FUDGE CLARKSON'S FREAK.
Worked asa Labofer In Iowa While
Friends Thought Him Dead.


Omaha, Neb., Nov. District
udge Clarkson, who was supposed
. have been drowned or murdered
while bathing in Honey Lake, just
kcross the river from Omaha, July
%, returned here here today. He
BAYS that while preparing for a
bath in the lafe, he became sud-
denly possessed with an uncontroll-
able desire to do something lnyster-
fous and disappeared.
When he failed to return from
bis trip to the lake last July, the
lawyers of eastern Nebraska and
western Iowa turned out to search
tor him. For ten days more than
one thousand prominent lawyers
vearched tho lake for the body.
They joined hands and marched
In line across the lake repeatedly,
regardless Of the repulsive reptiles
with which the little body Of water
abounds. Finally it was declared
that the body had sunk in the
mire and could never be recovered.
The Bar Associations passed ap-
pfopriate resolutions and the mat
Der was dropped except by the
Judges relatives, who employed de-
|ectives to pursue the search, in the
hope that the body could be found.
A man alightsd from one Of the
barly trains from the east this
morning and at once went to the
postoffice. He called for Post
master Clarkson, his uncle, and
was at once shown into the private
room. Az Major Clarkson entered
bhe room he saw q man whom he
supposed to be- = tramp. He was
dressed like a laboring man, though
his trousers were fraycd At the
bottom and his sleeves we're out at
the elbows. He was dirty and
wore q stubby beard of several
weeks growth. The two men
pa ssed the time of day. Postmas-
ter Clarkson spok to the apparent
stranger and then suddenly re-
marked:
"My Godr Isn't this Joe Clark
SOM"
The answer was simply "Yes.'
Shortly after this Postmaster Clark
son and the shabby-looking man
entered q closed carriage and droye
away.
The judges story is full Of pathos
For many weeks prior to tho day
Of his disappearance the Judge had
had serious trouble with his eyes
He had consulted the most eminent
physicians and had been informed
that to save his sight an operation
would have to be performed. X
this operation he submitted and
the pain drove him frantic. Hi
trouble preyed upon and affected
his mind. He had but one idet
and that was to get away from
Omaha and its cares and burdens
On that fateful Friday morning
the judge, after transacting som'
business at the Office, went to
clothing store, bought . cheap sui
Of clothes and started for Hone,
Greek lake. There hs hired tn
boat and rowsd out into the lake
After floating around for some TIM
he returned TO the shore, changed
his clothes, putting on. the new one
and leaving the old ones in tn
boat. The occurrences Of the mex
few days are I blank in the judge
mind. When he next came bacl
to his senses he was near Clinton

Prospects of a Clean
Sweep.
Congressman Mills Seems to
Have the Inside Track in
Texas.

Topeka, Kan, March 15.-Ex-Gov.
George w. Click, of Atchison, in an in
teryiew here today, stated that the DEM
ocratic and Peoples state central COM
mitteeS had arrived at an understanding
and that the combination between the
two parties was now certainty. "There
will only be two tickets in the field"
said Gov. Click, land the combination
has been so effected that the Democrats
will certainly get three congressman
from this state. The peoples party
committee recognized that there was DO
chance for them IN the First and Second
congressional districts, and will give us
both.
"The Democrats will support the Peo-
pies electoral ticket, and IN exchange
the Peoples party will give us the con-
gresham at large and two places on the
state ticket. The combination is good
politics, for the Peoples party could
not expect to make clean sweep of the
state, and the Democrats simply hold
the balance of the power" The Peo-
pies party politicians deny that any
agreement was reached at the confer
euce between the Democrats and Peo-
pies central committee. Gov. Clicks
statement is the first authoritative an
nouncement of the result.

UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN.
Few Martyrs Among Rhode Island
Republicans.

Republicans.
Providence, X. l., March 15.-In
the Republican state convention today
a platform was adopted in which free
coinage is condemned and Mr.. Blaine
and President Harrison Endorsed, as
was also the protective policy. The
following ticket was unanimously
chosen: Governor, d. Russell Brown;
lieutenant governor, Col. Melville Bull;
secretary of state, Hon. George N. Ut
ter: attorney general, Robert w. Bur-
bank: state treasurer. Samuel Clark.
The several candidates were sent for
and expressed their thanks, after which
Senator Joseph r. Hawley, OF COnnec-
ticut, addressed the convention. He
said he would not have come up merely
for local election. I'VE have four
majority in the United States senate"
he continued. Nov suppose 1T to be
possible for David B. Hill to be elected
president. which God forbid. and you
would have house to correspond.
There is danger of losing senator
somewhere. There is some in Con-
necticut and little over here in Rhode
island. Study what the government
would be with Hill as president and a
Democratic senate. The question of
coinage and tariff we think We are
right on and we say it, mean except a
fraction of the party in the Western
part OF the country The rest of Sch
ator HawIey's remarks were mainly on
the tariff, and he was followed by Sen
ator Aldrich.

