Gus adventure which made him famous in
his native town happened several years
ago.
Our hero was then bright active boy
of 1.-THE son Of mechanic. In the Sc
we're winter Of 1885 the father worked IN
a factory about mile from his home, and
every day the boy carried him his dinner
across piece Of meadow land. One keen,
frosty day, he found the snow on this
meadow nearly two feet deep, and no
traces Of the footpath remaining. Yet
he ran on as fast as possible. plunging
through drifts, keeping himself warm by
vigorous exercise, and brave. cheerful
thoughts. When in the midst Of the
meadow, fully half mile from the house,
he suddenly felt himself going down,

Cough is symptom by which various dis

and lungs manifest themselves. But whether
il arises from the irritation produced in tue
throat and larynx by taking cold, from an at
tack Of Bronchitis, from incipient Consumption,
or from various other causes, nothing will al
lay it more speedily, or cure it more perman-
emily than Dr.. P;erce's Golden Medical Discov-
ery. It does not matter whether it be recent
attacks, or lingering cough, the discovery in
either case is equally well adapted for its relief
cough in one half the time necessary to cure il
with any other medicine, and it does it. not BY
drying t up, but by removing the cause, sub,

Both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago
Times Of Tuesday contained specials

count of an alleged interview between
William S. King and the President and
Postmaster General. whom he happened
to encounter on the street. Possibly the
interview may be correctly reported in
other particulars, but both mar
ratives are wrong in stating
that King wanted the Mime.

him reappointed, and what is more he
has carried his point, as was stated IN our
dispatches Of yesterday In other words
the President has recognized King IS the
member Of Congress from this district.
and entitled, therefore, to the benefit OF
the rule which gives that functionary the
right to control the appointments IN his

duced by being lied about by the indes
pendent press that Congress enacted
law to meet sucn cases it was known as
the .spress gag iaw,'' and somehow was
not popular. Mr.. Butler also threw him
self into the breach, and upon frequent
occasions denounced the press as mali
cious. mischievous, and false, and once he
recognized its superiority by character
izink it as ''forty ,jackass lnud-throwing
power.'' Notwithstanding all this the
statesman of the period continues to COM
plain of being lied about, and every little
while some new one is doubled up with it,
az with sudden cramp.
Mr.. King of Minnesota has got it! A
very bad case. He went to Canada by
advice of counsel when it first broke out,
and the consequences was it went very
hard with him. The Minnesota Legisla-
ture took hand in discussing it., and
William stood up and ''cussed'' them
from afar by mail. The press INDUCED
in reflection and comment upon the case,
and he passed it over in silence. A COM
mittee called aloud for him, but to those
remote barren regions where he had gone
for treatment no committees voice coalo
pierce; he heard no committee. A dep
utv Sereeant-at-Arms waited on him with
a summons he treated the officer with
consideration and the summons with
contempt, and then when Con-
gress had adjourned he dropped down to
| Washington and demanded of Postmaster
General Jewell the removal of the Minnie
apolis postmaster. His calmness amused
Mr.. Jewell. That functionary smiled
upon Mr.. Kings insisting upon being re-
cognizcd as the representative OF the MIN
neapolis District, and consequently en-
titled to the patronage of the District
could ANYTHING be funnier than that
Mr.. Jewell intimated that there was just
a shade of doubt about his being admitted
to the next Congress. And then w William
stated to the Postmaster-General thai NJ

And vet in spite of it Mr.. Jewell declined
to remove the Minneapolis Postmaster
This is the worst case yet. Couldn,1

Just because he had been lice

and demanded to be indicated by the re

But Gov. Jewell, who has been dom
some queer things, utterly refused to win

A Br1degrOOm's Suicide.

