Cuban Autonomy.

"AdtonomyP Can it be true
That we are aiding Spain
To conquer, which she could
not do
Without our help, tits plaini
Shall struggling Cuba be denied
Release from cruel foe,
For which her patriots have
died
As ours long ago?
If Weyler failed by brutal
might
To crush the Cuban cause,
Will willy Blanco win the fight
With wheedling crafty laws?
Too long has Cuba worn the
yoke,
Too much its horrors feels,
To be deceived by what
that cloak,
Autonomy" concealsl
Revoluting thought, indeed,
that we
Such cordial" help should give
To Cuba's foe, that Cuba free
We pledge Spain, shall not live!
We tax our Treasury to please
Madrid at Washington,
BY watching ports, patrollng
seas,
While Spain has nothing done!
"Autonomy" Aye, blush with
shame
Al such compact made
With Tyranny In Freedoms
name,
As bloody Spain would aid!
Let every true American
Upon such treason frowp;
A foe TO freedom is that man
That helps bind Cuba down.

HARRY WHITTON'S CRIME
A Washington Youth, Who Went
West, Has Turned Desperate.
He shot ard Perhaps Fatally Wound.
ed an Officer Who Was in
Pursuit of Him.

1t is rer ortcd from POzoman, Mont, that
Harry Wilton, a aged twenty the sonof Mrs.
Nellie Wilton, who conducts boarding
house at No. s Grant place northwest, on
Saturday, 81 osand perhaps fatally wounded
a deputy sheriff OF that city while resist
ing arrest.
whitton, SO the telegram states, was in
company with Frank Morgan, desperate,
wLowasw wanted for an assault. They were
in the mountains about thirty-five miles
away fIom the town, when they were over
taken 10y the sheriff and his deputy. The
sheriff called OF the pair TO surrender, but
instead they immediately opened fire. The
deputy fell wounded in the head, but the
sheriff, although fired at five times, was
unhurt The men, However, overcame him,
and took his weapons away. They at first
talked al out killing him, but finally de-
cided TO let him live.
tits thought 10y the Montana officials that
whitton and Morgan are guilty OF other
and more serious crimes. When the news
reached Rozeman large sheriff's posse
was organized. who are now i'll search OF
the deSperadoes. II is doubtful, however,
If they will be caught. as there is snow
storm raging. which viii effectually hide
their tracks. At the time OF the sending
of the telegram the deputy still lived.
whitton is well-known in Brookland,
where. from his twelfth to his sixteenth
year. he resided with Dir. Theodore Y. Hull,
while attending school in this city. When
he was seventeen he returned TO his smother,
who was then living in st. Joe, Mo. He
worked there for year as grncer's clerk
and earned q reputation for himself as a
bright. industrious lad. Losing his position,
however. he decided to go West, and in
company with an older friend named Re-
gan. ne located in Bozeman. For several
years he curresponded regularly with his
mother who in the meantime, had moved
to this city.
About wear ago he ceased writing, but
he must sun have received the letters from
his mother, as they were not returned to
her In hls last letter home, about year
ago, he wrote that he had been very III
and would like to come home, but was pen
niless He continued to say that he expected
to earn some money soon and would then
start for the East. About a week ago
Mrs. Wilton could stand the suspense no
longer, and wrote to the proprietor OF the
hotel where her son had been stopping,
inuuirng as TO lis whereabouts. She has
as vet received no answer to her letter.
She said this morning that she fears the
story is only too true. Her son had always
been a good boy, but ne is young. andprob
ably fell in with evil associates in that
lawless region. Besides, he always had a
| quick temper, and size apprehends that
1 lie shot the officer n fit OF temper. Mrs
Wilton will send telegram to Bozeman
today to ascertain the full facts.

ss MIR. Nee onnelI, chairman Of the Lon
don county, court, has presented '1ov-
Ing cup to the corporation OF Belfast,
his native city, in memory of his father
and uncle, who, many years ago, were
members of the Belfast Corporation.
Mr.. Tough, M. p, did useful service to
the cause of Irish reform, recently, by
his lecture on the financial question be-
fore the Belfast Chamber of Commerce.
He took for his text Sir David Barbour's
report, which has been paraded in Ul-
ster as the final answer to the Irish case.
AS matter of fact there is much in Sir
David Barbour's report that Ia really
part of the Irish case, and Mr.. Tough
used it effectively. This is essentially a
question for Ulster, and when the true
bearings of the report are grasped there
the Northern Province will be among the
stoutest in the demand for redress.
Meantime the Irish peers continue to
come in," as they used to say formerly
of 1.-The Irishry" Lord Massarene and
the Marquis of Ormonde are the latest
additions to the roll of converts to the
Irish case. Probably the past and pros
pective loss on their rent rolls may have
quickened the conscientious perceptions
of their lordships.

BIushing Is a Disease.

The doctor who says that blushing is
nervous disease may be all right, but
many would like to see the ailment more
prevalent. Bushes are a good thing,
but no one has any reason to blush for
the st. Paul & Duluth Railroad, for it's
equipment is always Of: the latest and
best, and it is always in the foremost
rank. This is attested by the wide pop
ularity enjoyed by the Duluth Short Line
among those who travel between st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Supe-
rior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls and other
important northwestern points, and this
popularity has never weakened for an
instant. Fast, luxurious trains, running
