A Good Joke on DR., Porter.

jamestown Alert: DR.. Porter, Of Bis
marck. is in the city to-day to attend the
organization of the new board of trustees
for the insane hospital, of which he is a
member. The doctor took the train at Bis
marck last night, retired in a Pullman
lower and instructed the porter to call him
for jamestown. He was awakened as the
train pulled into Eldridge and when the
train stopped the doctor hustled off and the
always obliging porter followed and
handed him his ~valise, not even failing to
express due appreciation as he pocketed
the usual tip. The little hamlet was en-
shrouded in darkness and the doctor did
not discover that he was in the wrong pew
until the train was steaming along toward
jamestown at a thirty mile an hour rate.
Eldridge is not the most inviting place at
4 a. M, but the doctor, after a silent exc
Grafton of the accommodating" porter,
summoned all the philosophy in his dispo-
sitlon to his aid and composedly waited
for the first freight, which he caught and
rode into the metropolis IN a caboose. This
is as the doctor tells it, but the story is
abroad in the land that he came in on foot.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 3.-Before the state
board of arbitration today General Man
ager Toucey of the New York Central
testified that Master Workman Lee, be-
fore the strike, alluded to the watering
Of the company's stock, intimating that
someone was making a good deal of
money and that he and other men ought
to have some of 1t.
Master Mechanic Buchanan testified
that he discharged Lee. Vice President
Webb had no personal knowledge of the
cause. Of the seventy. eight men dis
charged he knew the causes in the cases
of two only-Malloy and Conway. Nal
10y was discharged for obtaining q pass
under false pretenses; Conway for neglect
OF duty.

John Seery. an employe under Stevens,
testified that Stevens asked him if it was
true that be had Joined the Knights OF
of Labor. Seery told him it was. Stevens

knights or it might cost him his bread
and butter.

New YORK. Sept 3.-The single tax
convention today discussed the. question
whether women should be elected honor
airy members. VIM. Lloyd Garrison OF
Boston thought no discrimination should
be made. Some delegates held that it was
impossible to admit them on the same
S-cnnds as men.
Henry George read the platform which
had been prepared. The main points
were that all uen we're created alike, with
certain inalIenab!e rights. No one shall
be permitted to hold property without a
lair. return. There shall be no tax on the
products of labor, and all revenues for
national, state and municipal purposes
shall be raised by a single tax upon land
values irrespective of improvements,
The platform was loudly applauded.

PLATTsMoUTH, Neb., Sept. 3.-Deputy
Sheriff John Tighe returned from New.
castle, Pa, today with Albert Bauer, who
has been under indictment since last March
on a charge of assault upon the person OF
Stella Calhoun, a Is year-old girl, The
Facts are as follows: Last February Stella
vas committed to the Iowa reform school
for girls bg a Burlington judge on the
charge of incorrigibiliiy preferred by John
ID. Bauer, father of the man row in
custody. The girl had become a mother
shortly before her Incarceration and the
child was brought TO the Bauer farm near
Louisville, this county, upon the suppose
ton that by the mothers imprisonment
no scandal would ensue.
The facts became known, however. and
an investigation was commenced by the
neighbors, and the elder Bauer became so
frightened at the commotion created that
he hastily sold his valuable farm for a
comparative n and together with his
son and daughter-in-law departed for
parts unkn yn. A special grand jury
called by JUDGE Chapman acquitted the
elder Bauer, bat indicted the son Albert
on the. testimony of the girl, who had
been brought here for the purpose.
Young Bauer's whereabouts we're un-
known at the time. but he was finally
located in Pennsylvania. Albert's mar
riage was rather peculiar, being FASTENED
by & summons, and the sheriff gave the
bride away. This happened about a year
ago. and Stella aud Albert's wife were
both intimates OF the Bauer household.
Stella Calhoun is the orphan child of an
old soldier, upon whose death she was

Boston, Sept. Sin the Block" or
Fort Russell the place of solitary
confinement in the Massachusetts, state
prison, there are today TWENTY-FIVE or
thirty men who are charged with violating
the rules of the institution. They are
supposed to be separated from the outside
world with no communication whatever,
yet last evening there came to a Boston
newspaper Office a long letter. written on
brown wrapping paper and signed by
thirteen of these men. 1t tells the con-
victs' story CT the recent outbreak, asserts
that the warden is the whole cause of the
dissatisfaction existing in the prison, and
that he is totally untitled for his position.
It alleges that the men who participated
in the Bertillon demonstration by shouting,
pounding with clippers. etc, were clubbed,
and deprived of food for fifty hours. and
that while the Thermometer stood at "a
degrees steam was turned into the ven
tilators until the men tainted from heat
and lack of water. 1t was the severity Of
this punishment for a ''trifing otfense"
which caused the recent riot. In con-
clusion the letter expresses the hope that
the charges which it makes may be in
vestigated.

