COLOMBIAN TROOPS MUTINY.
Serious Outbreak Among the Soldiers
at Carthauena.


Kingston, Jamaica, July ia let
ter received here from a prominent
merchant in Carthagena, Colombia,
reports a serious outbreak among the
Colombian troops in the outskirts of
that city last week. The soldiers
were dissatisfied and threatened to
desert. Monday they attempted to
break from their barracks and at
tackled their guards. A bitter, fight fol-
lowed in which seven of the guards
were killed outright and several were
wounded on both sides. The letter
further says a large number of mu-
tineers have escaped and it Is expect
ed they will join the rebels, and the
indication is that the revolution will
continue longer and with renewed
energy on the part of the rebels.
Another letter received by Clar-
ence, the refugee chief of the Mos
quito Indians, rports a collision
fortnight ago between Nicaraguan sol
diers and Mosquito Indians at place
called Haulover, where one Indian
and three soldiers were killed. The
soldiers withdrew, leaving three
wounded behind them.

TINE "CITY or ZION."
Divine Healer Dowie Starts the Boom
of His New Town,

Chicago, July 16.-John Alexander
Dowie, the divine healer" has begun
the sale of lots in his new City of
Zion" By this operation it is said
Dowie expects to reap fortune Of
t15,000,000.
Dowie, surrounded by his choir and
uniformed guards, told 5000 of his fol-
lowers of his plans, thus beginning a
10 days camp meeting and booming of
"Zion" real estate. He participated
only in the spiritual part of the pro-
granme, leaving the business matters
TO his manager, H. Worthington Judd.
The number of lots which changed
hands could not be learned.
The operation by which the "healer"
expects to gain a profit of $15,O0O,0OO
consists in the disposal of $500 acres
Of farming land, situated about seven
miles north of Waukegan and border
ing Lake Michigan. This tract, bought
on contracts at total cost of some
thing like $1,250,000, will be parceled
of to the faithful in city lots. Not an
acre of this land will be sold outright.
The leases will run for LOO years
and they contain clauses which pro-
vide for forfeiture in case of any of
the conditions being violated. Some
of these conditions are the sale of in
toxicating liquor, tobacco, pork, oys-
tiers and other foods named; the en-
ployment of physician or the use Of
drugs; the sub-letting Of the lots for
the use Of drug or butcher shops.
Dowie told his followers that he was
expecting to find the IL apostles re-
incarnate. He declared that he was
awaiting divine revelation as to who
they were, his first revelation having
simply informed him that they were
among his disciples.

THE SOUVENIR FREE PRESS.

The Souvenir edition of the Free
Press, distributed along the line of
parade Wednesday morning, went off
like shot cakes. "Seven thousand copies
were given away, the gross weight of
which was over 1000 pounds.
The issue is highly spoken of by all
who have seen it, and without seem
ing to be self-complimentary in our re-
marks, we really think it was little
the handsomest newspaper, represen-
tative of special occasion, ever issued
from newspaper press in the state.
In the stock used and labor performed
no expense was spared, and as an ad-
vertising medium for the business in
terests of the city, nothing like it has
ever before gone forth.
The Free Press feels itself we'll re-
paid, however, for the large outlay by
the many handsome compliments paid
it for the enterprise displayed, and for
the standing it will give our city
abroad where thousands of copies will
be sent.

the result last evening, but tonight's
issue contains the vote as will be

the former leading by comfortable
margin up to last week when the
friends of Miss Iceberg bestirred them
selves and pushed her an even thous-
and ahead of Miss Kelley in the final
count. Both ladies are popular teachers

CRIT cIZED BY MR.. BRYAN.
Does Not Like the Action of Ohio
Democratic Convention.

Lincoln, Neb., July 16.-In an ex-
tended comment on the platform
adopted by the Ohio Democratic con-
vention w. j. Bryan criticizes the con-
vention for its failure to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform and what he re-
CARDS as the weakness of some OF the
planks 1t did adopt. Mr.. Bryan insists
making himself (Bryan) an issue and
says:
"Mr. Bryan is not candidate for
any office and a mention of him might
have been construed by some as an
endorsement of him for office. The
vote should have been upon the naked
proposition to endorse the platform OF
last year and then no one could have
excused his abandonment of Demo
cratic principles by pleading his dis
like for Mr.. Bryan"
Referring to the platform he con-
tinues:
"The convention not only failed,
but refused to endorse or reaffirm the
Kansas City platform, and from the
manner in which the gold element has
rejoiced over this feature of the con-
vention one would suppose that the
main object of the convention was not
to write new platform, but to repu-
diate the one on which the last ma
tional campaign was fought.
'The gold papers assume that the
convention refused to adopt the Kan
sas City platform because it contained
a silver plank. If so, 1t would have
been more courageous to have de-
clared openly for the gold standard.
If the gold standard is good, it ought
to have been endorsed-if bad, 1t
ought to have been denounced. To
ignore the subject entirely was mex
cusable.
"The money question is not yet out
Of politics. Every session Of congress
will have to deal with 1t. Republicans
declare that it is dead, but they keep
working at It."
Mr.. Bryan comments on parts of the
platform, especially those referring to
state and municipal affairs. He en-
dorses the nominees of the convention
and urges their support.

A GOOD SCORE.
Minnesota Gets 96.75 at Buffalo Exposi-
ton for June Butter.

st. Paul, July 17.-Dairy and Food
Commissioner Mcconnell received from
Buffalo the result of the score on the
June butter at the exposition. There
were thirty nine tubs of butter from
Minnesota and the score averaged 80
3S-1OO. Trout creamery, Meeker county
carried off the lead in the Minnesota
exhibit and scored SO. 70. This is re-
markable score, when the great heat
of the past three weeks and the dis
lance which the butter had to be trans
ported is taken into consideration.
Minnesota has again demonstrated her
ability as a great butter producing
state.

Conley s. McTague, the prison con
tractors, have sent the attorney general
a large photograph of Cuthbert McGillis,
the Saskatchewan Indian, who is serving
a term OF n year in the penitentiary
Those who know the Indian pronounce
it an excellent likeness of him. He is
part French, has piercing black eyes
and carries his 81 years as sprightly as
many men half that age. His hair is
perfectly white. McGillis is described
as about five feet eight inches in height,
weighs 23G, and is a perfect specimen of
man hood.
Upon the occasion of the visit of the
prison commission at the p~enitentiary
recently, Governor Toole talked with
McGillis regarding the treatment he re-
ceived. The prisoner said there was
