agree upon and the state auditor admits of; Senator Gainard's bill, providing for the payment of bank examiners by salary instead of fees; Senator K. E. Moore's bill, repealing the law creating the old savings banks. The measure is the same as that introduced in the house by Mr. Elliott. In the house the bill by Mr. Klech-

ner, of Cass county, to make unlawful railroad relief associations which require the signing by employes of waivers of their rights to damages, was discussed by representatives who are accustomed to speak for laboring men's interests, including Messrs Klechner, Freuchtenicht, Joyce, King and Hay. All declared that this practice in vogue on the Pennsylvania and Wabash systems, works hardships on employes. All are required to join the association, and they supply the funds, they said, but under rules drawn up by the company attorneys they find themselves deprived of damages, oftentimes by this unfair waiver. There was no opposition to the bill and the house murmured its approval before the last Bpeaker finished. The vote was 88 to 0.

Mr. Woodfill's bill, to authorize the construction of soldiers monuments at county seats by county commissioners on two-thirds vote of the county, was amended on third reading to allow the voters to say in what city of the count'- monument should be erected. .V ois, of Benton and Warren counties, offered the amendment. The bill then went to- engrossment again. The bill by Mr. Barkley to require township assessors to take the school enumeration failed to pass, the vote being 46 to 40.

His finances at a low ebb, despon

dent over domestic troubles and his inability to secure employment William C. Mendenhall became possessed with a suicidal mania, and ended his life by swallowing a dose of carbolic acid. MendL-n ail was found lying cold in death : the bed in his room above the saiu cf B. A. Kennepohl of North D street yesterday morning. Mendenhall had not been seen by any of the persons about the saloon since Thursday noon when he secured some hot water in the restaurant

kitchen and carried it to his room. After making every effort to arouse the man by repeated rapping on his door the porter at Kennepohl's place reaiized that there was something

wrong notified the proprietor, and he

forced an entrance to the room. Up

on the cot was the prostrate form of Mendenhall, and as soon as it was

ascertained that he was dead Coroner Bramkamp was summoned. It was

evident that Mendenhall's life had

gone out several hours before his dis

covery. The body was removed to the establishment of Wilson and Pohlmey-

er. About a year ago Mendenhall at

tempted suicide, shooting himself in

the brr but the wound was not of a seriou; ature and he soon recovered. He was about fifty years of age, and has three children, all girls, Oda, Alice and Minnie Mendenhall. The dead man's wife left him some time ago, and he has been rather gloomy and depressed ever since. Tney lived ' for a long time on North 11th street, but since their separation Mendenhall has had no fixed home, rooming at different places.

THE CITY IN BRIEF

The ordinance requiring householders to remove the snow from the sidewalks in front of their domiciles seems to be a dead letter.

should remain with her to comfort her during the trying ordeal. The countess has "hot appeared in court since the opening day. Mrs. William Thaw was absent yesterday on the ground of "illness," but she was in

court today with her daughter and Mrs. George Carnegie. She paid no attention whatsoever to her daughter-in-law, and during the entire day's proceedings did not exchange a word. When it came time for them to go home, Evelyn Thaw and the McKenzie woman went away In one cab, while Mrs. Thaw, Mrs. Carnegie and William Thaw left in another. A Tearful Leave Taking. There was a tearful leave-taking between the mother and son after court had adjourned for the day, and the gray haired old woman told her boy to bear up during the coming 48 hours. She expressed herself as confident that the result of the trial would be favorable for the boy. Evelyn Thaw kissed her husband eoodbve

. REAR ADMIRAL SIGSBEE, WHO HAS RETIRED. With the retirement Jan. 16 of Rear Admiral Charles Dwight Sigsbee, whe

has reached his sixty-second, birthday, the navy loses one of its most valuable

officers. Admiral Slgsbee is best known to the public as commander of the battleship Maine when that vessel was blown . up and wrecked in Havana harbor. He has served nearly forty-eight years in the navy, being appointed to Annapolis from Albany, N. Y., at the age of fourteen. He participated in many civil war engagements, including the fierce assault on Fort Fisher. Later, with the coast survey, he sounded and explored the gulf of Mexico.

HOMER DAVENPORT, THE NOTED CARTOONIST, TELLS OE THAW'S FACIAL PECULIARITIES

Homer Davenport the noted cartoonist, appends the following to a drawing, of Harry K. Thaw, in the New York Evening Mail: I have never seen a person just like Harry Thaw. I have seen several people charged with a similar crime, but none like Thaw. There is a blankness in his face, coupled with a bad-shaped head, which forms a dangerous combination. Theodore Durant, a degenerate of San Francisco, killed girls and hid them in a church steeple, where the bell as it tolled almost scraped their nude bodies. Looking at Durant, with his hair as long as a foot ball player's, aside from a small, pinched ear and peculiar brow, you saw no traces of the monster he was shown to be. But when his hair was cut, an operation which he fought to prevent, ail was revealed. Holmes, the Philadelphia murderer, who killed men, women and children for insurance policies, showed his criminal instincts in his weak face and childlike back head. His murders were accomplished by locking people in rooms and starving them to death. Harry Thaw is different from eith

er of these men. His attorneys may

be able to show that his motive for

killing White was perfectly justifiable. I would, however, just like to see the shape of his back head under his loose hair. Harry Thaw is tall and slepider stooped. His head, even with long hair, is curiously shaped. It is very high at the peak of the crown, where there is a "cowlick" that makes it hard to brush it down. His head drops rapidly to the top of the forehead, where the hair is plastered to his short, blunt brow. The forehead shows lack of use other than to plaster hair against. It's the forehead and face of an idler. Thaw's eyes, naturally big, have a wild, excited look. The most expression comes from the whites on the outer side, and to offset that glare there is a blank hollowness between the eye and the nose on the inside.

His nose is a meaningless affair, straight and square cornered, with the under edge beveled. The lips suggest -the cigarette smoker, and his

chin looks weak enough to cry easi

It is the cheek bones that are Harry

Thaw's most striking features and add a wild, weak expression to his face. They are so high and sharp that they suggest those of an Indian.

Peculiar in this respect they aro un like those of his brother or sisters.

The layer of ice which covers many of the sidewalks makes good skating for the small boy.

Even though an experiment, the new lighting system at the Pennsylvania is proving a success even beyond the dreams of the most sanguine.

Carlo uk .Method ( Mining. The increasing depth to which it is necessary to go In following the vein of kaolin, or potter's clay, mined near the IIousatonic river in Connecticut recently caused the introduction of a novel method of mining. Weils from HO to nearly 2Qft foet in depth are driven, and tv- pipes, the outer four inches and th.- laer two Inches in diameter, are Introduced. Water at a pressure of forty pounds per square inch is forced down through the smaller pipe and rises through the larger one, bringing with it about 5 per cent of solid matter, of which 75 per cent is pure kaolin.

Pecans In Rio Urande Delta. Pecan groves are to become a feature of the development of the Rio Grande river country in Texas. Several large orchards have already been planted, and this season several thousand more acres will be put out. The delta of the Rio Grande is said to be the Ideal section for the production of pecans. The trees can be made to bear in three years after planting, but the general period there is six or seven years. On the Mexican side of the " river pecans have been grown for many years in the little nections that were Irrigated. This first attracted attention on the American fide. The demand for pecans is always in excess of the supply, and pecan orcharding is certain to be profitable in the south. St. Louis Republic.
