WILDE'S MANIA
Two Leading1 Physicians Give An
Opinion That Oscar Wilde Has
a Diseased Mind.
Poor Boy Kills Himself to be Free
From Svengali A Powder Mine
Blows
up, Doing Consider
able Damage.
Sioux City, la., May 3. Dispatches
received by the officials of the Sioux
City & Northern Railway Company at
4:30 this afternoon from the company's
agent at Sioux Center, 45 miles north
east of here, tell of a terrible cyclone
near there, in which a number of peo
ple were killed and injured and much
property destroyed. The wires were
blown down, and telegraphic reports
are very meager.
The first dispatch received said the
cyclone passed three miles northeast
Sioux Center. Schoolhouses near the
town were destroyed, teachers killed,
and a number of children killed and
injured. The whole country in the
path of the storm was devastated. The
Sioux City & Northern track between
Perkins and Doon was washed out for
several miles.
Dispatches from Sioux Center at 8:30
P. M. say three school houses and at
least 20 residences and barns were
swept away. At the school houses two
teachers and three pupils were killed
and many injured. Two women were
found dead at 6 o'clock not far from the
point where one of the school build
mers stood. One man who arrived in
Sioux Center late in the evening re
ported that his bouse was blown away
and his family killed. He himself es
caped, and reports that at least 200 or
300 people must have been killed.
Relief parties have been sent out
from Hull, Sioux Center and Orange
City, neighboring towns, but their
work is being carried on in total dark
ness in the midst oi a tremendous wind
and rain storm. It is consequently
proerressinsr slowly. . A . number of
bodies have been recovered, although
the exact number cannot be learned.
Everv one is violently excited, and

