Washington. Nov. 26 tSpeciaD.-A number OF
Populists are trying TO succeed Mr.. Pritchard as
North Carolna's United States Senator. The Sen
ator thinks he has Populist pledges sufficient with
the Republican plurality TO re-elect him. But Sen
ator Butler cracks his whip. and the majority of
his party hasten to fall into line against the man
they all promised two years ago 10 re-elect If ne
should be the choice Of the Republican caucus. OF
the fact that he is the choice of his party no sort
OF doubt is anywhere suggested. And yet as they
say In the Old Tar State. the woods are fur Of

the Republican leader in the State that he may
not have lost his hold entirely IN his own region.

Attempt 10 Have Mrs. Alt Ineareerated IN
State institution Failed.
An inquiry into the mental condition
OF Mrs. Wilhelmina Alt, OF Bates town
ship. occupied the attention OF Probate
Judge Flewelling on Thursday afternoon
The proceeding was held at the request
OF John Alt, the husband OF the woman.
For the first time during the four years
OF his incumbency Of the Office OF judge ol
probate, Mr.. Flewclliug empanelled n
jury to sit in the case. The first witness
was John Alt. lie stated that his wife
had acted very strangely during the past
year and that OF late she had made re-
peated threats To take her life and the
lives of her two sons, aged. respectively
eleven and seventeen years Questions
propounded by the judge and several
oil the jury men elicited the Tact that Il
Iamily ieud has existed for many
months. In the course Of which Alt has
resorted To the extreme OF leaving the
abode OF his wife. builling for his
exclusive use hut ON an isolated
part OF his homestead. The two
boys remained with their mother
and from time TO time violent quarrels
have occurred between the husband and
vile in regard To the labor of the boys
and the use Of the farm utensils. At
length, the unfortunate woman became
exhausted and developed into a physical
wreck. She is unable TO partake OF food
and as a natural consequence her mind
IL in a very bad condition.
Adam Miller and John Williams, SONS
n-aw OF Alt, also testified. Their YER
sions oi the affair corroborated that OF
Alt, but gave no evidence pointing to
the insanity of the woman. DR.. Darling
testified to having examined Mrs. alt
and that he found no evidences of insan-
ity. The doctor stated that she was in
"A sad condition physically and needed
medicinal treatment and careful nursing
rather than confinement in AN asylum.
DIR. Stanton expressed the same
opinions. Mrs. Alt was present at the
hearing but was removed To the Lock
wood before the finding OF verdict,
owing 10 her pitiable condition. The
jury occupied only II lew moments in
rendering verdict Of sanity.

From a Distance.

Mr.. O'Brien's Political Somersauits Viewed
From a Distance.
The Iron Mountain Press, the recog-
nized mouthpiece OF the Dickinson
county Republican organization, passes
the following comment on the sudden
political somersault OF the Iron County
Reporter:
Here's a state OF affairs The Iron
River Reporter several months ago
placed itself on record as opposed TO
the nomination OF nm Iron county man
Tor representative, asserting that II Mr..
Cook was not candidate for reelection,
Baraga county was iairly entitled 10
name the man. The writer, OF course,
supposed that the Reporter in taking
this stand. was governed solely by a
desire to be lair. But, IL seems, the Re-
porter was opposed 20 the candidacy Of
AN iron county man mt that particular
time for no other reason than the Iron
county candidate happened to be u resi-
dent OF Crystal Falls. The position
since taken by the Reporter in advocat-
ing the nomination OF Mr.. Crippen, OF
Stambaugh, will permit OF no other con-
struction, and the arguments advanced
by our Iron River contemporary against
the Crystal Falls candidate can now be
used with deadly effect against Mr.. Grip
pen. Tie Press learns that the Crystal
Falls candidate against whom the
Reporter hnsicned to array Itspli 80
early Ia the campaign is NJ. II. Moriarty,
one ui the ablest and trucst Republicans
in the upper peninsula. The Reporter,
for rcnsons unknown to the Press, does
not love Mr.. Moriarty, but this inct
should. and probably does not, cut any
congealed water in the other counties OF
the district. In selecting candidate to
represent this important district in the
state legislature, IL IL not likely that in
dividual likes or dislikes will be consid-
cred. The main point Is the general
worth and ability Of the candidates. We
hare not the honor 81 Mr.. Crippcn's nc
quaintance, but his public record il such
ns warrant the assertion that ha would
represent the district in an acceptable
manney, But the inct remains that Mr..
Moriarty would make y better rcprcscn.
tativc, and owing 10 his extensive
acquaintance throughout the state,
wield much greater influence in the
legislature than Mr., Cnppeu, Thon, too,
Mr.. Moriarty is thoroughly posted ns To
the needs Of the district and could be
depended upon to direct legislation In
the way Of amendments TO our tax laws
that would benefit every resident tax
payer in the Dickinson district. The
Press is not committed to the candidacy
81 Mr. MprIqrty, but u our next repre-
sentative is to cone from Iron county,
we shall iayor him as against Mr.. Grip

Barney Mehan's Body Found in Railroad Lake
Thursday Evening.
While fishing in Railroad Lake Thurs
lay evening. John Rnnauist, AN old Fin,
discovered the body Of man, floating
IN the lake, near the North-Western
tracks. Runquist came To Crystal Falls
and communicated the news oi his
CHASTITY find 90 the proper authori-
ties and party was immediately
formed for the purpose oI rcelaiming
tho body. Owing 10 The latencss oi
tlc hour. however, IL was found
impossible to remove the body from
the water that evening, and the
task was accordingly left until yesterday
morning.
sCoroner Aberle empanelled jury and
viewed the remains when they were re-
moved from the water. The body gnve
evidence OF having been in the water
from ten to fifteen days. Decomposi-
tion had set i'm and the features were
terribly distorted. There were several
strange marks about the neck and face
which are believed 10y some To have been
produced 10y other means than drown
ing and one eye was forced out OF it's
socket, hanging down on the check.
Another strange fact in the case is that
the dead mans clothing did not contain
"A single trinkct, OF any value whatever.
wooden shirt and coarse working
trousers, shoes and stockings comprised
his attire. The hip pocket OF his
trousers was partially pulled out.
Not until the coffin was opened at the
Potter's field was the identity Of the
dead man discovered. ht that time
several men, who have been employed
ON the Mansfield contract, recognized
him as Barney Mehan, who has also
been working on the Mansfield job
Mehan left Mansfield on July 8, coming
to Crystal Falls. He was accompanied
by two companions, whose names can
not rs yet be ascertained. He is said TO
have drawn $l5 when he left Mansfield
and no evidence OF his having spent any
money while in Crystal Falls has been
produced. He is said TO have left Crys
tai Falls for Iron Mountain on July 10,
walking down the railroad track, in the
direction Of the lake. A rumor says
that he was accompanied 10y another
man when last seen on the track, but
that statement has not yet been con.
frmcd. There are certain facts con-
nocted with the case which are better
unpublished at this time, from the
standpoint OF expedicncy in the investi-
CATION.
The inquest will he continued this
evening. The high state OF putrfaction

Alehan was about twenty-five years Of
age lie was Il sober and industrious
fellow and nothing eau be learned OF his
character that lends strength TO the
theory OF suicide. lt is said that his
people reside IN the lower peninsula. He
has been employed at Atkinson, Trout
