The conviction Of X. Hood Sher-
wood of Council Bluffs, for forgery
has caused a sensation. He is a
member of an aristecratic English
family and went to that place six
ear ago. His personal expenses
were heavy and when business began
TO drop of a year ago he used his
mariners share of the profits. After
they were exhausted he forged a
check for $500, using the name OF John
yankirk, a prominent farmer. Sher-
wood claimed he mentioned the fact
that he was in close circumstances 10
vankirk's daughter to whom ne was
engaged and she volunteered to get
money of her father that she lett the
room, returning in a moment with a
check signed by her father. Miss
yansirk testified against her lover
and denied the whole story OF tne
check. High living caused Sher-
woods downfall.

Minneapolis Tribune: If the low
price Of wheat shall have an effect TO
lead the farmers Of the Northwest
out of the single crop policy into
diversified agriculture, it will be one
Of the greatest blessings which ever
struck this section Of the earth. The
Investigations of Labor Commissioner
Powers into the subject of mortgages,
shows that in 1881 as in 1891 the
mortgage ridden section of the state
was the exclusively wheat section.
In 1881 the mortgage and wheat pro-
ducing section was Southern Mime
sofa: but that section has since risen
from the slough Of mortgage DIES pond
and found prosperity in live stock,
dairying, fruit and vegetables, wool
and flax, and thorough and progress
sive mixed agriculture. The wheat
and mortgages in 1891 had moved to
the northern and western counties.
The unusual opportunities offered
this season in cattle, pork and sheep,
should give those sections also an
introduction to the safer, more profit
able and reliable mixed industry.
The farmer who puts all of his eggs
in one basket, who depends upon
Providence and the weather for his
income, who raises year after year a
crop which is slowly and surely
exhauting his soil, who follows an
industry which employs him only half
the year, who deliberately invests
his entire labor and capital in a crop
which is the prey and victim of
cyclones and droughts on the one
hand and bulls and bears on the
other, is a shining mark the money
lender and political demagogue, and
inevitably falls a victim.
Less wheat, mortgages and politics,
and more meat and dairy products
and mixed crops; greater study Of
diversified products and rotation of
crops, and less attention to ~variegated
politics and rotation in offices; more
sheep, poultry, bees, fruit, clover,
root crops, and well bred stock,
supplemented with creameries and
cheese factories, starch and fax
factories, canning and beet sugar
factories, wooden mills and packing
houses-are the levers to lift farming;
and there were never brighter
prospects for the upbuilding of such
farming than In this 1893.

Another Mississippi Mob Takes the Law
In Its Own Hands.
COLUMBUS. Miss, Sept. 16.-H. T. Archer.
Will Archer, Polk Hill, Ed Guyson and
Ellen Fantai, all negroes, and the
latter q woman, prisoners confined In the
Jail at Carrollton, Pickens county, Ala.
were shot to death by mob Of masked
men. During the present week the mill
and ginhouse of j. r. Woods was burned.
The negroes were arrested and confined in
the Carrollton jail. The preliminary in
vestioation was in progress, but had not
been concluded.
On Thursday night the sheriff was
called on in his room In the Jail bull ding,
and told that parties had Q prisoner whom
they had arrested and wanted to turn over
to him. The sheriff came down from his
room and unlocked the Jail door. He
found himself in the hands of disguised
mob, who demanded of him the keys to
the cell where the prisoners were confined.
This request was urged upon the sheriff
by the glistening barrels Of 100 Winches-
ters.
After the officer was overpowered, the
mob quickly made their way to the cells
of the prisoners, and through the iron
bars the barrels of the Winchesters were
placed, and from every muzzle came a
dozen balls. In seconds time five hu-
man beings had been cruelty butchered
and their quivering bodies lay in blood
which ran in streams across the floor. The
mob then quietly dispersed.

