; EURTBLE REPORTS.
Columbus, (>.. Sept. S.The most
alarming reports are current here regarding i
the loss of life and property at Washing- i
ton court house, where a cyclone gutted
the city to-night. Help will be sent at 3
o'clock to the destitute families. At Plain
City, eighteen mile from this city, a car
riage factory and mill were demolished and
other buildings unroofed* This place is on
a direct line north of Washington court
house and along south to the Ohio river the
track of destruction is reported in like j
manner.
SCENES OF IIOKKOn.
Springfield, 0.. Sept. «.;.— A terrible i
cyclone struck Washington court house, a j
city of 4,000 inhabitants two miles west of j
here, at 8 o'clock this evening and almost j
literally swept it from the earth. It came j
from the northwest and broke upon the j
town very suddenly, carrying everything i
before it. Tee tornado swept up the main I
business thoroughfare and rained almost
every business block on it. at least forty or !
fifty in all. Hardly a private residence in
the town escaped- fully forty buildings go
ing down. The Baptist, Presbyterian and I
Catholic churches suffered the com- |
mon fate. The Ohio Southern I
Pan Handle narrow guage, the depot was j
blown to smithereens and every building i
in the vicinity was carried away, making \
ingress and egress almost impossible. Every i
line within a circle of two nii'es is down. ;
It is utterly impossible to get accurate de- i
tails of this catastrophe. The only reports :
that can be gotten are through an operator ;
who tapped two miles west of the town and j
is sitting in a heavy rainstorm to work his
instruments. The panic-stricken people i
were taken completely unawares and fled
from the buildings in every direction
through the murky darkness. A mad
frenzy seemed to seize them and they hur
ried hither and thither in their wild distrac
tion, little knowing whither they were flee- '
ing. After the whirlwind; which lasted
about ten minutes, a heavy rainfall set in, i
"which still continues unabated at this writ
ing. As soon as a few cooler heads recov
ered their senses searching parties were or
ganized and the .sad work of looking for the
dead began. So far fifteen bodies have
been recovered from the debris of various
ruined buildidgs, and the dreary work is just
beginning to get under way. Its probable i
as many more will be found before morn- j
ing. The glimmer of lanterns procured
from fawn houses in the vicinity and the '
few houses left standing* in the village is
the onls light the men have to work by.
Two or three bodies have been stumbled
upon in the middle of streets, • where they
were stricken down by flying brick or tim
bers. The cellars of houses and every sort
of refuge were tilled with shivering people,
huddling together in the vain attempt to
keep warm. One babe has died from ex
posure. The morning trains will carry
plenty of assistance, but strange to say no
bodyhasyet thhougt of sending a special
train to the scene of the catastrophe.
IN" MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Sept. 7. —Specials from Adrian
and Teciimseh report cyclones as having
visited these localities and having done con
siderable damage to property. A number

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Attention, Taxpayers.
It appears from general laws of ISSS that
the legislature at its last session passed the
j following act:
Chapter 816. An act to provide for an in-
I dcx digest of the Hiinnesota reports,
i Section 1. Authorizes the secretary of state
| to contract for furnishing to the state 300
I copies of an index digest of Minnesota ro
| ports, at not exceeding $5 per copy of the
completed work.
Sec. 2. Said work shall be prepared by such
persona and in such manner as the judges of
i the supreme court shall designate and ap
prove; to be a full and complete index to
i volumes one (1) to thirty-two (32) inclusive,
! of tho Minnesota reports; shall be printed on
; paper equal to thai used in Minnesota re
i ports, bound in law sheep, and ready for de
| livery in one year from the passage of the
net.
Sec. 3. The volumes furnished to* the state
jto be distributed as follows: To the several
I departments of state, to the judges of the I
\ supreme court and supreme court reporter, j
! the several judges of the district courts and
; judges Of probate one copy each,to the clerks
I of the district courts one copy each, state
j librarian ton copies, the Minneapolis Bar as
j sociation library two copies, the remaining
copies to be delivered to the state librarian
to s.uely keep for further distribution by j
law.
