The Pueblo Indians and the
Eclipse.

During the eclipse the Pueblo In
dams Of Taos, N. NJ, were much sg-
itated. The chieftain of the village
came forth in great excitement and
declared that some one had commit
ted a great sin and the destruction of
the village was imminent-or at least,
the extinction of the sun. Three
trusted messengers were therefore
sent at once to the priests to conjure
them to keep the eternal fire on the
altar burning at its brightest, while
all the women Of the village were or
dered to strip themselves naked and
run in pairs round the race-course
where the foot-raccs take place.
Thanks to these simple precautions
the eclipse soon passed off. The Gus
tom of having the women run these
races in nude state is universal with
the Pueblos on occasions ofthis kind.
They have tradition that Montezu-
ma was betrayed into the hands Of
the Spaniards by his daughter, and it
is thought prohab BILE that the requiring
of the females to humiliate them
selves as penance for the original
crime committed by one of their eek
against this dignitary grows out of
the tradition.

STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Four Others
Seriously Injured.

The boiler in the saw mill of. Luz
Gus Ball, situated few miles south
west of Dodgeville in this county,
about II miles from this city, exploded
yesterday afternoon with q terrific re-
port, and resulted in the complete
destruction Of boiler, mill and en-
CINE. The boiler was torn in frag-
ments and scattered far around the
previous site of the mill the logs and
shed were SO cleaned out that the
spot now looks as though there never
had been a mill or shed at that .plsce.
Six persons were severely scalded
and bruised by the accident, the inju-
ries to two of them being fatal. The
fatally injured were b. f. Byers, the
sawyer, man about thirty years of
age, and tthe engineer, Whit. Gallo
way, about twenty-one years old.
A young man named Carl is hurt
very badly and two men named HAYES
have received some severe wounds
but are not considered dangerous.
John Reed was engaged in loading
railroad ties in the yard when the ex.
plosion occurred. He was struck on
tho head by the debris and scalded by
the escaping steam, and lay senseless
for long time. His team as well az
himself was nearly covered with the
mud and debris.
AS soon as possible the sufferers
were given all the aid and assistance
possible, De. Barclay, Of Dodge
vile aud a doctor from Pleasant
Grove were attending the wants Of
the victims. The sufferings of the in
jured men were more than the strong
est man could face. A more com.
plete disaster than the destruction
of the mill was never recorded
HQacEeye.

A Fanatics Fate,

LONDON, Aug. N.-Rowan, cores
pondent of the Times, gives an &C.
count Of the Grossete fanatic, and the
circumstances of his death. Lazar-
retti declared himself to be Christ
come again, and had chosen twelve
apostles. On the morning of the 18th
inst. the self-styled prophet, at the
head of about $500 folio wers, started
for the village of Areidoss. His pur-
pose, it is said. was not peaceful. A
hundred believers, dressed in white
TUNES like ancient Jewish priests, led
the column. At their head walked
David, the saint, attired half regal
half Pontifical costume, with a dia-
dem on his head and an iron stud
ded club in his hand. The procession
sang hymn with the refrain Long
live God and the Christian Republic.
Praise be to Christ come a second
time on EARTH" The mob was met
half way by delegate of police, ac-
companied by nine carabiners, who
invited them to disperse. Upon this
David cried, ~ am King, and order
ed his followers to disarm the soldiers
AZ he spoke the police were fired up
on and shower of clubs and stones
followed. The delegate gave the
requisite warning to disperse, which
was followed by the prophet aiming
blow at him with club. The po-
lice then finding themselves surround
ed opened fire and among the first to
fall was the prophet, shot full in the
forehead. His followers. seeing their
leader down, gave way.

Truth In Big Chunks.

1t is refreshing to see n democratic
paper now and then i'm Iowa, honest
and sensible on the financial question.
There are a few suchT.sand prominent
among them is the Davenport Demo-
crdt. Here is a recent editorial utter
ance by it:
1t is the Council Bluffs NonpareH
that speaks truth i'm big chunks when
it declares that "what is wanted just
now, more, is not more money but
more commerce.. There is n plethora
of the former, as is proven by the
millions that are seeking investment
at low rates, but there is a notable
lack of the latter, and the intlationists
are doing all they can to destroy the
little that remains. This is one of the
most serious obstacles to return of
good times. 1t is impossible for bust
ness to revive in this country while a
political party advocates bad faith
and openly threatens reputation of
Just debts. Capital is the power that
sets the wheels of industry in motion
and keeps them going, and itpositive-
ly refuses to perform this or any 9TH
er kind of service at such u time.
To insure a return of the old and bet
ter order of things it is absolutely
necessary that public confidence be
strengthened and encouraged by a
popular rebuke of inflatiOnism, abso-
lutte moneyism and communism,
promptly and emphatically admins
tered. There is no other way under
heaven whereby the business interests
of the country can be lifted out OF
their present depression and made to
prosper.

A correspondent of the Inter- Ocean
asks that journal the question, have
we any positive authority that the
1905 were made legal tender? The
Inter- Ocean gives the following ex-
tract from the act of June 30, 1864, to
prove that they were legal tender, or
o portion Of them:
"The said Treasury notes may be
disposed of by the Secretary Of the
Treasury on the best terms that can
be obtained tor lawful money, and
such of them as shall be made paya-
BILE, principal and interest. at maturi-
ty, shall be legal tender to the same
extent as United States notes for their
face value, excluding interest"
The extract is correct 1t was one
provision of the law, but the Inter
Ocean ought to know, and if it did
know it, it ought to have said that
not one dollar Of the 1905 issued COM
piled scith that precision, hence none
of them were legal tender, only
those were legal tender the principal
and interest of which should alone be
paid at maturity No such notos
were issued. This is by no means q
very important matter in the finan.
cial question but journal like tho
Inter Ocean should be accurate.

