INDIANS CHARGE FRAUD.
Senator Allen Hold* n Connell Witk the
Omaha* and Winnebago*.
Pender, Neb., Junes.—United States
Senator Allen held s council with the
Omaha Indians at the Omaha agency.
1 he senator desired to personally In*
form himself in regard to the contro*
versy on both the Omaha and Winne
bago reservations, which is menacing
the peace of this county. The great
subject of contention among the Oma
has is in regard to the disposition of
their tribal lands, of which they hare
about 50,000 acres The different par
ties interested have told Senator Allen
many different stories in regard to the
matter, each claiming the advice of
fered on the situation was for the best
interests of the red men.
The senator, in opening the council,
said he came to learn from their own
lips what they desired him to do in re
gard to the vast tract of Omaha tribal
lands now being used expressly for
pasturage purposes, and that their in
terests were to be considered alone in
the matter. Sinda-ha-ha, Big Elk,
Oahaningu, Nebraska Simeon. IIalto
well and other prominent Omaha Indi
ans spoke, and told the senator that
their people were unanimous in a de
sire for an immediate allotment in order
that they might handle their tribal
lands themselves, the same as other
American citizens handle their prop
erty.
Another of the Indian orators said
he thought Contractor Farley had had
the pasture so long that he would be
tired of it by this time, but it seemed
that he still wanted to hang on and
control it. The subject of the five
year lease on a 23,000 acre tract of
these lands to Farley was then brought
up fer discussion. Two of the Omaha
councilmen, whose names are affixed to
the consent according to the require
ments of law, said to Senator Allen in
the presence of Farley that they never
signed the paper at all, and all of the
councilmen present whose names are
attached to the five year lease said it
was interpreted to them as a one year
lease, and John Springer, one of the
most reliable Oinahas, boldly asserted
to the senator that the present lease
for five years was fixed up without the
presence or consent or signature of any
of the Omaha Indian councilmen.
The senator promised faithfully to
visit them again some time this
summer, as he could not give the time
today to hear what they had to say,
having made an appointment with the
Winnebagos to be at their agency at 4
o’clock, for which point he started at
the conclusion of the interview.
AMERICA IS REMISS.
Oar Consol-Oeaeral at Shanghai, China.
Makes a Report.
Washington, June 8.—Consul-Gen
eral Jernigan at Shanghai, China, has
sent to the state department his obser
vations upon the commerce between
Japan and China and Korea, which he
says will present new phases as a re
sult of the termination of hostilities.
He says the competition among Japan
ese merchants for Korean trade is
vicious and has demoralized trade. Mr.
Jernigan calls attention to the fact that
there is not in China or Japan a banking
Institution conducted by American capt
many have banks In China and Japan,
tal. Great Britain, France and Ger
he says, and the merchants of these
countries are supported by the banking
Institutions of their own countries and
they have been dividing the profits of
Asiatic commerce. American mer
chant In Asia are compelled to transact
their business through foreign banks.
Not many years ago the American In
terest was of first consideration at
Shanghai and American commerce
whitened Asiatic seas. Now other na
tions are pushing ahead, although geo
graphically the United States should
dominate and supply with the overpro
ductions of their fertile fields the mar
kets of Asia.
OLNEY'S SUCCESSOR.
Politicians at Washington at Sea In the
Matter.
Washington. June 8.—Secretary Hoke
Smith Is not seriously considered by
politicians here as a possible succes
sor to Attorney-General Olney. In
many quarters It is thought that Post
master-General Wilson will be trans
ferred and a western man chosen for
postmaster-general. On this theory
Ben Cable of Illinois has been suggested
as a possibility. Eastern men assume
the President has abandoned the Idea
of making any more transfers, and will
pick a New York lawyer to succeed
Olney. Don Dickinson has declined the
position of government director of the
Union Pacific railroad, and Coombs, the
Brooklyn congressman, has been put in
his place. This may mean that Dick -
inson is to have the attorney-general
