The Supreme Court of Nebraska has decided that when usurious in terest has been paid by the borrower he can recover double the amount of interest so paid. An English paper tells its readers that "Harrison seems to be elected to the Federal Presidency but Mr. Depew will be president of the Hud son River Division." After the first of next January the mode of inflicting capital punish ment in New York state will be by electricity, as a substitute for the barbarism of hanging. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad bridge across the Missouri at Sioux City, Iowa, has been opened to traffic. I was formally opened with an^ropriate exercises December 15. An attempt will be made this win ter to have the Illinois legislature submit a constitutional amendment to the people prohibiting the manu facture and sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors. An old ledger of the sixteenth cen tury has been resurrected at Edin burgh, Scotland. At the top of the inside board the book-keeper in scribed the words: "God blis this buik and keip me and it honest." Every day that the sun rises upon the American people it sees an ad dition of $2,500,000 to the accumula tion of wealth in the United States, which is equal to one-third of the daily accumulation of all mankind outside the United States. The ice palace at St. Paul, Minn., I he coming winter will be an elabor ate structure. The outside measure ments are 212 by 252 feet, and the maze, which will be the most intri cate yet built in connection with an ice palace, covers about 100 feet square. One tower will be 40 feet -^a diameter and 110 feet high. The meanest man in Kansas has been found. He lives in Reno county, and in writing to the treasurer ot Sedgwick county he used a postal card that had done duty once before, spending nearly three hours in effac ing the old address, postmark and message. The postal is to be framed an3 hung in the treasurer's office. Say the population is 0^,300,000 and, the expenditures for the last fis cal year $260,000,000 in round num bers, it costs $4.20 a year per head of population, straight-haired, wool ly-haired, flaxen haired and bald headed, to run the government and enjoy the liberty which we all swear is tyranny when the other follows getthe offices. A large chicken hawk, a few days ago. flew down into the yard of a citi zen of Cartersville, Ga., in the thick liest settled portion of the town. Seizing its prey, a good sized chicken it was preparing to bear it off in its talons when a lad of the family rushed to the scene with a broom and with a blow, broke the prowler's wings. I attempted to fly, but fail ing, darted into the dwelling, where it was soon caught. Mrs. Kate Chase has almost drop ped out of public notice during the last few years. She is still as brilliant in conversation,^ beautiful in man ners, and exquisitely cultivated as in the old days when she was the proud daughter of the chief justice of the United States, the unrivaled queen of Washington society, whose good word was a passport to social recognition. Her ambitious mar riage with the young millionaire Rhode Island senator was the be gining of all her subsequent troubles. She was so much superior to him in mind, manners, and in everything which makes human beings superior to the animal creation, that unhap pinesswasthe natural and certain result of such a uniori 1 %l w*t .-illSt^ '?mi W "THE HEWS RESUME. f&Jl The Cream of the ffews Gleaned From the Latest Associated Press Tele grams. "r'° -«•Abont Washington. **jw^ #&, Action has been taken by Secretary Whit ney which leaves no doubt as to the policy of of this government with regard to the case of the American steamer Haytian Republic, recently seized at Port an Prince, Hayti. The release of the vessel has been demanded through proper diplomatic channels, and if the demand is not complied with within a reasonable period of time steps will be taken to enforce it. With this end in view, Secretary Whitney sent telegraphic instructions to Rear Admiral Gerhardi, commandment of the New York navy yard, to have the ships Richmond, Galena and Yantic prepared for sea as rapidly as possible. The position taken by this government is understood to be that as the Haytian authorities deferred the ambitration of the case to this govern ment, they are virtually bound by its decis ion, and that when they were informed by this government that they had no legal right to seize and detain the Haytian Republic they should have accepted the situation and re raised the vessel. The Casualty Calendar. The central state normal school building in Lock Haven, Pa., was totally destroyed by fire. One hundred boarding students, most of whom were in the building at the time, were safely removed. The building was of brick, four stories high andeost$150, 000. The amount of the insurance is said to be small. The total number of students in attendance was over two hundred. Many of them lost their books, clothes and valu ablett. An accident occurred on the Dudley branch of the Huntington & Broadtop railroad in Pennsylvania whereby more than a dozen persons were seriously injured. The more seriously injured are Airs. Allen Black, John Dougherty, John Bollinger, Ed. F.

