An Honest Lumber Dealer.

Chicago Tribune.
During the political campaign in
Michigan last fall the Hon. John @.
Blanchard, q lumber dealer, spoke his
mind freely on the protection ques.
tion. He was honest enough to con-
fess that he upheld the 81 tax on the
people of Illinois and Iowa, who
bought Michigan lumber, for purely
selfish reasons, but that.ihe was for
tariff reform on everything except
lumbar. He spoke substantially as
follows:
I am high tariff on lumber, but low
tariff on salt, copper. iron, wool, cot
ton, iesther, g,A,s, cic. Will tell
you why. I own timber lands and
sell stumpagc; besides, I operate
largely myself, and this tariff puts
money into my pocket. I get 90 per
1000 more for my stumpage and 80
per 1, 900 for my boards. I have just
sold 5000, 600 of lumber for SIG 30
par 1000 mill run; pretty good
price. Voices: That's 80; that 80. "
We'll, 1 think 20 too. But for the
tariff l should not have got 80 much
by So per l 600. Now, So 200 on
100000 10 Just $4,000 That is
the difference to me, in one operation,
between high tariff and free lumber.

LINCOLN, February l2--The closing

passage of laws to compel land grant
roads to pay taxes on their lands.

Tremendous pressure 10 brought by
the Lincoln lobby and B. & M. to
carry
THE CAPITOL APPROPRIATION.
Combinations have already been
made to carry the bill, but if 1t carries
at all the margin will be very close.
II takes fifty.one members of the
house and seventeen senators to make
the bill law. The following named
members are counted on to support
the capitol appropriation: Senators
Barker, Bomgarduer, Brown of Lam

GLOVES AND NO GLOVES.
A Sudden Change in the rashion
Which Will Suit the Possessors
OF Well-Shaped Arms.

Fashions in gloves have changed
suddenly, says waiter In the Brook
lyn Eagle. The very swell thing is for
ladies to 60 gloveless when in full
dress. The fashion is not at all popu-
lar yet, but bids fair to come into
favor, as 1t has been set by several Of
the most advanced leaders. 1t Is q
violent change from the very long
gloves that until recently were In FASH
ion. The long gloves were blessing
to women with unattraotive arms, but
the women with good arms were not
30 enthusiastic over them. The vic.
tory is in favor of beautiful arms,
which goes to prove that there are
more of that sort than the other.
Now that 1 think of 1t, however, I
don't remember that I ever met q wo-
man who didn't believe her arms were
beautiful. With men the fashion has
also changed radically. 1t has not
been the proper thing for men to wear
gloves with evening dress for some
years past. This season, however,
both In London and In Paris light
gloves arc worn. They should not be
pure white. The great glove makers
claim that they will be ruined if wo-
men decide to go without gloves.

UnfaThful Wife.
ROCHESTER, Nov. 1.-The village of Bata-
via on the line of the New York Central
road, between Buffalo and Rochester was the
scene, on Tuesday night, of bloody shoot
ing affray, with sensational surroundings.
Edward N. Rowell and wife have lived two
years in Batavia, having removed from
Utica where he was well known as an ex-
pert accountant and gentleman of good So
cial reputation. Before their removal Mrs.
Rowell had received the attentions of a prom
inent young lawyer of Utica, named Johnson
L. Lynch. whose mother is wealthy and
whose father is q broker Early this week
Mrs. Rowell wrote to Lynch, addressing him
as Dearest john" and asking him TO come
to see her as soon as her husband had de-
parted on an expected travelling trip of two
weeks Lynch answered the invitation by
promptly accepting it, But Rowel did not
leave town, as his wife thought. She had
sent her two little girls to the house Of
neighbor, and met Lynch at
their greeting, fastened home, Sc.
creted himself in the house and
watched. He waited until they had eaten
supper and retired to her room, at O'clock
As soon as he heard the bed creak he rushed
into the room, found his wife and Lynch
undressed, and on the bed. He drew re-
Volver and fired in the ceiling over their
heads. Lynch ran, pursued by Rowell, who
shot him twice. The wounded man dropped
dead, with bullet through his brain, just
as he reached the front door.
Rowell surrendered himself to the sheriff,
and was locked up. He says he had no in
tention of shooting Lynch. He had pro-
vided himself with cayenne pepper to throw
into his eyes, after which he intended to per-
sonaliy chastise him and kick him into the
street. but tine sight of him in his own bed
so enraged him that he impulsively shot

WORKING UP THE CASE,
How Killian and Hobbs Secured the Conf
dence of the Criminals.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


BooNvILLE, Ind, Nov. 1.-About a year
ago ]. w. Killian, young man who at that
time owned a hardware store at Stendal, a
small village in Pike county, twenty-four
miles above here, had several pieces of coun-
terfeit coin offered him In payment for goods
by two or three young farmers in the neigh
borhood who were regarded as bad men. A
great deal of counterfeit gold and silver was
in circulation about the place, and the same
men had passed some OF the spurious
coin at q saloon in Stendal Killian
reported the matter to the secret
service department, and was instructed to
receive any counterfeit money offered him in
the future. The correspondence opened in
this way resulted in Killians being appointed
detective. Soon after he received counter
felt coin from Lum Houchins, Zimri Kinder
and one or two others whom he had sus-
pected The matter was reported to head
quarters. Acting under instructions from the
secret-service officers, Killian began to culti-
vate the acquaintance of the two men and
their associates. He was soon in confidential
relations with them. His business was aban-
doned, and from his questionable asso-
Citations he soon came into disrepute with
the people who had regarded him as
young man OF integrity. In proportion as
he lost the esteem of the better class of peo-
pie he became more the confidant of his
disreputable associates.
Some time during last January young
man appeared in the neighborhood of STEM
dial, and announced that he was DIR. Charles

about the county, and carried with him an
assortment of medicines for the cure
of chronic cases. He also carried

A Strike Nearing the End.

BRooKvILLE. Nov. 1.-The disastrous strike
of coal miners which has been in progress
along the low-grade road. is fast nearing an
end. There are nearly 800 men still out at
the three mines at Dubois, 325 at Reynolds
vile, and fifty at New Bethlehem. The
Beech-tree mine has resumed, the men going
in on Monday. AT Pun xatawney forty men
are at work, and sixty have gone in at Fair
mont. The latter have signed what the
miners term an iron-clad agreement not to 20
into any protective organization. One OF the
leaders OF the strike stated to-day that the
strike was virtually over. as the men were
unable to hold out longer, and were anxious
to resume work. He said the operators were
aided from other fields and were supplied
with coal sufficient to fill orders. Business
of every character has been paralYZed since
the Inauguration of the strike and bitter
feeling exists
The river coal miners have called a con-
vention for next Tuesday for the purpose of
suspending all mines working under the 3 =
cent rate, and to provide means of sup
port for those who may be forced to stand in
defense of river prices.
