The sioux CITY Murder

One of the most cowardly and cold
blooded murders ever perpetrated in
the west occurred at Sioux City, Iowa,
Tuesday night, the victim being Rev.
G.S. Haddock, pastor of the First M.
E. church at that place. Mr.. Haddock
had resided in Sioux City less than a
year, coming there from Oshkosh, Wis,
last October, but since his arrival had
taken a marked interestin the enforce
ment OF the Iowa liquor law, which
course no doubt was the actuating
cause of the horrible crime committed
Great excitement prevails, and should
the assassin be appreheGded speedy
justice would be meted out to him.
None but those of the anarchist stripe
would for a moment offer an excuse for
crime OF this class.
The following is The population OF
Turner county for the year 1856, as re-
turned by the assessment roll:
No. of males over 81 years old 1873
No. of females over Il 1903
No. of males under q 2.352
No. of females under 81 2.l52
Those who have been bemoaning the
hopeless lot of Dakota becaure Of the
alleged crop failure, should turn their
sympathies several hundred miles to
the eastward. An Oshkosh special
says: The farmers of Winnebago coun.
ty are in terrible straits on account OF
the drought. The cattle have been
turned into the wheat and oat fields
| and roadsides to obtain enough to sus-
tain life. A good many are selling off
stock, one farmer near Omro Gisposing
of ten cows for $780, Grass is being
cut upon the marshes, and even wild
rice is being gathered for feed this win.
ter. Another farmer offered to sell 9
thirty-acre oat field for 81. Every
thing points to Il distressing situation
among the farmers this winter.

A Sad Accident.

Monday afternoon Henry Schuwalter
and his son Henry, lad of l3 years
were stacking wheat on Mr.. Schuwal-
ters farm west Of Hurley. The last of
the grain had been placed upon the
wagon, and Henry was instructed by his
father to drive to the stack, while he
would go through the corn field and
get some "binders for the stack.
While in the corn, Mr.. S. heard the boy
scream. and emerging from the corn
the team was seen going across the
fields without any driver. Running up
the road where they had ccme it was
found that portion of the load had
Slid Off carrying the boy with it, and
throwing him in a position that the
wagon passed over his chest, crushing
it so that he llyed but few minutes
after being found. The body was
taken to Marion yesterday for burial
Mr.. Schuwalter and family have the
heartfelt sympathy Of neighbors and
| friends in their bereavement.

The inhabitants of Tanna have more

Papuan tribes usually have, but there
are good looking men and women
among them. They paint their faces
with red earth, which they get from the
neighboring islands of Aneiteum and
Erromango. They frizzlc their half,
and the men especially carry hair dress

counted no fewer than 700 separate curls
on the head Of n young exquisite. A
similar practic, prevails on the other
islands of Aneiteum, Nina and Fortuna,
and DR.. Livingstone has noted a some
what similar practice of twisting the hair
into innumerablc small spiral curls
among the Banyai of Central America.

j. The Philadelphia Neys computes that
If one could see 1000, 900 babies start
on a race and could follow them through
life, this Is about what he would see:
Nearly $50, 900 of them would drop out
of the ranks at the end of the first year.
Twelve months later the number would
be still further thinned by the deduction
of So, 900. Twenty-Five thousand would
follow at the end of the third year. They
would throw up the sponge by twos and
threes until the end of the forty-ffth
year, when it would be found that in the
Intervening period something like $780,
900 had left the track. Sixty years
would see 375, 900 gray-heuded men still
cheerfuliy pegging away. At the end of
eighty years the competitors in this great
@tgo-as-you-place'' would number 81, 900,
but they would be getting more shaky
and "dot" each lap. At the end of
ninety-ive seasons only 223 would be
left in tho final %"ties," while the winner
would be led into his retiring ROOM, q
solitary wreck, at the age of 1Os.

A discussion is going on in Europe
concerning the distance at which large
objects on the earth's surface NAV be
visible. Emil NJ .tzgcr mentions that he
once saw, with some difficulty, Keizcr-
spickt, in Sumatra, when distant 10
English miles; and he also made out
Gug Merapi, in Java, when 1870 miles
away. From the Pr Muraun, near Dis
sentis, E. Hill has seen Mont Blanc, the
intervening space measuring about 10
miles. j. Starkie Gardner states that
Mont Blanc is visible from tho Piz Lam
gard, though distant about three degrees.
In Greenland, Mr. Whymper beheld a
mountain from which he was separated
10y $50 miles; and from Marscillcs,
luch saw Mount Canigon at a distance
Of 1853 miles. The whole range of the
Swiss Alps has been looked upon by J.
Hippisley while 900 miles away, while
Sir ". Jones has affirmed that the Him
alayas have appeared to view from the
distance of 224 miles.

