Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S A S TO I A 1 BARCELONA STILL REFUGEES AND TRAVELERS DE CLARE THE REVOLT IS STILL RAMPANT. RUMOR OF REPUBLIC DECLARED 50 Revolutionists Wounded in Conflict Last Saturday Night—Killed or Wounded So Far Aggregate Over 3,000. London, Aug. 2.—A dispatch re ceived here by a news agency from Cerbere, France, reports that the rev olutionists have proclaimed a repub lic in Barcelona and that the fortress Montjuich is constantly firing upon the districts occupied by them. Paris, Ang. 2.—Although official Spain minimizes the Catalonian insur rection and insists that the revolt has been crushed, a far different story emanates from the frontier. Refugees and travelers declare that the revolt is still rampant and that desperate combats continue at Barce lona, where 50 revolutionists are re ported to have been wounded in a con flict which occurred as late as Satur day night. Information concerning the actual situation in Barcelona and the rest of the province is rarer than ever before. Although some of the news from the frontier is from revolutionary sources, and therefore open to suspicion, most reliable intelligence leads to the be lief that, although Barcelona is calm er, the insurrectionists have taken to the suburbs and the outlying country, where they are sowing the seeds of revolt and inflaming the populace to maintain the struggle to the bitter end. In Hand of Prowling Bands. Barcelona province is in the hands of prowling bands of workmen, heavily armed, who occupy the railroads and highways to prevent communication, and who refuse entrance to newcom ers. Cassan De la Selva is in the hands of the revolutionists, and at Palamos, were the monastery was fired upon and the monks tortured, the situation is described as alarming and the lives of foreigners endangered. The opinion in semi-official circles here concerning Spain's internal situ ation is pessimistic and the belief is expressed that the trouble is not yet over. Official Madrid announces that Bar celona is tranquil, but qualifies this statement with the words, "This is especially so in the center of the city." From Melilla comes the news of an other Spanish convoy being ambushed and several of its officers being wound ed before the troops succeeded in ex tricating themselves from the attack of the tribesmen. Strike Near at Madrid. Rumors are afloat that a general strike will be launched at Madrid and that a strike is being organized in the Biscayan region. All persons subject to military duty are forbidden to leave Spain under penalty and elaborate measures have been adopted to forestall a possible outbreak in the other provinces of the country. Official denial is given to the report that the temper of the Madrid garrison is hostile. Another oflicial statement says that the number of victims of the fighting at Barcelona is unknown, but frontier reports, one of them of alleged au thoritative inspiration, declares that the killed or wounded will aggregate 3,000, and that the number of insur rectionists Bummarily shot was be tween 40 and 120. BLOW FOR COMMISSION MEN. Right to Collect on Sales Revoked Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Winnipeg, Man., July 31.—A wai which promises to be extremely bittei is on between the elevator interests and the commission men on the locai grain exchange.

Building of Railway Through a Grave yard May Lead to Outbreak. Hazleton, B. C„ July 31.—Fearing a lerlous outbreak among the Indians of fte northern interior of the Dominion at Canada, the residents of Hazleton have petitioned the government to establish a mounted police patrol along the line of the Grnnd Trunk Pacific railway. The two thousand Indians near here are reported to (lave armed themselves. The unrest among the red men is :aused by the effort of the government to purchase the reservation grant to each Indian of 160 acres of land, and dlso by the failure of the Grand Trunk road to settle damage claiftis arising from the building of the railway across an Indian graveyard. The railway of fered to remove all of the bodies, but the Indians demanded a cash settle ment. Tornado Plucks Geese.

Scarcely a feather was left on tile birds when Thomas found them after the cyclone had passed. 1 SPOKANE WRECK-8 KILLED TWO ELECTRIC TRAINS COLLIDE NEAR SPOKANE.

Ill health had made his life miser able for the past two years, and al though he took a trip to Carlsbad, Germany, he was forced to return with his health impaired instead of improved. Father Mackin came to Burlington in August, 1892, and' during his pas torate accomplished wonders in build ing up the parish, both jn a temporal and spiritual way. He erected a fine new $50,000 church and a $15,000 par JOHN ARENSDORF IS DEAD Death Claims Principal Actor in Had dock Murder Mystery at Sioux City.

