FOR A BENEFIT DISTRICT.
Movement to Form One to Build
Dykes Is Formally Inaugurated.

At the meeting held at the Lyman
school house Saturday night it was
voted to start a petition. and secure
signers, asking the county commits
sioners to declare a benefit district in
the country north of Soldier creek,
and have dykes built for the protec-
ton of the farmers in the vicinity of
Soldier creek.
A committee composed of w. S.
Dransfield, A. J. Ashpole and ]. An
derson was appointed to secure the
signers to the petition and to present
it to the board of commissioners. If
the dyke is built north of the creek
and another south of the creek then
the channel of Soldier creek must be
cleared out and deepened or another
outlet given to the water. For this
purpose the engineers in consultation
over the best plan of protecting the
flooded districts decided to recommend
ditch from Soldier creek to the
Kansas river, west of town, to relieve
the creek.

VENEZUELAN MUDDLE.
First Official Account Is Received
From Minister Bowen.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The first Of
fetal account of the Venezuelan gov
eminent in respect to the seizure of
the properties of the New York &
Bermudese Asphalt company has
come to the state department in a
rablegram from Minister Bowen at
caracas. Mr.. Bowen says that suit
was brought by the Venezuelan gov
eminent against the asphalt company
on the ground that 1t had failed to
carry out certain portions of its con-
cession. especially those requiring it
to dig canals, dredge channels in the
river and export other products than
asphalt. Because of the company S
failure in these matters the Venezue-
Ian government asked the court to or
der an embargo corresponding to the
appoint custodian or receiver. The
court granted this application, laid
the embargo and appointed A. H. Car
ner as custodian. He sailed on
Venezuelan warship for the nearest
port to the asphalt lakes before notice
of suit was served on the defendant
company. Minister Bowen explains
that while the statutes of Venezuela
authorize embargo proceedings such
as those in the case of leases. this
would scarcely apply to the New York
& 1;ermudese asphalt properties which
are held under concessions.
The custodian, Mr.. Garner, seized
these properties on the 9th ultino
and remains in possession. Prof

Lindsey of New York. as attorneys
the New York & Ber-
mudese company, called at the state
department today and had long con-
ference with Acting Secretary Loomis
and Solicitor Penfield in regard to the
protection of the company's interest
against such arbitrary proceedings as
those which have taken place. While
the asphalt company is an American
the bonds of the COM
pany are held to the extent of about
million dollars in England, giving the
British government the right to inter-
vene to protect its interests. Minister
Bowen is sending by mail detailed
statement of the events leading up to
the seizure and as the statedepartment
Is anxious to secure some further in
formation as to the complexities of
Venezuelan law fitting this case 1t
probably will await the mails before
moving further in the case.

SO SHOTS EXCHANGED.
Between an Armed Posse and Sus-
poets They Were Pursuing.

Detroit, Aug. IA Free Press spe-
cia1 from st. Joseph, Mich, says:
An armed posse is securing the
swamps near this city in search of a
suspect who is thought to be lying in
hiding MORALLY wounded. A pitched
battle took place between Deputy
Sheriff Detample and two suspects
who were complained of for an at
tempted assault. The deputy was
slightly wounded and nearly fifty
shots were exchanged, the two sus-
they escaped. One of them was ar
rested later when he ventured into
the city to secure aid for his COM
panion. He refused, however, to re-
veal the hiding place of the wounded
man.

Probably the most informal notifica-
ton of nomination ever made was that
which announced to George NJ. Dallas
his selection as vice president in 1874.
The committee reached Philadelphia at
o'clock in the morning, and went di-
rectly to the residence of Mr.. Dallas.
In response to the knocks that reused
him from sleep Mr.. Dallas opened his
window to see a party of gentlemen in
his front yard, among whom he recog-
nized Senator Robert J. Walker, later
Folks secretary of the treasury, and
father of the famous Walker tariff of

dressing gown and came down. unlock
ed the door and the party filed into
the unlit parlor in silence, ranging
themselves about the room. Dallas, ut
terly unaware of the cause of this ir-
ruption, went with Walker into the
back parlor and asked what it all
meant. Walker asked him to wait
moment. The folding doors were thrown
open and from the parlor, where lights
had been lit meanwhile, the chairman
of the delegation came forward and
told Dallas of his nomination. Ben:
Perley Poore, who tells the story in his
"reminiscences, says that Dallas replied
that he would make a formal reply
later by letter, and he then opened his
sideboard and all Joined in wishing
success to the ticket"

Tell Tale of Hardships on the Coast
of Africa.

New Bedford. Mass. Aug. lon
board the Portuguese steamer PENN
sular, which has arrived from Lisbon,
were Captain Joseph Enos and the
three mates of the whaling bark Presi-
dent, which was wrecked on the west
coast of Africa on May s.
The President struck about mid
night somewhere in the vicinity of
Port Alexandria, according to the
story told by Second Mate Barney.
After one boat had been smashed
and another had reached shore, ac-
cording to Mate Barney's tale, there
were ten men left on the sinking
President without any boat to leave
in. These ten finally embarked on
raft on which they fioated about for
six hours before those who had pre-
viously reached shore were able to
rescue them. A cask of bread came
ashore and a cask of canned good. so
there was plenty of food, but the par
ty was entirely without water.
They were 81 miles from Port Alex
andria and walked along the beach to
that place, where they reached after
three days intense suffering. Being
without shoes their feet were cut by
the shells on the beach and were
blistered by the heat of the sand. One
man was bitten by a poisonous eel
and died as the result of the wound.
The captains wife was one of the
party.
