"A Child Freak TalSon from Its Inlhuman

A remarkable freak of humanity was
anearthed the other day by Agent Hutch

stories OF child that was kept by Its
parents In the barn with the cattle, fed and
treated like an animal, had been tho
theme of the simple folk on the farms
about Newport and Pigs Eye for year
past. Agent Hutchins heard these weird
tales, and resolved upon an investigation.
Accompanied by a mounted officer and
armed with a search warrant he drove the
other morning to the forty-acre farm of
Frank Surabuski, two miles south of Pigs
Eye, where the neighbors said the "animal
child" was kept In the barn sleeping on
a pile of straw, between two COWS, they
found child, apparently about nine years
old, tied by rope around it's neck to the
same post with the COWS. The only garment
on the little thing was piece of gunny sack
fastened about the shoulders and reaching
to the waist pot which had contained
Cruel and remnants of black biscuit lay in
the straw beside the freak The child was
brought to the city and taken to the hos
pital, where Doctors Wheaton and Oneker
held an examination. The formation be-
low the waist is peculiar, and there is no
record in the medical works of any thing
like it Many physicians who called at the
hospital during the afternoon examined the
child, and all are of the opinion that no
similar deformity ever existed The child
is as Intelligent as its seven brothers and
sisters are, and talks the Polish language flu
emily. Surabuski and his wife are ignorant,
superstitious persons, and have regarded
their offspring as an evil spirit. The child
has always been kept in the barn with the
cattle, and has never been permitted to as
sociate with its brothers and sisters

An autopsy was held the other day on the
remains of Andrew Hansen, who died
rather suddenly at Minneapolis. Hansen
and his wife lived there together and quar-

that, while senile debility was the return Of
death, it looked as if he died of starvation.

The New States and the Flag.

There is, perhaps, a technical question
whether the admission of the new States
is so far accomplished by the mere en-
abling Act that their representative
stars may properly be placed on the flag
for the approaching Fourth of July. 1t
is not probable, however, that the ques-
ton will ever assume any practical i'm
portapce. The older States of the
Union will not be apt to cavil on points
of etiquette in the welcome with which
they meet their new sisters, or to sticklf
on the exact location of the threshold
The field of forty-two stars may not be
legal for Federal agencies until next
year, but there is assuredly nothing il.
legal in the prior recognition by States
and private persons of the practical re-
lations of the new States to the remain,

would be at the worst but brief and
passing irregularity. aud thai 10 hardly

the Threshing Machines then
in use were almost wholly of
the class known as the Endless
Apron" style. Then it was that
Nichols & Shepard, of Battle
Greek, Mich. ,inventedandbegan
to develop an entirely new and
novel style of Grain Thresher and
Separator, which they very appro-
priately named the "Vibrator."
1t was a revolution in Thresh-
ing Machines, and from a small
beginning of five machines in
1858 they soon reached pro-
duct of 1000 yearly.
Their Vibrator drove the End
less Apron" machine out of mar
ket, and all other makers copied
it as closely as they dared. To-
day all Threshing Machines of
any reputation or merit use the
principles of the old Vibrator.
Nichols & Shepard have con-
tinued in the business without
change of name, location, or
management; and during the
past three years have brought
out and developed another new
Threshing Machine for grain and

Hon. II. c. WHEELER has advanced
to the letter writing stage of his candi-
dacy. He communicated his opinion Oh
the transportation subject to Mr., F. c.
Let's. of Marshalltown, one of the
heaviest Jobbers in Iowa, in the follow
ing manner; "The railway interests in
our state are very large and important
factors in its development, and no fair
minded man would advocate measures
which would deprive them of the same
Just and fair treatment which is ac-
corded to other interests. At the same
time am thoroughly satisfied it is right
that they are, and should be, controlled
by the laws of the state. This right OF
control should be exercised firmly and
wisely. The agricultural, mercantile,
manufacturing, mining and all other in
terests demand that only just and fail
rates of freight. be charged. The railway
legislation of the general assembly has
in my judgment, been of great benefit
to Iowa interests in protecting them
against the determinations that inter
fered with their prosperity under the
old system, and Iowa trade is gradually
drifting into the hands of Iowa men
where it rightfully belongs. j am GLAD
there is now no reason why our statt
can not have diversified industries, for
as stated in my last annual address az
president of the state Agricultural So
ciety: "We shall never arrive at sat
fsfactory plane until we have manu-
featuring, mercantile, mining and othel
Industries in our state to employ people
enough to consume all of our surplus
product. When we arrive at such |
point in our development Iowa will in
deed be a great state"
The law and commissioners rate
SHOULD be given fair trial, and SHOULD
time discover defects they can he easil,
cured; but in doing SO care should b,
exercised that no backward step be tax
en-. Our people desire such rates only
.as are just and reasonable. and win and
should submit to nothing less. Witt
this rs basis, our law in regard to rail
way control by the state should be hon
astly enforced and clieerfully obeyed.'

THE CoNEMAUGH DISASTER.

