SANE DAUGHTER PLACED IN MADHOUSE
I'ate of ftl.000,000 Raid ninc on
the Cose Xorses Aid In tho
Earape ( tka Vesaa
That truth I as strange as fiction, fre
quently straxgrr. la demonstrated ao often
In real Ufa that few observers question th
triteneaa of the saying. The case of Mlaa
Mabel Spang of Pittsburg, recently re
vealed In the courts of Klnga county. New
York, presents sensational features that
one would scarcely look for outside The
covers of a yellowback.
Miss Spang Is 1 years of age, daughter of
Charles II. Spang, a millionaire manufac
turer of Pittsburg, Pa. Upon application
of her mother she was adjudged Insane six
months ago and committed to Dr. George
Honda sanitarium In Yonkers. According
to the testimony of six physicians, two of
whom had refused (he mother's request to
adjudge the daughter' Insane, Miss Spang
la perfectly sound of mind.
But for the sympathy of two nurses In
rr. Bond's sanitarium who, while engaged
In their work of surveillance, became con
vinced that the young woman was perfectly
sane, she might have remained In solitary
confinement for the rest of her life.
Norses Aid In Escape, .
Theso nurses. Miss Satymore and Miss
Culiln, facilitated communication by mall
between the. young woman and her outside
friends, and In this manner succeeded In
Interesting Mr. Bebro In the case.
Miss Spang, In reading a newspaper some
months ago, came upon an Item which
stated that owing ' to the efforts of Mr.
Bebro certain persons unjustly Incarcerated
In Insane asylums had regained their free
dom. She clipped the article and mailed It
to her chum. Miss Seism, a graduate of
Smith college, whom she had met while at
a faxhlonabla boarding school.
Miss Seism, who had been unable to find
cut what had become of Miss Spang, was
startled at hearing that she was confined in
an asylum as Insano. She went to Mr.
Hebro at once and laid certain facts before
him.
Girl Seised and Gaa-sred.
She told how last summer While she and
Miss Spang were boarding together at
Rlverhead. L. I., a letter had come from
Mrs. Spang announcing the death of Miss
S pang's grandfather In France and asking
her to com home and prepare to accom
pany her to France.
Miss Spang and herself had gone to the
Spang residence, where upon entering the
girl hnd been seized by three detectives In
the presence of a lawyer, who had cried
out to them to "gng her." She had then
beicn ordered out of the house, and a few
days later she read a paragraph In the pa
pers annonnclng the departure for Europe
of Mrs. and Mies Spang, Mlmi Seism re
peated her story In court.
Miss Satymore, the nurse, also told how
she had become convinced of the sanity of
the girl and had assisted her In gaining
help from the outside. She described the
comforts which Mls Spang was allowed to
have for the 100 a week which her mother
paid for her maintenance at the asylum.
These consisted of a straight-backed
chair, a rocker, a bed and a dresser. Her
meals, which she had to eat In her room,
were served to her on a tray. Her windows
were barred with Iron grating and with
perpendicular bars.
One of, the physicians whom the mother
had engaged to examine the girl had re
fused to adjudge her Insane, saying: "AH
she needs Is a little kindness."
Leo Bamberger, who conducted the case
for the young woman before Justice
Marean, put Drs. York.' Brush," Lambert,
Lawrence and Montgomery on the stand
and from each obtained a declaration that
the young and beautiful girl was perfectly
sound of mind.
Father Xot la Cms.
. He laid great stress on the fact that the
father of the young woman did not appear
at all in support of his wife's contention
that his daughter was Insane and was in
do way associated with the mother In her
efforts to have their daughter Incarcerated.
In the course of the examination Justice
Marean asked the girl if in the event of her
being adjudged sane by him and released
she would return to her mother, but this
Miss Spang emphatically refused to do.
Mtas Spang, who Is petite ant very pretty
and wears glasses, bears every sign of re
finement and modesty In her face. She was
dressed In a simple black frock, and while
being taken to court stopped on her way
to kiss her nurses. ,
Miss Epang'a friends are very bitter in
their criticisms of hr mother. In their
opinion a motive for the daughter's Incar
ceration was a desire to separate her from
her father, whom, she feared, she would In
fluence in the disposition of his fortune,
which Is said to be close to $3,000,000.
Miss Satymore, the nurse, declared that
she had resigned from the Yonkers estab
lishment ruther than have anything to do
with what she called the persecutions of a
sweet and Innocent girl Chicago Chronicle.
OMAHA WHOLESALE MARKET.
Dyspeptle Philosophy.
When doctors disagree It generally takes
an autopsy to decide.
The man who wants his pleasures sugar
coated takes his troubles In allopathic
doses.
In the make-up of some people It Is
ard to distinguish between ambition and
Debt la usually the result of a desire to
make our friends resemble three bum
dimes.
The oftener a woman has her heart
broken the more she enjoys her sorrow. ,
The fact that some marriages are happy
and others unhappy Is purity accidental.
A woman without a pin Is sometimes
as badly off as roan without s cork
screw. The woman with a bad temper .Isn't any
more amiable when she loses It, -
The sliver lining of a cloud Is never visi
ble te the naked eye,
Tims will tell on woman. If she doesn't
tell first.
Money talksprovided you. don't squeeM
It o tightly that It can't articulate.
Many a fellow, has been disappointed In
love who thought the girl had money.

