remember the recent death of Lewis
Redwine, a noted bank defaulter of
Atlanta, Ga, whose case created, an
immense sensation some years ago?
Well, when he. was placed on trial
RedWine maintained a stubborn ST

penitentiary at Columbus o. II It. was
generally believed that he would
break down when he actually started

who stood high socially, and the pa
Perss decided to send reporters with
him to the train. For some reason
the authorities didn't approve of the
plan and arranged to slip him out Of
town a day in advance of the time
officially given out. The train was
to leave at noon, and about 20 min
utes before that hour a reporter, out
on other business, happened to use a
telephone in downtown store. When
he was talking the wires became
crossed and he heard a voice say:
We have arranged for the train to
stop at the outskirts of town to-day
to take on Redwine. y He recognized
the voice as that of deputy marshal
talking to the jailer, and realized in
a flash that a scheme was on foot to
get the noted prisoner out Of the city
"a hours ahead Of time. He dashed
away from the store, got to his Office
in time to draw some money and
caught the train. Redwine didn't con-

A Railroad Mans Prayer,

An old railroad worker was con-
verted and being present at meet
ing in which there were many in
quirics, he was called to lead in
prayer. He hesitated a moment and
then with trembling lips, but clear,
resounding voice, he said, reverent-
ly: "Oh Lord, now that | have
tagged thee, lift up my feet from
the rough road of life and plant
them safely on the deck of the train
of salvation. Let me use the safety
lamp known as prudence, make all
the couplings with a strong link of
thy love and let my hand lamp be
the bible and the Heavenly Father
keep all the switches closed that
lead off on the sidings, especially
those with a blind end. Oh Lord;
if it be thy pleasure, have every
semaPhore block along the line show
the whole light Of hope, that I
may make the run of life without
stopping, and Lord, give us the ten
commandments for a schedule and
when l have finished the run on
schedule time, pulled. into the great
dark station Of death, may thou, the
superintendent of the universe, say,
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servant, come and sign the payroll
and receive your check for eternal
happiness. AMEN"

Race Between Patchen and Gentry.

Detroit, Mich, July 1.-THE fastest
mile thus far made this season, and
the fastest ever gone in Canada, was
paced on the Windsor track yesterday
afternoon by Joe Patchen. The black
stallion also went one of the fastest
quarters ever seen, covering one OF
his last quarter miles in 291a seconds,
a 1853 gait. The match race between
Patchen and John B. Gentry was =
fine hard driven contest, and was won
by Patchen in two straight heats by q
couple lengths in both cases. The
time by quarters was as follows:
First heat, 80: 1:O1; 1881; 2:O4H.
Second heat, :31H; 1903; 1875; 2:O441s.

A BoER VICTORY.
Lord Roberts Reports That tho Enemy At
tackled NItraPH Mex and Captured the
PIace-AtremPt Take Pretoria.

London, July 13.-Lord Roberts re-
ported to the war department yester-
day that the Beers had attacked
NitraIs Mex and captured the place.
Several other small engagements with
the enemy were also reported. The
surrendering of Boer arms and ammu-
milton at Heidelberg continues.
Lord Roberts dispatch throws .
serious light upon the state of affairs
in South Africa. There has been some
comment recently regarding the vir-
tual absence of progress by the inn
mense army under command of Lord
Roberts, but few could have been
found to believe that the scattered
Beers were able to infiict such de-
feat so near Pretoria. Instead of the
surrender of all of the remaining
Beers being imminent, as recent tele-
grams had limited, it seems they have
been making a concerted attempt to
surround or recapture Pretoria, with
so much success that in the region
which was supposed to be pacified
and in which no attack was eXpectd
they succeeded in inflictinR a serious
defeat and capturing two guns and
some 200 men,

BRITISH SUCCESS IN AFRICA.
The Capture of Bethlehem Improves the
Prospects for Peace-Collap~es of the
Forces of DeWet Expected Daily.

Pretoria, July 12.-The British sue
cess at Bethlehem has considerably
improved the prospects for peace, it
is said. The whole of the government
of President Steyn, of the Orange
Free State, has surrendered except
President Steyn himself. Those Off
Gals who are prisoners have been
allowed to communicate with Presi-
dent Steyn for the purpose of at
tempting to prove to him the use
lessness of continuance of the strug-
gle which can only produce blood
shed without any counterbalancing
advantages. The collapse of the
forces of Gen. DeWet is expected
daily. The Beers here say that the
men have taken a solemn oath never
to personally surrender, but they are
beginning to see the unfairness of
sacrificing life to personal wishes. 1t
is expected that when Gen. Botha
learns of the defeat of his colleagues
he will gladly enter into conferences
looking to the establishment of peace.

