TACOMA, Wash.. June 19.—In the vicinity of Cascadc Locks, Ore., the loss from the floods is conservatively estimated at ?FL00,000. The town was not damaged seriously and the losses have fallen upon those best able to stand them—the government and the Union Pacific railway. The nncompleted locks, on which the United States has expended over 000,-000, narrowly escaped total destruo-tion and as it is ihf works have been damaged about 8200,000. The water is still so high that it is impossible to tell exactly to what extent the canal has suffered. The damage to flsheries and canneries, including the loss of time, will amount to at least 8100.000.

Work on the Cascade locks was com-menced eighteen years ago, to be com-pleted by March, 1895. The work was to cost the^government 88,000,000. but on account of the floods there will be a

iMr. Bayne retired from public life at the end of the Fifty-first congress, after iervtng eight consecutive terms. He repre-•ented the Twenty-third Pennsylvania dis-trict. He was a man of weight in the republican councils and an excellent lead-er. A better talker and a more charm-ing gentleman waa rarely fonafl. He was born tn Allegheny, Pa., June 14.1838.

ACCEPT THE TEBM6.

COLUMBUS, O . , June 16 .—There are abundant reasons for believing the miners of the Ilocuing valley will fall into line for the agreement next Mon day and accept its terms. Telegrams have been received from every part of the valley conflrmlng that view. The more Important meetings were held at Nelsonvllle, Longstreth, Orblston and New Pittsburgh, where the largest min-ing interest on the line of the Hooking valley lay. At these points the miners decided to resume work Monday on the new scale. Many of the dispatches criticise President Adams quite severe-ly for the radical stand he has taken. Beports from Band Bun and Minerton Bay t h e m e n h a v e d e c i d e d to g o t o w o r k Monday, and advices from Buchtel and Straltsvllle are to the same effect.

MoBrido Defends Himself. President McBrlde said on Friday

night: "The mon have only been held In line by the

suspense occasioned through the holding of conventions at different points and the agita-tion kept up by our board members, dlsiriot presidents, organizers and other field workers whoso expenses were paid by us. Our funds were exhausted and we are hundreds of dollars in debt, and our field workers, unable to pay their own expensen, were compelled to stay at home, while from all districts came the orv: •For God's sake, send us men or money to keep our men In line or the fight is lost* We could not aid them because we had no money to send and most of our workers had exhausted their personal means and were helpless to go on, and although myself and others have advanced money to koeptho movement alive. If finanelal aid cannot bo se-cured from some source the next issue of our official journal will be its last until money comes In, and to suspend publication cuts off the last reliable means of communication be-tween the national office and the men.

"We have a doxen men in Jail for consplraoy, BmonR them W. B. Wilson, of our national board at Cumberland, Md. With no money to defend these men, many of them, though Inno-cent, will suffer. Four thousand men deserted us at Coal Creek, Tenn. Nearly 7.000 are at work In Kansas i 10.000 out of 14.000 in Virginia and West Virginia are also at work. Others are settlug aside our policy of peace. Wo had reached the danger Hue and made tho best we eould of the situation "

STKKATOB, DL, June 18.—At a mass meeting of the miners of this city and vicinity held here Friday it was decided to continue the present strike and ignore the agreement made by the miners and operators at Columbus.

Troops Are Sent.

SPHiKoraU), 111., June 18.—Gov. Altgeld has ordered the Seventh regi-ment of Illinois national guards of Chicago to Mount Olive. The order was sent to Brig. Gen. Wheeler a t 9:45 o'clock Sunday night, and was based on a letter from the sheriff of Macoupin oounty asking for assist-ance fo* himself and United States Marshal Brinton in arresting men who have been Interfering with trains on the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis rail-way and successfully defying the state and federal authorities for the past six days.

•William Hensfaan- Tries to Murder 11U f a m i l y . Then Kills Himself.

F GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 16.— William Henshaw, a drunken painter, led to kill his wife and children,

atally shot his father-in-law, Jacob Sutton, and then blew his own brains out. Mrs. Henshaw sep-arated from her husband on Bccount of cruel treatment a couple of years ago at Rock Island, 111., •nd came here with her seven chil-dren. Henshaw followed her and has annoyed her more or less over since. Kecently Mrs. Henshaw instituted di-vorce proceedings, and it is believed this fact provoked the tragedy. At 8 p. m. Henjhaw went to Strttox&hox on West street and shot the old man twice in the head. He then crossed fee street to his wife's house and tried to break is. Failing in this he fired two shots a t the woman and her chil-dren, and then sat down on the poroh and blew out his own brains. Sutton, who is 70 years old. will die

The A t t o r n e y General Brings W i t -nesses in His Defense.

Thei r ETlilenue for t he Most Par t Alms a t Disproving the Testimony of Wood,

tho Chief Witness fo r tho Prosecution.

THE PROCKEDINGS.

LANSING, Juno 14.—Robert L. Gage, the last witness for the prosecution in the case against ex-Attorney General Ellis, coiToborated material por-tions of the story told by ex-Clerk Wood, the principal witness for the people. The defense, as outlined by T. E. Barkworth, will be that Wood's story is entirely false. The defense will repudiate Heaiey'sstory so far as it connects Ellis with the crime, but will claim that Ilcaley made all tho changes at Bessemer and conceived the idea himself, believing that if he could show a big vote for the amendment in Goge-bic county legislators who were great-ly interested in il» passage would bo more favouably disposed toward a bill affecting both the county and himself which was then before the legislature.

Marcus Peterson, ox-clerk of the board of state auditors, denied point blank ever havjng the conversation with Wood to which the latter swore. On cross-examination Peterson was asked if he was not short in his ac-counts when he retired from of-fice. The witness grow ex-cited and appealed to the court for protection, and was assured that when improper questions were asked him he would bo protected. He was finally forced to admit that after leav-ing the service of tho state ho was in-formed that there were certain vouch-ers of his for vouchers that had not been expended.

