John P. Karris of Macedonia , who persisted
In calling on his wlfo after the commis
sioners of Insanity had given him ordern to
stay away , was up for another examination
yesterday morning. So far as could be
learned ho had done nothing out of the way ,
but hi * wife was afraid of him and had him
nrii'Bted for fear of whit he- might do. He
has been living with relatives in Dmireath ,
Marlon county , la. , for the papt month , nnd
had earned enough money to pay his railway
fare from there to Macedonia , and $5 over ,
It seemed from the btcry ho told that lily
relatives In Marlon county were as onMous
to gel rid" of him as those In Pottawattamlo ,
and had urged him to comu back and make
op with hlH wife. Ho said , when he found
what trouble he had gotten Into , that he was
n fool for coming b.iclt , and would not have
done o If his relatives had not urged him
BO strongly. He was ami to St. Dcrnard'ti
hospital for d week's examination , The be
lief of the commissioners Is that he Is not
liiBine , but merely possessfd of a rankling
desire to beat tomebody , and chooser Ilia
vvtfo as tha most appropriate subject.

Mrs lAn'e ' Carter , alias I.lrzle llarton ,
was given an opportunity ) esterday morning
to tell all she Knew about the death of Dr
P. W Pouhon , with the member * of th- >
Hoard of Comml'slonets of Infinity for on
audience. She was arttcd a great many quot.
tlony as lo why 'he thought that Ir Poul-
son was murdered by his wife , and why
i-'io wrote the letters In which she exploited
her belief , to Mrs. W. A. Mynster nnd others
In thli city She replied to all questions
with a volume and rap'dlty of diction which
mndo the commissioners wonder whether rhe
was wound up for eight days or only twenty-
four hours.
' 'Of course I wrote the letter ? to Xlynster
and III ? wlfV said she , "mil the ) did not
take them In the way In whlih they were In
tended to bo taken I Intended Hum to b'
like- the exhortations of a minister , who
warns his congregation to turn from their
Was or suffer the consequences "
Slip said she- former ! ) lived In Brockport ,
N. Y , nnd her bui > ne 8 was that of a medi
cal practitioner and clalrvovant , most of bar
practice being by mall She btcamo ac
quainted with Dr. Paulson fifteen years ago
In Chicago , when ho came- Into a photograph
gallery which she was running on M.idlson
street. He told her sh ; could nnkt * more
money In the west , and she took his
advice and left Chicago She conducted
photograph galleries later In Denver , Silt
I/ike Clt ) , San Francisco and other wcstcin
cities
"Attempts were made to poliKiii him several
tinrs In California , " she went on. "The Inet
tlmo wau when I was living In Los Angjles
Ho cime In to see me one day and said he
wau going to Coincil Bluffs , for he couldn't
e t a meal In hli own home without being
poisMned. He had taken supper the night b -
fore at his home In Frultvale , the members
of his family being picsent. He went to
bed , and when ge got up In the morning
his wlfe'o mother was the only one there
He a-Ked for his breakfast She told him
there was nothing In the hou e , but finally
made him a cup of coffee. Shortly after he
drank It he was taken v'olentlj sick , vom
ited , and was In bed for four days A chem
ist who made an Investigation said ho had
taken enough arsenic to kill a dozen men ,
"When I picked up an Omaha paper and
yaw nn account of the doctor's death I at
once told , 'Well , they've made away with him
at last' I came right over nnd went up
to the room and saw blood on the Moor and
bloody clothes lying around. There way a
murk on his face , as If made by finger
nails , and his neck , I have been told , was
black , as though he had been choked. Uvorv-
body knowd that heart disease does not have
that sort of effect. Some tlni' after his
death I received a letter from a man In
Omaha , who bald he would help me find out
who had killed Dr. Paulson. I went across
the river and found he had what was called
an 'Oulja' board. We all sat around It aid U
spelled ths- name of Dr. I'oulEon. Tlie iian
with the board said , 'What do you want ? '
and the board went on and spelled this sen
tence : 'I was murdered by my wife Send
for Mrs. Carter. I want ) ou to help her all
you can to uniavel the mysteiy of my taking
off. '
"Dr. Poulson had told me often of the de
testation he felt for Mr" . Selp , who Is now
.Mrs Mynstar. One- hour after his death a
on of his old nurse peeked through a hole
In the door nnd saw Mynsjer and Mrs. Selp
ransacking the doc'or's , papers. Ths doctor
always drank milk before he went to bed.
The morning after his death Mrs. Selp
found some milk In his room and gave It to
his son Hiram , telling him to take It home to
his wife , who could use It in cooking. He
took It home and It soon turned a queer
color , between green and blue. HIM wife un
fortunately threw It away without having It
analyzed. "
When asked as to whether she had ever
been an Inmate of any asylum In California ,
Mrs. Carter said she had , "but only as a
newspaper woman. They had mo go In for
awhile to find out how things were being
run , and my accounts were published In the
San Francisco papers. "
She also told the board that she was the
daughter ol J. H. Headley , the English
writer , and a niece of J. T. Headley , the
American historian.
W. C. Estep , the undertaker who burled
Dr. Poulson , and who hag been made the re
cipient of some violent phllllplcs from Mrs.
Carter's pen , told the board what he knew
about the case , and In thei course of his tes
timony told a rather funny Incident that
casts a shadow over Mrs. Carter's pretensions
to "clear-sightedness , " as she defines clalr-
voyancy. One day ho ate dinner with his
attorney In a down town restaurant , and
while there he told the attorney a full his
tory of the affair. The next day Mrs. Car
ter sent him a letter In which she ? ald : "You
think you're pretty sharp- but I'm sharper
than you are. I know every thought there
Is in ) our mind as soon as I see you. "
She then startled him by telling him of
the talk he had with the attorney the day
before In the restaurant , and repeated
quite a number of things he had said. There
was no one In the restauiant at the time
the conversation took place , and at first ho
was Inclined to think there might be some
thing In her claims to supernatural powers.
But this supposition was speedily knocked
In the- head when , shortly after , he met this
attorney and found that Mrs. Carter had had
a talk with the latter and ho had told her
of several things which Cstep liad said.
Dr. Thomas of the board said ho was sure
she was laboring under a delusion , even if
she was not really Insane. But as long as
she was able to euro for herself and would
rather have her case go to trial In the federal
court than go to an asylum , the bead de
cided to grant her request for a continuance
of a week. Her preliminary hearing bsforo

