appreciated and I would be very much
gratifed IL I could only feel convinced
that It is just, good and beneficial TO all
industrial classes and in harmony with
our conceptions Of unselfsh pure reform.
/ can understand that In some particu-
Lar locality and for certain purposes we
may make appropriations Of money by
special Legislation which may really re-
Sultin the increase Of the country's wealth
and be beneficial to all lis citizens, such as
the protection-by construction Of levees
--of the rich productive low lands Of the
Mississippi valley. II we have rich arid
lands that can be made productive by
irrigation they will contribute to the
peoples comfort and necessities and add
to the wealth of our country. Again, II
by deepening and improving harbors and
rivers we lessen the cost of transporta-
tion, both producer and consumer are
benefited. Hence, it Is the duty Of the
government to legiSlate and appropriate
money for the above purposes, and no
reasonable person would call il class legiS-
lation.
"The prosperity" says Brother McTal-
lin, "of agriculture, underlles that ofevery
other legitimate interest; and without
this prosperity every other viii languish."
In this we are In perfect harmony with
the editor of THE ADVOCATE, and no
country can afford to neglect her agricul-
tural interests nor allow the agricultural
classes to be oppressed or burdened with
debt and unjust taxation. No branch Of
industry needs such watchful care nor
can justly claim the special attention and
Legislation from our national government
equal with agriculture. No other branch
Of industry Is so risky or uncertain; our
crops are 80 liable to ravage and ruin In
80 many ways, our hogs to be suddenly
swept away by cholera and our horses,
cattle and sheep by disease. Year after
year the days of toll and drops OF sweat
may be all lost to the farmer.
However scientific q man may be In
his farming, however business-like and
intelligent in his method, success de-
pends 30 much upon favorable conditions,
influences and elements over which we
have no control, hence / think we have
extra strong argument In justification Of
the agricultural classes asking for special
consideration from our national govern
ment But really, does il harmonic with
our declaration Of purpose and platformf
If we ask for legislation and appropria-
tion Of money In favor Of a certain class
Of products definitely named all Of one
branch Of industry, would 1t not be leigs-
lation in favor Of the producer Of those
enumerated productsY
! know It is possible for us to become
so thoroughly organized that each branch
Of industry shall bs so educated as to
recognize the fact that our interests are
mutual and that each will work for the
benefit Of all. But until this can be ac-
compllshed will there not be q great
effort made by our enemies to convince
the mechanic, the miner and the opera
tive that our object Is to get legislation
in our favor so that we can hold our pro-
ducts for higher prices and hence raise
the price OF food to the consumer?

Ernest Schroeder, to Escape
Arrest, Put a Bullet
In His Brain.
He Was the Discarded Love
and Murderer of Annie
Bree.

Bree, at Gladstone has been aveng
ed and the man who, beyond any
reasonable doubt, took her life, has
by the act of his own hand, follow
ed his victim to the unknowable.
Early yesterday morning Chic
Clark ordered dozen policeman
and detectives to search the woods
in the vicinity of the murder in
the hope of capturing alive Or find:
ing the dead body Of Ernest Sch
roeder, the farm hand upon whom
suspicion was directed from all
sides. Five mounted police pa
trolled the roads from St. Paul to
Saltwater, and all trains were care
fully watched. The story told by
Andrew Kohler, for whom the mur-
dered woman worked as housekeep-
er, and the evidence secured by the
police yesterday morning, left no
doubt but that Schroeder was the
man who fired the charge of shot
through the window of the kitchen
of Kohler's house.
The police learned that Schroed-
er Thursday went to Burkhardt's
store on jackson street and pur-
chased a shotgun for $16 and re-
volver for "a lat the same time buy
ing a number of BIB cartridges for
the shotgun. Friday he returned
to the store and said they were not
heavy enough, and exchanged them
for No. l, heavier caliber. Dur
ing the day he went to Hamm's
brewery, where he formerly worked
and told some of the men that he
had been whipped that morning by
Kohler, that he had also defrauded
hin, If $75 and wnnld oct nunn with
him. At 5 in the afternoon he was
seen walking on the shore of Lake
Phalen by a driver Of one Of Hamm's
brewery wagons, and at that time
he carried a double-barreled shot
gun over his left shoulder. The
police had no doubt after securing
the above evidence that Schroeder
was the man who shot Annie Bree,
and the general surmise was that
after committing the dastardly deed
he shot himself while hiding in the
dense woods.
Yesterday afternoon Marshal
Strouge was informed that Schroed-
er was seen on north Thirteenth
street, whereupon he at once hitch
ed up his horse and buggy and TAX
ing the informer with him went in
pursuit of the murderer. When
they came in sight of him he began
to run but was overtaken in the
dense brush that lines the road,

