EVIDENCE OF A STRUGGLE
One Mans Throat Cot With a
Razor.

OMAHA, November 29.--Editcr Smith,
oftAe Ainsworth (Neb. News arrived here
Yesterday. bringing with him interesting
specimens of petr6ed prairie dogs, snakes
and ,wls, to be added to the Nebraska ex'
hipit at New Orleans The petrifactions
have the appearanceo Of being made OF heavy
yellowish clay, but arc undeniablY genuine.
The country about Ainsworth has
long been noted for curious fossils
and rstritactions It borders on the
bad lands, Of Dakota, and while-not 80
much Of desert, has many OF the same
features. Mr.. Smith s story about the find
ing of his specimens reads like a fairy tale
He SAYS that some weeks ago party OF
hunters struck hitherto unexplored' canyon
near Plaa Creek, about twelve miles north
west of Ainsworth AS they rode, into it
they saw prairie dog village, and at the
mouth st each of the mounds was onsos the
little animals sitting on its launches with
DAVIS folded across the bseast, in perfectly
natural manner Contrary to theirusual
custom, the dogs did not dive into their
houses At the approach of,the strange visit
ors. Ia ahe great surprise Of the latter they
remained motionless. Investigation showed
that eveYr one of them was stone dead
Tae whole village of dogs had been killed at
the same moment by some unknow9 power,
evidently ages ago, and then petrihed
Stranger, still, the hunters found scattered
among the dogs, and iD,the same condition,
the ow,s and snakes which are known to
share their homes. We're it not for speci-
mems h,ought by Mr.. Smith, and the :act that
he is known to be a reliable man. the story
would be put down as, q MunChsusen-like
lie. There are many theories as to the en-
tire destruction of plant and animal life in
the Dakota bad laads." The most COM
monty accepted is that Of volCssie action
the oTerAowing ofthe country with molten
lava from subterranean fires. The effect OF
this was also probably felt as far east as
Ainsvorth. Wkather the death and subse-
ouont turning TO stone of the prairie dog
village can be- traced to. she same cause
win make an interesting study for scien-
tiSta

PHILOSOPHY IN DEFEAT.

How Logan Endures His Misfortune-Tbe
Conduct of His Bad Boy n Greater Blow
Than the Loss of the Vice Presidency.
New YORK, November 20, Senator John
A. Logan, in the corridor of the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel this morning, said: 81 have
refused positively to talk with newspaper
men for publication since the election was
decided. am no longer candidate and
my words are not as interesting to the
country as they were. / am Republican
and above all else an American citizen.
What the majority DEGREES, l submit to"
Senator Logan looks much older than he
did when he visited this city before the Chi
cago Convention. His dark complexion
has a sallow hue, and the soldiery form
shows disposition to stoop. He was fol
lowed by q party of well-known Republi'
cans wherever he went while his rooms
were constantly beseiged by callers.
A member OF the late National Commit
tee said: "Gen. Logan bears his defeat
with remarkable philosophy. He has
shown the golden side of his character in
conspicuous degree. He has been reserved
in his comments on the result Of the cleo
tion, even to intimate friends. think that
the disappointment he experienced from the
conduct Of his son at West Point has weigh
ed more heavily upon his mind than defeat
as candidate for the Vice Presidency"

A Scene in a House Of Death at Omaha
Desperate Struggle.
OMAHA, NgB., November 29.-Yesterday
afternoon Annie Pickard died in hovel on
Ninth street. The undertakers prepared
the body for burial and left it in bed pending
the wake tonight AS the room was small
and close the store was taken out in order
to keep the temperature down. This
afternoon the husband Of the de-
ceased came home drunk and in
sisted on the stove being replaced, de-
claring that it was shame to freeze
the corpse After considerable argument
Pickard subsidized and left the house, Later
in the evening Flora Benson, friend Of
the dead woman, and two. soldiers volun-
teered to act as watchers. They started in
By getting drunk and pulling the corpse out
of bed. Then the soldiers quarreled as to
who should dress it. In the row one OF
them was horribly cut about the face and
neck with razor. The noise attracted
the police, who arrested the rioters and
Jailed them. Whe., the officers broke down
the door the soldiers we're fighting like crazy
men, the Benson woman lay on the bed
shouting and cursing, and the corpse was
crowded into corner and nearly naked.
Ihe room was in the widest confusion and
gave evidence of terrible struggle having
taken place.

Uunatural Acts OF Brutal Husband and
TORONTO, November 29.-0ne of the
most unnatural acts on the part of . hus
band and parent ever recorded, has occur
red at Gannaque. Recently Mrs.
Quiuolle, of this city, gave birth to child,
and her husband, with whom she had lived
happily many years, employed Arsmsntha
Cook, a girl of 20, from the lying-in hospital,
as nurse.
The child died and was buried here.
QuinolIe had become infatuated with the
nurse, who was very comely, and persisted
in keeping her in the family. he removed
to Gannaque to avoid the censure of his ac'
quaintances. His wife refused to speak to
hum till the girl was sent away.
In his rage at this Quinolle came to
Toronto IN the night exhumed the child,
cut of one of the hands and returning,
threw it on the table before the mother.
Mrs Quinolle was thrown into spssms
and was helped to her room, where she was
confined for days before recovering. Quinolle
called for needles and thread, seWed up the
cuts on the hand, also sewed linen over the
stump and ate his dinner with it lying on
the table before him. As soon as Mrs.
Quinolle recovered she discovered that the
nurse girl was about to become q mother,
and abandoned the house, whereupon Qui-
nolle and the girl fled to the States.
They are supposed to be in Boston. Mrs.
Quinolle told her story here yesterday and
it was confirmed by the cemetery authori-
ties, who found the body Of the child mutt
lated as described.

Kemple and Eli on Wednesday Night.

The humorous lecture Of Colonel Jake
Kemple on ELI and How he Got There, or
the Children Of Democracy in the Promised
Land" will be one of the amusing events OF
the week, None who knows the Colonel
land everybody does) doubts his ability to
extract bushel of fun from his subject. He
is always original in his wit humor and
manner of expression. His prominent
identity in the past political campaign gave
him an experience and wide range for his
lively imagination.
For several years past the colonel when
ever called upon has always cheerfully re-
sponded with his time and talent in aid OF
worthy charity, and now that he is about to
leave for a lecture tour of the west it is
hoped his friends will make proper recog-
nition of his merits and popularity BY giving
him a rousing audience on Wednesday
night.
