Johnny Ferguson and wife spent the
last part of last week visiting with the
parents Of Mrs. Ferguson at Smith
wick. They have we'll earned a short
vacation and a few days of recreation
by the close attention to business which
the good patronage the Ferguson
House has had during tho fall had
made necessary. In this connection
we might add that the Ferguson House
will not be closed this winter as it was
last. which is an evidence of the popu-
larity of the house and also of the fact
that there is much more hotel business
here than aver before at this season of
the year.
Elsewhere in this weeks STAR is a
clipping from the Dubuque Herald
upon the Australian ballot box system.
Its an excellent synopsis of the plan Of
this system. AS this plan of conduct
ing elections is being discussed with a
view to general introduction we invite
a pcrusal of the article. At first it
seems that the plan is unwieldy but in
Massachusetts where it was tried last
fall the contrary was demonstrated to
be the fact, This system it will readi.
ly be seen will do away in a great meas
ure with the nerniclous poll worker.
A secret ballot is what we want and the
Australian system comes the nearest to
securing that result as any thing yet
suggested.
Every indication points to a big
boom for Hot Springs next year. New
houses are being begun every week,
late as it is in the season. Many of
them cannot be completed this winter,
and many more are projected for next
spring. Early in the season the STAR
predicted that fifty houses would be
built in 1889. The round up OH Dec.
3lst will demonstrate that the STAR is
a pretty fair guesser. Now perhaps
ION the dead" you would like some
inside figures on improvements in
1880. Well the STAR dislikes very
much to give it away" but confden-
TALLY we will say that 1890 will beat
1889 Or any other is hundred in the
history of Hot Springs. Remember
this is strictly ION the Dead" as those
eastern fellows with their money will
want to come out here and '.catch on"
before things "take a rise" The STAR
wants II home boys to get ION the
inside and 1T is for their benefit only
that this information is given.

AFTER GORDON.
BENNETT PLUEGES INTO AFRICA
The Editor Of the Herald" Starts on a MyS.
tsriOuS Trip.
TWO GUESSES At HIS PURPOSE.
Is 1t Only Wager, or is Gordon Still
Alive?

NEW YORK, May 1S.-New York news
paperdom and the great clubs are excited
over the late news from Europe that
James Gordon Bennett, the proprietor of
the New York Herald, has gone to Khar-
toum, the capital of the Mahdi. He left
Paris three weeks ago, went to Marseilles,
then 70 Alexander and Cairo. Stories
have been cabled over over in explanation
of this singular journey. One is that at
the Club Mereton in Paris one night-an
organization which resembles tho famous
Eccentric Club of Jules Verne in the char
acter of many of the members-an officer
who had seen service in the Egyptian
army said that it was impossible for any
foreigner TO enter Khartoum aud depart
alive. A discussion arose in which were
cited the many instances of clever Eu-
ropeans who had disguised themselves and
in this garb penetrated the most intolerant
cities Of the Moslem world.
1t eliminated with Bennett, who was
taking an active part in the conversation,
declared that anyone possessing sufficient
brains and money could visit the Mahdi
and return unseathed, and offered heavy
wager that he could himself do ii within
the period of six months. The bet was
promptly accepted, and Bennett, accom-
panied by an intimate frierd, started
forthwith upon the hazardous journey.
The other story is far more startling.
On the evening in question, at the club
mentioned, Bennett receiVed long dis
patch from Cairo correspondent, stating
that he had just received q visit from an
envoy of the Mahdi with important news
regarding Chinese Gordon.
1t was stated of Gordon that the latter
was still alive and kept a close prisoner,
that the new Mahdi, by reason of his re-
verse on the Kordisn and the Bahr-Al-
Ghazil, and his less OF the great province
OF Durfur. was willing to ransom Gordon
for million francs. The next few days
Bennett made all arrangements for the triI
and for the payment of the vast sum men
toned, and with an intimate friend sci
out for Egypt.

