmer
'and cotton planter to be benefited directly
by protection. By legislation bringing the
prlco of silver to jl.10 an ounce , where iho
fathers of the republic placed It , and not by
market price , there would bo absolutely a
certain method without any cost \yhatovcr
to the country of 'giving protection to the
farmers and cotton planters , both north and
south. After reading the letter of the presi
dent to Governor Northcn , Mr. Jones said if
ho had boon as explicit before election ns
now ho would not have been elected ,
Mr. , MoPhfirson , democrat , of Now Jersey
asked Mr. Jones a long question , nnd when
ho sat down the latter paid : "I don't ' think
thorn" Is u single senator on the floor who can
understand that question. "
Voorhoos Milken u Siicg stloit.
McPherson started to restate his question ,
hut being appealed to by Mr. Voorheos ,
yielded to the senator. " 1 understand the
senator from Niivada , " said Mr. Yoorbi'es ,
dualres to complete his remarks tomorrow.
I rvgrot ho Is not able to complete them
now , but I shall not press him. I suggest in
tlio economy of tlmo that he and thu senator
from Now Jersey moot between now aud
vrhun the former resumes the lloor and como
to tin understanding as to the question the
senator from Now Jersey has askud. "
[ Laughter. ]
' It will take about that time , " said Mr.
JOI1CV.
' In thn meantime , " said Mr. Voorhcet ,
"as there seems to bo nobody who Is ready to
go on now. and not with a view of denying
anybody the privilege ofspcaklng , I ask for
e. vote on the pending amendment aud Int us
got along In this way. "
"As fast as we can. " Mr. Hill uggostcd.
Mr. MePherson 1 pro for to have the
Humor j'roin Nevada answer ui.y question ,
Ms. Voorhccs Ho can do it tomorrow If
ho can do it at all. [ Laughter. ]
The vice president stated the question to
"be on the amendment of Mr , 1'offor.
Mr , Potter said ho was not ready to vote
on the amendment. Ho desired to submit
komo remark * in advocacy of it.
After a llttlo parliamentary sparring as to
which of the senators , whether Mr. Peft'er
or Mr. Voorhees , was entitled to Iho lloor ,
Mr. Puffer proccoJcd.
Ho had discovered In the public prints
that ho had surrendered and had recom
mended to his political associates to surren
der. "Mr. President , wo have tint surren-
lerod , nor do wo intend to. Wo don't in
tend to interpose facetious opposition , but
it every stage wo shall iutnrpose dotormlned
resistance aud dotormlned opposition. "