See. 4. The sum of $1,500 or as much as
may bo necessary, is appropriated to pay for
said books. The act t*> effect from its pas
! sage.
The history of this raid upon the state
j treasury, as read between the lines, and
i gathered from the journals of the senate
; and house of representatives, is both cv
i rious and instructive. It will be remem
! bered that the rules of the senate and house
j require that "every bill or resolution intro
! duced shall have prefixed thereto the name
I of the person introducing it*' (Senate rule
185, house 41). Notwithstanding these
; rules the first notice of this legislative waif,
i without parentage and akin to nobody, is
• to be found in the senate journal, at
j page 255, in these words and figures:
| "The committee on the judiciary intro-
I duced S. P. No. 419, a bill providing for an
I index digest of the Minnesota courts,
which was read the lirst time and
; referred to the committee on finance."
: This committee reported back "S. F. No.
419, A bill to provide for an index digest
.of Minnesota Reports, recommending its
j passage—(p. 265) — At page 367 this en
j try appears: "S. F. No*. XXX 419 were
j read a second time the committee of the
i whole recommended that S. P. 419 be j
• passed, and the committee of engrossment I
i reported '•S. P. 419 was correctly en
; grossed," and the same was passed Feb. 24,
1885.
The next day the secretary of the senate
: reported to the senate (p. 436) the passage
i by the senate of
"S. P. No. 419. To provide index digest
i for Minnesota reports." At p. 438, House
Journal, this entry appears:
"S. F. 4:; 1 A bill for an act to provide
j an index digest to the Minnesota Reports,
| was read first time and was referred to the
i committee on judiciary, who repotted and
recommended its passage. House Journal,
p. 533, this entry appears— reading
iof senate files —"S. F. Nos. 379, XXX
419, XX and others.
There was no second reading of
the bill, as the constitution requires.
March 4. 1885, (page 623 house journal)
this entry was made.
"S. F. No. 419. A bill for an act to pro
vide an increase digest to the Minnesota re
i ports was read the third time and mit upon
its final passage, passed and the title agreed
to. On same day, (senate journal 539) the
chief clerk of the house announced to the
senate the passage of XXX. "S. F. 419.
To provide for increasing digest of Minne
sota reports."
In the last moments of the session the
committee on enrollments in the senate re
ported "S. P. Xos. 419 and over one hun
dred other numbers," of S. F"s. correctly
enrolled.
We have in this short view:
First—A bill for an index digest of courts.
Second—And without change to amend
ment it turns up next as an index digest of
reports.
Third —S. F., read by their numbers in
stead of reading the bills represented by
those numbers.
Fourth—S. F., Xo. 449 (and not 419),
was reported to the house as having passed
the senate.
Fifth—The title of the S. F. 449 is re
ported to be "To provide index
digest for Minnesota reports."
Sixth—The next it appears "A bill for
an act, etc.," and by this title it passed the
house.
Seventh — bill was not read a second '
time in the house.
Eighth—Reported back from the house
under still a different title, in "To provide
for indexing digest of Minnesota reports.
It would seem from the foregoing that
this little "bantling," born out of lawful j
wedlock, has lost its "identity" in the I
mazes of legislation, so that the veriest
tyro in judicial or legislative proceedings
will at once know that it is unconstitutional
and void.
We deem it unnecessary to enlarge upon
the provisions of the act itself. The secre
tary of state is authorized to contract for
300 copies of a book that is yet to be gotten
up and nothing seems to be fixed about it
except the price. The judges of the su
preme court are to designate and approve
the preparation of the work. A pertinent j
I inquiry might here be made as to what
price and by whom is to be paid the "per
sons" designated to do the work. And what
are the judges to be paid for their supervi
sion of the work? Or is this to be a labor
of love on their part? But then, one of the
most interesting features of the act is the
persons who are to be furnished the book.
The departments of state, the municipal
courts; how many are there of them?
