MRS. MENDENHALL DEAD.
A Pioneer in Charitable Work
Paasefi Away.
Mrs. Abby G. Mendenhall, wife of R.
J. Mendenhall, the well known Minne
apolis florist, and one of Ihe foremost
women in the city, died at 7:40 o'clock
last night at her home, im.mi Stevens ave
nue. Death resulted from a sudden and
severe attack of pneumonia, contracted
while in pursuit of her favorite work
among the missions of the city, in all of
which Mrs. Mendenhall lias always taken
an active interest.
Friday last Mrs. Mendenhall was rt t
Bethany home, cheering its inmates, as
was her custom. For some few days
previous to that time she had not been
well, but did not seem to consider it
more than a slight indisposition.
The end was precipitated by a sudden
failure of the heart, which grew weaker
d;iy by day during the short illnrs-. The
patient suffered no pain whatsoever"; and
finally passed away without a struggle.
She was conscious to the very last, re
membering all of her many friends, and
mentioning them by name as long as
strength remained to do so. Arrangements
for the funeral have not as yet been com
pleted.
Mrs. Abby G. Mendenhall was bo:n In
Wesi Falmouth, Aug. 1, I*3J. She was one
of the two daughters of Capt. Si as Swift,
a merchant sailor. On her mother's sid?,
as well as on her father's, she was de
sc< nded from a long line of Quaker sail
ors. Her ancestors have for many gen
erations been prominent in the charitable
associations in connecton with the bociety
of Friends.
On Feb. 11. 1858, she was married to R.
G. Mendenhall. ;i native of North Caro
lina, and In April of that year the young
couple came to Minneapolis.
Mrs. Mendenhall is one of the oldest
residents of Minneapolis, and was a pio
neer in the charitable institutions oi the
city.
GUARDS OVER BOOKS.
Register Uleloalf Determines to
Protect the Records.
Register of Deeds Metcalf is bound to
h ( that matters are conducted in a
businesslike manner in his office in the
future, and with this object in view he
yesterday placed two deputies in the big
vault where the books are kept. In the
future attorneys or others who desire to
look up the records will be compelled to
ash one of the clerks for the desired
book, when II will be produced and in
spected on a large table over which a
deputy will stand as guardian.
Mr. Darling, the representative of tho
Merrill Abstract company, desires it un
derstood that he had no ulterior motive
in calling attention of Judge Pond to the
missing loaf, and that as a matter of
fact he ran across the mutilated page
while looking- up some records for the
judge.
Mr. Metcalf yesterday received an In
tc resting communication from a St. Paul
ntind reader with reference to the page
that was cut from the records, and while
iln lady in question evidently has an eye
on the $.',OO reward offered by Mr. Mot
calf for the discovery of the thief, she
will have another guess coming-.
In her clairvoyant state, into which
she says she lapsed in an amateurish
w,'i\— ;is she desires it understood that
she is not a professional—she se>'s a
tn< dium-slzed man with a light mustache
open a four-bladed knife, with a brown
handle. She then bees a white hand open
a book with rod covers which is lying
on a desk hisjh enough to require a stooi.
Tlic mystic personage then quickly opens
the book and cuts out a leaf, leaving a
j cig-zag stub. He then looks around to
bci 11 he has been discovered and sud
denly vanishes into thin air.
While it is not stated, the mind reader
evidently ciuit "smoking" at this junc
ture, and woke up. At any rate she will
have the' guess coming, as there is no
zig-zag stub, no high r-hnir, no red-cov
ered book, and in fact she was "off" in
many other particulars.

