MURDERED AND ROBBED.
An Iowa Student Found Dead at OF
tumwa-Evidence of Burglary.


oTTUMwA, Iowa, Oct. 30.-The police
now believe they have a clew to
the murderer of L. A. Stevens, a Young
student found asphyxiated in DR..
Slominskfs office early this morning.
The rubber tube connecting the gas
fixtures with the office lamp was
severed and a necktie, minus the
valuable diamond he always wore on
1t, was found at the threshold of the
door, which had been forced in, show
ing unmistakable signs of robbery. A
new knife lay alongside the tie. and
this is the clue which the officers claim
will lead to the apprehension of the
murderer. DR., Slominski on arriving
on the early train from Omaha found
the young man insensible, and al
though every effort was made 10 re-
suscitate him he died before noon. 1t
is the theory that burglars entered the
Office to blow mp the safe and finding
the young man asleep applied the gas
instead of chloroform, hastily stole
the diamond and were frightened from
further depredations.

SHANGHAI, Oct 97.-A message from
Pekln says that the Chinese govern
menthas decided to dispatch n part OF
the Pechihli garrison to restore and
maintain order in the disturbed locali-

with great reluctance, as the echihli
troops are entirely depended upon for
the protection of Pekin and the adjoin-

has become satisfied, however, that
there is some danger of renewal OF
the old TatPing rebellion and that
vigorous action is necessary to prevent
the movement from becoming formid-
able.

IT is the fundamental theory OF the
practice of criminal law that the duty
of the attorney is to see that the client
has all his legal rights. The exercise
of the right of appeal, even when it
degenerates into mere ruse to bring
justice to a standstill, is not so violent
an infraction of the theory as the
practice of advising clients how they
may evade the law and do actual In.
Justice with impunity.

WHEN the rulers of Europe had set
tied themselves firmly on their thrones
once more after the remarkable revolt
of the people tp 1848 the United States
became the asylum of numerous dis
tinguished refugees who had led in
the abortive movement for free gov.
eminent. To these strong men this
nation owes much, for they were in
accord with all its institutions save
that OF slavery. AS citizens of the
republic they worked manfullv for the
overthrow OF the traffic in human
beings. There can be no doubt that
the tonic quality of the fine European
thought brought to the United States
by the scholarly men who had struck
so bravely for freedom at home did
much to correct the vicious sentiment
concerning slavery then prevailing in
this country and to prepare the north
for the great events which crowded
upon it decade later.

The sweating system has no advo-
Gates who have publicly espoused its
cause. Unlike many other things,
involving human want and sin, it is a
matter that admits of no discussion;
1t is absolutely without mitigating
attributes; there is but one side to it.
The most that can be claimed In its
favor, even by the sweater himself. is
that it affords him living; for to the
poor wretches in his employ, it offers
only slow death. And it may bo
seriously questioned whether, if the

TELL UNCLE SAM WAIT.
The London "Times'' Says There
should BE No Haste.

LONDON. Oct 2s.-The Times com
menting upon the attack upon sailors
of the United States man. of war Balti-
more at Valparaiso, says: Admitting
the perfect accuracy of the account OF
the affair told by Judge Foster, who
has been conducting the inquiry into
the matter, it shows no justification
or excuse for retaliatory violence on
the part of the Chilean mob. 1t is clear
that brutal outrage was committed
and the Washington government
has good prima facie case to demand
satisfaction. But the time has not vet
come when such demand could prop
erly be pressed. If made now it would
be made in not blood and based upon
incomplete information.
1T is not for great and powerful
nation like the United States to deal
in this high-handed fashion with a
weak neighbor. If the United States
insists it will be prudent for Chile to
yield. Some reparation and indemnity
must be given in due course, for the
outrage is far too grave to be suffered
to pass without adequate atonement.
Nor do we suppose Chile will take any
other view, whatever the result of Mr.
Fosters inquiry, but an immediate
unu PoltuPIory uemanu upon Nnlie
such as President Harrison speaks of
is not what a self-respecting nation
could either make or submit to will
ingly.
Arguing that Chile is recovering
from a regime of bad government the
attack on the Baltimores sailors may
be regarded as an act in the same
drama. Americas strong aggressive
policy will tend to enhance the diff
culties, the government having al
ready task hard enough to maintain
law and order. So sudden resolve
before full inquiry is made looks
more like an outburst of temper than
the acts of statesmen careful either of
their own or the national dignity, or
what is due to weaker and equally
sensitive government"

