The Worlds Fair Directory Has at
Last Decided Upon a Site for
the Fair.
The Great Exposition Will be Di-
vided, and the Two Sites Will
be Five Miles Apart.
Part of the Exhibit Will be on the
Lake Front and the Balance
in jackson Park.
A Dual Site

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-The directors of
the Worlds Fair, at a meeting this after
noon, reaffirmed their choice of some
months ago and selected the dual site of
the lake front and jackson park as the
places for holding the great exposition.
The lake front is long grass-covered
common on the edge of lake Michigan
and bordering on the business centre of
Chicago. 1t contains at present about
80 acres. 1t is the design to place there
on grand entrance to the exposition
and buildings for fine displays. Jackson
park is also on the lake shore, about five
miles from the court house, and is to
have agricultural, live stock and other
exhibits of that nature, besides others of
general interest. Over 500 acres are
available in Jackson park, and wide ap-
proaches thereto, which were recently
added to the original tender. The two
sites are also connected by rail and water
accommodations so that but few minutes
will be spent in passing from one locality
to the other. final and decisive ballot
on the site resulted: Lake front and
jackson park, %; North Side, 4; West
Side, 8. The choice of the dual site was
then made unanimous.
No action was taken regarding the ap-
pointment of director-geDeral. A COM
mittee of three was named to confer with
the secretary of war touching the pro-
posed filling in of Il portion of Chicago
harbor adjoining the lake front park.

A Narrow Escape,

Fargo Republican: Yesterday afternoon,
j. E. Haggart was out driving with
his wife and six children. Everything
went we'll and the family were enjoying
the ride, when Mr.. Haggart felt something
give way. A grating sound followed
caused by the bending of the axle. The
team, high spirited and full of life, were
frightened by the noise of the wheel rub
bing against the box, and very naturally
sprang with all their strength III an effort
to free themselves from the carriage. Mr.
Haggart had them well in hand, but not
withstanding this they jerked HIM bodily
over the dashboard and onto the tongue
and whitfletrees. He gathered the lines
as rapidly as possible, and only by cool
head and his hercuean strength were his
family saved from injury, If not from
death. 1t was a terrible position in which
to be placed, but as MIR. Haggart says, "the
lives of my wife and children were in
peril, and though / perished that team
must stop, and stop they did" Soon after
the first jump of the team, and Mr.. Hag-
CART had landed as before described, the
wheel went off and the end of the axleIwas
plowing the ground. Had anything more
given way, or had the team kicked while
Mr.. Haggart was in his perilous position,
no one knows what the sad record might
have been Suffice it to say that the team
was stopped and no one injured except
Mr. Haggart, who is quite sore and stiff
from the unusual eXertiOn.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-The senate
continued voting on the tariff bill amend
ments to-day, but no debating was al
lowed. Aldrioh's reciprocity amendment
was adopted by vote of 81 to28. It

change for agricultural or other United

the producers and consumers, and to
ascertain the effect of tariff on the price
Of agricultural productions, upon wages
and on industries in general. The free

Floods in the Canistee Valley.

HoRNELLsv11LE, N. Y, Sept 10.--The
highest flood which has been known in
this section since 1850, wiki one excep-
ton, visited the valley of the Canistee
this morning, and third of the city was
inundated. Crosley creek was sweeping
down Canistee street and covering the
Erie yards. The Canacanea creek was
overtlowing as was the river The fire
department was called out and did good
work in securing bridges and buildings.
The Erie is completely tied up, no
through trains running past this
city since midnight when train of
five cars went up the western division, but
that has been stopping at Andover all
day unable to get either way. Three
through trains have been lying at this
city all day. Another train is at Addi-
son and a fifth at Cameron, with no pros
pect of opening before morning. It is
now raining heavily and the streams are
rapidly rising again, and unless it stops
within an hour disastrous results will
follow. Advices from Canistee report
that village will be completely under
water and at the mercy of the stream,

More Sheep Figures.

Mandan Pioneer: Here are some more
Interesting figures concerning sheep. In
July, 1850, MIR. W. NJ. BATHS of Glen Ulin
bought 800 sheep for which he paid 5000.
During the next year he took no care of
the sheep himself but hired them kept
and fed, for which he paid $325-makine a
total of S1,225 for sheep and keeping. In
July, 1890, the wonl-3.OUl-at II cents per
pound and the lambs at market value
amounted to SLIP, and he had the origi-
nal flock of 300 in addition. TO make
$l,l72 on $l,225 in one year comes very
near being good investment.

The Cheyennes Commit Murder.