Would it not be better to furnish these fel
lows with spelling books, rather than an in- j
dcx to reports not in their possession?
What use have the clerks of district courts
with such a work? Ten copies to the state
librarian; one would do as well. The re
maining copies to be safely kept for future
sale. Only the modest little sum of 81,500
is set apart for this job. We hazzard noth
ing in saying that if this was let out
to the lowest bidder, as the other public j
I printing and publishing is done, that the i
work could be done for one-half the money,
to say nothing of the sale to lawyers over
and above the 300 copies sold to the state.
If there are any persons desirous of enter
ing the field as law writers and publishers,
they ought to be left on the same footing as
other private individuals and enterprises.
The main purpose of this publication is in
this public way to call the attention of the
Hon. Fred M, Baumbach,secretary of state,
and Hon. W. J. llahn. attorney general,
to the legal aspects of the case, and to in
voke their aid in protecting the interests of
the citizens of Minnesota. And still there's
more to follow. Law.

SiOUX Falls, Dak., Sept. B.—At the
caucus of delegates held this morning about
sixty were present. N. I. Lowthier of
Grant county was made chairman, ;iud C.
M. Reed of Solly county secretary. The
nominations made for officers of the con
vention were: A. J. Edgerton, Yankton,
president; John Cain. Chamberlain, secre
tary; S. M. Avery. Sioux Falls, assistant
secretary; M. B. Kent. Ellc Point, sargeant
at-arms. The convention was called to
i order at 12:20 by Secretary Teller, and
; sixty-six delegates answered to their names
ion roll call. The convention was opened
with prayer by A. J. Jamison of Sioux
Falls. The delegates then took the pre
scribed oath of office, and the
otticers nominated by the morning
i caucus were unanimously elected,
J and then sworn in by Secretary Teller.
Presiding Ottieer Edgerton then took the
gavel and delivered from manuscript a
short but well chosen address, which
was received with applause and seeming
satisfaction. Five mote delegates having
arrived, they were sworn in, making the
membership seventy-one. Some prelimi
nary motions were indulged, when Judge
Moody moved a committee of seven be ap
pointed by the president on rules and order
of business, and G. C. Moody of Lawrence,
T. D. Kanouse of Sanborn, J. A. Ward of
Hughes, W. W. Brookings'of Minnehaha.
11. J. Campbell of Yankton, D. Beller of
Hutehinson and Henry Neil of Giant were
appointed. A resolution was passed in
structing the president to invite the resi
dent clergy to open the sessions with prayer,
and the first fun of the convention began
when Delegate Neil of Grant county intro
duced the following resolution:
Whereas, The Sixteenth legislative as
sembly of the territory of Dakota assumed
the rijrht to authorize the eallinjr of a con
stitutional convention for that portion of the
territory south of the forty-sixth parallel, a
movement which oupht to have its power
from the people themselves of that power .of
the territory affected thereby, anl.
Whereas, it i? not the desire of the people
j of this territy that the same should bo di
vided and said southern portion admitted
; separately to statehood, but that they desire
admission as a whole, therefore be it
Resolved, That this convention do now ad
journ sine die.
Mr. Neil moved the adoption of his reso
lntion and was immediately seconded, but
as promptly came a motion to lay on the
table, which upon roll call, was adopted by
a vote of 59 ayes to 13 noes. A recess was
then taken until 4 o'clock. At 4:30 the con
vention was called to order and nothing of
importance transpired, except to receive the
report of the committee on rules providing
for the several standing committees, which
was adopted without dissention. The con
vention then adjourned until 9 o'clock to
morrow morning, when the president will
announce the committees and the committee
on rules will present their further report of
order of business.
Prohibition Probabilities.
Special to the Globe.
Dks Mouses, la., Sept. B.—There is no
probability at all that the prohibitory law
will be disturbed by the next legislature.
While the opposition may get control of the
lower house, there is no probability that
they can of the senate. At the last session
they had but eleven votes in the senate. Of
the fifty members of the senate thirty hold
over, leaving twenty to be elected this fall.