between Chile and the United States
has reached point where it may
easily end in rupture. While the
Chilean insurgents, having under
taken the government of the country,
are bound to accept responsibility for
the recent events, which, if they had
happened between two European
States, would have resulted in war
within twentyfour hours unless
ample reparation was made, 1t may
be hoped that President Harrison is
inclined to admit In behalf of Chile
those extenuating circumstances which
she cannot we'll plead on her own

Macbeth's "pearl top" and

do not break from heat, not
one in a hundred; they break
from accidents.
They are made Of clear
glass as well as tough, as
clear as crystal. They fit the
lamps they are made for.
Shape controls the draft; they
are shaped right. Draft con-
tributes to proper combustion;
that makes light; they inn
prove the light OF a lamp.
But theycost a dealer three
times as much as common
chimneys, and, as they do not
break, he is apt to be anxious
lest they stop his trade. Di-

are not agreeable to him. .

AN INCIDENT OF 1865.

Indeed. mamma, | can bride and

But my child. it is suc1 a mad
freak to go such a distance, and alone,
TOO, on that stray pony, and for whatl
Only one green peach was seen on that
tree"
Eyes, only one green peach, and per
haps somebody has got it before now,
but nothing ventured, nothing have,
and ! am going to ride there this after
noon and look for that peach and bring
il 10 you" So spoke the young girl
who was bent on taking the ride for
hidden by her prudent mother.
This was during the summer Of 1865,
following the disastrous food in that
part Of the Mississippi valley. We had
gathered strawberries under the water,
sometimes wading out 70 the beds and
sometimes padding out in a tiotilla Of
canoes. We had had dewberries and
blackberries gathered by the more
heroic members of the family who
were not in fear of the moccasins and
bluewater snakes who entwined them
selves among these briars, feasting on
the berries. All the other fruit was
ruined by the overflow, and il so hap
pened that some u had discovered a
living peach tree, bearing one forlorn
green peach. In a deserted plantation
garden five miles from the home of our
heroine This tree grew on "a knoll a
little elevated above the overflow.
Now. in June. this peach should have
ripened, hence the longing 70 pluck it
and give it 10 the mother who had
sighedou that very day that she should
50 enjoy some peaches
The girl had the dun pony saddled
with a mans saddle and rop bride,
and dOnning her riding skirt Of gay
copper colOred dimity that had served
many years as the nursery window cur
tain, and the mans hat coquettishly
trimmed with an aigrette Of white and
blue cranes feathers, she was SCOT
mounted and cantering gayly down the
grassy road What a lonesome road il
was too. There was no travel in that
day, only some struggling soldiers going
from camp - picket station. The plan
tations were deserted by negroes, and
the long lines Of dingy quarters with
wide opened doors and swinging win
dow shutters looked lonesomest Of all
lonesome things in nature.
The grass was knee deep 70 the dun
pony; as he cantered through It's green
sea it closed in his wake like the waves
Of a calm emerald sea asleep under the
hot glow Of that June day sun. The
SIENNA weeds grew as tall as trees along
the levees and where fences had been,

Mutton is the most digestible meat
In wet weather wear stout waterproof boots
In preference to rubber overshoes.

BY far the best method Of getting rid OF q cold

Great care should be exercised in buying

The only whisky that is manufactured for
purely medicinal purposes is Dufy's Pure
