Pt.atteviile, Wis., Aug. 4. Nine I
years ago the horse of John Wahl, a farm
er residing in the ad Joinig county of Mon
roe, ran away and smashed a reaper. Out
of revenge, the horse, which was a valua
ble one, was locked in a barn, and since
that time has never seen daylight or moved
two feet out of his stall. Neighbors, who
found an opportunity to enter the stall re
cently, say that little remains of the beast
but skin and bones. The hair has grown
about 0 or 8 inches long. The mane is
about two feet, while the hoofs have grown
up and extend over one foot. The unfor
tunate animal's eyes are sunken far ba'k
in the head and the joints of its legs ap
pear to have grown perfectly stiff.

so that she took to her bed. Yesterdav the
monstrosity was born. The child died a

An Awful riot.
Toledo, 0., Aug. 2. A most extraordi
nary condition of affairs prevails at Bairds
town, an old village on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad about twenty miles south of
this city. It has had five incendiary fires
within a week and every business house

has been destroyed.
The alleged cause is
this:
Some time ago the authorities passed an
ordinance forbidding the sinking of any
gasoron weiiswiuun me town i"i'"s.
.. .. .... .1 , .
Jien who were nolding town lots at uig
prices, hoping to sell them to oil men, thus
found their aspiraiinnsehecked. Keuiarks
were made that "What is belowthe ground
theground
is more valuable than what is above it"
The idea that a section of a community, as
is estimated, would set deliberately to
work and burn up a town with the view of
converting the site into oil producing terri
tory, is something so singular that one can
scarcely bcliera it possible, and yet this
statement is publicly intimated by the citi
zens of the destroyed village.

Chicago lias alilRFlre.
CniCACO, III., Aug. 1. A fire broke out
on the Lake front at the foot of Michigan
avenuenearthcrnouthof the Chicago ri-er,
and at one time the indications were that
the fire might be one of the most extensive
that lias occurred In Chicago-sincc the de
struction of the most valuable part of the
city in October 1S71.
This last calamity began on the docks of
Fitzsimmons & Connell, contractors, and
rapidly spread to the lumber yards of F E.
Ayer & Co., and E. K. Whitcomb & Co. All
about the locality where the flames started
are vast strut-lures of valuable lumber piles
and manufacturing establishments.
The fire was at last got under control.
The potent factor in bringincaliout there
suit was the lucky circumstance that the
wind was blowing directly oil shore. Be
tween ten and fifteen acres of lumber were
confumed with not far from forty freight
cars. The direction of the wind alone saved
the shipping and warehouses in the vicini;
ty. It is estimated that the total loss will
not exceed S-300,000. The principal losers
are Ayer & Co., 10,000, partly insured:
Fitzsimmons & Connell SI0.0OO, no insur

Toi-KKA, Kan., Aug. 2. Hon. Martin
Mohler, secretary of the state board of
agriculture, has just returned from Os-

the state, anil brings gloomy reports of the

Mr. Mohler has great confidence in the
success of a second crop of corn planted

selves from total loss by planting a second

Texas Fever In Chicago.
Chicago, I1L, Aug. 1. Texas fever has
made its appearance among the cattle near
the city limits and a portion of the twenty
eighth ward of this city, and twenty of
them Lave died from effects of that disease.
Inspectors of the health department have
tr.i.le lost mortem examinations in several
cases and pronounce the disease true Texas
fever. The supposition is that the animals
contracted it from the-refuse which was
dropped from railroad cars in which Texas
cattle were being transferred into this city.
The officers of the department say that the
only means of preventing the disease from
spreading to all of the cattle in the neigh
borhood is to shut them up until frost
comes next fall.

