Walter B. Smith RegainS His
Freedom.
A special dispatch from st. Louis
says that Walter P. Cowen, arrested
few days ago on suspicion of being
Walter B. Smith, the young teller of
the Second National Bank of st. Paul,
who skipped from the city Nov. %,
1885, with 1880 belonging to the bank,
has been released. Cowen was az
rested on a charge of fraud in bank
ing scheme, but the st. Louis authori-
ties could not make out case. The st.
Paul authorities found that the man
could not be identified, so wired yester-
day to release him. There is
some mystery, however, connected
with Governs identity, which
is heightened by the dis
covery on his person of a photograph of
himself attached to a police circular
offering $1,000 reward for the capture of
Walter P. Smith. 1t was alleged in St.
Louis that Cowen had defrauded the
Allegheny National Bank, of Pitts
burg, by means of bogus draft. The
case falling through, and the inability
of the st. Paul authorities to identify
him, necessitated his release, and he
left st. Louis for Chicago last night.

$3.50 for a Postage Stamp.

From the London Truth.
The highest price on record for a
postage stamp was realized last week.
when an unused Accent British Guinea
stamp of 1856 was knocked dawn at auc-
ton to Mr.. Bull, the dealer. at $3.50.
The same gentleman also bought a
similar stamp, which had, however,
been through the post, for $3.50. L pre-
sumo Mr. Bull was commissioned to
buy these raritieS by some customer of
exceptional wealth, or, perhaps, excep-
tIonal idiOcy.

The strasburp CathedraI.

Since the war the cathedral at Stras-
burg. which suffered considerably from
the bombardment of 1870, has under
gone extensive repairs.
In answer to many suggestions on the
subject the building was subjected to a
very close examination at the end of
last year. the result of which has been
extremely alarming. 1t was proved be-
yond doubt that many portions were
threatened with complete ruin and that
no time was to be lost. A report to this
effect will be submitted to the municipal
council

and those of his co-workers the means
have been procured, at a low rate OF inter
est for the construction of q great many
church ediices in new countries, where
the congregations would have been unable
to build without assistance from some
source. OF course this work can be sue
cessfully conducted only upon business

mission to ascertain the value Of prop
erty in this part of the country,
that he may be enabled TO report as to the
amount of money that may be safely
loaned on the several propositions as they
are presented. This will result in dis
seminating among q large class Of in

THE UNION PACIFIC.

The visit Of the Union Pacific officials
to Spokane Falls yesterday was an event
of great Importance. This company Is
one Of the strongest in the United States
and has system Of railways extending
into all parts of the West where there is
work for railroads to do. The manage.
ment perceived the growth of the COM
merce of this city, investigated the proba-
bilities Of continuance of its prosperity
and the opportunities for throwing ou.
feeders into the rich agricultural and
mineral regions with which the city is
surrounded, ard came to the con-
clusion that it was to the inter
est of their road to reach on
for share of the business that
10 bound to be concentrated here. The
first result was the immediate construction
OF the load from Rockford to this point.
This means great deal for the future
benefit OF Spokane Falls. IL means not
only a competing line to all Eastern rail-
way centers, but direct connection with
the rich and vast agricultural regions

line of the Union Pacific traverses one
of the most interesting regions of
the continent, through the Missouri valley,
across Nebraska, Ksnsas, Colorado, Wyo-
mins, Idaho, Utah, and on to the Pacific
coast, with branches extending up into
every valley, with magnificent views Of
mountain scenery, and with converging
lines connecting with all the other trans
continental roads. 1t will complete the
system which makes Spokane Falls the
railroad center Of Eastern Washington
and all the inland empire tributary to the
metropolis, Doubtless other extensions
will be speedily constructed which will add
to the Importance of this city as railway
and commercial center and will assist In
building up live stock and grain market
here equal TO that which made Kansas
City the rival of Chicago. 1t will assist
materially in the development of all the

that 1t shall forever be equal to Denver

The Testimony Concluded tn the Martin
Murder Case.

Murder Case.
George II. Megquier, recently from
Pembiua, Dakota. was admitted to the
bar in open court yesterday upon motion
of District Attorney Jones. Mr.. Meequer
has been engaged in the practice OF Law
twenty.tv years.
In the Martin trial yesterday the do.
fendant was put upon the stand. He
swore that he aud Parker drank together
and :hen rode home together in the wagon
Parker had out in trout of the saloon. On
the way home they quarreled and Parker
hit at him with u sing shot, but missed
him. At the stables Parker grabbed the
horses by the bite and refused 10 let 20.
and threatened to kill him. Martin stated
that he went into the house after his re-
volver and coming out fred one shot into
the air TO frighten Parker, but /. had no
effect, 20 he fred twice at him, hitting
him once in the arm. He WAS not very
drunk at the time.
Mrs. Martin was placed upon the stand.
and her testimony was substantially the
same as her husbands.
The physicians testified that il Parker
had consented to have his arm amputated
just after the shooting. he would have
lived. The argument was concluded by
the counsel. and the jury will be charged
this morning.