Ex-Gov. Winans testified that Ellis never borrowed any returns from him, and that, to the best of his recollec-tion, Judge Bain^wabnotrecommend-ed for appointment until after the bill creating the circuit passed the legis-lature. LANSING, June 16. — On Thursday

nearly a dozen witnesses who ex-Clerk Wood in his damaging story against ex-Attorney General Ellis said had knowledge of facts related by him werp sworn,and denied all knowledge of such facts. The force of theso denials was broken in two instances when tbe fact was brought out that the witnesses were under indictment for conspiracy in connec^ioij with the same amend-ment frauds. An expert in handwriting gave i j gs his opinion that the altera-tions Wood claims to have made are not in his handwriting'. LANSING, June 16.—Experts were

SwOrn in Ibe trial of Attorney General Ellis for forgery at Mason Friday to show th^t It Was Frank A. Healey, of ironwood, who made the changes in the Gogebic county return, for the forgery of which Ellis is charged. The theory of the proGecution is that W. H. S. Wood mhde the alterations at the at-torney general's directions. The testi-mony of the experts was not satisfac-. tory, but on the whole they were of the opinion that the writing was Healey's.

The deposition of ex-Secretary of State Daniel E. Sopor, who i s now in California, was read in evidence Fri-day. Sopor deposes that the Gogebic returns were changed before they were received at his office. An affidavit of Frank A. Healey, made four months ago, setting forth that he had changed \he writing in the Gogebic return at Bessemer, was read. It flatly con-tradicts the statements of Healey made before the grand jury and upon the present trial. . LANSING, J u n e 17 .—Audi to r G e n e r a l

Turner was the first witness sworn in the Ellis trial Saturday morning. His testimony had a bearing on the de-fense's claim that W. H. S. Wood sought revenge on the attorney gen-eral, because the latter la^t summer would not render an opinion that a certificate of the receiver of the in-solvent Central Michigan savings bank could legally be accepted in setr tlementof a debt of 81,087, being state funds which Wood, while superintend-ent of the state industrial school, de-posited in the bank. Gen. Turner thought it was to gratify this revenge that Wood said he changed the Gogebic returns at the attorney general's re-quest.

LANSING, J u n e 1 0 . — A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l Ellis took the witness stand at Mason Monday to defend himself on the chasge of forging the Gogebic county return upon the salary amendment to the constitution voted on In 1891, the trial of which has now entered upon its third week- The direct examination of the witness consumed the entire afternoon and was not com-pleted. Ellis emphatically denied having any knowledge of the fraud, or ever having had any conversation re-garding any dishonest or dishonorable act with either the witnesses Wood, Healey, M. M. Riley or S. S. Cooper. In fact he entered a general denial of all the testimony offered by the people connecting him with the crime in any way.

Here They Come.

The following letter from tho English Arm of brass founders, Samuol Heath & Sous, to a Hartford firm is a fair indica-tion of with what interest tho English manufacturer is watching Democratic legislation:

BnunKOHAM, England, April 10. To tho Company:

I We have your name given us ns being makers i )f fenders, and, as you are no doubt aware we ire the largest manufacturers of nil kinds of

j attluKs for these articles In tho world, we wish | '.o say that If the Wilson bill passes In your | :ountr}-we shall be very glad to call upon yon j tome time next September with all kinds of ' rases, mounts, spindles, rod ends, caps, etc., i mpports and tubings. | Wo should be very pleased to hear from yon, itatlng If you would then bo in a position to favor us with an order if the goods met with four npprovaL

Thanking you In anticipation, etc., (Signed.)

It doesn't take a spyglass to discern the fact that if the Wilson bill becomes a law the firm of Samuel Heath & Sons, one of the largest manufacturers In the world, intends to flood the coun-try with its goods. The success of this effort means a corresponding decrease in the production of American firms. Englishmen—not Americans—bless the tie that binds thoir cinch on the markets Ot the United States.—Rockland (Ma) Daily Star.

That Dollar Wheat.

Farmers may well remember the fall of 1893, when, during the presidential campaign, they were told by the free trade party that all they need do in or-der to secure dollar wheat was to vote for Qrover Cleveland and for every oth-er candidate of tho same political faith. Some farmers believed this dollar wheat promise and voted as they were direct-ed. They are now reaping their harvest as the March 12 report of the statis-tician of the department of agriculture points out in tho following words:

The returns of tho correspondents of the department throughout the great wheat surplus states indicate a new fac-tor in tho consumption of wheat—viz, the feeding of tho same to hogs and oth-er stock, a fact duo, as declared, to the unprecedentedly low prices, the claim being made that tlys mode of dispoeing of the cereal is profitable as compared with marketing i t for human food.

WHO CAN TELL WHAT THE TARIFF

BILL IS NOW LIKE?

A Complete Bocord of Its Checkered Ca-

reer Through Congress—It Shows How

tho Connlry IH Governed by Democracy.

I 'rocrnstlnatlon, bu t No I.egUlntlon.

It is interesting to follow tho career of the tessellated tariff, known as tho Wilson bill, to promote the policy of prostration, which is briefly given as follows;

1. Tho Chicago platform of tho Dem-ocratic party denouncing protection as a fraud, condemning trusts and declaring for a tariff for revenue only.

2. Tho hi bora of tho schoolteacher— Mr. Wilson—to revolutionize tho groat industrial and manufacturing interests of tho United States, he never having been engaged in business and never hav-ing done a day's work in a factory in his life.

3. Tho demagogic address to con-gress by President Grover Cleveland, urging tho policy of prostration, the de-struction of American prosperity and striving to create strife between capital and labor on lines laid down in his mes-sage, and the creation of his income tax.

4 Tho work in the basement hy the ways and means committee of the house of representatives, including invitations to foreign manufacturers to give their ideas upon an American tariff, hearings of foreign vegetable growers and manu-facturers, and a partial hearing of American intereets.

6. The discussion of the bill by the house of representatives, a number of the schedules changed and its passage forced by Czar Crisp.

6. Sent to the senate. 7. Referred to the senate finance com-

mittee and there taken in charge by the trinity, not one of whom came from an industrial state or had the slightest knowledge of the conditions or require-ments of laborers or manufacturers.

8. The refusal of the trinity to grant hearings to American interests.

9. The unauthorized addition of one and two additional destroyers to the trinity committee, creatinga quartet and a quintet of discord fort he United States.

