Col. McOlure's Visit to Mr.. Randall.
From the Pli[ddeIDhfa Times.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Ill called on Mr..
Randall this afternoon and found him in
tehtly studying the new code of rules pro-
posed in the House, printed copy of which
had just been sent to him. He is greatly
interested in the battle over the
rules, and his recent setback, that
caused SO much alarm among those
who could not see him, and was made
the basis of many sensational newspaper
reports, was the logical result of nervous
prostration, produced by his absorbing
study of the minority report prepared by
Mr.. Carlisle after careful study and a
perfect agreement between himself and Mr..
Randall. What he most needs is rest, and
that he cannot have while he is worried by
the exciting struggle IN the House.
Mr.. Randall was unusually bright this
afternoon, and he discussed tire rules framed
by the majority of the committee, and
soon to be adopted by the House, in the
most incisive manner. He profoundly dep
recates the extreme TO which the majority
has gone to gain temporary power, and
fears thatthe effect Will be felt by all par
ties in the future, He sums up the changed
rules as revolutionary in a parliamentary
sense, ard as thoroughly revolutionary IN
practical results as ii they had been wrought
by coup detat, as they entirely destroy
the power and responsibility of individual
members, make the speaker autocratic and
force the committees into subordination to
the will or caprice of thesSpeaker

upon her the most severe punishment for
| the slightest errors. A Mrs. Lucy Lafferty
was acquainted with the unpleasant life led
by the little girl and her heart was moved
70 pity. Finally she resolved TO assist the
little one, who now had reached the age
Of s years, to escape from her unc0n-
genial surroundings. In this attempt Mrs.
LaHerty was assisted by Mrs McGavick.
All arrangements being perfected, the little
glri was kept in concsalmeat for a few
DAYS, and then attired in g boys suit Of
clothes and brought to this city.
The father was much grieved at this dis
appearance of his daughter, and made
strenuous effort to discover her where
abouts. He watched the trains, and was on
the train which brought Mrs. rLafferty and
the child to Keokuk. but did not
recognize his daughter in male
attire. She was placed IN care Of a family
IN this city, where she remained until
she was about 12 years OF age,
when she went TO reside with family
named Hamilton living near New Boston.
here she remained few years and then re-
turned to KeOkuk and lived with Mr.. and
Mrs. Freeman Fancher, who have since re-
moved to the east. She lived with this
family until her marriage, sixteen years
ago, and has since resided in keOkuk. Sub
sequently Mrs. Lafferty assisted the boy,
Jacob, to a more congenial home.
Hunt was stout, vigorous man and a
bollermaker by trade. One day he came
home to dinner, and, when about half
through his meal, he was taken suddenly i'll
and died in a snort time. 1t is alleged he
was poisoned. His widow, it is understood,
now resides at OskalooSa.
Shortly after the separation of the first
Mrs. Hunt from her husband she gave birth
to son, who she. named Will In the
course Of time she was united in marriage
to one Joseph Bastian, and now resides at
Pekin, III.
Ford, as above stated, died, leaving an
estate valued at $4S, OOOO 900, and his
daughter Mrs. Bastianl and four children
are the only heirs to this immense estate
Her daughter, Eliza, married George
Dreamer, and now resides in Jacksonville,
Ill Jacob lives in Muchakinock, Ia, Will
az Pekin, ILL.,, aud Mary in this city. When
the mother learned of the estate being left
to her she Immediately set about to find the
lost children. After considerable difficulty
they were all located.
The matter of the recovery of the
English estate has been placed in the hands
OF shrewd lawyers, who are engaged at
gathering the necessary proofs of heirship.

