GOT IT IN The NECK,
Continued From First PAGE.

continued FROM EIrSC rage
arrived at 1910 o'clock, while the sec
Onds were exploring the garden search
ing for convenient spot for the duel.
M. Fl0quet,
WITHOUT BETRAYING ANY EMOTION,
walked to and fro cOnyerSing with
friends. At the same time, Gen. BOu-
LANCER, with an ObtruSive affection of
Indifference kept twirling his walking
stick about and consulting his watch as
though impatient to begin fighting.
There was a large crowd inside the
grounds, including M. Grognon. one of
the heads of the police officers. and NJ.
Floquet'S secretary. At 1920 o'clock
M. Laisant, who directed the duel,
brought together the points of the
swords and delivered the word of COM
mand. Gen. Boulanger Immediately
made vigorous lunge at nj. Floquet,
wounding him slightly on the left
thigh. The combatants were imme-
diately separated, when it was found
that BOulanger's right forefinger
was Scrat he'd. In the second round,
BOulanger advanced with extreme viO-
lence to the attack. Floquet stood on
the defensive and wounded the general
full in the chest with the sword point
and with a thrust in the neck. The
wounds bled profusely. Boulanger of
fored to fight on, but was prevented.
AS he walked to the house, the seconds
supporting him, he looked faint. His
shirt front was covered with blood.
FLOQUET WAS SCARCELY WOUNDED
at all. BOulanger's sword did not pene-
trate below the skin. Many anxious
friends greeted Floquet at the home
office after his return. Madame Carnot,
all the members of the ministry, Nj.
Ferry and his wife and the project of
the police congratulated NJ. FlOquet,
and before noon nearly all the re-
publican members of the chamber
left their cards at the office
of the ministry of the interior.
There is no doubt that Gen. BOnlanger'S
condition is serious. NJ. FlOquet's
sword penetrated to a depth of two
inches between the jugular vein and the
carotid artery, severing the phrenic
nerve and imparing the play of the
lungs, perhaps irrecoverably. Anti
septic treatment has been resorted to.
The general slept during the afternoon
under the influence of morphine. Pros
tratiOn was succeeded by feverishness,
and at times the wounded man gasped
for breath.
DR.. Laffe believes that matters will
progress favorably and that Gen. Bou-
LANCER will be cured in fortnight. He
says, however, that there is danger of
complication, and that phlebitis of the
neck is possible, which would endanger
the wounded mans life. The doctors
consider it miracle that Boulanger es-
capped directly mortal wound. The
general is suffering much pain.

CREMATED UNDER GROUND.
The De Beers Diamond Mine Hor-
rOr.-- Hundreds of Fatalities

fOf-.- II utiufeltS OF FaEailIlGS.
CAPE Town, Africa, July 13.-The
De Beers mine, in Kimberly, the
scene of the fire Wednesday night, has
been explored by party of searchers.
Twenty-four whites and 200 natives
were found to have been burned to
death.
Forty-three whites and 400 natives
have been rescued from the mine.
The cause of the terrible calamity was
as follows: While the shifts were being
changed the hauling wire broke and the
skip rushed down the shaft with fright
full rapidity. The old lamps were
broken. and the blazing fluid quickly
ignited the wooden casing of the shaft.
Flames in great volume shot up the
shaft, completely preventing egress.
The mine was soon filled
with smoke. and the lights carried
by the miners were rendered useless,
The panic-stricken natives and whites
in their efforts to escape, became
massed together in the galleries and
were suffocated to death. The rescuers
who subsequently explored the mine
were compelled to use dynamite to clear
the passages of eorpSes. 1t is believed
that 800 lives were lost by the disaster.
The damage to the mine is estimated at
100000.

DRINKING UP THE SURPLUS

Senator PLUMB mas found new use
for the surplus. He asks an appropIi ia
ton from congress of $4,000 to erect
public drinking fountain in the cap
itol building at Washington. If the
fountain is designed for the accommo-
dation of the curious crowds who visit
the capitol one will do, but if it is i'll
tended for the use of the mem
bers of congress one fountain wouldn't
be a starter. Your average congress
man is an exclusive ANNA, land opposed
to having things in common. Each
congressman would want his own prl-
yate fountain, provided, of course, at
government expense, and he would
want it gilt-edged. Even if he were
satisfied with common $4,000 fount-
ain it would cost over S4,0O0,000 to sup
ply all congressman with drinking fount-
aims. After all, this would be more
innocent way to eXpend the surplus
than some of the plans that are pro-
posed.

BOULANGER'S DUEL.