10. The completion of a new bill by this varied numerical committee after granting private hearings to the Sugar trust

11. The submission of this new bill in the senate.

13. Its discussion in the senate. 18. Tho opposition of leading Demo-

cratic senators thereto. 14. Its discussion in committee of tho

whole senate 15. The construction of a new bill by

protectionist Democrats, with the aid of the secretary of the treasury, unknown to the trinity committee.

16. The recognition of the interests of the Lead, Oil and Sugar trusts.

17. Tho abandonment of a tariff for revenue only.

18. The adoption of a policy of pro • tection on a modified form, forgetful that insufficient protection is no protec-tion.

19. The presentation of 408 proposed changes.

20. Tho reference of this latest con-glomerate to the senate.

"As the Democratic party in the States are taking the MoKinley duties off our agricultural products, and next summer farming will be more profitable than heretofore, the subscriber would hereby intimate that she is about to sell her fine farm."

The above advertisement was copied from Tho Weekly Patriot, published at Charlottetown, P. E. L, under date of March 15, 1894. The advertiser evident-ly believes that the Canadians pay the duty and that good times are coming for Canada

Traitors of t he Country.

The Wilson tariff bill is only in favor of importers. Many so called Democrats in congress voted for it because they do not know what is r ight or for tho bene-fit of the people at largo in this country. How many senators will vote for it we do not know at present The elections wo had .lately in different parts of the country prove, however, what tho peo-ple think of the Wilson bill It is not so much tho Democratic or Republican party as the tariff question, but nine-tenths of onr present congressmen and sonators who vote for the passing of the Wilson tariff bill may oonsidor this their last term in office. I suppose the majority of the people at large will look' upon them as traitors of the country.—: P. PryibiL

The woman who must have dimples or die has only to invest in the dimple producing machine, which an English paper says has been invented and pat-ented by a woman with an eye for beauty and with a speculativo turn of mind. She, of all others, ought to bo re-warded with one or more of theso fetch-ing marks of beauty, providing she can onduro I ho torture of her own device, which is r. kind of mask arranged with screws and wooden points that press upon tho chceka or chin where the dim-ples ought, to bo.

Wr i t e Your F r i ends About H o m e Seekers ' Excurs ions in to Miohigan .

AB a reault of the efforts of the mana-gers of the Chicago & West Michigan and some other Mio.iigan Railways, three Home Seekers' Excursions will be run into Michigan this year.

Fory«ars past the State has been drained of its agricultural population for the benefit of western states by rea-BOU of the sale of excursion tickets at low rates, to people desiring a new lo-cation or attracted by the glowing (sometimes overdrawn) accounts of the Western lands.

The tables will be turned this summer and fall, and an opportunity offered for farmers and others in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia etc., to come to Michigan, with a view to locate in the best state in the Union.

Tickets will be sold on July 10th, Au-gust 14th, and September 18th, from principal points in above named states, to nearly all points in Michigan at one way fare for round trip. Tickets will be good to return within 20 days from date of sale. Stopoff will be allowed on the C. & W. M. Ry. at any point north of St. Joseph and at any point on the D. L. & N. north and west of Lansing,

Write your friends about this oppor-tunity to visit Michigan and get them to locate here if possible. We are in-tereeted in getting settlers into the state especially along our lines, which, for the most part, run through as good farm-ing and fruit lands as can be found any-where. The "Michigan Fruit Belt" is famous the country over, and includes the entire eastern shore of Lake Michi-gan.

We are doing all we know how to en-courage the movement of settlers into the State, and we appeal to you who are reading this to assist us for "Michi-gan the Great State."

Before a oonvention the J O U R N A L may have its candidate, but after the nomi-nations are made the party's choice is the J O U R N A L ' S choice.

A conference was held in Detroit last Wednesday, in which Rfpublicans from all parts of the state participated, which culmenated in the organization of a "One Term Club," the idea being that Michigan had plenty of material to ac-ceptably fill the Gubernatorial chair and that a better chance would be given all if the party declared in favor of one term only.

Hayermeyer, the sugar king, testified before the special committee of the Sen-ate to investigate the "Sugar" Job, that he came to Washington to attend to the sugar legislation and that he had suc-ceeded pretty well, thank you. for while under the McKinly law his maximum profit could only be ^ cent a pound, un-der the schedule of the Senate amend-ment he could make one cent a pound, a difference in favor of the "trust" of f cents a pound on their total output, a benefit to them of millions of dollars each year.

The M. E. church is about to make quite extended repairs and internal im-provements.

The re-seating will give accomodation for more than can at present be seated, while the parlor may be opened up and furnish accomodations for about one hundred and fifty more.

G. J. Johnson, the Grand Rapids cigar manufacturer, is haying trouble with union and a boycott has been declared against his goods. Johnson run a shop in Lowell a couple of years ago and it was a union shop, but he has since been compelled to put in improved machines for a part of the work, to meet competi-tion, hence the boycott. However his ciKBrs will continue at their old time standard of quality. A party was in town last week working the boycott but he had poor success in this place, where Gerrit Johnson has so many friends and acquaintances ond his goods have so many warm admirers.

The appointment of John Patton jr. as Senator has been made the excuse for numerous aspirants for congressional honors to announce their candidacy. While the numerous candidates will split the votes some it will make no dif-ference with the final results as there is a strong sentiment, it is more than a sentiment, it is a demand, all over the district for the nomination of Wm. A1 den Smith. He is first choice of a large majority of the Republicans of this dis-trict and should and will be the nomi-nee. The people admire him for his energy, ability and tenacity, ap well as for his loyalty to the party and they re-member that in years past he has pushed himself and his personal aspir-ations aside in the interest of party har-mony. The fact that he came up from among the people, from penury and ex-treme poverty, by his own efforts and today ranks with the best minds of the state is another endearing tie that binds him to the people. In electing our delegates to the county convention we must be sure that the men we send will favor his candidacv and elect delegates to the congressional convention who will stand by him.

One for Bliss.

H A R V E Y , III., June 14, '94 Dear Editor J O U R N A L :

I see. in your last issue, that Col. A. T. Bliss is mentioned as putting himself in the field for nomination for Governor of the State of Michigan. An acquaint-ance from boyhood warrants me in say-ing: No man in Michigan is better qualified for the offlce than Col. Bliss. He is a thorough business man,a straight Republican, possessed of fine social qualities and is a man the Republican Party of Michigan ought to be proud to honor by an election to the highest of-fice in the gift of the people, in the beet state in the union.

