Strange Idea OF a Western Man Who
is Il Crank on Silver.
BOISE CITY, IDAHO, Aug. 21.-A special
from Orro Grande. in this state, tells Of the
peculiar acts Of a man named Alexander
Abshire, an old prospector and owner Of al
most 100 undeveloped silver claims Of little
OF no value. Abshire calls himself 1.-The
John Brown Of 1892 But the pseUdonym
OF Don Quixote would be more behtting
and appropriate. He imagines that the
west Ia being downtrodden by the gold bugs
Of the east, whom he asserts have pur-
chased congress and the President. He
wants the western and southern states to
secede from the union and set up an indie
pendent republic. The fres coinage Of
silver, he asserts. Is all that will save the
vest from ruin and dependency, and he
calls upon Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming and fifteen or sixteen other
states to raise troops and dominance war
of independence.
He saws he is willing to strike the first
blow. He has gathered around his stand
ard four followers who are as crazy as he is,
and they march and countermarch over the
hills near their camp at a great rate. Abb
shire carries a large white and red sheet for
q flag, and he says that as soon as his force
is increased a little he will commence his
march to Wall street, there to inaugurate
war against the gold bugs. He came TO
Idaho Just after the war, together with many
other members of Gen. Prices army. He
now carries the sword he carried during the
civil war. and his four men are armed with
muskets OF an antiquated pattern.

motion in the ranks of the republicans of
the county who have desire to become
public servants. They do not object to her
on the ground that she is not mentally and
morally capable OF performing the duties of

A BURGLAR ON A BICYCLE.

The Novel Way in Which a Chicago
Criminal Eluded His Pursuers
CHICAGO. Aug. 2L-Chioago thieves have
adopted new plan Of operating. 1t was
successfully introduced yesterday, when a
good-looking and accomplished burglar
rode up to the residence OF Jacob II. Cohen
on bicycle, and. after hourishing re-
voiver causing a servant girl to faint, ran
sacked Mrs. Cohen's jewel case and made
his escape with 81, 500 worth of diamonds.
The thief was chased more than one mile on
Indiana and Michigan avenues by patrol
wagon, but was too swift for his pursuers.
This is the first time the police depart
ment has had TO cope with a thief mounted
on bicycle and armed ready to do murder
ii need be. The success which attended the
efforts OF the thief who introduced bicycle
as one Of the accoutsrments OF his profess
sion will probably have the effect Of Undue
ing other thieves to adopt the same method.
The police have fairly good description OF
the personal appearance Of the thief, and
were searching for him during the after
noon and evening.

HE WAS Afraid OF BANKS.

A Wealthy Indiana Man Who Buried
His Money,
WABASH, IND, Aug. 21.-John Kisner, a
very wealthy farmer living near here,
died yesterday. He was an eccentric
character, with but little confidence in the
STABILITY of banks. He was a money lender,
and when about to make a loan he would go
to some Of his various hiding places about
his farm and dig up a moul1y mas Of
money, deposit it In one OF the banks in
Wabash, and then If the loan was delayed
he would transfer the money from one bank
to another every day or two for fear the
bank would break while 1t held his deposit.

Mrs. Hoffmen, OF Prohibition Fame,
Says They Fought For Expediency.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 21.-Mrs. Clara
Hoffman, the Kansas City prohibition
stumpsr, spoke here Friday night, and
created big sensation by giving the old
soldiers a roasting. She said: "The gov
eminent was infamous when it dolsd out to
soldiers pensions with one hand and with
the other took it for drink that debauched
them. The great army from the north did
not go to the civil war from principle or
righteousness, 1t was only exUediency. God
compelled them to do the right, they did
not want to. The civil war WAC not the re-
suit Of slavery, but it followed the firing on
Fort Sumter. There is something else to do
in this country besides perpetuating the
memories OF the war 1t is time we said
less about the old soldiers and more about
the citizen and his duty to the country.
God knows we have patted the old soldiers
on the back long enough. The war is over,
though we don'G seem to know 1t. We have
given them little too much: 1t has made
them big-headed."

Sad Drowning Of a Little Boy ForetoId
by His Anxious Mother.
SOUTH BEND, IND, Aag. 2l.-Dreams
seldom come true, but that is not the expe-
rience OF Mrs. Jacob Traub. who resides on
a farm north Of this city. Saturday night
she dreamed that her only son, Willie, aged
IA years, was drowned in the st. Joseph
river before her eyes and that through all
his death struggle she could give him no
assistance.
She told her dream to the family next
day, but the young folks laughed and soon
wanted to go to the river. Size gave her
permission under protest and the boy and
his sister went. Soon after he fell in and
despite his sisters efforts was drowned.
One sister tried to save HIM and would have
been drowned also but for the assistance Of
some men.