Then, for the first time. Mrs. Grafton, the
owner Of the property, heard what was
going on. She secured the services OF a
lawyer. and, going TO the district commits
sioners, complained of the outrage
upon her rights, aud asked what
redress she could have. She was told that
the only visible means OF relief was to
sue somebody in the courts. This case re-
calls attention 70 a similar one that took
place here few years ago. An order was
issued for the destruction Of a beautiful
shade tree that stood in front Of the resi-
dence of Judge Andrew Wylie 81 that time
chief Justice OF the supreme court Of the
District Of Columbia. The workmen came
one morning TO remove the tree, but met
an obstruction in the person Of old Judge
Nylie, who stood with a pistol in his hand,
and threatened to shoot the first man who
stuck his AK unto the tree. The work

Internal Ingenuity

Could scarcely devise more excruciating tor
lures than those of which you see the evidences
in the face of a rheumatic or neuralgia sufferer.
The agones are the consequence of not check
ing rheumatic or neuralgia attack at the out
set. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been
found by skillful medical practitioners to pos
sess not only remedial, but defensive efficacy,
where those diseases exist, or a tendency to
them is exhibited. Surely this puissant but safe
botanic medicine, bearing, too, such high spe-
cific sanction, is better than the poisons often
employed, but most unsafe, not only in con
tinuance, but in isolated doses. The blood is
depurated thoroughly from the rheumatic virus,
and the nerves, slightly impurged upon, saved
from ultimate and direful throes by this benign.
saving medicine, which likewise exhibits marked
efficacy for malaria, kidney complaints, dys-
pepsia constipation and liver complaint

CLAIMING MILLIONS.

Americans.

An English Estate to be Claim ed by
Americans.
KEoKUK, Ia, Feb. 16.-Mrs Thomas
Mears of this city, wife of Rock Island
railroad employe, claims to be one of the
heirs to an estate worth S4S. 100000 left by
a wealthy Engllshman named Ford, re-
Gently deceased. According to Mrs. Mears'
story, Ford was father of a son and daugh-
ter who both found their way to America,
and eventually to Iowa. The daughter
married a man named John Hunt, aud the
son settled on a farm up in Keokuk county,
near village called Springfield. 1t seems
the daughter and her husband resided one
time at Iowa City. Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt were
the parents of three children, Eliza, Mary and
Jacob. When the youngest child was about
year old domestic troubles, which had
existed for some time, culminated in a sep
aration. Mrs. Hunt secured a divorce,
which also allowed her the custody of the
children, and she, with the children, found
a home with her brother Ben at Spring
field. Here they lived happily for a brief
season, when man hired by the
father kidnapped the three children
ewhere the father had his home.
The mother and her brother searched
diligently for the stolen child en-, but were
unable to find them. In the meantime,
and shortly after the decree of divorce was
rendered, Mr. Hunt remarked, and the
younger children were made to believe that
the second wife was their real mother. She
was woman OF good qualities, and treated
the little ones vito kindness. Before many
years had elapsed this second wife died, and,
in the course of time, Hunt again married
1t seems that this last wife was not pos
sessed of the most amiable disposition inn
aginable, and did not bestow upon her STEP
children the fullest measure of maternal
affection aud kindness. Indeed, 1t is alleged
that she shamefully abused and mistreated
them. she seemed TO take a special dislike

Mr.. PHO w. SpRAGUE,


the rector of St. Johns Episcopal
Church in Charlestown, is President OF
the Bunker Hill Nationalist Cub No. 3,
of the Boston organizations. He was
one of the original members of the first
Nationalist club. He is All easy, attrac-
tive speaker, quiet and natural in tone,
but intense with the earnestness OF his
convictions, He has studied the subject
from the practical, Industrial standpoint,
az well as ethically, and his obserya'
tions in the course of his paroChial
work among the people has done much
to enable him to express their needs
M,. Sprague is a good writer and by pen
and voice has done excellent service IN
the cause. He has marked ability IN
citing illustrations from actual facts IN
reinforcing his arguments. 'ln the
long run it is found that humanity pays
and that inhumaniy is ruinously eX'
pensive," he says, and he shows, in the
language of eye-witnesses, two pictures
of humanity, in the shape of descrlp-
ton Of the African slave trade as at
present carried on, and the sutferngs
of Siberian prisoners in the mines OF
Kara, depicted by George KEENAN,.
"These are pictures of what is taking
place in this world of ours to-day; they
are pictures, too, of just such scenes as
were once common among nations that
would no longer tolerate them; but
above all they are pictures of what takes
place under certain systems, which with
us have happily become obsolete; and
they give only the natural and neces-
sary results of those systems. Rightly
| interpreted, they make us feel the in
| humanity of the systems themselves"
| Then with simple and powerful stroke
he completes his chain of argument by
showing us another picture, illustrating
what takes place just as naturally under
another system. In New York woman
tells how she and her daughter live;
| they are engaged in making Clothes
| contractors grow rich on such work, and
Christian purchasers exclaim: why
really, these things are wonderfully
reasonable" These women worked II
hours day and lived on IL cents. This
was shown to be one of the natura
results of the present industrial system
"'Get all you can for as little as yo'
must give which take to be bruta
doctrine; and if any other than bruta
results come along with it sometimes
let us be glad that it is because human
nature is not quite brutal enough t,
carry the system always to its natura
and necessary consequences. Men viii
become advocates Of the better system
of Nationalism as they recognize thes
facts"