Sensational Statement as to His
Mental Condition.
LONDON. Jan. 11.—Lieut. Gen. Lord
Methuen, commanding the column ad
vancing to the relief of Kimberley, is
to be relieved of his command within two
■weeks. .
Later he will be sent to Cape Town and
eventually ordered home. When he
reaches England he will be retired.
This news is not published In London,
although it is known to the editors of
the leading papers. The facts have been
confirmed by an official of the war office.
Lord Methuens case is a sad one. Al
ways a man of rather frail physique—
although a clever boxer and an all-
I around sportsman—his constitution be
| gan to show signs of breaking down al
most Immediately after he took command*
of his division.
Three days after the battle of Bel
mont Gen. Wolseley suggested to the
i officials of the war office that Methuen
jbe relieved. His advice was not heeded.
l The wisdom of the aged but keen com
mander-in-chief of the British army is
now realized to the fullest extent by the
war officials who scoffed at his sugges
tion.
Friends of Lord Methuen insist he is
only in broken health; that the strain of
many campaigns has shattered his nat
urally nervous system.
Those who know the circumstances and
the situation on Modder river equally
well, and who are willing to state facts
plainly, say that Methuen's mind is un
balanced.

THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SAID
TO HAVE BEEN USED IN MON
TANA LEGISLATURE
GIVEN TO SENATE COMMITTEE
More Progress Made in the Montana
Senatorial Investigation Than on
An P<ty Since It Was Inangn
rated—Several Witnesses Testify
as to Their Allegred Participation
in the Deal Charged to Clark.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—More prog
ress was made in the senatorial election
investigation case of Senator Clark, of
Montana, than on any previous day of
the sittings of the senate committee on
privileges and elections in this case. Mr.
Whiteside concluded his testimony, and
three other witnesses, State Treasurer
Collins, State Senator W. A. Clark, of
Madison, a namesake, but not a relative
of the senator, and Fj W. Cowan, a rail
road conductor residing at Mlssoula, the
home of Speaker Stiff, of the. Montana
house of representatives, were heard.
Mr. Collins' statement related entirely
to the depositing of the $30,000, in $10,000
bills, turned over to the legislative in
vestigating committee by Mr. Whiteside,
and by that committee deposited with
the treasurer. Mr. Collins exhibited this
money, and the exhibition attracted a
large attendance of outsiders in the com
mittee room.
Senator Clark's namesake detailed the
particulars of his acceptance of $10,000
from Mr. Wellcome, said to be one of
Mr. Clark's managers, cm the under
standing that he was to vote for Mr.
Clark for the senate. The witness said
that he had only accepted the money for
.the purpose of exposing the proceeding.
The witness said that when Mr. Camp
bell approached him lirst he had under
stood that the use of money was to be
exposed, whether by Senator Clark or any
one else. It was generally understood,
however, that Clark was using money,
and that no otheis were doing so In thaa
connection. He had known that Mr.
Campbell was a supporter of the Daly
faction. The plan for him to take the
money from Wellcome and mark and
identify it and then turn It over to
Whiteside had been agreed upon between
himself and Whiteside. He had not had
any intention of holding the money him
self.
Replying to a question he said he was
only a witness in this case.
"Witness and detective, you mean,"
suggested Mr. Foster, to which the reply
was: ■
"Yes, if you call it detective work to go
into a combination to expose bribery."
He stated that when the $50,000 in
money was taken out of his pocket by
Mr. Wellcome, the latter laid it down on
a steam radiator in the corner of the
