ia comes in. He can unite all the anti
Moody factions, and if he enters into the
CONTEST with his usual energy there can
be very little doubt that he can carry
Lawrence county as against Senator
Moody or any other man in the Hills.
He has never been candidate for any
Office, and while the boys in local mat
ters sometime complain about the fexi-
bility OF his spinal column, yet all know
that when Van gets warmed mp he fights
hard. II he makes fight be will have

The ADVERTISER learns that DR.. Flick
Of Rapid City is already laying plans
to capture the craftsmanship Of the demo-
cratic national COMMITTEES for Che cam
paign in 1892. The doctor is sanguine
that he can lead his party to victory.
Part Of his programme would be to ship
voters from Texas to Indiana, New
York and other doubtful states. A
brilliant scheme, and one that should be
"talked up"

is understood that the Judge will succeed
R. B. Hughes as editor of the Journal,
and that the paper will in the future
espouse the republican cause. We are
glad to welcome Mr.. Luse both as a
citizen ands brother Journalist.
Capt. G. v. Gasdner comes out with a
strong endorsement for Judge G. @. Ben
net to succeed Judge Thomas. The
captain thinks we should forgive and
forget" the past. This is charitable, to
say the least, but the ADVERTISER does
not believe in rewarding men for their
inidelity to the party. A premium
should not be placed upon mugwump-
ism.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2i.-A delegation num-

county, Illinois, called upon General Harri-
son this afternoon. Hon. Frank Wright,
spokesman of the delegation, read a long ad-
dress cengratulating General Harrison upon
his nomination, and reviewing his civil and
military record. General Harrison responded
in an appropriate speech. In the course of
his remarks he touched upon the importance
of absolute equality at the ballot box. He

Valuable silver A,incs Discovered In
MmshimGIOn Territory.

SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., July 24.-TSpccal
Telegram to THE BEE. The discovery of an
arch quartz mine six miles from the town of
Palouse, in the famous agricultural and
blue grass valley of the Palouse, has caused
much excitement in the ncighborhood. The
country along Ruby creek was once rich in
placer mines and it was while working on an
old claim that q miner named Ozark made
the discovery He was digging up earth to
wash in the suice boxes and when about six
feet below the surface he came upon IA broad
strata of quartz. All the assays yielded sill
YER and n small expedition set out for the
scene of the new discovery. A small guam
tity of the quartz was brought 10 Palouse and
when the assay reports gave seventytwo to
sevent-eight ounces pf silver the widest ex-
citement soon took possession of the people
Every man who could find q saddle horse
pick and shovel, crazed with the visions of
) mineral riches, dashed over the mountains
for the scene of the new discovery. In a
short time Palouse was deserted save the
women and children. Returning parties re-
port that fully 500 men are now on the
grounds, and very little digging brought the
happy owner of mine down upon the shin
ing metal. The ledge is fifteen feet wide and
is traCAl for distance of five miles. Disputes
and claim jumping have already commenced,
and this is the miners strongest argument in
favor Of Il rich discovery.

KEEPING EVERYTHING QUIET.

The Rig Meeting Begins.

ST. JosErH, Mo. July 24.-The Joint meet
ing of the locomotive engineers, tiromcn,
switchmen and brakemen to consider the
Burlington strike convened this morning at
9;30. About 200 delegates were present,
representing lodges in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. Great care has been
taken to keep the proceedings as quiet as
possible. This morning the committee which
was at work looking for spies found
n man sccretcd in the chandelier supports
with no clothes on excepting an undCrshrt
and pair of overhauls. His name is David
Replohel, shorthand writer in the employ
of Lancaster, Thomas Il Lowe, attorneys.
He was escorted down Il ladder amid the
yells of the brotherhood members, who be
lioved Replohel was PinkertCn detective.
He stated that he had been hired
by Jake W. Spencer, proprietor of the
journal of Commerce, to take the proceedings
of the convention in shorthand for his
paper He SAID he was TO be paid S!5 for the
work, and admitted that the stage carpenter
had shown him his hiding place. "A large
crowd gathered around him when he was
brought down on the stage, and but for the
interference of cooler heads Replohel would
have been roughly handled
He had taken "A lunch and bottle Of water
up to his hiding place, and was prepared to
remain there all day. He was marched to
the police station through the streets in his
bare feet, where he is still confined.
Charges were preferred against him this
afternoon. Great excitement prevailed
while Replohe was being taken from the
opera house whore the cOvention met, and
cries of "l'inkerton spy,n and ''scabn were
made by the delegates.
The impression of the legal profession here
is that Replohcl cannot be punished, as
there is no statute in Missouri concerning
methods of securing news for public print.
After the excitement subsidcd the cOnven-
tlon proceeded to business and elected
Frank L. Mcdonald, chairman of the local
grievance committee, permanent chairman.
The forenoon was spent IN spcech-mallng
and at l2:l5 the convention adjourned until {!
p. m. 1t is expected that the session will last
four days.
The afternoon session of the brotherhoods
failed to develop anything of interest. Most
of the time was spent by the leaders in ex
pressing their views concerning the situation
and in suggesting plans of procedure.

