JUDGE rHURm4N.s LETTER.

Columbus dispatch: 1t seems probable
that Judge Thurman will issue no letter
OF acceptance, owing to his speech OF
acceptance to the notification committee
and the extended expressions of his
views in his speeches during the cam.
paigh. The Judge has for a long time
had in mind what he would say in case
he should write letter, but his time
has been so fully occupied that it has
been impossible for him to put it on
paper. He has had considerable bnai.
ness to attend to, and all other time has
been taken by his callers, who keeu
coming steadily ut all hours. This week
the judge has to some extent shut the
door on his callers, to give him time 10
complete his preparations of the argu-
iment in the telephone case. While he
has not stated that he would not write q
letter OF acceptance, Judge Thurman
has frequently remarked that he does
not see the necessity. The statement
OF the early publication of such a letter
has been made several times, but in no
case has the judge stated positively
when it would be, and the most of sucb
statements have been made by Others
Judge Thurman will leave for WASHING.
ton on Friday.

An Educated Red Man,

George Botchtenter, an educated Indi-
an, passed through the city on last even.
ing's c., r. l. s. p. west bound train.
He was from Richmond, Va, where he
had just graduated, and was on his way
to Fit. Atkins, Oak , to take charge of an
dressed in broadcloth suit, wore Qua
ker hat. carried gold headed cane, and
depsrted himself in manner that par-
took more of eastern aristocracy than
western simplicity.
He told Il Democrat Gazette reporter an
interesting story of his life. He stated
that he was twenty five years of age and
had been in the east most of the time
since he was sixteen years old. Ambi-
| tiOus to obtain an education, he attended
school at the expense of the government
Il few years-received good common
school education. He then started out
for himself-was determined to become
better educated. He went from Wash
ington to Richmond and made applica-
ton to enter the university. He sue
ceeded in getting the privilege to attend,
and then looked about to find out
where his means were coming from
to pay his way through college
He then stated he obtained place where
he could chore for his board, also do jan
itor work about the college. In this way
he managed to pay his board and make
enough money to purchase clothes and
books while attending school. He took
up a four years classical course, but
owing to lack of time which was occuu
pied in manual work outside of school, it
took him five years to finish it. How
ever, he did not regret the "hard knocks"
he had in working his way through.
After conversing for some little time
about the Indians, Mr.. Botchtenter
switched off upon matters of domestic
nature. He stated he was united in mar
rage to young white lady of Richmond
early last fall, and as soon as he could |
prepare a home in the Sioux nation in |
Dakota he would send for her. Some |
people think it strange and shamefully |
wrong for an Indian to wed a white lady," |
said Mr.. Botchtenter, "but that is only |
a matter of prejudice. The young lady |
who is my wife entered the University of |
year after l did, graduating
when l did. She exhibited a particular |
foudness for me from the day we became
acquainted. She took special pains TO |
assist me in my studies; for it was often
| would go to her home for that special |
purpose. Her brothers and l were great
cronies.' We would go off on fishing ex-
petitions and there were very few mo-
ments that were not full of enjoyment.
So it seems that the recent romantic
in Dakota of Miss Fellows and
the Indian Chasks is not the only case
Of such miscegenatiOn.

Franc Wagner is laborer at tlft At

third street near the Gilpin hose house.
A few years ago Mr.. Wagner and n

himself at home and sent Mrs. Wagner's
little daughter to the basement to tell her
mother that "there was gentleman up
stairs who desired to see her" Upon en-
terlng the room the lady was confronted
by Chamberlain who made an indecent
proposal to her. The lady ordered the
scoundrel from the house, but he declined
to leave and she then TOOK her child and
left the room, and the intruder soon after
left.
When Wagner returned from his work
last night, his wife told him of Clauder

For the LegfsIature.

The fates seem to be against Bro.
Crawford, of Edgington, and if he gets to
the Legislature again he will have to do
some tall wire pulling, The ARGUS has
several times told Crawford of his danger,
but he seems TO think he has easy sailing
and pronounces the opposition to himself
mythical in the extreme. The latest as
pirant for legislative honors is Will g.
Whitehead, who says he intends to lay
Crawford on the shelf. He has been
chaperoned around Moline by leading
light in the party, and counts on the del~
egations of both cities. Meanwhile
Crawford is mapping in fancied security.
The Hon. William F. may find it to his
interest to go up to the upper end and
straighten out Bill Payne, as the dele
gates from Yuma township to the county
convention have been instructed for
Bill" for the legislature.

At late hour Monday night the rise in the
