n sad double tragedy occurred in the
town of Gordon, Douglass county, last
week, the particulars of which are as fol-
lows: Two Scandinavian boys, aged re-
Spectively nine and eleven, were found
dead, near their homes. From what can
be learned of the facts, it appears that the
two boys were fighting, and the larger was
seen sitting on the back of the smaller one,
iamming his face in the water and mud.
The natural surmiSc is, that having held
the little fellows face in the water so long
he was drowned, and, finding what he
had done, was afraid to return home, stray,
ed off into the woods alone, brouding over
the event in the lonely hours of the night,
and being fearful of Il justly merited pun
shment if found, he discovered the pool of
water and deliberately held his face in it
until he was drowned.

At an anti.third term national Re-
publican convention held in st. Louis
on May 9th, resolutions were adopted
declaring their "unalterable opposition
to the election Of any president to a
third term" Among the resolutions
adopted is a clause worthy Of perusal,
and one which is the real foundation
for the greater part of the opposition
to Grants denomination. ''That the
nomination of third term candidate is
especially to be deprecated, because
it will unavoidably put the republican
party on the defensive, because it will
add to the memory Of the public scan
dals and of the official corruption which
brought our party to the verge of ruin
and will again ALLEVIATE large and
powerful body of voters without whose
aid successis neither possible nor de-
served, while in the character and sur
roundings of the third term candidate,
we find no guarantee against their re-
currence, but rather renewed menace

The Council have about decided to
submit to the people, proposition to
vote bonds for the purpose of procur-
ing fire engine and for the construc-
ton of a sewer. Fer some time past
the council have had under considera-
ton, the necessity of making some pro-
visions for protecting the village from
the calamity of fire. but they have
been unable, for pecuniary reasons, to
take such steps as would be necessary
to provide adequate facilities. We
think the idea of issuing bonds an ex-
cellent one, and one which will meet
with very general approval, as every
person in this village is interested in
seeing steps inaugurated, that will al
low us to defend our property and pro-
tect it from the utter humiliation to
which it is constantly exposed. There
is no doubt but that it will cost us a
large sum, say 81, 900, but let any one
think for moment of the risk we run.
and of the danger which menaces US,
and they will concede that it is much
better to pay such sum, than to haz-
ard having our village swept out of ex-
| iStence.
Some may think that the village can
for the present do without the sewer,
but, there are many who would like to
see the question carried, as it would be
of great value to owners of property
who are unable to use their cellars.
The present surface drains are perhaps
well enough for the streets, but are o.
no value insofar as sanitary measures
are concerned, and Of no benefit tc
property, as there is no sub-Surface
drainage. Our village site is poorly
located, the ground being low, but il
will be easy and comparatively inexpen
sive to build a good sewer, and to drain
it thoroughly would increase the value
of property very materially.
However there is time enough t.
discuss the proposed measures, and il
would doubtless receive the attention
it deserves, but we do hope the village
will do something toward immcdiately
providing means to fight fire.

1t is difficult to consider Window S
candidacy in serious light, for there
does not seem to be the remotest posi-.
bility, that any combination of circum
stances will arise, which will give a
Minnesotian the nomination. 1t does
seem absurd to imagine that at time
when there is need OF every republican
vote, when the result of the contest is
in doubt, when the party must do all
in their power to secure the doubtful
states, that candidate will be chosen
from small state, positive republican
stronghold. 1t would give us pleasure
to support Mr.. Window, and as a
Minnesotian we would be proud, were
it possible or polite, to do the little in
our power to aid in his nomination, but
we must acknowledge that at this time
and under the existing circumstances,
the probability of his receiving the
nomination is simply preposterous, and
altogether unlikely. Of course some
contingency may rise that would make
it necessary to chose some one aside
from the more prominent candidates,
but as near as we can learn Window S
friends, are simply using his name for
the purpose Of preventing any such
contingency arising, as his candidacy is
but disguised Grant movement, plan
ned to wrest this state from Blaine. 1t
is well planned scheme, but it will
fall a long way short Of the object, as
people will not believe, at present, that
at time when both of the great poll
teal parties of the state are nerving
and preparing for a political battle
which will probably be the bittcrest
and most stubbornly contested struggle
in the history of the country, that our
politicians will send a mouse to fight a
tiger.

Chinese Women.

Mr.. Charles Stevens, clerk of Hon.

speaks as follows to an interviewer in
the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch:
The highest ambition indulged in by a
Chinese woman is to have her name
placed upon public record as having
passed through forty years. OF virtuous
widowhood. There are in certain pub
lie places tablets of enduring stone, upon
which are inscribed the names of those
women who have been widows for forty
years, and lived during that time above
suspicion. But few ambitious hopes oi
this character are realized, however, as
the scarcity OF names on the tablets fully
proves. The women's feet are smaller
than many suppose. They are generally
from three to three and a half inches
long, though they are often compressed
to two and half inches. The process OF
stunting commences early in childhood,
and is cruel and painful in the extreme.
The feet are broken Just back of the root

the greater the effort TO produce excep-

the body has attained full size the woman
is comparatively helpless on her feet,
and can only walk with the assistance

classes generally enjoy the luxury Of
natural feet, though they aspire TO have
one daughter in the family with feet
aristocratically diminutive. The first
born, ii girl, generally dies from heart

A Burning Mountain.

The Panama Star and Herald says;
We learn that the eruption of the Fuego,
the largest volcano in Guatemala, was
preceded by earthquakes of considerable
violence, the theater of whose operations
was confined to the country surround
ing the volcano, within radius OF some
twenty or thirty miles. In Antigua,
Amatitlan, Palm, Petapa and several
other points, the shocks were OF such
violence as to occasion serious alarm
among the inhabitants, and caused
them to abandon their houses for several
hours. With the beginning of the ex-
plosion, however, the earthquake period
ended, and the people in the streets OF
the various pueb'os were able to wit
ness in tranquility the splendid appear
ance of the burning mountain. During
the morning OF the day succeeding the
day of the eruption the pueblos on the
Costa Grande, to the northward of the
volcano, were shrouded in gloom, and
for sometime after sunrise people in
offices were compelled to employ arti-
fetal light to carry on their labors.
Ashes and dust fell in great quantities at
many miles distance, and Tpeople who
were at too great distances from the
volcano to witness the explosion were
for some time in doubt as TO their
origin.
