May Whitesides, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. B. Whitesides, formerly Of
Rainey, Penn, age Is years months
13 days.
After an illness of two weeks Miss
Lula Gas we know herr was called
Home. Though the call was sudden
it did not find her unprepared for her
faith in Jesus, as her Savior, was strong
and enabled her to confess her willing
ness and readiness to go at His sum-
mons. She was an interesting girl,
just entering into womanhood, with
many prospects and fond desires of
doing good and serving her Master.
Her parents looked to her for counsel
and assistance, hoping she would be a
great help to them in their declining
years. One other child has preceded
her causing the parents to feel more
acutely the force of this blow.
Miss Lula came here with her par
ents in the Fall of 1885. She had Just
began to be known by and to know
the people. She was appreciated by
all who knew her as an earnest and
devoted servant OF the Lord Jesus
Christ. Can we wonder that this
should be so, when at the early age OF
twelve years, she gave her heart to
Christ?
She served Him four years and has
gone to her reward. Her body lies in
our Cemetery quietly sleeping, await
ing the Arachagels trumpet to ascend
purified and meet for the reception Of
her soul and be forever with the Lord.

Two More Rnrrel Crnnks.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. S-The turbulent
waters OF the Niagara whirlpool rapids
were again navigated in casket to-day,
the perilous feat being successfully
accomplished by two men. The daring
voyagers were William Potts and George
Hazlitt, two coopefs, who are employed
IN the same shop with Graham, who
made the initial trip three weeks ago.
The barrel-boat was ten feet long,
conical in form, built of the best locust
slaves and was supplied with keel,
rudder, screw wheel and turret with
glass-covered peepholes About three
hundred pounds of sand ballast kept it
right side up most of the time. The two
men lay back to back while passing the
more turbulent waters clinging to
handles made fast to the sides of the
casket. Each man likewise kept on his
own side of the cask by means of
canvas sling made faht=to staples
Che start was made from the Maid of
the MIST landing on the Canada side at
4:25 p M a rowboat towed the cask to
point just above the cantiteier bridge
where 1t was turned adrift in mid
stream. The craft was submerged about
half the Tune While passing through the
rapids, but while circumscribing the
outer circle of the whirlpool its occu-
pants thrust their heads through the
opening and Potts calmly smoked y
cigar. a successful landing was made
at Queenstown, on the Canada side, five
miles from the starting place. The
feat was witnessed by no less than 15, 600

Beginning OF the Beifast lsio,s.

Belfast, August IA riot took place
this morning between orangemen
employed in the Queens island ship
yard and Catholic navies employed by
the harbor commissioners. The fight
ing was very severe for time, and q
number OF men on both sides were SO
badly injured that they had to be re.
moved to the hospital.
Tonight the conflicts were resumed
The fighting was the most desperate
that has taken place during the recent
troubles. The mob was infuriated and
fought with savage energy. Fifty per.
sons were injured, some of them, it is
thought, fatally. Terrible struggles
occurred on the ShaLkhill road. The
police quartered in McKenna's tavern,
on the old lodge road, were attacked
by mob with stones and
revolyers and were y COM
PEELED to fire from the windows of the
beleagured house. During this attack
eighteen persons we're injured and were
subsequently taken to the hospitals. a

They are here in the interest of the
Milwaukee road and are surveying a
line from Madison. The right of way
agent made contract with the town to
furnish the right of way and depot

this is the fuel survey. Work will be-
gin at once in grading the sloughs, and
the entire road from Madison to Tower