John Arensdorf is dead at his Sioux City home and it recalls the fact that he was tried for the murder of Rev.

Arensdorf was acquitted and lived' down his unwelcome notoriety so that upon his death ho was g,iven all the honors due a leading citizen at his funeral. The younger generation has no idea of the intense feeling that was aroused by the passage of the prohibition law in Iowa. The divine right to drink was acknowledged in Sioux City, then in its booming days, and also in the river towns generally. Rev. Haddo was active in trying to enforce the law and lost his life at the hands of some unknown person, hut suspicion was focused upon Arensdorf and' he was arrested and tried, the trial being one of (he most sensational in the history of the state.

The funeral of the popular priest was attended by the Catholjc clergy from all over the Mississippi valley region and thousands of citizens of Burlington, where he had lived so many years. MAKES GOOD AS ARTIST David Edstrom of Ottumwa Has Hard Struggle to Climb to Top. Fame and fortune have come to David Edstrom of Ottumwa, but not until he had traveled to Europe in a cattle ship, nearly starved to death in (he Latin quarter of Paris and fished and hunted in Lapland' while he pursued his studies. Now lie can look back upon his days of suffering with complacency. Ilis life story reads like a tragedy, so severe and hard to bear was the poverty the then youth of tender years bore up with and by the very force DAVID EDSTROM. of his art he surmounted almost at the cost of hjs life. But the world lias profited by his works. He sold papers, carried' bundles in a clothing store and tried for the machinist trade at the Johnston Rufller works, where he would purloin clay from the foun dry to model at home of evenings. In order to reach Europe he hired as a stoker on a Danish steamship the Norge, bound for Copenhagen, lie tells of the pleasure he found in the work and the beauty he found in the sight of the roaring furnace be neath the boilers and watching the stokers with the big iron rods rake the red cinders from tne Are. "It is the plastic tension that delights me," said Edstrom, in telling of his trip. The poor Ottumwa lad is better known today in Pans, Vienna and Rome than in his old home In South Ottumwa, where his talent was awak ened. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S O A S O I A DR. A. W.

The archdiocese of Dubuque in cludes the dioceses of Dubuque, Dav enport, Sioux City, Lincoln and' Oma ha. While any catholic priest in this territory is eligible to the liight post, it is customary to select one of the bishops, or church official w^th equal rank. When the irremovable priests meet they will make a list of three men, and this list will be turned over to the bishops having authority in the diocese and one of them will be se lected, probably the one having the highest number of votes, although not necessarily. Those who mfy receive the nomina tion are Bishop Davis of Davenport, Bishop Carle of Dubuque, Bishop Kean of Cheyenne and Mgr. Flavin of Des Moines. The last named was ele vated to his present rank a year ago, and is therefore in line of promotion. Probably Bishop Davis will receive the highest number of votes, but there is more than a possibility that Mgr. Flavin will be the one selected by the bishops at their conference, because it is understood that Bishop Davis does not care for promotion at this time. At all events the meeting promises to attract much attention among the Catholics and church people of other denominations. PREACHER AT WAR WITH GOTCH Says Wrestling Is Brutal and Should Be Stopped by Law. Rev. J. W. Graves took a fall out of Frank Gotcli, the champion wrest ler of the world, in a sermon in Des Moines, in which he quoted the cham- REV. J. W. GRAVES. pion's own statements to prove that wrestling is far more brutal than prize lighting. Rev. Mr. Graves took as his subject "Altruism, or the Crowning Character istic of Christianity." After a preUm linary skirmish with the subject In general, lie said of wrestling: "The wrestling matches should meet with disapprobation and defeat, because they are brutal, both in their purpose and practice, and brutalizing upon all those who come under their influence. Such cannot but be injuri ous to all. The Infliction of pain for personal gain is barbarous and in humane. Such exhibitions should, therefore, be prohibited by law."
