DastaFdIy Outrage on CoIorado's
Adjutant-General.
COLORADO SPRINGS Col, June 23, 1894. =
Adjutant-G General Tarsney of the Colorado
National Guard was tarred and feathered by
a party of masked men last night. He was
called to the telephone in the Alamo Hotel,
where he is stopping, and, while talking,
was seized by masked men and hurried away
in hack.
Arriving at the open prairie at Austin
Bluffs General Tarsney was removed from
the carriage and stripped and a coat of tar
and feathers quickly administered.
The ringleader of the kidnappers had
previously given orders that Tarsney was
not to be abused. This order seems to have
been obeyed after the General was subdued
by clubbing at the hotel. After tar and
feathering General Tarsney the mob warned
him against returning to the Springs
While the mob was at the hotel Police
man Agard heard the calls for assistance,
and while on the way to render aid was
stopped by another member of the tarring
party and compelled at the point of a reyol-
yer to halt until the balance of the mob had
secured their man.
In less than ten minutes after the hacks
had departed three mounted police started in
hot pursuit of the abductors.
One of these people, who struck the right
trail and came up will the mob. also had
the pleasure of looking down the muZzIe of
villainous gun and ordered to surrender.
This be did, and was an involuntary witness
to the outrage

to the purchase of a seat III the Senate by
ex-senator Payne of Ohio.
Mr.. Hill said that Blr. Allen had given
the newspapers as his authority, and he
added ironically that he had nothing to say
against the newspapers; he had never been
attacked or misrepresented by the news
papers Qaughter), and therefore he could
afford to be generous with them. But he
noticed that in the Edwards article, on
which an investigation had been ordered
by the Senate there was statement that in
1892 money was sent out to Colorado to buy
up the Populist vote Of course, he added
sarcastically, that could not be true. Popu-
lists could not be bought. That must have
been simply an idle newspaper story, And it
was on such stories that the Senator from
Nebraska charged that seat in the Senate
had been obtained by bribery and corrup--
ton He tMr. HilD did not need to defend
the integrity of the United States Senate.
DEFENDING THE SENATE.
A great majority of Senators were poor
men-men who lived on their salaries and
what they could earn during the recess in
their business or professions. The million
aires among them were few. Senators were
men of honor and integrity, who We're en-
deavoring to discharge their public duties
according to their consciences, and SO serve
the country as best they could.

BIG CHERRIES IN OREGON.

Under the head of Promising New

Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture, for 1898,
appears description of the Bing cherry,
originated by Seth Lewelling of Milwaukee,
Ore, accompanied by very handsome col
ored plate, which does full justice to this
cherry in every respect except as to size,
The description says that the Bing is the
largest cherry ever received at that office, In
quality it is classed as very good, and is also
pronounced an excellent shipper; season,
first half of July in Oregon. For com
parison with the Bing an illustration is given
on the same page of the Napoleon. a popular
old variety of European origin, widely
grown in California and Oregon under the
name Of "Royal Ann" This is fine pic,
ture of the Royal Ann, but in size not equal
to naf1y cherries of that kind seen here. In
the same article appear descriptions of the

cherries, originated by G. E. Hosklns of
Newberg. Oregon is likely to maintain its
supremacy over all other States in the mat

END OF THE BALLORING
Today's Coupon the Last in
"The News" Teachers Con-
test-MiSs Kelly's Sur
prise.

THE JERSEY CITY News Teachers Con-
test for $3.50 to defray the expenses of a trip
to Europe, is nearing the end. The last
coupon appears in today's paper, and
promptly at noon on Monday the balloting
will close. Tuesdays paper will print the
name of the fortunate teacher. and at any
time after she sees her name in The JERSEY
CITY News she can obtain her check by
calling at this office: 1t will be ready for
her SO that she can make her arrangements
to sail q week from today if she SO sees fit.
Today's voting has been productive of many
surprises, chief among them was the ap
pearance of an entirely new candidate with
enough votes to place her well up among
the leaders She is Miss Nellie Kelly of
School Nc. u, and she made her bow to the
other contestants with z, 2,202 votes in her
hand.
The old leaders do not fall behind. Miss
Post keeps right along with 1901 votes to
her credit, which places her again in the
lead with total of 3, 156. Then comes Miss
O'Toole of the Hoboken High School with
1850. Miss Hamill's friends came noblY to
her aid, this morning, with 529 votes, and
now she is well toward the from with 2575
votes. The total number of ballots cast to-
day is 4, 469
MORE SURPRISES COMING.
From rumors which have been flying
about a certain downtown school, Miss
Kelly's candidacy and big vote will not be
the only surprise which will characterize the
last days of the voting. Several small boys
are engaged all day today counting ballots
which will make their appearance at this
office early Monday morning. Those who
are counting them say that there will be
enough to send their candidate to Europe at
the expense of THE NEWS. Miss Kelly's
| friends also declare that they have not
stopped and will be heard from again be-
fore the POLLS close The Hoboken contin-
gent is still at work for Miss OToole, and
has by no means given up the contest. The
young lady is an exceedingly popular teacher
in her city and has 1lany friends who do not
propose to see her defeated.
Already the friends of several of the con-
testants are SO positive that their candidates
will win, that they are considering plars FOR
giving their favorite a proper send off on the
day she sails.
A PLEASANT FEATURE.
One pleasant feature of the contest has
been the many kind expressions of regard
and esteem for the teachers which the Sholars
have written in letters enclosing their ballots
One little fellow writes in letter enclosing
number of ballots for one OF the candi-
dates:-
II hope this will help my teacher along a
little She has been SO very kind to me that
l would like to show her in some way that
| appreciate her kindness"
This is but specimen of the many letters
which are received at this office daily and
show the great regard which the scholars OF
our public schools have for our teachers 1t
should be borne in mind that no ballots re-
ceived after noon of Monday will be counted,
and no time should be lost in getting the
coupons into this Office

on it his most experienced driver. A pilot
engine, with firm, cautious man, well ac-
quainted with the road, precedes the royal

route no fewer than 300 kilograms
are sent from the point heralded her
approach. No train is allowed to
cross the main line for half an
hour before the time fixed for the Queen
to pass; the gates at the level crossings are

and an army of platelayerS are on duty-on
the alert to remove any obstruction from
the line. Her Majesty declines to permit a
