A NOVELTY FOR IOWA.
The Inauguration of a Democratic Gov
ernor after Many Years of Republican
Misrule.

DEs MONIES, IA, February 27.-The
Inauguration Of Governor Boies this
afternoon was carried out with great
enthusiasm among the Democrats.
Visitors had come from all over the
State and from other States, the most
noteworthy being the st. Joseph, Mo-,
Jefferson Club, $50 strong, and the
Cook County Democracy Of Chicago,
$50 strong. The inaugural procession
was formed at the Savery House and
marched to the Capitol.
The galleries were crowded when the
Gubernatorial party entered the hall of
the House of Representatives, where
both branches of the Legislature were
in jointsession. The oath of Office was
administered to the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor-elect, and Cover
nor Boies then read his inaugural ad-
dress.
In his inaugural address the Cover
nor takes strong ground in favor of
carefully guarded high license and of a
secret ballot. A considerable portion Of
the message is devoted to the tariff, and
the present high protective tariff is
condemned.

A storm reported central about Nash

If the precipitation in the next
twenty-four hours should be as great

Memphis and Nashville from the
storm approaching here from that di-

eve up to Hasssyampa prospecting,
and passed number Of parties on the
way who must inevitably have been
lost. Thursday we arrived at the dam.
Friday morning the water in the dam
Yves rising at the rate Of eighteen
inches an hour, with all the sluices
opened. Superintendent Thomas Brown
had fifteen men employed all day in
blasting out q waste water way, to
allow the escape Of water. Despite the
immense volume which went through
the passage, the water continued to rise
until O'Clock at night. when it began
to pour over the dam. In the afternoon.
Superintendent Brown, seeing the dam
must inevitably give way, sent mes
senger to the lower dam to notify them
of the danger, but he stopped at sa-
loon on the road, and, becoming into1i-
Gated, failed to deliver the message.
Next morning another messenger was
sent, but was overtaken and drowned
by the food just as he neared the lower
camp. About midnight we were warned
by Brown calling.to his foreman, Get
up Phil, T think the dam has broken
Soon after there was tremendous roar
which was indescribable, and we arose
and looking out saw the water rushing
out Of the dam. Inside oftwo hours it
had disappeared entirely from where it
was from sixty to..ninety feet deep.
Francis u. Parker was one of the
men rescued from a perilous position
about daybreak. Parker and his part
ners had gone to bed. When be was
awakened he heard one Of his partners
.exclaim, "My God! what was that?"
He (Parker) never saw them again. He
was caught up by the water and was
lifted to the roof of the cabin, where
he clung to the rafters until the cabin,
after floating around, was driven against
q bluff, where he seized some bushes
and drew himself up on the cliff.
One man was seen to start for a
place ofssfety, and seeing escape was
impossible, brsvely turned his face to
the food and was swept away.
Another man was seen going up
steep hill and had reached point ABOUT
fifty feet above the level Of the river
bank, when mighty volume Of water
struck and killed him.
Outside towns are supplying all
needed necesssries. .... ..-. ..

who Can Join the Alliance?

E. P. Stackhouse, President of the
South Carolina State Alliance, answers
the question as follows:
Factory operatives are not eligible to
membership in the Farmers Alliance
a1i Industrial Union.
Country" physicians only are eligi-
bic to membership.
The "Clerk of the County Court" if
a farmer, or otherwise entitled to mem
bership, is not rendered ineligible be-
cause he lives in town.
The man "who keeps stables, and
speculates on horses, mules, hogs, etc" !"
is not eligible, although he owns a
farm.
The fact that town and city mechan-
les are now eligible would not justify
the reception of a manufactured" and
"dealer" in buggies, coffins, etc. He
should be regarded as speculator.

A MOST REMARKABLE DUEL.
Nee and Archer, Both. Drunk, have Only
One Pistol, and Take Tdrzs as Firing.

KEysER, W. Va, Feb. M.-The new
mining town OF Elkins, on ex-United
States Senator Davis's new railroad,
was the scene of duel last night pos
sessing some remarkable phases. James
Nee, a coal miner, and carpenter
named Archer, fast friends, went on
big drunk together Saturday after
drawing their pay, and continued the
spree over until Sunday. That evening
they went to Mrs. Wise's saloon, where
they had been frequent patrons during
the carouse, and getting into dispute
with the woman. drove her out of the
house.
They then proceeded to wreck the in
terror Of the saloon, smashing glasses,
windows and mirrors and breaking the
furniture.
While thus engaged, Nee accidentally
hit Archer and the two men quarreled
and had q rough and tumble fight.
This did not. satisfy them and they
agreed to fight duel. There was but
one revolver between them, and with
drunken gravity they agreed that the
pistol should should be used turn about,
the shots to be fired while the men
stood at opposite ends Of the barroom.
The choice for first shot fell to Arch
er, and Nee taking his place at the
other end of the room, Archer blazed
away. The bullet struck Nee in the
head, ploughing furrow along the
scalp and causing profuse hemor-
rhage.
When Nee came to shoot be was
blinded by blood and 80 nervous from
the effects of the shot that he could not
aim, the result was miss, and Archer
then took a second shot, but also missed,
and handed over the revolver to Nee
for second shot.
By this time q crowd had been at
tracted to the saloon, but no one had
courage enough to enter. The men re-
fused to pay any attention to calls to
desist, and Nee fred at Archer. shoot
ing him through the hand. He took
the gun to Archer for a fifth shot, but
before it could be fired the crowd rushed
in, grabbed the revolver and put g
stop to the desperate proceedings.
Neither Of the wounds inflicted is at
all serious.

