EspOused Her Eleventh Husband.
VALPARAISO, Ind, Aug. IA wo-
man who was until recently Mrs. DIR.
Spencer of Bourbon has just been
joined in wed1ock to her eleventh
husband. and, as the bride of to-day
is but A years of age, time may posi-
bly, record many more matrimonial
alliances.
Her career is believed to be one of
the most remarkable on record. She
was a bride when a girl of Is. Ten
years afterwards she was divorced.
She was also separated from her Sec
ond and third husbands. The fourth
was a pardoned convict from the
Joliet penitentiary. Death ended
this union, and the season of mourn
ing was followed the choice of fifth
and sixth husbands from a legion of
suitors. She was divorced from her
seventh husband.
Her eighth husband had tragic
ending, and at the age of SO years
she was married to S. II. Brown, No. 9,
with whom she lived two years. To
this union the first child was born.
Brown disappeared and the next al
lance with DR.. Spencer was termi-
mated by his sudden death. The
courts of the state fail to record
parallel with the ex-Mrs. Spencer's
checlxered matrimonial life.

under the monarchy of Hawaii, and
Major Seward passed through here
Saturday night en- route to Washing

Wldemann, who heads the commission,
says they seek the defeat OF the
recognition of the new republic, and
urge reply to the ex-queen's protest
against the act of the former United
States minister to Hawaii, to which
her overthrow is attributable He
denounces the republic as being only
such in name. Mr.. Widemann was
first minister of finance under King
Kalakaua, also under the queen. He
went to Hawaii in 1S49, when the
British protectorate was in force
there, and he is of the opinion that
the present affair will end similarly,
and that the queen will be restored.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. L.
George Davis, Amos Rusie, Eddie
Burke and Charles Farrell of the
Giants were the heroes of this resort
yesterday, having saved John Conroy
of Camden from drowning.
Conroy, who had been drinking,
swan far beyond the limits, and the
undertow was swiftly bearing him
beyond reach. Among the bathers
were most of New York's team. AS
it was observed that Conroy was I'M
able to help himself, mighty shout
went up for the life saving guard.
A couple of the red shirted guards
raced into the water carrying life
preserver, which was rapidly unwound
from a reel of 500 yards of line.
Eddie Burke grabbed the preserver
from the hands of the guards and
threw it straight as an arrow at Con-
roy's head. Conroy had just strength
enough left to grasp it and he never
let go. Davis brested the breakers,
reached the half drowned Conroy, and,
with his right arm around Conroy's
waist, brought the exhausted man
nearer in shore, where Burke, Rusie
and Farrell assisted them to land.
The throng surrounded Davis, Burke,
Rusie and Farrell and hurrahed for
several minutes.

Shipped From America and Stolen En
Route From Havre to Pa ris.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-The police of France
are investigating what is probably
one of the most remarkable robberies
on record, and it is believed that the
police authorities of the United States
will be asked, if they have not al
ready been so requested, to take a
hand in the investigation.
In some unaccountable manner
cask of gold from New York, valued
at $50, 900, has been stolen while in
transit from Havre to Paris. The
Ere: ch line ship, La Touraine, Cap
tain Santel, left New York on July
81 for Havre with forty casks of
American gold on board, valued
at $4,000, 900 and consigned to various
firms. She arrived here July 90.
The forty casks of gold are believed
to have been safely landed at Havre,
but they are also said to have been
placed, complete, on board the train
running between Havre and this city.
But when the precious casks were
counted upon arrival here there were
only thirty mine of them; one caslz,
containing $50, 900 in American gold,
had by some means disappeared.

