UNsPEAKABLY BRUTAL
ayena Like Puck Throws It's Ghoplish sha-
dow Across A New-Maae Crave
A Oaricature which is A Disgrace to A
merican Journalism.

A witlcss and very vulgar cartoon car
featuring Nj. Blaine appears on the first
page Of the number of Puck which was
issued June %. Even If Mr.. Blaine was
not at tins time bowed down under a
domestic affection which entitled him to
the sympathy of every sensible heart, the,
performance Of Puck would be an out
RAGE: under the circumstances it is un-
speakably brutal. It may, perhaps, be
said that the cartoon which has excited
SO much indignation and disgust among
decent people, had been prepared and
perhaps been printed before the news Of
the death Of Mr. Emmons Blaine. That
makes no difference. The three or four
DAYS intervening between the death of
Mr.. Blaine's son and the publication
of this coarse and heartless insult, allow
ed plenty of time for reconsideration.
Tt would have been better to have recall
ed and Suppressed the entire edition
In generous contrast with the perfor-
nance Of the Mugwump picture paper
is the act of the Democratic Convection
in Chicago on Tuesday, when the resalu-
ton Of sympathy for Mr.. Blaine in his
bereavement provoked a remarkable de-.
monstration Of his popularity as a man
The heartIess and the hypocritical may
doubt the good taste of the demonstra-
ton; butof its sincerity, spontaneity
and cordial intent there can be no ques-
tion. New York Sun

WEAVER rs NOMINATED.
The Iowa Greenbaeker will Lead the Peo-
pies Party Host.

Gen. Weaver Of Iowa was nominated
by the Peoples Party Convention at
Omaha on Monday on the first ballot, he
receiving 995 votes to 265 for KYLE.
Greshams name was not presented. The
preamble Of the platform was the work
of Donnelly. He was on the subcommit-
tee having that work iii charge and did
the work in a way that seemed to en-
thuse the audience, for upon the adoption
of the preamble and platform the dele
gates went wild and whooped and howl
ed for twenty five minutes. One of the
inspiring scenes during the march of the
delegates about the hall was darky
standing on the shoulders of two white
men and carried through the march. The
darkey carry an umbrella with flag at
tached, which he swung aloft and yelled
as unearthly yells rs he could out of his
capacious mouth. Upon the conclusion
Of the whooping up, some singer mount
eel the standsof the chairman and led in
singing "Good-Bye, Old Party, Good
Bye" The delegates and many of the
audience joined in the chorus. Doe Fish,
of the Great West, at ST. Paul, stood up
on his chair in Newspaper row,and she'd
ding mock tears, wiped his eyes with a
mourning colored handkerchief. The
whole twenty live minutes was Fourth
of July picnic for the participants. The
whole committee on resolutions stood
on the platform while it was being read,
but in the excitement the delegates took
the state standards, rushed to the plat
form and submerged committee, chair
man and everybody else. The names of
Weaver and Kyle were both received very
tamely. The enthusiasm seemed to have
died out with the refusal of Gresham.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY
Two Masked Men Hold up a Passenger
Train near Kasota.

Bold highway and train robberies are
being committed close to home. Friday
night on the Omaha road two masked
men made an effort to rob an express
car between st. Peter and Kasota. The
robbers got on the tender of the engine
at St. Peter, and at safe distance from
the station they got down in the cab
and ordered the engineer to stop the
train, threatening his life ifhe refused to
obey. One of the men stood guard over
the engineer and fireman while the other
one went back to the car. On his way
back he met a brakeman and ordered him
to halt The brakeman did not seem to
understand him and kept on coming.
The robber then fired at him with a dou-
bic barrel shotgun. Fortunately he miss
ed him. The brakeman was then march
ed up to the engine and told to stay
there.
The robbers then went to the express
car and raped on the door. The mes
senger opened the door, thinking he had
arrived at the station. AS he did so he
looked into the barrel Of a gun and was
ordered to throw up his hands The
robber said 'sWhere is your guard?"
The messenger answered ssThere is no
guard on the train" The robber then
got in the car and ordered the messenger
to open the safe. He did So There was
large amount of money in the safe, but
in opening it the messenger grabbed the
money and dropped it behind the safe
unseen by the robber, Seeing that the
safe was empty, they left the car with
curses and proceeded to the engine. The
engineer and fireman were marched up
the track about half mile. They were
told to go back to their train and the
robbers then disappeared in the woods.
supt. w. A. Scott, of the Omaha road,
was one of the first to receive the news
and he at once wired to Kasota, ManlSa-
to, lie sueur and West Spring Lake, of
fering a reward of one thousand dollars
for the capture and Identification of the
two men. This reward was increased to
$4,000 by the American express COM
pany, and F. D. Adams, superinten-
dent of the express company, left for
the scene Saturday morning in company
with Pinkerton detective. Two or
three Chicago detectives IN the employ
of the express company have also left
for the scene, and every effort Will be
made to. ferret the robbers out. Both
Supt. W. A. Scott and supt. Naylor Of
the express company, are confident that
the miscreants will be found, and will
spare no expense and leave no stone un-
turned to bring them to justice. They
think that on account of the stormy night
the robbers could not have gone very
far, and the police officers of the slr-
rounding towns are on the hunt.