Norman, the seven-year-old son of the late auditor, L. 0. Storla, of Moorhead, Minn., has been missing. When last seen he was playing shinny on the ice on the Red river. It is believed he fell in one of the numerous open places in the ice and was drowned. One small boy who played with Norman said he saw him in the morning and that his clothes were wet and full oficicles. It is thought that the boy telling this story knows more about the lost boy but fears to tell, thinking he will be blamed. There is little hope that Noman Storla will ever be seen again alive. Talk About People. Madame De Forest.an aunt of Mrs. William K. Yanderbilt, has suddenly disappeared. Her relatives and friends have vainly en deavored to locate her, but she does no re ply to any of the letters sent to her.if, indeed, she receives them.

Mr. Phelps, the American minister, at teded the banquet of the Turners company in London. In replying tofhe toast of "Our Visitors," Mr. Phelps said that the great and everlasting ties that bound England and America depends upon the great heart of the two peoples. Treaties were of small con sequence and diplomacy had seen its best days. It was upon the sentiment of the people that the harmony of the two coun tries most depended. Mr. Phelps was much applivudeiL SirCbarlcs Tupper also responded to thetoast. Petty Criminalities. A robbery of $240,000 has been discovered in the government deposit bank at Madrid", Spain. The robbers are unknown, and the time of the robbery cannot as yet be definite ly fixed. A brace of foot pads slugged a man named J. E. Lind on the bridge over the Sioux river in Sioux Falls, Dak. One of the robbers struck him on the head with a slugshot while the other seized him by the throat, but he succeeded in shaking them off and crying for help, when the villiansleft without any booty. An attempt was made in Brandon, Mani toba to circulate a petition asking for clem ency for Webb, the wife murderer, under sentence to hang Dec. 29. but met with little success. The prisoner takes the matter cool ly, and appears resigned to his fate. The case of the state of Iowa, vs. Mrs. Julia Billings, growing out of sensational Kingsley-Billings murder case at Waverly last winter, has been transferred to the Wa terloo (Blackhawk) district, in answer to an application for a change of venue on the grouud of popular prejudice. In a cheap restaurant in Bermondsey street in London, a man made an unpro voked attack upon the landlord's daughter and cut her throat so seriously that she is not expected to recover. Toe affair has created great excitement ia the neighbor hood as the criminal is supposed to be "Jack the Ripper." Frank ifnoblock a pro minentGerman and the treasurer of the International Brewing company, of Buffalo. N. Y., is found to be $3,250 short in his accounts. Knobloch's sureties will be called on for the amount of the shortage. The brewing company says i£ does not desire to prosecute Knobloek, and it is likely that the matter will be dropped. About two weeks ago 20 oftheleading business men of Coldwater, Kansas, went down into the Indian territory on a hunting expedition. Word has been received that the whole party has been captured near Camp Supply and are now awaiting transportation to Wichita, where they will be held to answer the charge of trespassing in the Indian terri tory. A White Cap notice was left at Thomas Casey's saloon at Lima. Ohio notifying him that unless he vacated the building within twenty-four hours it would be burned to the ground.