He Addressed a Large Audience at
Terre Haute.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. July 31.-Packed
like sardines were the people who
listened to President Debs, of the A.
R. o., in the opera house Saturday
night. The theater never held such a
crowd, and hundreds were turned
away. Many ladies were present.
Debs was enth usiastically received.
He said: '"This was a crisis brought
about first by the inhuman cruelty
and oppression of Pullman toward his
employees; secondly, by the railways
deciding to stand by Pullman in his
oppression; third, by an understand
ing among the railway managers hat
IL was necessary to crush the railw ay
union"
Debs then said that he had always
been in favor of arbitration and OPP
posed to strikes until the gauntlet
was thrown down and an effort made
to crush organized labor and there
was time when not to strike meant
degradation and dishonor, aud this
was that time. He made quite
lengthy address and was vociferously
applauded.
The labor leader did not admit de-
feat, but on the contrary he declared
that the war against Pullman would
be carried to the bitter end. He said
further that so far as he was con-
cerned this was the last strike in
which he should engage and tn at
hereafter he would fight out the b at
tie along political lines, appealing to
the ballot for restitution of the la.
borers' rights.

Kansas cHoLERA FUND.

Chairman BreidenehsI VIII Prevent Its
Use by Injunction If Necessary.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1.-Chairman
Breidenthal of the Popu1ist committee
will prevent the use of the cholera
fund even if he is forced to go into
the courts and get out an injunction
The section granting the appropria-
tion says the money may only be used
in case of invasion of cholera into
this state, or in case of threatened in
vasion of that disease, and then only
upon an itemized estimate submitted
to the secretary of the state board of
health. No such danger exists and
no estimate has been made by the
secretary.
Last summer when the board used
s., 900 no itemized statement was
made and no vouchers were filed
showing how the money was ez-
pended. It was drawn out OF the
treasury and no further account was
made of It, the secretary getting $500
and six members of the board 500
apiece.
Chairman Breidentha1 says this shall
not be a precedent to govern the use
of the money this year, and unless the
board can show that there is danger
of an actual visitation of cholera in
the state he viii enjoin the state
treasurer from paying ont the money

4 PERFECT WHIRLPOOL OF FLAMES.
A Great Quantity of Lumber, Gas Plant,
Railroad Property and Freight Were
Destroyed = Great Excitement
Caused by the F1ames-Trains
Delayed Several Hours
st. Paul Sends Help.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 1.-The
third disastrous fire in the history of
Minneapolis broke out about $3.50 yes
terday afternoon in the lumber yards
of the Shevlin-Carpenter company on
the bank of the MISSISSIPPI river at
the foot of Eighth avenue, north. It
spread with remarkable rapidity, and
before it was controlled destroyed
property valued at nearly $500, 900.
Besides 2O,OOG,O 600 feet of lumber,
the gas manufacturing plant of the
Omaha Railroad company, the round
house, Toulouse, sandhouse and turn
tables of that road, nearly forty
freight cars, some loaded with mer-
chandise, and the Office building of
the Shevlin-Carpenter company, were
burned. The saw mill, the planning
mill, drying kilns and store house for
molding and preparing wood, although
in the very heart of the fire district,
were saved by the efforts of the fire
men, aided by a fortuitous change in
the direction of the wind.
Help was summoned from st. Paul
and seven engines with full crews
were sent over from that city. The
insurance will be about $3.50, 900.
The fire has caused the greatest ex-
element and brought tens of thou
sands of people to the scene from
within radius of a score of miles.
1T was not long after the blaze was
first noticed when the heat became so
intense that the crowds were forced
back, and it was well they were, be-
cause in less than hour two tanks
containing gas used by the Omaha
Railroad company in lighting its cars,
under the Pintsch system, exploded
with terrific force, hurting fragments
of steel a long distance.
One piece weighing fully 500 pounds
was carried several blocks and
dropped in the railroad yards. A sta
tionary boiler also exploded but
caused no loss of life. Employees of
the railroad company, at the risk of
their lives, and with hands and faces
blistered by the fearful heat, rushed
into the fiezcest of the flames and
saved ten dead locomotives and nearly
100 cars, many of them emerging
from the sea of Fame, charred and
damaged by the maelstrom of fire
through which they were brought.
Incoming and outgoing trains were
delayed several hours, the fire being
short distance from the union depot.
Revised figures place the loss of the
Shevlin-Carpenter company at 1910, 900,
with insurance $16O. 600. The loss to
the Omaha railroad company, includ-
cars, is nearly $500, 900, covered by
blanket insurance. Losses by cars
burned belonging to other companies
will swell the total to upwards of
$500. 600

FARMING IN GERMANY.

