Bound to Win.

The miners will win in this
fight. Corporate wealth can mo-
crush intelligence.
The men Of the ocking Val
ley who have helped build schoo
houses and churches will not bt
supplanted by the lousy, lazy
wretches Speculation attempts t.
plant on the Monday Greek. W.
urge upon the intelligent miners
| the importance of keeping cool
keeping quiet, remaining peace
able. The fight is about over
Your homes and your work place.
will be preserved to you. Be pa
tient. Don't create a disturb
ance. Don't violate the law
Public sentiment is with you END
the Syndicate must come to
terms, or 1t will explode like a
baby's balloon.
If the Syndicate turns you cut
of a house, notify the Governor.
He will give you a tent. If you
are hungry, and the Syndicate
locks its stores, come to Logan,
and we will give you something
10 eat.
The monstrous Monopoly,
whose pestilen;ial breath has
blasted the valley, is dying of its
own poison.
1t will not be lerg until indi
vidual enterprise will again re-
rune control OF our miners, and
the Hooking valley under honest
effort and a fair adjustment of
he rights Of Labor and Capitol
again become the industrial gar
den spot of the continent. The
hindrance to peace and prosperi-
ty is an outbreak from violent
and foolish miners. Again We
insist that the miners be orderly,
qniet. law abiding, and soon all
will be well.

Private HopIey is heroic but
is rot warlike. He fences we'll

the snake stories from Snake

pines for the Sanctuary Of Eve

As Bill Taylor might rsptur-
Dusly and POLITICALLY put it
He who wept a kitten sick.

Over the steep hills Of Monday Creek

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
The Saloon Keepers of Keokuk Growing
Aggressive

The Saloon Keepers of Keokuk Growing
Aggressive
KEOKUK, sept. 1.-THE war on the saloons
assumed a new phase yesterday, in which
the liquor men took a bold and aggressive
stand. Yesterday the stock OF Brown &
Crocker of the Senate saloon was seized
upon a search warrant sworn out BY the
President of the Law and Order League.
This afternoon Brown Il Crocker secured q
writ of replevin from the Clerk of
the District Court, gave bond for
damages, and the Sheriff demanded
the liquors of the constable, who
gave them up. The President of the
Law and Order League then got out new
warrants and seized the liquors of Brown &
Crocker, at the Stanleigh House, and at the
Senate saloon Part of this seizure included
the replevined goods. The liquors are now
guarded by an officer. The attorneys of the
Law and Order League assert that liquors
can not be replevined, and that the Supreme
Court has so held. motion will be made
in the District Court to dissolve the in juno
ton and ask for the return of all the liquors.
Another motion will be fled before Justice
Lynch, who issued the search warrant seeK-
ing TO have Brown d Crocker, their attor-
Deys, and the law officers brought into court
for contempt. The grand jury is in session,
and further action by the temperance people,
they say, will be to secure indictments OF the
parties mentioned for conspiracy. The fight
between the liquor men and the Law and
Order League over the enforcement of the
prohibitOry liquor law is growing hotter, and
further developments are eagerly looked for.

and Mrs Herlskamp drove up Riverdale
Avenue, half way to the Morosine mansion
at Riverdale Avenue and Ludlow streets,
TO the liquor store of Henry Warner.
It is plain, unpainted two.story frame

room that was occupied by Schelling while
IN Mr.. Morasinis employ as cOaehman.
When the vehicle got opposite the old
quarters, Schelling alighted and hurried into
the beer shop, where he was warmly greeted
by the proprietor.
Mrs. Hulskamp continued on her journey
to her fathers house, where full forgiveness
was offered if she would consent to leave her
husband. She demanded that he be recog
nized, but Morosini swOre he should never
darken his doorway while he lived.
Then the wife said she would never leave
her husband, who was so dear TO her heart,
and bitterly reproached her father with
having her arrested. Mrs. Schelling later
rejoined her husband in his old room over
Warren's liduOr store, and there they were
when night came. 81 bet yer that Eyetalian

FREAKS OF A CYCLONE.

