Wednesday brought the news Of con-
fiict between cowboys and band Of
Mexican smugglers, which occurred
Monday night fifteen miles north Of

forded them the losses of cattle have
been heavy. The smugglers are led by

tions have been TO make raid upon
some ranch on this side Of the border at

panions reached the ranch of Michael
Lendover, twenty miles north Of Presi-
dio. They started TO drive of about
800 head Of cattle. A Mexican herder

twenty-five Of them started In pursuit
A running fire with Winchesters was
kept up for half an hour, during which
time Charles Thomas, superintendent
OF the ranch, and Juan Pelascos, cow
boy, were killed, while the smugglers

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept 16-Command-

sued the following yesterday:
"The painful circumstances which
prevents the president from attending
the great reunion of the veterans in
Washington is deeply regretted by all
his comrades in arms, regardless OF
party He was q participant In the
grand review Of the armies in 1885 and
had taken deep interest in the COM

that he would not only participate In
the march, which promises to be the
elimination Of the great gathering OF
the Union veterans, but in all the fes-
tivities of the week. The critical ILL
ness of his beloved wife has compelled
him TO remain by her bedside. Speak
ing out of the depth of my heart, and
voicing the feelings of all his comrades,
we pray that He who ruleth armies and
nations may give our president strength
and fortitude TO bear his great affliction
and that the partner OF his life may be
restored TO health"

and Several Tralnmen Fatally Hurt
DEs MONIES, Ia, Sept. 49, "A freight
and accommodation train collided on
curve of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad three miles west of Marshall
town just before noon yesterday. Four
men were buried under the wreck and
are reported dead and several trainmen
were fatally injured.
MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Sept 16.-The
collision yesterday on the Northwest
ern was one of the worst in the roads
history. Both engines were reduced to
shapeless fragments, nearly a score of
freight cars were wrecked, some of

of grain, merchandise and stock was de-
stroyed, four men killed outright, an
other terribly injured and several Sc
verely shaken up A wrecker named
John DosarlI had leg broken while
helping clear up the wrecSage.
Train Dispatcher Titus, Of Belle
Plain, is responsible for the disaster.
Freight No. 81 had orders to meet ac-
commodation No. IA at Lamoille. The
latter was given clearance to MARSHALL
town and an order for No. 81 to proceed
west was recalled, but it was not un
til she had been pulled out Of this city.
The two trains, while running forty
miles an hour, met on a sharp curve
three miles west of here. The crash
was terrible, and the result was ap-
palling. The crews of both trains

Linebaugh and a stockman named w.
e. Carlan, of Powell, Mich, were
buried under mountain Of wreckage

CATARRH AS A CAUSE
OF Nervous DebnIty-An American


OF Nervous Debnity-An American
HaladY.
Debility of the nervous system from in
temperate habits of any kind, or exposure
to cold, are quite likely to cause a condition
of the mucous membranes of the nose and
throat so nearly resembling catarrh that
they are practically identical. Also chronic
diseases which depress the nervous system
will produce the same result, notably
female weakness. They cause a habby,
pale condition of the mucous surfaces, with
a sticky, stringy mucous secretion. which
produce much hawking or coughing, gener-
ally called catarrh, but the whole trouble
is caused by nervous depression, pure and
simple. Besides the usual symptoms of
catarrh, the patient has brown specks be-
fore his eyes, slight dizziness. roaring in
the ears, attacks of nervous headache, pal
pitation of the heart, flashes of heat, fol-
lowed by slight, chilly sensations, faint
ness, depression, dependency, foolish
fears, and many other similar ones. In
such cases local treatment can do nothing
but harm, the only hope of cure being the
internal use of Pe-ru-na, according to the
directions on the bottle.
Every one beginning treatment for
catarrh in any of its many phases or COM
plications should send for free copy of The
Family Physician No . Address The Pc

The social jealousy existent between the
different aspirants for leadership in this
city is very marked at the Metropolitan,
says q New York letter. The Astors have
never looked with favor upon the Wander
bits, and both families unite only IN one
point. which is an open detestation of the
Bradley-Martins. All of these great ladies'
vie with one another in gorgeousness Of ap-
parrel and wealth of diamonds. On fash
ionable night there are from S15,O0O,OOO to
500, oOO.0O worth of jewels cleaning in the
two rows of boxes, most of which belongs to
the Astor family in its various branches,
or the numerous Vanderbilt faction. Mrs.
Bradley Martin, however, who has neither
relatives nor ancestors, makes a brave show
all by herself, with a crown of
diamonds worth a kings ransom, and
dog collar studded thickly over with
gems, each one of which is valued at
5000 The sole link that binds these OPP
posing danes together is Ward McAllister.
This famous creature has so small an in
come of his own that very frequently he is
put 20 grievous shifts to make ends meet
But he manages to live comfortably by pay
ing assiduouS court 10 the rich, and he may
be seen every evening at the opera carrying
tittle-t2ttle from one box to the other. At
present Mr.. McAl!ister is not in favor with
Mrs. Astor. While recently jovial over his
cups he asked Mr.. Jack Astor the genial
but impoliJe question, 'Does your mother
know you are out,''
The young man complained to his wife
and mamma of this impertinence, and the
impolite querist was punished by the tenn
porary withdrawal of the friendship of both
ladies. McAllister thereupon went over,
body, boots and cash book, to the Bradley
Martins, and is now trying to excite the
Aston jealousy by keeping Mrs. Bradley
Martin in screams of lauehter at the opera.

HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION.
Lincoln Chung to the Idea of Compensa-
ton, But All Rejected 1t.

-
ton, But All Rejected It.
Soon after his appeal to the congressman
Of the border states, in July, 1862, sa VS. a
letter by A. X Mcclure, Lincoln prepared
his emancipation proclamation, and quietly
and patiently waited the fullness of time
for procaiming it, still hoping that peace
might come without resort TO the extreme
measure of military and uncompensated
emancipation. Seeing that the last hope of
any other method of peace had failed, he
issued the preliminary proclamation on the
22d of September, 1862 and his final procla-
nation on the lst of January following,
and there never was day from that time
until Lincoln's death that he ever enter
tanned, even for a moment, the question of
receding from the freedom he had pro-
claimed to the slaves. But while he was
compelled to accept the issue of reYolu-
tionary emancipation, he never abandoned
the idea OF compensated emancipation until
the final overthrow Of Lees army in 1863
He proposed it to his cabinet in February
of sthat year, only to be unanimously re-
iected, and l personally know that
he would have proposed 1t to Stephens,
Campbell ard Hunter at the Hampton
Roads conference in February. 1865, had
not Vice-President Stephens, as the imme-
date representative of Jefferson Davis,
frankly stated at the outset that he was in
structed not to entertain or discuss any
proposition that did not recognize the per-
petuity of the Confederacy. That state
ment from Stephens precIuded the posi-
bility of Lincoln making any proposition,
or even. suggestion, whatever on the sub
ject. In a personal interview With Jeffer-
son Davis, when l was a visitor in his
house at Beauvoir, Miss, fifteen years
after the close of the war, I asked him
whether he had ever received any intima-
tion about Lincoln's desire to close the war
by the payment of S4OOOOO.OOO for emanci-
pated slaves. He said that he had not
heard of ii. I asked him whether he would
have given such instructions to Stephens if
he had possessed 4 knowledge of the fact
He answered that he could not have given
Stephens any other instructions than he did
under the circumstances, because. as presi-
Dent of the Confederdcy, he could not enter
tain any question involving its dissolution,
that beng a subject entirely for the states
themselves