The Coming Mechanic.
1Scientific Americana


The coming mechanic, bred in train
ing schools, will be a very different man
from the mechanic ofthe present. Even
the young mechanic who is now learn
ing in the shop will, in some important
respects, be at disadvantage when no
comes into contact and competition
with the young mechanic who is now
in the school. The shop graduate may
be practical" with the added advant-
age Of wide theoretical knowledge. The
shop graduate may beable,to do all the
work planned or designed for him, and
the school graduate will be able not
only to do the work, but also to do the
planning and the designing. In every
way the school graduate will have all
the good points Of the shop graduate,
with added good points due to wider
information, while he will lack most of
the bad points Of the shop graduate.

EARL RUSSELL'S BRIDE.
Wooed and Won in the Disguise Of Ne
chanic.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The young Coun-
tess Russell is now recovered and the
happy pair have proceeded on their
honeymoon. There is romantic story
connected with their marriage which
runs thus: Earl Russell is partner. in
the electrical works at Teddington,
near the house in which Lady Scott
lives, and is an Enthusiastic worker in
the business, which he constantly su-
pervises. Lady Scott ordered: some
electrical fittings at the works and
Lord Russell took gang of men over
to the house and set to work, dressed
in ordinary mechanic fashion as fore
man of the gang.
When lunch time came the men
were set down to refresh themselves in
the servants hall, and his Lordship
sat down quietly with the rest to eat.
However, "Baby" Scott, as the
young heiress Of the house was called,
had noticed the superior bearing and
manners Of the supposed young fore
man, and, in willful way, begged her
mother to ask him to lunch in the
parlor.
At first the old lady was indignant
at the idea Of bringing a mere paid
foreman into position of temporary
equality, but in the end gave way to
.'Baby's" pleading, and the supposed
workman was promoted to the upper
chamber, where he made himself so
much at home that he won the heart
of the young lady, who, in romantic
mood, suffered the handsome young
mechanic to whisper soft nothings in
her ear while she blushed responsively.
Clandestine meetings followed, with
the usual result. The young couple
met, loved and were plighted before
Lady Scott was aware Of the daugh-
ter's rash folly. When rumor of the
state of things reached the maternal
ear her ladyship hurried off to the
electrical work on vengeance bent and
inquired of the first man she met for
the audacious young foreman.
"Foreman, my lady" answered the
workman. "Bless your art, my lady,
that warn't no bloornin' foreman;
that's our master"
"Then your master is very impu-
dent, presuming fellow" cried her
ladyship, in a rage. "What's his
name?'
"H'earl Russell, my lady. and a
right down good one he is, too, and
knows his trade as if he weren't no
lord at all, but a real knight of labor"
The old lady was thunderstruck, and
the next time the Earl met his loved
one he was gently reproached with his
stratagem. The Earl excused himself
on the old plea that he wanted to be
loved for himself alone, without the
glamor of rank and riches.
The maiden coyly asked him if he
was convinced of her truth. He an
swered in the affirmative and together
they faced the mother, who received
them graciously, protesting that she
had seen bis native nobility through
the coarse disguise of fustian jacket.
Then came formal betrothal, then
the wedding, afterwards the accident
and now the honeymoon.

A Moonless Month.
CGolden Days.]

The month of February, 1885, was in
one respect the most remarkable in the
worlds history. 1t had no full moon.
January had two full moons, and so
had March, but February had none.
Do you realize what a rare thing in
nature that was? 1t had not occurred
since the time Of Washington, nor since
the discovery Of America, nor since
the beginning of the Christian era, nor
the creation of the world. And it will
not occur again, according to the COM
putation of astronomers, for how long
dosyou think?-2,5OO, 900 years. Was not
that truly wonderful month?

And His Stomach for Yor Years Where His
Left Lung Should Have Been.
New York SUM-

Deputy Coroner Jenkins made an au-
topsy yesterday on the body of Albert
L. Johnson, the inventor, who dropped
dead in the Equitable building on Tues
day Afternoon, and discovered most
remarkable case of displacement
of the organs of the body. The
heart, which was abnormally fat, had
moved over to the right side of the
chest, the stomach, spleen, pancreas,
and a greater portion of the large and
small Intestine had passed up into
the left pleural cavity and consid-
erably compressed the left lung. The
heart, besides being displaced, was
compressed. A tree fell on Mr.. John
son years ago and his diaphragm was
ruptured. It is believed that the gen
eIal displacement of the organs in his
body occurred at that time and had ex-
listed ever since.

HAWES HANGED At LAST.
The Famous Birmingham Butcher PAYS
the Penalty of his Crime.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 2S.-At
three minutrs before one one O'Clock
this afternoon Richard R. Hawes was
hanged in the jail yard in this city.
The hanging was attended with no
extraordinary circumstances, and aside
from the fearful atrocity of the crime
the hanging would have been in all
respects commonplace.
Hawes yesterday told one,,of his spirit
ual advisers tnat while he never COM
mitted the murder himself he was as
guilty as the person who did the killing,
for he had paid for the work.
