that the usually serene town of Mulvane is
stirred up to its very deplhs over mysteri-

that some time ago couple of travelling doc
tors visited the town and a young girl named
Miss Wilson had them to pull some teeth for
her They administered chlorofcrm, did
their work and left. The next day the girls
! gums bled so as to alarm her parents and DR..
Shelley, "a highly respectable gentleman and
reputable physician was called. 1t appears
that in dealing with her, he too administered
chloroform and everything went allrlght un-
til the girl was found to be enciente and even
then there was but little said until a few
days ago whena child was born.
The girl swears she has had no criminal
intimacy with any man to her knowledge
Dr. Shelly is charged with having ruined her
while she was under the influence of chloro-
form The parties all belong to the church
and Miss Wilson has always borne an excel
lent reputation. 1t is claimed also that the
young lady was engaged to be married TO a
young man who is making home in a west
ern town and that DIR. Shelley advised her to
lay the kid to her affianced, but she positive
ly declared she would rather die first
The gentleman said the church had taken
the matter. in hand and viii hold an investi-

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Cleveland Ex- Councilman Killed on the
Valley Railway.

A Cleveland Ex-COuncIlman Killed on the
Valley Railway.
AKRON, Aug. ia most sad accident
occurred yesterday on the Valley rail-
road train, on board of which were the
returning delegates to the Akron con-
vention. By 1t ex.Councilman Thomas
Reed, of the Twentieth ward, Cleveland,
lost his life. The train left Akron a few
moments past 5 o'clock, and was near
Peninsula when Mr.. Reed, who was
talking with some fellow delegates, left
the car and went to the platform. Grasp
ing the hand rails be hung out, looking
at the long bridge over which the train
was about to pass. The first span, In
which the braces are beneath the plat.
form, was passed, and Mr.. Reed, not see-
ing that the braces on the next span
we're above the rails, still hung out
from the car. His head came In contact
with brace, and he was knocked to the
ground. Mr.. William Eggers, who was
on the platform with the unfortunate
man, ran into the coach and pulled the
bell rope. The train was running at a
high rate of speed, and a quarter of q
mile was passed over before the train
was brought to stand still. The train
was backed down to the scene of the sc-
cident, where Mr.. Reed was found lying
between the rails and the bridge tim
bers. An examination showed that life
was extiuct and that death had been
instantaneous. The bridge timbers
had struck him over the left temple,
crushing the skull. The body was
placed In the baggage car and brought
to Cleveland.

Ex SOLICITOR GENERAL GooDE has

pOintment, which has been made with

kElEER AND KENNEDY.

A great deal Of satisfaction is ex.
pressed in newspapers Of both political
parties at the withdrawal of E1 Speaker
KeifeT fiom the contest for the Repub.
lican nomination in the Eighth Con.
gressional District Of Ohio. OF cOurse,
Keifer did not withdraw until he found
he could not be nominated. The defeat
of Keifer Is dOubiy humilisting to him
because his successful opponent, Lieu
tenant-GOvernOr Kennedy, has less
standing even Rs politician than he
has. Kennedy has been rOarii g through
a dozen campaigns with one 5lusrering
speech which the politicians know by
heart. He demonstrated the fact that
he was an utterly INSCRIPTIONS pOlitio
Ian In the revolutionary proceedings by
which the State Senate was grabbed
from the Democrats last winter. He
could not even lay claim to originality
in any of the rsscality which was prsc-
ticed, but was the patient instrument Of
those who schemed, and unhesitstlngly
violated his oath nf Office at their COM
msnd. Indeed, Kennedy is 80 raDkly
unfit for Congress in any respect that
there Is threatened movement to beat
him with an independent candidate
though there Is Republican majority
of about 1000 In the distTict.-[New

BLOW YOUR NOSE.
Disgus,ing habit.

AHFom inc NnlCaBO herhll.)
Perhaps the most disgusting and filthy
habit to which Americans are addict
cd, is the dirty Indifference to the use Of
the handkerchief. and the substitution Of
the mouth for the Offices of the nose.
There is no sight so nauseatlng, revolving
and sickening nothing so suggestive Of
putrescence as this public relief of the
nose and mouth. 1t is seen on the street,
even in the church and theatre, and most
Extensively In a crowded car and in the
presence of ladies, where there Is no
escape from its unsiRhtliness, except to
leave the car, or kill the perpetrator of
such nastiness. Any one who can persist
in the habit, after seeing another in tho
performance of an act so disgusting,
must have either an iron-clad stomach or
no stomach at all, or is too mean to buy
handkerchief, or too ignorant to know
its use. The physiological place of the
nose Is highly important. Its relation
to and sympathy with some of the most
dangerous maladies which affiict man.
kind, are clearly understood. In catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis, all diseases of the bron-
chi and lungs and disordered stOmachs, IL
is sympathetically and deeply affected. BY
the disuse of the handkerchief, the mu-
cous accumulations from the diseased
organs drip into the lungs and stomach;
hence the use OF the handkerchief is not
only a duty we owe to decency but to
health. The nose being always sensitive
to these irritations and inflammations Of
the throat and bronchial tubes, needs at
tention and nature intended 1t as a dis
charge pipe. There is no doubt that by
this abuse Of the fuActions, and by this
accumulation OF these nauseous secretions,
incipient consumption Is hastened and the
throat and bronchial maladies greatly ags
gravated. The proprietors Of Duffy's pure
malt whiskey, an article which has a
reputation all over the country as being
the most effective element in the cure Of
consumption and kindred troubles, say
that Of the thousand persons with whom
their Medical Department is in constant
correspondence on this one subject alone,
fully one-half say their troubles are di-
rectly traceable to neglect of the proper
functions of the nose. We have refrained
for long time making allusion to thing
so distateful, but 10 seems to be growing
vice and must be suppressed, If it takes a
law to do 1t. Nuisances can be abated by
law, and who knows how much contagion
may lurk in these filthy emissions.

