For years Bismuth has been the lie

a very tender place on the frog OF his

One lobe of his whiskers is gone, and

CHAPTER u.-SUSPENSE.

By the old sun-dial, with the bee
hives clustering round it under the
shelter Of a low privet fence, stood two
military-looking men, with grizzled
moustaches, aud bronzed faces, one Of
the two tall, thin, and stiff, the other
shorter, rOunder, and not quite so up
right. The latter was my father. Ma
jor Haywood, the owner OF CronEvash
and of considerable property round
about; the latter was Captain Willmott,
the father of the man | had murdered.
They had caught sihht of me before
I had noticed them, and through a
breach in the wall of the tower they
could see me still. Ny father was
beckoninE. With a dread which drove
out every other feeling, l stumbled
down the broken steps and advanced
towards them.
What has become OF Henry, do you
know?" demanded CAPTAIN WilmOtt.
He fired the question at me like
bullet, and If a bullet really had whist

startled me more. At first l did not
know what to say, but l remembered
Cain, the first murderer, and answered
much as he had done.
why do you ask me, Captain Will

son?"
His brows contracted. He looked at
me sternly in silence.

The act was no sooner committed
than repented Of. As compared with
the uncertainty awaiting me, with all
its unknown terrors, life on any terms
seemed precious beyond the power OF
words to tell. 1 fought for it with
might and main, with hands and teeth,
clinglng frantically to the bedpost as II
that would save me. But excruciating
agonies seized upon me, and rendered
breathing almost impossible; my strug-
giles grew weaker; the earth appeared
to be dropping away from beneath me;
then followed a calm, stiffness so in

CHIEFS OF DIVISIONS.
Said Their Positions Will Soon Be Put in
tie Civil Service List.


WASHINGTON, Nov. THE intima-
ton given by the civil service commits
sion i'll announcing the recent extern
sions in the civil service, by the presi-
dent, that further extensions were to
be early made has been discussed i'll
the departments and among officials
who know, and it is said the next ex-
tension will include chiefs of divisions
II the various departments, which
would be very important move. The
salaries paid to these officers are So, 900
each. They have always been held as
political plums for the smaller poll
ticians who seek Office i'll Washington,
aud it is claimed that oftentimes they
are appointed without any fitness
whatever for the positions they
hold. In many cases the assistant
chiefs do all the business of division
during al entire administration. Some
times it has been suggested that these
assistants be promoted, but they gener-
ally decline because they fear new
administration might dispense with
them, and they would be out of posi-
ton. If the civil service system should
be extended to chiefs of divisions, it
will certainly be of great Importance to
the service and accomplish what the
commission has long contended for.

SUGAR.

United States Investor: Sugar will
be at it's lowest when congress meets,
and at its highest when it adjpurns. +"
This statement was made this week by
a person conversant with the sugar
trade, and a strong believer in the
American Sugar Refining Go. The
same person claims that the trust is
making handsome profit on It's pre-
sent business The granulated which
it is at present selling was made from
raw sugar costing from q to y cents a
pound. IT much of the raw material
was purchased at the latter figure it is
obvious that there can be little profit
to the trust with granulated at the pre-.
sent prices. 1t is claimed, however.
that the raw averaged about b cents
Granting margin of approximately o1
a cent between the raw and the refined
the profits of the trust would be fal
from small. The impending session Of
congress is probably having more thar
anything else to do with the low price
of sugar stock. The fear OF further leg
islatIon is one factor in the situation
and possibly another is that the pro
misses which the sugar magnates helo
out to cetain senators early this yeal
were not confined to the last session O.

