As to Summer Drinks,

Lemonade and buttermilk are as
good as anything drinkable that you can
find for this weather." said physician.
They both are great things to quench
thirst. They both act as a pleasant
tonic to the stomach and they have a
stimulating quality. But they should
not be drank ice-cold. That is, bits of
ice should not be in the goblet. Let
them be as cold as the ice-chest or re-
frigerator can make them, but not more
than that. When you pour down your
throat pint or so Of fluid that is fresh
from the ice temporary paralysis of the
stomach follows. If man happens to
be very hot such a thing not infrequently
is as fatal as stoke of ightning.-Cin-

Wealthiest City.

Columbus, O., is said to be the
wealthiest city in the United States, in
proportion to its population, with the
single exception of Hartford, Conn. 1t
has made rapid strides in the last ten
years, the population being now not far
from $4,000, and it's tabulated wealth
being $120,0O0,000. The Ohio State
Journal has published ninety-four-
page souvenir, with illustrations, por-
traits of the leading citizens OF the
place, etc, printed in the highest style

bound. 1t reflects credit alike on the
enterprise of the Journal and the re-

Business of the House Suspended because

WASHINGTON, July 16.-In the house to-
day, Sweeney Of Iowa presented the con-
ference report on the bill authorizing the
construction Of bridges across the Iowa
river at Wapello, Iowa. On agreeing To
the report, Rogers of Arkansas raised a
point of no quorum, and a call of the
house was ordered. Only l42 members,
less than a quorum, responded.
On motion Of Mckinley, resolution
was adopted directing the sergeant-at-
arms TO bring 10 the bar Of the house such
members as were absent without leave.
After waiting an hour and a half for a
quorum 10 appear, Breckenridge moved
that all leaves of absence be revoked.
Peters offered an amendment excepting
those members absent on account OF ill
ness. Lost.

SCENES OF MOURNING
0Vef One Hundred Dead Bodies Taken
from the Waters
Solemn Tolling of the Church Bells
In the Little City of Red Wing
-Blackened and Unrec-
ogniz liable Corpses.

REDwINo, Minn., July 16.-The doleful
tolling OF the church bell is still TO be
heard In this city to-day. the list Of re-
covered dead from the disaster having
been greatly increased since yesterday.
Eight bodies were brought up and one was
sent over 10 Lake City aud tonight an
other boat load arrived.
The scene at the lake shore, the disaster
having occurred two miles this side OF
Lake City, on Goodhue county, is n sad
one. When the first bodies were recovered
Sunday night and Monday morning the
faces were calm and peaceful and
showed little or no signs of
having come To sudden death. Not so
with those found last night and to-day.
All these were bloated and blackened be-
yond recognition, so that the clothing and
jewelry and papers were the only way for
the friends 10 claim their dead.
The warm weather and the shallowness
of the water together with the fact that
several big steamers sent up heavy swells
to-day as they passed up the river, brought
the bodies 10 the surface. Very quickly
the patrolling row boats towed the bodies
ashore, where they were identified as soon
as possible and boxed and shipped To this
city.
This swells the list OF the recovered
dead to i00.aud il is thought about a dozen
bodies still lie in the lake.
Engineer Sharks of the Sea Wing to-
night entered an emphatic denial of the
report that he, the captain or any of the
crew hail been drinking. Friends of
Sharks and Captain Wethereu are also
indignant at the charge of drunkenness.
The reported arrest of Captain Wcth-
ercn is not false. A man who came to-
night from Diamond Bluffs, where the
captains home is situated, says the sheriff

BREcKENRIDoE's DEFENSE.
He Scores Judge Mcclure Unmercifuiiy In
the Clayton Case.

WASHINGTON, July l6.-Representative
breckenridge of Arkansas, made an ar
gument in his own behalf to-day before
the house committee on elections. read
ing a long brief prepared by ex-Attorney
General Garland.
This paper attacked the subcommittee
which visited Arkansas for failure to take
testimony profrered by Breckenridge as,
for instance, in the case of the ballot
boxes where the count was impugned. Ii
set forth further that the record aided
utterly TO show that Breckenridge was
not elected, but on the contrary. 1t
showed that he was elected.
Respecting Clayton's murder, IL
was perfectly clear that nothing
more could have been done to find the
murderer than had already been done by
the officers and people OF the state.
The brief concluded, breckenridge pro-
ceeded 10 supplement il by a long state
ment. He had known Clayton ~ years.
They had been neighbors and friends !;
they canvassed the district together; their
relations demonstrated that there was
nothing in the charges made by Judge
Mcclure OF the terrible persecution of the
republicans i'm his district. Clayton Is
death had been as fearful a surprise To

the Piuminerville ballot box had been
stolen by the republicans.
The apparent object was To hinge upon
the stealing of the case in the house of
representatives which was republican.
Breckenridge, in the course of his talk
turned his attention to Judge Mcclure and
scored that gentleman severely. Judge
Mcclure closed the argument in brief
speech devoid of personalities and
treating almost altogether of the legal as
pect of the case. He argued, i'm brief, that
as the evidence showed the ballots really
cast were not preserved, il was competent

the repeal of the irrigation land and said
its retention meant that not a single acre

plated by the shrewd man who drew up
that provision in the conference COM

estimates the appropriations at Ss5O,0O0.-

is no reason 10 anticipate less sum from
the ordinary revenues during ls9i. The
postal revenues for 1881 are estimated by
the postmaster general at Sss,, 4il, ,0OO, maxi
ing a total of Si67 1900. Deducting the