The amendment thus voted down revived
with some slight exceptions the coinage act
of 1SSU7 and provided for the frco coinage of
silver.
Agreed to the Voorheon SuDUItutr ,
Mr. Voorhccs then moved that the substi
tute rex | > rtcd by the llnanco committee of
the house bo adopted and asked unanimous
consent that after Its adoption it might ho
treated as open amendment as the original
bill would be. To the latter request there
wns no objection. On this motion the yens
and nays were taken and by a vote of yeas ,
r 8 ; nays , 0 , the substitute reported by the
finance committee wns agreed to. Those
who voted against this substitute were Sen
ators Allen , Bate. Ca.ll , Coke , Irby , Kyle ,
Poffor , Roach nnd Vance.
Air. riTkln < ' Amrnilmcnt.
Mr. Perkins , republican , of California
then offered the amendment of which ho
hud given notice on October 14. It provides
for the coinage of American silver at the
existing ratio , with a sclgniorago charge of
20 per cent. No gold issues of less denomina
tion than $10 are to bo coined , and no legal
tender , national currency or treasury noted
of a less denomination tnan $ o are to bo
Issued. The holder of any standard sllvor
dollars may deposit the same at the treasury
or at any assistant treasury of the United
States and receive therefor notes of de
nominations less than $10 , which notes shall
have the same legal tender quality as the
coin for which they are exchanged. There
is to be appointed a committee
of llvo monetary experts , the mem
bers of which ahull not bo other
wise connected with the government , whoso
duty it shall bo to keep tlio treasury and
the executive advised on nil necessary mat
ters relating to the currency.
Mr. Perkins explained his amendment and
said now. that the slack watorof debate had
como , amendments could bo discussed and
considered dispassionately.
Cullmt Attention to Tholr Change.
Mr. Stewart called attention to the change
over on the part of Voorhecs , Gordon , Ran
som , Hilt , Mills , Turplo and Squire on tbo
silver question , who last spring voted for
free coinage and now on Mr. Peu'er's amend
ment voted against it.
Mr. Allen , populist , of Nebraska ex
pressed regret nt what hocalledabaokdown
to some extent upon the part of the advo
cates of silver.
Mr. Teller , whllo not trying to force a
proposition to coin only sllvor of American
production , as that savored of class legisla
tion , would vote for the Perkins amend
ment , ns it. was better than the proposed act.
Mr. Teller wont on to speaic with great
bitterness of the aescrtion , of the cause of
silver by the republican senators. Ho said
the whole question ought to have been
settled by a concession to tno advocates of
silver. Nobody who hears mo tonight would
disagree with mo lu the statement that If
the men sittin ? in front of mo ( republican
repealers ) had been as ready to concede us
something as the other men who believed in
repeal on the other sldo of the chamber this
would have been u compromise , not a dis
graceful session , and beneficial to us and
beneficial to all alike.
Spolce wltli Aluoli Foollnc.
"If the railroads can't nay the interest on
our bonds that Is not our fault. But our
personal obligations wo pay to the last cent.
To me this is the most terrible moment of
my legislative life , " said Mr. Teller with
much feeling. "To mo it brings moro fear
than anything that has occurred since I en-
tcreU public life. I fear wo uro entering
upon a financial system from which there is
absolutely no escape. I know there ' \yill be
no favorable legislation for silver until the
iVmcrlcan people are heard from at the bal
lot box and heard Irom in a way that will
compel attention to tholr desires.
"Mr , President , I am not a pessimist ; I
have never been. I am an optimist. I have
never seen disaster aud distress growing
out of policies simply because they did not
moot my approval. I have had faith in the
American people. "
Hero Mr. Toller's voice choked and tears
came to his eyes. Ho spoke most Impres
sively and was accorded the undivided at
tention of every senator and the largo audl-
once in the galleries. "I have faith in men.
I can sco the silver lining in a cloud as
quickly us any man living. There never Is a
storm so dark I cannot sco the coming lighten
on the mountain top , but I cannot contem-
pluto this condition of things without abso
lute terror. It strikes to my very soul
and I want to enter this as a warning to the
American pccplo that if they do not resist
they will enter upon a system of industrial
slavery that will bo the worst known to the
human race. "
Mr. Voorhccs desired to secure a vote on
the PorUins amendment , but as Mr. Wolcott
expressed a wish to submit some remarks ho
moved that the senate take a recess until 11
o'clock tomorrow morning , and the motion
was agreed to atPi'lS o'clock.