A R R A N G E D .

P r o g r a m of t h e Sse rc i ses a n d a Few Inc i -den t a l flnggestions.

Lowell's celebration is now under way, and nearly full arrangements are completed for one of the biggest times ever held h»re. The several committees have entered enthuniastically into the work and have each and every one done their part and in a masterly manner. Special excursions will be run so that people adjacent to the railroads center-ing in Lowell can get here without trouble.

HON. HAZEN S. P INGREE

Detroit's noted mayor, will deliver the address. This is sure. Your editor was a member of the committee to obtain a speaker and personally went to Detroit and has Mr Pingree's promise to be with us. Mr Pingree is one of Michigan's most famous men and stands a first class chance of being a future governor of this atate and he will be as delighted to meet you as yon can be to meet him. Come to Lowell and get acquainted with him. Mr Pingree is a man of the people, his record as mayor ot Michi-gan's first city shows that, he has lifted that city from one of the worse govern-ed to one of the best and most econo-mically governed cities m the United States.

The other portions of tho first part of the day u also well cared for and a rare treat is assured to all who come. In the afternoon the sports will be given, they will consist of horse races, a trot-ting race and a running race, and bicy-cle races on Train's track, just across the river from the Island. Foot races and othor athlttic sports on Main St., and swiming races in the pond, just above the dam. There will be no ad-mission charged to see any of these events nor any entry fee for participants, everything free.

In the afternoon there will be a THRILLING BALLOON ASCENSION AND

PARACHUTE DROP

by Prof. Dear, in which he will ascend 1500 feet hanging by his teeth and 1500 feet hanging by his toes and drop from that point headforemost with his para-chute, alighting gracefully and safely. There will be no exhibiton of fire works as in order to see them well it detains the country people from home too late, the committee believing that the people had rather have more fun crowded earlier into the day.

Don't by any manner of means miss our colebration. Come to Lowell and have a royal time. Show your patrio-tism and love of your Country by assist-ing in the celebration of the anniver-sary of its birth. While for the past year it may not have been so prosper-ous as we may have wished still Our Country is the most, prosperous and best under the sun and deserves that we shonid show our appreciation on the anniversary of its birth.

Clarksv i l l e ' i G rea t Day.

Clarksville entertained the bands of the surrounding country on June 12th and made it a gala day for this ennre section. The crowd in attendance was much larger than was expected and a first class time was enjoyed by all. There were nine bands in the procession and they each and every one received numerous compliments. The Lowell boys did themselves proud, carrying off the honors of the day. The speakers were Messrs Stowe, of Saranac, Hicks, of Lowell, and Dillenbeck, of Wood-land. Lowell was represented by about forty of her business men. In return-ing the carryall containing the band was overturned at the foot of Jones' hill, spilling the boys out and jamming the instruments quite badly, but fortunately no one was hurt.

Above the dusk of the windy forest The young March moon is silvery coli.

Come, love, and lean on tbe gate beside ma. And I will tell yon a legend old.

A Jealous wizard with whitened tresses Beheld a maiden with yellow hair.

And seized her form in his frosty fingera, Aud bore her far to his icy lair.

He bound her fast in a sleep enchanted,, Aud hid her deep In a grave of gloom.

Till over the purple seas came sailing A slender jirince, with a pale green plume.

From the withered grans and earth above her

He brushed the wreaths of the snow aside And slew Uie wizard, whose name was Win-

ter, And she rose from the tomb tobehishr lde.

Look! There she stands by the broken trellis. Where budding sprays of the Ivy cling.

For the captive maid was the golden crocus; Her gaQaot lover, the prince, is Spring!

Venetian Mirrors.

The beauty aud almost absolute per-fection characterizing rhe mirrors pro-duced in the manufactories of Venice are mainly due, it is said, to the pecul-iar solution applied to rhe surface. Pre-liminary to this application the giass is thoroughly cleaned with wet whiting, then washed with distilled water and prepared for the silver with a sonsitiz-ing solution of tin, which is well rinsed off immediately 'before its removal to the silvering table, and the latter be-ing raised to the proper tcmperatnre the glass is laid and the silvering solu-tion i.t once poured over it before the heat of the table has time to diy any part of the surface of the glass. The so-lution used is prepared as follows: In one-half liter of distilled water 100 grains of nitrate of silver are dissolved, to this being added 62 grains of liquid ammonia of 0.88 specific gravity. The mixture is filtered and made up to eight liters with distilled water, and 7 5-10 grams of tartaric acid dissolved in 80 grams of water are mixed with the so-lution. About 2 5-10 liters- are poured over the glass meter to he silvered, the metal immediately commencing to de-posit on the glass, which is maintained at about 104 degrees F., and in a little more than a half hour a continuous coat-ing of silver is formed. After careful wiping with chamois the surface is treated a second time with a solution like the first, but containing a double quantity of tartaric acid.—New York Sun.

The oldest grapevine in the country was indeed interesting.

It grows straight up for about 8 feet, then di-vides into six branches, and at this point is 5 feet in djcumferenoe.

Bishop Polk of Louisiana, who wrved po zoalotLsly in tho Confederate army, had one adventure at the battle of Per-ryville whioh is best told in his own words. Ho says:

About dark, shortly af ter the arrival of Liddell 's brigade, 1 obsiirved a Inxly of men whom I believed to be Confed-erates gtanding at an angle to this bri-gade and tiring obliquely at tho newly arrived troops.

"Dear me , " said I, " th is is very sad I t must bo stopped. " S o l turned round, but eould find none of my young men, who were about on various messages. I determined to ride up myself and settle tho matter. I cantered up to the colonel of the regiment, asked him in angry tones wbat he meant by shooting at his friends and desired him to cease doing so at once.

" I don' t think there can be any mis-take about i t , " he said, wi th some sur-prise. " I am sure they are tho enemy."

"Enemy!" I said. "Why, I havo only just left them myself. Cease firing, sir! What is your name, sir?"

"My name is Colonel of the , and pray, sir, who are you?"

Then, for the first time, I saw to my astonishment that ho was a Federal, and that I was in the rear of the Federal lines. 1 knew there was no hope but in brazening it out, my dark blouse and the increasing obscurity befriending me, so 1 approached quite cloee to him, shook my fist in his face and said:

" I ' l l soon show you who I a m Cease firing at onoe!"