ship after all.
' Mysterious Indiana Murder.
Terre Haute, Ind., June 8.—The dead
body of Chauneey Ptckerell of New
Goshen was found yesterday lying In a
pool of blood a mile and a half west of
this city. A revolver was found under
the man's left side. Papers and other
property of the dead man were scat
tered over a radius of twenty feet. A
pocketbook containing $8 was in his
pocket, besides a number of valuable
receipts. Pickerell was married a week
ago last Tuesday to Miss Lizzie Baird
at Vermillion, and on Saturday and
Sunday visited Mrs. Baird in this city.
Sunday night he drove from the city In
company with his wife. When he left
his home at New Goshen to return to
Terre Haute Is not known. Police have
Information that the dead man was
seen wit.i a stranger on the day of hU
death, but this furnishes no clew. Pick
erell, a few days after his marriage, had
his life Insured for $2,000 payable to his
wife.
Loan Guaranteed by Russia.
London, June 8.—It Is learned that the
Chinese 4 per cent loan of £16,000.000,
which has just been concluded by Paris
bankers, was guaranteed by Russia in
consequence of China's concessions to
Russia, enabling her to extend the Si
berian railway into Manchuria.
British Steamer Ashore.
Queenstown, June 8.—The British
steamer Davaur Is ashore on Briggs'
reef, this coast. Four hundred of her
passengers have been landed by the
coast guard. The steamer lies In an
easy position and will probably be
floated this evening.
A STOCK TABDS BLAZE.
AMMONIA . PLANT MAKES A
HARD FIRE AT CHICAGO.
Only Excellent Work of Firemen Pre
rent* the Flnmee from Spreading to
the Bis Pecking Establishments—
Small Fire nt Sardis, Miss.
Chicago, June 7.—Shortly after 4
o'clock this morning lire wai discov
ered In the plant of the Eureka Am
monia company, which le located on the
main thoroughfare at the stock yards,
near Loomis street. The building, which
was a three-story and basement brlok
structure about 140 by ISO feet between
Swift & Co.’s Ice plant and their ware
house No. 12, was soon enveloped In
flames. A second alarm was sent Into
the fire department and was followed by
a 4-11 and special call. Within a few
minutes after the Are was discovered
twenty-five engines were playing upon
It. The Are department succeeded In
conAning the Are to the building In
which It starter, but a large amount of
water ran Into the basement of the
Swift & Co. warehouse No. 12, causing
considerable damage. The losses on
building, which was almost destroyed,
though the walls remain standing. Is
estimated at $25,000. The loss on the
ammonia plant Is estimated at $18,000,
the total value of the machinery and
stock being a little less than $30,000. No
one seemed to know exactly how the
Are started, though It was thought It
originated In the lower part of the
building. The chemist connected with
the company thought that the Are could
not have been caused by any chemicals
In the house. During their struggle
with the Aames the Armen were hin
dered considerably by the ammonia In
the building, several small explosions
resulting.
FOR A SHIP CANAL,
Illinois Senate Advance* a Measure with
That Object In View.
Springfield, 111., June 7.—Bogardus'
bill to appropriate $25,000 for the pur
pose of collecting data looking toward
the building of a ship canal from Lake
Michigan to the gulf came up this
morning on Johnson's amendment to
appropriate $15,000 for the purpose. Aft
er the senate refused to adopt the
amendment Green moved that the en
acting clause be stricken out. This oc
casioned some debate, and finally Green
said that he had Just heard that the
house committee had reported the bill
unfavorably, and In order to make Its
death as easy as possible he would
withdraw his motion. The bill was
then advanced to a third reading with
out opposition. The senate disposed of
all special orders and the pending ques
tion was Asplnwall's pool selling bill.
It was laid on the table without oppo
sition. Llttler’s motion to reconsider
the vote by which his revenue bill failed
to pass was continued until Tuesday.
The motion to reconsider the vote by
which the house oleomargarine bill was
advanced to third reading was held to
be void, as it was not brought up within
two days. The bill was allowed to take
Its place on the calendar on the order
of third reading.
Kingsbury’s bill providing for the ap
pointment of food and scale Inspectors
In towns was defeated.

