Ellsworth
From the Cleaner.


Chas. Nelson of New Center
vile, St. Crolx county was in
Ellsworth last week looking up
location for hardware store.
He evidently considered that the
country surrounding Ellsworth
would well support the third store
of the kind as he rented the J. E.
Foley building in the east end of
town. His brother, also from st.
Croix county, will be associated
with him in the business. The
stock will be purchased immedi-
ately and the new firm expect to
have their store opened for
business early in the present
month.

Narrow Escape From LynchinG

a Francisco, August 15.-Dan
Thomas, a negro crab fisherman, was
wounded and narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the hands of 500 Tennessee SOL
diers today. The men of Troop Bot the
regular cavalry, which attempted to
quelI the riot, were dragged from their
horses by the volunteers and slightly
injured in the tusSle. The negrO's
house, a block and a half from the
BresidiO, was almost wrecked.
The trouble began in a saloon. Will
Davis, a private of Company L, First
Tennessee regiment, was drinking in
the saloon. Five or six other soldiers
from different regiments and the ne
gro, Thomas, were in the place. Ac-
cOrding to the story told by Davis,
the negro approached him and asked
for a drink. Davis replied that he had
no money, ~whereupon the negro struck
Davis in the right eye with a set Of
knuckleS. The two closed in a struggle
until they were separated by an Iowa
private.
When the negro found himself free
he left the saloon n went to his
home. Thither he was followed by the
soldiers who wrecked the house in an
endeavor to get at the man. But for
the prompt arrival of Major Cheat
ham, the negro might have Jared much
worse. On the way to the guard house
at the Preside, where Thomas was
taken for safe keeping, the negro was
attacked by Private Scruggs, who
struck him a terrible blow over the
e with a bludgeon. The soldiers
were quieted with much difficulty.

fair.
All the men engaged in the riot were
volunteers. Most of them were Ten
nesseeans, but there were a number
also from the Kansas and Iowa regi-
mentS.

England to Seize Chinese Forts.

London, August 15.-The foreign Of
fee, it is reported here today, though
the report as yet lacks confirmation,
intends to demand that the Chinese
government dismiss Prince Ii Hung
Chang from power on the ground that
he is responsible for the recent anti
British attitude of the Tsung Ii va
men.
The foreign office, it is also asserted,
has had under special consideration
the question of Selling the Taku forts,
on the gulf OF Pechin, at h mouth of
the Pekin river and the city of Tien
Tsin, the port Of Pekin, in the event
Of China refusing to comply with this
demand, holding all until compliance
is ssured.
Meanwhile the semi-official Journal
de St. Petersburg in today's issue dep
recates the tone Of the British press
and says: Russia does not contem-
plate further acquisitions in the far
east. Her only object it to preserve
the advantages recently gained. This
Russian government does not desire
to injure the economic interests Of
Great Britain any more thar those Of
any other power-"

On Charge Of Decorating Graves Of
Confederate SOLDIER I'm virginia.

Washington, August 15.-The trial by
court-martial Of Captain l. c. Dun
can,o of the Twenty-second Kansas reg
federate graves in Virginia, was re-
sumed at Thoroughfare Gap today.
The most important witness was Cap
tain George E. Rose, Company I,
Tw~enty-second Kansas, who. on hear
ing of the report of grave digging, in
vestigated the matter. When he reach
&C h scene and asked for an officer
he said Duncan stepped out and made
a emark to the effect hat he was con-
Quoting a medical research and wanted
to ascertain what the men in the
graves had died from. Replying to
his questions, the soldiers standing
around stated hat they were digging
up rebels. The witness was indignant
at what he saw and took prompt meas
ureS to report to headquarters. ~On
cross examaination he said that there
were about a dozen men in all, some OF
whom were non-commissioner officers.
He did not see Duncan handle any
bones or clothes.
Sergeant j. NJ. Southerd. of the
T~wenty-second Kansas, saw a party
of men opening graves. He identified
a button he had obtained from Private
Wise, of the Twenty-second, who, he
believed, got it from one of the graves.
He saw the jaw zone Of the occupant
of a grave and also some buttons and
parts of epaulets.
A sergeant Of Company H, Third
New York regiment, identified Duncan
as the officer who, with a party of
men, was seen digging in a mound of
earth. The men were from the Third
New York and a Missouri and a Kan
sas regiment.
The prospects are that the case will
continue for the remainder of the
week.

Upon by the President.

Washington, Augcst 15.-The Post
tomorrow will say:
The announcement of the personnel
of the military commissions for Cuba
and Porto Rico may now be expected
at any time. The president has prac-
tically determined upon the military
and naval officers who will compose

j. T. Wade, Major General M. c.. But
Ter and Admiral ". T. Sampson.
Porto Rico Commission-Major Gem
eral John r. Brooke, Major General
Theodore Schwan and Admiral Winfield
S. Schley.
1t will be noticed that the name Of
General F~itzhugh Lee does not appear
in the list of the Cuban commissioners.
The omission is not unintentional.
General Lee was originally slated for
a place on the commission, but will
not serve owing to his desire to remain
at the head of the army corps. 1t is
expected hat this corps the Seventh,
will eventually be sent to Cuba, and
in that event General Lee will go to
the island at it's head, preferring this
position to a cOmmisSiOnerShip.

The plant iself will be the latest improved and will cost when completed, in the neigh borhood of S9,000.