John Martin, an engineer of Chicago mar ried, fell desperately in love with Mrs. W. S Merrill, his landlady, and knowing that his love was unrequitted, shot her and then killed himself. B. W. Merrill and MB wife have kept the boarding house for several years. Among their boarders was Martin, and ever since his arrival in the house, over a year ago, he has professed the greatest love for Mrs. Merrill. His importunities at last became unbearable, and eo she ad vised him to leave. After pleading with her not to send him away, and finding her de termined he shot her and then himself. Mrs. Merrill died in the afternoon. $*• David L. Fotheringham, thf 'Adams Ex press messenger, who was robbed of $35, 000 by Frederick Witrock, in Octobar, 1885 and who wus arrested for complicity in the affair, settled with the express com pany nt St: Louis for $8,300. After the rob bery Fotheringham was held a prisoner at the Southern hotel for three weeks, and sub sequently indicted and placed in jail. The trial of Witrock established the messenger's innocence. He sued for $60,000 and received a judgement for $20,000. This was cut down by the court to $12,000. -The ex. press company showed an inclination to fight farther, but finally compromised on $8,300, which was paid to Fotheringham. In the trial of John H. Bauereisen, chief of the alleged Bnrlington dynamite conspira tors, the jury panel was completed at Gene va, 111. John Alexander Bowles, who it is said, was a conspirator and one of the squealers, was put on the witness stand as the first and most important witness. Bowles testified that he went to work as an engineer for the Burlington March 22, 1888, and was persuaded to quit by his brother April 4. He joined the Brotherhood and was employed by Bauereisen to buy dynamite and place it on the tracks, and also to buy vitriol and ammonia to put in water tanks and dose engines, fe^Vj ^fSyj^lf* "I have been sleeping with a.''corpse for three days without knowing it." said a tramp to William Steele a mdkman, living on the Scotch Planus road near Plainfield, N. J. A hay barrack, owned by Steele, had been the tramp's bed for several night*, and every time he lay down or got up he noticed that a strange bedfellow lay by his side seemingly sound asleep. Then he found that the stran ger was dead, and that he had evidently been so all the time. County Physician Westcott was notified. Underaker Patrick Casey removed the corpse to the morgue in Plainfield. On the body was a paper bearing the name "Wm. Taylor." A sailor's jacket, marked "Dauntless" was one of the dead man's garments. The man's arm and hands were tatoed. The tramp is under arrest. It seems that the disturbances at Bevier, Mo., where the serioue riot occurred on the night of the 5th, are by no means settled. It is said that when any of the strikers at Bevier go elsewhere to work they are refused work if it is known that they come from Bevier and bolong to the labor confederation there. As long as the strike is continued at Bevier these strikers receive support from the state state refuses to interfere armed men will go to Bevier, and the people will soon have more men killed there than they will be willing to buy coffins for. The disarming of both sides at Bevier seems to be a hard thing to do. Gen. Jamison says the only way it can be done is for the governor to declare the town under martial law. A later dispatch says Gov. Moorhous* has ordered out the militia. Harry Nowak, a peddler, aged 25 years, was stabbed and killed at New York by Giovani Genoa, a workman in a shoe store which Nowak had entered, and who had gotten into a quarrel with the peddler. He became enraged because Nowak spoke to the 12-year-old daughter of Genoa's em ployer, and chuckled her under the chin say ing, "You are a pretty child." Genca seized a hammer and attacked Norwak. Then, throwing the hammer away he caught up & shoemaker's knife and stabbed Nowak three times, twice in the neck, severing the jugular vein, and once in the heart. Nowak ran out of the door and fell dead. The police are hunting for Genoa. P. B. Long of Georgetown, Ohio, has re ceived a White Cap warning, addressed to the citizens of Georgetown. As usual, it is writ ten in red ink, with a picture of whips drawn at the top of the letter. The warning reads as follows: To the Citizens of Georgetown: We want to say now, that if they don't quit making threats of what they will do if we come to your town we want to say now, we will burn every house in the place. The ex hibition of the night of the 3d (courthouse fire) is not to be thought of in connection with what we will do, lor we must succeed at any cost. So take warnings and you will have less use for your engines. The letter is dated at Mount Oreb, which is believed to be the center ofthe White Caps organization, its signature is similar to that of the other letters received. For a number of months past the night trains on the Illinois Central have been fired on from a point near Storm Lake, Iowa, and one night Brakeman Ed. Wright was shot, narrowly escaping a fatal wound, this fright ened the culprits, who, betraying themselves by their actions, were arrested by Special Detective Smith. The offenders were two boys, Charles Blake, aged nineteen, and George Smith, aged fourteen. They