room.
PASSED THE PICTURE.
"I was not interested in the picture on
the wail to which Mr. Wellcome directed
my attention," he said. "I was looking
after the money." Speaking ot the fact
that he had not kept some of his prom
ises to Mr. Wellcome the witness said
that he did not consider it wrong to de
ceive "that kind of a man."
"Whether a misrepresentation is rep
rehensible," he said, in the same con
nection, "depends upon to whom you are
making it, and the purpose for which it
■s made."
On redirect examination Mr. Clark stat
ed that the $5,250 given him ias t June by
fcir. Daly had been given for the pur
chase of a half Interest in the Madisoni
an, a paper published in his (Mr. Clark's)
town.
Fred AY. Cowan, a railroad conductor,
of Missoula, Mont., testified to going to
Helena during the sitting of the legis
lature at the instance of "Mr. W. 11. Bick.
ford, who asked him to secure for Mr.
Clark the suppoit of Speaker Stiff, of the
Montana house of representatives. The
witness testified that Mr. Blckford had
sa'.d that up to that time, the 14th of
January last, they had becM unable to
secure Stiff's supprrt for Mr. C'ark, and
that they were willing to pay $15,003 for
that support. The witness had sugge ted
that, as Mr. Stiff was committed to Con
rad, the offer of $15,000 should be made
to him simply to stay away when the
vote was reached, not casting any vote
for a candidate for the senate. Mr. Biok
ford had asked for some time to see Mr.
Clark, and when they had next met had
told him that $15,000 would be paid if
Mr. Stiff would refrain from voting, and
that $1,000 would be given him for his
services. Later Mr. Blckford had said
that Mr. Clark had bxome npprehens've
that Mr. Stiff would not stand by the
bargain, and had call?ci the deal off. Mr.
Cowan sa'.d later that he had never men
tioned the proposition to Mr. Stiff. He
was to have talked with Mr. Stiff on the
train, going to Missoula. but the propo
sition v:;.s withdrawn bef .re the opportu
nity was presented.
On cross-examination Mr. Cowan said
no promises had ever b:en made to him
for making his revelations in this ca-e.
DEWEY'S REPORT.
Admiral "Was Confident of Ability to
Take Manila.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. — Responding
to the senate's resolution of inquiry the
secretary of the navy today sent to the
senate a copy of Admiral Dewey's re
port from Hong Kong, dated March 31,
IS9S, relative to the capture of Manila.
The text of the report shows that it
was made in response to a telegram of
inquiry from the secretary, and the ad
miral gives in detail the names of the
available vessels under his command,
and aVso the list of Spanish vessels and
other means of defense at Manila. He
stated that his own squadron was in a
high state of efficiency. Speaking of the
Spanish forces he said they numbered
"about 15,000 soldiers of all arms in all
the islands, of which half are in the vi
cinity of Manila. The islands are now
in a state of insurrection, and my In
formants state that even the Spanish
soldiers, who constitute only a small
part of the whole, are disaffected. Both
chips and forts are in need of ammuni
tion."
To this statement he added the follow
ing:
"I believe I am not overconfident in
stating that with the squadron now un
der my command the vessels could be
taken and the defer res at Madtta re
duced in one day. * k r There is every
reason to believe that with Manila taken.
or even blockaded, the rest of the isl
ands would fall either to the insurgents
or to ourselves, as they are only held
now by the support of the navy and ore
dependent upon Manila for supplies. In
formation has just reached me that there
are 5,000 armed rebels in camp near Ma
nila who are willing to assist us."
MR. ROBERTS DOOMED.
Committee Agreed Save a« to Man-
ner of Excluding Him.
WASHINGTON, Jar.. 11.—The Roberts