IOWA’S MULCT LAW,
Judge ISrnnnan of Scott County De
rides lo Its Favor.
Davenport, Iowa. June 7.—The Iowa
mulct law, taxing and regulating the
running of saloons, was sustained by
Judge Brannan In an important decis
ion rendered In the case of J. J. Feeney
vs. Scott County and J. B. Frahm,
treasurer. The plaintiff contested the
collection of {COO annual tax on two
grounds, first, that the tax Is a penalty
or fine only to be imposed after trial
and proof of guilt, and, second, that the
local municipality In not enforcing the
police regulations of the law had waived
the right to collect the tax. The court
decided for the defendant on both
points, and the case will be appealed.
The case was brought by the Liberal
league of Iowa to test the law.

in the case of George M. Van Leuven,
convicted in Iowa for violation of the
pension laws and sentenced Dec. 15 to
two years’ Imprisonment and to pay a
fine of {1,000. In denying the applica
tion for a pardon, the President says:
‘‘This convict was leniently treated by
the courts, and I do not ^Innk the rep
resentations as to his health are suffi
cient to justify his pardon."

MURDERED BY ROBBERS.
Postmaster Graham of Bower, Nab.,
Fatally Shot hr Matkad Man.
IIkatkuk, June a—A bold attempt
at murder and robbery occurred at the
little town of Bower, twenty mile:
west of this city. The scone of the
affair was in the store of Postmaster
Luntz Graham. During1 the earlier
part of the evening friends and neigh*
bors to the number of five or six were
in the store, and about 10 o'clock all
went away except a Mr. Mart, who re
mained in the doorway talking to
Postmaster Graham, when two men
stepped from the side of the house,
and, covering them with pistols, com
inanded them to throw up their hands.
The robbers were masked, and one is
described as a short, heavy set man,
and the other ns a tall, slender fellow.
Graham and Hart were taken com
pletely by surprise, and Graham, not
obeying the command on the instant,
received a shot in his breast. As he
turned to run another bullet struck him
in the back of the head, fracturing his
skull Ilart, in the meanwhile, ran
back through the store, jumped out of
a rear window and gave the alarm.
uei[> hub uurncuiy at nanu, dui me
murderers had fled. Postmaster lira
hum was found lying on the floor in
the doorway with a bad wound in his
breast and head. He was partially
conscious and physicians were prompt
ly summoned. One bullet had passed
through his breast into his lung and
the other had fractured his skull. His
wounds are regarded as very serious
A posse at once started in pursuit of
the murderers, but they escaped in the
darkness
They secured nothing from the store
or postoffice, being frightened away
before accomplishing the robbery. The
community is terribly excited and
should the robbers be caught they will
surely bo lynched.
tVord was at once wired to all sur
rounding towns describing the robbers.
In the search for the robbers it was
found that they had a buggy hitched
just at the outskirts of the town and
had escaped in it A big posse is in
pursuit and the trail seems to lead
northward.
At this writing Graham is still alive,
but cannot live many hours.
Graham has been conscious most of
the day. His statement of the affair is
that he and Hart, a neighbor, were sit
ting in the store when the two men
with the upper part of their faces very
closely covered entered.and presenting
revolvers ordered them to throw up
their hands. Graham raised a chair
over his head to strike, when both fired.
Hart made a run for the back room,
and breaking out a window escaped
and gave the alarm. A shot, evidently
fired at Hart, was found in the wali,
by the door, where he was trying to
escape. Another shot was fired, pass
ing through the transom over the door,
and the bullet was found in a box on a
shelf. Four shots were heard by par
ties living near.
The buggy tracks were followed for
some distance north, but the trail was
finally lost. There is a strong suspi
cion that the crime was committed by
parties living near, but no arrests have
been made.
Graham has kept store at Bower for
about ten years, and has accumulated
considerable property. He is a broth
er-in-law of Hon. G. J. Carpenter, and
has a wife, living at present in Penn
sylvania.

