PERSONAL,

Gen. F. E. Spinner. ex-treasurer of the
United States, died at Jacksonville, Florida,
Of cancer, from which he has been suffering
for several years. Gen. Spinner was born at
German Flats near the present village OF
Mohawk, N. Y. in 1902. Gen. Spinner served
in congress from 1s45 to 1861, when he was
appointed treasurer to the United States by
President Lincoln, and Soon his autograph
became q prominent feature of the paper
money. His signature will always remain
one OF the curiositiss of chirography, and
many amusing anecdot are told in connsc.
ton with it. When Gen. Spinner retired to
private life in 1873, all the money in the
treasury had to be counted. Then it was
discovered that there was deficiency of one
cent, but after the memorable recount, re-
quiring several weeks, took place, the dis
erepsncy was found, and the general balane-
I'd his books and retired.

Her RecreAnt spouse.
. CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-An interesting story of
elopcment, long concealed identity and
final discovery in q madhouse, came to
light in the county court to-day. In 1882
Herman F. Boehne was prosperous tailor
living In New York city. Surrounded by a
wife and children, he lived happily until
another woman whose name has now been
forgotten by the unfortunate imbecile,
turned his affections from home and led
Boehne to elope with her. Six and a half
years ago the fleeing couple came to Chicago
and their New York friends lost all trace OF
them.
Boshne changed his name and was known
here as Albert Westfall. But he did not
prosper under the changed conditions. The
woman for whom he lett home deserted
him and Boehne became deranged, and in
June, 1889, he was committed to an asylum,
where his condition has steadily grown
worse until now he is an imbecile. His
wife succeeded at LAST IN finding him, and
to-day he was brought into court that his
identity might be established to the end
that at his death his wife may be able to
collect upon o life insurance policy for $40, =
600 made payable to her. His identity was
fully proved.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 5.-The orders tele
graphed from military headquarters tc
Capt Woodson, Of the Fifth cavalry, to dis
arm The Indians in the Cheyenne anC
Arapahoe county, have created the great
est anxiety among the settlers in Qklaho
ma and on the borders OF Texas, and genu
inc disgust among the troops. Takins
away their arms will, it Ia feared, have tht
effect of arousing spirit of resistance nov

The settlers do not seem at all disturbed
over the situation, believing in the ability
of the government to subdue the excite
ment among the Indians, who are mucf
more civilized and friendly than the North

Justice of the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Judge Henry B.
Brown of Michigan was this morning
sworn into office as an associate justice of
the supreme court of the United States and
took his seat on the bench.
The ceremonies, which were very brief,
were witnessed by large number of Mr.
Browns friends, including several ladies.
The new associate justice took his seat at
the left Of Justice Lamar and the routine
proceedings began. Chief Justice Fuller
took advantage of an opportunity his duty
afforded him to pay q neat little compli-
Inent to the new justice. He was instructed
by the court to announce its decision in q
habeas corpus case brought here on appeal
from Justice Browns former district court.
In announcing the courts decision the
chief justice departed little from custom
and said:
We concur in the views expressed by
Judge Brown in disposing of this case in
the circuit court and the judgment is at-
frmed."

SITTING BULLS DEATH.
Complaints Against Agent Mclaughlin
in This Connection.

In Ih1S connection.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The News says that it is
stated on definite authority that complaints
of a serious nature are to be lodged
against Indian Agent Mclaughlin,
who directed the killing of Sitting
Bull. The complaints were suggested in a
mild way by number of army officers
whom Mr.. Porter visited. The sequel will
demonstrate the intense feeling which re-
suited from the Sitting Bull affair.
Agent McLaughlin's interference ce dis
turbed the cherished plans of the depart
ment of the Missouri and fastened if it did
not cause the present trouble.
II is alleged that 4here were
improper motives behind the
killing. The charges against Mclaughlin
and other Indian agents will be preferred
by army officers who are satisfied that the
Indian agents are responsible for the Indian
outbreak.
Interviews with number of army Off
GERS are then given. They are of different
tenor, but all agree that Mclaughlin acted
under orders and that the killing Of Sittins
Bull precipitated the recent battles.

PIN1 RIDGE AGENCY, S. d., Jan. 5.-The
indications that the greatest battle iu Indian
history is almost at hand are increasing.
The report of every scout adds new and
strong support to this view of the situation,
Gen. Miles has also said so in strong words.
The small handful Of Indian employees here
affirm it vehemently.
Extensive rifle pits are reported being
dug twelve miles west of here by the hos
tiles. Last night the hostiles burned
many, houses belonging to the settlers
along the White river; and finished killing
the last remnant of great herd OF
government cattle that they raided so heav-
ily about month ago and have been draw
ing on ever since The arrival here Of q
large number Of physicians indicates that
the war department is convinced that great
bloodshed is at hand.

STOCKTON, Kan, Jan. 5.-From Farming

destitution. Four years ago John Clifton
died and LEFT widow with five children.
Year after year the crops failed and the
poor woman was obliged to sell off her
stock until at last there was none left. This
year finished the fight, and when the re-
cent blizzard came it found the house with
neither focd nor fuel. The house was To-
Gated in the Blue hills, four miles from the
nearest neighbor. Saturday some persons
passed the house and seeing no signs OF lie,
entered, where they found the dead bodies
OF Mrs. Clifton and three of her children,
while the other two were in the last agOnies
of death. They had starved to death
Prompt attention was given to the living
but there il little hope for their recovery.

turer-.-the Platform.

