FOR A FOUL CRIME,

Two Wisconsin Men Arrested for Com-
plicity in the Drake Murder.
VIRoQUA, Wis, Aug. 14.-The we'll
worn adage when rogues fall out hon.
est men get their dues, seems to have
a good moral exemplification in the case
OF the murder of the old people Reuben
Drake and wife, and their two grand
children, in the town of Kickapoo sew
eral years ago, for which crime, on his
W confession, Andrew Grandstaf, a
bully and tough, was lynched in this
city n week later. That he had con-
federates in the murder has been be-
lieved by the neighbors, and the father
of the murdered children, James Dupee,
has scarcely slept, so vigilantly has lie
pursued the characters whom he sus-
pected of being implicated in the affair.
The arrest of Irwin J. Fowler, in Rich
land county has opened up some
that gave promise of connecting three
or four more with the affair.
Fowler arrived here at noon in CHS
tody Of Sheriff Pollard and is incarcer-
ated in the county Jail. He stoutly af-
hrmed his innocence and disclaimed
having ever made a confession of com.
plicity to Charles Smith or any other
person. When asked where he was on
the night of the murder he replied that
he could prove by at least four of the
members of Michael Welch's family
that he spent the night there. The
district attorney and deputy sheriff i'm
mediately went to the WEIGH farm.
three miles distant from the city, and
there learned OF positive authority of
the family that he was not there: that
he left their employ several days preyi-
u to the murder. Fowler will be ar
raigned. Warrants are out for the
arrest of two others supposed to be con-
nected with the murder.
Frank Carey has been arrested in La
Crosse, charged with being implicated
in the murder.

The Russian Rye Ukase.

BERLIN, Aug. ia great sensation
was caused here by the report of the
Russian uhase against exports of rye
meal. Grain brokers have received
private kilograms confirming the an
nouncement. The latter, however,
state that the prohibition dates from
Aug. q, not taking effect Immediately
IS at first reported. Even this brief
respite affords much relief. Values fell
fell somewhat on the Berlin bourse
when the news was received. Some
restriction of export had been foreshad-
owed, but the total prohibition was a
great surprise. Herr Richter and the
Radicals are taking advantage of this
episode to renew their demands for an
abolition of the German duties on grain,
thus enabling the poor, with whom rye
Is an important article of food, to
buy other grain in its place. Rye
has risen in price almost to an equality
with wheat. Many newspapers join in
the cry of free grain, but Chancellor
Won Caprivi shows no sign Of yielding to
the clamor. The full effects of the
Russian ukase will not be felt, however,
for a few weeks. Rye cannot be obtained
from other countries to take the place
of the Russian product, and the rise in
the prices of breadstuffs which is Ger
tain to occur, will increase the feeling
in favor of remedial measures by the
government, and strengthen the hands
of the opposition. 1t is believed that
Russia will suffer financially from the
Ukase,

Mr., Gamble came to Yankton from Wis
consin in 1873 and began the practice of
law, in which he was very successful.
From the time he located here he was
prominent in political circles, and the time
was when tie Republicans of the territory
could not make a 10Y without his APP
proval. Ills name has always been fore
most in political conventions, and he had
much to do in shaping the affairs of his
party. Last spring he was nominated to
succeed Congressman Clifford, and was
elected by a large vote. In March he Wis
tied Washington and was sworn in and
would lave taken his seat in December
next. File intended to remove his family
to the national capital. The deceased was
a member of the lower branch of the ter
ritorial legislature in 1879 and of the ppe
house of the legislature in 1881 and 1856.
He was a member of the first constitu-
tional convention for South Dakota, and
was chairman of the Republican state
convention for four years. His early edu-
cation was secured at Appleton and Fox
Lake, Wis. He leaves a wife and three
children. The death of Congressman
Gamble will revolutionize the politics of
the state to a certain extent. as it removes
from the party one of the most exper-
fenced supporters. A special election will
be necessary to fill the vacancy caused by
his death. as the governor has no power to
appoint his successor.

Harrison Not In 1t.

CHICAGO, Aug. ia special to The
Herald from Cape May, N. j., says:
President Harrison will, before the
meeting of the Republican national con-
vention of 1899, declare over his own
signature in the most emphatic manner
that he is not q candidate for the NOM
ination to be made by that convention.
The president decided upon this course
within the last two weeks, and his pur-
pose in calling here, a few days ago,
Chairman Clarkson, of the national
committee, and Stephen B. Elkins, was
to tell those gentlemen that they might
inform those Republicans who are tax
ing sides either for o. against the re-
nomination of the president that they
Are Doing So Unnecessarily.
The decision Of the president not to
permit his name to 60 before the con-
vention was made with some reserva-:
tons. These reservations depend upon
three conditions:
First, if the present bitter opposition
within the Republican party to Mr..
Harrison's denomination shall continue
till next spring he will withdraw; Sec
ond, if Mr.. Blaine shall be we'll and
strong enough to take the nomination,
and the party's demand for him con-
tinues rs strong and sincere as it APP
pears at the present time, Mr.. Harrison
will withdraw; third, if Mr.. Blaine,
having sufficient health and strength,
shall be willing to take the nomination.,
Mr.. Harrison will withdraw. The in
formation that the president has
reached this decision is from q source
Not to Be Questioned
rs to its accuracy and trustworthiness.
Mr.. Blaine knows that the president
occupies this position. Mr.. Clarkson,
Mr.. Elkins, Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Plat
know it. MI. Quay has been advised
not to force his Blaine boom in Penn
sylvania, and he has called a halt. The
Harrison-B Blaine programme, which all
the bosses have been given a chance to
fall in with, is that no movement
shall be instituted for q presidential as
pirant. neither for the president, nor
for Mr.. Blaine, nor for any other man,
If it can be prevented. The party, with
out manipulation or organized efforts to
influence it, is to be permitted to make.
Its own choice for the presidency.

Tennessee Conviots Escape.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. l4.-seven.
convicts have made their escape from.
the stockade at Briceville. It is charged
that when a convict manages to get
away from the stockade and dodge the
guards so as to get out into the woods,
he has no trouble in finding some one
who will provide him with citizens
clothes. Fourteen have escaped this
week. One reason for the ease with
which they have escaped is the great
number crowded together in stockades
not finished.

Look to America Now,

LONDON, Aug. l3. The Daily News
commenting on the Russian rye ukase,
says: 1t is reassuring to learn that the
crops in the United States promise an
exceptionally large yield. The Ameri-
can farmers are masters of the situa-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that they will
use their strength mercifully. The
making of corners in the necessaries of
life is never laudable, and at the present
juncture it would be little short of
fendish.
English papers generally are much
disturbed by the ukase. The prevailing
impression is that Great Britain will
suffer extensively, though not so much
al Germany and Austria.
