more affected by it than the workingmen
in the manufacturing centers. These last
had been thinking of the question and de-
batting it among themselves long before it
became. SO prominent in this political con-
test. The education Of the farmers in the
same direction will not be rapid, but if the
Republican leaders are able to maintain
their policy as announced in the Chicago
platform and in the senate tariff bill, the
defeat OF their party in1S92 is inevitable"
The President has determined upon
nothing after he leaves the White House,
except that it is practically resolved that
he will sell the Oakyiew estate, and under
no circumstances will he live in Washing

For round onr door they all hung
Their bells of pink and blue.

And always when | came she stood
To meet me, in the door,
Where morning giories twined, and threw
Light shadows on the floor.
"The angels through these trumpets brigh
Some messages may speak"
She used 10 say and held them up
T' brow, and lips, aud cheek.

But now, when cOmeS 5t,str

To hear some word from her.

A Cold-Blooded Murder.

Redwood Falls, Mimi, special: Frank
Dodge, a barber at Morton, brought d
friend here the other night to take a train.
He went out of town during the evening
and was not seen again. The next morn
ing his body was found near the old cream
cry. There was an ugly wound on the back
of his head, which must have been inflicted
by a cudgel blow. He was evidently killed
somewhere and thauled here, as carriage
tracks were observable at the side OF the
street where he was threwn. As found he
seemed to nave been laid carefully on the
ground. There is no apprehension to the
murderer as yet. It is one OF the most
murders in history, as his
show.

MiNEUVERS OF Il M4DH4N
He Bites Out a Dogs Tongue and Attacks a
Neighbour.

Gainesville, Tex, special: Last SATURDAY.
William s. Pears, a farmer about so years
vi a.e, residing in Walnut Bend, this Cook
county, suddenly became a raving maniac
while sitting in the house with his family
and immediately rushed into his yard and
made a vicious attack upon q large doc
with his clinched fists. The mailman en-
braced the animal in his arms. Both fell
to the ground, where the struggle was con.
tinued, the dog biting the man and the lat
ter in turn biting the animal.
The battle between the two lasted sew
eral seconds and terminated by the. dog
losing a large portion of his tongue, which
was bitten off by the man, who thoroughly
n~asticated the lingual member before spit-
ting it from his mouth.
He then started away from home alono
the. public highway, closely pursued by
some OF the ~nelgbbors, who came up about
the time the contest between the man and
the dog ended, but, being afraid to grapple
with him, they allowed the maniac to
move along the road. He had not gonefar
when he met one OF his neighbors riding
horseback. He rushed upon the rider.

legs and otherwise tearing and bruising
him badly before the vicious man could he

The pursuers finally succeeded in GETTING
a rope about the neck OF the wild man and
took him back to his home, where he was
kept closely confined until to-day when he
was sent to the asylum.

oclasts OF the day. He las collected al

THE BOSTON AND MONT4N4.
Additional Attachments Filed Against the
Company by Eastern Parties.

From the Helena Independently: Addi-
tional attachments in the sum of $73, 900
were filed yesterday against the Boston
and Montana Gold Mining company, making
on aggregate of $4,000 filed against the
property. The mines are swned by an
eastern syndicate and were operated by a
company of which H. W. Child was general
manager. The improvements consist of a
go stamp gold mill, and one of the finest
hoists in the country, while the other
buildings are OF a good character,
But little except development work has
been done in the mine for the past eight
months. Mr.. Child is superintendent of
the smeiter at Great Falls and has given
his attention to that enterprise. The
eastern owners evidently became dissatis
fed with the manner in which Operations
were being conducted, and decided to at
tach the property, which is very valuable.
There is no legal difficulty likely to grow
out IF the affair. The syndicate had adj
vanced large sums of money and they are
amply secured by the mill, hoist and other
surface improvements.