Air. Hudson ItUm to n Question of Per
sonal 1'rlvllORO Stiito llnnk Tux.
WABIIINO.TON , Oct. 27. Th'o proceedings of
.lie house this morning were opened by Rep-
rcsontatlvo Hudson of Kansas , who rose to a
personal privilege and had read a lonir
special Washington dispatch containing a
statement purporting to have been made by
Judge Lamoreaux , commissioner of tlio ecu-
oral land olUco , to a congressman relative
to the Investigation of the Cherokee Strip
outrages. The statements delved into the
mysteries of Kansas politics and intimated ,
Mr. Hudson suld , his popullstlo coat was
simply n nyisu for simon-puro democracy.
The statement was . followed by some ob
servations of the newspaper correspondent
relative to the alleged antagonism between
Speaker Crisp and Secretary Hoko Smith
and the former's alleged ambition for a seat
lu the senatQ. Mr. Hudson hud a letter from
Jud''o 1-amoroaux , which ho road , denying
ho find Kivmi the correspondent the state
ment nml ho ( Hudson ) denied all knowledge
of thu matter himself and hoped Mr. Crisp
would get tha sotmtoraulp if ho wanted It ,
A wave of applause over the floor and gal-
lericj answered this complimentary allusion
to the speaker.
.AttucUml 1)10 ) A. r. A.
Mr. Woadock of Michigan made a
sensational statement affecting the title
of Amos Llnton , a ruputillean from
Michigan , to his scat in the housf.
It was in thu form of a memorial from ex-
Representative Youmaus , who wns a candi
date against Mr. Llnton. The petition as
serted thutMr. Union's election was neither
legal nor valid. It uftks , said Mr , Woadoclc ,
for a committed to investigate the whole
quoiulon , wlijoh involves the determination
of tha existence and animus of nn un-Ameri
can , illegal aud traitorous organization ,
whh-h , In MlehfKan , has go no to the length
of procuring arms. The organization exists
-sovcral slates. It is particularly aliensve !
in Michigan. There its machinations have
caused a reign of terror.
"Name the organization , " cried a dozen
voices.
"It is known ns the American Protective
association , " replied Mr. Weadock.
Mr , Hopkins ot Illinois protested against
the arraignment of the society as a traitor
ous organization , anO made thn point of
order that the matter was not privileged ,
The speaker overruled the point , but , Mr.
Wiudork's attention being called to the fact
that Mr. Llnton was not proseut , he con
sented to withdraw the matter , and allowed
it to go over until tomorrow.

Today n compilation showing the combined

was completed at the ofllco of the comptrol
ler of currency. It shows that the average
reserve held by the banlcs was 31.49 per cent ;
the cash and cash items on hand aggregated
$1,844,283 and the total volumn of business
was $23,674VJ7 : ; the individual deposits were

is a decided gain over the showing la July

School * ot Mines lor Western State * .
The senate today passed the bill providing
that each of the states of California ,
Oregon , Washington , Montana , Idaho ,
Nevada , Wyoming. Colorado nnd Minnesota
shall receive annually 2S per cent of all
money i paid to the United States for mineral
lands within their boundaries for the main
tenance of a school of mines In each of the
states named , provided that the sum shall
not exceed * 12,000 per annum each. This
bill was originally Introduced by Senator
Pettlgrow , and named South Dakota as a
benollciary. The other states wcro added
at various stages of consideration. The bill
has been favorably reported from committee
in tlio house , and will undoubtedly become a
law within a short time.
rucullnrltlos of Allen's Speech.
When Senator Allen's attention was today
called to the tact that In his famous fifteen-
hour speech just published there did not ap
pear the matter reported to have been
uttered by him late that night against the
mortgage indebtedness of Nebraska , ho re
plied first , thnt ho had not modified his
speech , that every utterance made by him in
that speech was in the printed report Just as
spoken , nnd secondly that ho did not , as re
ported by the press , attack 'the financial
condition of his state. Ho said that what
ho did say , and only that , was that many of
the mortgages which had been canceled in
Nebraska and marltoU "paid" upon the rec
ords were "paid" by foreclosure , nnd that
no adequate idea could bo had of the number
of mortgages In the state which had been
foreclosed by reference to the mortgage rec
ords of the various counties.
Ho said that some democratic senators ,
among them White of Louisiana , had busied
themselves on the morning after ho had
closed his speech in tollingn number of sen
ators that ho ( Allen ) had attacked the finan
cial condition of their states and that ho
even had maligned the stnto of Nebraska.
Senator Allen denied that ho had said
moro of the state of Nebraska than is here
indicated and as appears in' his printed
speech. " Ho stated that the democrats had
made an effort to break him' up In his speech
and to dispel the force of his statements by
misrepresentation as to what ho really did
say.
Wns Dictated by Carlisle.
There Is a report in circulation to the
effect that Senator Jones of Arkansas In
tends rising to a question of privilege on the
floor of the senate before the silver bill is
disposed of and explaining the circumstances
under which the thirty-six
stances - demo
cratic senators on last Saturday signed the
silver compromise. Ho will , it is stated ,
throw the onus upon Secretary Carlisle and
Senator Voorhees. The claim is made , by
the senators who signed the compromise
thnt It was upon the exact lines laid down
by Secretary Carlisle , and that when Sen
ator "Voorhees was approached upon the
subject he gave his assent.
It is further stated that Senator Jones has
the draft of the compromise as written and
approved by Secretary Carlisle , and that ho
intends to make it public. Senator Jones
was not at the capitol today , and there are
no means of confirming or denying the re
port. It looks as though there would bo
something In it for the secretary of the
treasury.
I'ottlerotv AVIIl Insist on Ills Amendment.
It Is probable that the Pettigrow amend
ment to the bill suspending for oue year the
provisions of the statutes requiring an an
nual outlay of $ 100 worth of labor upon all
mining claims will kill that measure. The
Pettigrow amendment , which was suggested
to him bv some of his mining constituents
around Hill City , S. D , , provided that the
suspension should not apply to claims hold
by corporations and aliens ; that it should
apply only to lndlvlduals.and those living in
the states nnd territories where the claims
wcro located. He wanted to help out only
the actual operators of mines who were
cramped by the financial stringency. The
bill with the Peltigrcw amendment will
likely bo withdrawn. Senator Potticrow
stated to Tint Bui : man today that if the bill
was pressed to a passage he would stand by
his amendment and that It would bo adopted.

