CHICAGO, October 26,-The whereabouts
Of HerbertAL Thier, the Kenosha lawyer,
real estate dealer and speculatoF, who BY
forgeries and alse representations wipdled
his fellow-townsnen out Of asumot money
yariously estimated at from $50, 900 to $780,
900, has been a subject OF anxious specula-
ton to the sheriff OF Kenosha county and
to the Chicago detectives. The last public
information concerning him was that he
drove TO the State Line station on Tuesday
afternoon, tagged the eastern bound passen-
ger tnain on the Northwestern road, board
ed the train and rode to Waukegal, where
he left the road and drove rapidly Wea,
He drove to q station on the Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, and from there
came 10 Chicago over that road, reaching
this city before 0 o'clock the same evening,
From the depot he went to the house Of a
friend, left note, and sought q hiding
place for a few days, until he could COM
plete arrangements for an advantageous
flight. He found this hiding place in
furnished room at the corner OF State and
Van Buren, streets, where he remained until
last tSaturday night While there he was well
cared for by trusted friend, who kept
him informed Of the movements Of the de-
tectives, and helped him to prepare the
programme for his future course. satur-
day night this friend took him in 0 car
riage, and drove with him 10 small rail
way station in Indiana. Here they rested
fora few hours, while Thiers had his mus
tache removed, screwed up his Roman
nose somewhat, and made some other A.

also braced himself up with stimulating

turned to Chicago to work his end Of the

letter from him offering TO pay 20 per cent

which this end can be secured will be

The Winter Of the West.

A letter from Chicago to New
York paper, describing the sercri-
ties OF the winter in the Northwest,
cannot fail to make us admire our
climate here. We fancy that We
have had hard winter, and arc
often disposed to grrnble about it
and envy the balmy gales and
orange groves of Florida. But MP
in Minnesota and Dakota there
has been an almost continuous snow
blockade for three months past.
with deeper snowdriits than were
ever known before. The painful
impression seems to exist that when
the snow has disappeared it will be
ionnd that there has been great
loss Of life. 1t is claimed that many
remote settlements have been liter
ally buried nnder the avalanches of
snow, and the inhabitants have
persisted from cold and hunger. 1t
is said that in the cattle rangea be-
tween the Missouri river and the
head Of cattle have pcrished, invol =
wing loss Of $S,O0O,C00 to $10,-
900, 900. In the country between
the Platte and the Niobrara rivers
the loss of stock from severe wea-
ther has been from 25 to 40 pei
cent. The cattle were mostly
killed during the terrible "bliz-
zards' that have repeatedly swept
over those sections, but many per-
ished from want of food. The peo-
pie in these regions have now be-
fore their eyes the new danger o
floods from the melting of the un-
preccdenteG quantity OF SHOW which
has fallen.

Medical Effects of Onions.

\ mcthe. writes to an English agri-
cultural journal as follows:
"Twice week-and 1t was generally
when we had cold meat uunced-I
gave the children dinner which was
hailed with delight and looked forward
to. This was dish of boiled onions.
The little thing. knew not that they
were taking the best Of medicine for
expelling what most children suffer
from-worms. Mine were kept free
from this remedy alone. 1t was a med
ical man who taught me to eat boiled
onions as specific for cold IN the
chest. lie did not know at the time
till | told him, that they were good
for anything else"
The editor Of the Journal adds: "A
case is now under our own observation,
in which rheumatic patient, an ex-
treme suffer, finds great relief from
eating onions freely, either cooked or
raw. He asserts that It is by no means
fancy, and he says so after having
persisently tried Turkish baths, galyan,
ism. and nearly all the potions aud
plasters, that are advertised as certain
alternatives or cures"
DR.. G. w. Balfour. in the Edin-
burgh Medical Journal, records three
cases in which much benefit was afford
cd patients Ly eating of raw onions in
large quantities. They acted as a diu-
letic in each instance. Case first was
woman who bad suffered from large
white kidney, and construction of the
mitral valve OF the heart. Her abdo-
men and legs had been tapped severa
times but after using onions as above
she was free from dropsy for .uo years

The Future of the Cranberry Mines.

From the interest now being man
Ifested in these famous and valua
bic iron works, by railroad men and
manufacturers, it is evident that the
rich ores there found will sooner or
later play no unlmportant part in
tho iron markets of the world.
Aside from the road now being
bullt from Johnston City to the
Mines, Gen. Imboden and Pitts
burg Company arc now having
surveyed a narrow-gauge road from
Bristol to intcrsect with the Gran
berry road at Elizabethton-thc
object being to put Pittsburg in
immediate communication with
those ores. The Pittsburg manu-
factures have hitherto been having
most OF their ores shipped from
Africa and Spain, being unaware of
the fact that the finest ores Of the
world were within five hundred
miles of their factories.
It is understood that this road is
to be pushed forward to some point
on the Western North Carolina
Railroad near Marion, through
Rutherford and into South Caro-
lima.
The engineers have already locs-
ted the rooaG to Elizabethton, anc
are now prospecting south OF tho
mines.
These va,uuble mines are located
in the northeast corner of Mitchell
