had seen a good deal Of light upon the

UNDER CRUEL WHEELS
"JACK" REDINGTON KILLED AT
kASOTA
working as a Freight Brakeman on
the Omaha and TTipped and
Fell Beneath the Wheels.

John w. Redington, one of the best
all-around ball players Of this city,
was almost Instantly killed at Kasota,
Mimi, late Thursday evening. Broth
er Jack" as Redington was familiarly
known, was employed as a freight
brakeman on the Omaha road. While
between the cars making a coupling
at Kasota, he tripped and fell under
the wheels, being terribly mangled and
dying shortly afterward. His remains
were brought to his home in this city
last evening.
The funeral will take place from the
cathedral Sunday afternoon at 2:50
o'clock. Redington was unmarried and
lived with his parents at S45 Goodrich
avenue. He was twenty-five years of
age and had been in the employ Of the
road for three years.
Redington played with Glenwood and
caught the last game played locally
by the Spaldings. From 1890 TO 1897
he played with the Hamm's Exports,
which was the former name. He was
considered one of the best catchers and
anf1elders in fast amateur ball circles
in the Northwest.
Redington made himself a popular
favorite in his service at Duluth, the
enthusiasts Of which city will regret
his death deeply.

Soldiers at Camp Hamilton Rebel
Against an Obnoxious Order.
LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 28.-It is
presumed that important inside infor-
nation has been received here relative
to the retention of the troops at Camp
Hamilton until their removal for for
eign shores. On account of their dis
ing scrapes caused by the presence Of
the soldiers in Lexington at night,
Gen. Sanger, division commander, q
few weeks ago issued an order allow
ing but two passes issued from one
company at time, &nd compelling all
soldiers to be back in camp by dark.
This stringency has affected the line
officers as we'll. In the Third Ken
lucky, One Hundred and Sixtieth In
diana and Twelfth New York there is
open mutiny. Last night the members
of these regiments agreed to rebel
against doing any camp service until
the order was modified concerning the
issuing of passes. The plan, as de-
tailed by one of the men of the terri
torial regiments, was that, when the
battalions went on dress parade yes
terday afternoon, the men were to
stack arms and refuse to further drill
until change was made in the order
Of issuing passes. The officers got
wind Of the matter and at the last mo-
ment an order was issued suspending
dress parade for the present.

LOGGING is OFF.
Order Suspending 1t on Reserva-
tiOns May He Made Permanent,


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-Secretary
Bliss, Commissioner Jones, of the In
dian bureau, and Commissioner Her
mann, of the general land office, had
another conference today over Chippe-
wa Indian matters. Regarding the
much discussed timber operations,
Commissioner Hermann said tonight
1.-TWO rep1 esentatiVes of this office are
nov in that section with a view to as
certa1ning the wishes of the majority
of the Indians as to the continuance
OF operations in cutting dead and down
timber for the ensuing year. If our
agents find that a sufficiently large
number Of the Indians favor dis
continuation, it is probable the dis
continuance Of all such operations will
become permanent until further ac-
ton 1s taken by congress.
Evidence before this office indicates
the work Of the last year has been sue
cessful, there having been received
$263,00O for dead and down timber,
which In few years would have gone
to rot and waste. 1t has just been dis
covered tkat the net profit on stumpage
covered into the United States treas
ury for the benefit of the Indian trust
fund from the sale OF dead timber was
last year $39, ,564, and not $4,000, as here
tofore calculated. There is no evidence
whatever before the department as to
the cutting Of green timber during the
dead and down logging operations,
though 1T is asserted large quantities
have been unIawfully cut. There are
no complaints on file here, either from
Indians or white men, specifying any
Instance. Reports to the contrary are
in mere general terms without proof.

