Seven years ago he arrived in New

this event he was drugged, robbed and
carried aboard German vessel bound
for Cardiff, England. The vessel was
eleven months reaching that port. He
went to the German Consul at Cardiff,
who sent for the captain of the vessel
and compelled him to deliver Mostel tC

pressed into the army at Berlin to serve
three years and nine months. At the

he deserted and returned to New Or.

He started out to search for her. After
wandering over the greater part of the
United States and Canada and writing
hundreds af letters, while in San Anto-
MO Wednesday he received n letter from
her at Dallas. She told him that she
bad given him up for lost, and had mar
ried Edward Kronan, but that she would
leave Kronan and live with him. He
took the next train for this city. Here
he met with another disappointment,

the train for Abilene at once, and it il

Row In a Church.

MAoUoKETA, Iowa, Oct. S.-A sensa
tional church row occurred here Sun
day night at the Union Prohibition
meeting, composed of the Methodist
and Congregational denominations.
The meeting occurred at the Methodist
Church, and as it had been announced
that the people would be told how to
vote, the ediiice was densely crowded.
After the introduction of the Congrega-
tional pastor, who delivered the address
IL. w. McCarron, q strong Prohibition
Greenbacker, arose and asked whether
the meeting was to be in the interest of
temperance and Christianity, or in the
interest of the Republican party If the
former, he would remain; if the latter,
he would leave.
The congregation Kissed him, and the
pastor called upon the deacons to put
him out. He then turned upon the
ministers and denounced them as hypo-
critics and unworthy of the name of
Christians. The deacons then made a
rush for him and attempted to drag him
out. His daughter called on the con-
gregation to hear her father, as he was
right His friends then rushed to the
rescue and a scuffie ensued.
In the heat of the excitement noses
were punched, and one deacon re-
ceived blow on the neck, but owing
to his position he was unable to turn
tae other side TO his assailants. Nc
Carron freed himself from the deacons,
and was then permitted to leave quiet
ly. Several old supporters of the
Methodist Church followed him and
did not return. When order was re-
stored the meeting went on. Members
of the church were instructed to unite
in earnest prayer from morning to night
for the success of the cause

An Indian Folk Story.

A man wanted wife, so he looked
about for one to please him, but could
not lind one among all the girls he
knew One day he met one called the
Beaver. She had lovely teeth; this he
noticed when she laughed, so he made
up his mind to marry her. He went
to her father and asked him for his
daughter, aud was told to marry hel
if he liked, but that if he did he would
have q lot of trouble; and the father
refused to part with her unless the sui
tor promised to make a bridge across
every stream he came to for her to
pass dry-footed This the sutton prom
ised to do. He married the girl and
lived very comfortably with her for two
years, when he went, as usual, owl
hunting, leaving his wife to make a
new camp. As usual, he made bridges
over all the creeks he came to. At last
he came to dry one. Over this he
made no bridge, but walked on for
about mile. where he hung up his bag
to show where he wished the camp to
be made. He then went on and made
his snares. 1t rained while he was do
ing SO, and he returned early expect
ing 10 find the camp. But when he
came to the place, there was his bag
but no camp. Going back to look for
his wife he came to the creek which
had been dry in the morning. but was
full of water; and what astonished him
more was that large beaver house
was built that he had not noticed be-
fore. He then determined to break it
but while he was trying to break in
he heard his wife's voice inside telling
him to go away, for his neglect to put
up a bridge had changed her into a
beaver. He tried many times to take
the house, but always failed His for
getfulness cost him his wife and two
children. = Chicago EUentng Journal.

Consul Seymour Murdered.

