A MINERS ROW.
A Conflict Likely to Ensue Over the Possession of the Bismarck
 Mine.


 IDAHO S1fINGs, Col, April 22.- Great excitement prevails here over the possession of the Bismarck mine and it appears as if there will be a pitched battle over the possession of the property in the next twenty four hours. Those of the interested parties seen refuse to talk, but it is said that an organized effort will be made to regain possession of the property. The difficulties originated almost six months ago when Beers Brothers, of New York City, failed to meet their mining obligations. The wages of the miners were in arrears and an attachment was made against the property to secure debt Moaning < Bailey, an ore buying concern of this city and Dem yer, who held a claim against Beers Brothers, paid off the attachment and took charge of the mine and have since been operating it. In the past month a big strike of min eral was made. It was claimed by the friends of the Beers Brothers that Manning & Bailey long ago paid off it's indebtedness. Last week Beers Brothers offered to pay that firm any balance due them. Atfrst this seemed agreeable and the Beers people were given possession of the property, but Monday night Man ming < Bailey took forcible posses sion, threatening any one who at tempted to eject them from it. No legal action has been taken as yet and neither side seems to favor such an action, as they claim the law will be too slow.
 The mine is one of the most prom inent mines in this country. The average value of the ore is now $S0 per ton.

DELEGATIONS TO BE CONNECTED BY WIRE WITH THE CHAIR MAN OF THE REPUBLl-
 CAN CONVENTION.
The Western Union Putting in Six New Wires in Order to Give quicker Service to the Outside
 World.

ST. Lotus, April 22-When the National Republican Convention meets in this city on June 16 to nom- mate a President and Vice President Of the United States, the delegates will witness an innovation il the handling of big conventions. It is a scheme proposed by the Bell Tele- phone Company through it's local manager, George F. Durant. The proposition is something entirely new and original. Although it has not yet gone before the sub-eommit- tee having charge of the convention arrangements, it is said to be practi- caIly assured that it will be adopted. 1t is to connect the various State delegations with the Speakers desk by telephone, so that the Chairman may know the name of every man who is recognized and thus be en- abled to announce his name to the convention.
 The telephone scheme,it is claimed,
 
 will do away with the annoyance and loss of time that has so long been source of worry to the mana gers of National conventions. Tie detail of the plan proposed does not differ from the system of room to room telephoning in the large hotels.
 The other arrangements for giving the news to the outside world by telegraph will be the finest and most complete ever attempted at a National convention. In order to be able to handle the great mass of bus mess, the Western Union is stringing six new copper wires from St. Louis to Chicago and four from here to New York.

OUT OF THEIR BANKS.
The Menominee and Fence Rivers
 0verfowing Hi nois.

MENoMINEE, Ills, April p. The Menominee and Fence rivers are out of their banks and the floods are causing heavy losses 10 logging in terests. The logging camp of Isaac Monroe, on Fence River, has been flooded, caused by log jam, and the employees barely escaped. The camp, with equipment and provis- ions, was swept away. Many farm CTS in the Menominee valley have been driven from home and have suffered great loss in stock and crops. One hundred men are guard ing the log booms at various points on the river. The backwater in this city has driven sewerage into the city water mains and fifty cases of typhoid fever have resulted. The water is still rising and the losses will continue to be heavy.

since in honor of the South's late lamented champion, Henry w. Grady, is the leading organization ! of the University. Early in the session the Grady proposed debate with the students of the University of Missouri (at Columbia) suggest ing the financial problem as a fit theme for display of wit and oratorg, and at the same time mani l festing an unmistakable preference for the white metal. The daring Missourians quickly took the hint, and accepted the challenge, proudly espoused the gold cause.
 The conditions of the debate were soon agreed upon and are as follows: The debate will be public, and will be held Ut Fayetteville, Ark, May 9, under the auspices of the Grady Literary Socity.
 THE JUDGES.
 Of the debate are ex-Governor David R. Francis, of St. Louis, and Senator James K. Jones, of Arkan- sas, and q third gentleman selected by these. who is to be resident of neither Ark ansas nor Missouri
 THE NUMBER OF DEBAToRs
 Are three from each University. The time allotted for speaking is thirty minutes to each debator. Arkansas champions who are to maintain the affirmative side of the question are Mir. John E. Martineau, class of '96, of I.onoke; Mr. George Vaughn, class of '96, of Locksburgh, and MT. k. N. Graham, class of '9S, of Fayetteville. Mir. Richard Shaha, of Winslow, Ark, is Arkansas com mitteeman. Missouri's champions are T. McCutcheon, '96; c. NJ. Jack son, 97, and W. w. Walters, '9S. w.. K. Moore is Missouris committee man.
 THE TROPHY.
 The winning University will be awarded a beautiful and appropri- ate diploma which, it is hoped. will be the object goal of subsequent contests between the two Univer- sities.
 THE SUBJECT.
 Resolved, That the United States should adopt the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, regardless of the action of any other nation" This language is broad and nneqnivocal enough to be understood by a child, and it is believed that in this popu- lar dicussion the great problem just now baffiing SD many of our wisest statesmen will be satisfactory solved, and every intricacy will be removed and every obscurity illuminated.
 Outside of the interest attached to the debate itself, the presences of such distinguished judges will no doubt draw great audience.
 Senator Jones, in writing from Washlngt0n, ID. c., to President John l.. Buchanan. says although there had been no hope of his being in Arkansas at that time, and, ''while the trip is a long one from here to Fayetteville, such is my in terest in the occasion and so highly | do I appreciated the compliment of my selection. that will endeavor to be present and undertake the duties assigned to me- ]

