PRIEST FOR 9 YEARS.
J. M. Lucey Quietly Celebrates the
 Occasion Sunday.

Sunday was the 25th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of Father l. NJ. Lneey, priest of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. Father Lucey has spent il greaterp part of this time in this city and has been il pa triotic and progressive citizen. 1t was the intention of the Sisters of Charity here who are associated with him in the religious work io give a jubilee celebration in honor of the occasion, and have about 30 vis- iting priests present. Father Lucey, however, preferred that they use the funds for the Church, instead of in curing the expense for his benefit.
 The GRAPHIC hopes that many more years of usefulness may be spared to Father Lucey.

Col. Breckinridge then sent out circulars to leading Democrats throughout the district, for the purpose of having a primary election called tochoose a Democrat aic candidate for congress, it being his intention to be a candidate for the nomination before the primary 1t was almost certainty that he would be nominated by primary election. But the congressional committee of the district refused to call primary and Col. Breckinrid ge declined to allow his name to go be- fore the convention, believing that he could not win the nomination : there.
 Hon. Evan E. Settle was made the Democratic nominee by that con vention, ard then the Republicans nominated Colonel Breckinridge and his name was placed the log cabin bn the Reoublcan ballot. The com bined strength of the Republicans and the National Democrats, how ever, was not great enough to send him back to congress, and for the fourth time he was turned down, when Evan Settle was elected by Q snaiority of about 20O0. Shortly af- ter this defeat Col. Breckinridges friends bought Q controlling inter- est in local Democratic paper, and the name of his son, Desha, was ! placed at the head of the editorial column as manager.

Holgate. Ohio. Nov. 12-Word has
reached this city from OakwOod, Ohio,
a small hamlet 25 miles south, of an
outrage perpetrated by whitecaps upon
two girls, Edith and May Roberts, aged
10 and II years. Ten days ago the young
ladies' received a whitecap notice. warn
ing them to leave the town and county,
but they had paid no attention to the
notice.
In the night they were awakened by
band of eight or ten men entering
their rooms and dragged from their
beds in their night robes to the nearby
road, where they were terribly whipped
by a at-o-nine-tails, which was found
in the road next morning. After beat
ing the two girls, the whitecaps gave
them a coat of tar and feathers and
took them back to the house, where they
were found unconscious by people pass
ing by.
May, the youngest of the two girls,
is in a critical condition, her flesh being
cut to the bone by the whip.
A card cOntaSaing ten names was
found tackled to the front door, but none

ship company has been formed under
the laws of New Jersey, with a capital
of 1000 900, and with Charles H. Cramp,

dent Cramp was at the Waldorf last

The Ohio will be the first steamer to
sail and will leave early in December
to be followed by the four others, all
leaving by March 1. To act in conjunc-
tiOn with those steamers a fleet of light
draught vessels are being built as rap

A MAN IN AGONY.
Emmett ROwley Seized With a
Peculiar Attack on the
Street.

While Emmett Rowley was eating his
restaurant, he had a peculiar attack.
He left the table when he felt the sick
ness coming on and left the restaurant
without the people at the tables MOTTO
ing that there was anything wrong but
he had not gone more than so feet when
he began to throw his arms wildly
about if striking at something. Peo-
pie stopped to watch him. but no one
gave him any assistance until he walk
ed into Stickle's upholstering establish
ment on West Fifth street.
Mr.. ROwley's condition became worse
rapidly and he would call out prantical-
ly: "Oh my heart is fiuttering. 1 am
going to die. l tell you 1 am going to
die" All the time he was walking up
and down clutching a the air while the
perspiration rolled down his face. 1t
was apparent that he was in agony.
He was taken into a back room and
bystander who had stopped watched
the suffering man. The pain was so
intense that he would stop occasional
~ and cry out. He cIutched at his
throat and begged for a doctor occa-
siOnally, stopping as he rushed around
the room to clutch a piece of furniture.
When DR.. F. H. Martin arrived he
gave Mr.. Rowley an injection of
Strychnia and in a few minutes he be-
gan to quiet down. He soon recovered
sufficiently to be taken to his rooms on
East Sixth street.
DR.. Martin says that the attack was
the result of acute indigestion. Gas in
the stomach pressed upon the heart
and retarded the work of that organ.