Imme diately confessed their guilt, but each charges that the other fired the shot that struck Wright. Since the arrest they have taken the matter calmly, andIgije HQ reason but a dfMi'e foreran* Blake's home is at Storm Lake and he helongs to a respectable and well-to-do family. Smith lives in Sioux Falls, Dak., and has been visiting Blake. The railway company has an intention of making an example of the boys and demand the greatest punishment allowed by law. Foreign Gleanings The hope that the man arrested in Ken tucky would prove to be the much sought Tascott, the supposed murderer of the late A. J. Snell of Chicago, has been dashed by the receipt of a telegram from Lyons saying that the suspected prisoner has been released. The German reichstag adjourns on Dee. 15 and will reassemble about the middle of January. The Critical situation in East Africa, where the Arabs are effectually wiping out the German colonists and clearing the ter ritory of every vestige of the German regime, will force more ample explanations of Ger many's policy than the"chancellor intended. Count Herbert Bismarck, since his return from Frledrichsruhe, has maintained a re serve regarding the plans of his father, giv ing evasive replies to the "feelers" privately put to him by friends in the reichstag. It is reported that the chancellor may yet relieve Count Herbert of the responsibility of mak ing explanations and come himself to the reichstag to disclose his scheme for the resi toration of German influence. Other Sews Jottings. A meteoric stone, Weighing about 140 pounds, has been found near Ellsworth, Wis., twelve miles from Red Wing, Minn. It has evidently fallen very recently, as the ground under it was covered with fresh leaves. It is of a whitish appearance^ somewhat resem bling alum. Judge Rucker is reported as having said: This matter between Blackburn and myself is at an end, for I have received letters from all over the country, and, after giving them my earnest consideration, I have come to the conclusion that Blackburn's last letter was really an apology, which puts an end to the affair. Roger C. Spooner of Ma dison has been designated by the governor of Wisconsin Hon. Charles Beardsley of Burlington by the governor of Iowa, and Capt. W. M. Braden of St. Paul by the governor of Minnesota to represent these states on the committee on civic organizations in the inauguration cere monies at Washington on the 4th of March. Advices from the Indian Territory says that the interior department has notified the Cherokees, that the Cherokee "Strip is the property of the United States, and that the Indians have no right to lease it. The strip contains 6,000,000 acres of grazing land. Recently the Cherokee legislature, sitting at Tanlequan, passed a bill leasing the strip to a stock syndicate, at $200,000 yearly forjive years. ,\ *. Dr. Nathan R! Gorter docketed suit in the superior court of Baltimore against Robert Garrett, claiming $30,000. Thesuitis stated to be based on a claim for $25,000 for pro fessional services during his trip1, around the world. Dr. Gorter was with Mr. Garrett for eight months, and his bill, before being pres ented for payment, was submitted to two eminent physicians of who agreed that it was a proper charge. The^biU^was Refused pay ment, hence the suit. "fiJkl^%4^& ,%^-t. A foot ball game at the naval academy at Annapolis between the naval students and the St. John's college team was played with much excitement but at its close a very un usual scene occurred. About thirty college boys, ranging in age from twelve to twenty, grouped together and showed their delight at the second defeat that their club had given the cadets this season. The cadets were nn gered by the same result, and, maddened by the college cries and taunts of opponents, about one hundred of the former formed in a 6olid phalanx and marched down and at tacked the college boys and a regular battle ensued. State Dairymen's Association. At the annual meeting of the State Dairy men's Association at Faribault, Minn. Mr John F. Ames, of Northfield, said: He •believed the dairy cow was the salvation o7 •many Minnesota farms. Care should be •exercised in the feed of the cow. She should 'also be treated considerately. No dog had yet been invented suitable 'to drive dairv fcows. The cow's feed in wiuter should con sist of good hay, sheaf oats, some ensilage perhaps, and plenty of warm water. She should not be kept in a place where water will freeze. It is a good scheme to have a -well in or near the barn where the water can' be pumped and distributed to the cows without turning them out. It doesn't pay to kick a cow or strike her with the milking stool. It causes a de crease in the quantity of milk. He would not classify a cow as a good cow, which would not nether owner $60 a year. "Do you notice any peculiar odor about the milk when you are feeding ensilage?!' asked Dairy Commissioner Ives. "No, none whatever," said Mr. Ames. A long series of questions followed on the proper feed for the cow, and then Mr. C. Le Vesconte, of Hastings, an importer and breeder of Jersey cattle, gave a talk on "Ropy Milk." The speaker simply related his expenence,without suggesting any rem edy, for he said he had seen in none of the books or papers an explanation ofthe