A FIEND'S WORK.

4 Young Girl Fear1iatty Handled by a
Tramp--A Fit Subject for the Hangn,an's
Moose.
A special from Crete, Neb., says: zone of
the most brutal outrages ever committed in
this part of the state occurred Saturday on
Cheese creek, about FIVE miles northeast of
Crete, upon the person of a twelve-year-old
daughter of farmer by the name of Chris
tian Range. The particulars, as given by the
girl, who is in very critical condition, with
little hope for recovery are as follows: She
was sent by her mother to get some wild
plums about half mile from home. While
in the bushes picking man came up to her
and without saying a word caught her by the
throat, choking and throwing her upon the
ground. When she attempted to call assist
ance he took out large knife and told her he
would kill her if she made noise. After ac-
comprising his purpose he left her in
shocking condition. Not returning home when
expected, her brother was sent to look for her,
and found her where she had been left by the
fiend. She describes him as low, heavy-set
man of dark complexion, black mustache and
chin whiskers, with heavy eyebrows that meet
between the eyes, and a scar on back of right
hand. He looks like Spaniard or Mexican.
A farmer living near says tramp of this de-
scription took dinner that day at mis- house. A
brakeman says he saw such a looking person
at the B. & NJ. depot at Lincoln on Sunday.
Officers and men are securing the country,
and cards have been sent to all the towns in
this section of the state.

Pneumonia 4mong the ,Jerseus,

DIR. Salmon, of the agricultural department,

commissioner, upon the outbreak of plehro-
pneumonia among Jersey cattle in Illinois
He says in part: This is the most serious
outbreak that has occurred for long time,
and unless prompt action is taken to stop it
the jersey cattle interest in the west will be
ruined and pleurO-pneumonia will be beyond
control. Several of the finest herds in the
state are now infected. One affected animal
in the herd examined is worth S1,O. Some
than that, and two of the herds contain over
forty head EACH" DIR. Salmon further SAYS
the state authorities have agreed to cooperate
with the government in exterminating the
disease. Acting Commissioner Carman has

necessary. and to the full extent authorized
by law. The officials at the agricultural de-

4 Bold Offer of the Solid Vote to Cleveland.
Blaine or Butler.
Boston Dispatch: At the Parker house
Mrs. Parnel held conference with num-
Der of Catholic bishops, and the leaders of the
Irish National league, concerning means by
which the coming political contest in this
country can be turned to the advancement of
the Irish cause. 1t is understood Mrs. Par.
nell represented her son at the conference.
Mrs. Parnell submitted the details of a
scheme for the benefit of the Irish home in
dustry, which she stated was conceived by
her son and being put in practical execution.
Parnell, she said, had formed an association
in England and Ireland of capitalists and
manufacturers whose aim is to encourage
home industry.
This association proposes to establish facto-
r1eS for the exclusive manufacture of Irish
goods such as could not be manufactured in
England or in other countries, including such
articles as laces, linens, frieZes, woolens and
tweedS, and preparations are in progress for
the establishment of such factories in differ
ent parts of Ireland. Mrs. Parnell made a
suggestion as coming from her son that the
proposition be submitted to the republican
and democratic parties, the acceptance of
which by either would decide for which party
the organized Irish vote should be cast. Mrs
Parnell stated that as these Irish goods could
not be made in this country, their Importation
would not in any way conflict with American
nome industry, lnaSmuch as the association
in England proposed to control the produc-
ton. Mr.. ParnelPs proposition, therefore,
was that direct offer be made to the politi,
cal parties of the United States as follows:
If, in accordance with the friendly feeling
expressed towards Ireland in America by
Americans, one of the political parties will in
corporate plank in its platform in favor of
admitting goods of Irish manufacture free of
duty, specifying such goods as cannot be man
ufactured elsewhere than in Ireland and the
importation of which will not compete with
American productions, then such party will
receive the organized support of the Iris-i l.
American vote, even if a direct organization
is not made. The Irish vote can be directly or
indirectly influenced in favor of the party
which shall champion the cause of he Irish
industry as indicated.

What He Says Concerning Some Reports
Put Ira Circulation. lrr.
In an interview at Portsmouth Lieutenant
Greelv said, as to the reports OF divisions IN
the expeditions: ''In regard to the story OF
two factions, with Lieutenant Kislingbury In
charge of the opposition, will say that It Is
totally false, having no foundation whatever.
The trouble between Kislingbury and myself
occurred in 1851, the first year of the expedf-
ton. He desired to be relieved from duty,
and l, not wishing to retain the man against
his will, although had the power so to do,
gave him his liberty. He went southwark,
but the "Proteus" was sunk and he returned
to duty. / treated him as though nothing
had happened, and recently, when Lockwood
died, gave Kislingbury the second place In
the expedition" -
What do you say about the condition or
Kislingbury's bOdyY" asked the reporter

me. All these later disclosures and terrible
charges come upon me with awful sud
denness. L can say truthfully that l
have suffered more anguish during these last
few days than did in all my soJourn AT the
north, when the chances were one hundred TO
one against me. i can but repeat that IL there
was any cannibalism, and there now seems to
be no doubt about it, that the man-eating was
done in secrecy and entirely without my
knowledge and contrary to my discipline. 1
ed an investigation and it will come in time,
but can say nothing more than L have al
ready stated. All my papers and kisling-
bury's diary, LockwOod's diary, and, in fact,
every scrap of paper relating to the expedi-
ton are in charge of the war department at
Washington. The crew of the '.Thetis" can
testify that the last man dead, Schneider, was
not mutilatcd in any way, and the fact that
we kept Allison alive in the hopeless state
that we were in ought to convince anybody
that we are not cannibals. Since my return
from Newburyport every one of my men has
called on me- They came in body and assured
me emphatically that they knew nothing
about the condition of the bodies of their
fallen comrades, and each sOlemnly swore
that he was innocent Perhaps those who died

this is supposition. l ca but answer for my
self and for my orders to the party. days

The Mormon Missionary Murders.

Governor Murray sent the following dis
patch to the governor of Tennessee:
dispatches indicate that you are exerting
yourself to vindicate the laws in the matter
of the murder of Mormon missionaries in
Tennessee. l thank you for this action. The
charges of preaching polygamy are not an ex-
cuse for murder. 1 trust you may bring the
guilty to punishment, thereby preventing
such lawlessness in Tennessee and elsewhere.
Lawlessness in Tennessee and Utah alike is
reprehensible, but the murdered Mormon
agents in Tennessee were sent from here, as
they have been for years, by representatives
sees representatives in congress are, to say
the least, Indifferent to the punishment of
offenders against the national law in Utah. 1t
Is cowardly outrage for their constituents
to kill emigration agents sent there from
