1T looks very much as II our Legisla-
ture will have to face the question OF

titions have been presented asking the
submission of an amendment to the vote
of the people and the friends OF temper

We think our Legislators should at least
give ms a chance to vote on the question.

EVERY man who has spark Of man
illness or bravery in his breast cannot
but feel horror and disgust at the meth
DDS of the "dynamiters, who to obtain
revenge against a government deliber-
ately yet with mean cowardice destroy
valuable and beautiful property with
out regard to the sacrifice of innocent
lives. The men who deposit deadly ex-
plosives in a building and then sneak
out, leaving innocent victims behind,
are not deserving Of the smallest degree
of forbearance or pity, and If the En-
glish government needs the assistance
of the United States to catch aud pun
ish the dastards, we should freely give
such assistance. All civilization should
array itself against them.

We do hope that our legislators will
take some wise and liberal action in re-
gard to the Normal Schools of this State.
Under anything like favorable circum-
stances these schools are Of great bene-
fit to our people individually and col
lectively, and i'm a number of different
ways. If they are kept up our youth
can be educated in them in many cases
when they would not be able to receive
educations in any other way, and as our
free school system is being enlarged and
improved, the graduates are prepared
to occupy the positions necessary to
such Improvement. Our Legislature
should make appropriations that will
insure the support of the schools for
several years ahead. There ia nothing
more urgent or more wise calling for
money, and we trust that our delegates
from this county will do their best in
this good cause.

ATRAuN RUN Bx a LUNATiC.
He takes Possession Of "a Car and ktiis
ass Sbf}icer


:. an Officcr.
Dispatches received at Chicago, tell
how a madman was running train on
the Wabash, st. Louis d Pacific Rail
road to suit himself, and asked for
policemen to be on hand to capture
him. Accordingly when No 6 ap.
peared in sight the police separating so
as to form two squads, awaited her ar
rival on either side of the tract. As
the train approached the whistle
sounded number OF warning notes in
quick succession, aud people hanging
half way out of the car windows were
seen to gesticulate wildly to the crowd.
Before the train had come to stand.
still dozen passengers jumped to the
ground and fed, looking back, with
blanched faces. Officer Barrett was
the first to observe the lunatic. Bar
rett was standing near the end OF the
smoking car. and the madman, with
A LEvELED REVOLVER.
glared at him from the front platform
of the chair car, the length of one car
distant. Barrett turned half round and
stopped instantly. but two late, for .
ball from the lunatic's revolver struck
him IN the side, and in five minutes he
was dead. One look at the maniac was
enough to satisfy any one that while
his amunition lasted he would not be
taken alive. Seeing this, the officers,
after removing their wounded comrade,
began fusiilade through the widows
of the smoking car, whore the madman
had taken refuge. After minute or
two he plunged out upou the platform,
fred couple Of shots lrto the crowd,
leapsd from the train aud dashed down
Fourth avenue. Officer Laughlin
started in hot pursuit. and at him the
iuuatic fired the last shot in his weapon.
but without effect.
Tux MANIAC STOPPED
there snd, waited Laughlin's coming
with cleaning eyes and frothipg mouth.
They clinched, when the officer tripped
his antagonist and they both fell, the"
madmaa beating Laughlin numerically
on the head with his revolver. The
officer wae in citizens clothes, and was
sst sesss1pi terribly pounded by an
sxcif csaksdsmss, who mistook Che
ofsceSi ,ltqatic. The rest Of the,
squad arrived shortly and the maniac
was secured. He was, first taken to
cell and thence to a hospital to have
his wopnde dressed. When he realized
thatsfutth6r fesistAncs was useless. the
prisoner became calm. and stated quite
nationally, that his name was Louis
Reaume; that he was 33 years old, and
waslgping TO bis home in Detroit from
Denver The train men Of No. 6 tell a
thrilling story OF the trip from Kansas
City. When the man boarded the train
at that place he remarked that people
were after him to lynch him, and that
il left alone he would molest no one.
At FL Paso. ILL.,, he became violent,
and with revolver in hand ordered the
train men to cease making some changes
in the makeup Of the train. The pas
sengers all left the the chair car, which
the madman made his headquarters,
and were locked into the others. No
one dared approach the lunatic, and
after he had exchanged several shots
with the City Marshal he ordered the
train to proceed, aud from there to
Chicago his will was the only law that
was obeyed.