SUtaol* Democrats Make Knows Choir
View* on Slllren
Springfield, 111., Juno 7.—Illlnolo Dem
ocrat a fulfilled the utmost hopes of
free silver advocutos in yesterday's
state convention. The convention de
clared for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at a ratio of It to 1 and
the action of the state committee in
calling the state convention was In
dorsed.
Secretary Htnrlchsen called the con
vention to order at noon, and the tem
porary organisation, as given Tuesday,
was named.
Judge Crawford, the temporary
chairman, made a short and vigorous
talk and then a recess of an hour was
taken.
After the Intermission Judge McCon
nell was announced as the permanent
chairman of the convention. He was
seated with enthusiasm. His speech
showed careful preparation and was lis
tened to with attention.
General John A. McClernand. of
Springfield, was Introduced and made
a few remarks, and then came the res
olutions. They were read by ex-Con
gressman Flthlan, and were cheered.
They closed with an enthusiastic In
dorsement of Governor Altgeld, and
this raised a discussion. Finally this
were withdrawn and the platform was
adopted. The delegates to the na
tional monetary convention were then
announced, and the convention at B:30
p. m. adjourned sine die.
»uurcH ui oecreiary mn
rlch«an In opening the convention Con
grenman William J. Bryan of Omaha
addressed the delegates. After show*
lng how, In his opinion, the coinage of
silver would be of benefit to the coun
try, he concluded: “If, as all admit,
the money question Is now the question
of supreme Importance, It must follow
that the people will trust that party
with Its settlement, which first fear*
lessly espouses the truth. The Demo*
cratlc party must take Its position upon
this question, and by the correctness of
that position will rise or fall. No cow
ard, whether an Individual or party,
can long retain the confidence of the
•people. Not only Is It necessary for the
Democratic party to take a position,
but the sooner it defines the position the
greater will be Its opportunities to win
success in 1896."
Then Congressman Andy Hunter
spoke, and Governor Altgeld was on
motion Invited to address the conven
tion. His remarks were listened to with
close attention. He was enthusiastic
ally received and when he closed the

duced as representing the old soldiers.

Springfield, 111., June 7.—The follow
ing resolutions were passed by the dem
ocrats of Illinois at their meeting Wed
nesday:
“Whereas,The demonetization of silver
has deprived the people of free use and
benefits of a valuable and original

"Whereas, The constitution of the
United States prohibits any Etate from
using anything but gold and stiver coin
as a legal tender for the payment of
debts, thereby recognizing that coin
composed of silver or of gold is honest

(From the Greenvllte. N. C., Reflector.)
The following Interview has Just been
given our reporter by Mr. G. A. Baker,
the overseer at the farm of Col. Isaac A.
Sugg of Greenville, N. C. It will Inter*
eat any one who has ever had typhoid
fever. Mr. Baker said In part:
“I was living In Beaufort county, and
on the 2d day of October, 18)3, I was
stricken down with typhoid fever. I
had the best physicians to attend me
and on the 15th day of January, 1894, I
was allowed to get up. I was emaciated,
weak and had no appetite. I could only
drag along for a short distance and «
would be compelled to sit down and
rest. This continued for some time and
1 began to give up hope of ever getting
well. 1 lost my position In Beaufort
county and having secured one In Pitt
county, clerking In a store, I undertook
It, but was so weak I could not do the
work and had to give It up. The disease
nettled In my knees, legs and feet. I
was taking first one kind of medicine
and then another, but nothing did me
any good. I was mighty low-spirited.
I moved otit to Col. Sugg's about four
or five months ago and commenced tak
ing r>r. Williams' Pills. I took three a
day for about three months. I began to
regain my appetite In a week's time, -v
and then my weakness began to disap
pear, and hope sprung up with a bless
edness that Is beyond all telling. At the
expiration of three months I was entire
ly cured and could take my a* and go In
the woods and do as good a day's work
as any man. I was troubled with dys
pepsia and that has disappeared. It Is
also a splendid tonla for weak people. '
I say, Mr. Editor, God bless Dr. Will- w
lams may he live for a long time, I
know he will go up yonder to reap his
reward. Tell everybody that asks you
about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People that If they will co ne to me I
can certainly satisfy them as to their
merits. I always carry a box of pills
with me and when ever I feel bad I take
one."

New Process of Extracting Gold,
Technical World: A new process of
extracting gold from auriferous ores
lms been devised by Mr. C. Lorsen. He
electrolyzes a solution of bromide of
potassium, and thereby obtains an
alkaline solution which contains hypo
bromide and bromate, which Is capable
of dissolving gold. The ore is treated
with an excess of this solution by rotat
ing cylinders The solution Is then
filtered, the gold precipitated by pas
sage over a mixture of iron and coal,
and the solutton. which now contains
bromide of potassium mainly, is once
more electrolyzed and again used for
extraction.

More Cash Than Knowledge.
Just previous to the big boom in oil, i|t
says the Pittsburg Dispatch, a gentle

tiie world, and said: “Friend John, '
the price of oil is going to go up, so I
would advise you to buy t^n thousand
barrels.” "]!uy ten thousand barrels
of oil?” was tiie astonished reply of the
man addressed, wno looked up as if he "*0
tnought his friend was crazy, "why I n
don’t use u barrel in n year.”