The detectives of the Postoffice department
havs been doing some great work recently In
the suppression of the green goods business
says the Washington Star. Heretofore the
operators of this kind of swindle have been
located In the east , and chiefly In Nw Yorl
City. Finding the metropolis too hot to hold
them recently , thev have established head
quarters In the west. Thre-o gangs , one lo
cated at Oakland , Gal. , one at Hlllsdale
Mich. , and one at Chicago , have been broker
up through the efforts of the government
hawkshaws. One of the most enterprising
of the gangs had headquarters at Sacramento
and Oakland. It added some new features to
the old fraud. Letters nnd circulars were
sealed , addressed and stamped , but. Instead
of depositing them In the malls , the swindlers
themselves canceled the stamps with bogub
postmarks , after which the envelopes w re
cut or torn open. This gave the letters th ?
appearance of having been regularly mailed
received and opened by the addressees. The
letters wcro then dropped about In cities and
small towns where they would be likely to
be picked up by prospective victims.
A person finding one of these letters would
naturally Infer that it had been received ,
opened and lost by the addressee. It was
Intended that the finder should then avail
himself of the opportunity to obtain for a
small price counterfeit money printed from
stolen government plates and Indistinguish
able from the genuine. One advantage of
this Idea was that It did not render the oper
ators amenable for violation of the postal
laws. However , the subsequent correspond
ence with the victims was carried on through
the malls.
It was an Ingenious scame , and to convict
the criminals was no easy matter. Postomce
detectives entered Into correspondence with
the swindlers , and the letters which the lat
ter wrote were photographed , to be held for
evidence In court. This was necessary. In
order that the original documents might be
returned , as requested by the green goods
men. If they had not been returned , sus
picion might have been aroused. In this
manner a deal was arranged , and It re
sulted In the arrest of two of the criminals ,
who were afterward convicted and sentenced.

