CHICAGO LETTER.
A Very Interesting Budget From
Our Regular correspondent.


CHICAGO. April q. 1888.
The recent action of Judge Lynch's
court IN Dakota, in making angels of
tsO Chicago men. the nepheEs of ex
Congressman G. b. FsrEell, has erea.
ted quite sensation 10 this city, be-
cause the two unfortunate young men
were well. and fsvorsbly known here.
Frederick and Charles Ward. the
victims Of the terrible tragedy, were
well educated, and should, il would
appear, have been well posted as 70
frontier law, and the serious conse.
queDees of its violation. However. it
seems they we're not. There is scarce
ly doubt but the dead men sealed
their own doom by not placing a
higher estimate on the warnings Of
those who had lived on the wild border
long enough TO become fully acqusin-
ted with the actions Of the 'vigilantes. {"
Up to this writing. the case IS against
the Wards. There can scarcely be a
doubt but that they Jumped claims
already located" and relied on their
personal nerve to hold them against
all claimants. In this instance
discretion" would have been the
better part Of valor. New corners"
should respect the customs" In vogue
IN the community 10 which they cast
their lot. There are extenuatine cir.
cumstances where an Ignorant per.
son violates the laws created by irons
tiersmen for their protection; but none
where intelligence" attempts to over
ride and defy said rules for the Local
government and mutual protection ri
those creating said laws. The Wards
we're intelligent" conseouentlv
should have acted like sensible" men
and not have attempted TO BULLDOG
others out of their rights. There !,
no use wasting sentiment" condemn
ing Judge Lynch. Would not IN,
most God .fearing person kill a mar
he found buvglarizing his house, anC
would not the law" justify him
Certainly Then wherein is the diff
ference? In such instance the KILN,
, would be unsuitable homicide" Bu
in the Wards case, the moral pres
J considers the killing murder mos
foul. Surely, laws established b
small communities" should be q
binding against wrong as those mad
by large" bodies of citizens.

Upon the receipt of the following
letter Commissioner McWhirter At

MANCHESTER, Iowa, April %.
Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture,

DEAR SIR-We propose running
some very low rate land excursions
from Iowa and Illinois to points on
our line in your State some time DUR
ing the fall and winter months. To
this end we shall get out several
pamphlets descriptive of the cities
and towns on our line and the country
adjacent thereto. We propose to
thoroughly advertise the fact that in
the State of Tennessee are thousands
of acres of land that can be purchased
from So to $40 per acre; that there are
hundreds of plantations for sale at
extremely low prices, and delight
full climate, abundance of fruits,
plenty OF fuel, and all OF this we pro,
pose to work up boom for the South,
and what l desire is that you send by
express or railroad matter, without
expense, say fifty or one hundred of
your State immigration books, and
any other matter that will aid me in
getting out such pamphlets. Our sue.
cess in running land excursions to
western points has resulted in boom.
ing lands from So per acre to $50
within four years time. Please send
me anything you have at your Office
that will aid me. Yours truly,
J.F MERRY,
General Western Passenger Agent of
the Illinois Central Railway.

Three little boys last evening, after
rolling up their trousers and wading
about in the river at the foot of McGill
street for length of time, found the
enterprise too limited, and suddenly
stripped off all their clothing and
plunged head foremost into the midst
of the floating masses of ice, being fol
lowed by two spaniel dogs, who seemed
to enjoy the escapade as much as the
juveniles. The enjoyment was, how
ever, Of short duration, for at the end
Of three minutes boys aud dogs, the
latter having been in the water some

Intimidation and coercion, nor the