I then turned my horee and cantered slowly down the line, shouting in an authoritative manner to the Federals to oease firing.

At the same time I experienced a dis-agreeable sensation like screwing up my beck and calculating how many bullets could lie between my shoulders. I was afraid to increase my pace t i l l I got to a •m*ll copse, and then I put the spurs in and galloped back to my men. I rode up to the nearest officer and said to him, "Colonel, I have Eeoonnoitered those fel-lows pretty closely, and there is no mis-take about their being Federals!"— Youth's Companion. _

"Dnt MPIS Kenton was railly killed? Nobody can't diskiber what hain' t so, kin dey? I ' fe gwine ober dar jest to prove dat ho wasn't dun ki l led."

"Uncle Pon. ' ' said Marian as she placed a hand on either shoulder and looked into his eyes, " i f you can bring me news that Mr. Kenton is alive, I ' l l make you a free man before the week i soa t l "

" H u ! What I want to leave yo' an de missus an becnin free nigger for? Reckon 1 wants to go to de porehouse or jail? Hain' t I alius bin like ono o' de family? Could de family git along widout Uncle Ben? Whar would yo' be right now but f u r me?"

'That 's irue. Uncle Ben. You were born on the place, and you know bow nuch we all think of you. I t would Dreak our hearts to have yon go, slave though you are and always have been in tbe eyes of the law. But you shall be rewarded. Uncle Ben. Only bring ms good news, and your reward shall be p e a t l "

"Hush up dat noise, honey!" hecbid-sd as he made ready to depar t " I f fo ' l l let de ole man lib right on in de Caraily, dat ' l l be reward 'nuff. I ' l l be back by foah o'clock tomorrer, and ['II bring yo' de news dat M a n Keoton un all r i g h t "

Marian watched him as be strode bravely down the frozen highway and ranished into the dusk of evening, and is she turned away fresh tears came to ier eyes, and she murmured:

"Brave and unselfish oldslavel God p-ant that be may bring a message to relieve my anxieties!"

CHAPTER XXH. While Uncle Ben was slowly progress-

ing along the frozen and slippery high-way, and when he bad reached a point about three miles from Rest Haven, be suddenly encountered about a dozen men, most of whom were mounted. All but one were in citizens' dress, and be at first supposed them to be farmers. They rushed upon the old man with a shout and pistols and knives were flour-ished before his face as the gang cried out:

" H a n g him up!" "Slice off his ears !" "Bui ld a fire and roast bim if be lies

to us!" " F o ' do Lawd, gem'len, but what 's

de mat ter?" asked the old man as soon he could get in a word. 'We want them two Yankees!" shout-

ed three or four men in chorus. "W-wha t Yankees? I nebber dun

seen a Yankee sence dat big army went by de bouse on hore 'back!"

" Y o ' lie, yo' old black faced devil!" •aid the leader as he got off his horse and seized Uncle Ben by the collar.

Now, then, tell ns where they are bid-ing! Don't pretend to us that yo' hare not seen 'em, for we know better! Ont with It now, or yo' won' t live two min-utes!"

" W h a t yo' mean?" asked tbe old man, who was badly upset over tbe sud-den attack.

We mean just th is : We've been fol-lowing two Yankee spies along the mountain nearly all day. One of tbem was wounded about an hour ago. They were headed this way. and yo' must have met tbem and know where they oow are. Did they send yo' for a doc-tor!-"

• 'Nebber. sab. nebber! 1 tole yo" de troof. I nebber did meet up wid nobody sence I elarted fr^oi de bouse!"

" F r o m what boaser" " D a t house I - ̂ dar which b'longs

1 'j y bad looked upon i t as jnst a j Jbat Uncle Ben had ecccunUncG J ;; e men !b' v wi re after, and their vig-il -. us mear ; : .a were intended to frigfat-j 3. tbe inl<Tinarion out of bim. While

j e was trembling arid afraid, his tones satisfied tbe crowd that be was telling tbe trntb. It woniJn ' t do to let bim dowc too easily, bowerei. Tbe negroes of l i e ooontry were Lrtaking over all rules and regulations and traveHmg abcat a t night toconfer with each other in<! plan escapcs to tbe Federal camps.

' Now, t ben , " said tbe leader of tbe baud, " y o ' have bad a powerful close tal l , and yo' want toiemember i t : Nig-gers have DO BASIDEFIS away from borne af te r dark. Yo" were probably going to Harriscnbarg to give yo'self up to tbe Yankees, bnt ire'II spoil that Utile i ame! This will do yo' a beapof goCd"?

And tbereopoa, holding Cncle Eeo with bis lift band by a firm grip on his ooliar, be used a rawhide over tbe old man's back and legs with his right and admisirtered tbe first whipping of his life. When his a rm bad grown weary, be stopped and sa id :

" N o w , yo' make a beeline for borne and don' t stop to rest ca tbe way! If any odber prowling niggers ask yo' about

battle a t Harrisonburg, yo' tel l bim yo ' was in i t and get licked! Gee-

As tbe bid man beaded for Rest Ha-ren tbe gang <1f men rode in tbe c tber directacm. He stepped out a t a lively

^ %• zy a-c r

then stopped and turned to shake bis fist and whisper:

"Whi te man, I 'zoonly a pore ole nig-ger, but somebody has got to bleed fur dis! Nobody ebber put a whip on Uncle Ben befo' sence he was a pickaninny, an I ' l l kill yo' fu r dnt as shore as I ebber git de chancel"

He at first thought of resuming his journey toward Harrisonburg, bul a iuo-ment 's reflection convinced bim that if ho fell Into the hands of the same party again his life would be in peril. He re-alized how much disappointed Marian would be, i ot he would return and re-port and pei haps make a new s t a r t He bad covered t ^ miles of tbe backtrack when at a turn in the road a man step-ped out fiom the rosks at bis left and urdered him to halt and added:

"Who an* y a ' V " U n c U Beu Percy ." "What , is that yo,* Uncle Ben?" " F u r sbore, but I ha in ' t dun met up

wid no Yankee spies, jess as I told yo' be fo ' . " '

"Unc l s Ben, don't yo' un know me?" asked the man as be came nearer. " I ' v e talked with yo' many a time In Win-chester befo* th? war. I 'm Steve Bray-ton . "

"Fo* de Lawdl Yea, I 'member yo' t voice! I dun reckoned yo' was some mo' of dat crowd wbat was gwine tor kill n j e l "

" H e v yo* met up with anybodyT" "De Lawd furg^ve me, but I has!

