GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, Sept. 1.--Eugene
Lavender, meS>hant at Grafton, Nevago
county, died few months ago, leaving all his
property and his life insurance money to his
.ife. After his death the widow went to
Newago and spent most Of her time ct the
saloon kept by John Surplus and John Barley.
Her conduct scardalzed the neighbors and
aroused the jealousy OF the wives OF the saloon
keepers.
Late last night. prompted by few male rela-
tives, the wives visited the house where the
widow and her daughter lived. They knocked
for admission, but the widow refused 10 let
.hem in. While ono stood guard at
tbs door the other broke a window
and admitted the other. The two wives
then ses upon the widow and, after beating and
choking her, poured tar over her and
finished ice operation with . bucket Of
feathers. The tar and feathers were
passed through window by the male
relatives cutnae. Mrs Lavender has since
been eoEfasd TO her bed. As soon as she re-

Alliance President Polk Not Supposed to Ee
Fighting Character.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
hALKIoH, N. C., Sept during the last
week dispatches have been sent out from this
city BY the correspondents of q number Of
northern dailies alleging that . duel was i'm
minent between ''Col." L. L. Polk. president
OF the National Farmers Alliance, and the
editors Of the Ne,rs and Observer of this city
on account Of the scorching articles which are
appearing In that paper from day to day at
lacking the personal and political history and
ambitions OF Polk.
There is not the remotest probability of q
duel, however, and the reports were read with
much amusement by those who know the alli-
ance president best and who have never re-
garded him as a lighting character The
idea OF his sending a challenge to any one
caused many smile among his acquaintances
hereabouts
Hon. T. 4. Jernigan, one Of the editors Of
the Ne,cs d,d Observer, was seen by The STAR
correspondent today. Mr.. Jernigan. who held
an important position in the diplomatic service
under Cleveland, has held his present position
only few months. but during that time he
has made a reputation as an aggressive writer
OF unusual force and ability
he expressed his surprise at the reports sent
ont, and said that he did not anticipate n
challenge from Col" Polk, and certainly
was not losing any sleep thinking over the
prospects OF being shot at by such a warrior.
Mr.. Jernisan is o man Of very quiet man
ners but Of undoubted courage, and il Presi-
dent Polk is ''spilin' for O fight he will I'M
doubleday be accommodated If he makes ap-
plication to that gentleman
But 1t is not believed by those who are famii-
lar with the "coloners' fighting qualities that
it will be found necessary to keep him on ice
to prevent his '.spilin'," and SO there is no
prospect Of duel.

who is in this city, says President Harrison
made a mistake when he opened the strip 200
miles long and 81 miles wide to the Indians.
The strip Is being used by the cattlemen
Just as much today rs it ever was," said the
governor. in the agreement was understood
that the cattemen should not use the land for
grazing purposes. The Indians could not lease
or sell the land, SO the cattlemen fixed up deal
with the Indians, whereby they were to own the
stock. and at certain time the real owners
were to purchase them. The result is that the
land is being used for grazing purposes when
1t should be cut up into farms for the benefit Of
settlers.
There will be a great rush next month
when o0O, 900 acres in Oklahoma will be opened
for settlement. /, is The finest kind OF lanS in

should be compelled by Russia, Frances ally.

The London Standard suggests that the sui

England s refusal 10 reopen the Egg ptinn ne

ported that the English ambassador has not
been received at the lildIz Kiosk 1t is for the
powers to consider what course TO adopt TO en-
