THE MAINE ELECTION.

The readers of the Post Dis
patch, at least, have no reason to
be surprised at the result of the
Maine election. The scheme ar
ranged by the republican leaders
for spectacular effect was exposed
in Sundays Poss-Dispatch, and
plurality of 10000 was then de-
clared to be probable.
The result in Maine signifies
nothing, except that n ew England
favors continuance of the policy
that has enriched the Northeast
at the expense of the of the rest of
the country. It's effect should be
to stimulate democratic effort and
intensity democratic determine
ton to win in the West and
South.
The bigger majorities the North
eastern states give for the Wall
street policy which las piled up
the wealth Of the country in that
small section and impoverished the
rest of the United States, the
more convinced the people of the
West and South should be of the
necessity Of pi'ing up similar BIZ
msiorities the other way. The
best possible guide for the people
of the rest CT the United States is
to find out what New England and
Wall street want, ard then vote
the other way.
Maine is the fifth CT the six
states that vote prior to the gener
al elections in November. The
outcome of these elections is that
the republicans have doubled then
majority in Vermont and Maine
which have 10 votes in the Elec
toral College, while the democrats
have more than doubled their ma
iorities in Alabaml, Tennessee

A CLEVER THIEF.
O. D. Ellis Successfully Lands
Much Stolen Property inv
This Vicinity. VI.

Sheriff Forsythe, Of Watonwan
county, arrived in thecity Saturday
from Braineru. Mr.. Forsythe
had been up in the vicinity Of Pillager
looking after missing property sup
posed to have been stolen by 0. D.
Ellis, who was recently convicted on
u charge OF grand larceny in the
second degree and sentenced to five
years in the pen from Cottonwood
county.
Ellis. lived for several years on q
farm near Pillager, and dealt quite
extensively in horses. Some Of his
sales were made at such low
figure that his neighbors often
wondered how he could afford to
make them, but his honesty was
rarely questioned. He would leave
the place quietly and return with
horses and other property, always
driving the animals up from the
southern part Of the state, APP
parently without fear of detection.
In his business dealings he was
ALWAYS considered honest, and
paid his debts promptly. One thing
which disarmed suspicion was that
he frequently sold his horses on time,
taking notes and securities for pay
ment.
Sheriff Forsythe says that so far
eighteen horses have been recovered
and also some other property. Only
one team has been found in Morrison
county which Ellis had disposed OF,
and that was In possession Of W. s.
Mushatt, of Rails Prairie. Mushatt
had given his notes in payment, and
the notes were returned to him be-
fore he surrendered the stolen goods.
At Pi)lager an organ. u bible and Il
dictionary, all stolen by Ellis from
persons in Southern Minnesota were
found.
His method was to quietly Get
hold Of the animals which he took
and drive them out of the locality in
which they belonged as rapidly as
possible. 1t Is SAID that in his haste
to get away he had killed several
good animals by ovcrdriving them.
Ellis is serving a term of five years
now. and there enough indictments
against him ora charges that can be
easily proven to keep him In states
prison for more than Il hundred
years. Ho was an exceedingly
clever thief, and escaped detection
by reason of his boldness. The
authorities in capturing him scored
Il great hiu for he was one Of tho
most successful criminals that has
ever operated in this state.

Upper Mississippi Drives.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
water in the river has been falling
steadily all the past week and there
is no further trouble anticipated on
that account. All the drives on the
upper tributaries have been started.
One of the last to start was that OF
the Powers-Simpson company on
the Swan river. 1t started last week
and will be out in the main river
about the first of July. There are
Gu. 900, 900 feet in this drive. There is
plenty of water in the river for them
to move along all right, but they
are considerably hampered by the
large number of distractions that
t he high water of the spring has
washed into the bed Of the river.
The other streams up north are
all at a good driving stage and the
logs are coming along nicely. Price
Brothers big drive in Prairie river
is coming out all right and as soon
as it is all in the main stream a drive
will be started by the Northern
Boom company from Pokegama
lake.
The Spencer brook drive OF 12,000,-
600 feet is about all in the boom at
Anoka and the Rum river is rapidly
clearing Of logs.
Logs are being turned over the
dam at Brainerd again and are being
allowed to run freely to the jam at
Little Falls. The river between
Little Falls and st. Cloud has been
cleaned up once and the Boom
company is now breaking the jam at
Little Falls and turning about five
million feet per day over the dam at
that point. The company is also
cleaning out the logs from behind
the island near Minneapolis to be
run to the mills at once.

