strained relations between the president and
the secretary of state, adds: "The death Of
his son, Walker, IL is believed, will furnish
an additional and very strong reason to
Mr.. Blaine for quitting at once his place in
the state department Not only is Walk
ers death an irreparable persoAal loss to
his father, who was greatly attached to
him, hut in the discharge Of his duties as
secretary Of state Mr. Blaine found his son
an invaluable assistant, whose place II will
be impossible to FILL Mr.. Walker Blaine
had the confidence of his father TO degree
which naturally no one else could obtain,

work which will now necessarily fall upon

A Bogus Live Stock Insurance Scheme

Sioux FALLS, s. d., Jan 20-Henry Froe-
Itch, who was prominent in a wild cat in
surance company at Huron few years ago,
has the past year been soliciting among
the farmers Of Beadle, Sanborn, Lake,
Moody and other counties in the interest OF
concern called the Stock Owners Mutual
union. Froelich purported to be its general
agent with headquarters at Huron. The
concern seems to have existed only in name,
and Froelichs scheme in connection with it
was TO insure live stock on the mutual plan
at a nominal premium. His proposition was
very liberal and his scheme appeared 50
plausible that be succeeded in taking in the
farmers by the dozen. Things went we'll
with the rs. o. M. U.n until the losses
began TO come in II twas then that continued
silence on the part OF Froelich led TO an in
vestigation, which developed the fact that
he was the head and tail Of the company.
Froelich is missing and his fraudulent
business will amount to several hu ndred
thousand dollars.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The peaceful and cons
tented portion Of London's population had
its nerves shocked again Sunday by a demon
stration on the part Of that portion which is
not so contented and not always SO peaceful.
The persons who thus rudely interrupted the
quiet observance Of the day were the gas
workers-or, rather, the ex-gas worlrers-for
they are no longer workers, nor even strik-
ers Their places at the gas works have been
filled and they are literally locked out. To
be locked out in London is almost equivalent
to a sentence of slow death by starvation.
Like a Revived Ghost.
IL had been thought that these men had
lost their identity as gas workers or strikers
or anything but simple units Of the great
mass Of unemployed, fer the strike was over
and forgotten weeks ago. Thus the appear
ance Of this organized body OF unfortuna es
had a somewhat uncanny effect-sometha az
like the appearance OF the ghost Of shaei
which had been buried out Of sight When
the ex-gas workers entered Hyde park in

posed Of escaped smallpox patients The

gazed on them from the windows of private
mansions and clubs and many were the
harsh epithets flung out by the sullen, hope
less almost desperate men.
At some points movements were made as

was only by the energetic efforts Of the
leaders, among whom were some Of the cool-
est headed and shrewdest OF the labor agi-
tators in London, that outbreaks were pre-
