Preparations.

To Open with Great Coromony-ElRborate
Preparations.
CISCINNATT, o., July 1.-The present
week promises to be an eventful one in
Cincinnati. 1t will witness the opening
Of the Centennial Exposition and at the
same time the celebration OF the Fourth
Of July. To this end commission was
appointed upon the plan which has
hitherto been SO successful, namely: A
commission representing the public and
not required to manage the affairs 80 rs
to pay dividends to the stockholders, but
only to make the exhibition worthy OF
the occasion, and to produce enough re-
Ceipts 10 make it necessary TO make an
assessment upon the voluntary subscri-
bers to the guarantee fund. This fund
exceeds one million dollars. It's in the
note, payable after the exhibition closes
in proportion to the entire deficit, if
there should be any.
A very earnest effort was made to
have the President and Mrs. Cleveland
present at the opening exercises. A
large committee Of leading gentlemen
and ladies visited Washington to urge
upon the President and his wife the
Importance an acceptance Of their in
vitation.
The President only yesterday an
nounced his inability to attend at the
opening, but promised to come later.
The preparations have been most ela-
borate. 1t is not yet settled whether
Mrs. Cleveland shall start the machinery
by electricity from Washington, or
whether it shall be done in some other

"HaI hal hal" laughed Host Chitten-

in the laugh.
'I'll tell you what I'll do" said the
sturdy Senator. ''l'ii Just bet you the

"That's good bet" suggested Harry

A wOULD.BB WIFE POISONER
Under Arrest-- Caught In the Act by his In
u tended Victim.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July Louis A.
Finlay, furniture worker, was arrested
to-day charged with attempting to poison
his wife. The case possesses many pecu-
liar features. A week ago tonight Mrs.
Finlay awoke in the middle OF the night
to find her husband holding vial to
her mouth. "Take drink, darling"
he said, when he saw she was awake. A
strong odor of fchlorotorm prevailed. She
went to a neighbor's and at
once communicated with her par
cuts at Oshkosh, Wis, from
whom she asccrtained that her husband
had written them several days ago that
she was dangerously i'll. These Circum.
stances, in connection with the fact that
she had felt unwell after drinking cup
Of coffee, prepared for her by him, led
her to cause his arrest to-day. He at
first admitted and then denied the
charge. His marriage occurred less than
year ago, and 1t is supposed he wanted
to get rid OF his wife to marry another
woman. Four years ago former wife
and her child were burned to death in
their dwelling at Grand Rapids, Mich.

Y0uTnErL CRIMINALS.
A Gang Run Down Mt Warrants
Issued for their Arrest.


ALLIANCE, July l.-oflicers have at
last ferreted out gang OF youthful crim-
inals whose depredations have been
going on for months. Attempt after at-
tempt was made to lay hands on the
night marauders, but so well did they
cover their tracks that all previous at.
tempts proved futile. For some time
McLaren & Co., Broadway grocers, have
felt that they were being systematically
robbed. Watch after watch was set,
but to no purpose, until a few nights
since three young boys were noticed to
step up to the store door, unlock. the
same and walk leisurely but boldly in.
This solved the mystery. The boys had
a duplicate key, visited the place al
most nightly and helped themselves.
Justice Stillwell has issued warrants for
their arrest.

Guarding Diamonds

When the French Crown Jewels

famous Regent" diamond, were re-

the weltknown statue of Apollo,
which is such a prominent object in
it. Before these priceless gems were
exposed, however,a committee OF skill
ed officials and experts was appoint
ed in order to decide on some plan
for rendering their loss by theft virtu-
ally impossible. And this is what
the COMMITTEES decided upon.
The jewels are exhibited in q show

ceptionaliy thick and the iron frame

and an attendant has been appoint

he have the slightest cause to suspect

A Curious Lightning Stroke
Atlantic Constitution.


The lightning's freaks have been
strangely illustrated in Burke county,
where the fund struck one of the cab
ms on McMaster's place. The house,
p small, one.room cabin. was occu.
pied by an entire family of seven. The
house was struck upon the cone, the
current running along the edge of the
roof for several feet, thence to the
inside, where it ran down the studding,
which was about six inches in diSme-
ter, tearing il into splinters, this
within two feet of the head OF bed
occupied by two children. These
were not even shocked, but the light
ming flashed across the six feet inter.
yenlng between the other bed occupied
by the mother and three children,
setting the bedclothing on fire and
severely burning three Of the children,
but the mother was left unframed.
Thence the current ran into chest
under the bed, setting fire to the
clothing in it. The eldest boy, Is
years of age. hasn't the smallest
vestige of skin left on his back from
his neck down, and is perfectly raw,
while the next, a boy OF some years
old, has the skin burned off from the
small of his back to his heels, and his
hand is terribly burned. The third a
baby,2 years old, has the skin burned
off from the hips down.

Two hundred and hfty-nlne years

of great violence attacked all of the
Indian tribes of North America, and
it soon became manifest that the
whole race would become extinct II
the fell destroyer was not arrested:
The great medicine men exerted all
their skill and power, both with medi-
cines and incantations, but without
avail The healing qualities OF min
eral waters had long been known to
the Indians, and they resorted TO the
waters of the east and south In their
dire distress, but with little success.
At this period OF their great afiiiction'
when their ranks had been decimateo'
when hope was almost extingulsned, q
messenger arrived from the great west
with news of wonderful water which
he said had been touched by the hnger
of the great spirit, and that TINS water
would cure all manner OF disease
with the same eagerness that the peo-
pie of all ages have seized upon q
dernier resort for ills, the Indians ac-
cepted the hope, and repaired Dy
thousands to these most wonderful
waters. and were saved. From that
time these waters have been the great
resort for the Indians. 1t is a Well

so that it requires something like TO-.

the cans used yearly. The weight of
