Conscience-Stricken Chicagoan Swells the City Funds; Lucky Wart Saves a Man From Jail; Strange Case of Lock-Jaw; Dog Grieves Himself to Death. HERE IS A MAN WHO PAYS TAXES OVERLOOKED BY THE ASSESSOR. CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—A conscience-stricken citizen sent Mayor Harrison a letter yester- day containing $M, which he said he owed the city for taxXes as the result of the methods of a former town assessor. The citizen evidently lives on the North Side, es the letter was mailed at a North Side station, and four brand new $100 bills were p:nned to one corner of it. To conceal his identity the writer printed the words with a pen instead of writing them, and omitted his name and address. The address on the envelone read: MAYOR HARRISON, PERSONAL. CHICAGO, WART UNDER HIS EAR AC- QUITTED HIM OF THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY. NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Although few folk pine for warts, there is one man in the city who rejoices with great joy over an ornament of this kind, which hides partly under his left ear. He was heard to declare yesterday that he would rather lose house and business than the wart. Jacob Katz, the wart adorer, is a gro- cery man at Brook avenue and 149th street. The wart saved him from being declared a bigamist by Feige Katz, who said before she saw the wart that he was her long-lost husband. Mendel Katz. In the circum- stances it is only natural that Katz should bless the day the wart appeared and that MILWAUKEE WILL TRY TO STOP LOVE-MAKING IN THE PARKS. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 13.—The Board of Park Commissioners has declared war against love-making in the public parks. At its meeting last night the board decided to put a night force of policemen in the parks. A requisition for five additional men was made this morning and submitted to the Civil Service Commission. The names heading the eligible list will be certified to the board next Friday, when the appointments will be made. “No, I would not say that there its too much loving in the parks,” said Christian Wahl, president of the park board, with a smile. “But it is natura] for boys and girls to get together in:a lonesome spot No. 4—(You can afford to buy No. _ 3d Soda Water Tr Bo sie » rf ' > At Alexander’s Drug Store To-Morrow.

FOND DU LAC, Wis., Aug. 13.— A woman about 35 years of age was taken off the Northwestern train Thursday, who had the appearance of being demented. She boarded the train at Oshkosh and when the cOfWiductor asked her for a ticket he received no answer. When this city was reached she was assisted off and the po- lice notified. All efforts to get her to talk were useless. Fearing she was sick the patrol wagon was summoned and she was taken to the office of Dr. Mayham. It was found upon examination that her jaws were firmly set and all efforts of the doc- tors to force them apart were useless. She could understand what was said, but made no answer.

MAMMA Julius Bender’s Little Son Dying With Grief. § WINS A RACE WITH DEATH. : WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 13.—Mr. Richen- berger, a wealthy German farmer of An- dale, a small town near here, has broken the record for liberality. He tendered the Kansas Midland Railroad $1800 for a special train to carry him to Huron, Kan., this morning at 4 o'clock to ‘be at the bedside of his dying father. Last night a message came saying that this father was dying, and an offer of $50 was made to deliver the message. Four operators drove 20 miles to deliver it, and brought the sorrowing farmer to Wichita. When they got there there was no train due for several hours.

He came to Chicago this morning on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad to buy farm implements. At Western avenue Rogers boarded the train. His suave manners and persuasive talk soon gained the old farmer's confi- dence. Rogers finally produced the bond. He did not have time to go into town and secure money from a bank, he said, and asked Mr. Crowl if he would advance a small amount, say $25. The farmer had only $18.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Mrs. Minnie Bayer’s open prayer book gave silent testimony as Julius A. Bender, an honest but unhappy farmer from Kimmswick, Mo., passed his twenty-eighth birthday in St. Louis search- ing for his wife, who, he says, deserted him and their 4-year-old son on the 6th of June. . He called at police headquarters at 9:30 o’clock last night and asked the aid of the police in locating her. He told Night Chief Pickle that his little fon, named after himself, was at his home in Kimmswick at death’s door and was crying constantly for his mamma. Bender says he and his wife were etep- brother and ~sister. His mother married her father 10 years ago. There were broth- ers and sisters on each side. P Eight years ago he married his wife, whose maiden name was Ida Miller. Ghe is now 29 years old, and one year his senior. They have a small farm and are fairly prosperous. Their domestic relations had always been pleasant until last June, when the wife left Some. - “All of our troubles are the result o her listening to her sisters,”” he told Chief Pickel. ‘‘They, for some reason, never like me and they must have poisoned her mind against me.