trouble. J. H. Monrad, of Chicago then read a paper on the "Daries of America as Compared with Those of Europe." Mr. Monrad is a German and a jolly good fellow, who is the life of the party when the. convention is not in session. He thought that the best creamery men in Europe might learn to hustle a little from Americans, while Americans might learn from foreigners attention to details Cheese is more of a feature in dairy work in Europe, and a demand is made for it by making a large variety of the goods to suit all tastes. He would not speak against the factories, but he thought the best results could be at tained in private factories. Co-operative creameries in Denmark are worked quite suc cessfully. He advised that the butterinaker in large dairies be given a share ofthe profits —let him haA-e an interestin the business. He then read an extract from his diary written in Holland, in which he described a creamery in Holland, which was a combination of sta ble and dairy, so clean that the cheese were being cured in the same room where the cows were being kept. The paper was one of the most entertaining of the session. It was followed by a talk by A. Van Hammert on dehorning cattle. THE RESOLUTIONS. Chairman Lampman, ofthe resolution com mittee, read the following report, which was adopted by sections: We reassert all the main planks in theDlat form heretofore adopted by the territorial alliance. Believing that the entire financial system of our nation is controlled in the in terests of capitalists, we theiefore emphati cally condemn the organization of trusts and combinations for unnaturally raising prices of manufactured articles, reducing values of farm products, monopolizing transportation and improperly controlling our God-given fuel supply second, again recognizing the direful effect of usury as practiced, we ask for the passage of strict usury laws. Resolved, That we ask the council and house of representatives to pass a bill making it unlawful and a penal offense to manufac ture, import or sell intoxicating liquor in the Territory of Dakota, believing that such a law would be of incalcuable benefit and to the interest and happiness of all the people of Dakota. Third—Believing the people of North and South Dakota will be soon called upon to take action in framing and adopting constitutions for their respective states, we deem it of great importance that the people, especially the farmers of Dakota, be fully alive to the importance of standing ready and united to see that the framing of those constitutions be entrusted to tried and true men who will engraft into said constitutions the right of the people to control all corpora tions which may use or are using the right of eminent domain. Whereas, we have noticed with alormingso jjcitude tli&J under the present system a Vot ing conniption and fraud is posbible, and very often practiced to the detriment of the peoples right. We do most emphatically urge the engrafting into the constitution the imperative provision adopting principles known as the Australian system of voting we also favor the control, ownership and working of mineral lands by the government we respectfully recommend that the conven tion put itself on record as opposed to the government'selling any more coal land, and in lieu thereof to lease such in limited quali ties to parties desiring to work the same on conditions prescribed by the government for the equal privileges of all. We deem it for the best interests of the people of the North west. Resolved, That North Dakota be admitted to the Union as soon asjpractieablejunder the constitution to be framed by her people, and that the dividing line be the seventh stand ard parallel. Resolved, That we extend the right hand of fellowship to the Knights of Labor in the territory and invite their co-operation in re lieving the farmer and laborer from the bur dens and oppressions under which they now suffer. Resolved, That all officers of the territory appointed by the president should receive no comper* sat'on. direct ot indirect, than that provid'ra by the general governjin-n-p: Resolved, That we believe* the alliancework has been directed under the present manage ment ill an able and satisfactory manner, arid that we heartily endorse this action. The following additional resolutions, upon which the committee was divided, were re ported without recommendation: Firtt, that exemption laws should be modi fied and limited second, that a law be en acted making notes and contracts void when obtained through iraaid though in the hands of innocent parties third, that the executive committee be requested to take steps to in sure the dissemination among the people of Dakota of information concerning the work of the legislature fourth, the members of this commuttfeee irom South Dakota, believing that there -si«e not sufficient safeguards in the Sioux Fdllfc 'constitution to fully protect us against 'cWporate greed, we favor the framing of anew constitution. The second and third resolutions were adopted and the fourth laid on the table. After discussion I S. Lampman inti oduced a resolution lequesting the legislatuie to de vise some means to assist destitute farmers who had no crop this year to secure seed wheat for next spring carried. For the place of the