"Yankee spies?" queried Steve. " A h , I understand! AnZ *re yo' with the Percy fam' ly . Uncle Bo t? "

" F o r shore ." "Do they uns live nigh yere?" " 'Bout a mile away, s ab . " " A n d whar war yo' goin when yo'

" H e d id?" "Yes, sab, an den Miss Sunshine cum

out to me wid her face as white as snow an tears in her eyes an a big lump in her froat, an when I seed how powerful she felt I dun said I would go an find out dat Mars Kenton was all r i g h t . "

"See yere. Uncle Ben, I 've got sun-thin to tell yo ' ! " said Bray ton as he drew bim out of the road. " M a r s Ken-ton is up yere among the rocks and bresh!"

'Fo* d e L a w d ! " . 'That gang was af ter tbe two of us,

"Thank God l" she whispered as she raised her clasped bands to tbe bright stars in tbe winter sky.

" B u t dar 's trubble, Miss Sunshine— heaps 0' trubble! Dey was tryin to git ober yere when some gorillas reckoned dey was Yankee spies an dun shotted Mais Kenton. He hain ' t dead, but he ' i bad hurt, an he's lyln In tbe bresh an rocks down yere 'bout a mile. I met dat Steve Brayton, an he dun tole me all 'bout I t "

"Roya l Kenton wounded—badly hurt and lying in the brush this winter 's n ight !" moaned Marian as she grasped Uncle Ben by the arm.

" H i s t da r !" he cautioned. " W e mustn ' t woke up de missus or da t Bax-ter woman. Now, den, yo' be brave. Yo's got to be! Stove Brayton he dun said I was to bring back blankets an bandages an sunthin to e a t We must step around mighty softly an pick 'em n p l "

"And I will go back with yon! God grant that bis l ife may be sparedl"

lug in his heart. ' H e could not credit i t at first, but Captain Wyle aided him In his mental struggle. The day came when Dee had an ambition and a burn-ing desire. I t was to be a corporal or sergeant. In his wild dreams of glory he did not stop there. He determined to go higher and becomo a lieutenant or captain. As soon as he was given to understand that Royal Kenton stood in his way it was but natural with one of his nature to determine to remove the obstacle by any means possible.

Before the war the " Y a n k e e , " both as a man and as tbe representative of a section of the republic, had few friends in the south. He was supposed to be hostile to ell southern " ins t i tu t ions ." The more ignorant the southerner tho more heartily he hated and despised the citizen of the north. He believed what the fire eating politicians pretended to I believe and often asserted. The John Brown raid upon slavery in Virginia ! and the events in "Bleeding KanBaa" j served to intensify tbe sectional bate of :

the "poor whi tes ." Thus it was that Ike Baxter, picking up bis crumbs of | history and bis bits of information on current events at the doors of the livery stable or ar ond tbe stove of the bar-room, was something of a local cham-pion in thD matter of Yankee hating. If Kenton had not stood between bim ar ' military glory, he would still have felt a bitterness toward him as a man born in the north. Uncle Ben's cautions sp-

Ike. "Dunno, but sunthin's happened sum-

"Yes, a double bar ' I 'd shotgun." "Then bring it back with yo', and

" F o ' de Lawd!" muttered the old man as he setoff at his best pace. " D a t around yere sumwhar. and the nigger's Cap'an Wyle he lie to Miss Sunshine, takin out stuff to him!

Uncle Ben bad only a few hundred y<»nk tbe start, and the man on his trail sooa lessened tbe distance until he could bear tbe old man's footsteps and make oat a shadowy form through tbe darkness. There seemed nothing more certain than that be would follow on and uncover tbe biding place of the fn-

"Hush, chile! Yo1 can't go wid me lonight, but tomorrer. Dat 's what Steve Brayton dun said. When I git back dar, I ' l l see Mars Kenton wid my own eyes, an I'll tell hhn ail 'bout yo. an I ' l l stay right dar all night tfn nnss h i m . "

"Oh, Uncle Ben, but I feel that 1 must go to h i m "

CHAPTER XXIII. As was stated in a previous chapter,

Captain Wyle's company, along with others, had been returned to tho valley and placed under the oiders of General Imboden. Ike Baxter and tbe others captured at Kernatown had rejoined the company when exchanged. Ike felt more than ever that Royal Kenton was an enemy he must get rid of, and Cap-tain Wyle encouraged this feeling in vaHona ways, though never openly and directly committing himself. On two occasions Ike had been granted leave of absence to visit bis wife. Both times be bad met her secretly.

The spirit which animated this bum-ble twain will surprise only those who have never encountered tbe "poor whites" of the south. Nine out of ten of the bloody and long continued feuds we read of in southern communities begin among the poor and Ignorant Tbe cause is generally of trifling char-acter. The "poor whi te" may be hum-bled by the law, but outside of the courtroom be hates with an intensity hard to realize. He is persistent, cun-ning, merciless. Ike Baxter had never had an ambition In bis l ife np to the hour he enlisted. He could barely read and write, was naturally lazy and In-diffei^nt and felt no pride in anything except the fact that ho was "bet ter than a nigger ." When be found that cor-porals and sergeants were lookod np to and respected, there came a queer feel-

shadow of the high bank, dropped bis bund le , and taking a firm grip of bis gun be mentally resolved to make a fight for It if he was overhauled by tbe same crowd as before. A few seconds later he realized that only one person was approaching. Tbe footfalls were too heavy for a woman. He bad just decided this point when a man loomed up in tbe darkness before bim and halt-ed almost within a rm ' s length to mut-ter:

"Dra t my bide, but has that ole nig-ger left the road an giv me the slip? I heard he un only a minit ago, bnt h im's dun gone now!"

