Chevennk, Wyo., Dec. 20. By
tlirewd tactics the republican at
torneys have forced the democrat)
to Mtake nearly everything on a
motion preliminary to and not es
sentially h part of the proponed in
veHtifiation of the Carbon county
returns. The democrats nuked for
a mandamus to compel the state
returning board to accept the can
vass of Carbon county made by two
justice of the peace. The board has
used the ubslinct sent in by the
clerk, the officer directed by law to
furnish the results. The difference
U that the clerk's certificate elected
two republicans to the legislature,
uud the abstract made by the
Justice two democrats. The clerk
found that returns from a certain
precinct had been tampered with by
democrats. The ballots had been
destroyed and the poll-books were
crooked. In the petition made by
the democrats for a mandamus
they direct the suit to all members
of the state canvassing board, but
the governor. The republicans
want them to mention that official
If they recognize Mr. Osborne the
oquatter, they must claim that all
the work so far done by the canvas
King board is of no effect. If they
recognize Harber they must ignore
Osborne, whose sieir.ure of the office
by entering through a window has
been indorsed by a state congress
of democrats. If they maintain
that the governor is not a member
of the board they are inconsistent
in their claim that the Carbon
county justices are members of the
board. Ade:ision on this motion
will likely be had tomorrow.
NVSTI-kMtlL'.S MiATH CUiAKKI) t'l.
Fakco, N. Dak., Dec. The
mystery of the death of Killiau
Kossick, a farmer, who mysteri
ously disappeared from Willow
City on the -.")th of last June, has
been wuivcd. Two men named
Taylor and Cook, who were cutting
timber on the mountains between
Willow City and Dunsith. were
startled yesterday by seeing a
uiau's hip bones sticking out of the
(now. I!y investigating they dis
covered part of a skeleton, with an
old musket lying beside it. The
Bottineau county coroner was noti
fied, and search was made. The
ukclctiMi had been fearfully raked
by wild beasts, the bones being
scattered around for several yards.
A coat, vest and shirt were found
together. A leg bone and a foot,
with the rem mints of the trousers
and a shoe, were found several rods
away. The skull was missing.
Thu- clothing was recognized by
Hossick's partner. The gun was
also recognized as one Bossiek had
bought a day or two previous to
his disappearance. Killiau Hossick
was an old settler in Bottineau
county, and his wealth was esti
mated at $."i),0i:;. At the time he
disappeared there was suspicion of
foul play, but subsequently letters
written by him, saying he was tired
of life, turned up.
Washington, 1). C, Dec. 'JO.-Inquiry
ut the I Maine- residence, this
morning elicited the information
that the patient is improving.
Dr. Johnson visited Dlaine at V)
o ciock and remained n sort time,
oubsequently summarized the pa
tients condition by saying: "1M jine
is as well asyesttrday morning. II
eema refreshed after a good night's
rest. Dlaine has no trouble in
(deepiti;. There is no basis what
ever for the report tint he has had
u hemorrhage."
The newspaper men again asked
of bis physician today what was the
real nature of the disease from
which Dlaine is suffering. They
were given to undcrtaud that it is
by the wish of the family that this
is kept from the public. They think
if it were made public it would
open a large field for discussion
that would be intensely disagree,
able to the family.
Mr. Dlaine is tonight resting
quietly, lie has during the greater
portion of the evening been in pro
found slumber, in fact so profound
that it was with difficulty he could
lie awakened by his attendants to
receive fhe usual nourishment. His
physician, who called at midnight,
tood at hia bedside upward of
half an hour for the purpose of con
versing with him, but as he showed
no sign of awakening he left the
house. In reply to the questions of
the reporter he said:
"The fact that Mr. Dlaine sleeps
no soundly is not evidence that he
is in a state of coma; on the con
trary, it shows that he is enjoying a
natural rest, aided in a measure, of
course, by the soothing opiates. He
has spent a remarkably good day
and evening and there no present
indications of immediate danger."
CIIAKGEH WITH WIFE MUKHEE.
Den i son, Tex., Dec. 21. K. V.

