Ono would scarcely think, to look at the
youthful appearing Junior senator from In
diana, Mr. Heverldgc, that ho has had n
varied cxporleiico as a frontiersman. Hut
euch Is tho fact. And, further, a cowboy
saved his life In 1885 under circumstances
thrilling enough to furnlwh a situation for a
dlmo novel, writes the Washington corre
fcpondont of tho Topoka Capital.
Thu following Incident, In which Senator
IJovcrldgo wan ono of tho most prominent
actors, occurred fifteen years ago out in
I.ano county, Kansas, This was In tho days
beforo tho great Santa Fo railroad had come
ns a civilizing factor nnd when to carry a
gun was part of tho settlers' religion.
Mr. IJovcrldgo was 23 years old and Just
nut of college. Ho was full of (Ircek nnd
Iatln and oiphomorlc as young college
rraduates aro apt to bo. Ho had carried
four extra studies In tho tlmo of his regular
graduation and was as thin as a rail and
paler than two "tenderfoot" rolled Into one.
So ho went W(st to rough It, recover his
flesh nnd strength nmi Incidentally to see If
ho could not gain a fortune, for tho west
held many promises then, nn It does now.
Tho young adventurer "hung out" at
Dlghton, Lano county, Knn., and became tho
original real estate boomer In that section.
Dlghton nt that tlmo boasted of a few sod
buildings and that was all. Thero was the
Inovltnblo saloon, for this was nn Institution
that flourished on tho rango a If such a
thing as tho state prohibitory law had never
been beard of.
Dlghton was located on th( upland be
tween tho north and south fork of tho
Walnut, tho little creek that finally finds
Its way to tho Arkansas river. The HtUn
town was built on tho pralrlo trail midway
between tho two government military reser
vations at Fort Wallace nnd Dodge City. It
wan a day's Journey either way and the
placo seemed to offer many Inducements as n
sort ot half-way supply station.
I.njit Out '1'lMVII I.OtM.
Scenting a poselblo future metropolis,
young Hoveridgo began to lay out town lots.
It was Mr. Ilevcrldgo who, with a partner,
laid out tho whole town of Dlghton, which
is today flourishing with schools and
churches, nnd wheoc people nro refined and
progressive. Then It was different. Cow
boys from off tho rango made It a rendezvous
nnd tough characters wcto plentiful.
Dodgo City, fifty miles nwny, was a model
of vice for all aspiring settlements on this
western range. Senator Ileverldge, In talk
ing to a Topoka Capital correspondent re
cently of his Kansas experience In 1885, said
that In all his travels slnco then ho had seen
nothing to equal Dodgo City for vice and out
lawrynot oven excepting tho slums of Lon
don. And thero nro plenty of old-tlmo Kan
Fans familiar with tho history of Dodgo
City In thoso days, who will bear tho senn
tor out In this statement.
Dlghton reflected tho wickedness of Dodge
ny, unving mo samo brand of cussedness,
though on a smaller scale. Tho town hotel
was mado of pralrlo sod. tho cuestn nnd
regular boarders being seated at ono long
iuuic. air. novcrlclgc'B olllco was at "War
ren," n short dlstanco from tho hotel.
And hero It Is proper to Introduco tho
dramatis personao of this Btory, which fol
lows:
Stovo Crosscup, stogo drlvor.
A. J. Hcvorldge, real estato boomer nnd
lenuerroot.
Joo Orr, gambler and tough from Plko
county, Missouri.
Jim Wells, well driller nnd victim.
Cowboys nnd cattlemen from off tho rancR,
Crosscup was tho friend of Ilevcrldgo, nnd
for very good reasons. Tho burly plains
man had been nursed through a long nnd
dangerous Illness by tho futuro United
States senator nnd was rendy to lay down
his llfo for him If need bo. Dlghton wns
crosscup s headquarters in maklnc his recti
lar trlpn from Dodge to Fort Wallace and
h!a ncqunlntnnco with Hoveridgo began in