LONDON, October THE news from
China tonight is of the grayest char
acter, as the Marquis Tseng stated to-
day in Paris he feared it would be.
Word has just been received that Char
les Seymour, of Wisconsin, the United
States consul at Canton, has been assas-
sinated by mob. The population OF
Canton has been in ferment all day,
and the popular turbulence has been
directed almost exclusively against
foreigners without discrimination. The
immediate cause of these riots was dis
satisfaction over the sentence imposed
BY the British consulate upon Tide
waiter Logan. He was placed on trial
on Sept. 26. on a charge of having
been a ringleader in the riots on the
quay on Sept. 10. and with having dur
ing the hight. drowned a Chinaman by
throwing him into the river. The
trouble began in dispute between 9
Portuguese and some Cinnamon.
LONDON, October s. "A dispatch re-
ceiyed here says the rumor that was
sent as fact to New York, tina. United
States Consul Seymour, at Canton
China, had been assassinated, was pu

In many portions of this district there
has not been a drop of rain for forty
days. and the drought is practically
ninety days old at present. The cotton
crop has been greatly injured. In the

to ten acres is about the average; il
some places the rate is one to fifteen,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. A letter re-
ceived to-day from George Treat, the
well-known pioneer of California, better
known as the owner of the famous race
horse Thad. Stevens, dated MaZatlan.

weeks only five Of the original troupe

were all sick, and two of them died.
The victims were buried hastily and I'M
coffined, three hours before the usual
interval between death and burial. For
the last week the deaths have not aver
aged more than twenty day. The dis
ease, however, is sweeping the interior
towns like wild fire. The courts are all

Roasted Alive.

New ORLEANS. La, Oct. r. A muir.
der. accompanied with most horrible
circumstances, occurred at Provincial,
in Natchitoches parish, on Sunday
night. A party of negro section hands
on the New Orleans Pacific railroad and
Ned Bradfield, or Bradford, sat down
to game of cards. Luck was in favor
of Bradfield, who succeeded during the
progress of the game in winning all the
money of the other gamesters. The
losers, incensed at their losses, became
violent in their demonstrations against
Bradfield, and insisted upon his return
ing the money he had won. He re-
fused, and then an attempt was made
to take it from him. He resisted vio-
lently, and so angered his assailants
that in their rage they threw the I'M
lucky winner upon log fire, and held
him down over the blaze, an assailani
holding him by each leg and arm.
Bradfield. in his agony, managed to
wrench himself from the grasp of the
Infatuated negroes, but not until he
was terribly burned, his hair and scalp,
one hand, and the other arm being
completely burned away. In this
mutilated condition he engaged TO
walk several miles in search of assis-
lance. Remedies were applied, but
the man died in great agony Monday
night.

Hunting for Horace.

Secretary Chandler, the other day, re-
ceived the following letter from some
fellow who evidently has an eye to the
practical:
please send the whole navy to the
north pole or h. Send the North
Atlantic, the South Atlantic, North Pa
cilic, South Pacific, the South Pole fleet,
and the canal boats anything to save
the cranks that went up north for the
summer, and be sure and appoint
James G.. Bennett Commander-in-C Chief
and Cyrus w. Field Assistant Com
mander, and when you find the North
Pole | will rent it for a Chinese laundry
or short cut route to see my wife re-
lations. 1t certainly looks like foolish
ness buying and building ships at the
| peoples expense to be crushed up among
ice, Just because few cranks get tired
of their do-nothing life and wish TO 90
there for change, and run the ship in
a pack of ice in a safe place for them
selves, and come home to be filed with
glory and malaria, as Congressman
sometimes have. / do not know what
Greeley you are looking for. but think
you will be as apt to find Horace. For
goodness sake, telephone those North
ern tourists to return home. and when
they get here put them on the pension
list; but. for Gods sake, let foreigners
have all the glory in the discovery of the
North Pole and whatever else they like.
If some of your force want something to
do, have them come and sweep the sun
shine off our pavements. To be earnest,
hate to see American treasure and
American lives lost in such manner

A Washington correspondent of a
Chicago paper has canvassed members
of congress-elect on leading questions:
''Fifty-two democrats favor a revision
of the tariff, and sixty-four oppose re-
peal of the compulsory coinage of sill
yer dollars. Carlisle leads the list as a
candidate for speaker. All the republi-
cans who expressed themselves on the
tariff question are opposed to a general
reopening of it; twenty-six favor stop
ping the coinage of silver dollars; eleven
desire the total repeal of the internal
revenue laws, and the majority are for

