According to This Report There Was No
Torture in the Punishment.


Torture in the Punishment.
I was an eyewitness to all the punishment in
ficted upon young IGms, says the Homestead
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1
saw him taken to the guard house for lis first
breach Of military discipline early in the
encampment. Later 1 saw him carry a rail for
having been found asleep on his gun during the
night while on. guard duty. l was within hear
ing the day the regiment was paraded and when
young Idms admitted that he had proposed
''three cheers for the man who shot Tricky 1
heard Col Streator almost plead with HIM to
withdraw the remark and apologize. He refused
to comply with the cOlonelis earnest request and
was sent Immediately to the guard house.
Then Col. Streator, Capt. Paully OF X COM
pany and Col Hawkins, commanding the provi-
siona, brigade, went into prolonged secret con-
ference in Col. Hawkins quarters, and then fol-
lowed the order from Col. Streator to hare the
offender strung up by the thumbs. Surgeon
Neff, humane and gentle as u woman, or
dered to take charge of the case. A fly tent was
erected near the guard house. Iains was then
brought out. Assistant Surgeon Grim fastened
cotton cord by loops about the prisoner 9
thumbs and Iams himself assisted in arranging
the cord on his hands. BY standing on his toes
his thumbs reached the tent pole to which they
were fastened and he was safely tied. The tent
pole fit in between the thumbs and forefngers
he laughed about his punishment while it wcs
being inflicted and he several times referred to
it in profane and vulgar language.
ASKED FOR A CHEW OF TOBACCO.
The surgeons watched him closely and being
punished for fifteen minutes he Mortified all
present by asking for chew Of tobacco. The
officer Of the day held the plug of chewing to-
bacco close to Iars mouth while he bit off O
liberal chew. He then squirted the Juice in
front OF him. He elSo swallowed some and
when he had been up just eighteen minutes he
became deathly sick and was cut down. He
was greatly distressed by swallowing the to-
bacco and for a time was unable to speak after
being taken down.
He had been sentenced to hang for thirty
minutes. Tho surgeon however, has authority
to mitigate any military sentence, SO Iarns was
taken to the guard house adjoining where he
was kept until early the next morning. Lieut..
COL Streator and Col. Hawkins remained alone,
| each In his own quarters, while the punishment
was being inflicted.
Col Ssreator at once prepared o written re-
port OF the. offense committed by Inms, his
EFFORT to have the young soldier retract and the
punishment inflicted upon him. This was sent
to Col. Hawkins, where it was approved and
was transmitted to Maj. Gen. Showden. The
last named approved and returned the report
with the written recommendation that Iams be
dismissed in disgrace and drumuaed out .oi
camp. The order to drum cut of camp Ia chs-
grace in the Judgment Of tho counnlandina
officers carried with 1t the shaving OF half the
head and the shifting Of the military uniform
to citizens dress.

A PUGILIsTIC LOCHINvAR.
Prize Fighter slade Elopes With . Mormon
Bishops Daughter.

Bishops Daughter.
dispatch from Salt Lake City to the New
York World says:
A prize fighter, heavy weight rival Of John
L. Sullivan, has caused . tremendous sensation
in the Mormon Church. He stole q bishop Q
daughter because he loved her. His name is
Herbert slade, and the sporting fraternity of
this country know him well
1t was not long ago that Slade, who is known
as the Maorian fighter, and the pet Of Richard
h. Fox, came to this country. Fox imported
him because be believed he was the only man
who could whip John L. Sullivan.
Slade was a fine, bulky specimen Of manhood,
with a fist like q hammer head, and il was fully
believed by his admirers that he could easily
dispose of the man from Boston. But he proved
dismal failure and was relocated about three
years ago to Salt Lake.
He is now hiding from one Of the maddest
men in this vicinity. HIS name is Bishop John
Sneazly and he ruled over q small agricultural
town known as Nova, about 100 miles from Salt
Lake. He is wealthy. His only child, q girl
about eighteen years old, was . recognized
beauty.
She had all the Young members Of the Nor
mon Church within a circuit of 500 miles Mt her
feet. But it was not until the giant fighter
Slade appeared in the town that she met the
man of her choice
The two became desperately enamored and
now they are hiding from the irate father
They eloped, but Slade had to first play Romeo
to his Mormon Juliet, because she was locked
in an upper chamber Of her watchful parents
house.
The anger Of the father is now useless for the
fighters and the Mormon girls love was Of that
kind which laughs at locksmifhs and stern par
ents. and they are now securely married.
Bishop Sneszly learned of his daughters love-
making before the elopement and his anger knew
no bounds.
When the daughter made known she was enam-
mored of the ambitious but unsuccessful slug
ger the Mormon bishops temper rose to high
pitch. The union was denounced in language
SO strong a. gave no hope Of the fathers re-
lenting.
The girl was locked in her chamber, from
which Slade stole her in most approved and
romantic style. They FASTENED to q justice Of
the peace, who lived twenty miles away over .
dreary stretch Of desert, and were made ono for
the usual consideration.
The bishop and all his clan pursued the elop-
ers, but they arrived at the house of the justice
Of the peace half an hour too late
The father tried TO have the fighter arrested
for abduction, but when he admitted his daugh-
ter was Of age found he could not. 6lads had
one prize fight year ago, which he lost