the travellers on the Pittsburg and stoyes-
town pike, the overland route from Pitts
burg to Philadelphia and the East, but
for wears it has been dumb. The dust OF
time has blurred and blotted out its letter
ing, but the good it has done protects it.
By it one cannot tell whether he is
going east or west and it gives no encour-
agement or information to the traveller 1t
is mile stone though and leans back from
the pike exposing its smooth, plain front
reminding one of a hand board turned the
wrong way or politician who has just been
deceived BY his friends. 1t is making
pompous, magnificent bluff.
A Rare Oid-Fashioned Mansion.
But there is no bluff about the old Johns
ton homestead. 1t is rare old-fashioned
mansion. In it the late Governor Johns
ton was raised. From it he went to
school. Under its great broad, generous
roof presidents and men of great affairs have
gathered to eat and drink and from it grew
up family of giants, intellectually and
physically. Governor Johnston was big
man in every sense. He was six feet three
inches tall In appearance he resembled
his son, the late Dick Johnston. Two OF
his brothers measured six feet four inches
while five others were six feet two inches.
His two sisters were tall and handsome.
One of them, Mrs. Barclay, the mother of
the late Thomas Barclay, former West
moreland county banker,is now dead: The
other, Ann Elizabeth, is still living at
Kingston. With her, is her brother, Col
onel j. w. Johnston. He is the last OF the
eight great Johnston boys.
He is 70 years old His hair is white as
slackened lime, but his cheeks glow with
health and his tall, dignifed form stands
erect as sturdy oak. He was a Mexican
soldier. as we're all his brothers. and he,
with all the others, served in the late war
He rather enjoys telling how he was re-
duced instead of promoted during the re-
bellion.
Fooled by His Chaplain.
"When entered the army" the Colonel
began, 'I was made Colonel of regiment
and Rev. Mr.. McCarter was my Chaplain.
He was a fighter and he wanted command.
He proposed to me that go home and raise
another regiment and then have myself
made brigade commander and allow MIN to

with age, but the Spanish coat Of arms,
worked bv hand in the four corners OF tho
yellow silk, still shows plainly. Two bars
of red running diagonally across the center
are also worked by hand. The whole is
beautiful affair, and on account of its his
rical'connections is of great value.
An Old Fashioned Toby Lighter.
Another relic of other days and one that
most amused me was an old steel toby
lighter. When I called on the Colonel the
other day, and after had chatted with him
a time, he asked me to smoke toby. He
produced from a convenient table well
filled box.
"These are probably little strong for
you," the Colonel said, ''but you can try
them.
They were like corn husk cigarettes as
compared with the Marsh toby had thrown
away just before entering the house,
but they were strong enough tor
the Colonel. He then produced
the toby lighter. 1t was piece of long,
thin, flat steel. 1t was stuck into the fire
until it became red-hot. Then 1t was ap-
piled to the end of the toby. 1t is sure
lighter but requires some patience. One
has TO stand and look pleasant while the
steel heats
'aTobies consume great many Matches"
the Colonel said while discussing the
lighter ''Its the old-fashloned way and I
rather like it."
Harrison Never Stopped There.
Memories of former greatness cling like
creeping ivy about the place. The late
General Taylor while he was President,
there frequently found refuge from the Fed
eral place hunters. Other Democratic Presi-
dents of that time fingered there for rest
and comfort while on their way from the
West to the National Capital before there
were railroads but General Harrison,
Colonel Johnston tells me, would never stop
at the place.
While travelling over the Pike in 1889
General Harrison was asked by an acquaint-
ance to spend day at Kingston.
''That place is too Democratic tor me-"
Old Tppecanoe answered, and he didn't
stop. 1t is Republican enough for Presi-
dent Harrison now, however

he was taken from the country school and

Colonel John B. Alexander, and shortly
after his admission to the bar he went to

lature. He was then Democrat. He was
afterward sent to the Senate and was chosen
Speaker of that body. While at the head
of the State Senate he quarreled with his
party and joined the Wings. About that
time Governor Skunk, Democrat, resigned
and Johnston, under the Constitution of
1888, assumed the Gubernatorial chair A
year later he was the candidate df the Whig
party and was elected, defeating William