CURRIERS' ORGANIZING.

An International Union ofShayers, Split

AHiliation with the American Fedora

The following call has been issued by
w. b. Lewis, recording secretary OF

No. 5065. Labor papers will confer

Milwaukee, June 20, 1890
To our Fello,o Craftsmen;
am authorized by the above Union
to open correspondence with the various
branches of our trade whether organized
or not throughout the United States to
see if it is not advisable for us to all unite
in National Onion.
The reasons that have led lis to this
step are, that while other trades employ
ing skilled labor, such as Masons, Car
penters, Plumbers etc, have through
timely organization bettered their con-
dition largely in the matter of shorter
hours and increased pay, we (the Cur
riers) seem with a few bright exceptions
to have progressed backward and we
have come to the conclusion that unless
we present determined front we shall
in time be compelled to accept still fur
Their impositons. 1t is quite reasonable
to suppose that if we as body of intel
iigent men will unite for the purpose
named we can secure fairer share of
the profit our labor creates. This is the
issue before us now and we desire your
co operation in organizing such Union
as will keep us all together, that we may
take such action from time to time as
will benefit us all in whatever part OF
the country we may be.
Our plans are as follows: We have
secured charter from President Com
pers of New York in the American Fee
Iteration of Labor, and as soon as there
are five t5) unions of the same trade il
the A. F. of l.. Pres. Gompers will cal
convention of those five unions 70,
the purpose of organizing an lnternatio
nal Union.
To make this organization as etfectiv,
as possible it is necessary to have
branches in all parts of the country ant
, to that end we want to hear your view
: on the subject give ityour earnest con

true, however high an authority may
have made it. Man was naturally in
dustrious, and preferred work to idle
ness; it was only because, under the
present system, so many men had the
kind of occupation that they disliked
and that was unsuited to their individu-
atty that they hated work. Mr.. Hinck-
ley, few months after, announced his
entire acceptance of Nationalism, was
one of the most impressive speakers at
the great Temple meeting last Decem-
ber and is a member of the First Ma
tionalist Club. He has done much by
his eloquent advocacy to promote an in
terest in the movement in western Mas
saChusetts.

sideratoA and let us hear from you as
early as possible. Do not delay; II you
have no organization in your town get
a few men together and talk the matter
over, start right now and be assured
you are doing an act that will be of the
greatest possible benefit to yourselves,
Among the advantages offered by an
International Union may be mentioned:
I've cannot be assessed for other
trades except 10 cents per week for
weeks in any one year;
2--In case of trouble we have an or
ganization of over $50 900 men at our
back who have been almost uniformly
successful;
Sit is fighting organization.
We propose to organize these three
branches Of our trade throughout the
country and want every Shaver, Split
ter and Whitener to join us. We shall
then be in shape to see that our interests
are attended to.
To those who receive this letter we
would say, if already organized bring
the matter up in your meetings and dis
cuss it thoroughly; we would ask of
those not organized to show it to their
fellow craftsmen and do their best to
form union and not be discouraged by
past failures.
If further information is desired write
to President Gompers, 81 Clinton Place,
| New York, or write to us and we will
assist you. -
We have about $50 members in No.
506j and are increasing rapidly. We
when in town and see the progress We
have made. Be assured of a hearty
welcome.
In conclusion we would again urge you
to get at this question with a will ano
let us know the result as early as pos
sible.