There are also two or three vacancies to be
filled, caused by death of members. Of the
opposition there is but one place to fill, that
of Senator Hall of Burlington. The follow
ing is the vote of the prohibition bill:
Yeaß—Abraham,* Barrett, Bro^n,* Cald
well, Carson, Chambers, Chubb, Clark,* Cot
ton,* Donnar, Duncan, Eastman, Gault, Gil
lett. Glass, Hemingway,* Hunt,* Hutchison,*
Kawarar,* Larrabee,* Lojran,* McCoy, Mc-
Dcnough, Marshall, Miles, Nichols,* Poyneer,*
Kobinson,* Russell,* Smith,* Steph
en.-', Sudlow,* Sutton, Whaler and Wilkin—36.
Nays —P.aker,* Bayle.ss. Bills, Bloom,
C\u\'. Cosbazb, Graves, H.vll, Hender?ox,
Hendrie. Eothekt, Rtder and Whiting—
23. Absent or not voting—Jonxsox and
Sweeney.
Those marked with a star are to be filled
at next election. Those in small capitals
are Democrats. It will be seen that all the
Democrats except one voted against the
bill. Two Republicans, Bills and Hotherr,
voted with them. All the Democrats hold
over but one, who will vote as he did the
last session. Of the Republicans, those to
to be elected are from Prohibition districts,
except two, and these, under the present
status of affairs, are as likely to send a Dem
ocrat as a Republican. It will require the
return of seven Prohibition senators to con
trol the senate, as Senator Gault can be re
lied on to vote with them.
Pistols and Clubs.
Special to the Globe.
Aberdeen, Dak., Sept. B.—An encoun
ter took place on Main street yesterday be
tween Hon. B. E. Ilutchinson. receiver of
the United States land office, and J. K.
Dayton, formerly of Minneapolis, in which
pistols and clubs were drawn, but neither
party seriously injured, owing to the timely
interference of friends. The trouble grows
out of a decision recently rendered by Re
ceiver Hutchinspn affecting a valuable
quarter section of land adjoining the city,
to which Dayton claimed title, adverse to
L. C. Dayton. The decision of the local
land office was against both parties, hold
ing the land subject to entry by the first
legal applicant. Dayton was incensed at
the receiver for going outside of the record
in the case to offer him a personal insult in
his decision. He met Ilutchinson on the
street soon after the decision was made and
abused him roundly. Hutchinson was ad
vised by his friends to arm himself, which
he did. Monday morning the parties met.
when Dayton picked up a pice of scantling
and was about to strike Hutchinson, when
the latter drew a revolver. Just at this
moment E. B. Bonnell, a clerk in the land
office, struck Dayton, knocking him down.
It is feared that the trouble is not yet ended,
as Dayton declares he will whip Hutchin
son on sight.
Hawkeyc Corn Crop.
Special to the Globe.
Dcs Moixes, la., Sept. B.—lt is reported
from Pleasantville that ears of corn are
found blighted and a local shortage of 20
per cent, is estimated. Fanners think it
may have been caused by the recent flight of
I grasshoppers, devouring the silks as" they
progressed. Muck anxiety is felt through
out the state regarding corn, as the crop
depends greatly on the weather. A killing
frost follows the storm. It is claimed that
only half the crop is now ripe.

A special meeting of the board of trade j
was held on Monday evening: The com
mittee having the Rochester excursion proj
ect in charge reported having obtained the j
names of about 100 who would buy tickets
to Rochester and return on Winona day,
which is Sept: 17.... On inquiry. Secretary
Phelps stated that the Winona and South
ern railway scheme was progressing favor
ably. He was surprised to see the large
amount of interest manifested in it by Wi
nona's heaviest business men, and thought
there was no reason why, if the matter
was properly pushed, there should not bo
some of the grading done this fall The
city council held its regular meeting on
Monday evening. The report of the col
lecter, Lorbeski of the ferry boat Van Gor
don was read, showing the total receipts
for the month of August to have been
5435.15. The application of Wisconsin
families asking the council to allow their
children free transportation on the ferry
white attending school in Winona, was re
ferred to the ferry committee. A proposi
tion was received from John Zenk, offer
iug to donate to the city a strip of land 100
feet in width, extending from the lake to
the country road, provided the city would
locate the new bridge so that it would
lead past his farm, and provided also that
the city would fix up the ground so donated
together with the two springs which it con
tains. The city accepted the proposition.
