BLAINE SUES FOR SANDER.
The Republican Candidate for President
After . Newspaper.

On August 14th Messrs. Harrison, Mil
Ter g. Elan, attorneys at law at Indianap-
oils, entered suit in behalf of James G.
Blaine, for the publication Of the following
article in the indianapolis Sentinel:
"Can Blaine afford it? The campaign
war against Cleveland is to say the leas, an
indecent one Finding no vulnerable points
in his public record the enemy have as
sailed the supposed irregularity in his pri-
vate conduct. They have dressed and re-
dressed the affair until the naked facts OF it
are but small portion of the furbelowed,
frilled and ruff1ed bizarre figure waltzing in
the Blaine Republican prints. This be-
smirching private character is the stock in
trade of Blaine folks. 1t is all they have
to offer against the Democratic candidate.
But can James G. Blaine afford this plan Of
battle? If his f1anks are as unprotected as
they are currently understood to be, is he
not provoking scathing fire by permit
ing these assaults on Grover Cleveland i?
The Democracy will hardly remain quiet
on Blaine and his inner life when his sup
porters are resorting to scandal mongering
against it's candidate. The charges of Sc
duction made upon Mr.. Cleveland and
which are false npon their very face, can
be turned on Blaine and made to stick !:
There is hardly an intelligent man in the
country that has not heard that James G.
Blaine betrayed girl whom he married at
the muzzle Of shot gun.'
Bulletin.-The following is the last of
Blaine's dispatch to Colonel Holloway:
BAR HARBoR, August II, 1SS4.-To
Colonel A. R. Holloway: have this mo-
ment received the atrocious libel of the
indianapolis Sentinel. 1t is utterly and
abominably false in every statement. Po-
litical ISLANDERS do not stop to consider. but
this editor assails The honor Of my wife
and my children. desire you without ain
hours delay to employ the proper attorney
and have the responsible publisher of the
Sentinel sued for libel in the United States
District Court of Indiana 1t is my only
remedy. am sure that honorable Demo-
Gratis alike with Republicans will Justify me
in defending the honor Of my family, if
need be 6y my life.
(Signed), JAMES g. BLAINE.

A PREACHERS FRANKS.
A Chicago Minister Murders his Wife
and Attempts Suicide.

At Lake Niew, 4 suburb Of Chicago, on
last Tuesday Rev H NJ Collision, pastor
Of the Fullerton Avenue PRESBYTERIAN
church, shot his wife and then himself that
afternoon The bail entered his wife's head
back of the ear, killing her instantly. He
aimed at his own temple but held the re-
volver rather low, so the bullet passed be-
low the brain, back. of the eyes, passing
almost through and horribly cutting both
optical nerves. He is still alive though
the chances are against his recovery. If he
survives he will be totally blind, There
was no quarreling. His wife was about to
go out riding with neighbor woman who
was waiting at the gate with buggy. AS
she started out he called her back three
times in succession, the third time closing
the outer door and doing the dreadful deed.
Rev Collision became pastor Of this church
four years ago, but dissensions arose ON ac-
count Of the PASTORS extreme Calvinisn,
and the membership dwindled away until
last June, when he rendered his resignation,
and his pastoral relations were dissolved,
his resignation TO take effect at the end Of
this month. The neighbors noticed of late
that he showed signs Of wandering mind;
believed he brooded over his church troub-
les and seeing but a poor prospect for the
future, determined, in fit of nomentary
insanity, to end the troubles Of himself and
wife. They leave four small children un-

SAINTS SENT UP.
The Killing of a Number of Mormon Ell
ders in Kentucky.

An organization established by Nor
mon elder in Lewis and Hickman counties,
Kentucky, about three years ago, was
broken up Sunday by the killing of al! the
elders by a band of masked men. Mr..
Depriest, United States mail carrier, Bow
en-, Ivey Mills of Centerville, Hickman
county, gives the following account of the
massacre. The three elders were leading
a meeting ON Conder's farm, Cane Greek,
Lewis comfy ;;vlast Sunday s,,yssiags~ ,she,
twelve men on horseback rode up to the
house and ordered a young man named
Hutson and young Conder to surrender.
They showed fight. One masked man
knocked Conder down breaking his skull.
Hutson fired and one masked man fell dead
and was found to be Dave Hinson, a citizen
of Hickman county. He lived at Brush
ford, on Beaver Dam. The masked men
then shot and killed two of the Mormon
elders. The third elder ran toward the
woods from which firing was soon heard.
The elder has not been seen since, and it is
supposed he is also killed. 1t is since as.
certained that the masked men before CO.
ing to Conder's house stopped at the house
of man named Garrett near Conder's
house and found Mormon elder there.
They left two masked men in charge of
this elder Shooting was heard shortly af-
terward and that elder has not been seen
since. When the firing commenced at
Conder's house one elder hid behind Mrs.
Conder and in shooting at him Mrs. Con-
der was wounded.

THE WOOL MARK EFT.
The Market Reported i'm a More Favor
able Condition than Heretofore.

