Almost Unparalleled Torture of ChIidreh
by Their Parents,

Almost Unparalleled Torture OF Chlldreh
bv Their Parents,
BANGOR, Me-, May IA shocking
sase of child-torture is reported from
Old Town, a dozen miles up the river.
Fred Sawyer and wife, with two little
daughters, 8 and 10 years, live in a lit
tie white frame house on the outskirts
Of Old Town village. Sawyer himself
Is not regarded as a particularly vicious
man, but his wife is a veritable fend.
1t has long been known by the neigh.
bors that the little girls were not we'll
treated, but last week 1t was learned
that they were subjected almost daily
10 shocking abuse, the eldest Myrtle,
being especially maltreated. Several
persons declared that they had seen the
stepmother take Myrtle by the hair,
pull 1t from the head in handfuls and
then threw her violently to the ground,
while others have seen the unnatural
woman strike the child across the face
with a clnb with such fnrca az To
make her unconscious. Last night
q mob surrounded the Sawyers' house,
with the expectation Of capturing
him and his wife. They were too
late. The couple, having got wind of
what was going on, skipped from Ban
gor, leaving the children behind. The
oldest child presented a pitiful appear
snce, her frail little body being covered
With cuts, sores and bruises from head
70 foot. Her left wrist was broken and
her arm fractured, while the bridge OF
her nose was smashed in as though by a
blow from a club. 1t was found that
her wrist and arm had been broken six
weeks before by the st6pmother throw
ing the child heavily to the ground and
then kicking her, No attention was
paid to the child's sufferlngs, the saw
age stepmother threatening her with
instant death II she did not stop CRYING;
and, moreover, the helpless victim was
told that she certainly would be killed
y she complained to any one OF her
treatment. Not content with this, the
tigress actually sank her teeth repeat
edly int the arms and body of the VIC
tim. The girls clothing became glued
TO her flesh with clots Of blood, and the
physician who called was obliged to use
warm water to remove the garments.

Eloped With "A Travelling Man,

OwAToNNA, Mimi, May 1.-THE SEN
sation of the season here is the elope-
"heh' = OrJ AWAY "IVu anurew
Bulson, a travelling salesman for a Chi
sago drug house. Bulson's home is in
Michigan, and for the past year he has
been carrying on a clandestine court
ship with the pretty Mrs. Rolfe. Bull
son made his last visit here about a
week ago, and as usual he and Mrs.
Rolfe took advantage of every
opportunity to be in each others
company. Both parties are young,
good looking and well connected.
and the fair Juliet has constantly had
more male admirers here than the bet
ter element of society thought lust
proper under the circumstances. Her
husband seemed completely infatuated
with his pretty and ~vivacious wife and
was evidently blind to her weakness.
The erring couple were seen to leave
here together Tuesday night at 10
o'clock, Mrs. Rolfe's baggage being
checked upon the mileage book of Bull
son for Chicago. The distracted hus-
band was evidently not aware of this, as
ae went to st. Paul and Minneapolis in
search of them.

I'm SOUTH DAKOTA
An Interesting Review Of the Pre-
sent Political Situation
The Date or the Republican Conven-
ton n victory for Picker
probable Candidates.