NJ Y. Herald.
On Wednesday morning the bridge-ten-
der Of the Patterson and Newark Railway
Bridge, at Newark, found floating in the
Passaic River, between the bridge piles, the
body of an unknown man. From some
marks discovered on his face and head it
was at first supposed that he had been the
victim Of foul play, which suspicion was
increased from the fact that a man arrested
in East Newark had stated that he saw a
man thrown overheard from barge in the
river near the bridge named. Investigation
by the authorities, however, has disposed
Of this theory, and it is now certain that
deceased committed suicide under very pc
culiar circumstances. On the body was
found slip of paper with the name canton
Wuensch, No. 8 Belmont avenue" 1t was
found that Anton, who was carpet-bag
maker, had been missing for week. -Four
weeks ago he married widow, who had
several children but it appears his welded
life became unbearable, so that he finally
drowned himself The evening he left
home he had serious quarrel with his
wife.

A Monster at Ilr-e.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Last night, about
midnight, Nine. Fortmcyer, sentenced to
ten years imprisonment, made her escape
from prison in Jefferson City, by forcing
her body through over the transom of her
cell. There were no CRATES or guards to
impede her flight. She has bold and des-
Perate friends on the outside, and there is
little hope Of recovering her. Nine. Fort
meyer was convicted at the April term OF
the st. Louis Criminal Court of the murder
Of young girl named Lena Miller and her
infant child by malpractice. After her ar
rest serch was made of her house and the
charred bonesof two infants were found in
stove in her bedroom. She confessed to
Detective Metzger that one of the infants
was that Of Lena Miller, which she had
burned alive. A number of horrible de-
velopments followed, showing the accused
10 be perfect monster, it being an un-
doubted practice of hers to burn every
child delivered by her, whether dead or
alive. There is good reason to believe
that she has murdered and burned at least
tfty infants during the prosecution of her
lnhuman business in this city for series
OF years. She had also earned an infa-
nous character in New York and Chicago
before she came to St. Louis, and her oper-
atlons in the monstrous practice have pro-
fably been more extensive than those of
any other person in the United States. At
ter her arrest she boldly threatened to ex-
pose large number Of reputable people in
this city if they did not extricate her from
her difficulty, and there were great efforts
made by certain persons in her behalf, who
succeeded in obtaining for her the light
penalty Of ten years in the Penitentiary,
instead of the gallows.

WHAT WE HAVE TO EXPECT.


Congress shows no disposition to
be just, says the Tribune. The lead
ers have taken counsel together and
determined that the aim Of their leg
islation during the few remaining
weeks Of the session shall be the res
toration Of the Administration party
to power in the South, at whatever
sacrifice of honesty and decency, at
whatever cost to constitutional liberty
and law. The reign Of thieves,
cheats and political blacklegs shall
be continued. The ballot shall be a
travesty and reproach. Deputy
marshals shall be sent into the cane
brake and the cotton field to lie for
the party. Beach and Hester shall
be furnished with fresh bales OF war
rants. Charles Hays shall have his
character patched. Dir. lloar shall
discover intimidation, and Merrill
shall telegraph madly to Washington
that war Of races RACES in Shreve
port, where two thousand negroes are
robbing hen roosts fur a living
Men shall make laws who were never
elected. Governors shall rule who
are hated and despiscd by their IN"
fortunate objects. PecuIation, per-
jury and the bayonet shall be the in
struments of administration in what
was once a free country; and so in
one way or another, by force if not
by trick, the votes of the Southern
States, and what little there is left Of
the money of the Southern people,
shall be controlled for the regular Re-
publican candidate in 1876.
1t is just as well for US to compre'
bend that this is the plan which the
majority in Congress has deliberately
adopted. Upon those paftisans with.
out either wit or conscience, who
follow the lead Of Mr. Morton, re
monstrance will be thrown away
Ii is to the PEOPLE of the North thai
We must now address ourselves in
the hope that the fierce indignation
which must burn in every hQnes'
breast when these viIlianous scheme:
are made clear, may warn the schem'
srs to beware, lest in their desperate
efforts to retain q few Southern
States they lose everything else.