cans it is not difficult to guess the re-
suit
William Hy Eustis, the Guaranty
Loan-street railway candidate for gov
ernor, has developed an amazing fond
ness for that class of voters to whom
he has referred so sneeringly so many
times. Mr.. Eustis says he never called
them CATTLE" but only said he was
sorry they had voted for him.
Here is another instance wherein he
showed his great fondness for the
Swedes:
At the first meeting Of the central
committee Mr.. Eustis was laying down

the campaign conducted
'"The first thing we've got to DO"
said this eminently practical politician,
is to square it with the Swedes. You
never can tell what they are going to
do"
Albert Berg, himself a Swede and a
candidate on the ticket, broke in to re-
mark that he has always deprecated
the raising Of the nationality issue and
believed it was bad politics to raise il
now.
That's all right for you to say now,"
said Eustis, with one of his sneers, but
there'd have been hell to pay among
the Swedes if you hadn't been nom
mated"
Knowing Mr.. Eustis had exhausted
every possible resource to defeat him
in the convention, Berg said nothing,
and the incident closed there, but it
will be heard from again Nov. g.
After that date Mr.. Eustis will not
have occasion to make the complaint
which the Pioneer Press admits he
made when he said: II wish to God the
Swedes hadn't voted for me-"

HIS FIRST CURES"
There was sick man in the
house, said La Chance, in speaking
of the first unusual incident he remem-
bered after his trance incident. HE
had some trouble with his knee and
could not walk. I was sitting beside
his couch talking to him. 1 told him
that no medicine could relieve him. AN
at once, as he described the severe
pains which he felt, experienced the
same pains in my knee I told him
about his pains and how he felt. He
laughed at me. The following day he
told the woman Of the house and she
said to me that I must be a medium
and might be able to cure the invalid
During the day the woman came to
me and said she had pains in he1
mead. She said she had suffered from
neuralgia for twelve years. I said.
more as a joke than anything else, that
it would be no trouble to cure her
Just for fun I told her to look at the
clock, which stood by on a. shelf
said when she had looked at the clock
two minutes she would be cured. I
felt Gods inspiration and prayed to
him to cure her. When the two min,
utes were up the woman said her head
felt light and that all Of the pain was
gone. She has since been cured.
The day after this the woman
brought her sister to me. She said
her sister had neuralgia also and ask.

was big. Her sister was little I said.

M. BARD CONCLUDES.

Reporter Bard today concluded his
report to the court on the Dreyfus
case. The court room was less crowded
than usual.
M. MOrnard, counsel for Nine. Drey-
fus, charged that an investigation be
ordered concerning the divergency Of
the testimony of the experts who ex-
amined the bordereau in 1894 and in
1897, and also to ascertain whether Sc
cret documents were communicated to
the members of the court martial.
AT this stage Of the proceedings M.
Bard read a letter from Gen. Come to
the president Of the court of cessation,
in which the general said:
I have just heard Of memorandum
introduced in court yesterday in which
Picquart accused me Of a dfshonorable
action. have never previously heard
OF this memorandum and l Wish te
deny most formally Picquart's allega-
ttons. 1 think my word Is Of greater
value than that Of a man imprisoned
on the suspicion Of forgery"
The reading Of the last statement
called forth loud protests in court. The
reporter added that as Col. Picpuart's s
memorandum was publicly read, and
1t was only justice to read Gen.
Comes denial.
The president Of the court ordered
that the generals letter be added ia
the documents In the case and tha
court adjourned.

was the occasion of a jubilation meet

himself as highly pleased with his re-
ception in Buffalo, Rochester and Syr-

the opinion was expressed by the man
agey that the Democratic state ticket
would be elected by $4,000 majority.
Justice Van Wyck, while modestly
disclaiming political knowledge which
would lead him to go intS detailed rea-
sons for believing in success. ceincided
with his mana gers in their conclu-
sions. He told them he was much i'm
pressed by two developments of his
trip. First, was the absolute unity Of
the Democratic party wherever he
went; second, was the great number
of Republicans who called on him and
personally assured him Of their sup
port.
The justice noticed also, that state
issues are the main consideration up
the state despite the efforts Of the Re-
publican leaders to inject national ex-
pansion and the Santiago campaign
into the contest. He. remarked with
qualification the sober earnestness and
solid enthusiasm Of the citizens who
listened to his address and called on
him.
