LONDON, October "A letter from
Capt O'Shea, written ON the eve OF

There will be an immense demonstra-
tlon tomorrow, which will probably in-
tenslfy the bitterness Of the factions. I
anticipate period Of rccrimination and
personal riva.ries ending with the break
up Of the cause. The time that this will
take depends upon the subscriptions 10

the business will be carried on; other
wise the end is at hand.
THE Irish are always moro interest
ed in the man than the principle, except
where the latter, as 10 the agrarian agi-
tation, carries with It pecuniary ad-
vantage. The clergy will be unable to
pay their candidates, and they have
rendered Independent candidates almost
impossible. There is 10 chance at pres

A SECRET MARRIAGE.
The Romance of Love Between

NEVADA, Mo-, Jan. % The

Fulton, Mo, and held the respon
sible and lucrative place of Super
visor. The last is native Nevada
girl and was head seamstress OF
the institution. The two fell deep
ly in love and of course wanted to
marry, but they could not marry
openly and hold their places. But
they ielt that they could not live
apart, so last summer MISS Jones
took short vacation, which she
spent with relatives at Greenfield,
Dade county. Soon after her de-
parture Mr.. Robertson also obtain
ed a short respite from duty and
hied himself to Greenfield. Then
marriage license was obtained, a
minister called in and the matri-
monial moose was promptly AND
properly adjusted. The matter
was kept a profound secret, the
groom returning at once to his du
ties. In due time the bride put in
an appearance and resumed hel
place in the sewing room. Thus
matters continued till, tired Of sc
much secrecy, both resigned theil
situations and announced the fac

HOLLOW MAUKERY.
Chas. Mauk Held In q Bond of
$500 to Keep the Peace
For One Year.

Chas. Mauk, who was arrested,
brought to this city and lodged in
jail for writing insinuating letters
to Miss Iva Pastel and threatening
old man Sydens ticker with "White
Caps" had his trial to-day before
Squire Tomlinson at 10 o'clock.
The case was tried by a jury which
found the defendant guilty as char
ed and placed him under a bond
of $500 to keep the peace for one
year. The evidence adduced at
the trial showed that Mauk was a
married man; that he had wiltully
and stupbornly refused to live
with his wife and that he had been
paying devoted attention to Miss
Pastel, thereby causing his wife to
bring proceedings against HIM tor
a divorce, which is now pending in
the Circuit Court.
The evidence also showed that
he is a man who was considered
dangerous in that neighborhood.
The girl, Miss Pastel, is beauti-
iui brunette of sixteen summers
and seems to be very much devot-
ed to Mauk. Mauk is once more q
free man, as be was not long in
giving the desired bond. ]. W.

GROVER ON THE STREET.
No Man in New York To-day
Receives More Attention.
Prom the New York star.


No man Iii New York, in public
life or out, attracts SO much atten-
ton on the street as ex-President
Cleveland. A strictly n1ethodical
man, he starts down town at a reg
ular hour each day, and usually
takes a Fourth avenue car to the
posa-office, where he alights aud
walks leisurely down Broadway to
Maiden Lane and through that
thoroughfare to William street to
his Office. Frequently he walks
across to Sixth avenue and takes
the "L." He returns home at q
regular hour, and rarely leaves
his house, except to attend a pub.
lie dinner or to accompany Mrs.
Cleveland to the theater or opera.
He entertains considerably, and
his dinners to intimate friends are
events OF no little significance. On
Sunday morning, if the weather be
pleasant, he takes a long walk
through the park, frequently ex-
tending his strolls over several
hours. 1t is not often that he is
seen out riding; in fact, 1 doubt
very much whether he has been on
the drives in the parks more than
two or three times during his resi-
dence in New York. Mrs. Cleve.
land, however, loves driving and
is often seen IN company with
friends.
If there is anyone of the opinion
that the ex.President ia IN poor
health, he should see Mr.. Cleve-
land on the street. He is not quite
as stout as he was, and he walks
with a quick, elastic step. His
face wears the ruddy glow OF
health, and his whole appearance
is that of a man in the very best OF
condition. In fact, all reports to
the contrary, he has not had what
might be called a real sick spell
since he came here from Washing
ton. He s,ill adheres to the
familiar style of collar, high and
open in the front, and the tradi-
tionaI Prince Albert. This cold
weather he wears a heavy coat
with a full velvet collar. He
doesn't believe in fur collars or fur
Innings. He believes in good,
warm, plain clothing. There is
nothing of vain display about his
apparel. He is sticking close to
his law business these days, rarely
missing a DAY at his office. Severe
weather doesn't keep him up town.

a Recommendation to use DR.. Pierees
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
great sufferer from sick headache, 1
determined to try them, and. to my great
joy, found prompt relief. and by their
protracted use, a complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
As pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.

ENLISTING THE INDIANS.

1t is the suggestion of a veteran
army officer a thoroughly practi-
cal man-that every able bodied
Indian in the West be enlisted in
the army of the United States. 1t
would be, he declares, the cheap
est and most effective solution pos.
stole of the Indian problem. In
support OF his theory he points to
the well-known fact that the Indian
has always shown himself loyal
and trustworthy as a soldier and
perfectly amenable to discipline.
He makes, too, an admirable sold
ier, especially IN the cavalry arm
OF the service, and can endure the
hardships incident thereto much
better than the best of white sold
iers.
1t may be objaeted that it all the
Indians were enlisted there would
be nothing for the army on the
frontier to do, as there would be
no Indians to watch or to fight.
But even it the enlistment amount.
ed simply to "playing soldier" on
the part OF the Indian troops, IL
would be a far more economical
method of supporting and amusing
aim than that now pursued. Il
he can he made regular and clean.
ly in his habits, aud kept at Some
regular occupation, even though II
be practically useless one, at the
pay OF soldier, it would cust the
government far less than the pres
ent system. And if, in addition to
lessened cost, it should give the
country the security against raids
and outbreaks, which the existing
-ystem does not, the gain would
be incalculable. The plan is Ger.
tainly worth considering, notwith-
standing The certainty that it would
reduce materially the number OF
fat offices to be distributed as
"sDoils.''
