EMIT FORAKER.

The political annalist may at once
commence to write the career cf cX-
Governor Foraker, of Ohio. The ballot
box forgeries have put al end to his
political life, and his hundred horse
power jaw will now either enjoy rest,
or wag i'll the quiet OF Il disgraccd pri-
vate life. The scheme by which Fora
particular star in the Ohio heavens.
and to boom himself for the presiden-
tial race, was cunnilgly conceived and
boldly carried out. By procuring sub
scription list to ballot box scheme
with the names Of his opponent for
governor, Col Camp Il, and those OF
Senator Sherman and Congressman
Butterworth and Airkinlcy forged
thereto, he sou2tt. not only to
make his way easy i'll the gubcr-
national race, but to blast the reputa-
lions of his most pr";n,nvut opponents
among the Ohio republicans, and pave
the broad road lea,iin4 to the white
house. His instrunris ia the foul bust
ness was r. & W,nt., inventor of the
ballot box, which Ii wUi sought to have
the government adopt t"r all the terri
tories. The prize oTcrr ! him was an
appointment as smoke inspector for the
city of Cincinnati. This man Wood was
before the congressional investigating
commit. few days ago. He confessed
his crime with shameless candor and
acknowledged that it was Foraker $
brother who first induced him to enter
the lists as candidate for smoke in
spector. and that Foraker told him he
wanted to get even with Butterworth
and other persons, whose names are on
the list. The people of this country are
to be congratulated, that the shameless,
crime failed to accomplish the intent OF
its perpetrators and that Fire Alarm
Forakers true inwardness has been ex-

the foreign affairs committee of the

was held at the Gilsey house. There
were also present four members of the

by W. E. Curtis of the state depart
ment that. army and navy officers
should be detailed by South American
countries to do their utmost towards
making the exhibits from those coun-
tries what they should be. This, he
thought, could be accomplished through
the secretary of state. He also sug-
gests the establishment of bureau at
Washington and read a letter from
Secretary Blaine urging the impor-
lance OF the matter and stating that it
was not at all overestimated.
The subject of the appointment of
commissioners to South American coun-
tries was referred to a subcommittee.
Prof. Adler of John Hopkins uni
versity was appointed to superintend
the plan submitted by him and ap-
proved by the commissioners for Sc
curing a large exhibit from the orient.

some time past. Superintendent Tubb,
of the Chicago district. when asked
this afternoon why the men were dis
charged, said that he had not told
them the reason, and certainly would
not inform the newspapers. The re.
porter then went to General Superin'
tendent Clowry for some information.
Colonel Clowry said:
"'Why or on what grounds these
men were dismissed concerns only our
selves, and cannot interest the public"
The colonel added that the company
cared nothing about the mems organ
izations, but knows when men are not
faithful to its interests and when they
neglect their business. ''We notice,
too" said he, 'when men manifest a
disposition to interfere with our bust
ness, and in fact to run it themselves.
We are running the business of the
company for the stockholders, and we
don't propose to have anybody inter-
fere with the company's affairs.

civilized Indians from the Crow Creek

yesterday, returning from Standing
Rock, where they went some time since
principally to try and persuade their

was nothing in the coming of an Indian
messiah.
They report hat the excitement still
continues, though it is abating some
what for the reason that the army
authorities have used stringent means
by arresting a good many leaders in
the craze. 1t is having a good effect

What was the condition of the country
as the result of such brutality and
neglect The government had the
audacity to boast that Ireland had
grown %peaceable Under its administra-
ton, yet it kept six fold more armed
policemen in Ireland than in the whole
of England and Scotland. The British
people were forced to pay fl, 600, 600
annually to support the police in Ire
land for the purpose of assisting the
landlords to collect their rents; at least
this was apparently the chief function
OF the constabulary. The English and
Scotch landlords. VINO maintained fair
and equitable relations with their ten
ants did not ask the aid of the po-
lice in collecting their rents. Yet
their occasional losses footed up
more than those of tho Irish
landlords, thanks to the merciless Sc
verify of a land system backed by the
batons and rifles of the police. Mean
while, what had become of the prom
ises for Irish local self-governmentP
Mr.. Gladstone challenged the govern
ment to grant a general election, and
asserted with confidence that, should
an appeal to the country be allowed,
the result would prove that the people
had been won over by conservative
misgovernment to the approval of the
experiment of home rule. With this
great question settled on terms hon
orable alike to England and Ireland
the last fortress of bigotry and oppres-
sion would succumb to the attack of
liberal principles. Justice to Ireland
would rid the empire of an ~intolerable
nuisance and deep disgrace, and would
gid with a brighter glow than any
former period the years of Victoria's
glorious reign.

Fatal shooting In sox Butte County.


ALLIANCE, Neb., Oct 27.-The most
serious shooting ARRAY that has ever
occurred in Box Butte county was that
yesterday at about noon at the farm
house OF Enos Kerr. about twelve miles
north of Alliance, resulting in the in
slant death of a young man living In
the neighborhood named Ferd Robin
son. and what may prove q mortal
wound to the eldest daughter OF MIR.
Kerr. The difiulty arose from the
wounded girls determination to marry
n young man, while her parents
urged the suit of another. The evil
dence before the %coroner's jury brought
out the facts as follows:
Myrtle Kerr, the wounded girl, had
received attentions from Frank Fore
man, a cowboy, which had received
the encouragement of the girls parents,
and Notwithstanding it was contrary to
her i%nclinations, she had yielded
20 their opportunities and entered
upon an engagement with him. Mean
while, pending the final step, she mad
formed an attachment with Charles NJ.
Thorlton, a young man living a few
miles from the scene of the tragedy.
To this MI. Kerr stouly objected, and
the outcome was hat last Tuesday
morning the couple started through
the sand hills for Hyannis, about sew
enty-five miles distant. Arriving there
they found awaiting them Mr.. Kerr,
Frank Foreman and Fred Robinson,
the man who was killed. Robinson
had been keeping company with the
girls sister and had accompanied her
father to take part in the alteration.
Hot words are said to have been spoken
and threats made, but Mr.. Kerr at last
agreed to let Thorlton marry his
daughter the next Sunday if they would
return home and be married under his
own roof. They agreed to this and
the party arrived home Saturday norm
ing. Ihorlton went home and returned
in q wagon about moor accompanied by
his brother. He intended to go or
have Mr.. Kerr to go to the county seat
Tor the marriage license. His betrothed
IttLit OuG dllu lulOTilcu Hill biIdU LICK
parents had been urging her to give
him up and marry Foreman, which
she had decided to do. He
expostulated with her and she on-
sented to go with him at nee and be
married, and commenced climbing into
The wagon. The old man ran and
seized her by the waist and then COM
menced a struggle for the possession
Of the girl. ThOrlton drew q revolver
to cover Kerr, who held his daughter
between him and the weapon. Atthis
time Robinson, who had been in the
house talking to the younger girl,
came out with a revolver, supposedly
,or the purpose of quelling the dis
turbance, and was shot by Thorlton
while in the act of raising his gun.
The ball, a 45-calibre, entered a little
above the heart, causing death almost
instantly. Foreman, who was stand
ing near, made q grab for the revolver
and n or two shots were fired at him,
and then Myrtle Kerr ran and at
;empted to take the gun from her lover
and was accidentally shot through the
left side.