Great attitudes furnish a gymnasium
where the respiratory organs are compelled
to be exercised, and, consequently become
larger and more efficient.
Altitude, also, prevents instead of inducing
hemorrhage, as was the old opinion This
fact has been well established by experience
and observation.
Prof NJ. W. Harrington, chief of the u 8.
weather bureau, says:
Santa Fe lies in the driest part of the
United States. This region is extensive, but
changes in form from season to season.
Santa Fe is always in it, however.
THE WATERS OF SANTA FE.
DR.. ]. T. Banter vice-president Of the
American Health Resort association says:
at is worth travelling miles to drink Of
such waters as flow through this deep cut in
the mountains and supply the city of Santa
Fe for domestic purposes and for irrigation
OF the fruit farms. The water is absolutely
pure, cold and fresh from the melting
SHOWS above, or trickling from springs in
the mountain side. 1t is free from all lime,
alkali or other ingredients SO very injurious
to the consumptive patient. Such water is
great boon anywhere and at any time, but
here, where other features of sunshine and
pure air combine to produce an ideal
climate, it is of special value"

A GENTLE MAN.
He Was Meek, but His Rebuke Wat
Nevertheless Genuine,

He Was Meek, but His Rebuke Was
Nevertheless Genuine,
He was such a weak and humble little
man that when he came into the grocery
store to make complaint the clerk was
disposed to be naughty and imperious.
May | inquire" he said, in a still, small
voice, ''if any gentleman here sold my wife
some butter yesterdays?
II guess Pm the man." responded big,
brawny fellow with an inch or two more
chin on him than clerk usually has need
of in his business.
ooh, excuse me-" exclaimed the custom
er shrinkingly, 81 meant no offense. The
butter is all right, but wanted to say that
three colors of hair in one roll is somewhat
incongruous. And thought I might add
also request that if you could send up
brush and comb with the next sale we
would be ever so much obliged. OF course,
it was an oversight on your part, and am
not complaining, you UNDERSTANDINGS
complaining, merely suggesting,
The clerks face was study.
And" went on the little man, II don't
think it is quite fair to put tacks at fifteen
cents pound in butter at forty cents, un-
less you make discount for difference in
weight and price, or throw in clawham-
mer sowe can draw the tacks upon putting
the butter on the table"
The clerk was gasping and the little man
was going right along.
Referring again to the hair mentioned
previously" he said, permit me to say
that find no fault because Of its quantity
or its length. The incongruity of color
was the only objection. In the old times
we read that Sampson had long hair and
great deal of it, and your butter in that
respect has rights my entire family is
bound to respect. Our only regret is that
you did not send it up in a cage"
By this time the clerk had fallen I'D
against the counter, but the little man
paid no heed.
II might, possibly" he continued mildly
and weakly, "touch upon its age, but 1
have some reason to suspect that this but
ter is made from milk, that the milk came
from COW, and that COW is female,
and have been taught from my youth I'D
to abstain from any and all references to
age in relation to female kind, either re.
motely or CONTINUOUSLY. Therefore shall
not animadvert upon that subject, except
to remark incidentally that the phrase
feeble old age does not in the remotest de-
gree apply to this case. l wish you'd send
up to the house pound Of Soda four bars
of soap, package of starch, bushel of
apples and twenty-five pounds of sugar.
My wife asked me to leave the order, and
she said she'd come around herself and see
about the butter. Good morning." and the
little man walked meekly out.-Detroit

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are purgative and a
blood tonic, they act equally on the bowels,
the kidneys, and the skin, thus cleansing
the system by the natural outlet of the
body--they may be called the purgative
sudorifc and diuretic medicine. They
stimulate the blood so as to enable nature
to throw off all morbid humcrs, and cure
disease no matter by what name it may
be called. One or two OF them taken
every night will prove an infallible remedy.
