HE TAGGED THE CoRPsEs.
Identification Of the Dead by a
Citizen OF Red Wing.

Special to the Globe.
LAKE CITY, Mimi, July 14.-George
w. Cook, of Red Wing, was visiting at
Camp Lakewood. and did the work of
half a dozen men in assisting in the res
cue of the Sea Wings precious load.
He says: About 7:3O the wind, which
had been blowing gale all day, in
creased in its fury. and soon the sky
was covered with dark, heavy, black
clouds. The lightning was sharp and
inceSsant. At the wharf below me stood
the excursion steamer Sea Wing, with
Capt. S. N. Wethern in the pilot house,
blowing the boats whistle every
moment or so to call his passengers.
The towline was dropped about SIS.
and as the lights Of the steamer were
seen Pickering in the center of the lake,
l remarked that thought it hazardous
to make the start. A moment later the
trees near me were bent nearly to the
ground and many snapped like pipe
stems. The rain fell in torrents.
Hail fell the size of hickory nuts.
A long, funnel-shaped cloud approached
the steamer, and in moment the boat
was lifted in the air by the tornado and
dropped back into the depths. The
walls and meanings were heard at a
distance of mile by farmer. who
came to see what had happened. Those
who were in the barge were nearly all
saved. about thirty in number. Iu con-
versation with the captain, he said he
gave instructions to man who was in
the pilot house with him to have the
ladies jump into the barge. In
stead of doing this he went
down ard shut the cabin doors
and in moment all went to the bottom.
including the captains wife and boy.
AS soon as the first storm abated my
companion and secured lanterns and
rushed to the shore. With the aid of
the flashes of lightning we discovered
the steamer lying on her side. We gave
signal for help, and soon the shore
was crowded with reScuers and every
roWboat put in service. While walking
along the shore looking for bodies one
young man, who had just left the barge,
threw his arms around my friend and
cried: "My two sisters and my
sweetheart, whom 1 was to marry
next week, have gone to the bottom!'
Many of my friends who came from the
barge threw their arms about my neck
and cried like children. They said:
'sMany of us who never prayed before
prayed tonight" N. K. Simmons, who
was aboard, says: ''You never heard
such praying" Arriving at the scene
of the wreck, / got pencil and paper
and placed a tag on each body rescued
which was brought ashore,

MERRIAM's LAST SCHEME
To Betray st. Paul and SqueIch
the Census Fraud to Get Hen
TO-

To Betray st. Paul and SqueIch
the Census Fraud to Get Hen
nepin's Vote.
ST. Paul Daily News.
Of all the disreputable schemes TO
foist W. r. Merriam on the Republican
party for another term, the most das-
tardly has just come to light.
The interests of st. Paul, or of the
state, are nothing to these vile schem-
erS.
They even invade the sacred precincts
of the United States courts to accom-
pllsh their object, and do not hesitate to
involve United States officers and the
department of justice in their infamous
plots.
The latest scheme on the part of Gov.
Merriam and his friends ought TO SUBJ
ject him to public distrust everywhere.
The people of this city will be surprised
to learn that Overtures have been made
to Minneapolis that if the Hennepin
county delegation in the Republican
state convention will support W. r.
Merriam for denomination the cases
against the Minneapolis census emu
meratOrs, now pending in the United
States courts, will be dropped.
L W. uCCbiiSo WClC uclQ db
apolls the latter part of last week to
effect this compromise, the last one on
Saturday at Fred Pillsbury's office.
A square proposition was made that
If the Hennepin county delegation to
the Republican state convention would
swing i'm and support Merriam inhu-
ences would be brought which would
cause the cases against the Minneapolis
census enumeratorS now before Special
District Attorney Baxter to he dropped.
Thus would this Scheming politician
enter the temple of justice itself, and
defile its sacredness for the purpose Of
serving his ends. Could anything be
more infamous?
People of st. Paul, how do you like
this betrayal of your interests?
For the sake of befriending the poor
enumerators, some of the Hennepin
delegation have been disposed to sup
port Merriam. But we can assure them
it will do no good. The cases will be
prosecuted to the bitter end, and all the
more energetlcally now that this in
famous plot has been discovered.
Any other course now would seriously
compromise the United States depart
ment of justice.

MERRIAaI's DICKER.

There is a rumor afioat in political
circles, which seems to he we'll authenti-

dicker with the Republican bosses of

vote in the Republican state convention

Blaine, Wash, and Miss Alice Rosen-
hout, of Keokuk, To-, met and were
married. The couple had met and
loved at Keokuk, but papa and mamma
did not approve Of the match. They
wanted Miss Alice to marry another
man, but the young lady stubbornlv re-
fused to marry any one but the man of
her choice. DR.. Burke in the meantime
had removed to Blaine and built up
lucrative practice. Miss Rosenhout
slipped away from home and came

KEEPS THEM ABOUT EVEN.

If is the general fact shown by Stats
tics that nature is careful to preserve
the substantial numerical equality of
the sexes. A further evidence of intel
ligent supervision is seen in the fact
that inequalities are rectified in good
time. In the new settlements, for in
stance, that have large excess of
males, the majority of the births al
most invariably are of the other sex.
In the aggregate there are more male
than female infants, but at twenty there
are more females than males. The
numbers soon become almost exactly
equal; then for few years the males
are in the majority. In the fourth dec
ade of life the women have the greater
number, and after seventy the excess
increases. The last census shows less
than 100000 more males than females
in this country. That there was any
excess of males was due to the infants.
1t must necessarily be that the original
scheme would provide for equality of
sexes: but it is one of the phenomena
of things that nature can keep so close
to the theory.

It's Final Result.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The purpose is to build up a Republt-
can party in the South and strengthen
the hold of that party on the govern
ment of tine country by increasing the
Republican membership from the South
in congress. Ii the better class of Re-
publicanS in the South are to be be-
lieved the effect is likely to be the exact
contrary. According to these predic-
lions by the men most interested in the
successful accomplishments of the Osten-
sible purpose of the bill. the effect of
its enactment into law will be a
revival of race enmities, the reminding
of old animOsitles, probably renewal
of scenes of violence and bloOdshed,
with the final outcome of an unbroken
Democratic delegation from the South
and the destruction of Southern Repub-
lican hopes for twenty years to come.
Growing Republican Outrage.
Albany Argus.
The very foundations of liberty would
be subverted by such law. 1t aims at
the complete humiliation of the consti-
tutionaI rights of every state. for it
takes the control of elections out of the
hands of the state authorities. Under
its provisions the states would become
mere provinces, governed from Wash
ingtOn. and Capitalization would be eS-
tablished in its most offensive form. 1t
is to be hoped that this browning out
rage of desperate political adventures
will not be coDSummated.

this morning in President Halls rooms
at the Clarendon.

Some time ago the officers of the alli-
ance announced through the daily
papers that rate of one and third
fare had been secured ON all railroads
for delegates attending the convention
tomorrow on the certificate plan. A
few days ago the Donnelly organ in
this city came out and charged that
no arrangements had been made. This
was charged up to the officers negli-
and it is only fair to state that it is UNI
true. Reduced rates will be given both
on all railroads and at the hotels in this
city, and this should be remembered by
all delegates.