CATTLE There were no cattle on sale
today, except a tew odds and ends, and as
a result no change in the market took
place. For the week receipts show a loss a
compared with last week amounting to
about 9,000 head and aa compared wltn tne
same week of last year there la an increase
of about 6,000 heud.
Owing to the smnll number of cattle on
sale this week it has been rather hard to
Judge the market. The demand, though,
has been fairly good for everything at all
desirable, and as a result fair to good steers
may be quoted lufciOc higher and choice
cattle would undoubtedly . have advanced
that much had there been any on sale.
Common cattle may be a little stronger,
but the change on that kind- has not been
so noticeable. Good to choice cattle could
be quoted from 35 to 84.50. fair to good 34
to la and the common and warmed-up kinds
from 84.15 down.
A few western rangers have been onale
this week, but most of them were feeders.
The few beet steers that did arrive sold at
stronger prices and the same was true of
cows and desirable feeders.
The demand for cows was fully equal to
the supply all the weak and In fact seemed
to be In excess of it. As a result an active
and stronger market was experienced.
Anything selling from 32.25 up could safely
be quoted 2ofe3oc higher than a week ago,
while canners and cutters are about 10W
20c higher. The very commonest grades of
canners closed very slow and weak, or at
abou. the low point of the season, soma
going as low as II per hundred. Good to
choice cows can be quoted from 92.90 to
33.50 and something strictly choice In the
way of heifers would, of course, bring con
siderably more than that. Fair to good
cows sell from $2.25 to 82.75 and canners and
cutters mostly from 81.60 to 32.
Bulls have sold at a little stronger prices
this week where the quality was good and
where It was not there has not been much
change. Oood to choice grades sell from
82.75 to 31.60 and the less desirable kinds
from 32.75 down. Veal calves have shown
little change, best grades selling up to 36.60.
The supply of stockers snd feeders has
not been excessive this week and In fact
choice cattle have been scarce. The de
mand seems to be chiefly for cattle weigh
ing 900 pounds or better and such cattle ars
around lOftlfc higher. Light cattle, how
ever, and particularly those of common
quality, have been slow sale and closing
prices are ir anytning a little lower tnan
those In force a week ago. Good to choice
grades may be quoted from 83.60 to 84.15.
fnlr to good from 89.25 In S 60 and the less
desirable grades from 33.15 down. Repre

HOGS There was a fairly liberal run of
hogs reported thla morning, but quite a
liberal percentage of them were billed di
rect to packers. The market opened fairly
active and mostly I'Vio higher than yes
terday's average. The bulk of the sales
went at 34.40 and 34.42H, with the choicer
loads at 34.45 and a top at 34.47V All of
the early arrivals were soon disposed of,
but the same as has been the case re
cently, some of the trains were late, which
delayed the close to quite an extent.
Receipts of hogs this week have been
quite liberal for this time of year, there being
an Increase over last week of about 7,000
head, and as compared with the same
week of last year, there is an Increaae of
about 20.000 head. Prices have fluctuated
back and forth to quite an extent. At the
opening of the week the tendency of prices
was upward, and, in fact, the high point
of the month to date was reached. On
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, how
ever, packers were bearish, while on Sat
urday there was some reaction. Closing
prices are fully 2Wc lower than the close
of last week.
Toward iwon today about 10 cars of hogs
arrived and, the earns as yesterday, the
market closed weak. The late sales went
largely at 14.40, or weak to 24o lower than
the early market. Representative sales:

SHEEP-There were no fresh arrivals of
Sheep snd lambs here this morning, which
leaves supplies for the week about 9.9u4
head short of the receipts of last week,
but about 7,0u0 head In excess of the corre
sponding wee it of last year.
Owing to lit laxt, that there have been
practically no fresh receipts on sale sine
Thursday It Is Impossible to tell muca
about ths true situation. On Thursday
sales were made all the way from 10c to
26c higher than the close of last week, and
had desirable grades been here for the
last two days, the general opinion Is that
they would have sold to good advantage.
Interest now centers on prospects tor the
future As a general thing, traders are
looking for a good market after the usual
holiday supply of poultry and game Is dis
posed of, snd consequently are well satis
fied with the general situation.
Very tew feeders have been on the mar
ket of late, but those that hare arrived
changed hands at good, strong prices.

PANAMA CUBA CANADA
Arrangements have been made by The Bee to continue to give its readers the benefit of Carpenter's
superb letters of travel for the coming year. Mr. Carpenter needs no introduction to our subscribers.
He is an experienced and veteran journalist, whose powers of vivid, description are unsurpaFsed, and
who has access to sources of information and entree for interviews with noted people possessed by no other news
paper writer. ,
Mr. Carpenter's plan contemplates a survey of American activity among our neighbors. lie is about to
sail for Panama where Uncle Bam is already beginning to spend millions of money on the great ship canal. The
progress of the canal and the opportunities for Americans in the canal lone are of supreme present interest.
From Panama Mr. Carpenter will return by way of Cuba, the baby republic, which has had a new life
since the war of liberation. The United States is giving it the benefit of reciprocity, Americans are settling
there and it is becoming a reflex of our American industry. :
Another trip of observation will take in Canada and the British American possessions on our north. '
Within the past few years about 200,000 American farmers have settled in Canada and American capital is ,
exploiting Canadian resources. Wbat has been accomplished and what is yet to be accomplished will be told by
Mr. Carpenter. :" , . . .
Here is his own prospectus in brief for the coming letters: . .; ' -
