RUSSIA has closed the port Of Batol

RUSSIA has closed the port of Batoum
on the Black sea, which, under the
Berlin treaty, she agreed to leave open.
Other powers that were parties to the
treaty will doubtless inquire the where
fores of this violation, and that raises
another war cloud on the European hor-
izen. With a lingo cabinet in Eng
land and continued aggressions ON the
part Of the Gar a cali to arms is not
improbable.

OUR correspondent from Legate, in
Stewart county, whose communication

ocratic convention declares against the

for Governor will be elected. Like tes-

will be wise to consider it.

Among the measures that viii not

IT is no way necessary that the State
convention make any declaration on
the question Of public education, but if
it does it can not afford to pronounce
in favor OF illiteracy. If it condemns
national aid it must favor an increased
State and county tax. Let the polite
ians Judge of the wisdom and expe-
uienoy of the two alternatives.

A RAIL HORROR,

Wreck. OF a Train ON the milwaukee,
| System snd a DOxen People Roasted
to Death.
Milwaukee, Dot, 28.-The Evening
W%isconein's special from Portage says
Last night soon after midnight the west
bound limited express was dltched at
East Rio siding, q small station about
thirteen miles east OF this city, on the
main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad. There are two
side tracks at the place and at tie time
the train was due there last night both
! were occupied by freights, one by q
wilG train and the other by train IL,
Conductor FL. p. Hankey's OF this city,
whi3h had just pulled In from the west
to allow the limited to pass. No. ii was
very long and the conductor was at the
head of the train, relying on o brakeman
to attend the switch. One report says
the rear brakeman, whose business it
wat to close the switch after the train,
for some reason neglected altogether to
do SO. The other and more probable
story is that he started back to close the
switch, but before he could reach 1t the
limited, which does not stop at any
except large places, came tearing down
the grade at fifty miles an hour and left
the rails at the open switch. The siding
is in a cut where n read
curves 80 that g switch ligh. cannot be
seen from the east until the train is
within o few rods, 30 the engineer of
the limited could not see the switch
light turned wrong until too late to stop.
The engine left the track, ran a short
distance and brought up against the
side OF the out, toppling over. The
baggage car and two regular coaches
followed, while the four sleepers kept
the rails. The engine and cars that
went off were badly smashed and took
fire from stoves. Engineer Little and
Fireman Egan were badly bruised and
scrided and the baggageman had a leg
broken. All the passengers in the Sleep
ers got out uninjured except being
slightly bruised, but in one Gay coach
thirteen we're pinned and literally
burned to death Many others were
injured Thy severe shaking up. The
names OF the victims are not yet known
here. The whole train with the excep-
ton OF u sleeper was burned up.

Louis Brinker and Emil Waltersdrof, of

The names and residences Of the others
cannot be learned. The burning of the
baggage obliterates the only clew to the
identity OF the occupants of the burned
car and it may never be known to a GER
tainty how many persisted in the wreck.
From the most reliable accounts OBJ

THE MISSING WITNESS,
Peters Body supposed to have beer
Found near Council Bluffs.

Peters Body Supposed to have been
Found nea Council Bluffs.
Omaha Bee: Coroner Fanl still sticks
TO the belief that the body of the man
found near Crescent was that of Peters,
the missing witness to the Haddock |
murder. He has watched the facts, so
far as developed, and is satisfied that
three men started from Sioux City |
down the river and that only two arrived |
at Omaha. The third one, he thinks,
was Peters, and that he was put out of
the way. The place where the body
was found can easily be reached by o
boat from the river, and, buried in the
willows, there was little chance of dis
covery. de is waiting impatiently for
something frem Sioux City, he having
sent there the description of the body
and the clothing. He has other points
which to his mind confirm the theory.
One is that, although the papers have as
usual published accounts of the finding
of the body, there have been no inaui.
ries on the part of relatives. Generally
he receives some inquiry at once and in
almost every case the remains are lden-
tilted. He has made extended inquiry
and can find no trace OF any other man
in that part OF the country being missed.
Coroner Faults faith in the theory that
it was Peters who was murdered and
placed there grows daily.
Council Bluffs special: The body of
the unknown" who was buried in the
Potter field here three weeks ago., was
not fully identified to-day as the re.
mains OF Henry Peters, the missing
driver of the Sioux City brewery wagon,
whom A%rensdorf is believed to have
murdered. Sheriff Mcdonald did not
arrive here as expected. Portions of
the clothes have been examined by those
who knew Henry and they assert
positively that they were worn by the
missing driver. The body was found in
the Boyer river, nine miles northwest of
here. 1t was lying in the willows in q
swamp about 200 yards from the point
where the Boyer flows into the Missouri
river. 1t could not be deposited there
otherwise than by persons in q skif.
The skiF could not have other wise
reached the point except via the
Missouri. The tune the body had lain
there, the age, size, the clothes and
other things correspond exactly WITH
what is known OF Henry Peters. and If
this body can be that of Henry Peters it
will add one more murder to the arch
conspirato,s who murdered the Rev.
George @. Haddoek.

The Van Wyck San,Dai~n

Washington special: Politicians
arriving here from all parts of the coun,
try report much interest centered in
the campaign being waged by Senator
Van Wyck of Nebraska. The idea of
his opponents making a special protest
against his appeal to the people to
dominate q senator at the polls next
month is the strangest thing,
they say, in political annals.
The senators of both parties
who have been to Washington
during the past month, and
those here now who have given express
sion, say the mere fact that Senator Van
! Wyck is willing and anxious to let the
people instruct the legislature by popu-
lar vote as to who his successor shall
be ought to give HIM strength with the
people. Since Senator Van Wyck has
led this wal on m~ononolists in The sena.s
a good deal of interest is taken through
the country in his return, and curiosity
is entertained as to the strength the
monopolists will WELD against him.

No sooner had the train started than
the strangers produced playing

gentleman declined. The ruf1ians set
upon him, and were about to thrust him
out on the railway track when the guard

DRAINING a CELLAR.
An Inexpensive Method OF Securing aDry
Cellar Bottom.

~ AMo1Ponslve MetnOQ OF securing 0OTy
Cellar Bottom.
Occasionally people are obliged to live
over wet cellars, for the reason than
there is no fall for drain, or the ex-
pense seems too great, or the landlord
won't drain. We were once thus stu
ated. Every freshet, or rain that came,
the cellar would be foot or more deep
with water, which had to be bailed up
and carried ont by hand. Disliking to
move, as our own house was nearly
completed. we finally hit on the follow
ing plan, which worked to q charm: In
the lowest corner, or where the water
came in most, we sunk an old rain
barrel, perhaps foot below the level of
the cellar bottom, slanting away the
earth pretty well about the top of the
barrel; then, commencing at the OPP
posite corner of the cellar, with.a hoe,
we followed out drain close to the
cellar wall, making it slightly deeper,
rs we proceeded, so as to give it the
proper fall into the barrel We did the
other two sides of the cellar in the same
way. and henceforth the water coming
in at the sides of the cellar followed the
drain into the barrel, thus giving dry
cellar bottom. much more wholesome
to live over. The water was rs clear as
crystal, and was used for washing veg.
etables, dishes, etc.-Cor. Country Gen