The list of delegates from the
Clough convention includes the
names of such party workers as j..
&. Flynn and s. Trebby. In 1894
they were active in their hostility
to the local Republican ticket, and
did what they could to prevent local
Republican success. Mr.. Trebby
was the authorized challenger for
the Democratic county organization
in his precinct in 1894, although pro-
Tossing Republication. At the last
Republican caucuses he was the man
selected for Judge Dy the Clough Re-
publicans in his precinct. After
q number OF Democrats had
voted, and represented to all
questions 10y each saying 81
vote the Republican ticket. it was
Mr.. Trebby who stated that there
was no need of asking those men
any more questions, as they had
been trained and schooled to reply
in the way they did. And in his
precinct about 20 Democrats voted
and thus gave the Clough ticket a
small majority. We can see no
obligation on the part of any Re-
publican to recognize the legality OF
the result of such caucus.

The Work OF Firebugs.

The Salvation Army barracks had
a narrow escape from destruction
by fire last week Friday. At about
midnight Marion Roberts, who lives
in the Harting building just north OF
the Army hall, noticed n bright
light in the window Of one Of the
back rooms of the building He
summoned parties to his assistance
and entrance through the rear door
was effected by force. In the middle
Of the room & large bundle of rags
were piled up and were on fire, and
the fire had also caught in the floor
and had got quite start. The rags
were saturated with kerosene, it Is
said, and strong smell Of kerosene
was detected in the room.
The officers of the Salvation Army
claim to have locked up the building
when they went home, at about 10
O'Clock. There is strong evidence
that the fire was the work of fire
bugs, hut for what reason it cannot
he explained, unless it is some one
who wishes to drive the Army out
of town.
The old rags were brought into
the building that plight, evidently for
that purpose, as the officers say
they were not there before the fire.
The h1,ilt1inr ia tho nrOnprtv of n
syndicate Of several OF our citizens
ana was once used as an opera
house, and it was in one of the
dressing rooms in which the fire
started. The early discovery of the
fire was very fortunate, for it is sit
uated near a long row Of frame
buildings, which would have been
hard to save If the Army building
had got beyond control. The dam
age done is very light. |

LlGHTNING'S FRANKS
Demolished a House Saturday
Evening-the Inmates Es-
cape Serious Injury.

Many strange. almost miraculous.
escapes from death by lightning ha 80
been reported, but we have never
heard of more narrow escape than
that OF the family OF Ed Batters last
Saturday evening.
During the rain and electrical
storm that occurred between Z and
s O'Clock Saturday evening; there
was but ono heavy stroke Of light
ming in this vicinity. That one
struck the house of Edward Batters,
on the corner of Fifth street and
Fourth avenue southeast. The
lightning struck the chimney, COM
pleteIy demolishmg it from top to
base. The chimney is built from the
kitchen, and it was in that part of
the house that most OF the family
were at the time the shock was
received.
The lightning, coming. down the
chimney, badly broke up the COOK
stove, and tore hole through the
floor into the cellar. Mrs. Rntters
stood within Il few feet Of the stove,
and less than three feet from the spot
where the lightning went through
the floor, and although Il cat that
was standing beside Mrs. Batters
was killed instantly, she escaped I'M
injured.
On the other side Of the stove, and
but a few feet from it, was u young
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Batters taking
bath. He was also uninjured, but
the tub was completely filled with
the debris torn from the walls and
ceiling.
The Oldest son, Bert Batters, who
was also in the kitchen, received
quite n severe shock, and one Of his
arms is quite badly swollen as the
result. Mr.. Batters was in the front
part of the house and was stunned,
but not hurt in the least.
The house is badly torn up, and
part of the plaster Is torn off every
room in the house. Pictures that
were hanging on the walls were
thrown down and demolished, and
in fact the whole interior OF the
building with part OF the furniture,
suffered great damage.
Mrs. d. Brown, who lives in the
next house south, but n few rods
distant, also received slight shock,
aud S. p. Casey, who had driven his
team to the gun club house, two or
three blocks south OF the Batters
residence, also received aslight shock
while he WAS in the act Of turning
the cushions Of his buggy over.
The damage done to the Bntters
houseis quite severe, being estimated
at more than $500.
The escape of the ent tire family from
serious injury is considered little less
than a miracle.
