The baggage smasher got In his work
last week, according TO all accounts, with
unusual success, owing to the enormous
facilities offered him by the summer
travel, the G. A. X. gathering in Boston
and the strike, which piled up noun
tain OF baggage under circumstances
which gave him some show Of excuse for
losing his temper and venting his spite
on the trunks. II is really the travelling
public that is TO blame, however, and nos
the baggage smasher. III the people
whose trunks are destroyed will Insist in
every instance on reimbursement
from the railway company re-
sponsible, the companies will soon find
it Improbable 10 employ or retain the
smashers and their places will be filled
with men who will be anxious to send
baggage through in good order as the
present handlers are to wreck il. As for
the plea that careful handling Is imprac-
ticable, il is all nonsense. The express
companies handle the same kind of pack
ages, and send them across the entire
country without injury, because they
know that II they break they must pay. Il
is true they are paid for their service, but
so are the railway companies. The cost
of a first-class passage always includes q
liberal allowance for the carrying Of bag
gage; and when we consider the number
of flrst-class passengers that travel with
no more baggage than they can take care
OF themselves, the companies are vel
paid and overpaid for all they have th
care OF.

QUINN WAS STRANGLED
The Big Fellow Fell Into the Iron Jap's
YiCe-Like Grip.
His Struggles We're UnavallIng-Hs
Turned on His Back and Lost the
Match-They VIII Try IL Again
Next Sunday.

Special Dispatch 10 the Standard.
HELENA, Aug. 3l.-The second contest
between William II. Quinn, champion
wrestler OF the Pacific coast and Matsada
Sorakichi, ''the Jap took place to-day at
Athletic park before large audience.
Under the agreement Quinn TO win the
match, was TO throw the Jap three times
in an hour, catch-as-catch-can, catch
weights, but the Jap was to win il he won
a fall. Quinn weighed 1s5 pounds and
the Jap l65. The stakes were $50 side
and 75 and 25 per cent. Of the gate re-
ceipts.
The well-known ex-champion middle
weight fighter, Dune Mcdonald, acted as
referee.
The first bout lasted eleven minutes and
was won by Quinn after hard struggle in
the course Of which the Jap was badly
winded. After twisting and squirming
for time Quinn got the Jap down and
with half-Nelson forced his shoulders to
the canvas.
The next bout was a hard one, the Jan
coming up with his teeth grated and deter
mined TO win. He grabbed for Quinn's
neck and fell. Quinn reached for the
Jap's ankle and began twisting his leg
when howl went up from the crowd and
he stopped. First one man was down and
then the other, and both we're rapidly
becoming exhausted.
Finally the Jap caught the other man in
n careless moment and secured the IA
nous strangle hold. A great struggle fol-
lowed but the Jap held his man in vice
and after two minutes the contest was
ended by Quinn turning on his back.
Quinn staggered to his feet and was taken
10 his room. The Jap was also exhausted.
The contest was admirably managed
under the auspices Of the club and all
were satisfied.
Manager Zigler Immediately challenged
Quinn for straight catch-as-catch-can
match. The arrangements were con-
cluded at the Independent Office this even
ing and the contest will take place next
Sunday evening at the theater. The
stakes are $50 side and the gate receipts.
The Jap is very anxious for another con-
test and says he will give him any terms
providing the match takes place in Hell
eua.

A story Book Romance.

From the Boston Courier.
From Stamford, Conn, comes the tale
Of an inheritance which reads like the
plot Of an English sensational novel. A
crippled music teacher OF that place had
by the strictest economy saved, some
thirty years ago, about 800, with which
he intended 10 buy home for himself and
his mother. He always kept the money be-
side his bed, and one night il was stolen.
All search was unavailing, and the poor fell
low took up his work again with weary
heart. But the sequel OF the tale Is that
not long since the music teacher, still
poor and obscure received a letter from n
man in Australia whose name he never
even heard, saying that he was on the
point Of death. that he had stolen the
money, and that so greatly had IL thriyen
in his hands that he had amassed large
fortune, all Of which he had willed TO the
musician. Not long after the Australian
was gathered 10 his fathers, and his law
yers informed the American that he had
fallen heir 10 an estate worth over So
10000. The moral Of the tale is what
ever the reader pleases.

TOPEKA. Aug. 3l.-The Capital to-day
published letters from 43 district court
clerks showing the number OF
foreclosures of farm mortgages as
to the respective counties during
the first six months of 1890. The
total number of foreclosures is JOB, abou,
25 to a county. The total for LOG counties
of the state on the same basis would be
2,65O or probably about 100000. A sig
nificant feature of the report is the fact
that large portion of the foreclosures are
on unoccupied lands bought up and mort

saper~tsiious Russians.

An old superstition, with specially Rus
sian characteristics, has of late been
manifested in Klisheva, village in the
government Of Moscow. At the begin
ming OF June two peasants dug up a
spring OF water al that place. An old
woman dreamed that the newly discov-
cred spring possessed curative properties,
and she told her dream 10 the laborers Of
a factory near by. Thereupon masses
OF people, mostly women and chill
dren, began fiocking around the healing
waters. As the spring did not yield
enough water TO satisfy them all fence
was built around il and a cross was
erected on the spot. Several peasants of
the village stand inside OF the fences and
deal out the water in bottles 10 the appli-
cants, each OF whom deposits coin at
the foot OF the cross. The money is col
lected by the elder OF the village every
evening and kept for communal purposes.
AT the foot OF the cross there stands a
bottle with two dead frogs in il that had
come to their untimely end i'm peculiar
manner. Before the concourse of sick
persons around the springs was great,
some OF the peasants caught two perfectly
healthy women, told them that they were
dangerously i'll, and pinning them to the
ground made them drink the healing
water until they tainted. When the poor
women were picked up from the ground
the two frogs were found in their gar
ments and were declared to be devils
driven out by the virtue Of the holy water.
They are now exhibited in the bottles as
sign OF the wondrous properties Of the
spring. The rush OF people 10 that place

Pairing In the House of Representatives.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is absolutely noprotection thrown
about the matter of arranging pairs in the
house. The only rule upon the subject
says that after the first call of the day all
pairs shall be announced by the clerk.
The practice is for members making the
pairs 10 hand the announcement Of them
To the clerk, who sees they are printed in
the Record. No questions are asked, and
the mmbers fix up the pairs TO suit
themselves. Thus, when member is alb
sent and is not paired, he can telegraph
To "a colleague and find some member on
the other side in the same situation,
when il is arranged that the Record shall
state that these two absent members were
paired.
