A prominent merchant who has arrived
from khartoum confirms the report that the
Mahd was defeated by SeQussi. He also de-
ClareS that the white prisoner was not a Eu-
ropean, and certainly not Emin, who sent the
prisoner copy of the khedive's letter to en-
courage him.
No official advices have been received at the
state department of the reported firing upon
an American sailing vessel by German war
ship on the Zanzibar coast. Assistant SeCre-
tary Rives of the state department said that
he could only account for the occurrence, if
true, on the hypothesis that the sailing yes
sci was endeavoFing to break the blockade on
the Zanzibar coast and run In arms and am
munition.
The Berlin Vossische Zeitung, referring to
the impression made by Prince Bismarck s
speech in the reichstag. that he personally
adhered to his former views of the necessity
of restricting Germany's colonial policy, says
it does not feel altogether convinced that the
chancellor found himself unable to resist the
richstag and public opinion, as he is not usu-
ally accustomed to yield to such forces and
hints that Prince Bismarck doubts the success
of the policy. His duty, it continues, was to
examine into the question without regard to
real or imaginary public opinion, the paper
expresses pleasure at the announcement that
Germany is going hand ia hand with En-
gland. and thinks that the statement of this
fact will sober down many colonial enthpsi-

News Generalities.

A strange disease in epidemic form broke
out in the vicinity of Denver, Texas, a small
village ten miles east of Bowie, and up to
date six deaths have occurred The victim is
taken with a slight fever accompanied with a
breaking out at the wrists, which causes the
patient to be a raving maniac. Death results
in a few hours. Twenty new cases were report
ed in a single day.
Leopold Cola, a settler who lives on claim
about five miles east ofBrainerd, Mimi, came
to town with a specimen of rock which he
claims is very rich with gold ore He claims
the rock can be found in great quantities on
his claim, and is confident that it is gold that
it contains. He goes to st. Paul to have an
assay made and the value of the rock deter
mined. The supposed find has caused consid-
cradle excitement.
Another important step in the fight Of the
temperance alliance against the saloon ele
ment was taken in Burlington, Iowa. Three
of the largest bFeBeries in the city, represent
ing capital said to be over $150,000 were
seized and closed by the sheriff on warrants
sworn out by informer NJ J. French The
breweries belonged to Werthmueller & Ende,
Augusta and Berthold Bosch, and Caspar
KeiI, among the oldest, wealthiest and most
esteemed residents of the place. The move is
regarded with marked disfavor by the ma
jority of the citizens of the place, but the al
lance people will not be satisfied until every
brewery and every saloon is closed There is
money and spirit on both sides, and this ac-
ton is sure to be the forerunner of a long
legal fight.
The seizure of Canadian railway cars by
American customs officials has been quite
eclipsed by a seizure which was effected of an
entire section of American railroad track by
the Canadian customs authorities. The st.
Croix & Penobscot railroad runs from Calais
Me-, to Princeton, Me-, and is considered in
every sense an American road. 1t however
crosses the st. Croix river at Barring, and for
FIVE miles is undoubtedly in Canadian terrific
~. When built several years ago it was con-
structed without any question being raised
as to the liability ofthe material to pay duty;
but in view of the proposed sale of the road
to the Grand Southern railway, the line has
recently been reftted with ties, rails and 9TH
er improvements, and it is these which he
came the prey of Inspector McLaren, Survey
or Hill and Special Officer Shaughnessy of
the Canadian customs service. Pending the
payment of duty the line win be allowed in
running operation. The amount involved is
estimated at $4,000.

The annual crop report of the department
of agriculture shows that there is q larger
aggregate product of cereals than has ever
before been recorded. 1t will amount to
5000, 600, 900 bushels, or fully fifty bushels
per head. This Is about three times the
average supply per capita of EnFope from
home produetion, and receipts from other
Continents amount to only about one bushel
perhead. The aggregate potato production
is about 200, 900, 900 bushels, the sweet po-
tato crop about 100000 bushels. The
production of cane sugar is small; sorghum
q Medium crop. The hay crop was very large.
The cotton crop is of medium yield with an
increased acreage, Fruits have been fairly
abundant, though variably in production
locally. 1t is the "even year, !" and apples
are plenty for domestic use, while
their cheapness has favored expor-
tation. The wool clip of 1888
was slightly reduced in consequence of the
reduction of focks in Texas and elsewhere.
The. estimated product is 100000, 900
pounds. The meat supply has been very
abundant The area of maize, as estimated
from the crop of 1888, makes an increase of
3,2S0.043 over thecrop of 1887, and 49,
304, ,259 acres over the census crop of 1879,
years. The estimates 0f,wheat area makee O.
reduction of 305, ,645 acres from the breadth
of 1887. The aggregate is 1886, ,13S, an
increase of only / 1,905, ,S05 on the area of
1879, or little more than 5 per cent, The
eexports will probably be less than those Of
1879-S0 By at least 100000, bushels, O.
quantity more than ample for the annual
supply of all the increase of population since
1880 There appears to be q afhrtherincrease
of the area of oats amounting to LOTT ,376

in the quantity produced. The yield per

Glow do the flies get into the
house with screens in al of the win
dows and doors ?" is n question ask
ed by hundreds of housewives who
are annoyed by the pests, A natur-
alist who has looked closely into the
habits of the fly said; THE swarms
of flies that are so troublesome dur

screens shut them in instead of keep

Impossible to keep every fly out os

ercising little care thousands of

Nearly all the trouble is caused
by aboet s. dozen sluggish specimens

treats on the first warm days of
spring. They may be found on the
sunny windows of any room not in
constant use, They should be killed