Hastings.
The sixth annual fair of the Hastings In
dustrial association has been held and orders
drawn for all bills incurred. In one sense,
like all previous fairs held by the asso
ciation, it was a grand success. The exhib
its in every department were very fine.
As an educational institution to farmers
and stock raisers it was everything that
could be expected, much of the finest stock
of horses and cattle now on exhibition at
the state fair was first shown here. Five or
six head of thoroughbred cattle were sold
on the grounds to be left in this vicinity.
The receipts, about $1,500, will pay all
premiums and other expenses, but while
the above is true it is also a lamentable
fact that the farmers, for whose exclusive
benefit these fairs were conceived and for
whom they are conducted, do not as a mass
in the least appreciate their value, ana with
a very few exceptions stayed at home; the
work and the patronage came mostly from
the citizens of Hastings David Thomp

Cashier Whitford of the German American
bank has nearly completed his beautiful
cottage on Seventh street, and Mr. George
Emmerson has broken ground for one on

the state fair on Monday to put in place the
educational exhibit of the Hastings public
schools, but owing to the lack of space for
the state educational exhibit only a part of
his exhibit was unpacked, andj a distinct
Hastings exhibit could not be made as was
anticipated.

ley .. Reports are coming in from differ
ent sections of the county to the effect that
the late heavy frosts injured the corn crop
to an extent that but about half a crop can
be harvested, and that late flax was injured
in about the same proportion. One promi
nent farmer says that with half a crop of
corn it will pay as well, if not better, than
the same amount of ground in any other
kind of grain, and that those who had corn
were very well repaid for seed, time and
ground used, though only half a crop can
be gathered.

and CoL W. F. Ball for the will, and the
decision is a decided victory for ' them, as it
I was hotly contested at every step for more
j than four months by Mitchell & Tilly. It
l has been stated that the contest was notable
for the largo sum. over $100,000, comprised
intricate and complicated points Involved,
j the testimony being largely of an expert
and scientific character, and the length of

took four days and were mostly of the ablest

' ' Aberdeen.
Advices have been received by the Brown
j county Democratic central committee from
over thirty counties in the territory, where
there has never before been a Democratic
organization, saying that representatives j
i will be present at the meeting here on the i
I 33d. Thus we see the good already result
i ing from the meeting. North Dakota es
pecially will be well represented, as will I
also the Black Hills. The opposition to the |
movement in the Southeastern part of the i
territory has apparently died .out, and it is j
now generally conceded that the meeting
will, if properly conducted, result in much
good for the party. The Democratic club
of Aberdeen, at its meeting Saturday even
ing, appointed the proper committees to re
ceive the delegates, and arrangements were
made for the entertainment of from 258 to
300 guests. Nearly this many have signified
their intention of being present. Gov.
Ziebach and Ignatius' Donnelly have ac
cepted invitations to be here. Several dele
gates from Northern and Central Dakota
passed through the city Monday morning
bound for the Sioux Falls constitutional
convention. It is apparent from the ap
pearance of the delegates that very indiffer
ent material has been selected to frame the
proposed constitution. Most of the dele
gates whom we have seen are strongly
in favor of incorporating a prohibi
tion plank in the constitution and some fa
vor' the adoption of a woman suffrage
clause It is estimated that nearly ten
thousand people will be in Aberdeen next
week in attendance upon the Grand Army
reunion and the second annual fair of the
Brown County Agricultural and Industrial
society, which occurs on the |same dates,
to-vvit: the 16th, 17th and 18th. All the
necessary arrangements have been made
for the entertainment of all who come. A
thousand tents have been provided by the
Grand Army folks, and immense supplies
of hardtack, army beans, bacon, etc., are
being stored in the commissary department.
