NICoLLET, Mimi, Aug. % john W.
Miller hes dead at his home with a bullet
hole through his forehead, and his di-
vorced wife and Miss Alvira Slice, his
mistress. sit weeping 10 the village jail.
The shot which killed Miller was fired by
his late wife, because OF his too evident
intimacy with Miss Slice. The Miller
family have had a stormy time of it for a
year past, and Mrs. Miller is said to have
been half insane part of the time. Six
mouths ago it became so plain to her that
Mr.. Miller was unfaithiul that she an
piled for a divorce. The husband made
no defense, and five weeks ago the
decree was granted. The pair, however,
continued to reside under the same roof
For some TINT before the divorce was
granted Miller was charged with paying
Miss Alvira Slice, a pretty brunette OF 20,
a great deal Of attention. Yesterday after
noon Mrs. Miller saw the pair talking on
a corner, and overheard them arranging
for an intrigue. Halt crazed with anger,
she vent TO a gun store and purchased a
~s,x-shooter, asking the clerk TO load it for
her. Miller did not return home during
the evening and Mrs. Miller secreted her
self in a closet off his bed room. Shortly
before . O'Clock this morning he and Miss
Slice tiptoed into his room. lit a lamp and
began disrobing. Miller removed his
clothing and got into bed, and Miss Slice,
having prepared for bed, stepped to the
table to blow out the light. At thus point
Mrs. Miller rushed from the closet and
shouted: Stop where you are! You
have gone far enough in your shame:
Miller jumped to his knees, and
made a move as if to grasp the CLEAN
ing revolver. but he was too late, the
divorced wife threw up the weapon and
fired into his face, the ball passing through
the forehead, out of the back of the head,
aud still bad force enough to break a
window. Miller died instantly. The in-
iuriated woman then turned or Miss Slice
and shouted: Down on your knees
She, however, ran for the door, and Mrs.
Miller began firing at her. One ball
made a flesh wound in the shoulder and
another cut away a part of her hair. She
succeeded in reaching the street but was
Immediately arrested. Mrs Miller was
also taken in charge by officers. The
coroner's inquest this afternoon found
that Miller came to his death at the hands
OF his late wife.

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Nicaragua's President Quells q
Revolution.
Ills Novel Plan to Secure {
Re. election.
Arrests His Opponents and Elk
lies Them.

MANAaUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 20
Granada, on Sunday, was the scene of
a coup de main by which President
Roberto Sacasa tried to rid himself Of his
most prominent opponents and at the
same time nip in the bud a possibly grow
ing revolution. The gentlemen arrested
include two ex-presIdents OF Nicaragua
and the editor and owner OF the most
important daily journal in the country
Granada is practically in a state of siege
and the troops here at the capitol are con-
fined to the barracks. In addition, the
opposition to President Sacasa is growing
daily and affairs are assuming dangerous
position. For years a vigorous rivalry
has existed between the progressiSts,
whose headquarters are at Granada, and
the Catholic church party, whose strong
holds are Leon and ManaRua.
Granada, Tor many terms past, has fur
nished the country with the president,
but at the last election Sacasa, a Leon
a was chosen president, the Progress
lists saw, by undue means. He had pre-
viously been a senator and on the mysteri-
GUS death of President Carazo, two years
hkOY war CllOStu W III OuL lit uuuuioHCu
term. This was not approved by the
Progressists and Sacasa became more I'M
popular as it became known that he,
backed by the church party, was leaving
no stone unturned to bring about his re-
election. For some time it has been
whispered that an attempt would be made
to Gust him, but the coup by himself was
a complete surprise.
The gentlemen arrested are ex-Presi-
dent Chamorro, OK President Zavala, Don
Anselmo Rivas, editor OF the leading
newspaper OF the country; Don Enrique
Guzeman. son of Gen. Guzeman, and
Don j. D. Rodriguez, formerly attached
to the legation at Washington. Their ar.
rest caused a great excitement in Granada
and the prison was attacked. The exact
number of casualties is not known, but it
is reported that the chief officer OF police
and at least six soldiers were killed and
about fifty citizens shot. The prisoners
were subsequently, brought to Managua,
where they we're sentenced to be escorted
across the frontier and ordered never 10
return to the country under penalty Of
death. Granada has been placed in a
state of siege.
AS some of the prisoners belong to
wealthy and important families in Mica
ragua. the matter caused great excitement
and further trouble is expected. 1t is
known that a number of other persons
are under surveillance by Sacasa's spies.
The present political troubles do not
affect the progress of work on the Mari
time canal. though Don Rodriguez. one
of the gentlemen exiled. is known to have
been a bitter enemy of the American en-
terprise. This opposition is said to have
grown from a snubbirP which Rodriguez
thought he received from the American
secretary of state while attached to the
legation at Washington.

