From Red Point.

Ed. Register This vicinity received
its share of the recent rains. The rain
was long time coming; but when it
did come, it came little too freely.
It not only carried off a great deal OF
the farmers most valuable soil, but
rows of growing corn were reduced to
long barren gullies, in many instances.
The wet weather has kept the plow-
boy out OF the field so long that most
cornfields look pretty '.woolly.'
The wild strawberry crop Is abun-
dant. We have enjoyed several
..square messes" of them. The wild
straw berry is generally smaller than
the cultivated species, but what II
lacks in size, it makes up in richness
of flavor.
Our western mail carrier failed to
make the trip last Friday and Satur-
day on account of high water. It Is
the first time the mail has failed to GO
for several years.

Bids for building the new school
house will be received until the mid
die of June. The building is to be a

We haven't seen any candidates yet.

Well, Mr.. Editor, we heard that de-
bate an .Populism versus the World, "
at the Red Point schoolhouse last Sat-
urday night. The meeting was we'll
attended, there being at least two huns
dred men and half dozen women
present (You will observe that the
new woman is not very numerous In
the s.West End.'D Instead OF having
the debate with two speakers on g
side as was announced. they had two
separate debates Populist idea. l
suppose-most OF the time being con-
sumed by the announced leaders, DR..
Gordan and Prof. Cureton. They oc-
cupied the floor aboat two and one
half hours, the Populist occupying at
least two-thirds of the time in his two
Affirmative speeches. When this dis
cussion ended. Mr.. Barton and Mr..
Bay took the floor for few minutes
each. No attempt was made to rem
der decision. It is natural to sup
pose that each party went home feel
ing that he had vanquished his enemy.

THE HOUSE.

The approach of the final adjournment OF
Congress is indicated by the great pressure
at the opening of each session of the House
for unanimous consent for the passage Of
minor bills. Today fully fifty members
were clamoring for recognition when the
House convened. Several bills were passed
by unanimous consent, including pension
bills, bills to donate condemned cannon to
G. A. r. posts, etc.
Mr.. Picker then demanded the regular
order. This being Friday, the day, under
the rules. was devoted to the consideration
of private bills Some pension bills favor
ably reported upon at the last Friday night
session were first disposed of. Mr.. Loud
(Cal) demanded the ayes and nays on the
bill to pension the widow of Rear Admiral
Donald Mcneil Fairfax at the rate of $50
ger month. He fought the bill in COM
mittee on the general ground of opposition
to large pensions for officers widows. The
ayes and nayes were, however, refused,
and the bill was passed without division.
The House spent almost all the afternoon
discussing bill to retire a hospital stew
ard as a second lieutenant of cavalry.

Mr.. QUAY'S DARK HORSE
Gen. Alger Said to Be the Candidate
Selected.
Antf-McKinley People Greatly Com
forted by the Reports From
Kentucky.

The anti-McKiniey people here derive a
great deal Of comfort from the reports that
Bradley has captured the Kentucky con-
vention. Mckinley's success in the Louis
Vile and Jefferson county primaries pre-
pared them for a Mckinley victory in the
state, and the reported Bradley success in
the state convention comes as d reaction.
They make the most Of it, as a check to
the Mckinley march, and say that there
will be others. Whatever Senator Quay's
private opinion of the situation may lie, he
has been greatly encouraging the anti-Mc-
kinley workers since his return from
Florida by his assurances to them that the
way is clear to McKinley's defeat.
The story was put out last night that the
anti-Mckinley people were going to COM
blne on Quay as their candidate. This
does not excite much interest, for the rea-
son that it is not regarded as a correct
pointer. 1t is said that the combine have a
man In an iron mask whom they intend to
disclose at the proper time in the conven-
ton According to this report Gen. Alger
Is the man. This is said not to be a new
proposition, but one that has been on the
card fer some time.
1t has been understood that the object OF
the combination between Quay and Platt
was originally to secure the nImir ton OF
candidate (no matter wnom) who would
agree to certain things they desire. That
they have no such pledges es are sup
posed to be contemplated in the compact
from any Of the prominent candidates is
probable. 1t is said that the chief object
in selecting Alger is to get some one who
does Tot appear among the favorite sons
and whose support would be drawn from
the Mckinley forces. They want to take
their men nCminally from the MCKINLEY
side. and the calculation is said 70 be tha,
II the New York and Pennsylvania dele
cations make sudden turn and vote for
Alger the Michigan delegates will be COM
PEELED to follow their lead, thus making a
break in the Mckinley column.
This is given as one of the many stories
that are being circulated

LONDON, April IAN important arrest
was made on Bond street yesterday VIM.
Dunlap, described as a valet, and VIM.
Turner, said to be a foot4nan, were taken
into custody by the police. They stated
that they left the employ Of a gentleman
in New York recently. In DurAaps pocket
the police found diamonds valued at $4,000,
believed to have been stolen, and a search
Of the room occupied by the couple re-
vealed them to be in the possession Of
bracelets, tiaras, scarf pins set with dia-
monds, and emeralds and other jewelry, es-
timated to be worth $4,000
There is no doubt that these are the
men who robbed the house of I. Townsend
Burden of New York, in December last, of
jewelry to the value of about 100000. They
were formerly servants in Mr.. Burdens
employ. The officials Of the United States
embassy have cabled Secretary Olney to
this effect and have asked for extradition
papers.
Police Inspector Froest, who made the
arrests, said to a representative Of the
Associated Press today: II merely arrest
ed the men on suspicion. They looked
overdressed, and when their room was
searched 1 recognized the Jewels, particu-
larly a large emerald, from a description

The Mercury Marks Over Ninety De-
grees In the Shade.
Maybe 1t will not be readily believed, but
nevertheless the folks out in Dakota and
Montana are wearing overcoats and snug
CLING up to blazing fires this afternoon.
This statement is made on the authority
of the weather bureau, which announces
that the mercury Is as low as degrees
above zero in the northwest at present.
That sort of thing may be very Interesting
to think about, but the local situation is
demanding the most attention.
This Is the fifth day of the present warm
spell, which has fractured every known
record in the possession of the weather bu-
reau by from one to eight degrees for the
second ten days of April. Ninety-two was
registered here this afternoon, and it is
worthy Of comment that frivolous remarks
were not made about those persons who
appeared on the streets with straw hats
But there Is a promise of better things,
cooler weather being predicted by tomor-
row night or Sunday.

Representative Dingley Of Maine was yes

equivalent to election. He is one of the
best informed and useful men the House
has counted in its membership for many
years. In this Congress he is the official
leader of the majority. He has long been
the actual leader in council, but he has
never sought the reward Of his ability
through official designation. He is author

has had more than any other man in the
House to do with the republican tariff leg

in Cuba has been confined to proselyiiny
for the church, and deny participation in
the rebellion on his part The message
from Consul General Williams contained
no details. The case will be closely fol-
lowed up by the representatives of the
United States. who will take the customary
steps to protect the interests of an Ameri-
can citizen The consul general will insist
on civil trial should the matter go to the
length of trial. 1t may be that his re-
lease can be obtained without the necessity
OF a trial. but on this point nothing can be
sad In advance of an investigation whic h

The Georgia members of Congress were
deeply interested in the news from Havana
by the Associated Press Of the arrest Of

are sending out great quantities of litera-
ture on the subject. In only a few locali-

cial literature. Letters from all parts of
the country say that the people demand
protection. He referred to a letter received
from the local representative of the league
in West Virginia, asking for all the tariff
literature that could be sent and stating
that they wanted nothing on finance or

received. The league is making a canvass