PeimvS. HEATH ,
THAT HAWAIIAN I'IKIIILISJI.
It Is Again Kagrosilnc Considerably At
tention ut Washington.
WibiiiNUTON , Oct. 27 , Loading members
of the committee on foreign affairs in the
house , and those of the majority in partic
ular. expect that President Cloyeland will
'
scud to congress immediately 'after the sil
ver hill U out of the way his mess'a'go and
the correspondence on the Hawaiian matter.
It teems to be the impression that the
mcssaga is already prepared.
Ono of the democratic members p'f the
colnmiltea said that there were three solu
tions of the trouble in Hawaii , Ono was the
restoration of the old order ot things by
placing the queen upon the throne ; the
others , annexation or protectorate. That
ono of these plans would bo adopted was
thought probable , but which would uo
favored by the administration or congress ,
ho could not say.
Mr. Hltt of Illinois , formerly chairman of
the committee on foreign .Affaire , says the
dlfllciilty of dealing With vh'JIawallan prob
lem was ono wnlch could 1 hot bo overesti
mated. Annexation with Tho"peculiar condi
tions existing In the islands..was something
that might well ptizzlo the wisest statesmen.
With the Chinese trod bio \TO have in this
country ana the additional question which
the annexation of the Islands would raise ,
not only In regard to Chinese , but Japanese
and the natives ofHho islands , was ono
which would naturally cause some delibera
tion before the Islands wcro annexed as a
territory nnd Intended for statehood. It
would bo the height of absurdity to try tenet
not up the old queen and restore her to
power. To establish t protectorate would
mean to abandon a republican form of gov
ernment for the islands , ns a protectorate
would not mean that this government waste
to offer Its protection alone , but that it in
tended ns well to govern the islands as a
possession , ;
If a protectorate w ro established this
government wouhl havfe to1 navn thn affairs
of the Islands conducted In a manner which
would bo satisfactory to us and not bo gov
erned by tvliat inlnht be the popular will of
the pcojilo now inhabiting the islands.
Mr. Hut says that it Is no essury to have
the islands , that they rfro worth moro to tha
United States than a flpetof ton of the best
vessels afloat. Wo build ships and for the
same ro.tson wo ought to acquire the islands ,
as they are the Malta of the Pacific ocean
and absolutely uoccssary to the Unlled
States. Mr. Hltt , whllb presenting the dif
ficulties , is not wlthout'a ' scheme which ho
thinks would prove satisfactory. Ho says
the Islands could bo acquired as a military
nnd naval station , nnd governed as such by
the United States. The reason that the
United States wants the islands Is the same
that induced this country to build war ves
sels ana establish military posts. They are
wanted for war purposes nnd U
acquired as such could bo 'governed without
disturbing existing conditions or submitting
the Islands to the rule of the most populous
yet Ignorant classes of the Islands.

