Prof. Drummer Finds That Indiana's Curl
Gus Snowfall Is Vegetable and Mineral.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-Prof. II. l.
Bruner, Of Butler university, has COM
pleted an analysis of the deposit found on
the snow Saturday morning, the samples
examined being taken from number of
places. He says the particles deposited
vary in size from the smallest speck to
33-1O0 of an inch, and some particles are
of even greater size.
The largest are of vegetable origin and
compose about one-third of the samples
examined. The small ones Gre irregular
mineral fragments to great extent lace
Gus. Taere are also numerous ones call
ed animals.
The animals and plants show that the
material is simply dirt picked up by the
wind from the surface of the earth. 1t
is impossible to tell how long the dust
has been in the air. Such dust floats a
long time before it falls; dust may float
for two or three years.

ALLEN SEES A CHANCE

WAsHINToN, Jan. 16.-The senate
gave yesterday to further speeches,
in which the income tax served as a
text for wide range of discussion
on the tariff, the currency and the
Populist platform. Mr.. Hills propo-
sition, made last week, to amend the
deficiency bill so the income tax would
be tested in the courts. has apparent
~ started an inexhaustible flow of
speeches on public affairs in gem
eral. Mr.. Cockrell, in charge of
the deficiency bill, has sought
amendments to the bill that it might
move along to final PASSAGE He
hoped to secure action to-day, but the
speeches of Mr.. Call and Allen made
this impossible. Mr.. Allen took oc-
casion to defend the Populist party
against many charges made in and
out of congress that it was party OF
vagaries. 1t led to a very full dis
cussion of all Populist doctrines and
a comparison of them with the doc
trines of other parties.
Touching and eloquent reference
was made in Chaplain Milburn's open
ing prayer in the senate to the be-
reavement of Senator Hansbrough of
North Dakota in the loss of his wife.
Mr.. Voorhees, from the finance com
mittee favorably reported the bill for
coinage at the branch mint at Denver,

spirits and high wines taken out of
bond during the sixty days prior to
August % last, when the new tariff
law took effect, the names of the
parties or. concerns who took the
goods from bond and all other de-
tailed information concerning the
same. The other resolution calls on
the secretary for full information as
to the amount of sugar imported
during the sixty days prior to August
%, the names of importers, amounts
of imports and country whence it

SEDALIA, Mo-, Jan. 16.-About ten
days ago there was opened in this
city an egg, poultry and butter COM
mission house under the name OF J.

were offered for produce and as a re-
suit country merchants overwhelmed
the new firm with shipments.
The produce was accepted but
it was seldom that the
merchants received the cash in re-
turn. Banks disappeared Saturday.

that he operated at Burr Oak, Kan,
in September, 1894, under the name
of the Kansas Produce company. He
also operated in New York. While
here he made himself conspicuous by
his prayers at reviva1s. 1t is esti-

WITH HIS FAMILY.
A Mans Return After an Absence Of
81 Years.
He Had Enlisted in the Army, But
Never Returned, and Was Mourn
ed as Dead by His Wife and Two
Children-A Sensation at Indiana

Indiana, Pa, September 25.-In 1862
David Hughes, Of Butler county, enlist
ed in Company D, Sixty-second Regi-
ment, Col. Sam Black. At the battle of
Malvern Hill he was wounded and left
on the field. He was afterwards picked
up and taken to the hospital, and when
he had partially recovered he was dis
charged. He came to Kittanning, and
there met and married a young lady,
Margaret Z. Reed. One child, a daugh-
ter. was born TO them. In 1865 there
was another call for troops, and Hughes
enlisted in the United States Artillery.
After his second enlistment his wife
gave birth to 4 son.
In June, 1865. Hughes was discharged
from the army but instead Of coming
home he won't west and located in WIS
eonsin. The wife and children mourned
him as dead They located in this plac0
some eight years ago. The children
grew up TO womanhood and manhood,
and assisted in the support Of their
mother. The daughter IS comely
young lady, and tho son IS conducting
a steam laundry here, and is one of the
most respected young men % the place,
while the mother, who has been known
all these years as Widow Hughes" has
borne the respect Of all who knew her
Last night Mrs Hughes was surprised
by the visit TO her home of a large,
well-prOporti0ned man. who asked for
Mrs. David Hughes. She said that was
her name, and that her husband had
been killed in the army 80 years ago
The stranger said he guessed she was
mistaken. and then told her he was the
husband she had mourned as dead dur
Ing these long years. While he at once
recognized Mrs. Hughes as his wife it
was some little time before she was as
sured that the person addressing her
was really the husband she had mourn
ed as dead But gradually she recog-
n:zed the features of the stranger, and
was overcome with emotion.
The children were called in and in
troduced 10 their father, and he en-
braced them with tender regard. The
son is now nearly 80 years Of age, and
never had been seen by his father
When asked why he had not come
home after his discharge ne said Il was
not necessary now 70 go into particu-
lars; that he was only too happy to be
again with HIS family.
Nearly all Of last night was spent by
husband and wife in recounting the ex-
perienceS of each during their long sep
aration. Mr.. Hughes has accumulated
considerable money and property, and
has not yet determined whether he VIII
locate here with his family or take theni
TO his Western home.
