m scsx vxm oat i. imoH, fniimh HARBISON, NEBRASKA. Tae rriatraa Laa Lovdox, April 21. The annual gath ering of the conservative organization known aa the Primrose league, was held in the Convent Garden theatre, Lord Salisbury, deli verd an address, iu which he said he hoped that it the' house of lords should reject the Irish home rule bill for the separation of Ireland from Great ikitian, the gov j eminent would, as it threatened, not dissolve parliament, but again intro duce the bill. lie would be only too' glad, be added, if the government would continue their futile attempts at impossible legislation until the un- ionists would be able to impress the truths of the question upon the electors. Lord Salisbury said the financial pro posals of the bill would almost bank rupt Ireland and would heavily burden Great Britain. But, he continued, thq atrocious feature of the scheme was that the Irish members would sell their freedom for the advantage of Irelan 1 by forcing the government to give them what they wanted. The bill now bo fore the house of commons would nut get rid of the Irish question, since England would be compelled to comply with Irish demands. The house of lords exclaimed Lord Salisbury, must not be turned away from its duty by any discussions concerning its consti tution, but must rescue the empire from iU assailant. The chief subject of interest iu the house of commons was the avowed de fection from the liberal party, so far as Irish home rule is concerned, of Mr. William Saunders, member of parliament for Newington, Wal worth, Mr. Saunders announced that hisoppositson to the bill was based, on the requirement of a property qualification for the second chamber of the Irish parliament. The debote on the Irish home rule bill was by speakers of only second rate importance. IHbm PmMU tha Ducheaa of Suther land coins to Jail. London, April 21. The story given out that the dowager duchess of Sutherland, who was sentened to six weeks' imprisonment in Holloway jail for contempt of court, was driven to the prison and locked up, was univer-' sally priuted and believed. It trans pired, however, that- the report was erroneous. After the imposition of the sentence the dowager duchess ob tained from Justice Jeune and order permitting her to go to her villa near' Windsor, with the understanding that she would surrender herself to the authorities. It is now announced that the dowager duchess was taken sud denly ill at 4 o'clock in the morning A physician was in constand attend ance upon her until 7 o'clock, when her, condition was such that he summoned another doctor to consult on the case. Later the doctors sent a certificate to the authorities to the effect that the duchess was too ill to sui render to un dergo the sentence of imprisonment imposed by Justice Jeune. A section of the press is trying to es tablish the argument that in sentenc ing the dowager duchess J ustnee Jeune exceeded his authority, and these papers point out in support of their contention that a peeress is exempt from arrest in a civil case.

' A Millionaire Dead. Akson, C) April 21.-Lyman L. Lamb a week ago went to Chicago, ostensibly to dose a real estate deal, taking with Mm a letter of introduction to Lawyer Newman. .. It appears that Lamb pre sented a draft for 835,009 on the New York correspondent of the City Na tional bank of Akron, and that New man indorsed with him. On this $28 000 waa drawn, which Lamb is re ported to hare left in possession of Lawyer Newman at Chicago. This evening, the City National .ank re- eeived notice from its New York cor respondent that the draft was received and pronounced a forgery. Informa tion baa been received In Akron to the effect that Lamb took the money with him when he disappeared, and did not leave it with Newman. ANOTHER STOY. Chicago, April 21 Lyman L.