WASHINGTON" , Oat. 27i Miss Daisy Gar
land , daughter of ox-United States Attorrne >
General Garland , committed suicide at her
homo ir this city by shooting herself this
morning. She was U5 ycaisold and is sup
posed to have been insane at the tl.no.
Miss Garland had spent a very pleasant
evening with her father ana brothers last
night at their home and retired in good
spirits , After breakfast this morning ,
she retired to her .room where her
brother Will went shortly after to talk with
her concerning a theater party. Ho knocked
on the door , and ' , not receiving
any response , burst' Into the room and
found his sister lying on the floor.
The bullet had passed through her heart.
About two months ago * Miss Garland
suddenly left homo "and was found
in Baltimore , but since that time
nothing wrong lius"'boon noticed
The cause is not dolliii ely known , but is
attributed mainly to a ro'ligious mania.
From the position in which Miss Gut-land's
body lay It is evident that she had stood In
front of a larco mirror uml.takon deliberate
aim at her heart. She had. taken the precaution -
caution of turning on all the gas jots in the
room , so that in case the" bullet failed in its
deadly worn the eras wo'uld smother her in
the sleep of death. Tho'ex attornox general
had loft the house for jhis office and it was
an hour or moro before hjs daughter's awful
death was known to hiruT "Ho was so com
pletely overcome th/itiha" could scarcely
stand when the nows.wuC , . brok'on to him.

The true cause of. Miss .Garland's self-in-
fiictcd death may nbvor bo known. She had
a secret of sonic kind that preyed constantly
on her mind , but it is said none of her friends
know exactly. what it was. An intimate
friend said this was the cause. Many sur
mises as to the real causes could1 bo made ,
but as she had persistently refused to com
municate It to any one , 'it ' is probable that
the secret died with her. It was thought ,
ho said , by some of her associates , that she
had a love affair that turned out badly. She
had been crossed in love. If this were true
the family or friends professed not .to know
of the man in the caso. No one in the house
heard the pistol shot , nor "did any quo heat
her fall. Her family'- relations woo of the
most pleasant kind. ! Slio was a great
favorite with her father , who supplied her
with every comfort and studied to make her
happy. . _ _ /

Measure Supposed to llo Now In the Hands
at the I'reBtdenc.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 27-rIt Is understood
that a rough draft ot tho. proposed tariff bill
is now in the hands of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle. Some of the features
are radical.
The woolen schedule Is the Springer frco
wool bill which passed the house last con
gress , There Is to be a radical cut made in
the glass schedule. Raw materials will bo
added to the frco list. Iron ore goes on the
frco list and there Is a very considerable
shaving down of the entire Iron and steel
schedule. The tax on whisky will bo in
creased above 20 cents. An increase in the
beer tax Is decided upon.
The subcommittee have not quite made ut )
their minds on the sugar question , but they
are practically dotormlned not to try to got
any revenue out of sugar. The purpose Is to
classify refined and Unrefined sugar closer
together , but this is moro apt to bo done by
reducing tlio duty on refined sugar than by
putting any duty on tha 'unrefined. Tha
bounty will go.
Either an income' tax or an inheritance
tax will bo provided for ' to Increase the rev

Instant the largo room was ablaze. The men
quickly gavp the alarm and then started for
the stairs , but the flames had already cut oil
their escape and the only means of exit left
them wcro the windows , fifty foot from the
ground. By this time the heat was so in
tense that they were forced to creep out on
the windowsllls and hang by tholr hands
until the lire department arrived. Thollamos
bursting from the windows burned tholr
hands and faces , but they hung there until
the men of truck E got ladders and brought

the flames from nearly a score of engines.
At 2 o'clock it looked ns if the whole block

they had been deserted some time before
the walls foil In. Not ono of the families
had a chance to save any of their goods.