WILL MAKE NO SPEECHES.
President Mckinley to Devote His Time to
Affairs of State-Ca mpaIgn of 1895
VIII Not Be Duplicated.

Canton, O., July 12.-The campaign
of 1900 in Canton will not be dupli-
cate of the campaign Of 1896. It is
not the present intention of Mr.. Nc
Kinley to make speeches to delegates
who may visit Canton during the
summer and fall, even if he should re-
main here all the time. The presi-
Diet will be so much occupied with
public business that he will have but
little time to devote to the campaign.
He says his position is much different
than four years ago. Then he was
private citizen and as the candidate of
his party felt justified in taking the
active part he did in the campaign.
Now he is president of the whole peo-
pie and feels that he should give his
attention to the many questions of
government pending and constantly
arising.

DEMOCRATS YIELD.
Fusion Arranged in Nebraska on
Lines Demanded by POpulists.
Considerable Acrimony Developed In Both
observation-disclosures Get Ma iorIty of
State Ticket and Half the EIscrors
Gov. POINTER Heads Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., July 13.-Daylight
yesterday found three state conven-
lions stlu IN session, with practically
no progress made further than the
adoption of their separate platforms.
The whole question hinged on whether
the democrats would yield from the
position they had taken in demand
ing two places on the state ticket, to-
gether with all the electors for presi-
dent and vice president. All efforts
to bring about surrender was
howled down derisively.
In the populist gathering some
fiery speeches were made in denun-
citation of the stubborn attitude as
sumed by the democrats. At three
o'clock a. m. yesterday a motion was
made that the democrats be given the
electoral ticket and the populists take
the state offices. The debate on this
was spirited and delegates accused
each other of wanting to trade off the
rights of national politics and the
rights of Mr.. Towne for a few state
offices. M. F. Harrington created
sensation by asserting that the way
to increase the middle-of-the-road
movement was to throw Towne over
and substitute one who, he said, had
declared the war a failure. He said
Towne's withdrawal would lose North
Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas,
and the fusionists would have to fight
for their lives in Nebraska J. H. Ed
mission, vice chairman of the populist
national committee. Endorsed all Har-
rington said. Mr.. Edmiston declared
if the populists did not hold their
place on the ticket they could never
hold another national convention.
On reconvening the conference COM
mittees reported a compromise propo-
sition whereby the democrats are
given three electors. the populists
four and silver republicans one, the
democrats to have two state Offices,
silver republicans one and the popu-
lists the rest. Without waiting on
the reports the populists referred the
whole controversy to committee of
one, NJ. f. Harrington, with power to
treat with the democrats, but in
structing him not to concede more
than one state Office. At 1920 an
agreement was reported to the popu-
list convention on presidential elect
ors, giving four to the populists,
three to the democrats and one to
the silver republicans. A motion pre-
vailed that the nominations of elect
ors be referred to the state central
committees of the three parties.
Nominations for governor were de-
clared in order and without nominal
ing speeches the roll of counties was
called. AS the balloting proceeded it
was seen that Gov. Poynter had a
walk-away. Before the result was an
nounced John O. Yeiser, of Omaha,
one of the candidates for the nomina-
ton, moved that the selection of Gov.
Poynter be made unanimous. It car
ried with applause.
The democrats on recovering rati-
fed the nomination of Gov. Poynter
and then nominated ". D. Oldham
for attorney general. The populists
in turn nominated Oldham.

Death Claimed MRS. DIN Castle.

A chapter of the most remarkable
tragedy in the history of Eldorado
closed last week when the death of
Mrs. DIN Castle occurred. On June
-13, Clara Wiley and Olin Castle were
married, and their little home was a
happy one, full of bright hopes and
prospects. On the night of the 21st
"a reception was held in their honor,
and on the next morning Miss Jesse
Morrison, supposed to be in fit of
mad jealousy, entered the Castle
home and cut the throat of the
young bride. For IS days Mrs. Castle
made brave fight for life, but, owing
to the wounds not healing and the
failure to take proper nourishment,
@she at last gave up hope and said she
was ready to die. During all these
days she did not utter word of com
plant, and always had a smile for
those about her. She wrote good-by
messages to loved ones and also a
note to Miss Morrison, forgiving her.
She had been member of the Metho-
dist church for IS years and died a
devout Christian. The charge of as
sault with intent to kill with which
Miss Morrison was held was dis
missed, and she was Immediately ar
rested, charged with murder in the
first degree.