mis way.
Ono day thero wns great excitement In
Dlghton, A horso had been stolon, nnd of
nil tho crimes In the plalnsmnn's list horso
stenllng was tho most unforgivable.
Wells, tho well driller, had been found
with a halter In his hand, nnd It bad been
Identified ns belonging to tho missing horso.
It wns truo that Wclla was very drunk,
and that his accuser was Joo Orr. a cam-
blor, and Wells' bitter enemy, tnit It mado
littlo difference. Circumstantial evidence of
tho weakest sort was enough to convict in
thoso days, and tho avcrago cowboy was glad
cnougU to participate In a lynching boo with
out going too strictly Into tho merits of tho
case under consideration. So tho fellow
Wolls was being hurried to his doom by tho
now ling mob.
noverldgo, tho real estate man, happened
along, and tho spectacle was too great on
Ills ideas of Justlco to bo borne calmly. Ills
lawyer Instinct to mnko tho most of a good
case nHsertod Itself, too, until personal
danger wns outlrely forgotten, and ho faced
tho angry mob and began pleading for tho
tsan'B llfo.
l'lrnilN for Tenderfoot.
Tho very audacity ot tho palo young ten
flcrfoot commnnded attention, nnd In tho
lull gained Hoveridgo pourod out bis Im
passioned pleadings for tho man whom ho
bolloved to bo innocent. What right had
they to take a man's llfo on such ovldcnco
and without a fair trial? True, tho holtor
was found In his possession, but ho was too
drunk to know what he was doing, and so
was his accuser, Joo Orr. Uesldos, Wells
had always borno a good reputation.
It was Hoverldge's first case, and ho mado
a good ona Ho had a mob for Jury and
judges, and risked his own llfo In making
hla fiery ploadlngs dramatic enough, truly,
to command attention. And bo won. The
mob fell back; sober Bense returned, and
tho youth was master of tho situation
Wolls was hurried away and lator secured
n trial and acquittal.
Hut Joo Orr had a scoro of his own to
octtlo. At dinner that day ho mado his
bonst openly that Wells would swing and
that ho would eee about It. So pointed did
Ms remarks become that Hoveridgo made
tho mlstako of arguing with him.
Orr sprang to his feet with a horrlblo
oath and brought his clenchod fist down
on tho tablo with a forco that mado tho
dlBhea clatter. Ho abused Hevoridgo
roundly nnd left tho tablo swearing that ho
would kill him.
Thoso who heard Orr kencw that his threat
was not an Idle ono, and Mr. Hoveridgo had
less doubt that any of tho others, It came
rather sooner than ho had expected. Tho
dinner camo to an end nnd ho walked
slowly back to Warren's. Orr was waiting
beforo the door of bis office. Tho black pas
sion depicted on his facn would have
warned Mr. Ilevcrldgo that ho meant to
"kill htm, oven If ho had not seen the
gambler reach for his gun.
In tho foco of what he believed to bo cer
tain death, and feeling, as ho afterward
cxprcsBed It, aa If It were all up with him,
Mr, noverldgo felt a curious sensation of
fury come over him against this man who
would taka his llfo and have an lnnocont
person hanged.
How ho camo to do this bo nevor could
tell, but ho denounced tho scoundrel, Orr,
with words of furious Indignation, and was
wonderln all U tlm war to did ntt
raise Uio gun ho held nml ehoot him dea.l. 1
Orr stood with his shitting, uneasy gazo
on tho nngry young man, and bis gun by
his side. Finally Dcvcrldgc flnlsho.1 hln
torguo lashing and turned slightly to 1mm ',
hold Stevo Crosscup standing behind hltn J
with hl revolver leveled at Orr. !
"Aro you through, Mr. Heverldgc?" asked
Crosecup, calmly.
Then ho marched Orr at the point of his
gun down tho road, which disappeared a
slender thread across tho prairie, and
warned him what would happen If he should
coino back again.
Crosscup had squared his debt to Hover

