HYDE VERSUS Foeo.

w. H. Fogo, the irrepressible peddler,
was dealing out linen and cotton goods,
socks, suspenders, butcher knives,
pocket knives, etc., with lightning
rapidity and raking in hard cash by the
handful on one of our main thorough
fares Saturday afternoon. Said Togo
was in the best of spirits, having been
released from custody by the city that
morning. A sinister smile of satisfac-
ton adorned his face, which broadened
with each succeeding sale. as the hood
winked purchaser planked down his
cash.
There is no telling how long this state
of affairs would have continued, or to
what proportions Fogo's suspicious
smile have been evolved. We were
specializing on this when a sudden COM
motion in the crowd. which by this time
had grown very large. scattering in
every direction carsed us to look sharp
" about, and into view came a spectacle
which was probably the most remote
from our mind at that time. Later on
it asserted itself in an eminent degree
of satisfaction to all Dispensing the
crowd to right and left. a common, ev-
ery-day bob sleigh, to which was hitched
two fine horses, was sowly making way

claimed; and indeed it was he. La a
very few minutes he had bis caravan
stationed alongside of c. Il. Baxter's
store and was selling few goods while
engaged in giving away all that he
could.
Fogo's crowd had diminished to q
comparatively small number as soon as
his competitor had gotten we'll started;
the smile, which elected our sympathy
in his behalf, had likewise relaxed con-
siderablY, and heaving a sigh of salts

be held at o'clock. We learned later
on from a reliant person that the in

long before Togo had, and that said

Carrie B. Abrahams departed this life
Wednesday, Feb. %, at Spencer, Iowa.
She was visiting friends, and about
three weeks ago was attacked with per-
itonitis, which, despite all that skill and
loving care could do. resulted fatally.
The news of her death was a great
surprise to the community, as very few
outside of the immediate relatives knew
of her illness. Her brother, Anthony
Abrahams, went to her upon receipt of
the word that she was dangerously i'll,
and remained with her till she passed
away. Her sister, Mrs. Andrew Cairns,
arrived a short time before her death.
Upon this brother and sister .evolved
the sad task of bringing the remains
back to the soTowing friends,
Carrie b. Abrahams was the daughter
of Ezra and Margaret Abrahams, and
was born st Mount Hope, August 1866.
She was the youngest of family of
eight children, four sons and four
daughters, all attaining the age Of ma
turity. Two of the sisters and the
father preceded her to the better land.
She joined the Baptist church at an
early age and has ever been faithful
member ard earnest worker.
The funeral services, conducted by
the Rev. j. b. Utton, were held in the
church of her choice, Friday. p. M,
and she was buried in the Maggie ceme-
terry beside those of the family who had
gone before. A large concourse of
friends and relatives followed bert to her
last resting place. The sorrowing
mother. sister and brothers have the
sympathy of all in their sore bereave-
ment.

Hon. Geo. 3. Carter Nominated to Succeed
Himssh on the First Ballot.
At precisely o'clock Tuesday after
noon the delegates chosen to represent
their respective towns began pouring
into the spacious Court room of the
Court house. They numbered nearly 8
hundred and fifty, and Carter
enthusiasm was plainly depicted.
Senator Chas. Baxter, who had re-
NAMED at home to be present at the
convention and who is chairman of the
county committee. called the conven-
ton to order, and on motion of Frank
Thompson, z. ID. Blanchard, of Bosco-
bel, was chosen temporary chairman.
nj. T. Rindlaub, of PlattevilIe, was
chosen secretary, With Joseph Book as
assistant.
The chairman announced that the
plan agreed to at the last convention,
TO have the town committees forward
the names OF tbs delegates to the chair
man of the central committee, thus
obviating the necessity of appointing
committee on credentials, "a not
been adhered to by any town, and
Messrs. j. d. Wilson, K. Meyer, Jr,
and James Jones were appointed to
examine the credentials of the delega-
lions. The report of the committee on
credentials, showing that 15S delegates
were entitled to seats, having been read
and approved, j. d. Wilson moved that
convention proceed to an informal
ballot for candidate for County Judge.
Mr.. Wilson's motion was carried, and
en- informal ballot was taken with the
following result Geo. B. Carter, 125
votes; James Cabanis. q votes; scatter
ing, 5; total, 157. Carriers majority
over all, SO.
Or motion of James Jones this ballot
was declared formal and Judge Cartel
declared the unanimous choice of the
convention.
The applause at this stage of the pro-
cedure was great, and it was with diff
Guilty that the chair secured the atten-
ton of the delegates in order to
announce committee to escort the
Judge to the room. Messrs. Frank
Thompson and James Jones were
appointed on this committee, and upon
the appearance of the Judge the pent-
up feeling of the members of the con.
vention gave way, and amid vocifer-
GUS outburst of enthusiasm he was
escorted triumphantly to the rostrum.
1t was plainly evident that the Judge
was profoundly moved by this reception
at the hands of his friends and the
knowledge of his nomination which had
come to him unsolicited. In brief
but forcible speech he thanked the con-
vention for the honor conferred, which
he conceived to be the greatest Of his
life, coming as it did, without solicita-
ton.
On motion the convention adjourned
and the chairman announced that cigars
were on tap at the Office of the County
Judge, whittier the delegates betook
themselves.

France Notifies the Powers That She VIII
blockade Slams Coast.
PARIS, July 25.-The government has
notified the powers that it intended to
establish blockade of the Siamese
coast, without prejudice to the other
measures that may be taken with the
object of securing to France the guar
antees to which she is entitled. A
council OF ministers will be held to-day,
to decide what additional measures
shall be taken to ensure the obtaining
of guarantees from Siam.
President Carnot is at Marly-le-Roi,
and the cabinet has gone there for de-
liberation. The French government is
making arrangements with another
government for the protection of the
French subjects in Siam during tire abb
sence from Bangkok of M. Pavie, the
French minister.
The Des Debats says that as Siam is
a rich producing country, probably she
does not fear greatly the blockade. As
for operations on land, the Des Debats
thinks the Siamese will be supplied by
England with all the arms they need.
The majority Of the Paris newspapers
devote as much space to denunciations
Of England as TO the matter at issue
between France and Siam.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.

A Powder House Goes Up, Causing the
Death Of Two Young Mcn-The Bodies
Frightfully Mangled.
HUNTINGTON, Ind, July 25.-A pow
der house located on the river bank at
the western limits OF the city, and con-
tanning twenty-five pounds of dyna-
mite and 600 pounds of powder, was
blown to atoms in some mysterious
manner yesterday afternoon. Two
bodies were discovered in the vicinity
horribly mangled, one being identified
as Hugh Harvey, young man about 30
years Of age, and the other lad be-
lieved 10 be Homer Householder. So
terrific was the explosion that window
glass was broken half mile away and
buildings in the heart of the city trem-
bled with the shock. The powder
house was completely wiped out of ex-
istence, no two bricks remaining upon
each other.
The bodies of the victims were blown
distance Of 200 yards. They were
stripped Of their clothing and Harvey's
head was found some distance from the
body. A shirt band alone remained
upon one body, while the other was
identified by his shoes only. No one
,inows what caused the explosion.
