Who is the author OF the hymn, In
the Sweet By and ByF'
With regard to the authorship of this
now famous hymn there is a difference
of opinion. The author of the words is
believed to be DIR. S. F. Bennett, who,
while living in Elkhorn, Wis, wrote the
lines in a fit of mental depression. They
were set to music by Mr.. J. p. Webster,
a composer living in the same town.
Another version credits Mr.. Webster
with the authorship of the music and
the first verse of the hymn, which
was then completed by DIR. Bennett.
The credit Of both words and music
must be giveu to the two gentle.

War Among the Gamblers.

SOUTH SIOUX CRY, Ia, March 25.-
About 8 O'Clock this morning the White
House." in Stanton, an addition to South
Sioux City, came neal being the scene OF
a double murder. AS it is, John N. Pey-
son a OOvinRton saloon keeper and ex-
mayor of the village, will probably lose his
life. The exact particulars of the affair
are hard to get at, but they may be
summed up as follows:
Since the rsidinR of the gamblers in
Sioux City, Messrs. Owen and Court
wright have conducted a joint in the
White House in Stanton. Tuesday night
Peyson visited the place aud engaged in a
game of craps" 1t Is stated that he
lost money on every turn, and toward 3
o'clock in the morning a dispute arose
which irritated Peyson in the extreme, and
he then awoke to the fact that the house
was doing him. Peyson arose from the
game. drew his revolver and began -four
ishing 1t, swearing that he would clean
the house out.
A pitched battle with chairs, etc, en-
sued in which Peyson received several
scratches, but as there were no loads in
his revolver he finally made his way out
of the building. Repairing to his own
saloon he and his bartender, one Brown,
armed themselves and proceeded to the
scene of the difficulty and commenced to
clean out the place Brown fired his gun
at the crowd Of gamblers which had by
this time assembled in the saloon bar
room. The bullet passed through the
right side of Gambler Doc Middle
ton, inficting a fatal wound. Pande-
monium hen reigned and in the
fracas Peyson's skull was broken above
his left temple and his face horribly
mangled. 1t is thought the party who
inflicted Peyson's injuries wa Gambler
Owens. The gamblers made haste to get
over to the Iowa side. Peyson was picked
up aud taken to his home in an uncou-
scious condition. DR.. Allen of South
Sioux City was called and dressed the
wounds. The doctor says there is small
chance of Peyson's recovery. as concus-
sion of the brain will undoubtedly result.
Peyson regained consciousness long enough
to receive extreme JUNCTION from the priest
and to make his last will and testament.
Mrs. Pevson was absent at the desth bed
of her father. but was Immediately mott
fed OF the affair. Peyson is possessed of
considerable property. Should he die he
will leave his family IN comfortable cir
cumstanccs. All the parties connected
with the affair have the reputation of
being tough" and there appears to be
little sympathy for either side. No arrests
have been made.

night at St. Marks church to participate
in the Good Friday services. The Knights
Templar were present in full uniform, as
Good Friday is a day observed by the or.

Rev. DR.. Rafter delivered the sermon,
drawing a connection between the teach
ings of Christ and the duties expected OF
each member OF the order of Knights
Templar to succor the sick, to protect the
weak, to remember CHRIST was the Great
Commander and that among his last
words was the request for the disciples to
look after his mother. thus making the
widows and orphans all objects of their
protecting cure.

Charles Arbuckle was well known to
residents of Cheyenne. He first became
identified with Cheyenne business inter.
ests about four years ago when he became
largely interested with his brother John
and W. H. Force in the Post Percheron
Horse Association. Lately the immense
stock farm passed chiefly into the posses,
sion OF the three gentlemen named and
the title OF the company was changed to
the Royal Horse Association.
Mr.. ATbuckle has spent part of several
summers in this city.
The Arbuckle Bros. began business in
a very small way in Pittsburg, and the
coffee which they manufactured soon
secured wide spread consumption in the
West. They are rated as being worth
about Sc, 000, 900, and have for a number
of years past maintained their chief head
quarters in New York.

vince him that the Chinese in that pro-

he said he had got on the track of two
cases in which criminals had been tried
under their code and secretly beheaded
unknown to the local authorities. He is
of the opinion that many Chinese are
thus dealt with on the Pacific coast, which
the local police never hear of. 1t is
almost impossible to secure evidence to
convict them under the dominion law as
it means death to any one of them to re-
veal what goes on in their tribunals.

