That "Private Iams" Affair.

EDITOR BISMARCK TRIBUNE: Reading
in your paper an old soldiers opinion in
regard to the punishment of Private
Iams at Homestead. I, an old soldiers
wife, would like to say a few words in
the ~private's behalf. While Iams vac
guilty Of a grave offense n hurrah-
ing for the ld-be-murderer, and
should have been punished, did he de-
serve the treatment he received? Was
it necessary to torture him? Gould not
have more humane means been employed
to punish him? Does not such violence
suggest ages of barbarian rule?
Old Soldier thinks they did just right
to punish him when their anger was at
it's height, for the reason that before they
could convene a court martial their
angry passions would have cooled and
the gravity Of the ofense would have
been looked on in a different light and
possibly condoned the offense.
When I was a child my mother used
to say to the children when they COM
mitted a fault: II will not punish you
now but will do it tomorrow" or perhaps
some other day. While the waiting for
the punishment THAT war sure to Gomez
was worse than the punishment itself,
her anger had time to pass away and the
reproof was very much lessened by the
waiting, and she had saved in self
respect and the respect of her
children. Would not the respect
of the people for Col. Streator Il am
glad friend D. R. don't spell his name
that way been greater if he had left
Private Iams to be punished as the law
dictates and not have made himself jury,
judge and executioner?
When the civil wal broke out I was
living within a short distance of old Gen.
esee college in New York. Its halls were
filed with students from north, south,
east and west, of all political parties. I
have often heard those two hundred stu
dents debate in their different literary
societies on the political situations of the
day. Some were republicans, some were
democrats, some we're for fighting the
south to the bitter end, and some were
for more moderate ways Of settling the
difficulty. All had opinions of their own.
But when the alarm came that their
country's flag was in danger they left the
halls of learning and marched in q body
to the enlisting, Office and enlisted to
fight for their country and common coun-
try's flag. All their differences were for
gotten 10 the hours of their country's
danger, and who has any doubt but if
there had been a conflict between the
troops and the Homestead strikers, but
what Private Iams would have been
found as bravely fighting to sustain
peace as even Col. Streator?
I lived in the times of the great civil
wal and saw so much Of the brave and
noble conduct of private soldiers that 1
cannot but believe that such men az the
old soldier speaks Of was very rare. I
have great respect for the true soldier be
he officer or private, who takes his life
in hishands and goes out to fight for his
country's flag or to protect the citizens
home or property. They should be treated
as human beings and brave men.

How Columbus Discovery Affected a Cit,

Before the voyages of Columbus, Ulm
numbered $4,000 prosperous people, and
she is the first town of the Danu be
that can say that her prosperity
as a town was ruined by the discov-
cry of America. 1t seems strange at this
day to think of this little fortress as
being a great port for the trade of the
east, and yet so it was. Cargo boats went
down to the Black SET, carrying the manu-
features of western Europe and bringing
back the treasures of the east, even from
China; but all this came to an end with
the discoveries of Columbus and the diver
sion of eastern trade around the capes.-

A Crazy Woman's Attempt to Burn n Church
by Pouring OIL on the steps.

The congregation of the Crescent-ayenue
Presbyterian church of Plainfeld. n. j., was
startled and almost thrown into a wild panic
Sunday evening 10y young woman running
down the aisle IN the midst OF the services
calling loudly for the pastor, the Rev. w. X.
Richards. She wore neither hat nor wraps.
and her red hair was streaming behind her.
A prayer was being delivered at that minute
and when the interruption, preceded by the
violent throwing open OF the front doors.
came. the congregation, numbering about
800, looked around IN surprise and alarm.
Then from the stairway Leading from the
vestibule smoke was seen 70 curl up into the
gallery and in almost the same instant
cloud of it poured into the church. Instantly
there was great excitement among the cougre-
cation and there was grave danger of panic.
but men who preserved their presence of
mind quoted the ailrighted women while
others ran 10 the yestibule.
In the yestbuie il was seen that deliberate
attempt had been made to burn the church.
Some one had poured oil on the floor and
over the rest of the woodwork. soaking 1t
thoroughly and then had thrown match on
the oil so that the room was almost instantly
in blaze. When the men who first started
for the yestibule reached 1t. flames filled this
room and were rapidly eating their way up
the stairs 30 the gallery. There was q sitting
smell of burning kerosene. Water was hastily
procured and after brisk fight, the flames
were extingnished.
This done attention was given 10 the
woman who had rushed into the church TO
alarm the people. She had been recognized
as Marion Mahon. servant employed By j.
Clifford Wharton who lives in Crescent ave-
nue.. 1t was found that she had left the
Wharton house shortly before o'clock. TAX
ing with her a can OF kerosene oil Reaching
the church she poured the oil round layishiy
and lighted it, AS soon as it began to burn
she threw open the door and burst in upon
the startled congregation. The woman. who
is about thirty wears old. was arrested. For
some time she has been looked upon as being
slightly demented but every one thought she
was harmless. The damage 10 the church
was not great.