next annual meeting Aberdeen, Redfield, Watertown and Huron were placed in nomination Aberdeen was chosen. Proposed Union with Canada, Representative Butterworth of Ohio is very enthusiastic for commercial union be tween this country and Canada. He has devoted much thought to this subject, and has formed a definite plan by which bethinks that this union can be accomplished. This plan he has embodied in the following joint resolutions which he introduced in the house at Washington. Whereas, The citizens of the dominion of Canada are one with us in race, lineage, his tory and tradition and, whereas, the re sources of the two countries supplement each other, and the arteries of commerce, both nat ural and artificial, are so interlocked and mu tually dependent upon each other that they ought to constitute a single system, to be one and inseparable and whereas, the commercial relations between the United States and the dominion of Canada are, and have been, strained and unnaturally cramped and in a measure paralyzed, owing to the inability of the two governments to establish such a system of international trade and com merce between them as is essential to meet the requirements ofthe situation and where as, the conditions and relations before re ferred to, as also the geography of the two countries, suggest the impossibility of a just and permanent settlement of the controver sies pertaining to thefisheries,bounderies and transcontinental trades, except by blending ofefforts, and interests, nnder one governmen tal system, and point logically to the necessi ty and probability of a unity and assimilation between the two nations nnder one govern ment and whereas, the bonds of sympathy resulting from kinship, race, language, tra dition and substantial identity of govern mental systems, together with a community of interests, based upon commerce and its aids and agencies, are of such a character that such union and assimilation is being discussed and favorably considered by the citizens of both nations, and, inasmuch as it is believed that its early consummation would be of great advantage to all citizens and subjects of the two countries, provided the same can be attained in a manner con sistent alike with the honor and dignity of the United S+ates and Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada. Therefore, with a view to aid in the consummation of what is herein before suggested, be it. Resolved, That the president be and is hereby authorized and empowered to invite negotiations looking to the assimilation and unity of the people of the Dominion of Cana da and the United States under one govern ment, such unity and assimilation to be based upon the admission of the several provinces of the dominion or any one of them into the union of states upon the same terms and equality with the states now composing the union, and the assumption by the United States of the indebtedness ofthe Dominion ot Canada, or a just proposition thereof, and such other equitable terms and conditions as justice to the high contracting parties may demand. Resolved. That, with a view to such negotia tion, the president invite the appointment of commissioners by the government of Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada to consider the wisdom and expediency of settling all controversies and difference which now exist between the two governments, growing out of the fisheries or otherwise, by such a union and assimilation as is herein before suggested, either as to the whole or any province of several provinces of said dominion, such negotiations to be conducted with due regard to the amicable relations which obtain between Great Britain and the United States and the obligations imposed thereby.

A man named Martin, living a few miles fiom Bowling Green, Wood county, re ceived notice early in the week that if he did not go to work and support his family he would meet punishment at the hands of "Wood county vigilantes." Martin paid no attention to the- notice, and one evening, as he started forfeomein an intoxicated condi tion, he was seteed by a band of masked men and taken into the woods. A rope was tied around his neck and one end thrown over a limb. He began to pray. Twice the men cut the prayer short by drawing their victim up until he dangled in the air. Then they strip ped him. tied him to a tree and applied beech switches until his back was a mass of bleed ing flash. His clothes'were then replaced and he was taken home, where he now lies sick. A few nights ago a man named Miller, living at Liepsic, received a notice similar to the one sent Martin. He paid no attention to it, thinking it was a practical joke by some of his neighbors but learned of his mis take too late. He was visited early in the week by White Caps, taken from the house and unmercifully lashed. At Fostoria, no 1ices were posted a week ago, and when they were torn down by those to whom they were directed, others were sent. General notices, addressed "To Whom It May Concern," were tacked on the trees in front of ex-Gov. Fos ter's residences, and the yards of other prominent citizens. For ten days the things were regarded as a great hoax, and every one ridiculed the idea of White Caps visiting Fostoria. Recently a band of men mounted and equipped in White