Suicide at Eau Claire.

Samuel Ellison Of Eau Claire, Wis,
committed suicide Sunday night by shoot
ing himself with revolver. Mr.. Ellison
was well known throughout that section,
being at one time a keen, active business
man, accumulating quite property, but
having acquired strong appetite for liq-
uor, he gradually yielded to its effects,
and at times was very dissolute. This
led to divorce, his wife procuring one
last fall, which he resisted. For the last
four or five years Mr.. Ellison has been
engaged in blocking up timber" He re-
turned from the woods couple of weeks
ago, and at once commenced drinking.

How the Russian Mennonites i'm Da'

from the Mankato Review.l

From the MankatO heVleW.J
An esteemed friend at Yankton, Dako-
ia, sends us the following description of
the manner in which some Russian emf
grants in that Territory recently pun
ished fellow countryman for theft.
While we would not be understood as en-
dorsing this brutality, we imagine that it
is only necessary to resort to it once to
convince an offender that ''honesty is the
best policy" He writes:
t'The other day a Russian found in an
improper way pocket.book, appropria-
ted the contents to himself and then
threw the book away. In so doing he
was seen by his co"ntrymen, and they de-
termined to administer the Russian mode
Of punishment for such offences. They
went to willow thicket near the river,
cut twelve long switches, and plated
them together,whic forms what is known
in Russia as knout. The offender was
stripped, tied, and then they gave him
"a lashes With this terrible instrument.
Each stroke drew the blood, and towards
the end of the punishment they hardly
knew where to stlke, so badly was his
back lacerated. He tainted before the
terrible punishment was completed, and
when he was dismissed with the warning
never to repeat the offense, he could
hardly walk home"

Grassheppers In ,Nicollet County.
From the st. Peter Tribune]

An omen of good news is the fact that
the grasshoppers arc already Matching out
in this vicinity. Phillip Stelzer. Jr.,
gathered up on the duff near town a
number of young grasshoppers ranging in
Size from the smallest up to half an inch
in length. Others have found young
specimens in this vicinity. This seems to
be- a sure indication that the whole brood
will hatch out soon, should VIC have few
warm days, and if they do the chapces
are that none will live to do the crops in
iurv. The warm weather last fall evil
IDENTIFY forwarded the process of incuba'
ton. and in fact some Matched then, so
that there is every reason to hope for
their being killed by frost OF disap.
pearing before the crops are. up.
Some # our farmers believe, and we
think correctly, that even if grasshoppers
should be plenty, our county is so extern
siyely under cultivation that they can
feed the insects without suffering any
material diminution from their ravages,
unless reinforcements come in from
abroad.
There are number Of farmers still re-
siding here who were here when the grass
hoppers visited this section and deposited
their eggs in 1857, and they all agree
that, although the pests Matched out the
following spring, they disappeared with
out doing any damage. Why not this
spring!

Fire ut New Richmond.

: The steam elevator of Fl. A. Clapp,
at New Richmond, Wis, took fire
about half past o'clock Monday night,
and was entirely consumed. The fire
caught on the inside of the building, but
how is a mystery. There was but a
small amout of wheat in the building at
the time. Several cars that stood on the
track in front of the building were moved
away with only one in slightly dam
aged condition. Loss on the building
and machinery $500; insured $4,000.

Floods i'm Southern Minnesota.
from the La Crosse Leader.1


The warm weather of the last few days
has melted the snow with such rapidity
that Southern Minnesota is pretty
nearly afoat. The Southern Minnesota
Railroad company is a considerable suf-
ferer by the floods along their line, being
obliged yesterday to suspend the trains
leaving Grand Crossing. The main break
is between Houston and Mound Prairie,
where there are already six S'wash-outs'
reported, and three or four hundred feet
of telegraph wire washed away. The
breaks are widening, but, as the water is
falling, gang of men can probably be
put to work in day Or so to repair the
damage. 1t is also reported that several
hundred feet of trcstle work between
Grand Crossing and Hokah have been
washed away, but this part of the damage
may be over-estimated. No trains. how
ever, pass Houston, and travel by the
Southern Minnesota, for through passen-
gers, is suspended for the present.
THE c. D. AND M.
was also off time. No trains out from
the Junction last night, but they left on
time to-day.
the people were panic-stricken yesterday.
Root river was on the rampage, raising
five feet in single hour, frightening the
inhabitants of the village from their
homes. A number Of families removed
their household goods to places of safety,
while others barely had time to escape,
leaving their effects to sink or swim &C.
cording as the snortive notions of the
Aquatic powers might dictate. We
could not obtain an intelligent estimate of
the damage done to property, but it will
probably amount to large figure, as the
Hood burst upon the nnsuspecting people
with such fury that they lost their pres
encc of mind and fed to high ground for
persona safety. No lives were 1ost.
AT RAMSEY
the rain poured down in perfect torrents,
the storm extending over wide belt of
country. and this, with the heavy body
of snow on the. ground, has swelled the
streams, overfowed the fats and gener-
ally rendered that section of country i'm
passable for anything but floating con-
veyances.

