They Were Playing Cowboys.

BURGETTsTowN, Pa, April six
boys, ranging in age from fifteen to
seventeen years, who had been reading
dime literature. went into barn to play
cowboy. During the play, one of the
lads, after boasting of his ability to
throw a rope around the neck of an
Indian and choke him to death, gave
his lassoo a sling. 1t chanced to fall on
the neck of little James Burley, who
started to run. The other boys held on
and the rope frightened around Jimmie's
throat. The others thought it was
great sport, and laughed at the strug-
giles of the little fellow to get free. This
lasted for some time. Finally the
mother of the boy appeared upon the
scene. She quickly released the little
sufferer, but too late to save his life.
He died within few minutes after be-
ing released,

A MORTGAGE FIGHT.
A Farmer and His Son Resist a
Deputy Sheriff.

GARY, OAK, April 1.-THE chattel
mortgage market was lively yesterday.
John Smith, with the assistance of a
deputy sheriff and five others, went to
the farm of John Lathrop, in Lac qui
Parle county, to get six head of stock on
which he had mortgage. The mortgage
was given by Robert Evans to secure a
debt of S25 to Smith, and as
Evans expected the mortgage would
be foreclosed, he gave bill of
sale of the whole herd to Lathrop, sub
ject to the mortgage. Lathrop held a
note against Smith and calculated to
turn matters and save his friend Evans
some of the stock. When Smith and
the officers arrived at Lathrop's they
commenced loading up the small flock.
Lathrop and his son soon came on the
scene and regular pitched battle fol-
lowed, in which pitchforks, neckyokes
and other weapons were used freely.
Lathrop and the boy held the fort for
over an hour, but finally were overpow-
cred and the stock was removed. The
Smith crowd were badly used up, and
will carry scars of the battle for many

Death in a. Well.

CHICAGO, April IA dispatch from
Palmyra, Mo-, says: Yesterday being
Arbor day, the teachers and scholars of
the public school started shortly after
dinner to the outskirts of the city to dig
up trees to transplant in the school
house yards. On reaching the old
Primrose place several of the children
who were in advance gathered around a
well and attempted to pump up some
water to drink. The planks on which
they stood gave way and fifteen of the
children were precipitated into the we'll,
containing five feet of water. By
means of a rope the teachers were sue
cessful in getting all but one out alive.
Arthur, the nine-year-old son of Mrs.
Lem Little, widow, was drowned.
Several others were inj jured.

LUCKY NUMBER.
No. 13 Draws a Prize in the Beauty
Contest at Minneapolis.

OOnUcSG M1nnedDOIfSs
Thirteen appears to be lucky num-
Der after all, at least with the prize
beauties, as little romance which has
just developed at Kohl Middleton q
Co.'s dime museum attests. The be-
witching brunette who was known to
the public as mo. IS" in the prize beauty
contest disappeared Thursday last.
Her name is Elmyra l.. Parle,, and she
is a Chicago damSel of French eXtrac
ton as her name indicates. With her
sister, Mrs. Hardgrave, she came to the
Twin cities under engagement with the
museum firm to dazzle the public with
her beauty. Her success as daZZler
can be estimated from the fact that
upon the very first day of her ap-
pearance at the st. Paul museum
she completely captivated Robert Don
nell, ieweler of that city. 1t was
case of love at first sight, evidently. He
was infatuated upon the Instant and in
spite of the watchfulness OF Mrs. Riv-
ers, the matrOn who has charge OF the
aggregation of female loyeliness, man
aged to get note to her which eX-
pressed his ardent admiration and a
desire to make her acquaintance.
He was accompanied by Lewis ELS
WOI I'll JOllCSs IL yOuuo deIolH HCy III CiIN
office of w. G. Goforth, 81 GLOBE build
ing. The courtship was brief one and
was carried on with some difficulty, for
only the mornings afforded opportuni-
ties for meetings. He was lavish
with his presents and his gifts
soon amounted to something like
$1,000 in value. Both Miss Parle
and her sister were at first inclined to
look upon his advances with suspicion,
but inquiry as to his character and
financial standing convinced them that
he was a man of honor. When the
beauties came to Minneapolis, Donnell
followed, and continued his courtship.
Wednesday evening they left the
Clark house together, and Thurs
day dispatch came from Hudson,
Wis, that they had been duly
married and were made happy.
1t need hardly be stated that the cpl
sode created quite c0mmOtion in the
flock of beauties, and "Allie's'' luck
was the chief subject of conversation
with them yesterday, while the public
regarded the empty chair of mo. 13''
with as much curiosity as If 1t contained
140 pounds of plump femininity. Miss
Parle is nineteen years old, and is an
orphan. She was formerly employed as
a saIeslady in a Chicago dry goods
store. Donnell is about twenty-eigbt
years old, and is said to be WidoWer OF
three years standing.

Mexican Tresspassers.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE secre-

from Gen. Bragg, United States minister
at the City of Mexico, inclosing a copy
of an order from the department of war
of Mexico, calling attention to the late
trespasses on the frontier by Mexican
troops, and saying that, despite the Sc
verify with which the law dealt with
the Nogales offenders in 1887, these vio-
lations of friendly territory still con-
tinue. Mexican troops, officers espec-
tally, are, therefore cautioned to be
more vigilant in the future, under pen

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

Several years ago the APPEAL
and several other papers in the
State advocated the election of u.
S. Senators by direct vote of the
people.
The method now in vogue has
been fruitful of great corruption in
the Legislature and brought dis
grace upon this State to such an
extent that the name "Rotten Bur-
rough" has gone all over the Union,
and now i'm the staid old States OF the
East, senatorial elections have re-
suited in the same bribery and cor
ruption as in the West. Congress
now proposes to change all this, a
Washington dispatch says:
Senators were surprised to hear
that the House Committee on Revis-
ion OF the laws were ready TO re-
port a joint resolution providing foI
choosing OF Senator's by popular
vote instead OF by State Legislature.
they had often heard that some
such proposition was pending, but
few of them thought it would come
TO head. Once in n while petit
tons come in asking for popular
Senatorial elections, but heretofore
they have passed unnoticed.
When Van Wyck was in the Senate,
sold Crazy Horse" used to startle
his colleagues by warning them
that a change was coming. He
was always laughed at. Now the
House Committee has actually |
agreed on report and will ask that
3 day be given to the subject. A
member of the committee Is quoted
rs saying: We nave agreed upon
this report only after careful
and painstakiug investigation of
the whole question. We believe
the change is demanded by the
people. If adopted it will add
much to the representative charac-
ter of the Senators, and viii do

State Senators come cheap In
Ohio. An attorney for Armour 4
Co; the cotton-seed lard kings,
asserts that three statesmen OF this
exalted rank approached him and
offered to kill an obnoxious bill for
$4,000. When this proposition was
declined they came down to 81 800,
or $500 apiece, and failed to make
a trade at that figure. There are
only thirty-six State Senators in
Ohio, and if they all average up to
sample the entire lot could be ac-
quired for s1S 900, or a clear ma
jority of $1,000. Possibly the ex-
PLANTATION of these singularly low
quotations may be that the Ohio
Legislature is composed OF a poor
quality of politicians, the members
of the better class being all candi-
dates for the Presidency.-Ex-

There is a likelihood that the

has been able to upset the plans OF
other parties, and is sufficiently a