Gen. BoULANGER, if he has accom-
pliShed nothing else in his career, has
at least demonstrated that the French
duel has something beside comic and
theatrical side. His encounter yester-
day with FLoQUET. who represents the
idea of civil government, as BoULANGER
represents the idea of militarism. will
doubtless give him less exalted opinion
of the essential nature of the military
idea in the conduct of the French gov
eminent and more respectful opinion
of the civil authorities.
BoULANGER sought row and he got it.
The fact that he got the worst of it will
be the most severe blow his prestige
among his countrymen has ever re-
ceived. The French dearly love to
glorify hero. Their heroes, however,
with singular unanimity, are apt to be
found on the winning side. There is
nothing to be gained Icy fighting the
battles of the defeated, and that is pretty
nearly the disposition of human nature
the world over.
BoULANGER represents the one idea
of the eXaltation and glorifcation of
self. He lacked the essential qualities
of the true patriot; he possessed moth
ing of the statesman. His elevation as
the idol of the people was attended with
menace to the lives and liberty of the
very people who glorifed him. Fallen
from his high e-andcomplete down
fall is likely to be the consequence of
his disastrous duel-he will no longer be
a factor for good or evil.
The French people can well afford to
be deprived of his presence with regard
to the first contingency, in order to be
relieved of the danger involved in the
second. BoULANGER has had his day.
Who will be the next candidate for
popular idOlatry?

Chairman Faithorn Fixes q Date
When All Irregularities in Rates
Should Be at an End.
CHICAGO, July 13.-Chairman Fait-
horn, of the Western and Northwestern
Freight association has advised lines
doing business between Chicago and
Council Bluffs that irregularities in the
rates on business originating in the East
ought to cease so as to prevent further
decentralization in rates. The reduction
now in effect was made from 67 cents to
So cents, first class. These low rates
have been granted for the last ten days.
Mr.. FaithOrn refers to the special
agreement. entered into looking to
the preservation of rates on
Eastern traffic to and from Council
Bluffs, Omaha and Sioux City. He
thinks it advisable, in order to insure
uniformity, that some date be estab-
lished when all irregularities must be
at an end. AS ten days. notice is nee
eSSary to advance rates and as some
little time will be required to cOmmuni-
cate with the Eastern agencies, and to
admit of the publication of such tariffs
as may be necessary, it should be un-
derstOod that under the agreement en-
tered into that for no cause should there
be on and after July q any rates at
variance with the agreed figures as pub
liShed by the chairman's office. The
tariff rates are to apply irrespective of
the origin of the freight.

CINCINNATI, July 13.-The grand jury
has not made its final report, and will
not do so before tomorrow, and even
then its action will not be made known
until the indicted persons are arrested.
Therefore there. is no official informa-
ton regarding the Indictment of Henry
O. Ives and r. A. McDannold, who have
figured in Cincinnati, Hamilton d Day
ton affairs. 1t seems to be tolerably
certain that McDannold has been in
dicted for perjury. He brought suit for
injunction, in which he charged that the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road
was insolvent, and that the directors
were about to sell the Cincinnati, Rich
mOnd IL Chicago road to buy stock for
their individual use. 1t was shown
that they had but a trif1ing interest in
the road, if any at all, and that he had
no knowledge of the financial standing
of the company. AS to Ives, if any in
dictment is found against him it Will be
based upon his connection with bonds
of the road, which came into his pos
session, and the charge would be en-
beZZlement or larceny.

rlety or shapes and styles. The most
popular Republican badge is a
small, cloth-covered button, which
sells for 10 cents, and is intended
to be worn on the lapel of the coat.
The button is covered with small flag,
and is attached to the garment by pin.
The Cleveland button is made of
pearl-like substance, and has the pOr
trait of the president on top. There is
also a Harrison button, covered with
flag, across which the name of the can
didate is printed. A Cleveland emblem,
which is quite popular, has the words,
ga public Office is public trust"
around the candidates picture. The
larger badges, both Republican and
democratic, are similar in design to
those which have been worn i'm former
years. The upper part of the badge
represents the American eagle, with
spread wings, to which is fastened, by
means of red, white and blue ribbon,
a star-shaped framework containing
the portraits of the candidates for presi-
dent and vice president.
There are Cleveland watch charms,
with the picture of Grover on one side
and that of the old Roman on the other:
Harrison and Morton charms, Harrison
and Morton sleevebuttOns and Cleve-
land and Thurman sleevebuttons. Some
of these are of quite artistic designs,
though of course all are cheap. A mon
ogram of the letters 81 and M or T or
the same letters printed across the mid
die of the button are among the most
common styles. Far more attractive,
however, are the cuffbuttons with flags
forming portion of the design. Many
of the different badges and buttons are
made in PittSburg, and one enterpriSing
retail establishment is not only making
buttons for its own trade, but is selling
large quantities to other dealers.
Campaign hats and campaign neck
ties have already made their appear
ance. while campaign shirts are prom
ised later in the season. The Harrison
hat is of light pearl color, with black
band and black trimmings; the Cleve-
land hat is similar in color, but the
band and trimmings are light. The
price of these hats range from 50 to 81.
They are in good demand, but by no
means as much sought for as the cheaper
sort of campaign goods. Neckties of
red, white and blue and bandana pat
terms are shown in several stores, but
they don't seem to suit the popular
taste and are little worn as yet. But
the way bandanaS, flags, buttons and
badges sell is something altogether I'M
precedented. 1t seems as if every boy
and man in Ramsey county had deter
mined to show his colors this year and
make plain to all his acquaintances ex-
actly what his political principles are.