HoPKINsvILLE, Ky, Sept. 3-A
bloody fight and a double tragedy took
place at a little village called Bivinsville,
just over the Todd County line, at a late
hour Saturday. James, Frank and Jesse
Higgins, a trio of toughs, who have
terroriEed the inhabitants of the hills for
many months, attended a bran dance at
B~ivinsville on the evening in question. A
couple of boys named Langstone, aged IA
and l6 years, were also there. Several
weeks prior to the bran dance the Lang
stones traded a mule 10 the Higgins
brothers, and the latter found in this a
pretext for a quarrel. When they saw
the LAngstones at the bran dance they
began to abuse them. At this juncture a
shot was fired, and the crowd then gave
way and left a wide avenue through which
both sides began TO pour a fasillade.
james Higgins suddenly threw up his
hands and, with a groar, fell dead at the
feet of his surviving brothers, who con-
tinuel their firing upon the Langstones.
The two youths stood their ground like
veterans and displayed the most re-
markable discretion and coolness. james
Higgins received a fatal wound and fell
10 the ground unconscious. Frank, the
surviving brother, hen retreAted, leaving
the Langstones masters of the field. The
Langstones mounted their horses and left
the scene escaping into the hills north Of
Bivinsville. There have been no arrests,
nor is it likely that any effort will be made
to capture the boys.

A Brilliant Young Lawyer.
~Isundance GaEette.l


Henry s. Elliott, the brilliant young
attorney of Buffalo, was here a day or
two this week, getting acquainted with
some OF our people. Mr.. Elliott is spok-
Gu of by his admirers as the best lawyer
in Northern Wyoming" He certainly
has marked ability else he ,could not have
so successfully filed the position of county
attorney of johnson county. which he is
now serving for the third term. And he
also must be exceedingly popular in his
OWN home. for at the last election his
name was put upon both the Republican
and Democratic tickets. He is the only
n of the six candidates for supreme
judge who comes from the North, and he
should receive a hearty support in this
section of country, as we are sure he will
in Sheridan and johnson counties, where
he has lived for eight years.

| now remain silent2 Is it just and hon.
est to remain in my seat silent because
one who is accused of crimes and refuses
TO seek for yindication is a Republican,
and that Republican the recognized leader
of my party? Neither decency nor honor
would permit me to do SO.
| do not know whether the charges
made against the chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee are true or false,
but l do know that they have been made
by Journals OF character and standing
again and again, and | do know that in
the face OF these CHARGES Matt Quay has
remained silent and neither sought nor
attempted to seek an opportunity to vim
dlcate himself of them. l do know as a
great Republican leader he owed it to the
great party whose head be was either to
brand them as infamies or TO prove their
falsity, or be owed it to. that party to
stand aside from its leadership. He has
not done either and for this | d~enounce
him. The Republican party cannot af-
ford to follow the lead OF a branded Grim
inal. He has failed to justify himself,
and though opportunity and ample time
has been given him he remains silent.
His ~sileBce, under such circumstances, is
a confession of guilt. An honorable nan
does not long daily when his honor is as
sailed. He has delayed too long to justi-
fy belief in bis innocence and he stands a
convicted criminal before the bar of pub
lie opinion. Under such circumstances he
should be driven from the head OF the
party whose very life his presence imper
lis. The Republican party has done
enough for its pretended leader. Let
him be relegated to the rear. 1t is no
longer Il question OF his vindication. 1t
is now a question of the life OF the party
itself.

Cherokee Cattlemen Want More Time.

KANSAS Cry, Sept. president Ed

Association today said that strenuous eff
forts were being made to influence the
president to extend the time set for the
evacuation of the Cherokee strip by cattle
men until Dec. J.. If the presidents or
der goes into effect by Oct, l it will
necessitate, during the next twenty-seven
days, the rushing OF fully a quarter of a
million OF cattle on to the market, which
will virtually have the effect of running
the price OF cattle down to a great deal
lower than the market has been for years.
he says that every representative and
senator from Kansas has signed a memo

which has been presented to President
Harrison. The secretary of agriculture
has also intereeded.
