Can't. MahlOn BIach.

The Brainerd Tribune, one of the
straightest and strictest Republican
county papers in the State. hois's the
name Of Capt. Mahlon Black, of Hem
nepin county, for State Auditor. Mr.
Black is the Democratic nominee for
that Office, and his qualifications arc
beyond doubt. We are opposed to
Whitcomb on account of his incapac-
ity to discern the equity connected
with the questions that come before
HIM. his one>sided and limited views
of things, and his deficiency in the
public spirit which every public officer
should possess. He is charged, too,
with actual incompetence in other re-
spects, but as to that we are not pre-
pared to judge. And his nomination
was secured by lot Of ringsters who
evidently have something IN view be-
sides the public good, and are deter
mined to keep him in the Auditor
Office during the remainder Of his nat
ural life.

The Fairs.

Last week we visited the State fair
and Minneapolis exposition, but both
are so fully described on our: second
page by our able assistant in St. Paul
that 1t is unnecessary for US to say much
about it. The State fair was u grand
success, but the Minneapolis exposition
was fully equal to if not ahead Of it..
Presideot Hayes, Attorney General
Devens and other noted persons were
at the State fair Thursday and at the
Minneapolis exposition on Saturday,
and made speeches. The races were
as good as the world ever Witnessed,
taken as whole and, in fact, every
thing was first class.

The Yellow Fever.

A gentleman who left Memphis re-
Gently was interviewed by a reporter of
the Chicago Tribune in relation to the
yellow fever, and among other things
said as follows ::
"I'lI never forget one place on Jefer>
sen street: The whole family-fatb>
er, mother and seven children all
we're in one room. The father was
dead, and his body hung across the
bed with his head hanging down and
the black vomit spattered all over the
bed and the room. The mother was
dying. and that horrible black vomit
it looks like coffee>grounds-was
running out of her mouth into the face
and breast Of one Of the children that
lay on the floor by the bed. Ugh ! it
makes me sick to think Of It,"
"All the children but one we're
down with the fever, and they rolled
around on the floor and screamed and
groaned 50, it seemed as if hell had
been moved up on earth. s.
'FAll of them that die don't have
the black vouit."
"How does the fever handle pa
tieut?'' 1T generally commences
with chill. Then a severe pain in
the head and back, with sickness Of
the stomach. The kidneys ceuse to
act. and the patient is afflicted with
constipation. After six Or eight hours
the fever comes on and delirium-gen>
orally. Sometimes there IS no deliri~
um. The fever runs about seventy
two hours, and then comes the crisis.
After that is safely passed the patient
begins to come around, in good many
cases, after a day or two, with
out any apparent cause, he sinks and
dies. I think it must be exhaustion
Some are delilious from the start-they
drop without any previous symptoms,
aud die within twenty~four hours.
"There is DO telling the amount of
suffering there. Many man has been
taken while away from home, and the
poor fellow has crawled into some
hole where his body has been found
days after, twisted out of all shape,
and found only by the horrld smell Of
decaying flesh. A number Of houses
have been broken into, and whole FAM
lilies have been found with their bod
les falling to pieces.'

A keen observer has discovered that
while men may doze through a long
sermon and nod when the contribu-
ton box comes around, women have
never been known to go to sleep in

enough. A woman's attention IS not
confined to the preacher and sermon
alone. She takes in the whole service,

Attempted Assassination Of Emperor
William. of Germany.

Another attempt has been made upon the
life of the Emperor William of Germany,
this time more serious in its results than
that made few months ago by Hondel.
A cable telegram dated Berlin, June 9, says
While the Emperor was taking drive, at
2.39 O'Clock this afternoon, some shots, ap-
parently proceeding from house in the
Avenue Inter den Linden, were fired at
him. The Emperor was wounded in one
arm and on the cheek by buckshot and small
shot. The would-be assassin is DR.. Nobel
ing, occupying apartments at No. Is Inter
den Linden. When his door was forced
open he fired upon and wounded the hotel
keeper and tried to commit suicide, but was
secured. The Emperor's personal atten-
dant jumped into the carriage and support
ed the Emperor until the carriage reached
the palace. The Emperor was conveyed to
bed and several grains of shot extracted,
causing great loss of blood. The Emperor
suffered great pain, bnt Eever lost conscious
ness up to the latest moment. At seven
O'Clock this evening no serious apprehen-
sions were felt as to his condition.
The following is taken from official ac-
counts and bulletins published in regard to
the attempted assassination of the Emper
Or:
Modelling fired twice with double-bar-
relied gun. The Emperor received about
thirty small shot in the face. head, both
arms and back, but about G o'clock this
evening his general condition had improved
in satisfactory manner. An immense
crowd from all parts Of the city thranged
into the avenue Unter den Linden on the
news becoming known. The assassin is
Karl Edouard Modelling, a native OF Kollno,
Ia 10
dent OF Berlin, doctor of phllology, an
agriculturst and a habitue of democratic
socialist clubs. A quantity of arms were
found in his apartments. He fired on per-
sons attempting to arrest him with ready
loaded revolver, and then inflicted severe
wounds on his own head. H. confesses the
crime, but Obstinately refuses to state his
motives. He is at the hospital station of
the Wolkonmarkt police district, attended
by his mother ard daughters.
A later dispatch says:
1t seems that after the shooting Of the
Emperor on Sunday, when the enraged
populace broke into Nobeling's apartments,
he discharged two chambers of revolver st
them. Mr.. Saltfeur, all innkeeper, was shot
and severely wounded. The crowd seeing
the latter bleeding, supposed he was the
assassin, and fell upon him with great fury.
The unfortunate man was so roughly han
died before the people discovered their mis-
take that his life is des paired Of. After his
second shot, Modelling turned his weapon
against himself and fired again, the charge
taking effect in his head. lie was instantly
seized and placed in prison van. AS the
driver of the van drove rapidly through the
archway at the entrance of the house, his
head struck against the arch with such VIC
fence that his neck was dislocated and the
man died.