Clear Lake Completely Devastated-Some
of the Inhabitants Stripped of all Their
Worldly Possessions.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept 10.-A special dis
patch from Clear Lake, Wis, late yesterday
afternoon, says cyclone struck that town
and devastation was the result. The greater
part of the town is in ruins. and three lives
were lost. The scene after the storm passed
off was horrid in the extreme. Men, women
and children were running about In per-
feet frenzy of excitement and fear. Here
and there people could be seen coming out
of their cellars almost paralyzed with fear.
The strongest man was as a little child, for
no human power conld have resisted thefter-
rible force. One house of brick veneer was
taken from its foundation and turned
wholly round, while the bricks were peeled
from the wood as if sliced of. A large barn
was blown away, leaving the floor and
managers with the horses eating their supply
of hay. a little child was taken in the
arm of the tempest and landed in the
branches of a tree and but slightly hurt.
One large frame house was blown away
completely out OF sight, and not one par
ticle OF the house or furniture could be
found, though search for a mile was made In
the track of the storm. The family had for
tunstely taken refuge in the cellar. Many
families are left destitute, not vestage OF
their worldly possessions being left.

Mr.. Mulligan Publishes Some More Blaine
Letters, and Promises Another Install
ment - The Maine Majority Out for
Cleveland.
Special to the Sentinel.
Boston, Sept 1.-THE publication of ad-
diIional letters seriously compromising
Blaine has created a profound impression
here and will add much to the already
powerful anti-Blaine Republican movement.
The Journal has an editorial claiming that
this persecution" win help Blaine. 1t dares
not print the letters in full, but gives one
garbled extract of the whole matter. The
Traveller says ii is a desperate move to keep
the peoples attention from the tariff. Mr..
James Mulligan was seen to-day. He said:
"Let them chew on that awhile, aud will
then give them another Dose" Mr.. Mulligan
has been approached by Republicans who
offered him a large sum to suppress the
evidence he has of Blaine's rascality. He
would never have made these fresh ones
public had not the Blaine papers impugned
his honesty and abused him outrageously
The Post has the official returns from
Maine, with only ten small towns missing,
and the Republican majority is q trile below
$4,000. The towns to hear from are all
Democratic. and will reduce the majority to
about II, 800
Rev. DR.. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven,
Conn, having been referred to by the Pal
ladium of that city as misguided man, who
was on the point OF indorsing Cleveland,
became provoked and is out in strong
letter saying that be shall vote for Cleveland
and urge all of his friends to do the same.

THE DEED OF A FIEND.

Oliver Bateman Makes n FUN Confession
of the Killing of the Mclaughlin Girls.
SAVANNAH, Mo-, Sept. 9-0liver Bateman,
in his confession as to the killing of the
young Mclaughlin girls, says he was at
home when the girls went there. He saw
them go into: the woods to pick hazelnuts,
and followed them within fifteen minutes
afterward. They were near the edge of a
cornfield when he came up with them.
While talking with them he saw Henry
KEappenberger pass. He then induced the
children to 90 further into the cornfield
and while the eldest was walking in front OF
him he shot her with twenty-five cslibre
ball, and when she turned around he shot
her with a thirty-two calibre ball, killing
her instantly. The smallest girl started to
run, when he followed and caught her. She
begged so hard for him to let her go that he
says ne came very near allowing her to do
so. He did let her 60, but knowing that she
would tell, hefollowed and caught her again,
threw her down and cut her throat. 1t was
fifteen or twenty minutes after Knappen-
berger passed before he shot the eldest girl.
After killing the youngest girl he went back
to his first victim ana outraged her person,
and then mutilated her person to create the
impression that il was the deed of a crazy
man. He relates that the eldest said moth
ing after he shot her, and that he held his
hand over the mouth of the youngest to pre-
vent her cries being heard. He says after all
these horrible occurrences he went to the
creek washed his hands, threw his knife in
the stream and went home. When the
father of the girls came to his house inquir-
ing for them, he wanted TO 60 and help in
the search for them, but his relatives would
not allow him, as they thought he was i'll.
The fend declares he was induced to con-
fess owing to the circumstant1al manner
in which Henry Knappenberger had ac-
cused him of the crime.