Mlllloiinlrt- nml i .louriinllxl.
Tho rlso of a plodding newspaper man to
tho ranks of inllllonalro Journalists Is tints
told by Mcgargee In the Philadelphia Times:
Tho recent monetary difficulties of tho
great publishing houao of Harper & Urothers,
announcement of which surprised both the
literary anil the financial world, has again
placed In tho focuii of tho public eyo n young
man who bears tho somewhat burdensomo
natno of Colonel Ceorgc It. McClcllan Har
vey, through IiIh being made president
of tho corporation which Is now endeavor
ing to float tho Harper vessel from tho
shoal of disaster. This task hu confidently
hopes to accomplish, and his record cer
tainly Indicates that there Is no ouch word
as fall In his lexicon. He Is now also tho
editor and proprietor of tho North Ameri
can ltcvlew, In which, rumor says, he in
vested $1,000,000, his total wealth being es
timated nt thrlco that sum. Yet, no further
back, than fifteen years ago Colonel Har
vey was n young newspaper reporter, earn
ing about $15 n week, and, If tho narrator
is not mistaken, ho was at that time en
gaged In collecting ncwa from the north
ern part of New Jersey for Joseph Pulitzer's
New York World. Lest this statement of
tho largo fortune, acquired from such an
humblo beginning, mny Inspire budding Jour
nalists with tho idea that a newspaper of
flco Is a goto that opens upon tho royal
road to fortune, It may bo well to explain
that while Colonel Hnrvey achieved con
siderable famo nnd substantial remunera
tion In his newspaper employment, yet the
accumulation of tho large amount of money
which ho hnn amassed la owing to tho fact
that he Is a man of his word nnd never
broko n promise. Ono exhibition of this
trait mado him n friend, nnd that friend
brought him riches. In Ilia case It can bo
truly said, apart from any question of moral
Impulse, that Sancho Panza's conscienceless
dictum that "honesty Is tho best policy," Is
sound advice. Tho story of Harvey's rise to
wealth may interest you.
Colonel Harvey Is a man well over six feet
In height, slcndor, but blg-boncd, nnd still
in the thirties. Ills hair Is dark brown, hl.t
complexion sun-tanned, his bluo Byes shaded
by glasses and bis foaturcs nro small, al
though ho wears a 74, hat. In speech ho
Is low-toned, with one of thoso mellow
voices which carry sympathy and convic
tion. Ho dresses in good taste nnd la gen
erous to his friends. This, however, was
not his plcturo In tho '80s, when, as n beard
less youth ho bogan life's struggles on tho
local stnft of a Chicago newspaper. Soon
after this ho camo cast nnd secured a posi
tion on tho Jersey City staff of the New
York World, nnd It wns not long beforo he
displayed such aptltudo for tho work, com
bined with raro political sagacity, that ho
was glvcii full charge of the collection of
news In tho entlro stnto of Now Jersey for
Mr. Pulitzer's Journal. This brought him
In closo contact with tho leading politicians
of tho Sandy state, among others the lato
Governor Leon Abbott, whoso admiration
and friendship ho quickly won to such nn
extent that the last democratic legislature
of tho stato was Induced by Mr. Abbctt to
crento for Harvey's benefit a special office,
that of insurance commissioner with a
yearly salary of $ 1,500 attached. At tho snmo
tlmo he was also nppolntcd a colonel on tho
governor's otaff, and In that way gained the
military title which ho still enjoys, through
that peculiar American custom that makea
a man onco n colonel always a colonel.
Whtlo still holding tho office of state in
surnnco commissioner ho was Induced by
Joseph Pulitzer to 'becomo tho managing
editor of tho New York World nt a yearly
salary of $10,000. Ho was by many years
tho youngeot man occupying n position of
that character in tho metropolis, but the
presidential campaign of 1892 displayed bis
political acumen and his rare Judgment In
tho collection and presentation of news to
such nn extent that he achieved a brilliant
success.
Tho fact that the World espoused tho
causo of tho democracy In tho memorable
Cleveland-Harrison campaign brought Its
mnnaglng editor Into closo contact and fre
quent cenferencea with William C. Whitney
and Arthur P. Gorman, the nctivo managers
of tho democratic battle, which, as you all
know, was a successful ono. After Mr.
Clovcland had been sworn Jnto offlco tho sec
ond tlmo Joseph Pulitzer or rather Mrs.
Pulitzer, which was tho samo thing ex
pressed a deslro to havo a certain young
man appointed to a distinguished position
In tho diplomatic corps at Vienna. At that
tlmo tho proprietor of tho World was In
possession of tbo Information thnt J. J. Van
Alcn, a Now York inllllonalro and one of
tho owellrot of tho Newport society set,
had contributed $100,000 to tho Cleveland
campaign fund with tho tacit understand
Ing although no formal agreement was en
tered into that In tho event of democratic
success ho was to bo mado minister to Italy
With this Individual Mr. Pulitzer was on
terms ot nbsoluto enmity by roason ot tho
fact that ho had thwarted Mrs. Pulitzer's
ambition to gain ontrnnco to 'tho most ex
elusive woclal circles of Newport. Tho mil
Uonnlro newspaper publisher saw on oppor
tunity of defeating Van Alen's ambitious
purposo by publishing tho story of the con
tribution, but ho was also extremely nnxlous
to havo tho diplomatic appointment made
at tho ' Austrian court, to Which referenco
has been provlously made. While matters
were in this shape, It Is claimed that Mr.
Pulitzer gave a premise to Colonel Har
voy, to Honry L. Nelson, now editor of Har
per's Weekly, but then on tho editorial
staff of tho World, and to William C. Whit
ney, that If President Cleveland would send
Mrs. Pulitzer's young friend to Vienna ho
would forego tho publication of tho Van
Alen story. In compllanco with the agree
ment which tho president unquestionably
thought had been mndo, tho appointment
to tho Austrian court was announced. Sub
sequently the namo of J. J. Van Alen was
sent to tho United States sennto as minister
to Italy, and Immediately tho World pub
lished tho facts regarding tho $100,000 con
tribution, nnd persistently, vigorously nnd
acrimoniously claimed that tho preltlon as
representative -at tho Homan court had been
purchased by the Newport swell. The howl
that went up over this allegation resulted
finally In tho withdrawal of Vnn Alen's
namo.
Stung to tho quick by this breach of faith,
Colonel Harvey resigned his position as
managing editor of the World, although nt
that tlmo ho had not $500 in the world, his
sumptuous mode of living having exhausted
all of his salary. This manly conduct
aroused tho admiration and won tho sincere
friendship of William C. Whitney, who at
that tlmo was extending his energies into
tho financial and Industrial world In a man
ner which has elnco mado him ono ot the
moot potent factors In tho money centers
of this country. To show his appreciation
of Harvey's conduct ho mado him his con
fidential man, and placed him In such a
position of trust and gave him such advance
blnatlons that tho one-time newspaper man
was enabled to make early and judicious
Investments In projected deals, notably those
concerning tho establishment of trolley lines
la New Jersey, whereby ho soon became a
TITE OMAHA T)
very wealthy man. Sagacity and cautious
neffi made his money grow until he achlevd
ono of thn ambitions of his life by becoming
editor and proprietor of tho North American
ltcvlew, and now he again springs Into
promlnento nt the head ot tho reorganized
knowledge of contemplated corporation com