Mrs. Rudlgor evidently passed a comforta-

They all toll about the same story. It was
rather dark and none of them were sulll-

prior to the shooting. They saw the couple
standing ou the street , evidently engaged in.
conversation. Reiser started to go north.
Mrs. Rudipor llred toward him twice. Im
mediately after tin second shot ho fell. She
then held the weapon at her own head and
fired and fell. This is the substance of tholr

Ilclsur's Condition.
Inquiry was made last night at the
Presbyterian hospital regarding the condi
tion oftRcl&cr. The head nurao said Iliac
the patient could not possibly survive. Ho
might pull along for n day or two , but the
chances vvero against him , and the nurses
expected death at any time.
When asked regarding hl injuries the
run-so said that the bullet had savored the
spine and that his body below the breast
was paralyzed and perfectly numb. At
times tlio patient rallies slightly and for a
moment is conscious and able to utter a few
words.
Sirs , Hudicnr'a Record.
Inquiry yesterday developed the fact that
the record of Mrs. Rudigorboforo marrlago
was far from savory. She earn a to Omaha-
from Cedar .Rii'iiids , la. , about ten years
ago and entered the Convent of the
Sacred Heart. She only remained at the
Institution before slio became Icnown as a
woman of suspicious character , and in a
short time she wan an inmate of the notorious
rious ilivn nt Thirteenth and Jackson streets ,
over which. Madame Luoper presided ; At
that llmo she was known by the name of
Kloiso Lomonlr , and In the course of a yea *
brtcamo a well known character amoug the
depraved circles ot the town.
The Lcmonir woman is remembered as an
inmate of Manama Loopor's bagnio on nc-
count of a mysterious sulcldo whi''b occurred
during hyr rosldunco there. John D. Hos-
well , alias Allan , was found in a room In
the house on the evening of October
3 , 1SS5 , with a bullet in his heart ,
iio was the lover of Gurtlo Norton , another

play were entertained at the tlmo.Thcro
was no bvldcnco to support the murder
theory , however , and the coroner's Jury ro-
turnutl a verdict of suicide.
Mat Her In a llnciito.
It was while she was a habltuo of the re
sort Hint Klolse Lomoiilr mot the man to
whom she was married. Tholr mooting oc-
out-red ono night when Rudigcr was out ou a
spree with a party of convivial
uumi'uuiuiia. uu tviia iiuiibiuuuu
thn woman and before the night was ever
she succeeded in Inducing him to marry hor.
The next day ho decided to makn the best of
a bad bargain and took hnr to his father' *
home In Kansas to remove her from her
vicious KurromioInc-R and associates.
T.lfo ( n the Kansas town was too ijiilot for
Mrs. Rudlper , and * ho soon induced her hus
band to coino hack to Omaha. Rudlgor wai
employed In the coal department of tliu
UnionPaellio railroad at the tlmo , and ob
tained a transfer to Rook Springs. Wyo , ,
whuro ho hud charge of the mines of the
company , Thoru ho was taken with the
mountain fever ami waaobllgml to return to
Oimina , whore ho resided until ho removed
to South Onmlm.
Since tholr return to Omaha Mrs. Rudlgar
has posed ns n pure and virtuous woman.
Her early history was not remembered , and
no ono who knew her as KuOIger's wife sus-
peeled that she had once been an Inmate of
ono of the most notorious dives in the city ,
Freil Ituilluer'ii Ituiuiinoc ,
Fred Rudlger , husband of the Imprisoned
woman , was seen by 11 reporter for M'JIK ' Bun
last night at tho.jiolleo station and In a very
feeling manner spoke of the pait history of
her life.
He did not deny the fact that ho had mot
and il rt loved her in a house of ill repute ,
but ho attributes the blame of the girl's '
downfall to her early life.
"My wife's fa thin- , who Is now living In ,

only a child 12 years of ago. He placed her
in u convent and deserted hor. The girl
wai not satisfied there and after remaining
in the convent for about six months eho left
and lived In different families , doing what
work she could to earn her living , The
only name of any family ilio lived in , that I
