FROM GABRIEL.
A Young Girl of Paris Who Foreteus
Great Disasters for Europe.

Paris. April ga sensation has been
caused by the seances of a young wo-
man of Is years named Henriet Con
don. of Rue Paridis, who claims to be
a direct Intermediary from the Arch
angel Gabriel, and one especially Sc
IeCted to warn humanity of coming dis
asters n Europe.
The girl asserts that q vision ap-
peared to her i'm August last as she
was sitting quietly on q sofa at home
and since then she has been under its
influence. Only recently. however.
has the fun knowledge of her strange
case become public. and now fashiOna-
bic Paris jOstles on the staircase and
in her ante-r0Om in order to obtain the
ten minutes conversation which the
girl accOrds to each person who is pro-
vided with a letter Of Introduction
There is no question as TO her motive
which seem above suspicion. Her par
ents are eninently espectable. and no
money or gifts are asked for OF ac-
cepted- The utmost that can be said
in her disfavor is that She is proba bly,
q neurOtic.
Whatever her condition, a great di-
versity of opinion exists ia Paris re-
specting her genuineness. Daily Jour
mails publish column reports. and the
controversy RACES in religious circles
The archbishop is unable to decide
what to do. Some assert that she is
possessed by a demon, and others that
she is an earthly saint. Those aro5d
her believe implicitly in her declara-
uons. lit is impossible to predict the
outcome OF the affair.

TO KIDNkP JOE Wat Frs,
Only Politically Speaking-Pop-
ulists Have a Scheme
To Make Him Their Candidate
for Congress.
kansas Certainly Would startle the
House of Representative if Mr..
Waters Gould Be Sent There,
But he Won't GO.

There is a story ia connection with
the Populist nomination for congress
i'm the Fourth district which VIII star
tie Capt Joe Waters when ne hears OF
II. TIT is given out on the best of au-
thority that the popular and brilliant
Topeka lawyer is to be kidnapped by
the Populists and compelled to run for
congress on their ticket.
The congressioal committee viii
meet in Topeka next Saturday for the
purpose of fixing the date and place
for holding the congressional conven-
tion and the plan is to hold the con-
vention at Topeka
After the delegates are assembled
Capt Waters is 10 be invited to ad-
dress the convention especially on the
silver question and as Joe is very suS-
cepuble to these invitations no trou-
bic is expected In securing his services
He viii. OF course. if the plan is carried
out, make one of his rOusing and char
acteVistic speeches daying the gold
standard advocates alive.
OF course this is to develop the great
est enthusiasm and the delegates are
to arise as one man and nominate
Capt Joseph c.. Waters for congress.
A. he whole affair is to be spontaneous
and the POpulist leaders reason that
with such an endorsement. Capt. Wa
tiers could do but one thing-accept
the nomination.
This is not idle gossip 1t is the
scheme that is being quietly talked
among the P0pulist leaders in Topeka
and elsewhere in the district. The in
tention is 10 keep the matter an entire
secret outside the few people who gem
orally manipulate things Even Capt.
Waters is not to be let into the
scheme. He is to simply fall into the
trap.
One reason that the Populists would
like to force the nomination on Cap
tain Waters is that there are very few
Populists in the district who would care
TO become candidates and with a man
who has always posed as a Republican
for candidate they hope to draw
enough outside votes to at least make
a reasonable showing against Congress-
man Charles Curtis.
BUT one Popuhst has signided his
Willingness TO be q candidate and he
is Hiram Root of Topeka He would
like to have the nomination but is not
considered a strong candidate.
OF course there are other reasons
why an attempt is to be made to cap
ture the brilliant Topeka attorney who
Knows how to electrify an audience be-
sides the one that there is no avafIa-
Die Populist to take the nomination.
but thy are not now apparent to any
one outside the leaders themselves
BUT the schemers seem TO have for
gotten that Captain Waters has sworn
many a time and Oft that he VIII never
run 1or office or hold one

Good News from South Dakota.

'oOu -NCNs HUN NOulu phhUld.
The glorious result of this seasons
harvest of golden grain will pour a
stream of soand money into the peck
cts of every Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands OF
acres of choice farming and ranch
land lying east of the Missouri river,
and within one days ride from Chca-
go or Milwaukee which can now be
bought reasonably cheap, but which
before the end Of another year may be
advanced in price. The stock raising
industry in South Dakota is profitable,
and eastern capital is now being in
vested in cattle and sheep growing in
that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of
live stock, and the product of the
dairy, are placing South Dakota fore
most in the ranks of the successful
western states.