session today in the hope of reaching a
conclusion, but so many legal questions
were discussed that a conclusion was not
reached nor any vote by the committee.

sible, two reports. °The members are
practically agreed on the facts Involved.
The difference relates to. the manner of
excluding Mr. Roberts.

THREATENED STRIKE.
Rod Mill Men May Walk: Out Sext
Week.
CLEVELAND, 0., Jan. 11.—Next Mon
day is the time set for the decision of
the American Steel and Wire company,
the wire trust, en the sca"e of wages pro
posed by the National Association of Rol
Mill Workers. There is little doubt that
the company will refuse to sign.a scale
of any kind, especially as it recently an
nounced a general increase of 7% per
cent in the pay of all employes. The rod
mill men are apparently determined to
force the signing of the scale, if possible,
according to the reports received from
the different mills of the company by
their vice president, Thomas L. Lewis,
of this city. Mr. Lewis and other na
tional officers of the association are op
posed to a strike, but fear that there
will soon be one. The company has rod
mills in several citie9.

Trial.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—District Attor
ney Andrews, of "Westchester county, an
nounced today that Alfred Morrison will

a somnabulistic condition, shot and killed
the woman known as his wife. The

Morrison home in Mount Vernon. Since
the death of Mrs. Morrison another
wcman has appeared, claiming to have
married Morrison about eighteen years
ago Mrs. Ihlenberg, of Middletown, the
dead woman's sister, who was clamorous
for the prosecution of Morrison for mur
der, now declares that the spirit of the
dead appeared to her in her sleep and
pleaded with her not to push the com
plaint against Morrison.
SCENES IPi SENATE
Continued From Firat Page.
to reply. Republicans, he thought, were
prepared to vote upon it.
Mr. Teller regarded it as remarkable
that a measure of so much importance
should go to a vote without discussion
from all sides.
At the request of Mr. Aldrlch the finan
cial measure was postponed until 2
o'clock Monday next.
The senate then agreed that when it
adjourn today it be until Monday.
DETAILS OF CENSUS.
Consideration of the census measure,
conferring additional authority upon the
director of the census, was then begun.
Mr. Hoar withdrawing an amendment he
had offered.
Mr. Pettigrew offered an amendment di
recting the director of the census to col
lect statistics in regard to the distribu
tion of wealth, in regard to the extent to
which machinery had displaced manual
labor and in regard to private and corpo
ration indebtedness.
The amendment was defeated.
Mr. Allen (Neb.) proposed an amend
ment providing for the collection of sta
tistics relating to trusts, and that, too,
was defeated by a viva voce vote.
Mr. Allen demanded the yeas and nays
and wanted to know of Mr. Carter if he
proposed to deny this information to the
people.
Mr. Carter replied that the amendment
was simply a proposition that a $3 a day
enumerator or a $600 clerk should deter
mine what institutions in an official docu
ment are criminal. He held that these in
stitutions were entitled to their day in
court. "If these institutions are trusts,"
he said, "If they are in violation of law,
they are entitled to be heard before the
laws of the country shall be applied to
them."
Mr.' Allen declared that the effort to
prevent the gathering of information re
garding trusts was a scheme to side track
him. "There is hidden purpose," he said,
"in congress respecting this matter."
A sharp and amusing collociuy took place
between Mr. Allen and Mr. Tillman (S.
C ) The latter criticised the amendment,
and Mr. Allen charged that Mr. Tillman
had gone over to the side of the trusts.
In emphatically denying this, Mr. Tillman
likened Mr. Allen to a dog in a Southern
opossum hunt, who followed the trail to
a tree and then "reared up on it." The
tree was cut down, and no 'possum waa
found. The hunters went home in dis
gust, declaring that the. dogs "had been
chasing a 'hant' (specter). That," said
Mr. Tillman, "is what my friend from Ne
braska is doing." (Laughter.')
Mr. Allen replied with some heat, ae
claring that Mr. Tillman would find dif
ficulty in explaining his position to the
people of his state. He said there was a
disposition among senators to say: "The
public be damned," and he had no idea
there was any intention to gather infor
mation regarding trusts.
The bill was passed without further ob
jection.
Anti-Trust r,ea«ue Meeting.

tho«e in sympathy with the movement

husbands, or who have secured divorces
for cruel and inhuman treatment, or the
like, is exempt under the present bnnk
ruptcy law, if they are heads of fam
ilies; and that temporary departure from

turning and occupying It later does not
nullify the rights to the homestead prop
erty.

Trouble In an Important Part ol the Organiza
tion Affects Ail the Rest—A Perfectly
Harmonious System Has rl>
Thrown Out of Gear.
Organized labor has reached ?uch a
stage that anything affecting a particu
lar branch of it draws al! the rest into
the difficulty.
It is exactly the same way with the
different organs of the human body.
AVork too hard, eat too much, drink too
much, exercise but Kttle, be a little ir
regular in any way, and the liver <iuits
work.
Then the bowels become constipated
and the stomach gof-s on strike. The
heart is affected, the brain follow? suit.
and every part in the body is dragged
Into the trouble.
The only way out of it is to go at the
source of all this—the liver. Square your
self with the liver and all will get back
to regular natural work.
Cascarets Candy Cathartic make things
right with the liver. They perfume the
breath, prevent food from souring on