Two Views of It.
Topeka, Kan., July SO. The cattle
men, who will have to vacate the Cherokee
strip, think that it will result in great de
pression to the cattle trade. E. J. Bidwell,
of Coldwater, said to-day: "I have 6,000
head of cattle which the president says
must be moved by October 1. I don't
know what will be the result of the move.

savs:
"The talk of the Cherokee strip clear

there is not three day's supply in the

terrible hardship can be worked by the
order commanding the vacation."
The Criminal Law Defective.
Atchison, Kan., July 81. B. P.
Waggoner announces that he will present
a petition to United States Judge Foster
asking that Arthur Lett, a statoprisoner in
the Kansas penitentiary, be released.
Lett is a young colored man who was seit
to prison for seducing a girl under 18 years
of age. A recent statute provides that
such a seduction shall be regarded as rape
and Ihe offender shall bo punished by
confinement at hard labor. '-The crimes
act" says a felony shall he punished by
"confinement at hart labor in the peni
tentiary." The act making Lett's offense
a crime omits the words "in the peniten
tiary." This discrepancy, Mr. Waggoner
claims, will release Lett from the peniten
tiary, and the severest punishment that
can bo inflicted is imprisonment in the
county jail. He quotes the well known
principal of law that statutes relating to
crimes shall be constraed strictly. If the
court releases Lett on the point will prac
tically discharge from the prison 7o0 or
800 prisoners in for other offenses, whose
sentences arj authorized by sections of the
law which omit the words "in the peniten
tiary." Mr. Waggoner is a lawyer of
recognized ability, and says he does not
apply to the state court because it would
not bo policy of a state court to make a
decision that would set at liberty nearly
all the prisoners in the penitentiary.
Marshal Thomas Kills a Man.
Gainesville, Tex., July SO. News
reached here of a fatal combat between
Deputy Marshal Heck Thomas and a noted
desperado named Jeff Logue, which oc
curred near Anardarko, Comanclw nation.

Great Decline in Corn.
Chicago, July 31. The following will
appear in this week's Farmers' .Bevicw: A
great decline has taken place in the condi
tion of corn during the past two weeks.
The Dakotas are the only states that ap
parently maintain a high average, and in
these states the condition is not uniform.
Since our last report the general averages
have fallen oir 13 points in Ohio, Kentucky
and Nebraska. In Kansas the decline
amounts to 25 points; in Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri and Minnesota it ranges-from 5 to
10 points. We summarize ns follows the
reports of our correspondents:

Going North.
roxcA, I. T., July SI. Standing Bear
and six followers (Poncas) have gone to
Nebraska, they having been hero 6 months.
The country is too warm they say. The
government furnished them nations for SO
days and equipments, etc. They return
overland.
Three hundred Choyennes from near El
Reno are visiting the Ponca tribe and are
preparins a grand feast and dance here.
Bed Wolf and Whirlwind are chiefs of the
visiting Cbevennes. .
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
way company has placed stakes around
Ponca. Red Rock anil Willow Springs sta
tions, denoting their limit of land. From
this it seems some information must be in
tho wind that the Ponca. Otoe and Pawnee
reservations are to be opened with other
Indian lanils.
Prominent cattle men who have stock
feeding in different reservations now think
the government will allow them till the
middle of Octoberto clear cattle out, owing
to the fact that catlle can not be entered
into Kansas grazing pastures until Novem
ber. - Robbers Go Through a Train.
Valentine, Neb.. Jnly 31. The passen
gers on the Black Hills express on tho
Elkhorn road, encountered a brace of real
live train robbers at Arabia. The two
men boarded the train at Arabia and went
into the two day coaches, where they be
gan to hold up the passengers. One of the
robbers went through the day passenger
cars with a revolver in each hand, calling
out: "Gents, get your valuables; my part
nerMll put em in his sack."
Bchiud him came his-"partner' holding
a bag. After the collection had been com
pleted, they shot at the rear brakemen and
missed him. s
The Sheriff of Cherry county has gone
after Uic train robbers with a posse of men.
They rode a mile on the train and jumped
off as it was moving. Just how much the
robbers secured is not known but the
amount is thought to be small. Both were
young men, but they went at tho job very
coolly.
The Comanche Bond Cases.
Topeka, Kan., July 31. Charles Ed
ward Lewis applied to the United States
circuit court for two writs ot mandamus
against the board of county coramlsrioaers
of Comanche county to compel them to
pay two. judgments obtained by him oa
suits on bonds of the county. The judg
ments are for SS5.C6?,93. and interest 5S2,
0,48 and interest: alternate writs were is-
suea. mesa are meiamous Donas issued
by some adventurous frauds who organized
Comanche county, counting buffalc skulls
utteammeration and isauld bonds for all
t-rwaUs purposes, yirrtai aatytp-
ceeds in their own pockets. The attlon
was clearly illegal, but as the bonds got in
to the hands of innocent persons the court
gave judgment against the county.
A Nice regal Point.
Muskogee, I. T., July SL There are
questions arising which have a tendency
to tangle the United States and Indian
courts. A St Louis firm obtained a judg
ment against J. M. Baird, an Indian of
Clarimore. Bainl's hotel and furniture
were sold by the United States marshal, to
satisfy the judgment, and the purchaser,
under the law, was also an Indian. Baird
has sued the purchaser in the Cherokee
court for possession. As the fight goes on
now between two members of the same
tribe, lawyers look on with interest. If
Baird succeeds no Indian hereafter will
hni. nt ntrshnl' snip thnnrnnprtv of an

