of the superin tendent of the Omaha

obstruction was reached. This was
not the only mischief that was done.
Wagons and buggies were turned bot
tom up in the river, and some of them
taken out of town. Several thousand
slaves were tipped lover, outbuildings
were overturned and number of
shade trees ruined. This is not the first
offense against the railroad. Some time

window in one Of the sleepers. and
number of switch lights have been
broken, and the company will undoubt-

AGAINST SETTLERS
Decision In a Land Grant Case In
Favor of the Omaha
Road
By Which settlers on $4,000 Acres
In Northern Wisconsin Are
Ousted.
1t Is Il Reversal of the Decision Of
Local Officials Made Last

ASHLAND, Wis, Nov. S.-Seclptary
Hoke Smith has made another decision.

by which the Omaha road secures un-

land. The case is entitled United

were after the land. In 1876 land

In 1890 Houlton filed declaratory state
ment for a portion of the lands. -Four for.
mer decisions have been made by which
100000 acres remained unappropriated
and was opened to homestead entry. In
1887 Secretary Lamar was directed to
Make IL Final Adjustment,
which was begun by him and completed
by Secretary Noble Dec ~, 1890. The
road was debarred from reopening and
from making claims for more lands"
says Secretary Smith, then why should
not the government be prevented from
reopening:' Houlton claims the lands,
which have been claimed by the railroad
company for 81 years. 1t might we'll he

they declared to he final and which the
company was willing to abide by. The
action is now repudisted and declared
not to be final. We, the company. have
a right to final accounting and adjust
ment. If the officers of the government
are unable to make an adjustment the
court should make final adjustment"
The commissioners decision of last April
is therefore overruled and the Omaha is
given mdisputed possession.

President Cleveland VIII Wire His Mes

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-The White
House will probably see very little of
President Cleveland between now and
Monday, the 4th day of December, when
congress reconveues in regular session.
The most of the intervening time will be
spent at Woodley in the preparation Of
his annual message. The president finds
he can work there to much better purpose
than i'll the executive office.
Nearly all the cabinet officers are well
advanced with their reports, which will
form the basis of the presidents recon-

matters. 1t is understood that each Off

sTEAD's PLAIN TALK.
The English Editor Shocks and Angers the
 Women of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Editor Stead created a sensation at the joint meeting of the women's clubs of this city at Recital hall. The meeting was called by the Chicago Woman's club to confer upon plans to aid the suffering poor women and children of the city Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson pre- sided, and the hall was filled with repre- sentatives of all the leading women's clubs in the city. Mir. Stead, who had been in- vited to ado ress the meeting, said he chief ly welcomed the opportunity because sit ting side by side with those active workers before him were some of the most disrepu- table people in Chicago. Nothing was more obnoxious to any one who paid any attention to the teaching of the gospel than the fact that the conventional judgment about the reputable and disreputable was quite foreign to the Christian ideal.
 Who were the most disreputable woni- GU in Chicagot They were those who had been dowered by society and Providence with all the gifts and all the opportunities and who lived entirely self indulgent. These women who had great opportunities only to neglect them were more disreputa- ble in the eyes of God and man than the abandoned women of the streets. MT. Stead's actual language was something stronger than that quoted above.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 2S-Dispatehes have been sent from New York and Washington stating that Major F.. G. Rathbone, who was John c. News Rdjutant general at Minneapolis as well as assistant postmas- ter general under Harrison. was at the head of an organization for Harrison's re- nomination.
 Major Rathbone has been here the past two days, and the Cincinnati papers have had articles about him working for Harri- son. The papers claim they are judging of Rathbone's mission more by his actions than by his words. Some importance is also attached to the visit of Russell Harri- son here last week. Rathbone made a de- nial and said:
 "I believe the story that there is an or ganiZation for the purpose of booming MT. Harrison for president in 1895 comes from some person or persons whp begin to think that Mir. Harrison will prove to be for midable candidate should he conclude to let his name go before the convention next time. Their evident purpose is to kill him off
 ''I do not believe there Is any booming or ganization in existence. and l am certain that l am not at the head of any such movement or in any way connected with 1t. Recent events tend to bring Mir. Harrison out in the striking contrast to the present administration and may be q cause for alarm on the part of those who may desire some other candidate for the presidency"

KILLED FOR HER GOLD.
An Aged and Mfserly Woman Murdered
 by Unknown RobberA

NEwARE, \. J., Dec. 2S- Elizabeth T. Petty, an aged woman who had the reputa- tion of being a miser was found murdered in her house. Robbery appeared to be the motive for the crime, for carpets had been ripped up, sills pried off, clothing torn to shreds and articles of furniture tossed about as though the strictest search had been made for the money which she was supposed to have boarded. Notwithstand- ing this, however, a considerable amount of money was found by the police in some old bundles that were stored about the rooms.
 The woman appeared to have been mur- dered in the hallway and the body dragged into an inner room. There were several stab wounds over the right eye and many bruises about her body. The police have taken charge of the house, but as yet there is no clew to the murderer. Dr. Elliot, the county physician, held post mortem and found that death resulted from strangula- tiOn. He said that his investigation showed that the woman had died of strangulation after being struck on the head with a heavy object.