ceedings extended until sp early hour this

Edward L Carey, and the delegates fIom

wrapgling continued for hours and 1t was
apparent that the outside delegates would
insist upon having the National delegate

delegates finally withdrew Carey and put
in Lawrence Kelly, who was elected.
Patrick Dugan was elected National Sec
retary, and John ]. O'0sllshsn, of Chi
cago, National Treasure. The conven-
tion adjourned sine die II daylight this
morning,
The most importsnt action by the con-
vention was the appointment OF com
mittee to confer with committee OF the
other wing of the organization and try and
effect a union. The conference committee
have power to appoint spsrson who shall
scl as an arbitrator, ans s0ae decision on
disputed points shall be tiDal. The arbi-
traitor will be a clergyman, and the pros
pects for reunion of both branches Is en-
couragiDg.

NEW YORK, May 18.-The funeral of

DEMOCRATIC MONTANA.
The Result Of the Election for Delegates
In Detail

The Result of the Election for Delegates
HELENA, Mon, May lS.-Tuesday s
election for delegates to the Constitutional
Convention shows that the embryo State is
safely Democratic. A conservative esti-
mate gives the Democrats 80 and the Re-
pubhcans "a members Of the convention.
Two of the Democrats are Independents,
giving a working majority Of three. Not
enough returns have been received to en-
able q clear Judgment to be formed of the
relative strength of the two parties on the
popular vote. There are cases in which
party lines were wholly ignored, and
where a consideration of the fitness of men
bsd far more TO do with the outcome than
politics. II the Democrats elected but
one delegate in the Eighteenth district,
which is doubtful, it was on account Of
the unpopulsrity of one of the delegates.
RepOrts from Madison county, while
very meagre, give ground for the supposi-
ton that the Democrats have elected two
delegates. The Twelfth district will be
represented by one Democrat, one Repub-
licAn and one Independent who has always
affiliated with the Democrats on strictly
party issues. Mr.. Breene, representative
Of the labor element in the Wickes district,
will probably act with the Democrats
The result in Beayerhead county is in
doubt, but the delegation will probably be
composed of two Republicans and one
Democrat. Fergus county has not been
heard from. except one OF two precincts.

The Samoan Conference Has Little Lett
to Settle.
BERLIN, May 18.-The fourth session Of
the Samoan conference, which was held
Yesterday, took place in the small room OF
the Department of Foreign Affairs. The
proceedings were almost entirely formal.
They consisted chiefly in listening to the
reports of the various sub committees, who
have been holding daily sessions ever since
the conference met. While the greatest
secresy in regard to the proceedings is
maintained, and heretofore nothing much
heyoud the fact that the meetings have
been held was known, it can now be stated
that excepting the question of indemnity for
sailors killed, and held by the Samoans,
and one or two other minor points, the
work of the Commission is about over. 1t
ia also more than likely that the Commits
sion has decided in favor Of the absolute
independence of Samoa, as soon as the
people there demonstrate their ability to
90 alone. The indemnity question, it yet

of the Conference for some weeks, but this
is believed to be the only point on
which there is likely to be any serious diff
ference,

$4,000 DAMAGES.
A Prominent Methodist Minister IS Compensated for
Defamation Of His Character-A
Celebrated Suit Settled.


Special Telegram 10 the Sunday Register
CLARKsBURG, May 18. An interesting
slander suit was tried in this city yester-
day. 1t was brought by Rev. J. W. Hol-
len, now of Buckhannon, against Thos. B.
Fox, of this county, the damages being
laid at $1,000. 1t seems that Fox had
heard that Rev. Hollen, who had charge
of the Methodist Protestant Church at
Cherry Camp, had invited one Rev. Geo
NJ. Warde, of Fleming;On, to assist him In
the conduct of a wedding at that place.
Fox wrote Wsrde letter derogatory OF the
character OF Hollen, which was offered In
evidence on the trial, the contents OF
which are not of character for publication.
The Jury, after a short deliberatlOn, re-
turned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for the sum of 50, 900 damages.