"A telegram from Todd county. KY,
of the 9th, says warrants were yesterday
issued for the arrest of ten more Ku-Klux
in addition to those already in Jail. The
sheriff went out with large posse, but
found that nine of those indicted had left
their homes and the country. He brought
in one of the number, who is in Jail. It
is evident that the county authorities are
fully determined to prosecute to the full
extent of the law those engaged in the
recent outrages.

speech promised measures for the crea.
ton of county municipalities and aiding
IN the erection of county court houses
and registry Offices; also for an amend
ment of the school laws. Ameasure is to
be submitted, on grounds of ECONOMY, to
dispense with the maintenance Of the Leg
lslative Council. A measure is to be
brought in for the appointment of crown
prosecutors. Election laws are to be con-
solidated and provision made for voting
by ballot. The income of the Province
being wholly inadequate, negotiations
with the Privy Council are in pro-
gress to place Manitoba on a better
footing. As result the Privy Council
have adopted minute of the council. pro-
viding far an increase of the annual sub
sidy until 1881 to the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars. This would afford tenn
porary relief. The House is to be asked
to concur in an address asking revision
of the financial relations and enlargement
of its boundary. The legislature will be
asked to unite in an address making
known their views with regard to the rail-
way routes to be chosen for the Canadian
Pacific and Pembina branch, asking fair
and liberal consideration of the rights of
the people of Manitoba with regard to
location of both lines. The floating debt
of the Province has been extinguishcd bv
an addition to the loan from the Domin.

to be dealt with.

United States, he thought, was probably

to New York. His empty pocket book
was found on the floor Of the car.
Gen. William G. Monk, who has held
many important positions in government
service, including Consul General to
Mexico, was arrested by secret service
officers last evening on charge
of selling counterfeit money, and COM

capture, had, it is charged, 5000 in good
greenbacks which had been marked for
Identification and given to him in ex-
change for counterfeit currency. Gen.
Monk fought in the rebellion, command

hrSt time he was ever there, when took
him all through the house to satisfy him
that the stories in circulation that kept
a gorgeous, improper house were false.
But he frequently went up the stairs with
me to the roof of the honse to enjoy the
starlight and cool breeze of pleasant sum
mer evenings.
Furthermore, wish to say that Mr..
Illton never conversed with me about the
scandal in the presence of any third par.
ties, nor did any third parties ever con.
verse with me in the presence of Mr.. Til
ton-by third parties meaning persons
outside of Miss Claflin, Col. Blood. and
myself. The testimony that has been
gwen to that effect by two gentlemen is
erroneous, they probably having con-
founded conversations had with me
with conversations when Mr.. Tilton
was present. Still cannot i'm.
agagine how such an error could
have been made by them unwittingly;
L suppose it must have been so made, the
same as was probably the error of the two
gentlemen who saw Mr.. Tilton with M.
IN the International procession in honor
OF Kossel. Mr.. Tilton neither walked by
me nor rode with me that day, nor with
Miss Clafiin. So we see how easily peo-
pie may be mistaken about things in
which we have an interest, and we ought
not to be surprised that a great MANY

duction to this colored gentleman, nor of
hearing me discuss the question of free
love with my servants, or with any body
else, in the language recited by Mr..
Woodley, or in language to the same ef-

my servan+ with tableaux in which Til

sired to kiss and embrace, there were
plenty of opportunities to do so beyond
the sight Of vulgar observers. Whenever
Tilton did me the honor and the favor to
spend his evenings with me, we
were engaged in entirely different pur-
suits from those with which the defense
wish to impress the jury. IT'S true that
Mr.. Tilton was a more constant visitor at
my house and ofice-frecuently lunching
there at my request--than he testified to
having been when OH the stand but we

this part of that PERSONS narrative as
there is in in any part Of it that relates
to the imaginary conversation of 1872. I