South American Dreibund is
Being Formed
To Subjugate and Parcel Out
Bolivia.
CHILL AND PERU LEAD
Argentina Will Be Taken in to
Make it Safe.
Bolivia is Excited and Full OF
Fight.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso, Chilli
says:
"A plan for a dreibund of Chill, Peru
and Argentina is in existence, which,
if adopted by the three governments
will wipe Bolivia off the South Ameri-
can map, Chill. Peru and Argentina di-
viding her territory"
Startling as this statement is there
are many who are inclined to give it
credence. Without a doubt some in
ternational step of Importance is under
contemplation, Chilli and Peru have
become entangled with Bolivia and
what the result will be no one can tell.
The demands of the alarmists of an
explanation from the government, it is
generally believed, are justified. SenOr
Salinas, Chilis minister to Sucre, BO-
Hvia, has gone to Santiago to confer
with the government on the situation
The government fatty denies that he
will not return to Sucre, though there
are grave fears that he will be muir
dered if he does return. as the feeling
there against Chill is intense In the
clubs and cafes and at social gather
lngs everywhere in Bolivia one hears
Chilli talked of as a faithless dislOyal
nation.
Reasons for all the feeling against
Chilli are to be found in the rebellion OF
1891 and its bearing on the Ancion
treaty. The revOlutionists promised
to Bolivia, if she would recognize the
belligerency of the rebels, that if they
were victorious they would give to Bo-
lVia two years after victory the two
Peruvian provinces Tacua and africa,
held temporarily by Chill under the
AnciOn treaty.
More than six years have elapsed
since the victory of the TevOlutionists
and Chill has not fulfilled her promise.
for the reason that by doing so she
would trample on the treaty. Bolivia
now insists on the fulffIlment of this
promise which Chilli holds is illegal
In the meantime Chill has recalled
SenOr LIra, the minister of Chill to Pc
ru, who belonged to the revolutionary
party and has sent Senior Vicente San
ia Cruz q Balmacedist there with in
Structlons to sound Peru on an alliance
against Bolivia, against which govern
ment Peru has many grievances.
Ihe plan is to bring about a war with
Bolivia and for Peru's assistance Chill
promises to return to Peru the proVinc-
es Of Tacua and africa without putting
the question to a popular vote or de-
mahding of Peru the ten million soles
ransom, as provided in the Ancion
treaty Chill is also prepared to furn-
1sh Peru with all necessary arms and
munitions to carry on the war with
Bolivia
In this connection the dreibund
against Bolivia is being considered
Argentina, it is said, viii be invited in
to the alliance to give strength to the
movement.
The Herald says that it is reported
all International affairs between Chilli
and Bolivia and Peru will soon be sat
1sfactoriIy settled, Chill accepting the
commercial and peace treaties drawn
by Bolivia and leaving the solution OF

BOYLE COULD WIN.
Newt Ury Says the POpnIist At
tOrneY General Could Be
Elected to Congress.

Newt TRY of Fort Scott, the RepubIi-
can representative from the Twentieth
district says that if Attorney General
Boyle decides to run for congress from
the Second district he can easily beat
Funston, Cubbison, Jack Harris and
Charley Scott, the four Republicans
now mentioned as candidates on the
Republican ticket. Representative Ury
was in Topeka today in the interest Of
his appointment as Indian agent at the
Usage reservation.
Boyle will never be a candidate for
will be candidate for congressman
from the Second district if he gets g.
good chance to run. Although Funston
has been mentioned as probable candf-
date for governor on the Republican
ticket, Boyle could easily beat him in
the race for congress. I believe that Of
the four candidates mentioned on the
Republican side Cubbison would give
Boyle the hardest fight but the little
attorney general would undoubtedly
come out ahead