Late dates from the wool dealers Of the
East say there has been more activity in
all the markets during the past week.
The mills have run low in stock, and manu-
facturers have been purchasing more freely
for near wants, and in some cases in an
ticipation Of requirements. There is gen.
eral confidence in the stability OF present
prices, which are regarded as cheap even
BY buyers. Supplies cannot be bought at
any point in the interior to resell at cur
rent rates on the seaboard except at loss.
This fact has encouraged some speculative
buying by dealers in the Boston and Phila-
delphia markets. Commission houses are
unwilling to make further concessions, as
on the bulk Of their consignments they
have made advances very close to present
prices. The goods trade situation is still
unsatisfied, particularly for clothing WOOL
ems, but some lines of fall fabrics are selling
more freely, and the general outlook is 4
little more encouraging. This influences
and improves the demand for wool. The
market cannot be quoted higher for gen
eral sales, as the bulk ofthe weeks busi-
ness has been At the lowest prices Of the
season, but better rates have been obtained
ia exceptional cases, and the situation Is
whole is more in favor Of sellers than It has
been 1t any time since the marketing Of
the new clip began.

THE IRISH LAND LEAGUE.
What Parnell's Representative Said to
Reporter.

Sexton comes to America as Parnell's
representative 10 the Land League con-
vention in Boston. Sexton was inter.
viewed by reporter to whom he said: My
only purpose in this visit to America is to
observe the formation ard system of the
LEAGUE and to discuss the methods for fos-
tering harmony, for on harmony alone de-
pends the successful carrying out of the
League do not deem it wise in year
like this when the country is absorbed in a
Presidential contest to endeavor to gain at
tention for another subject. l shall prob
ably return home the goth inst. as political
events require my attention. Next year l
shall come again and address the citizens
of your country on the subject of the work
we have in hand. When asked if he had
any special news from the other side Sex
ton said: No, affairs remain about the
same, the land laws are badly administered.
The government appointed land commits
sioners who are in sympathy with the land
lord class and they broke the back OF the
Healv act that tenant should not be COM
PEELED to pay rent on his own improve
ments. 1t is a shameful thing and the
Leagues first effort is toward the abolish
ment Of that system. When we accom-
plish that end the adjudication Of rent will
be taken up. No doubt that question re-
quires long consideration. He declared the
statement that there was personal diffl-
Guilty between Parnell and Davitt as er-
roneous.

MORMON PROSELYTING.
The Work of Suppresslng 1t Should Have
Been Begun in This Country
Long Ago.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Nevsbater of
July Goth, says: "The Austrian authori-
ties are less tolerant of Mormon proselyting
than those of this country. Here the
champions Of polygamy are permitted to
defy the laws and preach their abominable
doctrines with entire impunity; but in
Vienna the police have been ordered to ar
rest all Mormon missionaries detected in
the act of endeavoring to secure converts
to their taith, and the prompt issue Of war.
rants for the apprehension Of certain Of
tenders shows that the Government is
thoroughly in earnest in the stand it has
taken. If all foreign Governments would
unite in a similar policy, the door would be
more or less effectually closed to the re-
cruiting sergeants, or so-called ,nissiona-
ries, upon whose labors the acquisition Of
recruits for the church 80 largely depends,
and the solution Of the question which has
SO long vexed our craftsmanship would
certainly be rendered more easy. But,
then, we can scarcely expect that foreign
Governments will do for :, ybc. we have
failed to do for ''rselves. Having trifled
with this question from the start, we must

History of Mower County.

Believing the time has come when a
complete and well written history of
Mower county should be published, the
work is now being undertaken by the In
ter-State Historical Company. of Min
neapolis. The work will embrace an
elaborate history of the county from its
earliest settlement to the present time;
with detailed history of every city, vii
lage, and township; geological, topo-
graphical and agricultural features; the
political, military, civil, newspaper press,
educational and religious history; legal
history, with history of the most i'm
portant cases that have occupied the at
tention of the courts "reminiscences and
personal incidents. In fact. the work
will comprehend every event of histori-
cal Importance. An important and inter-
esting feature of the volume will be the
biographical sketches of old settlers and
prominent and representative citizens of
the county, both Of the past and present.
The work will appear in quarto form,
printed on fine book paper, substantially
bound in half leather, with spring back;
appropriately illustrated and contain
about 800 pages. Realizing the difficult
ties which attend the compilation of a
work of this kind, the company adopt,-as
an efficient means Of keeping the work free
from errorin every Department. plan
of submitting every page Of the manu-
SCRIPT, prior to it's going to press, to COM
mitties made up of prominent old settlers
OF the county. Ageneral committee, con-
sisting of nine members, will be ap-
pointed to revise and correct the general
chapters of the work. A chairman will be
appointed in every township in the coun-
ty, who, upon the arrival of~the township,
historians, will select two associate mem
bers. Thus the history of each township
will be revised, corrected and approved,
before 1t goes to press, by a committee of
three prominent pioneers in each town
ship. In a week or 50 the Company will
send corps of experienced historians,
who will go into the various towns and
interview eueay man in Moaoer county who
has any knowledge of past events.
The citizens are asked to aid the hister-
lans in their ardueus duties, of obtaining
data for the forthcoming volume. Next
week we will publish list Of committees.