Portugal Takes tho Lions Share.

Portugal and the Congo State have been
disputing for year about the territory ol
the Muata Yamvo. and by the settlement
which was reached last week Portugal takes
nearly the whole OF IL. Only about one
sixth Of the great territory. which is larger
than tho empire Of Germany. falls to the
Congo State.
Every one has observed the strangely
shaped southern boundary of the Congo
State. Its very irregular outline is due
solely to the fact that when the boundaries
OF the State were fixed, King LEOPOLD and
his advisers thought 1t wise to give the DOW
er.ul Muata Yamvo o wide berth. They
could get along we'll enough with tho
hundreds OF petty chiefs who controlled

tarles, but they heeltated to assume any
control over 30 powerful despot a. the
Muata Yamvo. They therefore carefully
circled around his country In forming the
southern boundary OF the Congo State.
Portugal was not 80 easily scared, how
ever. and about five years ago shs sent the
explorer CARvALHo into Lunda to see what
he could find. Two years later he came
home and reported that Lunda was fair to
look upon, and that he had made treaties
with tho Muata Yamvo and his chiefs,
placing tho entire country under the pro-
lection Of the King Of Portugal. Then It
became known that tho Guats Yamvo.

A Rebuko and . Boast.

This passage concerning pension extrava-
gance is from the Buffalo speech Of the Hon.
GROVER CLEVELAND. It Is excellent in In.
tention and sound in principle:
"A few short years sro pension rsll amounting ia
6SoooOoo Of dollars willingly maintained By
patriotic otizsna To-day public sxtravagancs decfsss
thas three times that sum shall Be drawn from the
people upon shs prstsxt that the expenditure repre-
ssnis the popular love Of the soldier"
That is the rebuke.
A few short years ago this same gentle
man was candidate for reelection as Pres
ident Of the United States. Tho platform
approved by him and sent from Washing
ton to st. Louis for adoption by the Dem
ocratic National Convention. contained this
passage concerning tho pension payments
under the CLEVELAND Administration:
"whils carefully guarding the interest Of the tax.
payers and conforming strictly to the principles Of
lice and equity has paid out tor pensions and
oounttes to the soldiers ana sdtos Of repub an
sver paid oe,ore during an equal period"
That was the boast. It does not seem 10
US that the rebuke and the boast hang very
well together. One or the other must be
humbug. At the period referred to with
pride In the boast. the pension roll had long
and far surpassed the figure referred to in
the rebuke as legitimate and proper ex-
penditure for pensions.

The resignation Of Prof. PERRY, who has
taught political economy and history at WILL
Jams College for nearly forty years. is said to
have been due to somewhat singular circum-
stances. he had summoned . student to his
house to demonstrate With him for making a
disturbance in class the day before. He en-
phasized his remarks by vivacious gesticula-
tion. and his hand accidentally touched the
young mans cheek. Tho professor apologized
His apology was not accepted. The quick
tempered professor OF seventy kicked the
student down stairs. Tho student complained
to the President and Prof. PERRY resigned.
Tho natural suggestion is that the student
who was tho cause OF the mischief was the
secret emissary Of tho Tariff Protective
League. who had determined to effect by fair
means or foul the removal OF the champion of
free trade. One may imagine how the willy
and plausible youth studied the psychology OF
the professor when he feiRned to be reading
his political economy: how he grad
ually discovered tho old esnteman's
latent irascibility, and then planned In
the watches OF tho night the deep-laid plot
that proved such q startling success. No doubt
tho recalcitrant student richly deserved tho
celebration he received. Possibly. after In
suting his host he fingered on the top stair in
an attitude irrosistioly tempting. 1t may be
hoped he had no brick in his trousers and that
nothiog but the Professors nose 10 out Of joint.
At any rate, the plot. II 1t was plot. effected
its neiarious purpose. and the chair Of political
economy at Williams Is vacant.
