Little Napoleon Mckinley Meets with

CINCINNATI, June GA special to the

of Massillon returned to Governor Nc

Here is the letter from the relief com.
mittee:
MAssILLoN, c., June 8.
VIM. Mckinley. Governor Of Ohio:
SIR :-Enclosed you will find $40, your
donation to the miners of Massillon.
They unanimously refuse to accept a
mite from the man that assisted in
smiting them. Your donation was 30
licIted because the miners believed you
were at least as much in sympathy with
them as the ordinary everyday citizens,
but since yon have divested yourself of
your true character, standing out in
glowing colors, they abhor the 0ontami-
nation of your charity.
Your ambition in presidential way,
so far as the miners are concerned, ie
sure to be gratified henceforth. Yours,
etc. (Signed)

DUBUQUE, Ia, June 9.-The most de
structive fire that ever visited Dubuque
started about O'Clock by spark from
the LIE Sur lumber yards. The fire
burned from Sixth street toy Eleventh
street, distance of three squares. I'm
mense piles of lumber went down and
mills, factories, warehouses and barns
were reduced to ashes, leaving fully IL
acres of ruins. The fire had
burned several acres OF she
lumber yards when the LIE Sur mills and
its $50, 900 plant was wiped out The
fire destroyed Glab's cigar factory and
wiped out several million feet of lumbe
in the way and attacked and glutted the
old mill. This was brick structure
and the walls served as barrier, the
fire stopping there. Firemen were sent
from East Dubuque and they got control
OF the fire.
The buggy factory was burned. Fully
10000. 900 feet OF lumber was burned,
besides the mills, warehouses, factories,
ETC., causing q total loss of $500, 900, ON
which there is an insurance aggregatine

CHICAGO, June 9.-Ohairman Cald-
well Of the Western Passenger associa.
tion received today informal notice ol
the Atchison's withdrawal from the
summer excursion agreement. During
the day the lines interested in the keep.
ing OF the agreement met at the Office Of
Chairman Caldwell and drew up letter
to Passenger Traffic Manager White ol
the Atchison declaring in the most
positive terms that they were not violat.
ing the agreement and were willing to
surrender all contracts that could
be shown to be in violation oil
the agreement. This was given to Mr..
White shortly after noon, but no answer
was made today. The Atchison has
already delared 1t will not come back
into the agreement, as it firmly believes
the Alton, Burlington and Union Pacific
have violated it, and instances are cited
in which the Atchison claims each of
these roads have made contracts
contrary to the agreement. The
accused lines stoutly deny they have
made such arrangements and offer to
satisfy the Atchison on that point. The
latter line, however, refuse TO accept the
alliances and will not come back into
the agreement under any circumstances.
The lines outside of the four directly in
terested in the fight are very anxious to
have the matter fixed up, as the pros
pect for destructive war in the sx-
cursion rates are altogether too bright to
suit them.

MRS. STAMFORD TOLD.

The Govern ment win Hold the Estate
Liable for Railroad Obligations.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has received service OF notice on
behalf OF the government that the estate
OF her husband will be held liable for
Pacific railroad obligations. The service
OF this notice has been transmitted to
the department of justice by the United
States district attorney at San Francisco.
The 10 days allowed by the California
legislature within which Mrs. Stanford
might admit the debt, and thus avoid
litigation, expired yesterday. 1t Is, OF
course, expected this admission will not
be made. Today was, therefore, the fret
day on which the government could mako
application to the superior court OF San
Francisco to have the claim of the
United States made superior to all
other claims, except funeral expenses
and those incident to the last illness
of the deceased. The California law
gives the preference, and those interest
ed In the prosecution expect that move
as the next in order by the attorney
general.
There 10 no limit within which the at
torney general must act. He might de-
lay until all the other claims have been
passed on. This will cover the next 10
months. But it is the belief of members
OF the California delegation in congress sc
that the attorney-general will apply very
soon. 1t Is said there would be an ad.
vantage in this, and it would keep the
Stanford estate from being depleted by
the compromise and payment Of private
Claime.

