STEWART AND CLAGErT.
Why the Nevada senator Wants to Seat .
Democrat.

Why the Nevada senator Wants to Seat .
Democrat
More than few republicans have been en-
denvoring for some time past to find ont why
Senator Stewart, who is q republican, should
be SO earnest in his endeavor to
seat Contestant Clagett who is demo-
crat. Some of Senator Dubois friends
have been investigating little and now it is
rumored they have discovered the true cause
Of Stewards activity. During the lifetime Of
the Fiftieth Congress Senator Stewart, they say,
tried his best to wipe Idaho of the map Of the
United States. He proposed to divide
then territory and wanted the lower
half to be tackled on to Navada;
the upper half was to become a
part of the state of Washington. Mr.. Dubois,
who was at that time 1daho's delegate in the
House, fought the scheme with that vigor
which is one of his, most marked
characteristics Senator Stewart, too, was per-
sistent. He realized that Nevada was retro
grading with disheartening rapidity, and
it was as evident to him as il was
to every one else that new territory
and new blood were necessary to Nevada
existence. Delegate Dubois came out
as a state and Delegate Dubois was
promoted to senatorial honors The contestant
In the pending case-Mr. Clagett-was,
they say, one Of the Idahoans who
supported Senator Stewart in his eff
fort to remove Idaho and increase
Nevada. The contest, they intimate, affords
Senator Stewart an opportunity to scratch the
back OF him who four years ago scratched his
Stewarts, back, or words to that effect

GROWING STEADILY WEAKER,
Though Mrs Schneider IL still Alive-What
the Physicians will Do.

1nougn mrs schneider La still Altve-Whot
the Physicians viii Do.
Mrs. Schneider. the young woman who was
| 90 terribly wounded last Sunday evening by
her husband, still hangs on to the little shred
Of life remaining with tenacity that is really
heroic. She has entirely given up hope of re-
covery and has frequently expressed a regret
that she was not instantly killed, as was her
brother, instead of hanging on at the point Of
death as she has done.
II there has been any change in her con-
dition since yesterday it is for the better, but
SO slight has been the improvement as to be
scarcely noticeable and is more than offset by
the fact that she has grown steadily weaker.
Notwithstanding the fact that her re-
covery now would be almost q
miracle neither the family nor her physicians
have given up hope, and they are doing every
thing possible for the suffering girl There is
one physician constantly in attendance at the
house, and DR.. ]. Ford Thompson and the
others, who have been connected with the case
since the shooting took place, call ct frequent
intervals.
The fact has become evident that the bullet
that laccrated the intestines also pierced the
stomach. She has not been able to retain any
nourishment and q little champagne and
shaved Ice is about all that her
ss This have orn asrsd sb give ,d asr
little hot milk, but failed to keep 1t down, and
recourse has been had to hypodermic injec-
tions In order to keep up her strength. 1t is
hoped that as soon as the lacerated in
testines are sufficiently healed it may
be possible. to clear out the obstruction by
means Of physic, and the question is as to
whether or not she will have strength enough
to hold out until then.
At present they are unwilling to predict
what the probable outcome may be. They
hope for the best, but it Is also certain that
they do not expect it.
The block on which the Hamlink residence 10

Father Barbe Causes a Sensation.

PARIS. Feb. Father Barbe, a popular
priest, has created a sensation by an attack on
the government While preaching in the
cathedral at Bazas, department of the Gironde
the father said that France was governed by exc
cutioners and sectarians. and that the only way to
redeem the French nation from their deplorable
condition was to restore the ancient line OF
Catholic kings. This utterance was greeted
with Kisses and shouts of protest and also some
cries of approval. The great majority of the
hearers were against the preacher and left the
cathedral, loudly condemning the priest and
royalty and shouting for the republic. An in
dictment has been found against Father Barbe
and he will be vigorously prosecuted.