A Consular Report Showing That Ger
mans Grow Diversified Crops.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Louis Stern,
United States consul at Bamberg, in a
report to the department of state,
gives some advance figures from the
statistical schedule, showing the agri-
cultural use of land in Germany,
which will confirm the statements of
those who have for years advised our
American farmers to engage in "diver-
sifed farming"
Almost one-half, or 1866, 900 hec-
tares of the superficial area of Prussia
was used for agricultural purposes in
1893, an increase of $4,000 hectares
over 1888. The conditions governing
the culture of products has changed
decidedly, and the agriculturists are
very generally turning from the ex-
tensive and almost exclusive cultiva-
tion of grains to the growth of such
products as are now made use of in
the industries allied to farming,
namely, the sugar industry and dis
tilling business, the culture of beets
and potatoes, ETC., thus promoting
cattle raising at the same time.

That They Are Good showmen.
GUTHRIE, Ok. Aug. 1.-The Ponca
Indians living on reservation in the
Cherokee strip have, during the past
week, shown their ability to look out
for number one and adapt themselves
to the ways of civilization when it
suits them so to do.
For several years great crowds OF
white people have been foclzing to
the reservation at stated times to wit
ness the annual sun and festival
dances of the tribe. Several weeks
ago the leading members of the tribe
went to Perry and contracted for a
large amount of lumber with which
they have enclosed Sheir dance house
and festival grounds with a high
board fence and are now billing all
the neighboring towns inviting all
the white people to come and see the
dances-at twenty five cents a head.
They viii open with grand sham
battle lasting six hours, in which
they will give realistic exhibitions of
tomahawking and scalping a victim,
and finally a wooden dummy will be
dragged off and tied to a stake and
the warriors will make prize run to
stab the victim, after which 4 fire will
be started and the regular burning at
the stake shown with the braves, over
zoo in number, carrying on a regular
war dance about the fire. This will
last all night and be followed all the
next day and night by the sun dance,
which will also be participated in by
the Otoes and Missouris.

Are the people of the West capable
of rising to a great opportunity?
Have they the genius and courage to
grasp, at an opportune moment the
results of a generation by the work
of few hours, days or weeks?
The question, * Ii only be answered
when the results of the Third Ma
tional Irrigation congress are known.
They can only be answered affirma-
lively by the presence of a large con-
vention, of convention properly
representative of all the states and
territories, of a convention capable of
realizing the Importance of the work
committed TO it and willing to devote
time, labor and thought in order to
effect a great result.
The Los Angeles congress, in it's
five days session last October, enun-
ciated the fundamental principles of
an irrigation philosophy. It then
created the Irrigation commissions,
charging them to study the needs and
ascertain the opinions of their various
localities. 1t remains for the con-
gress at Denver to formulate ma
tional policy and code of local laws
to be based upon the principles de-
clared at Los Angeles and upon the
report of these state commissions.

results. Whether we get them or not
will depend upon the amount of
brains, courage and devotion to duty
represented at Denver.
If every newspaper in the arid re-
gion, every member of national, in
ter-state, state and county organiza-
tions will unite in supreme effort,
the congress at Denver will be
memorial success. In that case we
shall make history as surely as it was
made at Philadelphia in 1776. Nc
popular convention in the annals of
the American people has done more
for human liberty and our country's
material greatness than the congress
at Denver will do under these cir
cumstances-
Let us highly resolve to make the