given TO weigh anchor. The anchor Of the
Hohenzollclm was raised at 0O, but owing
to her length and position she was long

until 30 that she passed under the stern
Of the Enterprise. Prince Henry was III

form, once more looked with interest at the
vessel with the stars and stripes prominent
amongst her gay lines of bunting, and the
Yankee sailors aloft on the yards. The Asia
began the final salute. The Enterprise took
it up and the white puis of smoke
followed by the thunder of guns gradually
extended to the forts ana down the Russian
lines in the outer roads. As the imperial
German yacht passed by, all the crews
cheered and the people on board the eXcur-

Central Iowa Visited BY Another
Terrible Storm.
GROWING CROPS TOTAL, YRUlNsp
Trees Torn Up by the Roots, Farm
Buildings Utterly Demolished,
and Many Herds of
Cattle Killed.
Storm swept Iowa.

WATERLOO, Ia, July 2i-ISpccial Tcle-
gram to TuE BEE The most extensive and
destructive hail and wind storm ever cNpcr-
Cnred IN central Iowa swept diUgonallv
across Tama and Gruudy counties Sunday
night. In Iama county the path of the
storm appeared TO be from two To four
miles wide and extended about eighteen
miles in length. In its path the crops are
totally destroyed. Trees were stripped Of
their leaves and bark aud many were blown
ont by the roots. Many farm buildings
were levclcd to the earth and school was
wrecked. After the storm the hail in many
deep. No lives were lost nor was anyone
places was from two to four inches
seriously injured, but many narrowly es-
capped death in falling buildings. II is hard,
not only on those who suffer directly. but on
merchants who have carried many farmers
accounts over from last year when they
they were cleared out by Chmch bugs.
In GrUndy county the storms track was
about five miles broad, where it ragged with
the most fury. In this path growing grain
was utterly demolished. Only bare stalks
remain where stood fine fields of corn. Sew
cral large barns were blown to pieces and
much stock was killed. The damage will
amount well up into the tens of thousands.
All the stock has been taken from the DESC
lated district to be fed and the stencil aris-
ing from the decaying vegetable matter
makes life burden to the inhabitants OF
that section.
1t has Just been reported that Just after
Sundays fierce storm III Hardin county q
barn belonging to Il German caught fire, and,
with twenty five tons of hay, some stock and
machinery, burned to the ground. Two little
children of the farmer have been missing
since, and it is thought that they persisted in
the burning barn.

Thc Brown Poisoning Case.

WATERLOO, July "a Special Telegram to
TnE BEE. The following in regard TO the
notorious Brown poisoning case at Clear
Lake is of special interest us containing
some points not brought out before, The
prevalent idea among Clear Lalcrs in regard
to the matter is that the poisoning was the
work of Mrs Brown. The history of the
case is about as follows:
About twelve years ago she came TO the
lake as II Summer visitor. She then formed
the acquaintance of Mr.. Brown, and in two
short weeks became hs wife. Her past his
tory is being siftcd, aud it has been found
that she has made poison aud its effects sort
Of study, and many things 90 to show that
she was the sort OF woman from whom
such deeds might be expected. Shn has left
her husband and hicd herself away to Ohio,
where her folks live. Another new phase of
the case is the admiration that she and tine
hired man had for each other aud in the in
vestigatlon of the case she had him testify
so as to throw the suspicion on MIR. Brown.
Another point which condemns her is that
she was the only one in the family who did
not get dose of poison. When the stom-
achs of the poisoned persons were sent to
Chicago for investigation she was very un-
easy, ana objected to its being done. A
few days before the poisoning, which
occurred last winter, she was visiting
at one of the neghbors and was knitting
q pair of STOCKINGS, when she made the re-
mark that that would probably be tie last
stocking she would ever need TO knit for her
children. 1t occurred about a year ago. One
of the children was bathing in the lake and
1t came near drowning with its mother close
by it, where she could have easily secured it,
which showed plainly that she wanted it out
of the way. The investigation is still going
on in quiet way, with the general belief
that Mrs. Brown is the guilty party.

