Cable for Chairman.

More honors may belin store for Con-
gresham Ben T. Cable, whose worth
and ability are appreciated in the highest
councils of his party, as well as in Rock
Island and the Eleventh congressional
district. In an interview contained in q
dispatch from Lima, Ohio. to today's
Chicago Tribune. Senator Calvin 8. Brice,
the present chairman of the democratic
national committee says: "As to who
will be the next chairman of the nations
al committee, he said he was of the opin-
len that Congressman Ben T. Cable of
Illinois would be selected. He is an able
man and qualified in every particular to
fill the position" The fact of the re-
publicans having come to Illinois for
their chairman will no doubt strengthen
Mr.. Cables chances. 1t is needless to
say that his friends here would rejoice to
see him thus complimented.

to the scaffold unaided and took his po-
sitlon upon the trap. His spiritual ad !;
wiser. Rev, Father Smythe of the Catho.
lie church. accompanied him. He made
short talk to those present and admon-
ished them to beware of the fatal whisky
habit, which had brought him to his
present condition. He confessed to hav-
ing killed his daughter, but said that
it had been done IN a drunken frenzy.
His arms and limbs were pinioned,
the black cap adjusted and the cd man
swung into eternity The sight which
greeted the spectators after the body had
shot through the trap was CHASTITY one ..
Thornton was short heavy-set man,
and the fall was evidently too great. as
his head was nearly severed from his
body.
The crime for which Thornton suffered
the desth penalty was the murder Of his
only daughter, Mrs. Laura Moynier, at
Krebsit, November II. 1891. Thornton
went to Indian territory from this county
about IL years ago, having previously
lived at Rapids City, where he was q coal
miner. The particulars of the trial were

TROOPS SENT TO THE BORDER.
Mexico Complains of the Raids Into Her Ter
~ritOry-Her Own Force insufficient.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Mexican gov
charge d'affaires of the Mexican legation,
has officially called the attention of the
United States government to the recent raid
into Mexico of citizens of the United States
ct Ssn Y~gnacio. who formed on the American
side of the line. Secretary of State Foster
has in turn communicated with the War
Department and has asked that additional
United States troops be stationed on the
Mexican border to prevent these excur-
siOns complained OF. In pursuance of this
request the Seventh Cavalry, now at Fort
Riley, has been ordered to the Rio Grande
to assist the Third Cavalry, now there.
In army circles the matter Is treated
very lightly and no serious trouble is an
ticipated. A high official SAID this morn
Ing that if the Mexican government had
One-tenth of the force on the Mexican Dor
der that the United States had on its side
these raids could not take place. There was
more than one thousand miles of from
tier TO look after, extending from Del
Rio, Tex. to Fort Brown. The coun-
try was uneven and full of
chaparral, making pursuit of fugitives
difficult. The maurauders were not an or
RsDlzed body, but a guerrilla band hat met
at given places and made flying trips into
Mexico. When they returned TO the Unit
ed states territory they scattered like
cartridges in the chsparral. 1t was not
the duty of the United States army to
chase men who were simply criminals. but
to asst the marshals in their arrest. in case
the marauders were too strong for the
civil authorities. But, putting aside
this point. if the Mexicans had as many
troops on their side as we have on ours, he
said. these marauders would be speedily
caught. Whether it was from motives of
economy OF otherwise that the Mexican
government did not put troops along it's
side of the border, no one could say, but il
seemed to him that they relied upon the
United States TO do the police patrol of the
border. which they themselves should 90.
