NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
An Injured American Citizen As
serts His Rights-An Amusing
Instance Of Biundering and q
Literal Obeying Of Orders.

A few days ago the head clerk Of one o
he leading drug establishments in THU
city was busily engaged. with number o
assistants, in storing away a large and
valuable shipment Of glass. which, for con
venience in handling. had been unloaded in
an adjoining alley-way, through which ar
occasional team passed. Being called
away to attend to some matters in the store
he hurriedly called back to stop anyone
who attempted to pass through the alley,
referring, OF course, 10 the passing oil
,esms, until the glass was safely housed.
Returning in few m oments, he found a
number Of excited and angry men, who
were inquiring If they were to be forbidden
to pass through the alley. 1t took some
time to explain matters to the satisfaction
OF all parties concerned, and it seems that
lone foot passenger had been hailed
by the jealous and not too discriminating
clerk., and coolly told that he couldn't 60
by."
why, sir?''
"Don't know; that's the orders"
well, I reckon I'm goin' through.
Who's agoin' to stop me?'
Cant 60, SIR" and he was stopped till
further orders.
Naturally indignant. his cause was taken
up by . few loafen, who always contrive to
scent disturbance, and gather like pack
Of coyotes. This drew Others. and the
affair was progressing finely, when the
clerk reached the scene. and in few words,
explained the case, which raised laugh
from some, who saw the joke, but the
would-be highly injured American citizen
would not be appea.ed, and still thinks he
is the victim of an outrage.

SUICIDE.
A Young Man Blows His Brains
Out Because He was Cheated.

The EAzoo has very meagre information
in regard TO . suicide which took place in
Saline county, seven miles west Of Marshall,
on Thursday evening last, the first instant.
Mrs. Kaiser is widow, who resides near
Kaiser's bridge on the banks of Salt Fork.
Mrs. X. dep -nded upon her sons to attend
to her business. One day last week, John
Kaiser, son of the widow, sold pair Of
mules for $500. Subsequently he got into
the hands of some sharpers who either gam
bled his money from him, or otherwise
ewindled him out of it.
He went home and was SO overcome by
remorse at the fact of losing the money,
which belonged to his mother, that he took
a double-barrelled shot gun, put ii 10
his temple, and blowed his head wide
open, scattering his brains all over the
room which he was in.
The report of the shot was heard by
the members of the family, who went to
the room to find him m the last agonies OF
death.
The deceased was about twenty one years
old and belonged to a clever well-to-do
family. John bore q good reputation and
was respected by all with whom he was &C
qua,nted.
The funeral took place on Saturday las,
at onion church, and WAS attended by
large concourse of sympathizing relatives
and friends.

THE MEXICAN DIFFICULTIES
A Mexican Crisis Still Imminent
Nexlcans Pulling Down the
American Flag.

During the past few days it has seemed
quite probable that all the trouble with
Mexico and her lawless bandits would be
practically arranged, and public attention
has, to a great extent, been drawn to other
subjects; but the dispatches of Yesterday
and this morning bring news of an unsatis-
factory nature, and it seems rs If it was pos
itively necessary to enforce upon the Next

them the FIRST principles of justice and de.

The dispatches referred to. state that an
other regiment Of infantry marched for the
Rio Grande on the 10Th. Much excitement
prevails at the numerous reports Of fights
on the Rio Grande between Mexicans and
Americana. 1t is rumored body Of Mexi'
cans crossed to Eagle Pass, pulled down the
American flag and ran up the Mexican, and
that Matamoras pronounced against Diaz

TRYING TO CONFORM WITH THE TREATY.
Mexican officials on the Rio Grande claim
they give up criminals in all cases required

right to refuse to deliver their own citizens
on demand of . foreign power, a. the treaty
does not require it.

UNAccoUNrABLY MISSING.
Appleton City Claims to Have o De-

Mead. Cashier Of Appleton Saw

Appleton City is no, to lie outdone by
any ether city in the mstter OF deiaulters
and is getting highly excited at the con-
tinued and unexpected absence OF VIM. a.
Mead, cashier OF the Appleton Savings
Sank. The circumstances are thus given
in regard to the affair.
On Saturday night last, he called ut the
depot, making inquiries concerning the
trains, inquining especially about the south
ward bound trains. On le ,rning that il was
behind time nearly IN hour, he turned to
leave, remarking to friend in answer To IN
quiries that he had lost great deal OF sleep
and wss going to bed. He wa seen TO 60
into the bank where his sleeping rooms
we're and vas seen no more. Having pre-
viously remarked that he weuld perhaps
pass the Sabbath on his farm, las he had
frequently DONE no alarm was felt at his
absence and il was not until Monday,
we'll on in the day, that any par
ticular uneasiness was expressed, but
a. he failed to appear the excitement in
creased, and to this time nothing has been
ascert aimed that serves to explain the mys-
terry. Ii was remembered that he had said
previously that his books would not balance
BY about two hundred dollars, aud he was
anxious to 6nd the error. There seems to
be no doubt that he has ab-cOnded but how
mich money he has taken with him, or
hos great an amount he has distracted pre-
viously, ii any, or what condition his ac-
counts are in, is not known.
The bank has b-en closed, and its officers
are making an examination and inves,iga-
ting the books. His friends claim that h;a
al-ence is occassioned by some fears OF per-
sonal violence which was apprehended by
him on account Of some disclosures which
might be made at an approaching meeting
at O-ceola, in regard to the Narrow Gauge
raiIoAd bond. issued BY St. Clair county,
with which he was in some wav concerned
The prevailing opinion is that he has
taken some riches from the bank vaults,
and their proverbial wings have borne him
away from sight and sound. The Pho,

turn to this city and finish his tour over