Death of Alexander and Accession of
Nicholas Officially Proclaimed.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. Sat 9 a. m.
the imperial heraids in brilliant uni
forms, attended by troop of trumpe-
ters, announced the death of Alexan-
der Ill and the accession to the throne
of Russia OF Nicholas II. The two
heralds with their escorts, traversed all
the principal streets of the city and
after the trumpeters had delivered
three ringing blasts upon their trum-
pets, they made public the proclamation
Of Emperor Nicholas IL, which has
already been cabled to the Associated
Press. Throughout st. Petersburg the
accession Of the new czar is being cele-
brated as festival, for this event takes
precedence of the mourning cere-
monies. The Russian newspapers,
therefore, appeared without black bor-
ders and all signs Of public mourning
will be withheld until morning.
At 10 o'clock p. m. the first requiem
mass for the repose of the soul of Alex
ander III was celebrated in st. Peters
burg and all the ministers and men,
bers of the council Of the empire were
present. When the service was over
all those i'll attendance took the oath Of
allegience to Gar Nicholas II and to
the heir presu1nptiye, the czarewitch.
Grand Duke George, brother of the
czar. During the morning the senate
met in plenary session and all its mem.
bers took the oath Of allegiance. AT
the same time, all the troops forming
the garrison Of st. Petersburg were pa.
raded in full uniform with their colors,
and swords worn with the customary
formality. Later the same ceremony
was observed in the case of the civil
servants of the place.

Two Lost Life at the Burning Of
Hammond Packing House az

OMAHA, Nov. 3.-Just as the men
We're going to work in the big beef
house OF the Hammond packing plant
at South Omaha, at a. m, flames
were discovered in the second story and
quickly spread to the third and fourth
Hoors. AS soon as the fire was discov.
cred, the private fire department of the
Hammonds started to fight the flames,
but it was discovered that the pressure
was so light that it was impossible to
accomplish anything. Word was at
once sent to Omaha and all the avail
able apparatus was hurried to the scene
for, as high wind prevailed, the fire
threatened to spread to the houses of
Swift & Co., and to the stock yards.
ALI the efforts of the firemen We're con-
fined to keeping the fire from spreadin ,
as there was no possible show of savir z
the big beef house, a 4-story structure,
2O0x200 feet, which originally cost
5000, 1000 and was filled with valuable
machinery and a large amount of beef.
Buried Under Tons of Timber.
The efforts Of the firemen to confine
the flames to this house proved success
full, but only at the cost of two lives
At II o'clock one of the walls Of the
burning building fell, and wofremer
belonging to the private department. Of
the packing company were buried un

Immediately after the wall fell, efforts
at recoveting the bodies Of the two mel

CHICAGO, Nov 1.-THE election was
enlivened by large number Of polling
place fights and brawls and many an
rests resulted. The only indication Of
serious trouble. however, was at the
town of Lamont, on the drainage canal.
Through a clerical error, an insufficient
number Of ballots We're sent to the
place and the canal laborers, angered at
the oversight, gathered i'll a disorderly
crowd and announced that they in
tended to vote whether they had bal
lots or not. Sixty deputy sheriffs We're
sent to the scene, and it was thought
the force would be sufficient to quell
the disturbance.
1t was generally believed that the
Populist vote in the city would not ex-
ceed 5000. The town of Pullman was
thought to have been carried by the
Peoples party, and the vote in the
stockyards and railroad quarters was
large, but outside Of the Populists'
strongholds, the vote was thought to be
far short OF the party leaders claims.
At Populist headquarters at o'clock
however, it was claimed that the vote
would reach 100000.

ONLY One Recommendation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The sole rec
ommendation contained in the annual
report Of Commissary General John P.
Howkens, which is otherwise made up
entirely of financial statements. is that
the revised statutes be amended SO as to
require private soldiers as do officers, to
pay in cash for such supplies as they
may wish to draw. AS payments
are now made to the men with
regularity, it would seem to be no hard
ship to request them to do this. Under
the present credit system, the moral ef-
feet is injurious and the government is
put to considerable extra expense in
keepiug accounts.

We do not believe it good policy
to dispair Of wheat raising because the
price is low this year. Farmers should
raise some wheat every year. The
chances are in favor OF good crop
next year, and the price does not affect
its d-producing qualities for the
farmers own use. The next time the
price changes it will go higher. Raise
