IVES a s'mystery'' about the taking off of D.
Q. Sattler. It furnished its readers with o
long article to prove that "the taking off,
was not done by death. The impression
was sought to be conveyed that D. G. Sattler
had absconded to evade the responsibilities
OF his debts, and that his messages, written
with hand almost nerveless in death, were
lying deceits sent by him to cover his flight.
That the pistol shot, the plunge in tie
water "a stick of woody were all
parts of a grand scheme to blind and de-
fraud his creditors.
a few hours after this knocking theory had
been reasoned out and given to the public.
the dead features of David C. Sattler stared
up from his watery grave at thousand
bending forms to give the lie to the Pioneer
Press story.
The body of David c. Sattler has been
found. But the solution of the mystery.
'Why did he die?' is no nearer an end.
The coroner's inquest, so far. has proved
nothing except the abstract fact of death
that of which the corpse gave silent eyi-
dence.
The two brothers with tear-choked voices
testified. He was our brother. They part
ed from him at 6:30 o'clock Sunday night,
They could give no reason, no cause for his
death.
lsadore Heiman was with him from $50
to ll:3o O'Clock. They walked about town.
Ihey were at the Standard club at $50
O'Clock. They were at Donnelly's at 8
o'clock. They were at Sattler's store at 1870
o'clock. There seems to be some long in
terval of time to be accounted for.
Isaac Orsch6l was with them.
He is out of town.
VIM. Gels saw deceased pass up Third
street about - o'clock, very fast saluted
him.
Officer Babe heard him cry for help; saw
him in the water /; heard him die
Ali this proves nothing but what was
known already. Told by he calm face of
the dead, related by him in his "nessages. %
His messages to whom? Bergman. Henry
L. and Jacob B. Sattler and Kitty France.
Why did he die? At present no one
is nearer the truth than last Monday, when
it was known for the first time that the actor
in the midnight tragedy at the bridge was
David G. Sattler.
"The mystery is even further involved in
mystery by what has been evolved by the
coroner's inquest.
David Q. Sattler had at least 5000 on his
person Sunday night. When the waters of
the Mississippi gave up the body of David
9. Sattler only So was found upon the
corpse.

Was David G. sattler robbed and MUIR
dered2
Was David Q. sattler robbed, shot at and
thrown over the bridge?
Dld David Q. Sattler commit suicide, fight
duel? Was he robbed and murdered?
Each footstep Sunday night should be
traced one by one as David G. Sattler made
them on his dreary march from $50 O'Clock
p M to his death at midnight.
The coroner's jury meets again at 1(
O'Clock A. En- tomorrow.

HOW HE LOOKED.
The right arm was bent over
his breast, the hand half clasped;
the left arm had stiffened backward
and the hand was turned inward;
both knees were bent backwards. The hair
was clothed with sand, and at the roots
around the forehead encrusted ridges of mud
half concealed either temple and the fore
head; from small black mustache the water
dropped in riyulets upon the silent lips.
The face looked natural and was not dis

BEAooNsFIEnD's POLICY AssA1LED.
LONDON, Nov. 30-G Gladstone, in a speech
at Greenwich, inveighed against personal
government. He reproached the govern
ment for not communicating anything to
parliament relative to Afghan affairs, and the
question of sending mission to Cabul.
War had been declared and invasion
begun before parliament was invoked.
Parliament, formerly the grand coun-
Gil or the nation, now resembles
the parliament of France before the great
revolution. He solemnly warned the British
people not to abandon the principles of lib
erty which made its happiness. Speaking of
the Afghan war, he declared the money spent
therein is the dishonor of England, and her
responsibilities will not commence with her
victory. Lady Macbeth's words, e.He1e is
the smell of blood,'' are still powerful ora
ton, and unjust wars lead to national down
fall.

The following language Of the Earl of

European family, have not only the
right to be heard upon them, but it is
