MARCUS WHITMAN.

No one in the history of the northl
west has such national reputation as
DIR. Marcus Whitman, who was killed
by the Indians in the Wailatpu mas
| sacfe in 1847. He was one of the pio-
neers of the North Pacific, and his
actions were stimulated by that patri-
otism which leads one to unselfishly
consider the welfare of country above
everything else. This region was little
known in the east at the time Rev. Mr..
Whitman established his missionary
station near Walla Walla; but he fully
understood its Importance to the union,
and made his perilous ride to Washing
ton City to represent this to the au-
thorities. He succeeded in saving
Oregon to the American flag, and for
this he is honored all over the nation.
Perhaps no other city has taken such
an interest in Whitman as Chicago,
and last Sunday was devoted to his
memory by the Congregational
churches of that place. This is what
the Inter Ocean says of the OCCASION:
"Nearly forty-eight years have
elapsed since Marcus Whitman was
buried in that neglected grave in
Washington. If, amid the perils and
labors of his hard life. the old hero
could have glanced down the years and
listened to the story of his patriotism
as recited yesterday, it would have
been cheering. Forty-five clergymen
in Chicago and its immediate suburbs,
and half as many more within radius
of three hundred miles, preached yes
terday on ''Christian Patriotism" and |
illustrated it in its highest and best |
sense by the life of pr. Marcus Whit
man. 1t was a noble, beautiful tribute |
to one of the most modest and unselfsh
patriots, who offered his life for his |
flag and his country.
''The study of Whitman history is
just beginning. The wrong is that it
has been neglected so long. The more
it is read and known, the more he will
have defenders from the calumnies of |
modern skeptics. Christianity and
patriotism go hand in hand, and Whit
man is as fine an illustration as can be
found on the pages of any history. A
number of the sermons of yesterday
are reported in part in this. ISSUE

A wELL-oReAN1zED GANG.
Nebraska and South Dakota Infested With
Cattle-Rustlers.

CHICAGO, July ia dispatch from
Chamberlain, S. D., says: A lawless
state of affairs exist in the northern
part of Nebraska and the adjacent ter
ritory in South Dakota, and only the
most vigorous measures on the part of
the authorities will remedy many of
the evils existing.
For years the country between Ly-
man county, directly west of here, and
Holt and Keyapaha counties, Neb.,
has been infested by what appears to
be an organized gang of cattle and
horse thieves. Enough has been
learned to make it certainty that
this band has rendezvous at various
points through the so or go miles Of
territory where it Operates. Cattle
and horses that stray toward White
river disappear with great regularity,
as also do cattle and horses belonging
to farmers and stockmen residing
throughout that portion of South
Dakota. This leads to the conclusion
that the thieves take stock stolen from
South Dakota farmers and ranchers
and dispose of them to the settlers of
Nebraska.
Certain residents of the infested
regions who have no visible means Of
support are suspected Of being in
league with the thieves, but no posi-
tive evidence has as yet been secured
against them.

POLITICAL THERAPEUTICS.

Senator David B. Hill of New York
is Democrat, and very hopeful one
too. In the exuberance of his Joy he
has uttered a prophecy that the Demo-
cracy will be successful in 1896, and
this will unquestionably furnish a
crumb of comfort to the disconsolate.
1t is not necessary to know upon what
the senator bases his hopes, for he has
said it and will undoubtedly substanti-
ate his assertion until the ballots are
counted in November of next year.
Mr.. Hill is a Democrat of Democrats
has been one for long number of
years, and will continue to be one un-
til the final summons come "to join that
innumerable caravan" etc., when, it is
presumed, he will join Democratic
angel band who will parade the golden
streets of the new Jerusalem with
their harps tuned to Democratic halle
lujah songs. He is the doctor on this
occasion, and has very sick patient.
To prolong life it is necessary to in.
still hope and courage into the invalid,
and he whispers consoling words into
the ear of his patient. He has made
diagnosis of the disease, and it will
require constant and heroic treatment
to bring the sick man to health.
Aside from local disorder there are
constitutional diseases, and the system
is so weakened that there is little
chance for recuperation. In 1892 there
was period of healthful activity; but
soon there happened signs of inherent |
weakness, and now, after two years of
contact with the adverse winds of
national administration, there is
hardly anything left but a feshless
skeleton. It still breathes and moves,
and if it can be made to have hope of |
success it may yet recuperate. Hill
has strong personality ,and if anyone
can infuse life into Democracy he is
equal to the task. Time will tell the
effects of this soothing dose; but the
system must be thoroughly built up
before any therapheutical treatment
will have beneficial results. Perhaps,
Hill will consult with Cleveland,
their combined wisdom might be sue
cessful in bringing the patient on his
feet again; but after 1896, it is expected
Democracy will be confirmed in
valid,

