started to swim across a deep place between

When about the middle. young Thompson
threw up his arms and called his companion,
who looked over his shoulder and saw him,
but, thinking nothing of it, swan on to the
shore. He then looked around. and not
seeing him, gave an alarm, William Paul
and his son came down at once, and
weighted down hay-rake and dragged the
place where he was last seen, fortunately

highest terms as an industrious, sober, re-
lfis5le young man. His parents have been
summoned, and the body Will be taken to

Dies MONIES, Ia, May 22.-Comment
arises over the issuance of call at the re-
quest of three supervisors for special
meeting of the county board to consider
the application of j. S. Kidd for LIQUOR
permit. Kidd is manager of the Intena-

attorneys have become alarmed over the
severity of the amended law, and propose
to be forearmed. as high proof spirits only
are made for export. He will doubtless
get the permit.

showing How Swiftly a Fortune is

Chicago Herald.
Swift, the dressed-beef man. who ships
on an average 5000 dressed beeves a day,
has made his money within the last four
years, the great bulk Of it within the last
three.
Swift is Yankee and looks it. His
frame is big and his carriage stumbling.
His eyes are bright and clear. but his thin
and struggling beard makes him look an
easy man to confidence.
He is in appearance just the kind of a
man for whom sharp confidence fellows lie
in wait.
When some dapper fellow accosts him
with: Why, hello, SMITH bless. my soul,
how are all the folks at home?" They suf-
fer disilluson when Swift turns his sharp
eyes on them. His whiskers look guilelses,
but his eyes have a worldly look in them.

Wakefield Wrathx.
snecial to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-Gov. Wake
fields castigation of the newspaper cores
pondent who has been maligning him and
other congressman opposed to the Pacific
Mail subsidy was highly relished by the
spectators. The individual to whom his
remarks were directed is one of the most
notorious lobbyists in Washington-a man
. who, by persistent cheek, has made himself
conspicuous in the newspaper world, and
Eby his INSCRIPTIONS Justification has man
/ aged to make a good deal of money. His
work this session has been done chiefly for
the law firm that directed the fight against
Land Commissioner Sparks and for the Pa
, cific Mail. The idea that Gov. Wakefield,
a man of such well-known stability of char
} Rcter and integrity Of conduct, could be in
'fluenced by corrupt means, as was charged
Eby his assailant, was too preposterous to be
countenanced. The aim of the assault was
! to brighten the congressman into yielding
the position he had taken with Postmaster
General Villas on the subsidy question
This game did not work, and everybody is
laughing at the man who tried it ON. Gov.
Wakefield has the interest of his constitu-
ents at heart, and had he not decided to
withdraw from public life they could do no
better, inasmuch as Democrat cannot be
elected from the Second district, than to re-
turn him for third term.
