Unconscious Ten Weeks From Bone
Pressing on Brain.
Dubuque, Iowa, Sept. 1S.-Rev. FIR.
John Mcguire, brilliant young priest
of Richland Center, Wis, has been in
an unconscious condition in local
hospital for the last ten weeks, and
his case puzzled the physicians. He
was brought to Dubuque three weeks
ago to undergo an operation, but be.
cause Of his condition the physicians
have deemed it prudent not to ope-
rate until he partially regains con-
seriousness. In answering a summons
to sick bed ten weeks ago Father
Mcguire fell down stairway and his
head struck against the wall at the
bottom. When found he was uncon-
scious, in which condition he still re-
mains. Eminent Chicago and Milwau
kee physicians were called in con-
sultation, and it was found that a
piece of the skull is pressing against
the brain.

case of the Dahls, father and daugh-
ter, who were murdered last spring at

that suspicion is directed against sew.
ersl Indians who were working on a
log drive at the mouth of the Dormant
river at the time of the murder. One
OF these Indians is said to have de-
clAred that ne Laew al about the de-
tails of t:ie MURDER OF both father and
daughter. According to his story the
murder was planned to secure $1,000
which the Indians heard Mr.. Dahl had
with him. This is the amount which
general rumor credited him with hav-
ing with him at his shanty. Neither
Sheriff Bailey nor County Attorney
Loud will say whether there is any
thing in the story.

groan and rose and loft the room. The thought was like the bangs of death. He went out into the streets and walked on and on, going he cared not whither, trying to kill the despair within him. Dark thoughts pursued him, but he threw them aside. He was soldier fighting black diversity, and he would fight-fght to the end. He had been walking half an hour when he came to the spacious grounds of the Dunleigh home. A carriage stood at the door. It was waiting for her-her! In a short while she would emerge dressed for the reception. Could he not wait there on the street and see her? No, for 1t was closed carriage, and she would be shut off from his view. But could he not, without be- ing seen, get nearer the door through which she would have to pass? The grounds were cnlighted, and there were many clusters and hedges Of shrubbery. The gate of the drive was open. He stole in and found a rustic seat behind hedge of rosebushes, where he could remain unseen. He had not long to wait. Mrs. Dunleigh and Mrs. Cranston came out and then Miss Cosby and Lydia. The two girls paused for moment under the great swinging lamp that hung from the ceiling of the veranda. Buckley held his breath as he looked upon her. He had never seen her in complete even ing dress before, and her rare beauty was revelation to him. She seemed to be at once the girl he knew and adored and yet another who was quite stranger to him.
 The coachman was holding the car rtage door open for her, and she swept down the steps and tho door closed upon her. The hoofs of she mettle- some horses ground into the pebbled drive as they whir1ed her away. Gone from hts sight into that of his despised rival! Buckley sank back on to the bench and clasped his cold hands. He remained there an hour and then slow ly retraced his steps down the beauti- full street. Soon the illumination at the executive mansion rose before him. The hum of many voices fell on his ear, blended with martial music. The trees on the lawn were hung with Chi- nese lanterns; from balcony overhead attendants were setting off costly fire works. On the very sky Telfare seem ed to be recording his triumph over his conquered foe. George walked on past the mansion into the reveling mass of humanity that swarmed about the prin- cipal hotels.

 "You think not?" said George tense ly.
 'No; he'll never be able to pay the expense of another campaign. He ruin ed what little law practice had when he went into politics, now he's bankrupt"
 "A bankrupt?" George exclaimed. "Why, thought he had unlimited means"
 "In a pigs valise,Y laughed Stone. T am intimate with the cashier of certain bank in this town and I had it straight that Telfare's got up the last bit of collateral he can raise for money he can't repay. Why he had to beg the bank for a little raise to give this reception Do you know, I suspected he was trying to marry for money May I ask if this Miss Cranston is an heiress?"
 She's an only child,'' said Buckley, reluctant to continue the conversation further, land her father is fairly we'll off"
 Perhaps" said Stone. "he's really daft about her." #r
 '"rhat must be it," George replied, and he closed the conversation by go- ing to work.
 By nightfall his task was finished, and he could have caught a train for Darley. but he felt a strange, half morbid disinclination to leave. He re- paired to his hotel, changed his cloth ing and went down to the crowded dining room, but the very gayety on every hand irritated him. He had no appetite for what was before him. All around him, at private tables, were gay parties of young people in evening dress. The music of fine orchestra came in from the rotunda. The aSr was niled with the perfume Of flowers. Never had the burden of his birth felt so heavy, never had he so keenly long, ed for the unattainable. He was in the lowest dregs of despair; he had be- gun to pity himself. Everybody else was having a holiday; no holiday could come to him while his own ia ther was bearing the scourge of the law, while the only things he craved were eluding his grasp.
 A little warmth came to his cold heart over the thought that Lydia Cranston cared for him, but it was swept away by the icy fear that, de- spite her regard for him, she was even then striving philosophically to put him out of her life. That striving had be gun with the acceptance of the recep- ton in her honor. The next step would be the formal announcement of her en- gagement to the governor, and then she would begin to look upon Telfarc Us her future 'hrsDand George stifled
