COsti::ln Is SanslbaGGcI.

West Union, Iowa, March Z. - Dan
Costigan, student of the Upper Iowa
University at Fayette, was sandbagged
and dragged to field four miles from
town last night. He was one Of the con-
testants at the oratorical contest held
last evening, and was struck while on his
way to the hall. His whereabouts was
unknown until about midnight, when his
roommate was awakened by noise at
the door and found Costigan, with his
face bruised and bleeding and his clothes
covered with mud and slime. He could
give no explanation, except that he had
been struck and knew no more until he
awol1e in the field. The only clue thus
far is the circumstance Of Il Fayette boy
having made a bet that Costigan would
not be at the contest. The matter viii
be investigated.

Claims Not Allowed.

Washington, March 6.-The court of
claims has rendered a decision in the
claim of Charles II. Armstrong and 15S
others for $75,50S. The decision was
against the claimants. 1t appears from
the record in the case that the claim was
for expenses incurred and paid for
services and labor furnished in 1863 in
fortifying the city of Pittsburg. Pa,
az; list the threatened attack of Gen.
Lees army on it's Gettysburg campaign.
1t is alleged by claimant that labor w;s
furnished at that time at the urgent re-
quest of Gen. Brook, who was then in
command of the department of the Mo-
nongahela, and that full compensation
was promised by him.

Robbed, OH bv Bandit.,.,

St. Louis, March 7--The Mobile, &
Ohio train. which, left here at S:35, last
night was heidi up; by three robbers, at
Forest Lawn, Ill.,. about four miles from
East ST. Eonis:. This is the third time
within the past, six months that this road
has suffered, from robbers at this point.
1t is thought; last nights hold-up was
perpetrated by members of the same gang
which committed the other robberies. It
cannot be ascertained. what the robbers
obtained, butt iti is, not thought the haul
amounted to, much. The Southern Ex-
press company, which. Suffered heavily
by the previous robberies, had become
cautious, and since the last one has not
made any heavy shipments on this train.
Mr.. Frazier, in charge Of the Southern
Express company's> s. Office at Twelfth and
Poplar streets, stated. to an Associated
Press representative that the agent ON
the express car of the robbed train was
q new man. named Franklin. ''The
train," said he, (which leaves st. Louis
at S:35 rarely: ever,. so far as / know,
carries any great amount of valuables.
There are two through safes in the car
which are provided with combination
locks, in which all Valuables are kept
These safes are not under my charge
and / know nothing of their contents
1t is later reported that the men were
frightened away before they secured any
thing.

Can Sell Water.

Aberdeen, s. D., March IA few days
ago George M. Tweed, living just out
side the city limits, was arrested for
selling water in the city from his ar
tesian we'll, the authorities evidently
bound to compel citizens to purchase
water from the city artesian wells, which
is, from it's muddy nature, wholly unfit
for domestic use. Weed was to-day
brought before Judge Campbell, of the
district court, on writ of habeas
corpus and discharged, the court holding
the ordinance to be unconstitutional.

!. An Election I'm iowa,

Des Moines, March 6.Nlhnicipal cleo
tsens were held in number of cities
Throughout Iowa yesterday. The wealth
er all over the state was extremely dis
agreeable, and in most places the vote
was li:~ht. The Republicans made gains
in several cities that have been steadily
Republican, and in some others gained
slightly in councilmen. Their largest gain
was in Iowa City, where they carried
every ward but one. IA
In: Cedar Rapids there was spirited
contest, resulting in victory for the
democrats, they re-electing their mayor
by $40 majority, and selecting all the
other city officers save the treasurer.
The council stands four Republicans and
four Democrats. ..-.
At Muscatine the Democrats elected
the. mayor and two of the four city Of
fcers. They also secured two of the
four aldermen.
At Burlington, as the result of Dem
ocratic split, Eugene Butts, Republican,
was elected mayor, and the Republicans
also secured three aldermen. Butts is
the first Republican mayor since 1886.
In the places heard from prohibition, or,
rather, the question of modifying the
prese Mt law, does not seem to have
played any part. Several points are yet
to be heard from, however.
Des Moines and some other cities with
| special charters held no election.
i Portland, Me-, March g. - Municipa.
/ elections were held in Maine yesterday
and resulted generally in, favor Of the
| Republicans.

Secretary Gresham and Capt Evans ar
rived at the wharf here yesterday after
noon on their return home from their
cunning trip in North Carolina. The
president locked remarkably we'll and Wig
orous, as did the other members of the

lot of the sportsmen, for there was a
large collection Of wild swan, geese and
ducks ON the Violet's, deck. Private
Secretary Thurber met the party and the
president was driven direct to the White
House.

ed against the presidents of the rival SEN

Huron Ladies on IL Crusade.

Huron, S. D., March 7.-Mayor Meyers
was called in by delegation of ladies
last evening and asked to abate several
club rooms, blind pigs and bawdy houses,
but the ladies received no evidence that
their request would be complied with.
The mayor appeared stubborn and in
corrigible, and the ladies became very in
dignant. At a largely attended gospel
meeting in the Methodist church later
Mrs. Simmons, one of the ladies who
called on the mayor, told of their visit,
mich created much feeling, and :xpres-
sions of indignation were heard in every
part of the house.

