Log Cabin Logic.


Drawn and Brain!
The powerful engine, with its wonderful
propelling power, coupled to the long train
null freighted with the richest fabrics OF the
intellectual looms Of the centuries-whaH
obstacles can stay the progress OF this
mighty force, when once under fun steam
along LIES highwayl
The American with Drawn and brain doea
not see the Necessity for titles Of nobility,
does not care for elevation by descent, hoi
can reach out and pluck the stars.
But with Drawn or brain impaired, man
IL badly handicapped in the mad race for
success which is the marked characteristic
of the present age.
The physical system Is q most intricate
piece Of machinery. 1t ought to be kept
well regulated, so that it will work har-
moniously in all its parts, then it is capable
Of an immense amount OF work.
It is said that watch, If expected to keep
perfect time, must be wound daily. 1t viii,
not keep good time unless it runs regu-
lar" More men break down because they
don't "run regular'' than for any other
reason.
1t is claimed by physicians that few men
are killed by hard work. It is 10 the irregu-
larities of modern social life that the high
death rate is due. Men burn their candle
at both ends, then wonder why it burns out
so quickly.
The main thing in keeping the human nsse
chine in good working order is to keep the
regulator all right. 'SThe blood is the life"
and sound health is assured so hong as the
blood flows through the veins q impid
stream Of purity.
Regulate the regulator with Warmers Log
Cabin sarsaparilla, the old fashioned blood
purifier, prepared after the best formula in
use by our ancestors in good old Log Cabie
days, and with the vigor Of Drawn and brain
which mustensue, in your LIES lexicon yoa

A Young Man Shockingly Injured While
Being Driven on Train.
BRUNSWICK, Mo-, Oct. 13.-Leonidas
Bowersmith, the twenty five year old son
of a prosperous farmer living north of
here, was hor1 IDLY mutilated by an east
bound freight on the Wabash Thursday
night about six miles west of this city. If
the reports concerning the casualty are
correct the conductor and brakeman of
the train were guilty of inhuman:ty and
their conduct should be looked into,
not only by the officials of the
road but also by the officers OF the
law. Bowersmith and some other young
men were stealing ride in box car from
Dewitt to Brunswick. They were discov-
cred and the conductor and brakeman
climbed down into the car and began to
beat and kick them, compelling them to
jump of the cars while in motion. Some
report that Bowersmith was knocked back.
ward out of the car. At any rate he was
thrown under the wheels of the moving
train and his arm and leg torn of and
other frightful injuries inflicted which will
prove fatal. He is alive, but there is NO
hope for his recovery.

al these-a blot upon the fair fame of that
State-they have managed to keep control Of
that State. And by having the real estate
owned largely by few large land holders who
refuse to sell to honest foreigners desiring to

State. It is the only State in the Uni n where
such an outrage has heretofore been perpetrat-
ed. am aware that some of the gentlemen who

fond of coming West and coming to New York
to tell our foreign born citizens how they ought
to vote, but I think that II Mr.. Blaine had
wanted to do something for foreign born citizens
he might, year or two ago, have stopped in
that State and told his Republican brethren
that they ought to do justice to the foreign born
citizens before coming West to tell foreign bora
citizens here how they ought to vote. IGreat
applause.1
For these reasons, my friends, we have no ex-
pectation that this bill will pass the Senate of
the United States. do not propose this even
ing to discuss the merits of their bill which
they propose as substitute for it in the SEN
ate. I simply say they have presented this
issue too late Whatever merit there may be in
that bill, whether there is any or not, do not
propose now to discuss. But whatever merit
there may be in their bill the people and the
taxpayers of this country are indebted to the
Democratic party because they have forced the
fighting upon this question. (Applause.1

A GRANT COUNTY WAR.

A County Scat Contest Leads to More
TrOuble-Ulysses and App0mattox at
War.
GARDEN CITY, Kan, Oct. 19.-Latest re-
ports from Grant County are that Ulysses
received clear majority Of 2,15O over all
Tuesday. The rival towns were Ulysses,
Appomattox, Golden, Shockeyville and
Spurgeon.
The residents of Appomattox accuse
General T. T. Taylor and Colonel j. A.
Grayson, of Hutchinson, who are members
of their town company and who managed
the campaign for them, of selling them
out, and mob of irate citizens captured
them and threatened them with violence,
but the sheriff and posse rescued them.
Colonel Grayson, who was in this city
yesterday, said that the Appomattox
and Ulysses town companies entered into
articles of agreement that no "boodle''
should be used, the forfeit in case of vio-
lation to be $4,000. About three O'Clock
on election day, it is alleged, the Ulysses
people commenced using their money
lavishly to buy votes. This so enraged
the Appomattox people that they at once
seized General Taylor and Colonel
Grayson and put them under guard.
Threats of lynching were freely
made and they were forced to assign
to the leaders of the mob the agree
ment with the Ulysses Town Company,
and to give warranty deeds to all the
property they owned in Appomattox or
elsewhere. Not content with this checks
aggregating $4,000 on every bank in
which the two were supposed to have
money were presented, and the prisoners
signed them without a murmur. They
made written acknowledgment at the sug-
gestion of the mob that their action was of
khoir f.oo mic rl,<l
by nine friends, they went to Hartland,
where they boarded the train.
Payment of all the checks has been
stopped by telegraph and proceedings will
be commenced to set aside the deeds they
signed at the request" of their captain.
General Taylor is now at Larkin while
Colonel Grayson has gone to Hutchinson.
They consider themselves lucky to have
escaped with sound necks.
1t is thought the mob has gone on to
Ulysses to make an attempt to collect the
10000 forfeit and war is feared.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct 15.-The follow
ing letter was written to Edwin Taylor,
chairman of the Democratic county COM
mittee of this county:
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Oct. 13.-You called my
attention to-day as was leaving Evansville to
the statement of Mr.. Blaine in his speech at
Goshen. Ind, in which he says: THE president
of the sugar trust (Mr. Havemeyer), a we'll
known Democrat of New York, appeared be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee and &C
cording to the statement made in the open
Senate by Mr.. Allison, of Iowa, obtained such q
rate OF duty was equivalent to 86 600 900 in the
pockets of the trust. IT, therefore. the price has
been unduly advanced to the consumer, the 70
sponsible parties according to the Presidents
doctrines are the President himself and the
Ways and Means Committee, who concocted
the Mills bill In the interest Of that trust" The
statement OF Mr.. Blaine is devoid of truth. Mr.
Havemeyer never appeared before the Ways
and Means Committee at all. He never OBJ
tanned any arrangement by which g, 600, 600 was
put into the pockets OF the sugar trust The
sugar trust was formed under the existing
tarin made by the Republican party in 1883 and
when the bill. recently passed by the House.
was laid before the Ways and Means Com
mittee for its action every one OF the five Re-
publican members Of that committee voted to
strike out the reduction we proposed and con-
tinue the tariff rates under which the trust was
formed Yours truly. r. Q. Mills

CALAIS, Oct, 1.-THE force of the exc
.plosion of petroleum yesterday on board
the steamer Vile de Calais, which arrived

tore of the deck and carried away her
sides. Only the forward portion of the
vessel sank and the fire is raging iercely
in that portion above water. The vessel il
lying at the upper dock. Other shipping
lying in the vicinity of the steamer was
much damaged by the explosion. 1t is
feared that the loss of life was great. Por-
tions Of a dozen bodies have been found
lying ON the quays, arms, legs and heads
being scattered about in shocking confu-
sion. The Vile de Calais was q steel screw
steamer Of ], 221 tons.