firms of this city have brought suits against
the Rock Island road for sums equal to the
rebates which it is alleged the road gave
other firms in their shipments a few years

entitled to as much rebate as those firms
that received it. The transactions referred
to are alleged to have taken place between

TIE TARIFF BILL.
a Probability That There Will BE No
Report to the senate.

WAsHINGroN, July 24.-There was n full
meeting of the senate finance committee this
morning and an hour was devoted to the in
formal discussion of the line of action in re-
gard to the tariff. Nothing was determined,
but at the time of adiourning there was an
understanding that the republican majority
of the committee would get together and see
if an agreement could not be reached in re
gard to Il measure to be submitted as "a sub
stitute for the Mills bill. If successful in
this measure is likely TO be laid before the
republican caucus. and when shaped to meet
any conflicting views which may be devel-
opcd there, it will be laid before the demo-
Gratis of the finance committee ana by them
before the democratic caucus for the consd-
GRAFTON of a line of policy on their part.
The republican members of the committee
remained in conference nearly an hour after
their democratic colleagues withdrew, and
during the afternoon there were frequent
conferences with other republican senators
and with republican members of the house.
AS result the opinion is gaining hcadway
that there will be no report on the tariff bill
at this session, but that the subcommittee
will continue its work during the recess.
Should the republicans adopt this course d
final adjournment of the session may be eX-
pected within three weeks.
Among propositions which have been
suggested as possibly to be considered by the
republican senator's is the one to bring in a
resolution instructing the tariff sub commit
| tee to continue its hearings and its study of
the subject during the recess by hearing
representatives of the industries of agricul-
turc and labor, and 10 frame bill which
shall be has ID upon fdir protection principles,
| to be reported to the senate at the next
session. The proposition contempates fixing
| in the resolution the minimum of reduction
which the committee shall aim to secure, as
well as making the measure a special order
| with exclusive right of way until it shall be
perfected and passed by the senate.

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.
Indians Inclined to Treat the Com
missinn With COntempt.

ST PAUL, July 24.-A special from Stand
ing Rock agency says that excitement on the
reservation was intense to-day. A few In
dians seem inclined to hear what the mem
bers Of the commission have to say, but the
most of the chiefs even refuse to take the
circulars printed in Sioux explaining the
terms of the treaty. Chief Gall, who took a
leading part in yesterdays Indian council,
says tonight that he will not sign, and no
chief except Running Antelope can be found
who will admit that he can be induced to
sign. The Indians are holding another all
night council, The most OF them refuse to
talk until Sitting Bull returns. He is eX-
pected tomorrow. A strong effort will be
made to induce him TO sign. The half breed
element is active against the treaty. Chiefs
Mad Bear John Grass, Big Head and Gall
have been selected by the Indians TO speak
for them tomorrow. The argument of the
Indians is that white men have, more land
now than they use

BANCROFT, Neb., July 2I.--lS Special TO The
BEE Lieutenant Mallery and detach-
ment of soldiers, who were detailed about
month ago to investigate the complaints
made by the Winnebago Indians that the
herders on the reservation were trespasslng
on unleascd lands, have completed their
investigations, Some of the smaller herders
whose stock were allowed to run promiscu-
ously, were ordered off the reserve. The
larger herds will remain for the present un-
less further complaint is made. The enclosed
pastures, the leases for which are approved
by the interior department, will not be mo.
Tested. Parties running these herds should
be extremely careful not to allow their cattle
to trespass on Indian crops, as any further
trouble would probably cause a general evic-
ton of the herds, which would be very dis
astrous, notonly to the hcrders, but to stock
men throughout the entire northeastern por-
tiOn Of Nebraslka and Westeln Iowa.