At Brighton the Big Four freight depot, an immense wooden building, 60C feet iong and fifty feet wide, was razed by the wind and the debris scattered for agreat distance. Detroit, April 22. One of the heaviest gales ever known on the lakes raged Thursday. The wind at tained a great velocity aud considerable minor damage was done. As naviga tion has not fairly opened, few veeseli were out Milwaukee, April 22. The worst blizzard of the season, and byfarths most severe ever known at this time of the year, was raging throughout Wis consin and northern Michigan Thurs day. At Kenosha, Wis, the wind bier at the rate of seventy-live mites an hour. Sixty feet of the steel roof o. the Northwestern Wire Mattres com pany was blown away, docks were un dermined and carried out into the har bor and boats of all descriptions swept ashore. Meridian, Miss., April 22. Clarke and Jasper couoties of this state suf fered from a cyclone Thursday night at 7 o'clock more deadly to human life and destroying far more property tban the one of three weeks ago. It fol lowed almost in the tracks f its pre decessor. Over forty people wer-j killed and nearly '.MO more or less in jured. These figures may lie increased when all of the stricken districts an beard from. The destruction to prop erty will amount to hundreds of thous ands of dollars. Entire neighborhoods have been literally swept off the face of the earth. The cycl nie's path wa-i through a vast piue fores', broken here and there by a farm. Huge trees were uprooted and carried for a distance oi a mile. JNear tne town or racnuut lived the family of William l'arton, consisting of himself, wife and three children. Their bodies, except that of the youngest child, were picked up over a mile away, mangled and en tirely nude. Their brains had been dashed out. The child had a miracu lous escape. It was found a half a mile from its home early this morning uninjured, but piteously crying for its mother. Wiliiam JFisher lived near the station with his mother, wife and five children. They were blown away and searching parties have been out all day, but none of their bodies have been recovered. A child of Sim McGowan was found dead in a treetopa mile from its home. Four negroes from the Eldridge plantation were killed out right, and a family of negroes number ing nine perished. One of the children wis found two miles from where it was playing when picked up by the deadly wind. Did Consult Slevrru. Washington, April 22. A private tetter from a United States otliciul in Hawaii came in the mail last night. In reference to the report that Com missioner Blount directed the lowering of the United States flag without con sulting with Minis er Stevens, Admiral Skerrett or any of the representatives of the United States in Honolulu, the writer states that Blount did have a consultation with Stevens on the sub lect, and while he does not say so in so many words, the inference to be drawn from the letter is that Steves coincided with the commissioner in the action. Another report and one that found much currency in Honolulu, that the Japanese in Hawaii were contemplat ing resistance by force to American domination on the islands, and that they had received arms to assist them in their determination, is contradicted by the writer, who states that the Japm- ese, and, in fact, all the people of 'he islands, are peaceably inclined and do hot anticipate trouble, and that in point of fact the only agitators there at present are the- newspaper corres pondents. Edwin Booth 111. , New York, April 22. Edwin Booth's condition was reported to be such as to call for no immediate alarm. Dr. Sinclair Smith made a call at the Player's early in the evening and at 11:15 gave out a statement concerning bis patient which he said was made at the request of Mr. Booth's family and some of his friends. It was as follows: 1 "April 20, 1892 -Mr. Booth's attack Thursday morning by partial aphasia and some paralysis of his right arm and right side of the face in all pro babillty is due to a slight hemorrhage of the brain. At no time has he been un conscious or in any immediate danger. He passed the night sleeping most of the time and has had a restful day. It ft impossible at the present time to predict what tlie on i come may be." , Aa Dr. Smith left the club house he said Mr. Booth was not in n critical condition and he was going to leave him in charge of the nurse for the night It was also announced at the Players' club that the ladies' reception day, which had been flixed to tak place at tne club April 24. had been in- definitely postponed on account of tne tragedian's Illness. Mi. Haaeork Deul, New Yobk, April 28. After ft lin gering Illness, Mrs. Almira Hancock, Widow oi Major General WinntM 8. JIftneoek, died Thursday at the resi dence of the general's niece Mrs. Eugene Griffin, Grammercy Park. Mrs. BftMock strength slowly waited away under Ute subtle in fiuence of the soo ijssoion of sorrows that subdued in naturally cheerful disposition and jwttMrew her from society during tbd awer yean or nor life. 1 -aaa I a. k mi uir ... my - ff I M II f 3 Jlmr LADY MAJENDIE t'HAlTKK I-rotiiiucd. The morning had begun to dawn, and the cold, blue light shone in on the de serted rooms; all the servants were gone to bed save the watchers in the death room, when Lady Grisel stole down once more to gaze on the lace of the dead. The women drew tack when she entered and left ber alone; the dreary light filled the room, and outside the wind had sunk to a whispering moan. Angus was at tbe door when shocanio nut and she put ber hand into his that he might lead her away, her heart yearn- Ins for sympathy. As thev went to gother.one of the women touched Angus's arm, and held out something to him. It was his brother's signet ring. A strange fueling made him shiver from head to toot as he placed it on his linger. If AITKIt III. Assunta bad placed herself and her child unhesitatingly in the hands