A MANIA.
The Defense In of Wilde Will be Insanity
Which Is Hereditary In the Family.
Mew Yobk, May 3. A London
cable to a morning paper says: "Oscar
Wilde is now said by his friends to be
the victim of mania. Dr. Forbes
Winslow and Dr. Blandford, eminent
specialists in diseases of the mind,
are busily occupied in investigating
the record of the Wilde family and
preparing a diagnosis of the patient's
mental and physical bondition. It is
more than likely that when Oscar
Wilde is next placed on trial, .the tes
timony of these learned men will be
made a feature of the defense, in order
to offset the possibility of the next
jury finding him guilty of the charges
brought against him. The plea will
be that he, guilty or innocent of the
charge, is a subject for pathological
treatment, and not for the laws of
vengeance. This course is said to be
contemplated by Sir Edward Clarke
in opposition to the wishes of the
Wilde's relatives. Great secresy is
being observed in the matter and
none of tnose concerned win tain
about it.
There is no sucerestion that any of
Wilde's ancestors were afflicted, even
in a remote way, with the form of
degeneracy attributed to him. The I
hereditary problem is far more com
plex than that. Many forms of nerv
ous diseases in parents might produce
in the child Dathol02ical conditions
that would, unless checked, bring him
within the reach of the law. . This is
generally acknowledged by physicians
and the profession is delighted at the
prospect of this point of view becom
in? the issue at law.
Sir William Wilde, Oscar's father,
was remarkably eccentric, although
almost a genius as an oculist ana as an
antiquarian, Oscar Wilde has long
been regarded as a subject of the- form
of insanity called by the French "folie
ambitieuse" the signs of which are
inordinate vanity and thirst for notor
iety.
SENSATIONAL LITEJKATCBE.
The Effect of the "Trilby" Craze Already
Showing; Itself.
Habtpokd, Conn., May 3. Norton
Reed lies in the morgue here as a
result of the "Trilby" craze, having
committed suicide by taking arsenic
while harboring the hallucination
that he was under the hypnotic influ
ence of Svengali, the bad man of Du
Maurier's noveL
Reed was 18 years of age, the son of
Mrs. Amos Pratt, who, as a widow,
married a wealthy shipbuilder of
Essex, Conn. A year ago Reed came
to this city and entered the employ of
Brown, Thompson & Co. as steno
grapher. He gave up this place three
weelcs ago to become amanuensis to
tne Kev. .f ayson Hammond, tne evan
gelist.
teed was fond of literature, cnieny
novels. When "Trilby" came out he
was enthusiastic and read the volume
until he became "Trilby" mad. Mr.
Hammond heard groans in the barn
in the rear of his house and found
Reed lying on the floor of the carriage-
nouse, writhing in pain. A pnysician
was called, who asked him why he at
tempted suicide. Reed replied:
.Because tnat villain Bvengau nyp-
notized me. I tried to sing this after
noon and he would not let me. The
only way I can escape him is by dying.
Do you think he can hypnotize after
death?"
He wanted to know whether he
would see Trilby and Little Billee in
heaven, and soon after died.
POWDER MILL BLEW UP.
Fearful Accident at South Acton Today.
South Acton. Mass.. May 3. Three
miles of the American Powder Com
pany here blew up this morning, one
after another, inside of fifteen minutes.
Five persons are believed to have been
killed.
The woods close by the mills were set
on fire and burned fiercely, threatening
the biggest storehouse Of the company,
containing 20,000 pounds of powder,
and preventing the saving of the prop
erty. -
- Fifty men were employed in the
mills. After the first explosion the
imployes in the Corning mills, about
40 in number, rushed from the building
and escaped before the flames spread
to the mill. There were 10 mills sep
arated and enclosed by a high board
fence. The explosion in the first mill
set fire to the surrounding fence and
the flames spread to the second and
third mills.
: Nicaragua Has Money Enong-h.
New York. May 3. A special to
the World from Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
says; "A telegram from Managua
reports that Nicaragua has money
enough to pay the indemnity England
requires, but not enough to meet the
extra expenses of sending the squadron
to collect the bill if that should be de
manded.
"The government of Honduras has
made an earnest appeal to the other
Central American states for a defensive
alliance, saying it is now known that
nothing can be expected from the
United States."
FAIR'S PRIVATE SECRETARY.
Story of his Conspiracy
With M'Glanflln
Co.
Denied.
San Francisco, May 3. "If Mr.
Angus has done anything at any time
with Senator Fair's money, whether
in wheat or anything else. ' says At
torney Garret McEnerney, "it is not
only susceptible of proof that he did so
with b air s full knowledge and orders.
but susceptible of absolute demonstra
tion."
Mr. Angus was the late millionaire
Fair's private secretary and Mr. Mc
Enerney is of the counsel in the Fair
will case. Mr. McEnerney declined to
oe interviewed iurtner.
This puts at rest the story that An
gus and his associate, Mr. Louis Breese,
conspired with McGlauflin & Co., to
make a great wheat deal with the dead
senator's money. It also taps on the
head the rumors that Smith, the book
keeper for the brokers' firm, who dis
appeared last Sunday, was made away
with to hide forever secrets relating to
the deal.
It is said that Smith has made state
ments to some of his relatives concern