A Cowboy Under the HoOfs of Mad

A Range Rider Almost Blinded by

Mining, AgricultursIand Other State
Items of Interest.

Geo. Clements Of DAYTON, who has
been at work for the Converse Cattle
company at the OW ranch on Hanging
Woman, met with a frightiul accident
last friday morning. He was cutting out
cattle and got too close to several large
bulls that were engaged in a desperate
fight. Just as Clements rode past them
a grand rush was made by the animals
which resulted in horse, rider and bulls
all going down together. the rider unfort-
tunately at the bottom of the pile. As
soon as possible he vas picked up and
carried to the ranch, about ten miles dIs-
tant, where he remained in an uncon.
scious condition when a courier was dis.
patched to Sheridan for a physician. DR..
McNutt-Simpson started Immediately and
rendered all the medical aid possible.
When the doctor left the patient was still
unconscious but with some small chance
in favor OF his recovery.
S. A. Iden informs us that the apple
trees on his Beaver creek ranch are SO
loaded with iruIt that the limbs are bend
ing to the ground. There are man. other
orchards in the county which are in much
the same condition, and it is made certain
that apples can be successfully grown in
this country.

The f~requenters of some of the cheap
restaurants of our large towns would
probably suffer from a painful falling off
in the appetite were they first to pay Il
visit to the kitchens from which their
savory morsels come. In the interests Of
their hunger they doubtless show sound
discretion in taking the goods the gods
of the gridiron send them without ques-
tioning or demur. On the other hand,
in the interest of sanitation and public
welfare, it is quite as important that the
cleanliness of our restaurant kitchens
should be beyond suspicion as that of
our baking establishments.
The local authorities are empowered
by the sanitary acts to deal with any
work place which is not kept in a clearly
state, or not properly ventilated, etc., 80
as to be injurious or dangerous to health.
1t would be interesting to know what
attention the local authorities have
shown to these establishments.-Hospi-

REEN
An Eighth of a Mill Added to the State
Taxation.

The state board of assessment was
supposed to have finished its labors OF
fixing the rate of taxation some time ago.
The certified returns were sent to the
different counties with the rate fixed at
four and seyen-eigbth mills Oh the dollar.
The governor, IN looking over the matter,
found that be had been '~'scooped" and
that the eighth Of a mill taxation that
was ordered by the session of 1883, for re-
pairs in the capitol building, had been
overlooked. He spoke to the auditor
about the matter and was told by that
gentleman that he didn't think the levy
was needed and besides, In his opinion,
the law authorizing the levying OF
the tax was not constitutional
Besides. the auditor thought that the tax
levy was up now as high as the taxpayer
would stand and that an additional one
eighth of a mill would raise a row. The
attorney general was called in by the gov
ernor to give his OPINION as to the legality
Of the law and at once said it was all
riPbt, Armed with the attorney general
opinion the governor brought up the mat
ter again but the auditor was afraid that
he was being worked so asked personally
the attorney generals opinion aud re-
ceived the same advice. The auditor was
still unsatisied so procuring a big volume
of Wyoming's Revised Statutes spent
several days pouring over Its pages.
1t is presumed that the book convinced
the auditor that the attorney general
knew what he was talking about as he
issued the ukase and the additional one
eighth OF a mill was levied at a called
meeting OF the board yeste rday.
The governor and others think that the
money is undoubtedly needed for capitol
repairs and if any retreDchment is to be
made it should take place in some other
department. The levy for state taxes is
now up to the limit.