An article on the first page of TIE
REPUBLICAN, recites many Of the de-
tails of the most distressing disaster
that has been recorded in many years.
In manner it is unprecedented and only
equaled in consequences by the un
authenticated reports of floods in the
Flowery Kingdom.
BY the heavy storm that prevailed in
Pennsylvania Friday night and the
breaking of the dam in Conemaugh
Lake between 1000 and 10000 human
lives were lost and an inestimable
amount of property. Although this es-
innate seemed extrayagant at first, it
has been maintained after six days of
search. 1t is fearful to contemplate,
but seems to lie as accurate as an esti-
mate can be made at this time.
The extended reports of the disaster
contains Rotations of heart rending
incidents, deeds of bravery and coward
ice on the part of those in positions of
authority, but it is creditable to human
nature that the former are in vast ma
jority.
Conemaugh Lake is the largest arti
fical body of water in the world. 1t has
been used in recent years as the sum
mer rendesvouz of club, composed
largely of millionaires, so select thai
their hospitality was only extended t.
members or those introduced by them
The masonry of the confines had beer
condemned by inspectors rs unsafe, bu
repair had boen neglected, though i
may be doubted if human agency coult
have protected the people from tn
flood of its waters aggravated as the,
were on the night in question.
The urgent needs of the survivors
whose Office is to perform the last sa'
rites for the thousands dead, is assis
lance from the outside. They are i'm
poverished and need everything that
required in health and great deal tina
will be needed in sickness consequent
upon hardship and exposure. Meeting
are being held in almost every city an
hamlet in the land to devise ways an
means of relief. 1t is liberal cOntribr
ton that is flowing like a stream c
gold and human charity to sufferin
brothers.
In speaking before relief meetin
in Washington President Harrison sait
"When such a calamitous visitatio
falls upon any section of our countr
we can do no more than to put abOr
the dark picture the golden border {
love and charity. [Applause.l 1t is
such fires as these that the brotherhood
of man is welded"
In appealing to its readers to aid til
sufferers the New York Press say
"Let the Golden Rule be written in lie
tiers of gold"

Professional Volunteers.

The Council Bluffs hose teams COM
peted at the Nebraska City tourna-
ment last Saturday. The John n.
Baldwins, of Council Bluffs made the
run and coupling in AZ seconds; the
Eisemans in 49l4 seconds. the slow time
of the latter being laid to a poor coup
ling. Afterwards the boys competed
in a 800 yard race in which they were
defeated by few feet in the fast time
of 81 { seconds. The IS yard race was
won by one of their mcn in ~ seconds
Council Bluffs had been claiming to
have strictly amateur teams. Every
hose man will grin at the assertion
after looking over these records,
Council Bluffs expects the teams from
the rural districts to swall0w the state
ment that the men who made these
records are genuine amateurs; that
actual volunteer firemen, at work every
day, can be picked up and in three
months training be capable of run
ming up TO the best American secQrd
for 300 and 20 yards. Council Bluffs is
entitled to have just as fast team as
money will procure for the free for al
races, but it is absurd to claim that
men with professional records like thu
above should be permitted to compete
with the volunteer firemen of the state
for the prizes offered by an association
which owes its maintenance TO low;
volunteer fremen.-Harlan Tribune.

From Brayton.

The principal topic of interest among
the people is the late frost. Among
the greatest sufferers is Ed Coleman.
lie counted OH at least 1900 worth of
strawberries, and no one who saw his
berries doubted that he would realize
that amount. twas the finest prospect
ever witnessed in this part of the coun-
ty. Now he is doubtful about having
enough for use in his own family. 1t
is hard blow for him as his berry crop
was almost his sole dependence for a
living.
Corn fields look very brown but there
is little doubt that the corn crop will
come out all right yet.
The gardens look very unpromising
and the outlook for tomatoes is pretty
dark.
On the river the plum crop is greatly
injured, an every where the crop of
blackberries and raspherries will be al,
most total failure.
Decoration Day was appropriately
observed by the people of Oakfield,
Brayton and the surrounding country.
The procession under the lead of Mar
shall ID. w. Powers, was formed at Bray
ton in the following order. Brayton
Cornet Band, II. NJ. Bartlett leader,
Old soldiers under command of VIM.
Bintner, hrayton lodge l. o. o. F; Bray
ton lodge Danish Brotherhood; citizens
on horseback and with teams; 81 teams
were in the procession from Rrayton to
Oakfeld, at the latter place forty-two
children representing the states, bear
ing flowers, fell in behind the veterans,
in charge of Prof. Brinkerhoff and
others. The procession was also joined
here by more pedestrians and teams.
When the procession had entered the
Cemetery there were by actual count
500 people in the enclosure and not less
than 100 more joined the throng within
very short time. Flowers were strewn
on the graves of soldiers, a portion of
them being bestowed in honor of Orlin
Jones, who went from here in the I'd
Iowa battery aud died in prison. AT
ter the firing of salute by the soldiers
the people gathered at the stand erect,
ed in shady portion of the Cemetery
where they listened to an address by
Prof. Brinkerhoff, which was very in,
teresting. Brief addresses were made
by other speakers, one of the most in
teresting being narrative capture OF
prison life escape and recapture by VIM
Bintner. A few words frem Frank
Pomeroy in relation to army life were
highly appreciated.
The exercises were interspersed with
vocal music, and music by the band
which acquitted itself in fine style.
Almost the whole company partook
of picnic dinner on the grounds, part
of the program being carried out after
dinner. ~
