Thomas Moonlight, Nominated 10 be min
lister TO Bolivia. Is about % years old and
has been prominent in Kansas politics
since before the war. He was Democratic
candidate for governor in 1856, and Was
defeated by John A. Martin President
Cleveland subsequently, appointed him to
. Federal Office. He Is one of the best
known men in Kansas and 4 ready stump
speaker. he has been IN Washington
City for months, seeking Office, and the
New York San has made him famous by
printing editorial notes like this about
him:
Col. Tom Moonlight made the belIboy
morning because the cocktail was too
sweet He breaffassed on q Spanish
mackerel and st once retired TO his room
and resumed his lessons under Mr.. Ollen-
dorf. with valuable hints as 10 pronuncia-
ton from the Brazilian parrot that he
bought Of an old aais who now keeps
saloon in Georgetown.
"sHe hailed the bird in Spanish speech,
TIE bird in spanish spsech replied
1--WE must warn Col. Tom Moonlight,
however. that the language he Is likely to
hear from his bird IS Of too imprecatiye
and interlectionai q sort 70 be initiated by
dipiomafist. These rascals of birds are
usually educated IN Flanders, and their
conversation would not be tolerated in
Bolivia. That Col. Moonlight is to be ap-
pointed minister to Bolivia seems, If not
absolutely settled. 1T least settling: and We
invite Bolivia and the colonel to shake In
congratulations If the climate of Bolivia
should be thought TOO rude for the coionel's
health. there Is the Victoria consulship
waiting for him. or he can have the vice
consuiship at the Squatchum islands.

For some time the police had reason 10 susPeSt
Schouton on account OF his being seen our III .ne

The officer kept track of him until few minutes
before he set fire 10 the Windmill barn In some
way ne managed 10 get ont of sight of the oftcer.
and 1t is believed that he did this by suddenly
throwing himself in the high grass where ne was
seen hiding by Mr.. Butler. Policeman smith was
looking for Schouton when the flames burst from
the Windmill barn. A., 49,.
1t is thought that at least dozen incendary hres
were started by SchoutOn on the Island IN the iast

The property destroyed Yesterday morning by
Schouton was worth about 5000. ,
There is much speculation as to what motive me
prisoner had for starting the fires. Some think ne
Is not of sound mind. while Others believe that he
had a grudge against the village authorities.