Bad for LOEEcrS.

Eau Claire, Wis.,, March 6. - Mild
ttnpe rature, accompanied by copious
showers, has threatened the logging in
te1ests seriously. Reports indicate that
in many localities in the logging regions
the roads have commenced to 90 to
pieces, but that there is no likelihood of
a general breaking up just yet. Op-
orators generally will hold on until the
last minute, hoping for another cold snap,
as to quit now would entail heavy loss
to many. The Northwestern Lumber
ccmpany's camps on the Eau Claire have
broken up and 200 or 800 men came
down on the Wisconsin Central and
Omaha roads from the Chippewa pineries
to-day.

STUMBLING ON SUGAR
THE SENATE COMMITTEE I4ADORS
WITH THE TARIFF BILL.
All Points of Difference Have Been
Settled With the Exception Of
SuEar-TuE of War Between the
Growers and the Refiners.

Washington, March 6. - The Wilson
tariff bill has been the subject OF an
earnest consultation among the senators
t. day. 1t has reachedaa a certain stage
Of completeness, and yet may be thrown
out of gear by single article. That
article is sugar, and it was generally un-
lerstood that if definite agreement
could be reached on this article it would
then be possible to agree upon everything
else, and that the bill could be reported
without delay. 1t is understood that by
mutual concessions and frequent con-
sultations the demands made by those
Democratic senators who opposed the
bill in the form in which it was first pre-
sented have been met and tentatively
agreed upon; but even these agreements
are subject to the approval Of the treas
| ury department and the needs OF the gov
; ernment in the matter Of revenue. Sec
retary Carlisle has been with the mem
bers of the committee most of the day to
discuss and compare changes, but, while
these concessions have been made and
| the members of the finance cor lnlttee
:nd the objecting senators have found
middle ground, there yet remains the
stter of sugar, and the difficulties sur
rounding an agreement upon this are the
greatest that the tariff makers have to
contend with. The Louisiana senators
have one plan which does not meet with
favor by the refners. The plan of the
refners is Objectionable to the Louisiana
senators. A suggestion has been made
that an ad valoren tax be laid, and the
reiners say this would afford them no
protection. Some senators, looking to-
ward concession, have said that If an ad
valorem rate is not just to refiners, a
differential be made in their favar. This
is stubbornly resisted by those who
claim that an ad valorem rate would at
! ford them just protection, as the high
er price of the refined sugar would neces
state greater tax when imported thar
the raw sugars. 1t appears also that the
proposition for an increased tax or
whisky is mixed up with the proposed
duty On sugar. If the latter is agreed
to, the necessity for an increased whisk,
tax disappears.' For this reason thos'
. who have been insisting upon increases
in the whisky tax are not favorable to :
sugar tax.

His Death BED Story.

West Union, Iowa, March 1.-The de-
tails of horrible murder have just come
to light through the death-bed confess

der: He then procured a shotgun. and

tumbled a lot Of rocks upon the body
and left the place. The following day
he returned and hoisted the body out by
means of q horse and rope and dragged
it to, an obscure part of the farm and
buried it. This was four years ago.

had gone South and was caught stealing
horses and was hung, and confirmed the
rumor when approached on the subject.

having been known to drag his aged,
sickly aunt from her bed just to hear

New York Elections.

NEW Ork, AarCl line electlOn re-
burns from the various counties of the
state show decided Republican gains.
They have made gains i'll some districts
that the Democrats held to be essentially
their own.
In Geneva the Republicans made q
clean sweep. Every candidate Was elect
ed by an overwhelming majority. In
Rochester the Republicans are jubilant
over the outcome of the election, the
candidate for mayor having been elected
by majority of probably 5000. In
Little Falls not single Democrat was
elected. Every town in Wayne county
shows Republican gains. In Glo1ers-
vile the board of aldermen is entirely
Republican. The returns from Rock
land, Washington, Essex, Clinton and
Greene counties all show that the Re
publicans have either held their own or
made large gains. Lansingburg elected
the entire Republican ticket by over
1000 majority. Last week the Demo
cratic majority was 565.
In Troy the regular Democratic ticket
was elected.
Saratoga county went Republican by
increased majorities. In Ithaca the Re-
publicans gained a decided victory.
In Usage the Eght was between Cleve-
land, Hill and Platt, and anti-Platt Dem
ocrats and Republicans. The returns in
the mayoralty fight are so badly mixed
that an official count will be necessary
to decide as to the winning candidate.
The ant-Platt Republicans elect four al
dermen against two each for the Cleve-
land Democrats and Platt Republicans.
In the new board of supervisors the anti
Tlatt Republicans will have majority
Of at least four. The new Duchess coun-
ty board of supervisors will have a Re
pt blican najority of thirteen. Last year
the Democrats elected fourteen super
visors. This year they have electd only
seven.
The returns show noteworthy Demo
cratic victory. This was in the town of
Albion, where they elected all their can
didates with the exception of one who
was running for police justice. The ma
jorities given were large.