ing the transactions between Fair and
McGlauflin & Co., and that unless his
departure is accounted for soon, they
will make public what the bookkeeper
said. All the attorneys engaged in the
litigation over the Fair estate are
anxious to know the nature of these
statements, but the Smith family de
cline to say anything until they are as
sured he is safe.
NICARAGUA.
The British Will Leave and Will Receive
Her Indemnity.
Managua, Nicaragua, May 5, The
mcaraguan government, through the
Salvadorean minister at London, hav
ing accepted the modified ultimatum
of the British government, the dispute
between the two countries is prac
tically at an end. Orders were cabled
from London to Rear-Admiral Steph
enson directing him to evacuate the
port of Corinto today.
As has been stated in these dis
patches, Nicaaagua has agreed to the
payment of the $77,500 demanded by
Great Britain for the expulsion of pro-
Consul Hatch and for other alleged
damages to British subjects arising
from the recent troubles in the Mos
quito reservation, but, instead of pay
ing the money at the cannon's mouth,
as the British government originally
demanded should be done, she will pay
it in London 15 days after the last
vessel of the British fleet withdraws
from Corinto.
There are other questions of dam
ages to British subjects to be settled,
but Nicaragua believes if these ques
tions are submitted to an impartial
commission, the judgment will be ren
dered in her favor. Well-authenticated
reports, however, are that Chief Clar
ence, the deposed ruler of the Mos
quito reservation, who is now in Kings
ton, Jamaica, is the recipient of six
pounds per day from the British gov
ernment, and these reports do not tend
to allav the popular animosity against
Great Britain, it being held she would
not take such an interest in Clarence
if she did not have ulterior designs re
garding him, and it is broadly hinted
that Ureat tfntain intended to restore
him to his chieftainship, but to do this
now she would have to despoil .Nicara
gua of the territory formerly ruled
over by him, which, a few days ago.
was incorporated as a state and named
Zelaya, in honor of the president of
Nicaragua. In well-informed circles it
is not believed that Great Britain will
ever attempt to restore Clarence under
the present status, since, should she
endeavor to do so, it is thought the
TT . 1 f". . i 1 i
u niceu otareg wouiu luuenore in wuai
would practically amount to a confis
cation of territory.
CALIFORNIA'S OSSIFIED MAN.
His Death Occurred Sunday at Monterey
A Strange Case.
Monterey, Cal., May 6. The death
in this city of William Tibbets ended
a case which is almost without a par
allel in medical history. The deceased
was a sufferer from dropsy, but the
peculiarity is that he was In a state of
partial petrification. His body was as
rigid as stone. The pricking of a
needle made no indentation in the
flesh and all power of sensation had
disappeared. Mr. Tibbets was taken
to the German hospital in San Fran
cisco, and nine physicians made close
examinations and held many consul
tations to discover the identity of the
strange ailment. No relief could be
given the sufferer, and two weeks ago
he was brought home to die. The end
came Sunday. A post-morten exami
nation was made, and it was found that
the only organs which were in a healthy
condition were the kidneys. The de
ceased was a pioneer resident of this
city and was 66 years of age.
THROWN FROM A HACK.
Mrs. Orenot Badly Bruised In an Accident
at Bosebura;.
Roseburg, Or., May 6. This after
noon Mrs. David Grenot, of the French
settlement, was injured by being'
thrown from a hack while driving a
team down Jackson street. When
near the Deer creek bridge, Mrs. Gre
not was taken suddenly ill, and her
niece, Millie Strander, attempted to
take the lines from her. She suc
ceeded in getting hold of only one line
and the Horses were turned into a
ditch, when Mrs. Grenot was thrown
over the dash board and was tangled
in the doubletrees and dragged some
distance in that manner. When
picked up she was considerably bruised
about the face and was unconscious,
but is believed not to be seriously in
jured. .
Bchrlna; Sea Patrol.
Port Townsend, Wash., May 4.
Final sailing orders came to Captain
C. L. Hooper, commander of the Beh
ring sea revenue forces, this afternoon
ordering the fleet to proceed to sea.
The cutters begin leaving Monday.
The patrol will consist of six vessels.
Commander Hooper says his instruc
tions are to enforce the same regula
tions as prevailed last year. He ap
prehends few, if any seizures, saying
that the owners of sealing vessels have
finally realized that both the Amer
ican and British governments are in
dead earnest in enforcing the rules
restraining certain kinds of sealing in
the protected zones. When the fleet
assembles at Unalaska in July exam
inations for promotions will be held.
Much Excltemant at Manarrua. .
New York, May 4. A special to the
World from Managua says: Volunteer
companies are forming throughout the
country, and military aids are going
and coming in all directions. The ac
tivity of the military indicates that a
crisis is approaching. President Ze
laya has called another meeting of the
leading citizens.
yet there is no doubt that a settle
ment has been reached with England.
The minor details are being arranged
by Foreign Minister Matus and Brit
ish Minister Gosling. England has
given some concessions, but the
amount of the indemnity is unchanged.
Marines have already begun em
barking at Corinto.