I t was Ike Baxter of course. He stood peering and listening for half a minute and then growled:

" I orter hev run be un right down an made bim show me the way! Now the cussed Yankee may gi t away from me! No, he won't though! I ' l l bunt over every foot of this country bnt wbat I ' l l find him an hev bis scalp!"

Uncle Ben did not recognize tbe man a t all, as i t bad been many months since he bad beard Ike Baxter 's voice. I t was instantly plain to him. however, that tbe man was a determined enemy and was seeking Royal Kenton's life. Ike took three or four steps forward and stopped again to listen. Noiselessly and with such a feeling as be had never experienced before Uncle Ben clubbed his gun, took one silent step forward

Kenton hain ' t dead but hnrted, a* de Lawd only knows what 's gwine to bap-pea t o m c r w ! "

Tbe invalid mother had fallen into a light sleep, and Marian sat thinking. Sbe and Mrs. Baxter had taken turns a t watching with tbe sick, and%this was her n i g h t while tbe ctber bad gone to the help's ^oarters. Cock- Ben need not have been cautioned aboat Mrs. Bax-ter. as be felt that be tborcnghly nnder-slood her dispositic®. He torned off tbe gitivee. For nearly three-quarters of a toad to approach the boose from another mile the slave messenger had hot one

idea—to return to Steve Brayton as fast as possible. He was hurrymg along when a sudden thought flashed through bis brain, and be instinctively stepped aside and halted to listen.

" H o w do 1 know bat what dat wom-3 an dun heard me git de gun an is fol-

lerin me?*' be whispered to himself. "She 'd do i t ! She':# powerful wicked, she am! An mebbe some mo' of dem gorillas am waitin long yere to grab me an giv me acodder wMppin!"

He was listening as well as whisper-ing, and af te r a minute be beard tbe •oends of footsteps coming down tbe

direction, and so softly did he d r a T near that tbe first warning Marian bad of his presesce was a tapping 00 tbe window pane. He pressed his old black

face against tbe glass that she tnigh! know wbo wat tbere, and a moment later she stocd oateide tbe door with a shawl thrown over bet bead.

" Y o u are back. Uncle Ben—what's tbe mat ter?" tbe asked.

"Heaps de mattah. Miss Sanshine, be&p9. I dun met u p wid mo' dan fo ' ty bushels o ' trubble! I ' se news f u r y o ' ! "

"You—yon met some one wbo told you about Mr. Kenton?"

; * » Kaa* i w to

L'nde Ben dubbed hit gun. and next instant brought tbe heavy stock down upon Ike 's head and felled bim to the earth. Tbe man sank down without a cry or groan, and af ter wait-ing half a minute tbe old man gasped out :

"May de good Lawd dnn forgive me, but I had to do i t fo r Miss Sunshine's sake!"

He picked up his bundles and has-tened on and 10 minutes later was tell-ing Steve Brayton what bad happened.

" G l a d of I t ! " replied the latter. "Reckon I orter go op thar and make shore he's dead, f o r I sorter think bis name are Ike Baxter . Hain ' t got no t i n e , thoogh—not jest now. This way. Uncle Ben . "

Li t t le Mliinle'H Story.

I WHB living in Philadelphia FOIIIH

years »go, my home being near Broad and Buttonwood-Hta., and ray place of husinusa at Ihe corner of Seventh and Chestnut, h y work compelled me to stay downtown till nearly 12 every night, and when it was not storming I always walked home for the sake of the exercise, and to enjoy the quiet of the streets, for despite popular rumor to the contrary, some Philadelphia streets are as much crowded in the diiytime as those of New York.

Three nights every week, and usually : about half-past 11, I always Haw a tall, shabbily dressed girl of 15 or 10 stand-ing near Spruce and Broad-ts., with her hand extended for alms, though she never spoke unless spoken to?

1 The first time I saw this jdrl there wa- a cold wind blowing, and ner pinch-ed i.ice and thin, frayed cotton dre-s at-tracieU my attention and touched my heart, and though I had vowed that i would never help street beggar8,a8 near-ly all of them are imposters, I decided to help this poor girl, but before doing so I asked:

"Wha t is your name?" "Minnie, sir," she replied, in a weak,

tremulous voice. "But why do you beg on tbe streets

at this time of n i g h t n asked, as I took a coin from my pocket, and held .it over her thin, trembling hand.

"My mother's got consumption," said the girl, and she coughed as if she had the awful dlseatie herself, and added, "and i have to nurse her in the day-time, and then I don't want her to know how I get money."

"But why don't you make your case known to the doctors or clergy, or other kind people; there are many ready to as-sist you if you go to tbem and tell them the truth?"

"I—I don't know, sir," she stammered. I gave the girl the girl the coin, blam-

ing myself the next minute for having violated my vow, and almost certain that the girl bad not told me the truth.

The weather having moderated, I wore a lighter coat a few nights after this, and Minnie came across my path with the same extended hand, and for-getting that she had told me her story, she varied it by adding two little sisters to her list of dependents.

I gave her nothing, and after that I watched out for. her and avoid ' her. Once I thought seriously of calling an ofiicier and having her arrested, but I am very glad now th it I did not do so.

About four months after my first meeting Minnie, I was startled by see-ing her before me. with the thin hand extended, and the same faded calico dress hanging limp over her attenuated form. It was the same face, the sad, pleading, gray eyes, and the delicate blue lips were the eame, but instead of being tall, she had shrunk into a girl of 12, and not very well grown at that.

"Why Minnie," I asked in surprise, "what has changed you so."

"Please, sir," responded the low, tremulous voice, " I ain't Minnie."

"Not Minnie?" I explained.. "No, sir." "Then you are her ghost." "No,bir; I'm her sister," said the child;

"out we all look like ghosts at times, 1 guess."

She then went on to tell me that her father died many years before, and that her mother died six months ago. and that Minnie, on whom depended the support of Alice—tbe girl talking to me—and a younger brother, was In bed sick, and she did not think she could live.

I gave Alice some money and took her address. The next morning I told my aunt—a most philanthropic woman —of the case, and she said she would look it up at once,and if the people were worthy she would see that all tbeir wants are relieved.

The next day I met my aunt and she said:

" I t is aa I feared about that girl." "Wha t do you mean," I asked. "Why, I went to the address you

gave me, and found no such people nor could I learn anything about them.

