MIR. RICE,s DECLINATIoN.

Unlike Mr.. BLAINE's declination Mr..
RICE's letter declining a denomination
for congress admits of no doubtful con-
struction. He means what he says, and
gives good reasons for the course he has
determined upon.
1t will be with feeling of profound
regret that the people of this district
will learn of Mr.. RICE'S determination
to retire from public life. There is no
man in this community who holds a
warmer place in the affection of our cit
liens than EDMUND RICE, and no one
who so universally enjoys the conf
dence of all classes. If Mr.. RICE
wanted to go back to congress all he
would have to do would be to say the
word. In fact, he would not be con-
suited about it, but would be reelected
without regard to his personal wishes
in the matter if he were younger man.
But the reasons assigned by him for
declining another nomination are valid.
He has reached that age of life when
men want rest and freedom from the
worrying cares of public station. Ii
any man is entitled to have his wishes
in this regard respected, it is Mr.. RICE.
He has been public servant all his life
hot all the time in public office-yet
always engaged in public affairs, and
always busy in promoting the public
welfare. There is no honor the people
of this community are not willing to
confer upon him. They have already
crowned him with every testimonial of
their esteem and confidence, and now,
that he expresses desire to be relieved
at the end of his term in congress from
the responsibilities of public life, his
wishes shall be respected, though it be
done sorrowfuliy by a confding eonstit-
uency.

WHIPPED BY WHITE CAPS.
An Indiana Farmer Numerically
Beaten

New ALBANY, Ind, May 3.-About
forty ''White Caps called at the house
of W. II. Toney, at English, Crawford
county, forty miles south of here,
Tuesday night, dragged him to
telephone pole and whipped him
numerically with hickory switches
Blood was spattered about the tele-
phone pole and his body was lacerated
in most horrible manner. He begged
piteously. His recovery is doubtful.
He is prominent citizen of that county,
a man OF considerable means, has wife
and family. The charge was drunken
ness and abuse of family A. Jackson
Goodman, who also lives near English,
was notified to change his manner of
doing business by keeping sober.
James Pro, editor of the English News,
was notified to publish that the
White Caps would attend the
election next November, and that
all persons detected in buying
honorably would be treated to 200 lashes.
None of the White Caps are known, and
it is said they are much stronger and
more diligent than heretofore. 1t is be-
lieved that many of them belong in adj
Joining counties of Harrison and Orange.
The people of Crawford county are
much excited. and an attempt will be
made to organize a large company of
good citizens to capture the outlaws.
An attempt will also be made to get
Coy. Gray to send the state militia to
the county SO the citizens can have
more protection. No one can tell who
is to be logged next. and the best peo-
pie are afraid their lives will be taken.

CRUELTY TO HORSES.

The wrongs of our Revolutionary
Sires are being avenged. The British
minister was fined S25 by Washington
judge the other day for cutting off his
horses tail. The fine was imposed IN
der the law for the prevention of cruelty
to animals, and it was proved in court
that banging a horses tail is an injury
to the animal. The custom of banging
the tails of horses is of English origin,
and we are gratified to find that our
American courts have the moral courage
to crush out the cruel innovation. If
horses had 10 use for their tails nature
would not have supplied them with
tails. And everybody who has an eye
for beauty, and is judge of horse flesh,
knows that nothing disfgures a horse
more than cutting his tail Off short up
like an Indian dogs.
There is one other species of cruelty
being practiced upon horses that the
courts want to look after. 1t is the hor-
rible check-rein punishment that drivers
insist upon inflicting upon the poor
dumb animals when they are harnessed
up. 1t is hard to realize that in this
humane age the common practice Of
driving horses with check rein should
be tolerated. If any person has any
doubt as to the check rein being a pun
ishment let him put a bit in his own
mouth, draw the head back with a strap
as far as it can be drawn back and then
fasten it in that position for a whole
day. By evening you will realize what
the poor horses are made to suffer every
day through the cruelty of drivers who
are either ignorant of, or Indifferent to
the punishment they are inficting.

without the necessary foundation for so
important statement. The verbal
flourishes contained some germs of
truth. For instance, the $500 manage
ment does propose to arrange for fine
terminals at Minneapolis and st. Paul
and negotiations have been completed
Boston to Minneapolis. 1t is
also true that efforts are under
way, looking to continuation of the
line westward to the coast, but this is
not news, but is part Of the general
plan. The stock of the system has

CHICAGO, May 3.-A Chicago, Bur

badly wrecked at late hour tonight
when entering the Louisville, New AL
bany d Chicago yards, and under cir
cumstances which leads to the belief
that 1t was the work of strikers or SYM
pathiZerS. After the engine and two
cars had passed, some unknown mis-
creant threw a switch and the next fif-
teen cars were Immediately derailed
and piled up in hopeless wreck in the
ditch. Just as the switch was thrown a
man near the rear of the train threw
tie on the track, wrecking the last three
cars. AT the same time a car of
dope" material of a highly
lnfiammable nature, used for oil
ing wheels, which was in the center of
OF the train, was set On fire. 1t blazed
up fiercely and speedily the flames
spread to the adjoining cars. The Lake
fire engines responded to an alarm and
the flames were eXtinguished without
the destruction of any but the original
car. The wrecked train was strung
along the tracks for nearly half mile,
three of the four tracks being COM
pletely blockaded. just after the
wreck occurred a policeman found the
conductor of the train, James
A. Edwards, lying near the
tracks at Fourty-fifth, badly bruised
and nearly insenslble. When revived
he said three men had boarded his
caboose at the Thirty-seventh street
crossing and attacked him. He was

DONNELLY,S CIPHER.