MILLS is STRONG.
Texas Senatosship Likely to Fall
to Roger.


to Roger.
AUSTIN, Tex, March 15.-The refusal
of the legislature yesterday to invite
Senator Hill to make speech to the
Texas legislature is construed as de-
feat for the state administration, as the
organs and friends of Gov. yIogg have
been loud advocates of Senator Hill.
The action is some indication of Mills
strength in the legislature. as the adj
ADMINISTRATION is dead against Mills and
in favor of Chiffon. Gov. Hogg'S APP
pointee. An informal caucus Of Mills
friends has revealed the conviction
that Mills has now 70 votes,
three more than necessary to elect. Ii
this situation is changed before the
22d, which is the day of election, it will
be due to administration influences.
] Hogg will not hesitate to adopt any eX-
tremc to defeat Mills, as Mills friends
throughout the state are largely OPP
posed to Hogg for second term as
governor. A poll of votes, according to
positive expressions and county inStruc-
lions, gives Mills sixty-six votes, three
short of an election. Mills friends
claim more than the necessary number,
sure to come from non-cOmmital mem
bers who favor Mills. but are afraid to
express themselves lest they antagon'
ize the administration.
oOpponents of Mills, with some show
of reason, claim he has lost ground.
Culbersonis friends claim he is gaining
ground, and they are very hopeful.
THAT the Mills faction is somewhat dis
concerted at the turn affairs are taking
is apparent from a big caucus they are
holding tonight.

sHERMAN's ASSURANCE.
A Canadian Criticism of His State
ment.

MONTREAL, March 15.-Tbe Montreal
Gazette, the official organ of the Do
minion government, in an inspired ar
ticIe says: The early portion of Sena-
tor Sherman's remarks on the solution
of the Behring sea question is all that
could be desired. The tone of friendli-
ness in which he speaks of the relations
that ought to prevail between the
United States and the motherland does
credit to his patriotism. But the sena-
tor soon swerYes from the line of good
will and impartiality and takes things
for granted in an astonishing way
when he talks of preventing ''poaching
on rights that were purchased from
Russia. and which the United States
have openly asserted and enjoyed for
hundred years" We are at a, loss to
know what this means. 1t is only TWEEN
ty-riye years since the bargain was con-
Guided by Secretary Seward; it is only
eight years since what is meant by the
word ''poaching" was taken any notice
of by the United States authorities, and
as for purchased rights, those so-called
rights, while Impoverished, were dis
ayowed as such by successive Washing
ton administrations"

THE BASKET TRICK.
How the Indian Jugglers Perform
Their Celebrated Mystery.

How the Indian Jugglers Perform
Their Celebrated Mystery.
In Maskelyne and Weatherly's new
book on conjuring the following ex-
PLANTATION is given of the famous Indian
basket trick:
''The basket used is common rough
wicker affair, so closely woven, how
ever, that it cannot be seen through. 1t
is almost spherical in shape and has a
narrow mouth, just large enough to al
low the entrance of the juvenile who is
apparently spirited away. Tine little
boy or girl, DIS the case may be, is pro-
duced by the performer and promptly
blindfolded, osSensibly with the view of
shutting out from his or her view the
awful doom which is imminent, but in
realty it is more to blind the eye of the
spectator than those of the subject.
The child thus prepared is placed in
the basket, where it coils itself. head
and heels together, around the inner
periphery of the basket. In this posi-
ton it is invisible to any one looking in
through the narrow opening which
forms the mouth of the receptacle.
Then the play begins. The sword is
thrust through the basket again and
again, the performer usually conclud-
ing his operations by jumping into the
basket ana trampling. supposedly, on
its occupant. Knowing the position
assumed by the child. however, one
sees that it is not possible to do any
damage by that means.
This crime having been committed,
the basket is turned up and shown to be
empty-So far as one can see. AT this
juncture the performer leaves no time
for any one to suggest an examination.
Another little child, often twin brother
or sister of the subject, who has been
lying perdu round the corner, arrives
on the scene and is passed off AS the one
operated upon. The donations are then
collected as quickly as possible, the
traps collected and the performers va
cate the scene of their exploits with all
expedition. Wonderful, is it not? And
the blood! Well, we'll, think you or
|, reader, could manage that. Our
raconteurs don't usually travel with a
microscope"
