WITH HARTMAN.
A Few Words with the Omni-
present Nihilist. ~

Leo Hartman, the famous Nihilist,
who was compelled to fly from Russia,
and is supposed to have sought an
asylum in this country, was seen yes
terday sinking about a back alley
trying to find a place where he could
get two glasses of beer for a nickle,
and a LEDGER reporter went on his
trail. He found him as he was in the
midst of heated controversy with a
red nosed free lunch 6end, and from
his strange gestures seemed to be en-
%deavoring to persuade the owner Of
the red nose to contribute it to the
cause of Russia.
"GOod morning, Mr.. Hartman"
said the reporter, ARE you in the
United Stateso r Canada this morn
ing?"
Judging from your familiarity with
so distinguished a person as myself, l
must be in America" was the reply.
"Mr. Hartmann" said the reporter,
changing the subject, "How is it that
you appeared simultaneously in Chi
cage, New York and Canada, and ap
peared in interviews in the papers of
those cities on the same day."
st is done by a process only known
to the order to which l belong. My
ancestors we're the principal heroes of
the Arabian Nights Entertainments,
and transmitted the secret to me. l
introduced it into Nihilism. The
charm by which it is work is com.
posed of equal parts Of pen and ink,
paper and lies, mixed in a ton Of jour
nalistic cheek"
What is your plan of future opera
tons, Mr.. Hartmann
"Hop-scOtt is my game, young man.
My tor shall be a Gar"
Are you aware that your every
movement is logged by Russian spies2"
II am. | know they are Russian
by the drinks they take at my ex-
pense whenever l sneak into the back
door Of a saloon. They always take
hot rum and red pepper. Here comes
one now. Excuse me; 1 must be
going. l will interview Lcadville and
Baltimore reporters to morrow" and
at the moment he walked out quickly
at the back door, To the reporters
establishment he met him at the front
door as he went out.

the train. The glare Of the head light
seemed to confuse him as he started
down the track at a rate of speed
which astonished the engineer, Mr.. G..
Luther, who put on all steam iu the
vain effort to run him down.
AT the curve near the south end of
the lake he nearly lost sight OF his
snakeship. Once around the curve
and down grade the train went tearing
down the valley, the snake still lead
ing, until the Merrimac bluffs appear
ed in sight and warned the engineer.
to slow up for the draw-bridge over
the Wisconsin river. At Lodi, TWEEN.
ty miles from the lake, the snake was
found firmly wedged in the cow
catcher of the up train. He was with
some difficulty released aud taken
home by Mr.. Luther, who now has
him in a neat cage at the Cliff House.
where he has been seen and admired
by thousands of summer visitors. He
is said TO be nine feet eight. inches
long and sixteen inches in circumfer-
ence at the center of his body.

The most serious obstacle to the
success Of cotton factories in the
South has been the purchase and use
Of interior machinery by some ooFpO-
rations. This has been worked of at
low prices by Northern companies
who had discarded ii for improved
machinery. There is great deal more
Of the same sort on hand, and the
owners expect to sell il to Southern
men who are not familiar with the
latest devices for saving labor. But
despite all impediments, the progress
Of the South in tho manufacture Of
cotton has been almost phenomenal
during the past three or four years,
and a very cheerful prospect OF large
returns is inducing heavy investments
of Southern capital IN this branch Of
industry.

Tubes and Lungs leading to Con-
sumption; but, moving to tie east side
of the town, he went to the nearest
druggist for a bottle of this article,
when the druggist attempted to palm
off some article of his own manufac-
ture in place of it; and using here the
gentleman's own language, he told the
druggist he couldn't see it,, or in
other words. he was satisfied with
Hale's Honey of H%crehound and Tar,
n wanted nothing else, as he had
used this, and knew by experience that
this article would give almost immedi-
ate relief, and in a short time would
enect a permanent cure of any or all Of
the foregoing complaints. We have
our eye upon the above mentioned
druggist and trust, should he read this,
Eit will be a lesson to him and to any
druggists to furnish Hale's Honey Of

reason that any n who uses this .arti-

The adjourned school meeting was
held yesterday afternoon in the school
house, a very number of electors being
present.
The principal business before the
meeting was the matter of building
additional school room to accommo-
date the overflow of scholars in the
primary department.
A lengthy and thorough discussion
was had, and it resulted in the meeting
delegating the necessary powers to the
school board. These powers are. the
determination of the character of the
proposed increased accommodations,
the selection of the site, and the au-
thority to notify the county commits
sioners Of the amount necessary in order
that the necessary taxes be levied.