The Great Cryptogram is born at last.
Mr.. DoNNELLY'S long-talked of book
was issued simultaneously in England
and in this country on the first day of
the month. A copy of the Great Cryptic
gram now lying on our desk, is Il volume
of nearly LOCO pages. printed in clear
type, on good paper, and bound in cloth.
The book is aifectionately dedicated by
the author to his wife, and is illustrated
with steel cuts of BACON, SHAKE
sPEARE, Ben JoNsoN and other liter
airy celebrities.
The book itself is only an ampiifcation
the magazines and newspapers. 1t
is disappointing in that it re
VealS nothing new, and the book is so
everlastingly big the average reader
will be discouraged from attempting to
go through the dreary literary desert
which lies before him. To persons fond
of theatrical speculation the Great Cryp-
t0gram Will be fascinating. 1t is writ
ten in the attractive style for which Mr.
DoNNELLY is noted, and to get on the
inside of some of his cipher processes
is as entertaining as study of the once
famous Is puzzle. 1t is evident that
Mr.. DoNNELLY is conscious of the fact
that he is writing in the face of
mighty prejudice, for nearly one-half of
the book is taken UP in an apologize
explanation of how he fell onto the
cipher, and defending himself for hay
ing taken it up. The rest of it will in
best as being strikingly illustrative of
his genius for making straw men and
then demolishing them.
Prof. THOMAS DAVIDSON, who had
been so captivated by Mr.. DoNNELLY's
magical skill in giving plausibility to
unsubStantial things as to write a long
review of the Cryptogram for the New
York World. in which he boosted the
Baconian theory, has let go all holds
since reading the book in full. In an
article i'll last Sundays World he pro-
nounces the Baconian theory to be a fiat
failure, and says that he has come to
this conclusion after reading the proof
sheets of the book, which Mr.. Don
NELLY had kindly furnished him. He
comedies that the D0NNEII.Y cipher
is a marvellous piece of human in
genuity, but is altogether untrust-
worthy. lie eXonerates Mr.. DoNNELLY
from any purpose of perpetrating
conscious fraud. but thinks he is the
victim of his own misguided literary
enthusiasm. In the first place he thinks
that Mr.. DoNNEILY is mistaken in
SuppoSing that he has found cipher III
the plays. Mr.. DONNEIIY'S cipher is
an arbitrary one of his own construc-
ton. Anybody could make just as good
a cipher and apply it equally as well to
any other book. Then again the
DoNNELLY cipher is capricious one.
Instead of having a cipher with
definite principle by which SHAKE
spEARE's plays can be studied the author
starts out in every case by determining
what he wishes TO find and then eXer-
cising his ingenuity in reaching
it by calculation always contain
ing an element of caprice. 1t is
Mr.. DoNNEILY's system of arbi
trary counting that destroys the faith of
all unprecedented critic like Prof. DA-
WILSON, in the Cryptogram. 1t is not

Further Particulars Of the Death
OF Martin BEEN.

STANTON, Neb., May 3.-Further
particulars in the death of Martin BEEN
are as follows: The coWner's jury
found verdict of instantaneous death
by pistol shot from some unknown
hand. Mr.. BEEN arrived here Sunday
at 5 o'clock, hired livery rig and drove
to the Case ranch that night. All day
Monday he seemed to act very
strange, wanting a pistol to
go out in the valley to shoot
wild cats and seemed to want the fam
lily to stay away from the house. He
was apparently on friendly terms with
his wife. Tuesday night after dinner
he told his wife she had be tier lie down
and take a nap, which she did in her
own room. Mr.. Case and his son went
to the barn to take care of the stock and
Mr.. BEEN said he guessed he would go
to his Wife'S room and lie down too. He
went to the room and told his wife he
would read while before lying down
and sat down in chair beside the bed.
She, in a few minutes, had fallen asleep,
She teStifies that she did not hear the
report of either of the two shots of the
pistol. There were two shots fired
about three or four seconds apart, the
first shot not taking effect, but passing
over the head of the bed and entered
the wall. The second entered his body
just below the heart, killing him III
stantly. The noise of the falling of her
husband and other persons coming
to the room awakened Mrs. BEEN.
Her father, MI. Case, found her stand
ing at the head of the stairs, with her
hands pressed against her ears. She
seemed to be almost out of her mind.
Her husband had fallen face down
wards across a chair. He made two or
three gaspS when moved by Mr.. Case
and expired. Mr.. and Mrs. BEEN have
pleasant ore. The remains will be
shipped to Alton, H., for interment.
