Editorial comment OF the Chicago TribuneJ

lEditor1al comment OF the Chicago Tr1tune.J
Tire Democratic managers have evidently con-
clnded that fome story must be invented about
Blaine to o tset the terrible scandal admitted to
he true OF Cleveland, and they have fou:d in the
Chi ago Times a willing to j to TO the dirty
much the same shape eight years ago by a local
PAPER in Fentut ky, which afterward retracted
tn: SANDER. As told at that time, tie sequel
would have refected credit on Mr.. Blaine rather
than have injured him if there had been any
truth in it. AS told now, 1t is barely
an intimation that, some thirty three
years ago, when Blaine was a
academy for boys in Kentucky, he contracted an
intimacy with girl which led to the departure
OF both parties from the town Of GEORGETOWN.
The girls name is not mentioned, and no one
vOuches for the truth of the statement. The
only basis for it alle ged in the scurrilous pub
location is that Mr.. blaine emigrated from Ken
lucky thirty three years ago, whi2. everybody
knows, and the assertion that the unnamed girl
also left the State and never returned, which is
women. 1t happened, however. that the very day
this vile yarn prepared for the CHI go Times
Mr.. Watterson made statement in one of the
New York clubs to this effect, His iournal-the
louisville Coet,ier-Jouraen!, had been offered
the sensation, but he declined it because he
had investigated the whole story when it was
first put into circulation years ago, and had sat-
istied himself that there was absolutely not
one word of truth in it," Mr.. Watterson 8 word
as gentleman, Democrat, and a resident Of
Kentucky. is the most complete answer that
could be made to the SANDER, especially after
p: Isonal investigation. This Blaine Scandal
will fall sti!l-bOrn, and leave the Cleveland
scandal, which is recent, explicit, and authenti-
Gated. to stand on its own merits.

THE TAINT or MILK.-"Haveyo you recent
" looked at the milk which my milkman
is furnishing, Mr. Roberts?" a gentleman
asked, the other day, as he entered the deal
er's Office.
"Yes, sir; find his milk to be very good.
Why, what's up?"
"Well, there's 4 strong odor about the milk
he delivers to me, and / don't like it.
An investigation by Mr.. Roberts revealed
the fact, which was, by the way, acknow-
| lodged by the dealer, that in the field where
his cows were pastured there are quantities
of wild onions. The cows like this garlic,
and the milk becomes tainted with a dlsa-
greeable SMELL
Mr.. Roberts gives an explanation of the
| taint of milk which is often noticed after
being taken from the ice. "Most people
put the milk on top OF the ice. The cold
| current descends and comes up on the other
side, after being more or less heated On
the second trip the air, loaded with all the
scents of the different articles goes directly
into the milk and stays there; because the
impurities will be attracted by moisture.
Now place the milk under the ice and you
will see that odors of the different foods Will
be left on the ice, and the milk will be as
| pure from bad smell or taste as when put
there. have placed glass OF wateron ice
in one side OF refrigerator, and a box OF
strawberries in the other. In three hours
the water was colored from the impurities OF
the berries. This is clearly good illustra-
ton of my point on milk. Milk is one OF
the greatest absorbing liquids, and it should
never be left in the sick room or wherever
there are unhealthy scents. You will notice
o greasy scum on water left in your sleep
ing room over night; that comes from the
! impurities of everything i'll the room being
attracted by the moisture. | always piace

DENVER, October 6.-The Tribune
Republicans special from Emporia, Ks,
received at midnight, says: Early Sun
day morning, ten miles west of here, an
attempt was made to rob the Santa Fe
passenger train. The robbers evidently
intended to ditch the train, as two rails
were found unspiked but not removed.
When the passenger train came along it
was running at such a speed that it passed
safely over the rails. When the
robbers saw the train flying by
with its rich booty they evidently
became crazed, for they fred avolley after
it, the bullets striking the cars in several
places Fortunately. no one was hurt.
Following the passenger was a freight,
which was ditched, the fireman being
killed and the engineer seriously injured.
Further particulars are not yet learned.

coLoRED woMAN's CONFIDENCE
1t Is Badly Imposed Upon by a shrewed
Cowboy.