I was puzzled and mortified, but my good aunt solved my doubts by saying:

" I will call at your office at 11 tonight. This girl will be begging on the streets as usual. We shall see her, and if she does not take us to her home then it may be well to report the case to the police.

I agreed to this, and that night my aunt called for me. and we went to the place where I always saw Minnie, and where Alice was now appealing to the charity of the belated.

We looked and searched for fully an hour, but could not find the girl.

" W e must try it again tomorrow night." said my aunt,who was not the woman to undertake a thing and give up beaten while tbere wa" any hope of success.

We tried it tne next night, and with more success, for we came at once upon Alice with her pinched face and her ex-tended thin hand.

Speaking kindly, but firmly, my aunt said:

" I t is evident, my poor child, that you are suffering and need help and sympathy, and you shall have both; but first you must take me to your home and let me see for myself how you live."

The little girl was very much fright-tened, but my uunt, with her kindly, womanly ways, soon won her over and she agreed to take us to her home.

She led us to a dirty, dimly-lit alley-way a few streett to the east, and into u dim hallway, and up a creaking stalro to the top floor, the sound of painful coughing from above growing louder and louder.

At length thn child epened a door,and ushered UH into a little room, where a tallow candle burned. On a ragged cov-erlet a little boy lay asleep, and on the bed that half-filled the room lay my old friend Minnie, with the bright light in her eyes and the hectic death banners of consumption on her sunken cheeks.

Tho story was this, the mother had died some six months bofure, and her last words were a plea to Minnie to keep her brother ami sister together. Be-lieving that the "sick mother" would be the best card to play, the poor girl had kept up the falsehood after her mother was dead, in order to care for the broth-er and sietfr.

Need I say that Minnie was forgiven her deceit? Indeed, there were many moist eyes when her story became known. Need I say either that poor girl well cared for in better quarters after this, and that her last hours were made happy by the assurance that her little brother and sister would not be parted?

The examiner wished to get the chil-dren to expree moral reprobation of lazy people, and he led up to it by jisking who were the persons who got all they could and did nothing in return. For some lime thero was silence; but at last the little girl, who had obviously rrasou-ed out the answer inductively from her own home experiences, exclaimed with a good deal of confidence, "Please, sir. it's the baby."

"What are you crying about, my ht-t le-manr "J immy O'Brien licked me first an' then father licked me for let-ting Jimmy lick me, and then Jimmy-licked me for telling fathea, an' now I suppose I shall catch it again from father."

"How long dots she want them?" Susie looked flustered. " I don't

know, but I think mamma wants them to keep.''

"Well, my fine little fellow, you have got quite well again! I was sure that the pills I left for you would cure you. How did you take them, in water or in cake?" -Oh , I used them in my pop gnu."

Saturday afternoon four men were en-gaged in raising on jack screws a house belonging to John Anderson, in the northern suburb of this city known as Fiuntown. when a storm came np quite unexpectedly and the men sought shelter In the basement of tho building, si t t ing quite near to ono another on the blockings of the jacks. They had not been long under tho shelter when a blinding flash of light-ning accompanied by an almost simul-taneous crash of thunder gave warn-ing of the electrical danger in tho air. The house was struck by the bolt and Ri*t, on lire. An alarm was immediately turned iu and the fire department promptly responded. A glance into the base-ment disclosed to the foremost lire-man the apparently lifeless bodies of the four men. and the report that tho four men had been killed by lightning was soon circulated around town. Medical assistance was soon on the ground and af te r the usual tests aud methods of resuscitation it was found that only two of them were dead, Nels Bergstrom and Peter Grignon. Peter Peterson still retained a spark of vitality and thero are some hopes of his recovery. The fourth man, Swen Bergstrom, a broth-er of one of tho killed, was severely shocked, but is now entirely out of danger.

I RON wool), June IU.—From present indications it appears that tho miners' strike will not become general in this city or on the Gogebic range. Owing to the large number of different na-tionalities represented in tho union, there was a misunderstanding as to the date fixed for the strike, and the non-union men who sympathized with tho movement for higher wages and were believed to be willing to quit work also had not been notified of tho action of the labor union. Conse-quently not over 400 men remained away from ' h e mines Monday. Tho East Norrie ,fas the only property a t which operations were entirely sus-pended. The skilled miners a t the East Norrie are nearly all Irishmen and they felt greatly ag-! grieved upon learning tha t they were the only crew to quit work in a body. The mine resumed Moqday i night and the men who struck there will go back to work. A committee of four nonunion men from each of tho six shaf t s at the Norrie waited on Capt TreUlcock, superintendent of the Norrie, and asked for an increase in wages, but Mr. Trebllcock stated tha t it could not bo granted. The men, both union and nonunion, are dlscon-tente 1 and the question of inaugurat-ing a general strike is still being agi-tated.

I t Demooatratc* the For tu i ty of Engi-neer ing Ingcuulty.

A novel and Ingenious use tha t was ; made some time ago of a rapid river ' current in India .apt ly i l lustrates the

fert i l i ty of resource of the average en-gineering contractor. At a certain point along the river a temporary bridge waa urgent ly necessary for the t ransport of materials to be used in the building of an Importaut neighbor-ing structure, bu t the only available material waa a q u a n t i t y of three-inch planking, about ten feet long and a l i t t le over three feet wide, and some ordinary round timber cut from a neighboring fo res t Pontoons were made of two single planks, placed about fifteen fee t apart, each plank being held on edge a t an angle of about fifty degrees from the vertical, both inclining up stream, and kept a t their proper distance by f raming made from the round t imber already men-tioned. Both pontoons were moored to a chain. The peculiarity of the bridge, of course, was that the water pressure upon the inclined surfaces of the planks due to a swift current per-mitted them to carry a considerable load, and the structure served its pur-pose admirably, accommodating a pret ty lively traffic for an unexpected-ly long period.

A Snbniarlne Plain.

The bottom of the Pacific between Ilawaii and California is said to be so level that a railroad conld be laid for five hundred miles without al tering

j the grade anywhere. This fact was discovered by the United States sur-veying vessel engaged in making

i soundings with the view of laying a i cable.

{ THE gold enameling on watches ia very pretty. This does not refer to the solid enameling, but to the gold sur-

, laces covered with pretty floral orna-mentations in enamel.
