GOOD FEELING NEVER MORE QUICKLY
RESTORED AFTER HARD FIGHT.

GOOD FEELING NEVER MORE QUICKLY
RESTORED AFTER HARD FIGHT.
MINNEAPOLIs, JUNE 12-Peace and
good feeling have succeeded the hot
strife in the Republican National Conyen-
ton more speedily even than the most
experienced campaigner would believe.
The houseful of guests whom Senator
Washburne entertained at his fine home
here was the bottled of the antiHarrison
forces. There we're few administration
men among the Senator'S friends, but MOST
of them were first Blaine men ard second
McKine y or Sherman men, and last OF
all administration men. They parted all
Harrison men. 1t was very encouraging
sign.
Even Senator Teller of Colorado, whose
extreme free silver views made him the
most unreserYed and OutspOken enemy of
President Harrison, remarked to-day.
"Whatever can be said about the
ticket in the way of criticisms has been
said already. For the next five months
it will grow ir favor as Harrison has at
other times, and he is sure to be elected
Teleyrams received here from all parties
of the Northwest show that the ticket is
we'll received in that section of the
country. The leading Republican news
papers of the Northwestern States have
favored Harrison's nomination all along,
and without exception they are jubilant
now.
MIR. spooner, the brilliant ex-senator
from Wisconsin, said "The Republican
party is always deliberate, thoughtful
and patriotic, and what man known to
the American public more Rttingly meets
the requirements of that test than Benjs-
min Harrison National Republican con-
ventioas have not been accustomed to
make mistakes. and none has been made
IN the choice of Benjamin Harrison
Mr.. Depew, who came along at that
moment, added: "Witb greater difficulties
than have beset any administration since
Lincoln's and before that since Thomas
,Jeffsrson's. President Harrison has yet to
put on record his 6rst mistake of official
act or speech"

Re+tie Lewis Wins Her Case.


Richmond. Va, June 1G,- Bette Thomas
Lewis has at last won her suit in the
court of highest resort, The opinion was
handed down at Wytheville today. 1t
was written by Judge Fauntleroy and
concurred in by Judges Lewis, Hinton
and Richardson. Judge Lacy dissented.
The decision of Judge Leak was sus-
tanned in every particular. This means
that all of Mr.. w. A. Thomas estate is
awarded to his ilegiiimate colored daugh-
ter except the SIS, 600 represented in his
bank book, which goes to the helrs-at-
law. After the payment of all expenses,
rece vers' fees, &C., there will be about
SlsO 600 for Bette Lewis and her law
yers. 1t is said that her counsel Will get
halt of it. Mr. l. lgar Allen, am told,
will receive $4,000, ex-Judge Waddill,
Col. w. w. Gordon and ex-Judge E. c.
Bnrks 900 each, and the firm OF
Christian x Christian $4,000.
The history of the case has been often
told and in brief it is as follows Mr.. w.
A. Thomas, a wealthy and eccentric old
gentleman, died in Richmond in Junuaryi
1859. He had all his life refused to have
ANYTHING to 10 with his relatives or any
Other white persons generally. His house
keeper and constant company was Bet
tie Thomas Lewis. his child by coloied
woman On his death bed he gave Bette
the keys to bis vault in the bank where
be kept his valuable securities and told
her all his property was to be hers.
Therefore she claimed the estate by 9 it
donaGo morris causd. The hers-at-'aw
came forward and also claimed il and
hence the suit. Bette Lewis is the wife
of a colored druggist of this city. She
is highly educated and would be mis-
taken for a white woman. She is, OF
course, very happy over the result. The
decision is a popular one, for nearly every
person believed the woman should have
had the property as there was 10 doubt
that Mr. Thomas intended 1t for her.

would not sell for $500 She had atthe
time four young puppies.
While the visitor was admiring the
little mother and her babies the assist

sing. Two dogs, each larges than the
little mother, were standing about. but
the herder said neither Tom nor Dick
would find the missing sheep; Flora

In vain did the assistant urge that her
feet were sore; she had been hard at
work all day, was nearly worn out, and
must, in any case, attend to the wants
of her puppies The master insisted.
The sun was setting, and there was no
time 10 lose.
Flora was called and told to hunt for
the lost sheep, her master pointing to
the forest on whose edge the shack was
situated She raised her head, but SEEM

looking tired and broken hearted and
with head and tail down trotted YEARLY

promptly notify this office so it could

these gentlemen follows up the Bloom
ing creek to its junction with the Big
Grant. and then up the river, striking
the ridge a couple of miles from this
city and connecting with the track
about a quarter of mile north of the
depot. This route though not the most
direct is comparatively level and
Bloomington's enterprising citizens are
going to have railroad if money and
argument can induce the Railroad Com
pany to extend their line to their city.
