Panic In O Ball Room.

Down at Garrison q large and select
ball was given in = hall, one end of
which had been partitioned off for sleep
ing rooms. A young man who slept IN
one of these rooms, and who felt grieved
because he had not been invited, and
had to roll around and suffer while the
glad throng tripped the light bombastic
toe, at last discovered q knot-hole in
the partition through which he could
watch the giddy multitude. While
peeping through the knot-hole, he dis
covered that one of the dancers, who
had an aperture in the heel of his shoe
and another in his sock to correspond,
was standing by the wall with the ven
tlated foot near the knot-hole. It was
but the work Of q moment to hold Q
candle against this exposed heel until
the thick epidermis had been heated

Worst May on Record.

LAWRENCE, KAN, June At was thought
that the weather for April had eclipsed any
possible record, but the monthly bulletin,
issued by Chancellor Snow, shows that for
genuine nastiness the conditions for April
are not to compare to those for May.
'The coolest, wettest, cloudiest and, with
one exception, the windiest May on our
record for twenty-five years, the report says,
and then adds: The total rainfall for the
five months of 1892, now completed. exceeds
twenty-nine inches. This is nearly double
the average and by far exceeds the preclpita-
ton of the same months of any preceding
year. Although the month was so cool there
was no frost at this station. The mean tenn
perature was 6O.04 degrees, which was more
than five degrees below the May average.
Tho rainfall was ISL inches, which was Alb
inches above the average. 1t rained on nine
teen days of the month. There was not an
entirely clear day during the whole month,
and more than 81 per cent. of the time the
sky was completely overcast. The total run
of the wind during the month was 14.345
miles, a mean hourly velocity of almost
twenty miles. On May the wind reached
velocity of seventy-five miles an hour.

Rusk Talked About,

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 3.-Advices re-
ceived from the officials of the farmers ALI
ance here confirm the reports from Wlscon-
sin that the peoples party of that state,
reinforced by the alliance and the labor
elements, have decided to make hot fgh.
in the approaching presidential campaign,
and the advices are further to the effect that
Wisconsin may fairly be regarded as doubt
full state.
Thousands of farmers in the northern part
of the state are said to have become tired of
both of the old parties, and to be ready to 60
into the new movement, and to support the
ticket TO be nominated at Omaha next month.
1t is said here that the alliance people in
many states are decidedly friendly toward
Secretary Rusk, and that should the Wiscon
sin farmer by any chance be given a place
on the ticket to be nominated at Minneapolis.
it would not be surprising if he were endorsed
by the Omaha convention.

Major wolcott Allowed Liberties.
OMAHA, NKB., June 4.-Majol Wolcott, who
commanded the cattlemen who invaded
Wyoming recently, has been ON an eastern
trip instead of being in confinement at
Fort Russell, near Cheyenne. 1t Is said that
Wolcott induced the army officers having
him in charge to allow him to visit Omaha
IN order to personally see Henderson and
state his side of the case. He hoped to make
the senator see the matter IN such a light that
he would uee his influence with the president
to have the cattle country of Wyoming placed
under martial law. Major Wolcott, it is said
visited Omaha last Saturday and went east
with Senator Henderson az far as Chicago,
returning to Omaha Monday. He is said to
have returned to Fort Russell and is once
more under arrest

The Wind Wagon Still Rolling.


MINNRAPoLIs, June 4.-The confdencl
with which the self-constituted Blaine boon,
ers have announced that he would accept the
nomination if it were offered him. and the
| calm assurance with which they are prose
cutting the contest in his behalf has sudden
ly given seriousness to the whole Blaine
movement, and the more careful politicians
are directing their attention to dill
gent analysis of the probable vote of variou.
state delegations. In the matter of figures
the Harrison managers point to states which
gave positive instructions for the president,
and point to assurances of support which
they claim to be daily receiving from in
structed delegations.
claim about everything in sight, not limiting
their figures to those states in which no in
structions we're given, but claiming scores of
votes from states positively instructed for
Harrison.
Hon. John c. New, of Indiana, consul gen.
eral to England and Indiana's member Of the
national committee, is at the head of Hsr-
Iowa, chairman of the national committe,
| is recognized as the leader of the Blaine
movement.
Chairman Clarkson says that on the first
ballot Blaine will have 600 delegates and that
Harrison will have less than half that num-
Ocrs we want Inc strongest man IN the
party" resumed Clarkson, land l think
Blaine is the man."
'What is the cause of Harrison's unpopu-
larity!" was asked.
He Is not unpopular. Simply because the
people of this country have decided that it
might be better not to nominate him for a
second term, it does not follow that Harri-
son is unpopular. It simply means that in
the opinion of the majority the best interests
of the party will be best subserved by the
nomination of some other man."
The declaration of Chauncy Depew in
Chicago, that having always been a Blaine
man, he was entitled to receive some inti-
nation, if there was any intention on the
part of Blaine to be candidate, and that
having received no such intimation, he had
taken the letter to Clarkson as official and
final, has q slight tendency toward dampen-
ing the ardOr of the local and visiting Blaine
boomers. Depew's position is admitted to
be strong one and especially as he bases it
upon the personal ground that the old and
tried friends of the secretary of state have a
right to claim his confidence and be advised
by him precisely where he stands, without
eQuivocatiOn or hedging.
Clarkson and Fasset combat Depew's posi-
ton by asserting that Blaine is still not a
candidate, but that his party will nominate
him, and he will then show obedience to his
party.