Tokio, May 4. Japan's reply to the
protest of Russia, France and Germany
against taking from China the Liao-
Tung peninsula is in substance this:
When China ratifies the treaty of
peace at Shimonoseki Japan will re
nounce possession of the province of
Mantchuria, except that part of the
Liao-Tung peninsula extending from
Port Arthur to Talien. In compens
tion for the giving back of this Chinese
territory Japan will ask a largely i
creased indemnity.
St. Petersburg, May 4. Japan's
answer to the protest of Russia, France
and Germany has been made. The
officials will not disclose the text, but
those who expected Japan to yield ex
press surprise at the answer.
yokohoma, May 4. The Kussian
warships lately stationed at the treaty
ports have left with sealed orders. It
is expected the treaty between China
and Japan will be ratified.
Washington, May 4. It is believed
here that Kussian reasoning is that,
by the occupation of Port Arthur, the
Japanese will dominate Manchuria as
effectually as if she held the nominal
title to the province. Reserving Port
Arthur as a military base and opening
a, great commercial port at Talien
Wan, the Japanese will connect the
latter by rail with New Chwang, on
the line of the projected Chinese rail
road from Peking to Moukden, and di
vert the entire trade of New Chwang,
and Moukden, at least in winter, when
all of the Manchurian ports are closed.
It would also be impossible for Russia
to locate a Western terminal port for
the Siberian railway anywhere in
Manchuria, as it would be easily closed
by the Japanese from their powerful
base;at Port Arthur, which would dom
inat, from a military point of view, not
only Manchuria and the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li,
but also Wei-Hai-Wei, only 40
miles across the straits. Nothing is
known here respecting the reported
failure of the peace ratifications, but
it is felt that the situation is critical
and that Japan's last concession will
not alleviate it.
CYCLONE IN ILLINOIS.
The Town of St. Charles Visited by a
Cyclone and Six Bersons Killed.
Aurora, 111., May 4. The town of
St. Charles was visited by a cyclone to
day, the old stone postoffice building,
standing on the east side of Main street
and occupied by Mrs. Church as a mil
linery store, was blown down and Mrs.
Church killed. Two young ladies had
apartments in the building, and one
of them is supposed to be in the ruins.
The other, Miss Augusta Anderson
was killed. The falling walls caught
and killed a passing horse, and Luke
Coster, the driver, was so badly hurt
that he died tonight. Charles Johnson
and Joseph Thompson, who took ref
uge by the side of the old postoffice
building, were crouched down to escape
the fury of the passing storm when the
wall toppled over on them. They
were killed outright. It is thought
another man is in the ruins. The post-
office, or the Osgood building, was
substantial structure, but the force of
the falling walls utterly demolished it.
Andrew Johnson and Luther McCaus-
land were struck by flying timbers
The former had his back and the latter
his arm and leg broken. It is report
ed that several other persons about
town received injuries more or liess
serious. ;
OBSTREPEROUS HALF-RREED8.
They Fortify Themselves and Defy the
Offlcers of the Law.
St. John's, N. D., May, 4. The day
has been one of much excitement, but
ended without bloodshed. Indian
Agent Hall, came up from the agency
this afternoon, and drove out to the
house where the halfbreeds were forti
fied in Kingan's house. He urged
them not to resist the officers, saying
that all who took part in the resistance
would be equally liable. Ked Thunder.
in reply, said the marshals could not
have the men wanted; that they were
not strong enough without troops.
This afternoon Michael Langden, . one
of the men for whom warrants are out,
came into town, and was arrested.
Citizens made strong objections to the
marshal holding Langden, claiming
that it would result in an immediate
attack on the town. Marshal Cronan
decided the boldest course was the
best, and will send the prisoner to
Rolla in a buggy with deputies.
immediately upon the arrest a
mounted courier, on watch in the
brush near town, left for the half-breed
camp. There was great excitement
on his arrival. The hali-breeds began
dancing and preparing their ponies,
and bands started toward town several
times, but apparently were recalled by
the leaders. An immediate attack
seemed probable, and the women and
children here were collected from out
lying houses.
Agent Hall then went to the camp
again. When he first went in they
were much excited, and claimed he
had promised them that no arrests
would be made that afternoon. Hall
told them he had promised that the
marshal would not attack them, but
that if they came to town they would
be taken. It was the duty of the
marshal to serve the warrants if he
found the men.
THE CUBAN INSURRECTION.
Rebels Hard at Work la the Camafruay
Regions.
New York. May 6. A special to
the World from Havana says agitators
of the revolution are said to be work
ing hard in the Camaguay regions.
Spain's best disciplined soldiers are
being sent to that section, as an up
rising there would be fatal to Spanish
rule. During the last war some 80,000
men revolted in that district, and a
large column once came very near
Havana.
Marcus Garcia, the mayor of Sancti
Spiritu, has sent- in his resignation
and is in Santa Clara. No little im
portance is attached to this step. A
native of Cuba, and a desperate and
brave leader in the first revolution, he
is extremely popular in the whole pro
vince of Puerto Principe, where he
has lived all his life. As mayor of
Sancti Spiritu he has been devoted to
the welfare of the people, personally
conducting all forces in pursuing the
many bandits that operated in that
neighborhood, which .he contrived to
exterminate.
The whole district of Camaguay would
blindly follow him should he once
more desire it. He has been sum-