MILES Cry, Mont, Sept. "a tele-
gram received to-day by the coroner from
j. B. Cooper, agent for the Cheyennes,
dated Tongue River Agency, via
Fort Custer says: "a murder was COM
mitted here three days ago. The body
is awaiting your arrival" The telegram
itself was not explicit, but letter re-
celved here from that locality probably
explains. The letter is from Miss Rosa
Lynch and is dated Lame Deer, Sep
tember 7. She writes that her cousin,
Hugh Boyle, started the night before to
hunt stray cattle and had not been seen
or heard from since, but his horse, sad
die and bride had been found and that
relatives, with detachment of soldiers,
were out hunting him. A postscript
dated September 8, says Agent Cooper
had asked man named Rowland d, a
squaw man, to go among the Indians and
find out if they knew anything about the
missing man. Cooper's telegram above
quoted makes it plain that Boyle's
body has been found and that he was
murdered. AS he was young man and
had no enemies, the crime was undoubt-
edly committed by Indians. 1t was only
last Saturday that the Indians arrested
on suspicion of the murder of Robert
Ferguson, in May, were turned loose by
the grand jury here for lack of evidence,
the witnesses having been tampered with.
This murder following so closely on the
heels of the failure to punish the sus-
poets will no doubt arouse the white set
tiers to a war of determination and
bloody scenes may follow soon. The set
tiers have declared that if another white
man is killed they will send the women
out of the country and take up the fight
themselves, which, with the cowboys,
they are abundantly able to do.

A WOnderful NJ ind Reader.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-P. Alexander John
stone, mind reader whose peculiar
powers have of late mystifed and as
tonished the people of Chicago, per-
formed feat to-day which totally
eclipsed all similar records, at least in
this city. When Bishop, the mind read
or, who met a tragic fate in New York
not long ago, was here shortly before his
death he astounded every one by finding
a needle which the committee had Sc
creted. Johnstone has frequently per-
formed the same feat in western cities,
and to-day his manager, W. Gooding, de-
cided to attempt the same test that re-
suited fatally to Bishop in New York,
that of finding name in register and
pronouncing it. A committee consist
ing of number of we'll known news
paper men and DR.. j. G. Butler drove in
a hack from Auditorium hall to the
Grand Pacific hotel by difficult route
and going to the hotel register selected
a name, leaving one committeeman,
Charles Lederer, in charge of the regis
ter. They returned to the auditorium,
where JohnstOne had remained in the
custody of one of the commit ee. so that
there could be no possible apparent
chance for collusion. They bandaged
Johnstones eyes securely. The sequal
was astonishing. Johnstone instantly
rushed down to carriage and drove
blindfolded to the Grand Pacific, avoid
ing cable cars and thousands of vehicles
on the way, rushed to the register, turned
the leaves rapidly, found the name and
repeated it, gave the number of the page
and date of the month. The Grand Pa
cific hotel and adjacent streets were so
filled with people that all traffic was sus.
pended. Johnstone, on his way home
from the hotel, was taken with severe
chill, which threw HIM into cataleptic
tit. The physicians at first pronounced
him dead, but after working over HIM
for some hours life was again preceptible.
Tonight the mind reader is resting COM
fortably but is exceedingly weak.

Gle in the Republican. Clark entered
Stanley's Office, closing the door after him.
and proceeding to the desk where Stanley

that Stanley frankly admitted that he him
self was the author, whereupon Clark.
without warning, brutally assaulted Stan

The Raum Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-Deputy Pen
sion Commissioner Charles T. Lincoln
was the first witness to-day before
the special committee investigating the
charges against Commissioner Raum.
He testified that the completed files sys-
tenn as recommended by Lemon did not
commend itself to his Judgment. Claim
ants without attorneys would be placed
at disadvantage by the completed files
system if they did not know the practice
of the office, if all of the time was taken
up by completed cases. He did not oe-
leve the slightest degree of partiallty or
favoritism had been shown by an officer
or employe of the pension bureau towards
any attorney. The new order was giving
more satisfaction to the country at
large than the original plan and had con-
siderably expedited business. He could
not say that the inequality between claim
ants with and without attorneys was
greater now than under the old system.
He did not know or hear of any en-
ployes in the pension Office who owned
and had been solicited to buy any re-
frigerator stock. He had heard of the
company and told the commissioner that
if he would tell him when there was any
money in it he would like to
subscribe, but had never been told
Representative Cooper had several wit
nesses who we're going into the merits of

objected. Cooper insisted and said he
would carry the matter before tho house
if not heard in committee. Cooper said
he couldn't prove that Raum knew the
invention was fraud, but he ought to
know.