The great convention of the Farmers Alli-
ance met in st. Paul. and contrary to expec-
tation there was no great fight between the
Donnelly land Anti-DonnelIy factors, and
Mr.. DonnelIy was promptly elected President
by the surprising vote of 592 for DonnelIy,
los for HalVorsen, 6 for Hall and 2 for
Owen. Most Of the 6rst day was spent in
organizing the convention, an unwisdy COM
mittee on credentials, causing a long delay,
but the time was occupied Eith the
delivery of speeches by Mr.. Donnelly
by Mr. Ashley of Iowa, lecturer of the Ma
tiOnal Farmers Alliance; FL. L. Loueks of
South Dakota, president of the Alliance OF
that state and late candidate for governor
on the independent ticket; Mr.. DonneIly
and Miss Eva Mcdonald. Mr. Ashley de-
tailed at length the difference between the
National Farmers Alliance, which is dis
tinctively the Northern organization, and
the National Farmers Alliance and industri-
al union. The Southern or secret order,
which recently held it's convention at Ocaia,
and adopted the famous "bubtreasury plat
form" An attempt had been made at St.
Louis to unite the two, but an organic
union at that time was deemed mad visable
and impossible owing to inherent diE
fercnces in the specific ends sought to be
reached by each, although their ultimate
aim. the emancidaton of the Industrial
and producing classes, was Identical.

Penniless Lords and Ladies' Who

Penniless Lords and Ladies' Who
Manage to Live In Grand Style.
Speaking OF English peculiarities,
there is no place on earth where the
financier becomes SO puzzled to know
how the great folks manage to live.
To prove this fact the Illustrated
American cites the fat, genial, witty
old duchess of Teck, penniless, as
every one knows, bankrupt, in debt,
and yet money flows through her
plump hands like water, and no
strawberry leaves rest on a more I'M
furrowed brow. She-the rotund
duchess--is said to be the brightest
talller in Great Britain, and strings
her enormously stout neck and arms
with glorious jewels, worth q kings
ransom. 1t is well enough to believe
that densely dull or over-ambitious
tradespeople are willing to supply a
ducal establishment for the prestige
such patronage bestows, but surely
with so lavish lady as her grace of
Teck the price would be too high for
any one establishment to bear great
length OF time. But then titled Eng
lish people thrive on debt. Men and
women are scarcely counted fashion
able who pay as they 60; and as all OF
ones acquaintance and friends are in
the same condition, there is nothing
to be ashamed OF or to worry over in
owing twice the value of ones entire

Our Universal Peace,

Nothing to be thankful for? Why,
man alive, you ought to be expressing
gratitude and giving thanks every
minute that you live in such times as
these, instead OF those 400 years ago.
You can't begin to appreciate what
immense blessings are the peace and
security to life and property that we
enjoy, until you read of the awful
times men had to live and husband at
all SO short a time ago. Here at
Washington we turn in to bed at 8,
or 10, or II o'clock and have no fear
that the MOBILES of Muscatine or the
feudal barons of Burlington will be at
our corporation line, before daylight
to cut our throats, fire our houses,
rape our women, take prisoners and
exact ransom and demand a vast sum
OF money. One such experience would
I'LL us with horror, and after it had all
happened, if we could be assured it
would never occur again, don't you
think we would all flock to our
churches Oh Thanksgiving day and
tire the ear of heaven with the pious
clamor of our praise?

How to Pour Bottled Beer.

At dinner, not long ago, some gen
tleman who were sitting at table with
Hugo Blanck, the noted chemist, OBJ
served that he exercised the greatest
care in pouring out a glass of beer.
He tilted the bottle gently and slowly,
so that the liquid passed from the
bottle to the glass without the least
disturbance, and when the glass was
full it had no collar Or froth upon it..
II could have understood your
CASE" said one, "If you had been
drinking Bass ale or Guinness stout,
that go on a rampage if not gingerly
handled, but confess can It see why
you bother so much about a glass Of
lager" r ~ ..s& H.
Mr.. Blanck cast a kindly look of
compassion upon the critic and said:
II thought every beer drinker knew
that it should be poured so as to
avoid froth. Surely such a simple yet
important fact is generally known.
No? I'm astonished. Why, if you
pour out lager beer headlong into q
glass, allowing foam to fill half the
measure, you lose the best ingredient
in the beer, the invigorating, lively
tonic-carbonic acid gas. Pour the
beer slowly and so, and Mr.. Blanck
illustrated his meaning by holding
glass and bottle inclined together,
"and you retain the carbonic acid
gas in the beer. In the old country
more attention this essential pre-
caution is paid, but | thought every
one knew about it here, even if they
overlook it's Importance. "-Pittsburg

One Way to Roast a Turkey.

l was among the first to enter the
new city of Chandler, IN Oklahoma
not as a boomer, but as boomers
caterer, a vocation which I decidedly
prefer. Business was marvellously
brisk while was there, and so far as
booking orders and taking in money
were concerned I did well. But the
fortunes of hunger and thirst we en-
dured were calculated to draw pro-
family from the most careful of men.
The best meal we had was off a wild
turkey secured in some inexplicable
manner. There were no cooking
utensils or appliances handy, but an
old pioneer who had been through the
mill before offered to prepare the
meal if allowed to share in it. His
offer was accepted, and his efforts
were watched with much incredulity
and very little hope. He simply
rolled the bird, feathers and all, in
mud until it was caked completely.
Then he roasted the queer-looking
concern over q wood fire. and when he
thought it was done tore off the
baked mud and clay. Feathers and
skin came with the covering, leaving
not very inviting skinless but we'll
Drowned bird. The boomer had
timed the operation to a nicely, the
turkey was cooked to a turn, and
though it was OF uncertain age, was
fairly tender and delicious in flavor.
Even making allowance for the sweet
samoa hunpnr ic admittnd To ha If ia
only common fairness to describe
that meal as success, and have
eaten many q worse-cooked and
tougher bird in a first-class restaurant.