In talking with the gentleman who
has charge Of the surveying party it was
learned that about three weeks ago the
prospect of obtaining the right of way
ground Madison on satisfactory terms
was 80 poor that the intention OF the

posed line, but the people in that sec

There is no indication that the Mexi-
can authorities are suffering from in.
timidation through the bluster of the
American press over the Cutting affair.
On Saturday evening last the Mexican
court proceeded to pass sentence upon
Mr.. Cutting and its Judgment was that
he suffer imprisonment for one year ut
hard labor and pay fine of 5000. one
hundred days imprisonment to be added
IN case he fails to pay the fine. The
much talked of pardon which was to
follow sentence was not produced and
the condemned criminal was duly re.
manded to Jail, there to await the COM
pletion OF preparations for his transfer
to Chihuahua, where the sentence is to
be carried into effect. Here is clean
cut case for the diplomatic branch of
the American government to act upon.
Secretary Bsyard announces that the
act is one which admits of no other re-
paratiop than the unconditional re-
lease of MIR. Cutting. Instsad
of releasing him, the Mexican
government immures him III one
of its bastiles. The legitimate conse-
quence of course is war, or rapid
retreat from its position by the govern
ment OF Mexico. There is great exotic
ment on either side of the border line
between the two countries and COM
panies of minute men were organized on
the American side. There was before
the court which sentenced Cutting
proposition to censure the American
consul for his participation in the affair
and this proposition was referred to the
supreme court of Ohinhuahua, which
will take definite action thereon.

Congress has enacted law which
makes compulsory IN the public schools
OF the territories the study of the nature
and effect of alcoholic drinks and mar.
cotics upon the human system. The
enactment ls brief and to the point
and we give it entire, as follows;
Sec. i. That the nature of alcoholic
drinks and narcotics and special lnstruc-
tion as to their effects upon the human
system, in connection with the several
divisions OF the subject of phyeIoloyy
and hygiene, shall be included in the
branches of study taught in the common
or public schools, and the military and
naval schools, and shall be stadied and
taught as thoroughly and in the same
manner as other like required branches
are in said schools, by use of text books
in the hands of pupils where other
branches are thus studied in said schools
and by all pupils in all said schools
throughout the territories, in the mill
tary and naval academies of the United
States.
Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty OF
the proper officers in control of any
school described III the foregoing section
| to enforce the provisions of this act; and
any such officer, school director, com-
mittee. superintendent or teacher who
shall refuse or neglect to comply with
the requirements of this act, or shall
neglect or fail to make proper provisions
| for the instruction required and in the
manner specified by the first section of
this act, for all pupils in each and every
| school under his jurisdiction, shall
be removed from office, and the vacancy
| filled as in other cases.
| Sec. 3. That no certificate shall be
granted to any person to teach in the
public schools of the district OF Colum-
| bia or territories after the first day of
January, ammo Domino eighteen hun
dred and eighty-eIght, who has not
passed satisfactory examination in
physiology and hygiene, with special
reference to the nature and effects OF
alcoholic drinks and other narcotics
| upon the human system.
Sec. 4, That this act shall take effect
upon it's passage.
1 1t will be seen that the law is manda
tory aud is now in effect. 1t applies to
all the public schools of Dakota, as vel
as of the other territories. Some prep
aration in the way of the selection
OF text books and the assignment OF tn,
work to the teachers and the teachers tt
the work is necessary. but it must u

Attempted suicide at sioux city.

Sioux City, Ia, August 7. About 2
O'Clock this afternoon this city was
thrown into another state OF excitement
by the announcement that man had
committed suicide. The particulars are
as follows: j. B. CLARK and Walter
Runyan of Syracuse, Neb., arrived here
to-day noon, having made arrangements
to engage IN the insurance business.
They walked about town for while and
then stopped of barber shop. Runyad
asked when he could get shave and
WAS told that he could have to wait a
few minutes. He hesitsted O little
while and then stepped to one OF the
pastel cases, picked up razor and
commenced slashing at his own throat,
infiictingg deep deep sad ugly wounds extend.
ing from ear to ear. When Runyan
though he had accomplished his purpose
and was sinking from the loss OF blood
he reached in his pocket, drew out some
letters and handed them to tho barber.
The physician found that no arteries
had been severed, and while the gsshes
we're being sewed up Runyan tried to
frse himself, and said he wanted to die.
Mr.. Clark says that Runyan is teyper.
ate young man and well connected.
Runyan seemed little despondent
while coming to the city, but said moth
ing, and no good reason can now be
given for the ace. 1t is said however,
that sister at Grand Island had given
him some trouble.