Sioux FALLS, May i5.-The calling
of the republican state convention OF
Ses.h Dakota as late as August "a is
considered a victory for Congressman
Pickler. At the last republican conven-
ton at Huron C. +. Mccoy, Of Aberdeen,
was a candidate, but laid down for the
craftsmanship of the central committee.
This year the same bee is buzzing in his
bonnet, and he attempted TO get an early
convention SO that he could knock Pick.
Ter out before the latter could leave
Washington. The general sentiment is
that Mccoy cannot possibly reach the
nomination this year, nc matter what
snap judgments he may attempt. IL is
also doubtful whether Clifford will try
1t again. His eyes have troubled
him SO that he has been of no benefit
TO his state, Who will enter the field
TO take his place Is not known, though
Hon. s. e. Young, of this city, speaker
of the lower house of the last legisla-
ture, has been spoked of. 1t is rumored
that Mr.. Young declines to enter the
race. j. r. Gamble, Of Yankton, is
spoken Of, but the am cry has been
raised SO often, and equally as often in
effective, that people cease to condider
his candidacy with any seriousness.
Mellette will probably be renomin-
ated for governor. 1t is thought that
he has a strong desire to succeed SEN
ator Moody in the senate, but this he
cannot do. Mellette is not a dupe pol.
itician by any means, inclined TO be
egotistical and a chaser after strange
isms too often TO his political injury
Northumberland Fletcher made
such a painful failure as presiding officer
sf the last state senate that he
will come short Of denomination. But
Hellette will get there no that he can
be temporarily sidetracked and out of
the way OF other politicians.
The convention meets at Mitchell
md has a membership OF b36 Unless
something occurs TO create excitement
the convention will be one of the tam
est ~ held in the state.
South Dakota has recently been Wis
tied by rains OF such magnitude that
the crop outlook is very encouraging.
Reports received from various points In.
aicate a fine prospect. 1t is TO be hoped
that this bright outlook may continue
light along. South Dakota needs crops

Carlisle Nominated.

LOUISVILLE, May 17.-Hon. John G..

Lindsay, 33; McCreary, 30. Senator
Smith then withdrew McCreary and the
fight was ended. The ninth ballot, all
counted, gave Carlisle ~. Amid wild
cheering a voice was heard moving to
make the nomination unanimous by &C
clamation. The motion carried. Car
isles vote gave him Is majority. The
congratulations are general over the re-
suit, which is in harmony with a large
majority of the voters OF the state.

Sober Johns Hopkips.

Johns Hopkins university is a steady.
going place, containing a few dudes and
no students who lead the sumptuous
lives that characterize the Harvard men.
The classes are made up largely of
manly fellows who mean business and
who have little time to devote to college
frivolity.
Sectarianism finds no favor In the in
s~titution, and the religious spirit Of the
students may be judged by the fact that
the average daily attendance at prayers
Is about twenty. There has been little
class feeling at the university, owing
partially to the absence OF the dor.

that the men are allowed to take. Still

LIQUOR IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Prohibitionists Concede ina h Origin
Package Decision Permits Sales.

Prohibitionists Concede TIA the Original
Package Decision Permits Sales.
ABERDEEN, S. D., May 1.-THE first
original package case arising in South
Dakota was dismissed today. The hear
ing arose upon the question Of whether
the district attorney Of Brown county
should file information against men at
Claremont alleged TO have received Ave
cases of beer from St Paul. Witnesses
were examined and the district attorney
found no sufficient evidence upon
which to Ale an Information. The
beer, in fact, was ordered before the law
went into effect, but did not arrive until
May 3, thus preventing a clear infrac-
ton OF the state law, as the consignee
gave It away. The finding of the dis
triot attorney is regarded here as an in
direct way OF recognizing the decision
of the United States supreme court, and
though in no sense a precedent, prose-
cutions under the state law in a similar
state of facts are improbable. Prohibi.
tionists generally concede that the fed
eral decision makes the sale Of liquor in
packages legal.

Kemmler is one Of the men who have
fame thrust upon them. Under ordIn-
airy circumstances, an everyday, brutal,
half-witted fellow who had killed his
mistress would have been ~strangled and
forgotten long ago. His being the first
man condemned to death under the
electrocution law has kept him a long
time before the public. Now a more
interesting question than any has
arisen. If Kemmler is not killed under
the new law, will he be killed under
the old, or will he he set free? And if
he is set free, will a whole batch Of
able-bodied ]murdcrers be turned loose
upon the community with him? II he
finds a lawyer to defend him as earn
estly and persistently from death by
strangling as he has been defended from
the electric current, he will very proba-
bly, be set free. But such a contingency
is not at all likely. When the electric
companies are N longer interested Mr.
Kemmler will lose his mysterious
friends.