THE suicide of William Gray, dsfanlt-
ing treasurer of the Atlantic and Indian
Orchard Mills, was the tragic ending of
life which not long ago seemed to have
gained the ripened fruits of success. H.
WAS graduate Of Harvard, man Of
refined tastes, of liberal views, and pos
sessed that personal magnetism which
drew to him many warm and loyal
friends He had wife and children,
and his habits seemed above repToach.
1t wouId seem ss though this lesson and
20 many like it Of recent occurrence
should serve to check the feverish desire
for speculation which has become
almost national disease. Political
ambitions, financial schemes, domestic
happiness, life itself, may be wrecked
by speculsting In countless cases, and
still the scramble for sudden wealth in
the community at large is as strong and
destructive as ever.

COMMISSIONER Of Internal Revenu
Miller says Of the OleOmargarine bill
that 1t will not be the means of a greR
amount of revenue except from the
manufacturers. He believes that 1t will
be handled In the large cities by agents
of the manufacturers and will not BE-
made a general commodity In the small
retail stores. As retailers will have to
pay license Of $48 per snnum this
would naturally increase the price of
the article. The collection of revenue
derived from the manufacture and sale
of oleOmargsrlne will necessitate little
if any changes In the Revenue Depart.
ment for collection. The Commissioner
will establish separate and distinct
digisiOn to keep the accounts Of this
class of revenue, which will be very sim.
ple-in fact, more so than that In keep
ing the accounts Of the tobacco tax.

Mr.. Adee, who succeeds the venerable
William Hunter (deceased) as Assistant
Secretary of State. Is old In the Depart
1ment of State, although he Is not yet
Sf0rty.fOur years of age. OF these, six
4teen have been spent In the service of
the department at home and abroad,
and he Is as thoroughly Versed In the
business Of diplomacy as any person
NOW in the Government employ. In pol.
Atice he is q Republican.
Alvey A. Adee was born In Astoria,
New York, November 9Th, 1842. He re-
sceived his education from private tu-
tors at home and abroad. He stud
Iied chemistry, civil engineering, etc.,
land entered his uncle's office for the
purpose Of engaging In the latter pro.
fession; but while 80 employed he took
"a trip over to Spain In 1859, intending
to remain but short time. While
there, Secretary Fish appointed him
Secretary of Legation at Madrid, Sep
tember 8, 1870. He held this position
until July, 1877, and during the inter-
val was Charge d'Aff3ires at various
stimes. On the 9th of July, 1877, he was
transferred from Madrid to the State
department at Washington, and ap-
pointed to clerkship with the same
salary as he had received abroad. On
June H. 1878, he was promoted to be
Chief Of the Diplomatic Bureau: July
18, 1873, he was appointed Third Assist
ant Secretary of State; and on July 80
President Cleveland nominated him
to the Senate as Second Assistant
Secretary of State. During his official
career of nearly sixteen years not o sin
gle word of complaint has ever BEEN
heard against him, either from Demo-
.4erats or Republicans, very remarkable
thing In official life. He Is hard stu

General BOulanger, the French Minis
ter OF War, who challenged Baron Lsre-
lnty to duel IN consequence of an in
suit during the debate in the Senate on
the expulsion of the Due d'Anmale, has
attained distinction and prominence
through the success Of his reorganization
OF the French military system,
The quarrel occurred In the Senate,
about the erssing of the names of the
Ffench Princes from the Army, which
was afterwards done by large majority.
Recently he ordered $4,000 infantry to
De armed with repeating rifles, much to
the anger OF Germany. He has been the
chief mover in the campaign against
the princes. During the recent debates
he urged extending the expulsion to all
the princes, and especially to the Duo de
Chartres, whom he accused of attempt
ing to institute an 0rlesnist propaganda
In the army" General BOulanger is an
intensely Democratic Minister of War,
bitterly enraged at any thing that
smacks at royalty, and has shown that
he will not be trifled with. In doing
what he does, however, he is chiefly the
instrument OF M. Clemenceau, whose
cousin he is, and by whose influence he
was bOIsted into his present position.
In carry ng OUT the new army service
system General BouIanger is inflexibIy
Onerous, He has framed a new army
recruiting bill which will bring the
vast majority of Frenchmen under arms
to the extent almost of permanent
levee en- masse of the adult population.
He has vastly improved the dressing and
general appearance Of the army. Up to
the end of the Empire the French sold
Ter was the most splendidly dressed and
most showily equipped In Europe. From
1870, however, every successive Minister
of War did his utmost to make him look
as mean and shabby as possible. GEN
eral Boulanger has made 1t his duty to
improve the dress of the soldier, believ-
ing that pride In the appearance
Of the individual has much
to do with the general efficiency Of the
army as whole. There are many peO-
pie In France, however, who hold the
opinion that General Boulanger is as
Diring to play political role In the Re-
publican party.

Of Col. Dill and Mr.. Paxton and that not
