Newspaper Outfit.
At Mitchell, South Dakota, the entire Mail
outfit, paper, presses. type, and other prop
erty belonging to a long-established news
paper, was taken into the street and burned
by business men. The type was melted, the
woodwork went up In smoke, and the iron
presses we're smashed into hundred OF pieces.
This act Is another chapter in the tragedy OF
this papers editor, R. b: Mcbride. A story OF
blasted hopes, ruined lives, and, 1t is said,
malignant efforts to ruin business is mixed
mn in the case. The editor had assailed
prominent people and the management OF
public institutions.
John ID. Lawler, President Of the First Ma
tional Bank, was the husband OF McBrtde's
divorced wife's sister. Mcbride attributed
his family troubles to the banker and began
a systematic attempt to discredit the institu-
tion. Every weeks issue contained illusions
TO the bank and its President based on false
hood, but appearing In such q manner that
no action at law could be taken against the
editor.
The career Of Mcbride did not excite great
resentment among the people until the news
came that John D. Lawler had suddenly
died OF apoplexy IN SlouA CRy, Wni'nef
he had gone On business. The full force
Of McBrlde's long-continued abuse, then
came home to the citizens and they
resolved to rid the town OF the
editor. 4 meeting of the foremost citizeas
was held, and US result a committee called
upon Mcbride and informed him that they
had come to buy his outfit, with the further
proviso that he would have to leave the
town.
Mcbride assented to the proposition, and
said that he would sell the plant to the citi-
zens. At the appointed time the citizens
called on Mcbride. but in the meantime he
had been bolstered up by some Of his friends,
and he purposply got out of reach Of the
committee. The latter appointed one Of
their number to become McBride's agent,
gave him sufficient money to pay for the
plant. and then proceeded to destroy the
whole outfit.

Tariff agitation is over for the present sas-

resentative Dingley received its death blow
in the Senate. The bill was killed by the
vote OF % to SO, by which the Senate refused
to take it up for consideration.
Senator Frye accurately described tho
condition of the tariff bill, passed early in
the session by the House OF Representatives.
when he said during the proceedings In the
Senate: "It is rs deal as Julius Cesar"
Senator Morrill,. of Vermont, the Chair-
man of the Finance Committee. had demon
strated few months before to ihe Senate
and the country that the bill could not even
be considered because five Republican
Senators had deserted their party. and
he had followed this statement with
the pubic announcement that be
would not take the time OF the Senate
again to consider the bill. The motion and

speech Of Senator Frye wIre ail part OF Il
prearranged programme to give notice 10

silver Republicans had gained one vote
that Of Senator Cannon. Of Utah. The live
Republicans who voted against considera-

Edgar W. "Bill" Nye was born on August
2s, 1850, in Shirley. Picataauis County, Me.
He was brought up, however. on
farm on the banks Of the st.
Croix River, Wis, his parents 60
Ing West when he was two years old.
He received an academicaI education at
River Falls, Wis, and in 1876 was admitted
to the bar In Wyoming Territory. BE says
he himself finally needed the warning OF the
authorities not to practice law after his
law practice was nearing zero.
His first effort at writing was in the Cheyenne
Sun at 81 colamn. He worked for time
on the Denver Tribune and then became the
editor of the Laramie Boomerang.
He christened the paper after an obstinate
mule he owned, which he called Boomer.
ang, because, he said. ''you could never tell
where 1t would strike" The mule was In q
livery stable, over which was Bill Nye's edi-
torial sanctum. Callers were instructed ito
twist the tail Of the gray mule and take the
elevator" Bill Nye made his reputation on
the Boomerang, which began to be quoted
all over, and spread smiles from one end OF
the country to the other.

Dead From Sunstroke.

Men, Women. Children and Horses Fall
Dead From Sunstroke.
Besides terrible storms and awful destruc.
tion to marine property along the Australian
coast the weather on land has been unpre-
cedentedly hot and the death rate from sun.
stroke has been excessively high.
In great many sections the crops ara
ruined. In Queensland 113 In the shade is
the. recorded temperature, and in many
places In Australia the thermometer reached
1875 in the shade. Startling statistics are te
hand OF death from heat.
On one day eighty people were inferred OF
Sydney. So great was the demand foi
graves that managers OF cemeteries had te
engage number Of assistants. Nearly all
those who succumbed were Infants RuC
aged persons. In the crowded commercial
entries citizens are walking the streets all
night. There is mad rush from the city tc
the country.
Records are coming in from North, East,
South and West Of the terrible heat. Sheep
and cattle are dying in droves for want o.
fodder and water. In Queensland, New
South Wales and Victoria the heat has never
been so excessive. Men, women, children
aud horses drop down in the street and die
before assistance can reach them. To add tc
the distress scarlet fever and other epidemics
prevail In many localities.
The newspaper columns are crowded with
reports Of the rush from the gold fields Of
Coolgsrdie, which, during the past si3
months, have claimed upward Of two hun.
dred victims by starvation or water famine.
So many Of the god seekers have found
death instead of fortune that panic among
the prospectors has resulted, and every
mode OF conveyance Is now called into ser.
vice to transport from Western Australia
those who few months ago were mad to
reach there.
At Kalgourlich terrible destitution pre-
walls. and the road leading from that place
back to civilization Is strewn with skeletons
and marked with the graves Of those who
have perished In their desperation to reach
the nearest station.

in the town and 900 of his followers were
camped JUS east OF the town. Hernandez
came from the west, entering the main street,
Zayas and his companions ran firing their
revolvers to warn their men OF the approach
OF the troops. Zayas reached the rebel camp
and took command.
He divided his men into three battalions
OF 800 men each. Two OF these remained at
the east end of the town and attacked Her
nandezs column as they came down the
narrow street. With 300 mounted men Zayas
rode around the town and entered it in Her
nandezs rear, attacking the troops and
driving them in between the cross-tlre OF the
other rebel bands. Hernandez fought desper-
ately and used several cannon. but the
rebels had him in disadvantaSeous
position. He fought on, moving slowly
along the road east from San Cristobal to
Candearia. Zayas's men fouS ut him on each
flank and from the rear. 1t is said that the
road was Uttered with dead soldiers for the
entire six miles to Candelaria. The III
formant said he saw in the ruins OF hors SO
which had been burned on the road the
heads of six Spanish soldiers.