Schroeder had his hand
in his hip pocket and when the
called to him to halt, he
uttered an imprecation in German

His death was instantaneous.
The marshal placed the body in
the buggy and took it to the city
hall, where it was laid out.
The cause Of the murder was the
woman had deceived him, she hav-
ing been scduced by young man

THE BORE IN THE AMAZON.
Il Curions Phenomenon Oh -erved in Great

The "bore' in great rivers is curious
phenomenon concerning which we get
some interesting Information from the
recent United States supplement to the
sailing directions Of the east coast of
South America. The bore on the Anna
Zon seems to partal1e OF the character
Of a tidal wave. 1t sometimes occurs i'll
the western branch Of the Amazon near
spring tides, but generally confines it,
self t., the shadows and at1luents, and
is not dlnyerous in depths greater than
four fatEloms.
1t announces its presence by q roar
which is heard at 4 distance of several
miles. This ominous noise increases
as the wall of water approaches, and
t;len the front Of the bore, from five to-
twelve feet in height, suryes in with q
breaking force and spreads over the.
shallow waters OF Maraca island and
the estnarics of the Araguri river. The
velocity is from twelve to fifteen miles
an hour. Str;an:s. as it my seem. the
lAno:ncnon never develops except at
low tide, anl is most frequent md de-
structivc 1T tn, cluinox4,. Tlc Chinese
rivers have the mo It rom tr.lablc bores.'
Then comes the Amazon.
Som. tim IS three Or four Of these great
waves dash up the river in quick sue
cession. The explanation OF the phe-'
no!nonon is easy. It is plrtly due to
the trades and partly to the prevalence
of strong winds, peculiarly favorable to-
the form. ..tiol OF Il wall of water. The
storm wave Of a cyclone seems to unit,

spectators of the performance in the tent,
two small boys were crushed to death
and a number OF people seriously injured.
The postofice building also collapsed, two
women being injured, one seriously. The
roof OF the Omaha elevator was torn

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Post this
morning prints an interview with Aquilla
j. Daugherty, United States consul at
Gallao. Peru. who has Just returned from
tina country, in which he says: The pres
ent war IN Chill is the most ridiculous
revolution ever known or read of. 1t does
not deserve the name of revolution. The
revolutionists are stationed at I~quique,
several hundred miles from Santiago,
where Balmaceda has his headquarters.
Balmaceda has a force of 10000 men at
his command. and the insurgents have
1000. Between the two capitals of the
opposing forces lies a mountain range that
Is simply impossible by any armed force.
There is absolutely nothing upon the bar
rem range of rugged mountains to sus-
tam an army, aud it is Impossible to carry
across it that which would support an
army. The insurgents nave no ships
with which to carry their ammunition
and stores, and if they had they would
soon be destroyed, for Balmaceda has the
whole coast protected by torpedo boats.
B~almaceda is we'll supplied with the sin
ews of war and goes on with the govern
ment, ignoring, to a great extent, efforts OF
the insurgents. The idea of a party of
revolutionists being 700 miles away from
the people against whom they have re-
volted, and totally unable to come nearer
to them, strikes an American as being
very far from what we would call an
insurrection or rebellion. In the mean
time, while the opposing party Is in
power. the insurgents are living well and
seem to be prosperinR. They occupy the
rich district of Tarapaca. with boundless
quantities of nitrates, the territory Chill
years ago, wrested from Peru. From the
large they derive from these
nitrates they are enabled to feed them
selves and live comfortably. Merchant
vessels put in at ~Iquique and trade In this
product as they did before the rebellion,
and the money thus brought to them is
the chief income of tho insurgents.