Yes, l have been robbed" This
statement was very emphatically made to a
LEADER reporter by a stout-built colored
woman in response to his inquiry. Just
at this particular instance the lady was
very much out of humor.
MY name is Annie johnson, - she con-
tinued, ''and l am keeping house on
Eighteenth street for Madam Cook. who
is now in Des Moines. On Friday after
noon two men came to the house and one
of them stated that his name was j. G..
Williams, and that he was from Fort
Worth, Tex. where he had run a dance
house, but he had sold out and came to
this city and wanted to buy out a
business. He then asked me
to let him look at the house.
| took him and showed him all of the
rooms and the pair finally left. They had
not been gone but a little while before the
girl that was there with EN- stated that
she had been robbed and that Williams
friend had gone through her trunks and
had taken her jewelry. She was too
chicken-hearted to make a complaint and
let the rascal go. l didn't find out that
he had been through my trunk until Sun
day, and l found hat L had lost my
watch and chain, a shirt stud and breast
pin worth altogether about $l35. You
see, when Williams, the girl and myself
were going through the house, the chap
was going through our trunks and that's
the story of the robbery"
Williams is now in Jail. A woman, al
legged to be his wife, says he is a stock
man from Fort Worth, but others who
claim to know him say he is a cowboy
from a ranch on the Ru~nningwater. None
of the jewelry has been recovered.
Annie johnson is the woman who knew
something about the Fitzgerald murder
that occurred in Denver last Fall and will
be a prominent witness on the trial of the
murderers.

BILL NYE,s ruMuLrous r1Mn.
He Wresues With an Adult Cyclone
and Gets Left.

From the Denver opinion.
Those who know me best will remem-
Der that | have never, openly or secretly,
written or uttered a sentiment that could
in any way be warped into an adverse
criticism of the cyclone. Whatever 1
may have learned or observed ~deragatory
to the cyclone and its cruel and treacher-
GUS nature, | have even gone so far as to
stand up for and champion the cause of
the cyclone when its enemies sought to
damage it in my hearing.
l did this until 1 suffered personally
among men, and even the blue-nosed and
sore-eyed hoodlum pointed at me as /
passed and said, There goes Bill Nye.
the friend of the cyclone"
And what is my reward for all this?
Like a peaceful Ute, stealing up through
the sheltering ambush to saw open the
windpipe of a dear friend, comes the ring
tail peeler of the sky, scarcely moving the
green leaves as he steals along the valley
ON his hind legs. The air is like the
atmosphere of death. No sound is heard
except the dull thud of the woodlands AK
as it buries itself in the heart of a pine
tree that belong to some one else. The
sun has dropped behind a dull gray cloud
that is faced with pale green. Still lower
down the steel gray and purple clouds
come boiling over the tree tops. The tree
toad makes afew desultory remarks, katy
did says good evening, and the pre-
mature twilight has come. Up from the
Southwest comes a sullen mutter, n crash,
a roar, like twenty oceans in joint caucus,
the rush of falling trees, the crash of
giant hail stones, the thunder of falling
waters, and like the deadly charge of
heavens artillery it is over. That is a
cyclone-one of the adult variety when it
is feeling well. When you see one ofthat
kind sliding up into the sky, do not try
to twist its tail as it goes by. 1t takes u
strong, quick man to reach out
over the dashboard and twist the tail of
a cyclone. He must be strong in the
wrists, cool headed, and soon in move
ments.
The cyclone which visited Northern
Wisconsin on the 9th instant was about a
mile and a half wide, and lasted through
a period of time, 1 would say, such as
would be measured in p%ronouncing
Scat in an ordinary tone of voice. 1t
blew down three churches, sparing all the
saloons, jerked the school buildings
crooked, knocked the Postofice silly and
demolished a dozen stores and places of
business. 1t killed two of the most
promising young men and the purest
Christian woman in the village. Then it
went out into the forest where l was rid
ing along, attending to my own business,
tipped me over and broke my leg. Every
where it sought out the young and fair.
1t spared the old, the sinfnl and the
tough, but spent its fury on the ten
der, the good, the true and the beautiful.
Is it surprising that it jerkcd me galley
west? No, indeed, l am only surprised
that | am alive.

A Man Tries to Jump a Train at Otto
and is Seriously Injured.

Last night James Gillispie was run over
by a train at Otto and seriously injured
by falling under the cars. 1t is stated
Gillispie, who has been working as a sec
ton hand on the Union Pacific, was
slightly intoxicated and attempted to
catch a freight at Otto, about fourteen
miles above here.
He missed his step and fell under the
car which passed over his right leg crush
ing it in a horrible manner. DIR. Bark
well was telegraphed for and upon exam
nation decided to amputate the leg be-
tween the ankle and knee. The wounded
man was placed in the caboose and
brought to this city where he arrived at |
o'clock this morning.
Gillispie, it is said, is a miner by occu-
patton, and his home is at Carbonate,
Pa. He is at present in the caboose, the
doctor having telegraphed to Omaha for

A pesperado on Parade.

SAN Francisco, October Cat the
close of the Republican parade Saturday
night Thomas j. Crosby, First Lieutenant
in n of the uniformed companies, and
Eugene Mccarthy. a Sergeant, got into
an alteration. The latter was intoxicated.
Crosby spoke sharply to him about his
condition when Mccarthy drew a revolver
and fired. The bullet struck a small boy
in the knee, manning him for life. A
second shot missed; a third one struck an
other boy; the fourth missed and the fifth
struck Crosby fair in the heart. He
dropped dead and Mccarthy made a dash
and escaped.
