for thinking that Wheeler will be elected
governor OF Iowa In reply Mr. Clark sent
the following: Il think Mr.. Wheeler, the

INnNs LOOKING LIP

LYONS, Kan, Sept 27-[Special THE
matter OF greatest Importance to the citi-
zens of Lyons and vicinity that has oc-
Cured here for years was the failure OF
the Bank of Lyons. This was one of the
oldest and. as WAS generally supposed,
solidest banking institutions i'll the west.
They succumbed as final result OF the
crop failures of two or three wears ago.
Many of those who are well posted think
the bank will pay off all creditors in full
or nearly so. None of the other banks
that belonged to the same system of
banks is affected by this failure.
Our people noticed few days ago an
article on the EAGLES editorial page con
corning the Omaha, Kansas Central and
Galveston railroad, giving some valuable
points in connection with tue work being
done by this company We think, how
ever. that you are in error in your conieC-
lures regarding its being the work of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. But we
don't care who builds it so that il is built.
Lyons and Lyons men are doing all in their
power to get this great enterprise started.
Mr.. e. NJ. Rawlings, who is vice president
and general manager of the road, whose
home is in this city, has been in New
York about four months periecting ar
engagements, letting contracts and per
forming whatever things are necessary 10
get the work started. The general offices
of this company will be at Lyons The
machine shops will be at Lyons. and don t
forget that Lyons will be away in the front
OF the procession This road will be an
important factor in the greater develop
ment of our immense salt deposits.
The Lyons Rock Salt and Mineral COM
pany are shipping several car loads daily
of their crushed salt, mostly to The large
packers of the east. The Midland com
pauy are down about 400 feet with their
shaft and continue to sink about five feet
per day. There is a third shaft completed,
the company having organized. obtained
the mining leases, and interested eastern
capitalists in the matter sufficiently to fur
nish the capital. Each of these plsuts take
about 100000 TO put them in operation.
These, with our railroad prospects. make
the ordinary Lyous citizens feel a little
proud Of his citizenship.
The two political parties and the other
thing have each ticket in the field for
the suffrAges of the people, The Republi.
cans and Democrats each have a ticket.
The Peoples Industrial Uniou-A lliance.
La5or-W hat-is-it have also a ticket gener-
silly good honorable citizens, but neither
fitted by nature or education for the places
assigned them, and badly deluded in pol.
itical matters.

SURVEYORS LOST,

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. 2s.-Sev-
eral members of the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River railroad surveying party
which had been running lines through the
sinking water country in the big basin
beteen Buffalo and Yellowstone park,
separated from the main body nearly two
months ago, undertook the perilous enter
prise of running line through the Big
Horn canyon. Nothing has been heard
from them since and the other members
of the party have abandoned all hope of
ever seeing them again.
Except in winter, when the river Is
frozen over, there is not an instance on rec
ord ofany one travelling through this terri
BILE rent in the mountains and coming out
alive. One or two who made a portion OF
the journey have been nearly torn to
pieces and say it is more awful than the
grand canyon OF the Colorado and the
danger infinitely greater.

most destructive storm passed over the
northern part OF. thisRnd Brltrani gcoun-
ties, telling an immense amount ofspine
timber and causing some loss of life Par
ticulars are impossible to get, owing to
the remoteness of the section, which is
unsettled except by claim holders and
prospectors for timber and mineral lands
Whole townships are known to have been
swept over, the timber being leveled as
grain before the reaper. One man who
reached here, reports an almost marvellous
escape. He says that the chief of a sur,
veying party was struck by a tree and
killed Several United States surveying
parties are at work in the region devas-
tated. The damage is estimated at hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.

want the letter to fall into the hands of
people he had criticized. Much of the ex-
animation of McCamant today was rep

that Montenegro is in miserable condl

Montenegro for that purpose.

IRISH POLITICAL cONvICTS.


PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2S.-Michael Har-
kins, the Philadelphian who was
recently released from Portland prison,
where he had been serving a term of fiji
teen wears at hard labor for completely in
q dynamite plot against the queens life
during the celebration of her jubilee,
tells the history of the lrish-American
dvnamters and their terrible treatment in
Portland and Chatham prisons. which is
only equaled by the torture of political ex
lies in Siberia Many of Harkins' friends
believe that he aud his companions were
the victims of a conspiracy on the part of
tie Irish leaders in this country.
Early in the year 1887 Harkins and 9TH
ers were sent over TO England on dyna-
mite mission. A considerable amount of
money, raised in Irish secret societies to
defray their expenses. was placed in the
hands OF certain leaders, and was to be
forwarded to the dynamters as soon as
they landed ON English soil. The patriots
however had no sooner landed than they
discovered that detectives were on their
heels. watching every movement they
made from morn until night Their funds
became exhausted. ana they received none
ut the promised support. Soon afterwards
they were arrested, and after farcical
trial were convicted and condemned to
prison. All of this is a matter of history.
Harkins, in speaking of the imprisonment
Of the lrlsh-American political prisoners,
said:
