INNOCENT VICTIM.
Jack Marion Hanged for Killing a
Man Who Is Alive.

A dispatch from Beatrice, Neb., says:
More than fifteen years ago "Jack" Marion
and one Cameron setout together in q wagon
on a trip, aud were last seen at the Blue
River, near here A few days later the sup
posed body of Cameron was found in the
Blue River, and when it was discovered
that Marion had been seen with Cameron's
team and goods in his possession he was sus-
pected of numbering his companion. He
was not arrested until ten years afterward,
and was tried several times and finally exc
cuted in March, 1887. William, Wymore.
an uncle of Marion, has always belived the
latter innocent, and has at length
proved it by finding Cameron alive
in La Crosse, Kansas. Cameron had
gone Immediately to Mexico, thence to
Alaska, after leaving Marion on the banks
of the Blue River, and had returned from
Alaska only year ago. Hearing for the
first time Of Marion's execution, and fearing
himself amenable to the law, he concealed
his identity, but remorse caused him to re-
veal 1t. he is fully identified.

RELICOF INDIAN BUTCHERY
The Sign Of the Red Cross Not Rec.
ognized by Ped Warriors.

The United States War Department has
received from Post Surgeon John Van R.
Hof, Of Fort Riley, Kan, a battle marked
relic of the late war with the Sioux in South
Dakota. 1t is an ambulance guidon, which
has upon its field of white the sign OF the
Red Cross.
According to the terms of tho Geneva
Convention tbs cross, When properly dis
played, is respected by all combatants in
civilized warfare. There are more than
dozen holes in the guidon, made by the
shots from the Indians weapons, and Major
Hoff, in his letter accompanying it, ex-
presses the opinion that the Geneva Conven-
ton cuts no figure in Indian warfare.
The guidon was one of those displayed in
the Wounded Knee fight, when Hospital
Steward Pollard was killed while going to
the reliet OF wounded man. Priyates
Richard Costper and William Girdwood
were grantad certificates for galantry dis
played in this fight, as well as In the fight at
White Clay Creek.

BLUNT PRINCE GEORGE.
In Disgrace Because He Did Not Fiat
ter the Czarevitch.

In Disgrace Bccau}e nc Dlu NoI L iat-
ter the Gzarevitch.
The letter which recently appeared in the
Berangske 1Tdende OF Copenhagen, in which
Prince George Of Greece gave a de-
tailed account of the attack upon the
Czareyitch at Otsu, near Kioto, Japan, by q
Japanese policeman, has greatly altered the
estimates which were at first formed at st.
Petersbur2 of the Princes action upon that
occasion, and has been the means OF placing
him in terrible disgrace in that city.
The reason Tor the altered feeling enter
tained for tho Prince is the fact that he
caused to be published biz own account OF
the attack upon the Caarevitch without pre-
viously submitting the manuscript for revIs-
ion. It Is considered here that the
story ns told 10y Prince George en-
phaSizes certain runorS that the Car
evitch did not exhibit much bravery when
he was attacked. Particular otfense is taken
at the statement in the Princes published
letter that after the Czarevitch had been
struck, aud while he was endeavorlng to
make his escape from his assailant, he tum-
bled to the ground through sheer fright.

COOLEST OF JULYS.
While the Year as a Whole So Far
Has Been Overwarm.

Has Been Overwarm.
Never in the history of the United States
Weather Bureau at Washington has there
been so cool July. In all parts of the
country east of the Rocky Mountains the
temperature has been below the normal.
Throughout the lake regions, northern New
York. and New England the GOODNESS has
been most perceptible. On several occasions
the minimum temperature in northern New
York and along the borders oe the lakes to
Michigan has been within twelve degrees OF
freeing, and in Canada just north OF the
lakes st reached the freezing point.
In New York City there has been deh-
oerat1lre below the normal of twenty years,
although the record shows an excess OF
temperature OF 34l degrees since Jan. lst.
This shows that the winter months were
warmer than usual.

Riots have also occurred at Haimen and

a new tax on salt and requiring the whole OF
the hkin on opium for imperial purposes is
mentioned as one Of the chief causes OF the
present ferment.
