A gentleman writes from Clark
county that Wappenstein, the nc
tCrious Seattle crook detective, who
is charged with getting a diyvy out
of every trick that is turned by the
crooks Of this city, accompanied by
Meredith, an official associate, is now
iii that section Of the country trying
to buy up delegates to vote against
the nomination of Senator Frink. 1t
thus appears that the foreign
devils" turned down by the Republi-
cans Of King county last Friday are
still pursuing their villainous work
The thugs Of this city have contrib
uted bags Of money to bride the Re
publicans into making Honest" (?)
Tom Humes the gubernatorial can
didate, and most signally failed. If
it cost them a dollar it must have
cost them not less than $4,000, and
yet they failed. Now they are out in
the smaller counties continuing to
carry on Their criminal work. Both
of Seattle's detectives had better be
al their posts Of duty trying to catcll
the hundreds of criminals that are
robbing houses nightly in this city,
instead Of being out in the state
themselves playing the criminal act.

"When Greek meetsl"-While the
battle Of the primaries was on, the
quiet observer witnessed scenes at
the polls, running from grave to gay,
from the pathetic to the comical,
some verging upon tragedy; Of the
latter was the contest in a certain
precinct Of the Seventh ward, where
two fierce and grizzled veterans Of
the civil war led the warning fac
tons in the contest. The war cry Of
one was, Il fights nit John Frink!"
OF the other, Il do battle for Guy
Humes!w Each Of these leaders Of
the clans wears an empty sleeve, each
having lost an arm upon more
bloody, but not more sanguinary
fields Each veterans face was stern
and grim as he marshaled his forces
for the fray.

SUICIDE AT CHARLTON.
Omaha Man Kills Himself in iowa
Town,

Charlton, Sept. 17.-(Special.) y
Chas. Downing, of Omaha, who has
been in the city for the past few
days visiting his wife, committed sui
eide by shooting himself in the head
Saturday night at the home of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Geo. Jewett.
Charles was an old Charlton boy, but
moved with his family to Omaha some
time ago, where he secured work on
the railroad. He married Carrie Tay-
lor, of this place, but it did not prove
a happy union, they having had much
domestic trouble and he having threat
ened self-destruction on several occa-
sions previous to this. His wife came
to Charlton a short time ago to live
with her mother, aud he secured a
lay-off and followed, her here. He
wanted to go to Buffalo Bills show but
for some reason was prevented and he
begun to worry and have trouble with
his wife. About $40 he went into his
room and in a short time the folks
heard a shot and went in to find him
dead with bullet hole in hiss head.
He left no note or message tosgiVe the
reason for his rash act, but members
of the family attribute it to domestic
trouble. He was only about % years
old and has many friends here as well
as in Omaha who mourn his death.

Strike is Settled.

Des Moines. Sept. 15.-The strike
ordered September in the Consolidat-
ed Coal company's mines at Muchaki-
mock was settled Thursday, with a
complete victory for the United Mine
Workers. The company had been pay
ing more than the scale commonly de-
manded, requiring longer working
hours, but it had refused to recognize
the union. AT the conference held
Thursday between Manager Buxton,
President John P. Reese of the state
organization of the United Mine Work.
ers of America, and John White, its
secretary, the company formally rec
ognized the union and adopted union
hours. OF the 600 men employed in
the Muchakinock mines, those who
had heretofore refused to cast their
lot with the union, numbering about
450, have at last capitulated and join
ed in a body. Hereafter only union
miners will be employed.

ELoPEs WITH A SCHOOL GIRL.
Farmland, 25 Years, Old, Runs Away
With a 14-Year.oid Child.


Clinton, Sept. 17.-Albert Barnhard,
a farm hand, 25 years old, and Mary,
the 14-year-old school girl daughter
of Phillip Bealer, a well-to-do farmer
living near Fenton, Ill, eloped today,
and, tho they covered up their trail,
they were captured at Boone, Ia, and
held until the girls father arrived.
Barnhard came here yesterday af-
ternoon and engaged livery team.
He said he wanted a good one, and
told the proprietor that he was going
to steal a girl. He left here at eight
this morning, and at Fenton met the
girl and an older sister going to
church.
He said he wanted to talk with the
girl and asked her to get into the bug
gy. This she did, and the sister went
into the church.
Later, when they did not return, the
father and an uncle drove in pursuit
of the missing couple. When they ar
rived here they learned that the elop-
ers had departed on the Colorado
special with tickets for Cedar Rapids,
Neb.
The father had telegraphed ahead
and the pair were taken off the train
at seven this evening at Boone, Ia,
and will be held till Mr.. Bealer and
an officer arrive. The two claim
they were married here today, blt
careful inquiry fails to confirm their
statement.
BARNARD is farm hand and his
parents live in, Nebraska, He is 25
and the girl is just past IA. She wore
a decidedly short dress here today,
and looked extremely girlish.

ALMOST DROWNED IN A GRAVE
Hypnotist's Experiment at Avoca, la,
Nearly Ends Fatally.

Avoca, Sept. 15.-One of the attrac-
tions at the fair last week was a hyp-
motto entertainment The hypnotist
attempted the feat of burying a hyp-
nitized subject for a period of twenty
four hours, and at the end of that
time digging him up alive and well.
AS in all other such cases, pipe was
run from the surface of the ground
to the buried person, that he might
secure air. The burial had taken pace
and the subject had been under ground
for some time, when it was discovered
that a water barrel had overturned, or
had burst, and that the water had run
into the grave. When the discovery
was made there were several inches
of water around the subject, and it
was only by desperate digging that he
was rescued in time to prevent drown
ing.