Sturgeon, small town q few miles west of
Mexico, Mo-, is in an uproar of excitement
over the peculiar elopment of Miss Nettie
Sturgen flour mills, and Lee Vim, a promi-
lent young farmer near Sturgeon, For sew
eral months Miss White has been receiving
impartially the attentions of Charles and
Lee Winn, cousins. The announcement was
made that Lee and Miss White were engaged
to be married Feb. IA. Charles got wind of
the matter, and at once presented himself be-
fore Miss White for an explanation. The
young lady relented at his pleadings and
agreed to elope with him and be married at
once. While they were perieeting arrange
ments, Lee droppedin and the lovers growled
at each other a bit, but finally agreed to
stand up and let the young lady take her
choice. She finally chose Lee and Charles
started off swearing. She relented and called
him back. This thing continued some time
when Lee picked up the object ofhs affections
and bundled her into his buggy. They
caught the train for Columbia, where they
had to so for license. Charles hired q con-
veyance and started overland to beat them
to the county seat to talk the girl into hay
ing him, but arrived too late as they were
already married. Both of the Winns are
prominent citizens and Miss White an ac-
cOmplished lady.
Deacon Adolphus D., Hunt, of Norton,
Mass, has created an uproar in hischurch by
crucifying pig to see fit, as did Jesus Christ,
would come to life again at the end of three
days. The act caused n great deal of talk
and led to a legal Investigation as to the old
mans sanity. In this the children take the
most active part, but they are actuated by
different motives than the church people. The
deacon recently made a will, in which large
portion of his estate is bequeathed outside
the family. His children then thought their
fathers mind must be unbalanced and pc
titioned the probate court for the appoint
ment of a guardian. They testified to the
truth OF the story of the crucifxion and said
that when he had taken the pig from the
cross he depositedit it in the hen house, explain
ing that the Savior was crucifed and laid
away in tomb for three days, after which
he came to life, and that he, Hunt was going
to try the experiment upon the pig, and see
if he would not revive under a similar course
| of treatment. Another time, it is said, that
he brought a second dead pig into the house
| and forced into it's mouth food, which he
said, possessed certain charms, in hopes to
| bring the departed shOat to life. About the
| time meal was high the mortality among the
| chickens on the farm became all at once
alarmingly large and the son discovered that
! the old gentleman was trying to economic

by the use of the same article sought to cheat
Dame Nature herself by sowing it instead OF

Personal Talk.

j. T. Wade, the youngest colonel in the
UntedStates army, arrived with his sister
at Chicago. Colonel Wade is the commander
of Fort Reno in the Indian Territory, and is
the man Pawnee Bill will have to cope with
if he attempts to make any forcible entry
upon Oklahoma. The colonel gives it as his
opinion, however, that neither Pawnee Bill
nor any one else is going to do anything
so rash. He says he never heard of Pawnee
Bill until recently, and that which all the in
vestigation he has been able to make he can
find no indication otany such raid being con-
templated as the papers are continually
publishing yarns about. Col. Wade says he
knows the people down there we'll, knows
they are a rowing class and would be willing
at any time TO Jump in and grab land when
ever there is a reservation opened, but from
what he has seen he tndsit hard o believe that
any unknown adveuturer like Pawnee Bill
could gather adherents enough to carry out
such a scheme.

Conversation.

1t was Sidney Smith who said:

half minute without pausing and Civ
ing Others an opportunity to join
If the most brilliant talker of his
age could thus advise, it is good for
commonplace people to follow. The
pedantic Macaulay, who was duly
second to his witty friend, showed
less tact than he. The monologues
of the great historian were apt to be
so tedious and continued that Sid
ney Smith spoke of a great improve

which then would be at home?
That minnie bah of wit that hits
the heart of the subject attacked is "A
gift of few; the least effort and the
shot misses. The wise will never
strive to force what must he sped an-
heralded if at all. 1t is a special dis
pensation. For instance, that bu-

loved his Jest as he he did his dinner.

meaning of the word 'groteSaue' be-
FORE" he exclaimed to friend by his
aids. Only the good humor of the
speaker kept the saying from harsa4>
ness which is the temptation Of the
witty conversationaiist.
On another occasion when a friend
complained of the temperature of the
cathedral, Sidney Smith replied, at
is so cold that the sentences are fro,
zen as they come out OF my month
and are thawed in the course of the
summer, making strange nl noises
and unexpected assertions invaFious

Yet there are those who mar be
said to make conversation q profes-
sion. The imparting of what mind
and heart have stored becomes a ne
cessity. Who would notgo far and
and fare simply, in order to listen to
the Cornne like eloquence of Madame
de Staal in her Paris saloon? Or, to
hear the subtle, incisive, stimulating
monologues of Margaret Fuller, who,
with halfshut eyes and rapt face
poured forth the treasures of her
heart ia order to bring out those i'm

ard and H. Jay Hanchette and the Ii.
brairian Miss Kelso present. Matters
pertaining to the removal OF the Library
into its new rooms at the new City Hall
were discussed, and it was decided that
Miss Kelso notify all parties who have
books of the date on which they are to
be returned to the Library, and of the
date when the Library will be reopened
after moving.
Director Howard was appointed com
mittee Of one to secure Congressional
Reports from the Law Library. Directors
Jones and Hanchette were appointed tc
suparintend the removal at as early a
date as practicable.
1t had been expected that the Library
could be moved ON the 1st of June, but
owing to the fact that the marble work
in the hallway of the new City Hall has
been behindhand, the removal will not
take place until about the 18th of June
