How Alcohol is Produced.

Alcohol in its true character is liquid excre-
ment of a fungi, microbe parasite, or insect so
small and diminutive that it can not be seen by
the naked eye but requires tense of powerful
focus to discover. These microbes are the result
of artificial decomposition. The grain passes
through several stages of moisture and heat into
fermentation producing a change in its decompo-
sition which might be called the actual decay of
the grain.
Out of this death or decomposition arises an ex.
uberance or profusion of fungi. or animalcule:

A Bloody Fight

YAzoo Cry, MISS, July News
has Just been received here of a terrible
tragedy which occurred this afternoon at
Rising Sun station, Lefore county, five
miles this side Of Greenwood. Bad blood
existed for some time between s. H.
Whitworth. a planter and a merchant of
that section, and Henry McCarty, another
local merchant. Whitworth, Mclean
and Hoskens on one side, and Henry
McCarty, P. II. Joy and Sam Austin on
the other side, met this afternoon. The
first three entered the store of McCarty &
Matthews, armed. with Winchesters and
pistols. Some words brought on the fir
ing and Joy and Austin were instantly
killed. Henry McCarty is missing and is
supposed to have been killed also, and
Whitworth and Ben Mclean are badly
wounded.

A Plea for PecuIIaritIes.

Oddly is, therefore, the designative or
distinguishing element about men, and is
to be avoided only as it Is of the charac-
%terless, or the disagreeable sort. 1t is
possible for a family trait to divide its
quality. know well two brothers, the
one an eminent priest, a man of really
magnificent power, the other a man Of
picayune infinitesimals. The first Is a
close listed and really mean business man,
but it is overlapped by his superb
scholarship; the second has large scholar
ship, but 1t is overgrown by his lmpecu-
mostly The family trait for generations
has been precision In business affairs,
with New England parsimony. Here it
brings forth two brains very nearly equal
in power. but only in one does the odd.
ness show itself as u~ndisguised meanness.
On the whole, / think there Is nothing
we may be so thankful for as peculiari.

helpless INT unable to exercise rational
control of our powers, no harm can come
from having what our neighbors have

members of the committee to officially
notify Levi P. Morton of his nomination
for the vice presidency. were met at the
depot by the local committee, and amid
cheering and booming of cannon were
escorted to the Huntington place, where
Mr.. Morton is living. Mr.. Morton, ar

splendid health, stood in the center of his

gantly attired, stood beside her husband
during the notification ceremony.
The speeches were short and to the
point. Chairman Estee, clad In a black

feet of Mr.. Morton. Immediately be-
hind came the members of the committee.
Estee then delivered the address.
Morton replied and after he Lad fin

into luncheon, which was ready to be
served on the balcony.
Estee gave the toast ''The next vice

responded. The party then entered car

Tho Other Side of It.

CHICAGO, July 7.-Speaking of Gen
eral Manager Stones statement of yester-
day, Daniel Donahoe, attorney for the
alleged Burlington dynamiters, said to-
day: when you come to examine the
statement critically there is very little in
it. 1t won't bear investigating. Stone
makes out that Bowles was receiving
brotherhood funds through Bauereisn.
OF course he was, so were all the brother
hood engineers in that division. The
brotherhood had never made any secret of
that; in fact, they wanted the public to
know they were supporting the men on
strike. Then, as to the numerous explo-
sions; how is it that nothing was ever
heard Of them till now. We claim that
it is a put up job on the part Of a lot of
hungry detectives who have to make a
case to keep themselves in a Job.