JAPAN FOR PEACE.
She Relinquishes All Claim to the Llau
Tons; Peninsula.
Yokohama, May 6. The Japanese
government has unconditionally relin
quished an claim to the Llau long
peninsula, in accordance with the re
quest by Russia, France and Germany.
ajOndon, jviay o. a dispatch from
Paris says Japan has surpassed the
hopes of the friends of peace and even
tne conditions arranged by Russia,
France and Germany. Like every
power who knows its own mind, Japan
is prompt in her resolutions and does
not seem to desire to nroioncr the con
troversy by the adoption of half meas.
ures.
A St. Petersburg dispatch to the
Times says that Japan's reply to the
powers, renouncing definite possession
of the Liau l ong peninsula, was re
ceived with surprise. Much attention
is given the words "definite posses
sion." if they mean the temporary
occupation of the peninsula until the
indemnity shall have been paid, Jap
an's answer is not likely to end the
matter. While averting war it will be
only the beginning of a diplomatic
campaign. In a leader this morning
the Times says:
"We welcome Japan's decision with
satisfaction as removing a danger to
the peace of the far east. Had Japan
allowed herself to become implicated
in a struggle with Russia the peace of
the world would have been jeopar
dized."
FIGHTING IN NICARAGUA.

and disorder is also reported from
Leon. Word comes from there that
the -followers of Oritz, Zerula and
Macherro have united to make war on
President Zelaya. The Honduran
troops concentrated at Cape Gracias
will remain there, as it is feared that
the threatened outbreak on the Mos

It is estimated that the trouble with
England has cost Nicaragua $1,000,000.
It is claimed that Envoy Barrios
failed in his duty by not informing his
government that united states Am
bassador Bayard was not seconding
Gresham's views in favor of a settle
ment by arbitration. This view is dis
credited by the - officials, though not
officially. General Duarte has arrived
at Bluefieldb. A high official says the
reports of the opposition to President
Zelaya are greatly exaggerated.

A Brand New Thing.
In the upper country they are kill
ing squirrels now with lice. They
have tried to give them the smallpox
and other contagious diseases, but it
failed. Finally they imported a few
lousy squirrels, and. now where there
used to be twenty there is but one.
The lice seem to .eat them up alive.
Those caught in traps are lousy and as
lean as a match and are more dead
than alive. It seems to be a sure cure,
and the time will come when they will
sell squirrel lice over the counter in
drug stores as they now sell bird seed.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S OPINION.
He Renders a Decision Regarding Certain
Matters in Which the People of the
State are Interested.
The attorney-general has rendered a
decision in relation to the legality of
the secretary drawing warrants on the
treasurer for moneys appropriated for
the support of the different state insti
tutions when the act specifies that the
warrants shall be drawn in bulk for
certain amounts payable to the treas
urer or agents of such institutions,
and allows such treasurer or agent to
disburse the Bame. The following is
the opinion of this official:
"In some of the acts passed bv the
legislature relating to these different
institutions, you are directed, at cer
tain intervals, named therein, to draw
your warrant upon the treasurer for
certain amounts to be transmitted to
the agents of these different institu
tions. Whether you would be pro
tected and authorized in following the
agents of these different institutions
to audit and disburse the funds set
apart for their use, is a question. If
the statute specificially directs that
you shall, at stated intervals, turn
over the warrants to the agent or
treasurer, for which the appropriation
was made, and you do so. I believe
that your responsibility to the state
would cease; provided all the claims
had been previously presented to you,
examined, audited and filed. It is a
question upon which there might be a
difference of opinion, and which I do
not deem necessary at this time to go
into. While you might be protected
in drawing these' warrants, provided
these claims had been previously pass
ed upon and audited by you, yet I do
not believe that to be the spirit nor
the intention of the section of the con
stitution above referred to, nor the .
legislation immediately following the
adoption of the same, which provides
indefinite and specific terms what your .
duty shall be as auditor of the state
accounts."
CAPTURED.
Thomas Goldworthy, the Man Who
Shot
John Preston, Arrested.
La Grands Chronicle.
Sheriff Kilburn. of Baker countv.
has affected the capture, of Thomas
Goldworthy, the man who shot John
Preston at the Virtue mine. The sher
iff and a couple of deputies overtook
the fugitive at the Horseshoe Bend,
about eighteen miles east of Baker
City. Goldworthy was brought trf
Baker City and his examination will
be continued from day to day awaiting
the results of his victim's wounds.
A report as to the condition of the
wounded man states that three of the
five shots fired took effect in Preston's
body. One of the balls made a flesh
wound on the left arm and lodged in -the
left breast at which point It was
extracted. Another ball fractured the
left elbow and made a very painful
wound. The other shot entered thd
left side and ranged downward. Dr.
Dodson probed for the ball, but was
unable to locate the missile and could
not ascertain the extent of the inju
ries. The doctor made another visit
to the mine, and upon his return re
ported that the wounded man had re
covered from the shock and was doing
as well as could be expected.
Raise Hogs.
The Roseburg Ploindecler says: "The
swine industry Is destined to play an '
important part in the future of the
farming community by reason of the
fact that there is money in it. As one
farmer put it, when he jingled $20
pieces in his pocket, 'that is the way
to market wheat; drive it in on hoots.'
And while some conservative ones
fear that if a large number go into
this branch of business the pork mar
ket is likely to be overstocked, still we
believe it will be practically impossi
ble to affect the market by all the
stock the farmers of Oregon can offer
lor years. The fact remains that
'there is money in hogs.' Tis more
profitable to drive hogs to mar
ket than it is to haul wheat over bad
roads."

The Klickitat Bepublidan says: "A

Richardson started from this place
last Monday morning to make a pre

ably surprised to find what they con
sider a leasable route without follow
ing the angle of Swale Canyon that