THE DEED OF A DEMON.
A FATHERS BRUTALITY.

-~-'o HA<s .
VIRGINIA, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-Constable
Crow, from Beardstown, ILL.,, arrived
here last evening, having in charge o.
V. Pairing, . resident of Beardstown,
who, after having had a preliminary
examination, was bound over in $500,
and, failing to give bond, was accom-
panied to the county Jail, to await the
next term of court, the present grand
jury having adjourned. The facts of
the case are these: Last Friday eve-
ming, owing to the disobedience of
enc of his children, little girl twelve
years old, PAIRING took her to an out
house, tied her wrists together, and
suspended her from the rafters, her
feet clearing the floor about six inches.
He then stripped the lower portion OF
her person Of wearing apparel, and
whipped her with half-inch rope
until her limbs were horribly mutila-
ted. Neighbours caught nim at his
hellish work and informed the au-
thorities. the result of which was as
above stated.

Democratic Departure.


The result of the deliberations-w,
use the word in its conventional anG
not literal sense-of tho Democrat,
Congressional Convention which me-
in Ottumwa on last Thursday
though not quite as bad as we expect
ed, was far from meeting with oul
hearty approval. We had hoped
though it was forlorn hope-that the
democrats of this district would at.
tempt the preserve their party integ.
rity by the selection of a straight out
candidate, but at the same time we
have for some time feared that the
candidate of the greenbackers would
be formally Endorsed. Keokuk and
Davis counties made noble stands in
favor of straight democratic nomina-
tions, but they were outnumbered in
the convention. They made their
fight on a matter of principle and
were sadly at a disadvantage when
pitted against those who were con-
tending for policy, and looking no
further than immediate success.
The democratic convention, in de-
clining to make q nomination, has
AoAL tu0 parry III ILLS ulStTlCt WltuOul
q candidate, and under its action we
do not feel authorized to place the
name of any candidate at the head of
our ticket. Democrats are, as we UNI
derstand it, perfectly free to vote just
as they see fit without in any way
compromising their principles. How
Democrats shall cast their votes it is
not our present intention to advise.
Judge Sampson and his political
principles are well known through
out this county. Mr.. Weaver has an
now out for q number
of meetings in this county, and will
shortly be on hand to fill those ap-
pointments. The only advice we can
offer at present is this: Do not be too
rash in committing yourselves either
way. Wait week or two, hear Mr..
Weaver and hear Mr.. Sampson, don't
condemn any one without hearing,
lay aside prejudice and favoritism,
and let your calm judgment and So
Der reason dictate your action, and
you will not have anything to regret.

New YORK, Aug. PA. j. Hinche-
man stated that he did not think the
depression in bnsiness was SO great
as reported and he believed govern.
ment should not interfere by Iegisla-
ton.
F. +. Thurber, merchant, believed
the primary cause of all the ills are
the development Of steam and elec-
tricity, which in connection with la
bor-saving machinery have within a
comparatively few years revolution
lied production, and altered our
manners and customs OF life and now
absorb the attention of statesmen of
the day in the adjustment of the or
ganic law to meet the changed con-
dition ofthe age in which we live.
The only remedy is to wait until con-
sumption catches up with production
again.

successive heats on record, without
breaking, and amidst loud applause.
He thereby won the purse of $500,

Bridge Burned,

MoBERLY, No., Aug. 25.-For some
time past there has besn some difficult
~ between the employees and the con-
tractors of the Chicago and Alton ex-
tension to Kansas City from Mexico
west. 1t is supposed that the trouble
grew out Of the failure to pay the en-
ployes and clearinghouse keepers.
1t eliminated in the attempt to burn
the Purse bridge, about two and ONE
half miles from Higbee, at about 2
o'clock this morning. The fire was
discovered by Mr.. Riley, Of st.
Louis, and was extinguished after
burning the cords ct one end. The
bridge is structure about sixty feet
long, and will have to be repaired be-
fore construction trains can pass over.
The feeling among the employees is
desperate, and they seek to DESTROY
the company's property, for the sake
Of venting their spite against the con-
tractors. There will be trouble ahead
It they are not paid soon.

Gov. WADE HAMPTON went out to
Edgefield county, in his state, to talk
to the democracy, and this is the way
that. conciliated individual talked
about Gen. Grant:
We had as the Chief Executive of
the United States, a man whose high
est conception of the law was embod-
led in the findings of court-martial,
and whose disgraceful ignorance of
the constitution of the country was
only equaled by his shameless disre-
gard of its most sacred obligations.
Brutal, ignorant and drunken, he hes
itated not to crush the people of the
South by the power ola paid soldiery.
With an armed hand upon their
Threats he attempted to stifie the
breath of their liberty, and, placing
the iron heel of military oppression
upon one of the original thirteen
states of the Union, he reduced it to a
military satrapy.

In his speech at the old settlers eel
ebration at Fort Madison, last Thurs
day, Judge Johnston made the fol-
lowing eloquent and beautiful sugges-
ton:
"The old settlers of Lee county are
fast passing away. Many have been
gathered to their fathers since our last
meeting, and the snow which never
melts has fallen thick and fast upon
the few that remain. Let the young
err generation honor and respect, as
they would honor and respect their
fathers and mothers, these relics of a
past time, and when the usual day ar
rives for the decoration of the graves
of the soldier dead, let it not be for
gotten to cast votive wreath above
the places Where therude forefathers
of the country Sleep"

A financial Question.

federate money in the country. There

some of it laid away as keepsake,
and this advanced to the dignity of
greenbacks would not only increase
the currency several hundred millions
but would bring real relief to thou
sands who deservei,. The North too,
would not complain, as there are mil
liens of confederate notes held there
as relics of the war.-Richmond Ta J