Cap outfit dashed through the town. An attempt was made to follow them, but they scattered and were soon lost in a dense forest a few miles from the town. While there is no danger of the regulators doing any of their work within the city limit they have already sent notice? to farmers living in adjacent townships Defiance, Napoleon, Perryburg and Maumeehave each been visited, although no actual outrage was attempted. The skull and cross bones, with the representation o. a bowie knife beneath, is a favorite sign of the order in this vicinity. At Napolfon a notice bore the words, "God hates liai* and perjurers and adulterers. The White Cap pers are the Lord's chosen people to wieal^ out his vengeance on the wicked and unjust." The people are becoming much alarmed^ For a number of years B. P. Hutchinson familiarly known as M01d Hutch," has bwi a daily visitor on theChicago board of trade and his absence has caused considerable com ment. A statement made by his broker vcu to the effect that the man who manipulate! the great wheat corner a few months ate was very seriously ill, The chances are thn he will be compelled to leave Chicago when In recovers sumclenfj^y. Xob law ia Missouri -. r^Adjt. Gen. Jamison left for the scene of tfie labor disturbance at the mining town of Bevier, Mo., in response to telegraphic or derslrom Gov. Morehouse. He is familiar with affairs at Bevier, having been called there once before during the present strike. News from the scene of the riot is veix meager, but it is known that order has been at least temporarily restored. W. B. Porterfield, night operator at Bevier, left his instrument in the depot when theshootingcommenced, and took the ?&f first train east. There are many conflicting: statements as to how the Bhooting started, jiyj but the preponderance of evidence goes to*SS show that the Swade element were the ag gressors, particularly those xn the Loomis-^ and Snively mines. Charles H. Thombold, ," the only man known to have been shot, wa*£" still alive, bnt was not expected to survive. Sheriff Lyda is at Bevier with a posse, but he-JS admits that he is powerless, and has so noti fiedthegovernor. Thesheriffis ofthe opinion, however, that the militia would accomplish only temporary good. Later advices are to= the effect that the armed neutrality still exists and no fresh violence has oc curred, but an outbreak is liable to occur at any minute. A man who passed through Bevier after the riot, states that the reports that some 1,500 or 2,000 shots were fired is"* not exaggerated, as is evidenced by the bul let perforated buildings ofthe vicinity of the depot. Dozens of windows are shattered, and the front of the postoffice building was riddled with lead. The stockade in which the Swedes sought refuge is fearfully torn, and splintered, and the only marvel is that but one man was shot. InVact that portion of Bevier neai the depot resembled a battle ground, and hundreds of cartridges could be picked up in the streets. THE MARKETS. NEW YOEK.

The association is composed of the New England Farmer of Boston, the Farm Journal of Philadelphia,' the Ohio Farmer of Cleveland, Ohio, the In diana Farmer of Indianapolis, the Rural World of Montana, the Western Rural of Chicago, the Orange Judd Farmer ofChicago, the Western Farmer of Madison, Wis. The Bon. Norman J. Coleman is president ofthe association, and its papers clnim to have 2,500,000 reader. A bill drawn by the asso-j nation presented in the senate by Senator] Plumb accompanied by a petition gives the} ietails ofa plan ofsome originality and proba ble 8UCCP8S in the way of establishing a trade center for settlers in an entirely unsettled country. A portion of the great northern reservation of Montana, thrown open by the agreements ratified by congress last ses sion, lies along the line ot the St. Paul & Minneapolis & Manitoba, and for 400 miles in the Milk river district there are no towns or villages. The association represents that as five years' residence is required to settlers before they get their lands, it is highly de sirable that a trade center should be estab lished. The bill authorizes the secretary of the interior to sell to the association one sec tion of land at $1.25 per acre on which a town may be laid out. and that the govern ment then establish thereon a United States land office, the district to include aU^ th» lands thrown open to se+tlement.|p!V *t it "t & e,s he assault and attempted robbery of Phil Daly, the noted gambler and proprietor of the Pennsylvania club, has proven to be a "panel" or "badger" case of robbery, and the two men who acted with the woman Stan ton were placed under arrest at New York. Their names are Edward Meredith who ac cidently fired the shot, and Henry Herman", the antecedents of whom the inspector will not give at present. Addie Stanton, Inspec tor Byrnes states, made possible the arrest of Daly's assailants by a confession, and her confession was a startling revelation. It has been repeatedly asserted by the police that the "badger" game was played out in New York. One ofthe additional .details is the allegation that a number of prominent men have recently been victimized in this manner, and among them is said to have been a well known Tammany leader, whose' name is withheld. it iT y&-
