Without attempting to be exnet, ai to

Walter N Allen, now the dole surviving
I'opulNt member of the state board of char

JelTerson comity. Jim Lane was n resident
of Lawrence, poor us the poorest, and eking
out a Forrowful evlstetice at nti thing vvhlrh
cime to his hand. Allen had caused the
arrest of four free statu men on the ohnrge
of stealing some hogs from the Delaware
Indian reservation, where they were being
held and fed by their owneis, three r.ibld
pro-sl ivory men. Ho had 11 mire case
against tho accused. In fact, there was
absolutely no defense, ns the thieves had
been caught red handed In th net, and he
full cpi ted a plea of guilty. To his sur
prise, when tho court met ut 9 o'clock In
the morning of the day of the trial, the
defend mts filed an allldavlt In which they
related that they lnd not been able to se
cure an attorney and asked for a contin
uance until 7 o'clock that night. This was
readily gi anted by the old justice of the
peace, nun Prosecutor Allen retired to the
one hotel In Oskaloosa to Impatiently wait
tho coming of that hour. South of Oski
loosa there Is a long, sloping pralrlo across
which a view may be had for more thnn
live miles. Sitting on the rude porch In
fiont of the hotel at a late hour In the
afternoon. .Mr. Allen was lighting Hies and
Inwardly fermmting at the nudacltj of
hog thieves who would demand a trial,
when ho descried a solitary footman la
boriously tr.ivei sing the prairie Hume miles
nwai. Ho watched the slow appio.ieh of
the man until he hid almost reached tho
hotel, vi hen he suddenly recognUed the
wajfaret as Jim Lane, and sprang up to
give him a stu prised weleomu. And his
surprise was gituler still when the gencinl
Informed him that he had come all the
wav from Lawicnce on foot to defend the
hog thlevts.
Jt was soon noised about that Jim Line
was to appear at the trial. I'eopie be
gan to gnihei until from far and wide the
settlement assembled to appear to hear the
great free statu leader. The hour of trial
came on apace. Prosecutor Alb 11 sub
mitted his chain of testlrnonj. General
Lane did not deign to cross-examine
a single witness. It was shown
that the four men had stolen the
hoxs and killed them, even peddling the
m.at uround among tho settler,thus de
priving themselves of the plea of necessity
as an extenuation. Through all of the pios
pcutlon, (Jeiicial Lane sat calm and se

Viigina twist and smiling occasionally In
a renssuiing manner nt the prlsoneis, who
appeared to be growing desperate over the
lnexplluible indifference of their attorney.

Lane io-o and In gentle torn stated that

Unbuttoning the cowsUIn coat, which en
sbiouded his emaciated llgme, he drew
fiom an Inner pocket a pupi r, which he
held aloft and F.ald. "Jf the 1 ourt pit ise, I
have here the olllcl.il poll list of the last

The Chinese are getting the most of tho

activity of the government oltlelals. It
Seems that tho revolution adopted by con

purposis of the Chinese village of Chinese
men and women, but no limit was pirn ed
on the liumbii. It was not until the wiles
told of tho arrival of -'. on the Pailllo
coast that the goverumint nlllclals awoke
to the fact that all legislation for exclus
ion of Chine"" In the United States had
been prnctkullv repented, and that the
holder of the franchise could carry on
the business of Importing laboteis to his
heart's lontcnt. It was then lee.illed that

ceived lapoileis nt his olllcc, lu the Grand
Ctiitral depot, nnd gave nil extended In
terview upon the politics of Kiiiope, upon
lilsi trip, and a miracle which he witnessed
at tunnies'. Mr. Depevv nld something of
a sensation was stirred up among Anglo
maniacs by an Interview which he gave to
tho London papers. One of the qucstlont
was, "What Is the American Idea of home
rule, and how generally arc Americans of
onv mind upon that subject?" Speaking ot
this Mr. Depew mid: "My answer was
Mibstnntlnlly thnt home rule Is the corner
stone of our Institutions, ami our people
tire practically nuiiilmoiis on the subject;
that there never had been nny division
among us as to home rule for Ireland, nnd
we could not understand tho real or man
ufactured fears- of the adoption ot the
policy leading to the disruption of the
British empire. On the contrary, we
thought the adoption of the federative
principle would beneilt Unglund, Iielund,
Scotland, Wnlot and the colonies; that we
were heartll lu favor of English speaking
people leading the world and willing that
the Hrltlsh empire should have the llist
placo In the affairs, of Hut-ope, Asia, Africa
and Australia, but that we would neither
consent nor permit the control or oc dilu

of America.

Great interest should to-day
center in this exhibition for
have we tot exhibited here the

idea of the number and beauty
of these handsome Dress Fabrics
is to sec them as they tire to-day