Strange Internal Eruption.

Nine miles from Cimmaron, on the
Denver s. Rio Grande Railroad, in Colo
RADIO, the country, which was naturally
hilly and broken, with a heavy covering
of trees, has been visited by an internal
eruption, which had displaced q tract
about two miles square, causing a large
lake to lose its water and its bed to
stand at an angle of As degrees. Where
there had been hills valleys now appear.

with their roots free from dirt, standing

were buried in the debris. The whole

acquainted with it. Aparty of scientists

Earthquakes and Building.

The recent severe earthquake shocks
which have wrought such havoc in the
city of Charleston and vicinity are prob
rbly unique in being the first in this
country to cause destruction of life. The
widespread destruction of property also
accompanying them cannot but bring to
the mind of every thoughtful engineer
and architect the question whether this
hitherto apparently remote danger to
permanent structures is not of sufficient
probability to require it's recognition in
all designs. There havo been we'll de-
fined earthquake shocks in the vicinity
of New York and many other parts of
the country, and it would seem desira-
bic that the practical bearings of the sub
ject should be carefully studied. A recent
paper by Professor John Milne, F. G. s.
of the Imperial College of Engineering
at Toxic, Japan, suggests the support of
buildings in earthquake countries upon
horizontal cast-iron plates, between
which are cast-iron shot one-quarter of
an inch in diameter (the cracking
strength of each Of which is about 1900
pounds). He also suggests deep founda-
tions free from tho surrounding earth;
that all arches where such arc necessary
shall be curved into, and not form an
angle at the abutments-in other words,
the substitution of elliptical or other
curved forms for scgmental arches; that
windows and doors shall not be verti-
cally over each other, since they form
lines of weakness, as has been repeatedly
illustrated in destructive shocks; that
high buildings should be avoided that
upper parts of walls, and also roofs,
should be made as light as possible, and
ii q. steeply pitched roofs are dangerous.

The New York Commercial says it is
a mistake to suppose that criminals of
the higher grade-likc burglars, forgers
and bank robbers-arc coarse, ignorant,
vulgar mon. If they were they would
not succeed. Their dishonest trade re-
quires intelligence, mental training and
a large amount of self-rcstraint. Many of
them have been clever mechanics, while
some are cultured and of good anteced-
ents. Louis G. Clermont, the notorious
bank robber, who died three years ago.,
was a southcrner by birth, his parents
being rich and highly respectable. He
was a college graduate, but being with
out principle and ~extravagant, his father
got tired of furnishing him with money,
and he determined to get it for himself
by what he thought the easiest means.
He became acquainted with several
notorious forgers and check r~aisers,
adopted their calling, and profted
by it. He went abroad and
in Germany fell in with Max Shinburn,
a noted bank robber, who got rich by
plying his profession hero, crossed the
sea-, purchased the title of baron and
settled down rs a member of the old
aristocracy. Clcrmont probably gained
valuable knowledge from Shinburn. He
returned to his native land, took up his
abode in Philadelphia, and, by his hand
some person, agreeable manners and
bright conversation, gained some social
position. He assumed to be a Cuban
refugee, and his dark eyes, hair and
complexion, with his 1uency in Spanish,
assisted the assumption. He paid court
to a pretty widow, Mrs. Joseph Dumel
and married her. They decided to go
abroad for a bridal tour. She got her
%valuables, together with $40. 900 in cash,
and they were ready to start, when he
asked her to carry q note somewhere for
him, while he took charge of her things.
When she returned, he had disappeared.
He was engaged in several bank rob-
berries afterward, under the name OF
Colonel Ralph Pollard, formerly of the
Louisiana Tigers. In one of these he
was arrested, sent to prison for twelve
years, and ended his life there.

The frozen meat trade is assuming
great proportions in England. A cargo
: which recently arrived at the East India
docks in London consisted of over 80.
900 frozen carcasses of mutton in excel
aent condition. This contribution 10
the food supply of London came from
tthe Falkland Islands, where there are
now more than 600, 900 sheep. The Lon
don Ifnass says: ''The carcasses brought
sover are described as being those of
sheep Of prime Canterbury type, we'll
ieshed, and with no su%perfuous waste
Tul fat, and they average from sixty to
seventy pounds each. S.les have been
effected Of portions of the cargo at over
Sd. per pound" The ~colonists have
hitherto contented themselves with what
they could realize from the wool, skins
and tallow to be obtained from their
sheep, but now, in consequence Of this
most recent development in refrigerating
aDachinery by means Of cold, dry air, they
will be able to send their mutton to the
English market, not only to their own
advantage, but also to that of the con-
sumers over there and there appears to
be every reason to expect that the enter
prise which has been entered into in Sc
practical manner will result In. : com