The fair buildings are being erected and the
track put in condition. The owners of
several local noted horses from Minnesota.
lowa and Dakota have already signified
their intention of entering for the free-for
all trotting contest. ...Delegate Gifford
passed through the city Monday, returning
from the river and harbor convention at St.
Paul. An attempt was made to interview
him on some of the leading political topics,
but he seemed to bern ore interested in the
flattering result of the wheatharvest in this
locality than in politics. When asked re
carding the probable results of the Sioux
Falls convention and the meeting of the
Democratic committeemen, he merely
pulled his slouch hat down o\er his eye
and remarked that the recent frost had
done considerable damage to corn
Yank ton.
Delegates to the constitutional conven
tion from this county left for Sioux Falls
to-day. Under the law providing for the
convention delegates receive 53.50 a day,
and they may hold the session thirty days
if they deem it necessary. However, it is
thought the work of the convention will
not occupy more than ten days.
Dakota. IVewslets.
Col. Mays, a New York politician of
great influence, has been spending' some
time in Dakota and has become greatly in
terested in the state movement. The Yank
ton Press says: He has been in Dakota a
sufficient length of time to convince him
self that the general government is treating
us in a shabby manner, and being a con
scientious American citizen, is accumu
lating a reserve force of indignation over
our condition which will expend itself when
he again comes in contact*with his political
acquantances in New York. Nearly all
well informed visitors agree that with har
monious action among the Dakota people,
the territory can easily secure admission as
a state next winter.
Col. Barrett of the Aberdeen Republican,
the leading Democratia paper of the center,
has recently visited most of the towns of
the south, and reports, as the result of his
investigations, that the territorial division
sentiment is practically dead where not
long since it was the popular opinion.
Huron and Pierre still cling to the forlorn
hope of becoming the capital of South Da
kota. The colonel has information that the
meeting on the 22d will be the largest gath
ing of Democrats ever held in the territory.
The railroads are carrying for one and one
fifth fare for the round trip.
It is predicted that buffaloes will soon be
as much a curiosity in any part of Dakota
as a Republican official who resigns a good
office out of courtesy to a Democratic ad
ministration. The overcoats made of buf
falo hides hare nearly doubled in price since
last year. They have been generally worn
in Dakota, but will soon rank in price with
sealskins.
The grand jury draws for the coming
term of court in Trail! county comprises
eleven citizens, about half the number, from
the little village of Caledonia, and the edi
tor of the Hillsboro Banner publishes an
open letter to Judge McConnell, charging
that the jury is packed and demanding in
vestigation. Caledonia is building a court
house and needs the jury.
The work of prospecting for coal has been
quietly carried on all summer in the north
west part of Clay county, and there is great
confidence that it will be fouud in paying
quantities, as nine-feet veins have been
struck in several places. Artesian wells in
that section flow freely at a depth of 100
feet and less.
One indication of the apprehension among
Republican politicians of the South that
the Aberdeen convention will favor unity
and oppose division as a Democratic policy,
is seen in a furious attack upon the body
through the Chicago Inter-Ocean, which rs
attributed to a well-known territorial official
who does not live at Watertown.
The Pickwana Press says the majority of
the settlers in that region will refuse to
obey the recent order from Washington to
remove from the reservation. They will
stay till put off by force. It is not likely
they will be disturbed until they harvest the
little crops they may have.
Gov. Ziebach's paper understands that
Scotland is to have machine and repair
shops and be the end of a division on the
Milwaukee road, which will be of almost as
much value to the place as having a gov
ernor. It would indicate also the extension
of the railroad West.
Gen. Grant aia Satirist*
New Orleans Times.