ATLANTA HUGGING CASE.
Baltimore SUM

E,x-Secretary Hoke Smith would seem
to: be an expert on hugging, to judge
from the clever style in which he secured
the. acqIittal Of his lady client charged
wit: stealing a doctors pocketbook while
embracing him. Mr. Smith made the
docsor, who is said to be a gentleman Of
generous stomachic proportions, hug him
in o:en court, and the ex-secretary, hav-
ing a large endowment of the same char
actea, neither gentlemen was able 10
reach the cash of the other, each carry
ing ais pocketbook in the rear, or pistol
pocket, as they would call it in Ken
tuckT. Thus he demonstrated TO the sat
isfac.ion Of the court that the accused
lady's arms were not long enough to
stretch around the waist of the prescott
ing witness to the point where he carried
his money. The device was n shrewd
and effective one, and suggests that the
ex-secTetary has made something Of a
study :of human waists and of the encir-
cling capacity Of arms.
The vital flaw in his argument, how
ever, hut one which the prosecution for
tunately did not discover, was that the
party Gf the first part and the party OF
the second part, the hugger and the hug
gee, were both men. Under these condi-
tons there was, of course, no real SINGER
ity or parnestness in the affair. If
lady, say Mrs. Smith, for instance, had
been trying to get at Mr. Smiths pocket
book to obtain her Christmas money. the
result, we venture to say, would have
been entirely different, notwithstanding
the handsome cmbonpoint of the ex-sec-
rotary. When it comes to getting at a
husbands pocketbook, especially about
holiday simes, there is no protection for
the married. man in avoirdupois. Readers
of Dickens will recall the gentleman of
tremendous stomach. who wore his
watch in his fob and defed the efforts
Of pickpockets to remove it, but who
was at last doubled up by small boy
and robbed of his time piece The ladies
have the same extraordinary dexterity
and reso: lrcefulness in reaching their
husbands pocketbooks, and If Mrs.
Smith had been substituted for the doc
tor by the prosecution in court the other
day, Mr.. Smith would, unquestionably.
have lost: his case and gone home poorer
both in pocket and in professional reputa-
ton.

The most recent instance is the gift of
100000 by Mr.. Washington Duke, of
Durham, n. c., to school in that town
which he and his family had previously
literally aided. Last year Mr. Ginter, of
Richmond, expended nearly ST, 100000 in
building magnificent hotel, the equal of
which in some respects can hardly be
found elsewhere in the country. This
great RichmDnd hotel was built by Mr.
Ginter more :as an ornament and attrac-
ton to the city than as a money-making
Investment, although it may prove pro-
fitable. There is one other opportunity
for some broad-minded rich man to imi-

THE SHIP AND THE MAN.
George III. Hepworth.)


The way of ship in the midst Of the
sea.--Proverbs, xxx, 10.
Our human life may be compared to a
vessel, which sails the seas, with this
great difference, however, that when the
brave vessel finally drops her anchor that
ends it all, for though she may have a
glorious past she has no future, while in
the souls history there is no final an
chorage, but always other seas to cross.
i. A vessel must be built for the rough
est weather, not for the calmest. There
will be quiet days, perhaps many Of them,
: but they are no test of the vessels ca
pacity If the builder keeps the newt
able storm in mind, and makes that the
standard of his vessels excellence, he
shows himself a master workman, for
in fair weather any craft can make good
speed.
And so with the soul. Good fortune re-
veals very little as to our ability, but i'll
fortune tells the whole story. No man
knows what he is made of when things
go as he wishes them to- There is hard
~ noble quality which develops itself
under such circumstances. 1t is the re-
peated lightning flashes of strife and
wretchedness which show him to himself
and tell him whether he is deep or shall
low. A paper skiff will float in safety
on a summer sea under a summer sky,
but it requires live oak timber to with
stand the hurricane. Life is real life
is earnest" is not mere poetry, but hard
fact We need not be told this. for the
last few pages of our autobiography,
whoever we may be, prince or peasant,