The ordinary man does not think that
much skill is needed III washing clothes.
He has seen them washed, and he has no
doubt but what he could do it as well as
anybody If he had to. He has looked
with a critical eye at the w~asherwoman,
perhaps, and as she was not pretty, but
old and careworn. or decidedly black, his
Interest has soon died. He imagines that
washing clothes simply means the throw
ing of them into a tub of hot water and
then rubbing them up and down on a fur
rowed board, with n little soap to make
them slippery
This is very far from the truth. Nearly
every article requires different treatment.
Pillow slips and stockings, for instance,
must be turned inside out before they are
washed. and for exactly different reasons.
Flannels must be handled delicately. Tho
ordinary process of washing would soon
make them as smooth as linen, and rob
them of that delightful ability to irritate
the skin that is so soothing in winter. A
piece of linen marked with fruit stains
must be washed by stretching the linen
over the tub and pouring hot water
through It, and no soap must be used
until the stain disappears. If, however,
the stain Is of long standing. the spot
hould be slightly dampened and then
rubbed vigorously with common yellow
soap. After this it should be well
starched and then exposed to the sun and
air.
Articles Of delicate blue should be
washed in water to which sugar of lead
has been added. II any article Is mil
dewed, javel water Will soon remove all
trace of the mildew. Any good washer
woman knows these things, and many be-
sides that are similar. but this amount of
information may help a bride or two in
these June days, when. brides are SO
plentiful.-New York Sun.

st. Louis Furnishes a Startling
Sensation.
Elopement Of Mrs. Morton With
Henry Moore,
Managing Editor Of the st.
Louis Post Dispatch.
A st. Louis Sensation.


ST. LOUIS, July The most start
ling sensation that has occurred here for
many years was revealed to the public
this forenoon, when it was announced that
Henry Moore, managing editor of the
PoSt-D Dispatch, and the wife of John A.
Morton, manager OF the Grand Opera
house and Olympic theater of this city,
left the city together last night in a clan
destine and scandalous manner. From
developments it appears that the couple
have been unGuly intimate for a year, but
their liason was not known to Morton un-
til Thursday last, when 1t was conveyed
to him through an anonymous letter. On
Thursday evening Morton met Moore and
Mrs; Morton at the corner of Lucas and
Jefferson avenues, in the western part Of
the city, and attempted to shoot Moore.
but was disarmed by a friend who was
passing at the time.
Mrs. Morton yesterday removed her
money and valuables from the Safe De-
post company amounting to $50, 900, and
at 10 O'Clock last night she and Moore
left the city 10 a carriage.
At this writing it is not known where
they went or who drove them out of the
city. Mrs. Morton, before her marriage,
was named Emma Stockman and was a
very handsome woman and an actress of
high repute. She was born in Baltimore
and is well known throughout the East.
Morton is known the country over as a
successful theatrical agent and a cultivat-
ed gentleman of high character both in
and out of his profession. Moore has
been managing editor Of the Post Dispatch
for several years and has a most estima-

Terrible Hail Storm.

ST. LOUIS. July IA POST Dispatch
special from Evening Shade, Ark, says:
a terrible rain and hail storm visited
Sharp and Independence counties We'd
nesday. The damage was great. Sixty
five farmers in the vicinity of Charlotte
lost everything they had in the way of
crops. corn, oats and cotton, being en-
tirely destroyed. The sufferers are nearly
all poor and steps are being taken to aid
them. The destruction is almost equally
as great beyond Evening Shade. Fenc-
ing, crops and trees were leveled. Corn
in tassell was cutdown as if by a knife; in
many fields not a stalk Of cotton is left
standing. a IA year old boy was struck
by lightning during the storm. No other
lives were lost so far as reported.
ST. PAUL, July IA great storm
passed over Western and Central Mime
sofa and Eastern Dakota yesterday. The
wind reached the velocity of a hurricane.
At Shakopee, MINI, the great building
of the Wampach furniture company was
badly wrecked, the Cooper building was
demolished, and Kohl Il Barnes store
unroofed. Several frame residences and
barns were blown away, and trees and
fences torn up and thrown across the
highways in such a way as to prevent
travel.
At Redwood Falls, Mimi, several
buildings were toppled over and some
were burned by lightning. Most of the
damage to fences is reported from the
country at st. Peter. Lightning burned
three buildings, one barn containing sew
eral valuable horses, and many hundreds
of acres of corn were destroyed by hail.
Many buildings were blown down in the
vicinity of Roswell, Oak, where the storm
swept IA strip of country twenty miles vide
and at Villas the hail did considerable
damage to crops.