Thnt tho morphine hnblt Is Increasing
among tho people of this country, says tho
Uoston Herald, thero is no doubt. Phy
sicians, druggists and tho importers nnd
dealers themselves attest to this. In ono
city 60 per cent of all the morphine usel
Is purchased by persons who use It without
n physician's order.
Tho habit is usually acquired through
tho victim having first taken the drug to
allay pain or discomfort.
The fascination of tho change from pain,
dUtrore and lmsomnln to quietness, com
fort nnd sleep Is very Intense, nnd over
comes nil reason and Judgment. After a
short time of repeated uso of morphine tho
reason Is obscured. First tho higher ethical
brain succumbs, and nil senoo of right and
wrong slowly disappears.
Tho falluro ot veracity Is tho first symp
tom. This goes on to extreme lengths. As
sociated with It Is egotlom, which grows
with tho degeneration of tho victim. Often
this Is tho most prominent symptom.
Some of tho most dangerous among forgers
and confidence men are morphine takcra
Fortunately, the period of gredt mental
acuteness along theso lines is of short dura
tion. The unstnblo brain stato docs not per
mit any continuous lino of acts to bo per
formed with equal cunning nnd Judgment.
While tho secrotlvoncaa lnsto, together with
the low cunning nnd selfishness, It Is found
after n tlmo that the reasoning faculties be
como benumbed, so that they cannot origi
nate or adapt themselves to new conditions.
During ltd first five years tho morphlno
habit is often practically unnoticed. The
patient may bo a little odd in boiho re
spectsmore bright or dull nt ono tlmo