FOR THE IRISH CAUSE
President Fitzgerald Calls a
Meeting of the Lsague.
Objects. of the Convention as
Stated in the Address.
President Harrison Pays a
Visit to st. Adams, vt.
CalI for an Irish Convention.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 25.-John Fig.
gerald, president of the Irish National
League of America, issued an address
today calling for a convention at Chicago,
Oct. | and 2 next. The call says, 10
part, that the present lamentable condi-
ton of affairs in the old land and the fall
ing off OF lrish-Americsn support as a di-
rect result OF the discussion in the ranks
of the parliamentary party are reasons
enough to induce the lovers of the cause
to come together and devise measures to
overcome the difficulties. 1t has been
deemed expedient to go beyond the lines
Of the Irish National League OF America
and invite the cooperation of all lovers OF
the Irish cause. To this end, every
existing branch of TIE Irish National
League Of America will be eutitled to one
delegate for every twenty-five members,
and all other societies and organizations
will be allotted one delegate for every
twenty five persons, which between now
and the 25th of October, shall subscribe
$40 to the fluids of the league. Further,
every individual who has since the last
conyention contributed at one time $25
through the national treasurer or who
shall have done SO before the 25th OF DC
tober, shall be entitled to the privileges of
a delegate.
The objects of the convention are in
substance: To examine into the present
and past relations between the league in
America and the leaders of the national
movement, with a view to placing them
on a better and more satisfactory basis; to
revise and amend the constitution; to
pledge once more Inviolable fidelity to the
cause OF Irish liberty. and adopt such
measures in support thereof as may be
considered wise and unsuitable. All who
have the cause of ireland at heart are
earnestly requested to make this conven-
tion not only a success but a historical
landmark in the progress of the Irish
movement.
The time has come, says the address,
when we should prove to the world that
our moral courage is not inferior to the
physical bravery our race has ever dis
played on the battlefield. No obstacles
nor temporary political defeats can
brighten us from the path our
fathers trod before us. We should
not abandon the grand old organization
which has rendered such valuable aid TO
the Irish cause during the past ten years
to embrace a newlv-iormed association
resulting IRON f%actional differences and
not representative of a united and pro-
gressive Irish nationality The cause is
above men and the organization should
not be held responsible for the short
comings Of individuals.

The needs to develop the Big Horn
basin are numerous, but that which is
paramount to all is a Touring mill. AT
least $3.50, 900 leaves the basin yearly for
flour alone. There is not a stream in the
basin but could furnish power enough to
run all the mills IN the state, at the same
time, the year around. Here in the
Grey Bull valley-and it will average the
same throughout the entire Big Horn
basin-wheat will yield thirty bushels to
the acre. This fact has been demonstrated
time and again. The first season after
such a plant is put in here no less thar
1000 acres will be sown. The citizens of
OttO would give a liberal bonus to such
an institution.
The readers Of the Mascot are promised
a genuine sensation regarding the body
found on the west bank of the Big Horn,
below the mouth of Owl creek. some
eighteen months ago. At the time the
body was found 1t was supposed BY those
who had not seen it to be that of an
Indian, and in fact at the coroner's in.
quest the body of an Indian was dis
played. Now it is claimed hat the
original CORPSE was made away with and
that OF the Indian substituted. As the
case is being worked up new things are
being brought to light, which tend to
show hat the body not shown was that of
a young lady who so mysteriouslY dis-
appeared about that time, having on her
person some $500.
Word was received yesterday from the
Stinkingwater mines that a three foot sill
yer bearing lode had been struck there.
As a natural consequence excitement is
running high and the mining fever is be-
coming contagious.
The first sale OF mining property OF any
importance made in the Casper mountains
camp was contaminated recently when
Jack Currier sold an eighth interest in
his galena claims for 81 500.
The old buffalo bull that has been
seen every month or so for the past five
years in the Buffalo basin, was seen again
last week by a party of COWBOYS. They
claim that apparently the old fellow is as
lively and pert as a 3-year-old. and that
the best horses in the outfit could scarcely
keep up with him.