The appointment OF that scholarly gem
tleman and able lawyer and politician,
Hon. William Walter Phelps, AS minister
of the United States at the German court,
affords another illustration OF the oft.
demonstrated fact that President Harri-
son knows the truly great uien OF this
country and is not afraid to call thom to
the front. Not in any of the men thus
far selected by him to repre-.
sent his administration in high places
have been men unknown to the nation at
large. Mr.. Phelps is not of that mould
to become president or a central figure
in any great popular cause, bet his ability
is conspicuous and his services as public
man have been great. lnheritiDg a for
tune from his father, be has never
felt the stin9s and arrows of poverty,
and is therefore stranger to
much that has been familiar to
perhaps msjorit. Of American public
men. But being possessed of high educa-
tion and having native skill as a speaker,
he has made himself heard and felt and
his Intellectual ability rather than by his
wealth. He has, moreover, been an indie
pendent thinker and actor rather than q
tliud partisan, having never hesi-
tated 10 fellow his own judg.
ment and conscience rather than
obey the party lash. This cost him
on one occasion an election to congress-
when he refused to vote for the civil
rights bill. He has been strong Blaine
man for years and his recent action as u
member of the Samoan commission was
conmendable; and, in the language OF
President Harrison, this German mission
is his reward.

The Tacoma News speaks out in loud
defiance Of the Northern Pacific and urge,
that the time has come when the "City of
Destiny" must be independent Of its par.

Union Pacific may extend its line
from Umatilla by way Of Yakima
and the Natchez pass to that city,
apd that the Canadian Pacific may

Ia view OF the grave alarm that has
been felt on account of the contracted dry
spell, the REVIEW was afforded nuch
pleasure yesterday In the friendly and
who declare that there 10 no cause what
ever for discouravemeut.
Mr.. Thomas Steele vt SpauRle. who has
been in the country seventeen years, saws
there hxs never been d failure OF the
crop, and he thinks there never will be-.
Even II the grain crop IL short for this
county, he thinks there will be from eiRh-
cen to twenty-five bushels tn the acre,
while there il abundance of hay and the
fruit, vegetable and melon crop has never
been excelled. He has gathered forty
bushels OF cherries from ten trees, and
has other varieties yet to cone in.
Mr.. Louis Yale, also residing near
Spanxle, says the crop prospect early in
the season was the finest he ever saw any
where, and although II good rainfall two
weeks ago would nave been accepted a.
blessing, the outlook is not half as gloomy
az IN ny people represent. He expects to
harvest at least half crop, and that IL
equivalent to y full crop in many OF the
older states.
Mr.. Nj, NJ. Msrstou, who is farming
near Sueuty, says tue Idrtuerh IN Uls heiEu'
oorhood are considerably discouraged on
account Of dry weather. but they are not
by any means respondent. They will
raise u good half crop Of grain and Of
fruits and melons tremendous crop.
MIR. q. b. :. Coleman. living near
Spangle, says he has good prospect. Six
years ago he raised thirty.two bushels OF
wheat to the acre without a drop OF rain
between seeding time and harvest. This
year the Sround vas in fin, order when
the grain WAS put in and the plants came
up under the most favorable conditions
He has 25 acres ia wheat and oats. He
has raised 80 bushels TO the acre on this
ground. and the outlook nov indicates
not less than thirty bushels. He is 70 con.
ident, at least, that he would not take
thirty bushels to the acre for his crop.
These gentlemen all express the opinion
that few weak kneed people, who came
here expecting to dnd money growing on
the pine trees snd the rivers flowing with
milk and honey will pull up stakes In the
fall and return to their wives people back
East, but there will be plinty OF others 70

When Gen. A. P. Curry learned that
Gen. q. M. Dodge of the Union Pacific
railroad party was in the ciGy yesterday,
he called at tue party's private cars to see
him. Gen. Dodge was Gen Curry's di-
vision com mander in the army OF the Ten

Gen. Curry step upon the platform Of the
car he at once called out: "Come in,
Curry. old boy" He knew his old com.

Gen. John Gibbon, U. 8. A., command

with the party. He, too. Is q veteran of
the war, and the three old commanders

over old times. Gen. Curry said to RE-

Dodge yesterday: IL shall never forget

the battle Of Pea Ridge. It was in the
midst of that great contest, one of the
fercest of the war. The rebel shot and

one of them struck a large limb Of a tree

Gen. Dodge and horse to to the ground.