"Notwithstanding their hard lives and
their 'closeness,' " says AlnBleo's Magazine,
"tho larger number of tramp skippers treat
their crows with great humanity. They aro
generally much affected 'by the loss of any
of tho ship's company, and they have been
known to risk tho ship Itself to snvo tho
lives of their shipmates. Perhaps one of
tho most stupendous efforts nt life-Having
over reported nt sea was that performed by
Captain William Inness of tho freighter
British Princo. His boatswain, a hnrdy
Swedo named Lastadlus, whllo getting a
bucket of fresh water for n, timid cook, was
picked up by a heavy sea and carried over
board. As hp swept along tho starboard
sldo of tho ship Captain Innees saw hlra and
shouted:
" 'Keep up a stout hcartl Wo will savo
you If wo can.'
"It waB gottlng very dark, and tho boat
swain was threo ship lengths astern beforo
anything could bo done nboard tho vessel.
Ho gave himself up for lost, but kept on
swimming. It was Imprsslhlo to launch a
boat, ns the seas were colossal. Tho cap
tain hail Just finished his supper when ho
saw tho boatswain sweep nstorn. Ho ran
toward tho bridge, shouting as ho did so to
the engineer:
" 'Stand by to strp thoso engines,
"Then ho flew to tho bridgo and laid his
right hand on tho telegraph.
" 'Stop ond reverse,' were flashed to tho
englno room, nnd the captain's volco rang
out: 'All hands to starboard with lines and
buoys.'
"Tho'captaln told about fho event thus
'Our only hopo In Faving him lay In picking
him up with the ship, for no bont could llvo
In tho sea that was running. When I backed
the ship down to him I saw him struggling
for his llfo. He had tho buoy that the sec