The Yacht Capsized.

CHICAGO, July yesterday after.
noon Allen Fowler, prominent
young attorney, started for sail with
his yacht B0are1y, taking with him
Miss Emma Gibson, and James Dalton
and servant. About 1890 near Lin
coin Park, a gust caught the yacht
and it capsized. Miss Gibson, who
was swept clean off the deck was res
cued by Mr.. Fowler, and the four, by
the aid of ropes and spars. succeeded
in clinging to the overturned hull.
They shouted for help until their
voices failed. Chilled and almost help
less, they drifted within sight of the
park until returning daylight revealed
their plight to fishermen, who rescued
them. So exhauted were they that
they were unable to tell their names.
They were taken to the hospital, where
all revived. Miss Gibson is in criti-
cal condition. but her recovery is ex-
pected.

Eseta Laying Plans.

SAN FRANCISCO, July General
Ezeta and his followers are said to be
nearly ready for their attack upon
Salvador. For some time there has
been lack of funds in the war chest
of the exiles, but it is reported that to-
day he received large sum of money,
and that in a short time the balance Of
what is needed will be supplied. Ezeta
is said to be negotiating for sealing
or whaling vessel. which will take on
board at one of the islands in the Santa
Barbara channel arms and ammu-

enlist in his cause about Is Americans,
upon whose bravery and fighting quail

THE CONVENTION AT DENVER.
Second Days Session of the Teachers
Association,

Association.
DENVER, July l0.-The subject of
the papers read this forenoon at the
convention of the National Educational
Association was "Co-Ordination of
Studies in Elementary Education. :"
The largest church in the city was not
large enough to hold all the teachers
who came out in the rain to attend.
Charles Degarmo, of Swarthmore
college, Swarthmore, Pa, read pa
per on principles Upon Which CO.
Ordination Should Proceed" He
showed that correlation between the
parts of each subject should first be
sought, then established between diff
ferent studies. William s. Jackson,
of the Cook coanty normal school,
Chicago, read a paper on What Has
Been Accomplished in Nature Study
in Correlation" He maintained
nature study has introduced making,
modelling and painting into schools
and rationalized the methods of teach
ing other branches, yet its relations to
other studies is little understood.
DR.. Charles A. McMurray, of Nor
NAL, ILL.,, read paper on "What Has
Been Accomplished in Cooperation
in Field History and Literature" The
effort, he said, to coordinate those
studies with others has brought out
their qualities as culture forces.
Combined, two studies are far more
potent for good than when separated.
History, geography, natural science
and language are like strands of rope. 1

Horrible Crime.

A Michigan Wretch Forced to Confess to
a Horrible Crime.
CHICAGO, July "a dispatch from
Morenci, Mich, says: Chester Strong,
hostler employed by physician. has
been enticing little girls into the
DOCTORS barn for improper purposes.
The better element of. the town de-
cided Strong must leave, and told him
so, but he refused to go.
A band of masked men, with white
caps on their heads, about midnight,
took Strong into the woods. They
accused him of the crime which he de-
MED. One end of rope was thrown
over a stout limb, and the running
moose was put around his neck. A
score OF strong hands dragged him up.
When he was about dead they let him
down and told him to confess. A
second time he declared himself inno-
cent, and up he went again. When
they let him down this time they told
him that he would either confess or be
hanged for good, and he weakened
and confessed. Then the captors un-
bound him and gave him 20 minutes
to leave town. They took up collec-
tion which amoun.e ed to few dollars,
gave it to him, and ordered him to de-
Dart, and he disappeared, accompanied
by shower OF bullets.