Springs, Dosque county, arrived
here today ami was lodged in jail
by Constabie Loving. Hunt stands
charged with killing his young wife
in this city last week. In a few
days she would have become a
mother. The evidence against the
nrisoner is overwlu Iminir. The
prisoner is 'JS years of age and very
illiterate. He has a most forbidden
countenance. When questioned to
day he almost broke down. It is
generally believed he will make a
clean breast of the nlfair. Hehasa

PEOPLE AND AFFAIRS.
I'OI'UUST TO EXIIIIUT THEMSELVES
Wichita, Kan., Dec. 1'.). Accord
ing to an authentic source, there is
a movement on foot among the
leading people, party men of the
state which it is hoped will cul
miuate in the erection of a special
building and the establishment of
headquarters for the populist of
tjie nation in the world's fair
grounds in Chicago. Speaking of
the matter today, one of the projec
tors said the proposition had been
launched at it meeting of populist
leaders in Topeka some two weeks
ago, and had met with such favor
that a committee of three bad been
invited to see what could be done
in this direction. This committee,
it seems, has since carried on an ex
tensive correspondence on the sub
ject, and has everywhere met with
encouragement from enthusiastic
"relormers" all over the country, so
much so that an architect has been
invited to draw up plans of a
club house. It was not intended by
the projectors to make the strange
political move public until after the
inauguration of the populist gov
ernment, but as soon as that event
is over it seems they intend beard
ing the directors of the world's fair
with fheir novel proposition, and
will ask 'or a site for their build
i'. WANTS HIM UEMoVED.
Iloldcn's Liberty of Lincoln in
speaking of World's Fair commis
sioners ha the following to say
concerning k R. Greer, whom Gov
ernor Doyd removed, and Jos. Gar
neau, who succeeded him: "Mr.
Greer began this work and was do
ing splendidly. He was active, en
ergetic and took pride in his work,
and Governor Doyd removed him
to make way for a non-entity, whose
action has been disastrous, to put it
mildly. Mr. Greer had secured
about two car loads of Nebraska
products to exhibit before lie left the
commission, and the work for which
the exposition was gotten up prac
tically stopped with him, while the
useless expenditure of money has
continued."

A Merchant Disappeared.
The following concerning some
Nebraska merchant who suddenly
disappeared in St. Joe is taken from
the St. Joseph Gazette:
"An old merchant from Nebraska
disappeared in a rather mysterious
manner from the Union depot Mon
day night, and although consider
able search was made for him yes
terday and last night, no trace of
hint could be found, and he seems
to have disappeared as mysterious
ly as if the earth hail opened and
swallowed him up. Considerable
excitement was created about the
Union depot last night.
On last Monday night the stran
ger, who is described as a man of
about eighty years of age, with
gray hair and beard, and dressed in
a dark suit and slouch hat appear
ed at the depot and shortly after
ward went across to some of the
restaurants opposite the depot. He
carried a brown leather valise. He
was slightly under the inlluence of
liquor. He went into one of the
Stewart Hros.' restaurants and ne
gotiated to stay all night, but was
not satisfied ami went away. He
then went into Nym Kyger's place
and dropping valise on the floor
remained a while.and then went out,
leaving the valise. That is the last
that has been seen of him. Officer
Tom Huyler was notified and made
and extended search last night, but
could neither hear nor find any
thing of the stranger. An examina
tion of his elfects disclosed four or
five freshly laundried shirts, some
underclothing, a new pair of pants,
some handkerchiefs and socks.
There was nothing on any of the
goods in the valise except the trade
mark of Appel A- Co. of Denver. He
was seen near the depot after be
left Kyger,s place. It s feared that
he has met with foul play. He told
several parties he was a merchant
from Nebraska and had consider
able money with him.