DES MO1NES , Nov. 29 ( Special. ) H U
announced that the movement In favor ot a
2-cent-per-mlle passenger rate on railroads in
this state wilt be brought up again In the
legislature the coming winter. The an-
nouncsment Is generally made at about this
stage ot the proceedings each legislative win
ter. The advocUes of the measure who have
declared they will bring It forward arc not
very welt Informed as to the probable atti
tude of the legislature tow aid It , but will
give- that body a chance lo go on record.
Since the winter of 188S there has not been a
session of the legislature when this question
has not been brought before the assembly.
In the famous legislature of 1SSS the anti-
railroad s ° ntlment was strong , and that body
enacted the laws for rallroid control which
arc now In force. They made the railroad
commissioners elective , and made the most
Important changes In tha laws. At that
time the move for the 2 cent fare came near
succeeding. The bill passed the house , but
failed on a close vote In the senate. Sines
then each legislature has had a chance to
vote on the measure , but It has never had a
serious chnnce of passage. It can only bo
conjectured how the next legislature will
stand on the question , but the opinion Is
that there Is little prospect of the measure
getting any formidable backing. The gen
eral view is that the legislature will not mK
up much In railroad matters.
E. E. Carpenter of Belolt , who hap been
engaged for several years In an effort to get
the atyssscd values of the railroad prop
erties In the state Increased , will be on
hand again the coming winter. Ho was In
the city recently , and announced tint he
had been before the boards of supervisors of
neaily all the counties of the state , and had
secured authority to represent nearly all of

an effort to get legislation that will compel
the cxtcutlve council to Inciease the assess
ment. His plan heretofore liaa b en
to work with the executive coun
cil , which has always received
him coldly. One of the reasons why he has
never had much Influenc ? with the council
1 ? that his plan Involves a snug fee for hlm-
wlf If ho gets the Increase demanded. He
makes contracts with the county boards of
supervisors by1 which they agree to give him
half the amount which the county gets on
account of the Increased assess nent In taxes.
If he should secure even a small Increase
In the assessment It would give him a large
amount In commissions. It Is understood that
In his effort to get.the legislature to Increase
the assessment he will have the assurance
of commissions , to be paid In this way , If

out being carried , for ) ears. She Is a de
vout member of the Methodist church , and
during all the time of her affliction she has
prayed for relief. Ten days ago she felt an
inspiration that her praer was to b an
swered. That same day Mr. and Mrs. Heslop
of this city returned from Chicago. While
there they Imd an audience with one of Chi
cago's "healers , " and they were so Impressed
with tliq way he was healing the. persons
who came before hint by prayer that Imme
diately upon their return they gave Mrs.
Van Syko the money to defray her eNpenses
to the city. She left In her helpless condi
tion by herself , and the first word Miat came
a few days ago was that after one audience
and prayer with the healer , she was able to
walk. Today more Information comes that
she Is nearly cured. For ten years before
she haa not walked , nnd the people here , who
are familiar with her case , look upon the
euro as something of a miracle.

A Till ! null Story.
Twelve years ago Leander Lindsay of Law-
rencevlllo , Ind. , placed a cattish In an eight-
foot deep spring of water on his farm. _ Then
the spring became filled up by the 'caving
In of the earth , and for more thin ten years
It remained clos d with dirt. The recent
drouth produced a scarcity of water on hip
farm , and Mr. Lindsay concluded to reopen
and clean out the long-co ! ed spring. When
he reached Its former bottom he found an
old tin can partial ! ) tilled with sand and
debrli' , and In the can , with scarcely water
enough to cover It , was the citflsh alive and
apparently uninjured by Its long burial be
neath eight feet of earth. That It could live
for more than ten jeare confined In a narrow
spice that almost precluded movement seems
Impossible , but the truthfulness of Mr. Lind
say Is unquestioned.