NOT TO BE BULLIED.

1t was the boast of Colonel McGoffin
Bales of Kentucky that none but dis
tinguished man had the hardihood to
propose marriage to one of his daugh-
ters. The old man was an aristocrat by
blood and long experience, was afraid of
no one, drank liquor gracefully, smoked
home grown tobacco and had, while the
owner of woodward on Green river,
knocked down more steamboat mon than
any other man in his state. He argued,
and with justice, it must be admitted,
that it was his duty to protect the affec-
tions of his daughters, to guard them
against misappropriation. "See that a
man is worthy Of your love before you
give it to him." he was wont to say.
Establish a cause and thereby justify a
an effect. There are many ways by
which man may distinguish himself
by bravery, by skill in certain directions
but woman must look to marriage
There are ways for her to become no.
torious, to get herself talked about, but
her truest distinction must come through
her choice of husband"
Finally all the girls save one were
married off. Rose had been plucked by
man who was put off until he had
snatched distinction from the tight hand
of fate. And this is the story they tell
of him. He had been a failure, a mere
nobody, up to the time he accepted the
challenge Of a ringmaster to ride trick
mule. He had failed as distiller-and
when man fails at that business in
Kentucky there is an organic weakness
about him--he had failed as a county
clerk, as town marshall; he had owned
a slow horse, COW that was dry half the
time-in fact, it was agreed that there
was no hope for him. But circus came
along. He was q candidate for sheriff at
the time, but with no chance of success
Even his best friends guyed him.
Well, he went to the circus and sat
on one Of the high seats. unhonored, un-
discovered. The trick mule was led out
and i'll due time slammed the senses out
of livery stable negro. Again the chal-
lenge was shouted, but the negroes
shook their heads and it was not expect
ed that any one but negro would come
forward. The crowd was disappointed.
Was there no one there with nerve
enough to cspouse tho cause of the peo-
pie? Just at this moment Shanks Boyle,
the failure, arose and said that he reck-
oned that he would undertake the job.
And he rode the mule.
And they say that the poor thing
squatted and brayed for mercy. Boyle
was elected sheriff. and then the next
year was short in his accounts but that
made no difference, for his friends, true
admirers of genius, made up the deficit.
Shortly after this he married Rose Bales.
The remaining daughter was named
Lily. She was the handsomest flower in
the garden, and no young man in the
community had an excuse to fall in love
with her. But net long ago there stroll
ed into the neighborhood lank, peoul-
lar looking fellow who said that he was
on the lookout for a chunk of wife.

He Was Absentminded.

The absentminded man is at it again.
He had been reading the egg story and
decided to try the trick. The first thing
to do was to boil the egg How many
minutes? he asked himself, and going to
the stove with the egg in one hand and
his watch in the other he dropped the
latter in the hot water. Then, placing
the egg on the table, he sat down to
read until the time was up. At the end
of five or six minutes he was surprised
to find the egg lying there before him;
but, supposing that he had himself
taken it from the kettle and cooled it,
he proceeded to crack and peel it. The
consequence may be imagined. Finally
he missed his watch. The house was
searched high and low, and it was not
till the following morning that the cook
found it in the kettle, where it had been
boiling for hours. Exchange.

When he returned with the coffee,
the general looked at it a moment in
supreme disgust. The fluid had stopped
down the side of the cup and half filed
the saucer.

''Look here!' said the general sharp

Come walk along the beach with me
And hear the breakers roar.

They fling themselves upon the sands
And foam with fear or wrath.
The shore receives them, patient, dumb,
Nor trembles at their shocks,
But lifts to meet them as they come
Its great, insensate rocks.
They calm me with their awful strength
So small my life appears,
So less than nothing in their length
Are all my days and years.

And seem an atom tost
To wandering winds, and what to me
Is joy if kept or lost?