after most successful season, and
there now remains only a short time for
the people of the Northwest to take
advantage of the low railroad rates
and witness the beauties contained in
this magnificent building. The attend
ance thus far has been most encourage
| ing to the management, the institution
proving itself to be great public in
structor and educator for the people
The department of machinery is un-
usually complete, very many agricul-
tural implement makers having extern
sive displays of the various machines
built by them. The dealers in textile
fabrics and furs exhibit articles of the
most elegant character, and in qualities
the finest. The experience of the past
two years has done much to advance
the character of the Exposition in every
manner possible. Spectators are offered
a chance to view the products of the
world within the spacious building, and
nothing that contributes to the COM
mercial and industrial greatness of the
SOttitlN al tsttSS has UGH
the list. The Exposition is in itself a
grand school, where Il better idea of
things manufactured can be acquired
by observation than in stacks of books
on the various subjects.
A stroll through the building is a
pleasure that should be enjoyed by
every one within the reach of Milwau-
kee. The machinery in motion, with
its constantly changing parts, is novel
and attractive sight TO ever visitor.
Taken in all, the Exposition is one
that the State has just cause to be proud
of, and it will no doubt be largely at
tended from now on until its close, Oc-
tober 20.
A rare musical treat will be offered
the last week of the Exposition. Sig.
A. Liberatti, the world-renowned cor
netist, has been engagaed, and will give
concerts each afternoon and evening
with Bach's full Military Band.

The excitement and hard work of the
political campaign are having bad
effect on the health both of Governor
Sherman of Iowa, and Judge Hoadley,
the Democratic nominee for Governor
OF Ohio. The latter made speech a
few evenings ago in Cleveland, and
showed distressing signs of weakness
and WEAKNESS. He looked thin and
haggard, and read his speech in hur-
ried manner, as if wishing to get
through as soon as possible. Governor
Sherman, of Iowa, spoke last week at
DE Witt, in joint discussion with Mr..
Kline, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. While speaking, the Cover
nor was taken with an apoplectic fit,
and stood motionless and dumb before
the assembly for several minutes. When
he was about to fall, assistance was
rendered by members of his committee
on the stand. There was considerable
excitement among the audience, and
much sympathy was expressed for Mr..
Sherman, whose official and political
labors have evidently undermined his
health. From later advices in the mat
ter, it appears that the Governor S
"apoplectic fit" existed only in the
mind of the reporter, who, by-the-way,
was Democrat

Hon. Jefferson z. Kidder, Judge of
the fourth district of Dakota and men,
Der of the territorial supreme court, died
at St. Paul last evening, in his 9th
year. He was at one time lieutenant
governor of Vermont, and, commencing
in 1876, was for several terms terrific
rial delegate from Dakota, in congress.
His death complexities the quo warranto
capitol commission case at Yankton,
and the question now is whether in a
case of vacancy il will require three
votes TO reverse Judge Edgarton's decis-
ion. The supreme bench of Dakota
consists of four members, and when all
are alive three must agree to reverse
any decision.

All that goes by the name of politics
is grouping itself around one or the
other of two objects. One is the patron
age. The other is the policy. Or, diff
ferently stated, one is the presidency;
the other the speakership of the house.
The matter of choosing speaker is
attracting more interest iu all parts Of
the country than that of choosing a
president. The interest is not limited
to the members of the house, nor to the
professional politicians In fact, it is
probably greater among men who are
not sin politics than among those Who
are. Aud this is accounted for bv the
fact, which everybody distinctly re-
cognizes, that upon the choice of the
speaker win depend Che policy of the
controlling section of the legislature in
relation to the tariff. the revenue, the
civil service. and every other unsettled
public question in which the country
feels any immediate concern. That is
to say, the policy of the dominant
party in the legislature will be deter
mined by the man it chooses for its
legislative leader. and not by the man
who may oceupy the presidency. This
is the fact which the whole country re-
cognizes; and this is what gives to the
canvass for speaker of the house more
immediate and greater interest among
the bulk of citizens than is felt in the
question of the presidential succession.
There is in this now generally recog-
nized political Importance of the speak
ership, in this now generally recogniz ed
fact that the speaker of the house. and
not the president. is the real political
leader of the country. the real con-
ductor of its policy respecting I'll great
public questions, that which marks an
important stage in the evolution of the
American constitution. 1t is an eyolu-
ton very worthy of thoughtful eonsid.
