FLED BEFORE MOB.
American Officer From San Luis Po-
tosi Had Close Call.

Quarantine, La, May 13.-Dr. Ed
ward W. Ryan and Wilbur L. Bon
ney, American consul at San Luis Po-
tosi. were among 1872 American refu-
gees arriving on the Moro Castle to-
day DR.. Ryan has been reported as
connected with the American Red
Cross and was imprisoned at Zacate-
cas-. Consul Bonney and his wife
fed the country after remaining in
hiding eight days at the home of the
British consular agent at San Luis
Potosi
AS soon as the Moro Castle con-
forms to quarantine regulations she
will be taken to New York and pre-
pared to handle American troops. 1t.
E. T. Finney, detached from the Kan
sas, is aboard the steamer and will go
to New York with the vessel.
Consul Bonney said that on April
22, the day the Americans landed at
Vera Cruz, that mob surrounded
the consulate and threatened Amerl-
cans inside. They destroyed the door
way of the building and took three
American flags to the plaza where
they spat upon them and then tore
them into shreds. He said that he
fed with Mrs. Bonney to the home
of the British consul, where they hid
for eight days.
DR.. Ryan, who was a prisoner OF
the Mexicans for several days and
released only after the United States
had made urgent representations in
his behalf, refused to discuss the sit
uation, saying he would report moth
ing until he had reached Washing
ton. DR.. Ryan was supposed to be
on the Esperanza, which arrived on
Monday. He boarded that vessel at
Puerto, Mexico, but left it at Vera
Cruz.

CHICAGO AND BOSTON TALE.
Concerning the Namesake of the Man
Swallowed by Whale.

| Jonah, Martin B., came to Chicago
Yesterday. Two Pinkerton detectives
played the role of the whale.
This is the revised story of Jonah
as writ in the Book of Politicians.
1t came to pass that there was in
the wicked city, which is Chicago,
one Martin B. Jonah. In Jonah's
pockets, of shekels there was none.
One day Jonah betook himself into
the park of Lincoln, which is by the
| waters of the lake of Michigan. Gen
tlemen and ladies of high station
passed by and saw him not. They
passed him afoot and in the carriages
which are horseless.
Jonah looked upon the wealth
which was not his. Then he saith
with disgust, "Verily am boob.
Superabundant shekels have they who
pass me by, while 1, accursed one, am
bereft of all things. Why is this
thus? Am l my brothers keeper
who cannot keep myself? Verify the
Lord helpeth those who help them
selves" t
Then up spake conscience: THE
way of the transgressor is paved with
rocks. Go thou brother, and turn
thy hand to honest work"
Then up rose Jonah and smote con-
science. Shaking his legs, he betook
himself straightway to the Midcity
Trust and Savings Bank, which is
by the parting of the ways at Madi-
son and Halsted streets.
To the chief counter of shekels he
spoke after this manner: Il have
here a check for $3.50. Please cash
it,
And 10, it was done. And it came
to pass that a few days later the
man whose name was writ upon the
check became exceeding wrathful. He
begot an idea. Forthwith he took it
to the tribe of Pinkertons.
Much hunting was made for Jonah.
At last he was discovered in the
city of Boston, which, the prophets
saith, is in a foreign land and rests
upon a hill made of the writings of
one Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Thence Jonah was returned to
Chicago, which is by the lake. And
when the prison with its bars had
closed upon him he repented of his
wickedness and saith: "Wherefore,
oh wherefore, did l smite conscience
| when it whispered?"
Jonah was bound over to the grand
jury. Verify the way of the trans
| gressor is hard!-Chicago Record

A Glimmer of Reason.

The grounds around the asylum
for the insane were beginning to be
beautiful. Two women patients
strolled across the broad stretch of
lawn and seated themselves on rus
tic bench near large lilac bush. For
a long time neither spoke. Both
seemed to be absorbed in thought. At
last one of them yawned and said:
''Oh, pshaw. I'm going back in
side"
"Why?" the other asked. Its
very pleasant out here"
What does pleasant place
amount to if there's no man around?''
You'll not be staying in this insti-
tuition much longer, will you?'
"Why?"
you're talking sense. .'-Chicago

The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to
the fact that the little kidney troubles
are usually neglected until they be-
come serious. The slight symptoms
often give place to chronic disorders
and the sufferer may slip gradually in
to some serious form of kidney com
plant.
If you suffer from backache, head
ache, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural In appearance, do not de-
lay. Help the kidneys at once.
Dean's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thou.
sand people have recommended them.
Here is one of many cases in this

A BIT OF INTEREST
ING LOCAL HISTORY
Hon. Charles Aldrich Tells of the
Naming Of the County of
Hamilton.

Hon. Charles Aldrich, than whom
no man who ever resided in Hamil-
ton county was better qualified to
speak upon the subject discussed,
explained in the Freeman OF Feb
ruary /, 1886, the way this county
happened to be named Hamilton.
The following item was cut out OF
the paper at the time by Freeman
subscriber and thinking it of enough
historical Importance to re-publish
he brought it to the Freeman-Trib-
une office:
In a recent number of The Free
man I have read a discussion about
the source of the name of our coun-
ty. If any sort of doubt shall ever
arise the matter ought to be placed
upon some permanent record. 1t was
certainly so named in honor of Hon
w. w. Hamilton, of Cascade, Du'
buque county. The Freeman says
w. C. Wilson was Gin the legisla'
ture when the bill passed" setting
this county apart from old Webster
which had territory enough fol
three counties. But this does moi
go far enough, and desire to SEE
Justice done fully. Not only wa

GIRLS TAKE THEIR
initial HIKE
The Campfire Girls, Accompanied by
Their Guardian, Take a r'
Tramp to the Woods.

Campfire Girls to the number OF
thirteen, accompanied by their guar
dian, Miss Hazel Sells, went on their
first hike yesterday a. m. The girls
met at the school grounds at 6 a. m.
and from there took to the woods,
the H. B. Mckee farm being their
objective point. Having reached
this place hot breakfast was pre-
pared in true campers style and the
morning jaunt had so sharpened the
appetites that roasted weinies tast-
ed good to the girls; other substan-
ials and plenty of fruit supplemented
this repast. Several of the girls en-
joyed wading in the White Fox
creek, and as the route home varied
somewhat from the outward path,
and the girls fingered to enjoy the
sights and sounds in the woods, the
party did not reach their homes un-
til 1880 a. M, tired no doubt, but
well pleased with their first hike.

ated havoc in prices of food pro-
ducts and wheat is going up rapidly.
The Touring mills have added $1.10
per barrel to the price of flour, but
the increase here in Webster City
thus far has been only ten cents a
sack. However, Webster City
merchant informs the Freeman-Trib-
une that the late ten cent increase
in the price of flour on this market
will soon give way to larger ad-
vance. Retail merchants cannot
long sell at the lower figures. 1t
would be wise for consumers to lay
in small supply before further ad-
vances and thus prevent the expense
account from advancing too rapidly.

much in evidence. The local band
added to the entertainment and the
way Frank Satter, Geo. Bennett and

curiosities from out of town we OBJ