FRIGHTENING UP.
Brisk Demand and High Prices
for Good Cattle.
The Market Still Dull for Poor
Grades.
Best Sheep Scarce and in Good
Demand.
The Cattle Market.
Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.

Special Dispatch to THE AIDE
CHICvGo, July dealers who have
good to choice shipping steers for sale are
not finding any fault with the cattle mar
ket these days. There has been an unin-
terruptedly good demand for such grades,
and although receipts in the aggregate
were exceptionally heavy offerings OF well
fatted natives are notably small. Hence
the few loads Of prime, dry fed steers in
cluded in the daily run sell quickly at an
advance of 25(935 cents as compared with
Friday last. This carries extra grades
back to Sc. 00(96. 25. or within 25(950
cents of the highest point yet reached.
The fact that freight rates to the East are
beng cut right and left is a big point in
sellers favor. Other home markets are
all higher while cables from London re-
port an advance in American beef abroad.
Buyers for shipping, dressed beef and
export account are in the saddle early
each day, and do not attempt to disguise
the fact that they want good stock and
are willing to pay for it. Some orders
for choice beeves usually have to go oyer
untitled, and the scarcity of farm stock of
the right sort usually compels exporters
and shippers to take some distillery cattle
to make up shipments. AS has been be-
fore remarked in these reports, cattle of
the better classes are very scare In the
country, and the firmness in them is
therefore likely to be lasting.
For all cattle grading below good"
the market has been dull and weak
throughout.
Poor and common natives remain down
at low water mark, and are worth more
money in the country than in Chicago.
There is not enough of them coming in
now to do the market any harm were it
not borne down by the overwhelming
flood of Texans. Common and medium
steers and butchers and Gamers mater
ial of all descriptions are dirt cheap and
there is no show for an advance 50 long
as the present heavy run continues.
Prices are as low as they can get or the
1900 to IA. cattle in sight daily at
Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City
would carry the market lower.
Texans are coming in at an unheard of
rate, the average being close to 5000
head per day. The effect upon prices can
be imagined. The bulk of the receipts
are fit only for canning purposes and
therefore meet with but little competi-
ton.
Everything sells slowly, and some
droves do not seem to be wanted at any
price.
Stockers and feeders are dull with the
feeling in weak. There was however,
never a time when investments in this
class Of stock gave greater promise.

Attacking Trains.

CHICAGO, July AS passenger train
No. II, on the Burlington road, was leav.
ing Chicago last evening a rock was
thrown through the cab window of the
engine, narrowly missing the engineer and
fireman. At Riverside and again at Ma.
p%erville the engine was bombarded. AT
the former place a perfect storm of stones
was thrown, battering the side of the en-
CINE and breaking more glass. At Naper-
vile the fireman was struck on the head
with a flying missile, inhicting a scalp
wound, but he is not seriously injured.

The Raise in Rates.

New YORK, July THE upheaval in
freight rates to the West continues and is
developing many queer phases. The Rock
Island route has been handling the bulk
of the green fruit which leaves this city
for Kansas City. The rate is $1.03 per
100 pounds, all rail. Yesterday the agent
of q certain line offered a skipper $50 per
carload commission for his shipment, but
he refused and insisted on $25. The
agent held firm at $50. and the fruit, it is
now learned, was shipped by another
route, presumably on the commission de-
manded.

Washouts.

ST. LOUIS, July 7.-Advices from
Southern Texas say: Terrible rains during
the past few DAYS caused the washing out
of the track on the Southern Pacific road
heal Orange and Beaumont, SO that
travel is completely blocked. In some
places the water is nine feet deep oyer the
tracks. 1t is believed travel will not be
resumed for several days. One train of
passengers has been bound in at a small
station and will, without doubt, need re-
lief very soon, which will have to be fur
nished by boats.