Indian, and the wheels of justice will move
slowly when theproperty of an Indian U

Morganville Sentinel: We heat
many expressions of disgust from alli
ance men regarding tho action taken,
by the delegate county convention at
Clay Center. They claim the couvon
tion usurped tho power of tho organi.
zatioa in voting tuocoy to de-fray tho
expenses of delegates to the stato con.
vention, and by voting to put a county
ticket in the field ut tho county election.
They claim these fictions were taken
without any authority whatever from
snb-alliances, and are therefore noti
binding.
Paola Republican: The crowd at the
farmers picnic at Osawatomio is vari
ously estimated at from 800 to 2,000.
Spoeches wore made by Dr. J. II. Oys.
ter. Judge Stevons, E. F. Allen, and
others. Judge Stevens' address was
mainly an arraignment of Senator Tn
galls "for the shortcomings ot that
ta'ented gentleman. Mr. Allen is tho
independent candidate for congress,
and, this being his first appearance,
pome interest was maniiestea in mm.
He has a disagreeable impediment in
his speech.
Medicine Lodge Index: Several
weeks ago a dispatch was sent to nil
tho dai'ies in Kansas that tho Barber
county alliance had resolved not to nom
inate a lawyer for district j'udgc. It
was considered a very crude joio at tho
time, and the truthfulness of tho dis-
patch was promptly denied. Howovor,
tho action of the allianco convention at
Attica, last week, in nominating for
judge Mr. McKay, who is not a lawyer,
would seem to indicate that the author
of the dispatch in question must have
been a foreteller ot events, if not a
truthful man.
Kansas City, Mo.. Journal: In
Washington county, Kansas, some 300
members of the alliance deemed it
proper to accept an invitation to a con
ference with the republican central
committee, where articles of agreement
wore submitted and adopted. As alt
tha sub-alliances in the county were
represented, this did not suit the alli
ance leaders. Accordingly, all the alli
ance officers in tho county were re
moved by the etate officers, and new
oll'cers appointed. In the south par
of Washington county ac alliance 01
forty members was formed and a chart
tor applied for. The charter was refused
until the members, all republicans,
would announce their adhesion to the
third party. In Saline county several
of the officers of sub-alliances have
been removed because of their republi
canism, they not being deemed lit per
sons to conduct alliance meetings. In
1 hillip3 county the line3 have been so
rigidly drawn that eomo old-time demo
crats will not hold political conversation
with their former comrades.