Crazed by Confinement.

SEATTLE, July 9.-Servius Rutten,
who has been in Jail for over a year
and half, pending an appeal from a
conviction of murder in the first degree
in killing William Fletcher at Chico,
has been driven crazy by his confine-
ment. He imagines his fellow-pris-
oners are plotting to kill him and the
jailer. Through some blunder.
sentence has never been passed on
him, and his notice of appeal has not
been given. He is one of the prisoners
who escaped with Blanck last March
and was recaptured.

4 FIENDISH MURDER.
The Victims Daughter and Grandson
Under Arrest.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 9.-Mrs.
Levi Pierce, aged 80, who lived at
Berlin, Ottawa county, was murdered
yesterday. Her daughter, May Pierce,
aged 13, and her grandson, George
Kessbro. aged 13, are in jail at Grand
Haven awaiting examination.
Mr.. Pierce went to the field to work
as usual, leaving his wife and two
children at home, About 10 o'clock
May came running to him across the
field, crying, Mamma is dead
Pierce ran to the house and found
his wife dead in the kitchen. Her
chin was gashed, tooth knocked out,
and her neck black and bruised as if
she had been choked to death. There
were evidences of terrible struggle.
At the inquest, owing to contradic-
tory stories told by George Kessbro,
and his evident desire to avert sus-
picion from himself and turn it toward
amythical tramp, Kessbro was arrested.
1t is believed Kessbro did the killing,
and the little girl knows all about it,
and perhaps assisted.

whose place had been raided, he be-
lieved, at the instigation of Sam.
Other rioters were the followers Of
these two leaders. My Cow has not
yet been caught.

Utterances Of Lord Salisbury in a Recent
Speech Pain Him Very Much.
BRIGHTON, Eng, Nov. 21.-Lord Sal
isbury, the prime minister, addressing
the annual conference Of the National
Union Of Conservative Associations
here, said among other things:
ALLOW me to say a word in answer
to a very distinguish ed correspondent,
if 1 may term him 80, who requested
me to make a statement in a speech to
the country. This correspondent is no
less a person than the sultan Of Turkey.
Nothing would have induced me to
read this august message here except
the distinct commands of the sender.
In that speech at the guild hall on the
occasion Of the lord mayors day dinner
I expressed the opinion that / had little
confidence that the reforms promised
for the Turkish empire would be car
ried into execution. The sultan sends
me a message saying that this statement
Has Panied Him Very Much,
as the carrying out Of these reforms is a
matter already decided upon by him,
and, further, that he is DESTROYS Of ex-
ecuting them as soon as possible. He
then. proceeds: i have already told
my ministers this, and SO the only rea-
son why Lord Salisbury should thus
throw doubts on my good intentions
must be due to the intrigues Of certain
persons here, or else false state
ments must have been made to
cause Such an Oninion.' The
message then proceeds after some
intermediary observations. 4 repeat, 1
will execute these reforms. I will take
the papers containing them and see my
self that every article is put in force.
This is my earnest determination, and I
give my word of honor. I wish Lord
Salisbury to know this, and 1 desire
that his lordship, having confidence in
these declarations, will make another
speech by virtue Of the friendly feeling
and disposition he has for me and my
country"

A Yankton correspondent gives the
following piece of political. gossip. Sen
ator Pettigrew has been promised the
senate committee on Indian affairs and
will appoint a Yankton man as mis- secre-
tary. In fact, the appointment has al
ready been made.
Whatever Pettigrew's motive may be
in talking SO continuously for G. X.
DAVIS for the presidency, it is clearly ap-
parent that his remarks are made with
the full knowledge Of the opposition
there is In the state to Davis. South
Dakota has on more han one occasion
shown a decided preference for Allison
or Harrison. Senator Pettigrew cannot,
1T is said, suppose that he will have much
to say in the choice OF a candidate by
the delegates to the national convention
from this state. Four years ago the
delegates to the Minneapolis convention
were instructed for Harrison, although
this proposition was vigorously op-
posed by Pettigrew.
The inference that the Scandinavian
element OF the republican party in this
state has demanded a good place on the
state ticket is strongly denied by a
number Of prominent politicians of that
%pationality,