Mr.. LINDSAY'S MAIDEN SPEECH.
More Light on the Mora Claim-The New
Kentucky Senator Makes . Forcibie
Plea for Immediate Repeal OF the
Sherman Law.
Mr.. LINDSAY'S MAIDEN SPEECH.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 16.-Among the Pc
titions presented was one by Mr.. Cullom
(Rep., Ill., signed by large number OF
ex-soldiers, residents of his State, alleging
that they were beset by detectives of the
government, travelling In disguise, So
cretly cooperating with those who have
been distinguished for their antipathy for
those who fought for the flag. 1t Is al
legged that these spies, with friendly
pretenses, visit the homes Of pensioners,
and with the basest hypocrisy and faw ming
information TO the Pension Office to deprive
old veterans of their pensions. The petit
tioners ask protection against the methods
of government officers who seek to brand
pensioners as perjurers and criminals,
without the right of being heard in their
own defense, and to be shielded
from the false and base imputation
of those high In power who seek
to discredit and dishonor the Union
soldiers of the late war, and to be pro-
tected in their old age from the severity
and bitterness of party and political per-
secution.
In presenting the petition he said that
he had had it read In full because it con.
tanned very serious allegations which, IL
true, ought to be brought to light, 30 that
the country may know what is going on
and that Congress may take action to
protect union veteran soldiers.
At 1885 the Senate proceeded to the con-
sideration of the repeal bill and was ad-
dressed in defence OF the bill by Mr.. Lind
say Dem. Ky.)- being his first speech in
the senate except some remarks OF an obit-
uary character. He argued that the re-
peal bill left unimpaired the bill Of 1890 so
far as it affected the coinage of silver in the
future. 1t was strange, he said, to hear
senator's assert that the repeal of the Sher-
man act would be to demonetize silver and
to strike down the last hope OF those who
held to the popular idea Of bi-metallism.
Stranger still was the claim Of Demo-
cratic Senators that the repeal bill was un-
democratic and in opposition to the Chi
cago Democratic platform. The pertinent
question 'If we are not to coin silver why
purchase itp had been asked in July,
1880, when the report Of the Conference
Committee (tho Sherman bilD was under
discussion. 1t had not been answered
then; it had not been answered gince;
and II could not be answered In ac-
cordance with the Democratic theory of the
powers and duties of the Federal Govern
ment. 1t was clear that the Sherman act
was intended to stop the coinage of silver
and to purchase four and one-half million
ounces of silver per month, for the sole
purpose of giving a market to those en-
gagged in the silver mining industry. Under
it silver was held rs commodity, not to
be coined into money except to very linn
tied extent gf

MORE ABOUT MoRA.s CLAIM.
The Cuban Said to Have Been . Bona
Eide American Citizen.


WASHINGTON, Sep. 16. - Washington
counsel representing the ong-pendlng claim
of Maxine Mora against the Spanish Gov
ernment assert that the published state
ments that Mr. Mora became a citizen of
the United States to save his vast estates
in Cuba from confiscation is not true; that
Mora has been resident and merchant
in the city OF New York since the year 1858;
that he was q naturalized citizen of the
United States at the time he was sentenced
by the court martial at Havana to be shot,
and when his Cuban estates were confis-
Gated on the ground that he was impli-
Gated in the Cuban rebellion. At
that time Mr.. Mora was in New York, and
was not In any way implicated with
the Cuban insurgents. The question of his
citizenship was decided by royal decree in
1876, the Spanish King accepting the proofs
which had been presented by our govern
ment, that Mr.. Mora wac q citizen Of the
United States, and that decree closed all
controversy on the subject.
They also controvert the statement that
Mr.. Mora has parted with the great bulk
of his interest in the claim and state that
family, who have lived in poverty more
than twenty years, will be once more in
independent circumstances.
They say that the agreement between the
Spanish government and government of
the United States in 1885, under which the
Spanish government promised to pay to
Mr.. Mora sl,500,000, was not in any
way provisional, but absolute, and that the
obligation of the Spanish government to
pay the amount stipulated has been ad-
mitted