arms and his body was well out of tho water

kept shouting, and wo nnswered back. Wo
were going ahead a bit when bo was whirled
to starboard.
" 'As tho night had woll set In wo soon
lost him, but I turned on tho bridgo nnd got
the bearing of his volco by a star. I kept
that star In sight, nnd put the helm hard
astarboard, and boro down In tho direction
ot tho star. Wo had lost his voice altogether,
but as wo steamed toward the star wo heard
it faintly. Wo caught sight of hl'.n too lato
to pick him up ns we steamed past, so wo
camo up with tho wind again with tho bo's'n
on our port hand. We steamed slowly, so that
the men ranged along tho port rail, each with
a lifeline or ft buoy, had a chanco at blm,
I know by tho cheer that went up that ho

hauled aboard. Ho clung to the rail ro
tightly, not knowing that ho was saved, that
tho men had to pound his hands to break
his grip.'"

Tho receipts of, cattle have been light nt
this nolnt till this Week nnd fnlrlv Tinnvw
at moBt other market points. Tho quality
ii inu imuu (joining lorwnru m steadily
Improving, but still right good cnttle nre
far from plenty. -The market on beef
steers broke tho early part of the week,
but during tho latter part of tho week
has showed Improvement, so that at tho
closo of tho week It, Is safe to say thnt
values lire iimi&i! nigner tnnn a week ngo.
Somo cattlo were received during tho week
good enough to bring $5 or better, but
shippers murt bifnr In mind thnt It takes
pretty good cattle at the present tlmo to
bring $4.75 or $4.80.. Whllo prlecB havo not
shown so. vory much improvement .this
week thero bus been n decided ohnuge for
tho better. In that tho demand seems to be
larger nnd tho cnttlo soil nioro readily nt
current prices than was the caoe during
tho greater part of tho previous week.
Cown und heifers have shown Just nbnut
tho enmo Improvement ns fat cattlo nnd
can safely bo quoted 10ffl5c higher. The
demand has nlso been good nnd offerings
as a rulo havo changed hands very readily.
On the other hand, tho market on bulls
has been dull all the week nnd prices arc
lower on both stock nnd fat bulls.
Tho feeder market showed some little
improvement for tho week, owinsr to tho
better country demand, nnd prlcen on
warmed-up cnttlo hove been advanced
somewhat, ns compared with a week ago.
Offerings for the week have been light
nnd supplies havo been kept well cleaned up,
irons For the Inst dav of tho week thero
was a good, liberal run of hogs. Tho de
mand was active, ns usual, in spite of the
fact mat 11 was n eaiuruay, anu wio oner
lnER wero all dlsnosed of In room season.
Tho nrlces nald wuro Just a little stroncer
than the day before, the popular price being
J4.72V4, whllo a rew loaos or gooa neavy
sold at $4.85,
The hog markot has been very even all
this week and few changes have taken placo
In tho matter of values nnd none of nny
consequence. The week stnrted out with a
Cc advance, but tho most of the gain was
lost on Tucsany, since wnicn timo the mar
ket has not shown n chnngo of mora than 1
cent In tho averngo price. Tho demand was
gooa an tno week anu uuyers ssemeti 10
want all thnt were coming, no that each
day's arrivals sold as n rule In goml season.
It hs a fuct, however, that light hogs which
havo been coming pretty freely of late, aro
being discriminated against and do not sell
qulto so readily as they did n xhort tlmo
ago. On some days this week sellers have
complained that It was not ensy work to
unload their stuff, especially if It happened
to bo on tho commonlsh order.
8HBDP There were no fresh receipts to
day nnd nothing but holdovers, which were
not offered on the market. Tho sheop mar
ket has been nil right this week and prices
high. Tho market jumped a little, but eased
off again, so that thero has not been much
gain as compared with last week, but tho
nrlces paid havo been very satisfactory.
Uuyers seem to want tho utuff even nt tho
prevailing high prices and almost every day
this week tho receipts were all disposed of
early In the morning.

May corn opened HUUo over yesterdny

Tho oats market was quiet and whllo tho

Tho subject treats of a group of peasants In tho bnrvcst-fleld. Tbo pa

not a breath of air la stirring, you can almost bear tho bees ns they buzz fronf
flower to llower, nnd away off in th o dlstanco is seen a balloon floating rlii
lcstically In the clear, blue sky, Kvld ently tho villagers aro holding th,e!l
country fair, and a balloon ascension is ono ot the features. Tho group con.
sistlng of tho peasant nnd his family nro in the picturesque costumo of the
country. They hnve all stopped work and stand with their rakes In their
bands gazing intently at the distant bullion. Wonder, awe nnd ndmlrifUlo
nre blended in their expressive faces, nnd rovenled In their attitudes, 'fha
subject has been treated with thoso soft, mellow tints which Its artist Icnowt

childhood life. It Is Justly populnr, both on account of Its urtlstlc iiuallty and
deep human Interest with which It has been clothed.