Gen. Grant was as little given to caustic
speechs as to anger, but he was not without j
the faculty of the aptest and most incisive
observations. He was in Boston on one
occasion, the guest of prominent members
of his party, who, like himself, were at
tacked by Senator Sumncr. One of these
gentlemen, the owner of a pair of trotters,
took Gen. Grant out behind them late one
afternoon, and during the drive the con
versation turned on Mr. Sumner. The
Bostonian had many things to relate going
to show how imperious the senator was,
how impatient of outside counsel and how
very vain, "and do you know, although
standing so conspicuously before
the world as a champion of morals and hu
manity, he doesn't believe in the inspira
tion of the Scriptures." The Bostonian, in
delivering this, took the*reins in one hand
and turned to his companion, as if to par
alyze him by the statement. Gen. Grant,
however, received the news without any
especial sign. He took a long pull at his
cigar, blew the smoke out of his mouth de
liberately, and said quietly, "You don't
astonish me at all. He didn't write them
you know." The Bostonian was in ecstasy
over the remark, and every club in town
had the benefit of it that night.

Bonanza jtlackay't Ambition.
Special to the Globe.
Washington', Sept. B.—lt Is reported
that the recent rumor that Bonanza Kackey
intendes to buy the New York Herald
grew out of tho fact that ho bat senatorial
ambitions. Mackey is in Washington at
present, stopping with his lawyer, Mr.
Wood of San Francisco, who travels with
him, and his presence here is inado
the occasion of much gossip. The
report of his desire to succeed
Senator Jim Fair, his old partner,
is not the least interesting part of the talk
about him. As the story is told Mi-.
Hacker is the mainspring of hU political
aspirations. It is said that she wants her
husband to be a senator, and that
he has obligingly consented to satisfy
her wishes. The gossips 6ay that
Maekay'g candidacy is regarded as ■ settled
affair, and that the electors of
the state of Nevada are already re
coning what their votes will be worth
when the two millionaires, Mackey and
Fair, come into competition at the
next election. Mad;.-;. at present it
said to be more popular of the
two men in the state, but when
election time comes round, of course pop
ularity will have its price. There are not
more than about V2OO voters in the state,
and the 31,000.000 spent in buying
a majority would make every one worth
from $150 to S2OO, which is about the pres
ent volua-lon. Mackey is supposed to be
worth over 550,000.0D00. Fair's wealth
looms up pretty close to these
figures, and it is expected that
competition will be keen and prices high at
the next election for the state legislature,
which will elect Fair's successor to the
United States Senate. Mr. Mackey is
silent on •tho subject, but it is
declared that his main object in visiting
Washington at present is to purchase a site
whereon to build a palace that will dwarf
the most magnificent residence in the cap
ital. Mrs. Mackey it is said longs to dazzle
the American capital with some of her
splendid receptions which have aston
ished Paris during her resi
dence there. She cannot be the
wife of a French senator, but she may be
the wife of a millionaire senator from Ne
vada, and save Washington from the social
blight of dull Democratic economy.
Lawler After Postal t ices.
Washingtox, Sept. B.—A. large pile of
paper neatly tied with red tape lay on Act
ing Postmaster General Stevenson's desk
to-day. A torn slip of paper pasted
on top of the bundle bore the
words: Mr. Lawler. "Those," said Mr.
Stevenson in answer to a diiect question
are papers in the fourth-class offices in
Mr. Lawler's district. I ordered them
placed on my table this morning, and I
hope to be able to consider them by
the middle of the week. I intended to
have desposed of them long ago, but 1 have
been so busy with the routine work of the
office that 1 was competed to postpone their
consideration. There have been few changes
in Cook county. Two presidential officers
Chicago and Oak Park have been rilled and
nine fourth-class offices. There are In
round numbers about 100 postmasters yet to
be appointed. A private dispatch received
from Congressman Lawler to-day announces
that he will be in the city to-morrow.
Scvitclinien on a Strike.

Chicago, Sept. B.—The strike of the
switchmen employed at the Fifty-fifth street
yards of the- Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne

inaugurated yesterday, assumed large
proportions to-day. All switchmen in the
Chicago yards went out, and unless the
trouble is soon settled, the business of the