of worthy Master Malcolm, and with the true charity of his kindly nature, he took in the friendless woman, housed and fed her. and administered to her broken spirit Till the funeral of the young laird should be over, he would not question or disturb her; and indeed she seemed to be in no wise capable or an swering questions, but sat with vacant ores, bending over her child, and rocking herself to and fro; but when that solemn day had passed by, the Minister judged t best to hear Assunta s story before In quires were made from Dunmonalgh. Assunta do Caroll was the only child of an unfortunato political refugee. While she was still a littlo child, Leone tie Caroll had been forced to flee from bis native country with her and her young mother: the latter fell an easy victim to the colder climate of the north of Scot land, whither motives of economy and tho necessity for secrecy had induced them to come, and Assunta was left to the solo guardianship of her father. In the midst of this poor and half-fed life, Assuntu grow up and developed into a lovely girl. Her education had not been icglectod, for her father was a well-read man, but it had Deen careless and des ultory. She was fond of wandering in the woods which covered the hills at tho back ot tne town of Strathluan; sho loved the scent of the tirtrocs and tho crimson heather; aud bcre one day she met with Ewau Macmonach, his gun on bis shoulder, surrounded by dogs; and again and again would Ewan return, and tho dogs grew to Know her so well, that they would leap and fawn on her as she came up the path; and when the yellow haired Ewan and dark-eyce1 Assunta walked slowly through tho heather, the timid deer rejoiced, for they were safe. Sometimes De Caroli would join them, but oftener they wore alone and enter tained each other well. One day Ewan told Lady Grisel that he had set hit heart on making Assunta his wife; her displeasure was indescrib able. She was a stern Presbyterian; her horror of the "idolatry ot Rome" was ono oi the strongest reelings oi her re ligion. Ewan was not learned, was less clever than other men, simple in his tastes, throwing away money foolishly, acting on impulse, loving the free open air, and the exercise of his herclean limbs; be could neither plead nor argue; his mother's bitter words and opposition hurt him. Ewan loved peace, and in his bewildered grief he entreated Assunta to assent to a private marriage, only to be secret for a while, a short while, till he should have brought bis mother to listen to his suit. Assunta loved him too dearly to refuse, l.ovo of mystery was one of the courses of Do' Caroli' char acter; he knew that his health was fall ing; It was all-important to him that his daughter should be provided wltn a home and ho promised that if they would leave all arrangements to him, it should be accomplished with perfect secrecy, and without delay. A very few weeks after his daughter s marriage the exile died, and Assunta was not lert desoiute. A whole year elapsed, and still Ewan had not told his mother, and Assunta was so happy with the husband she loved, that she cared nothing for the life of por feet seclusion she led, and asked no more. In the pride of his youth and strength. Ewan was cut down, ana Assunta round herself left, at 19 years old, a widow and alone. It was with an anxious and sad heart that Master Malcolm begged Assunta to tell htm what sho could about her mar riage. "It is all-Important, my child," he, said; "more Important than perhaps you think it affects so many." 'Not so much as It would have done if baby had been a boy." said Assunta, leaning her bead wearily on her band. "Boy! he is nit a boy!" cried Master Malcolm, In the greatest astonishment. "No; she Is a little lassie," said As sunta, sadlv. "Alas! alas!" he cried, "all the lands of Dunmonalgh to go to a girl; oh! why was she not a boy'" "It Is best so," said Assunta, "for now It will only be to give her money, and Angus Macmonach will still be the laird."' Master Malcolm shook his bead sor rowfully. "Not so," he said; "all, every thing goes to the heir, bo he male or fe male." "1 did not know," fajterod Assunta. She gave Into the hands of tee Minis ter a desk io which Ewan bad been wont to keep a few treasures, which the bad sent for from Strathluao. CASTLE "Here, Padre Master Malcolm I mean in here you will find my proofs." The Minister turned the rusty little kev in its lock, and opened the flesn. The contents were motly enough. Two gorgeous salmon-flies, a roll oi wire, an nraveled and twisted snout everymum Iso. There was a packet marked in Iwan's school-bov hand. "Letters from Assunta." There was a child s inaia- bber ring; and quite in tbe back, a ron ribbon, the knot of which was care lly sealed. A bunch of labels were fastened to the sea1. The Minister took them and read them one by one. Attested copy of marriage certificate, taken trom half-burnt register, aiier the burning of St. Agnes'." The next "Baptismal eertificate of Margaret CJriselda." Both were dated, 'lho third simply "My will" What does this mean''' saiu me Minister. "In what church wore you married?'1 "In the Roman Catholic Chapel at Strathoclile, which was burnt down last year." And tho registers were oestroyeu. Is tho clergyman who married you to be found?" Alas, no!" answered Assunta, tho tears streaming from ber eyes; "he died about a month after the baptism of the child. Be was a dear friend to me." "Who wero the witnesses of the cero- niony. my dear child.' "My father." "Dead also," muttered tha Minister; "and who oise'?'' "The sacristan of St. Agnos' he has loft Strathochie now." Tho Minister looked vory grave. "What would you havo mo to do?" he said; "shall I open these papers and make an examination of them? I will act according to your wishes." "No," answered Assunta. "When Ewan put thdn there he said they were moant for his mother's bands. I would rather that no one but Lady Grisel should break the seal. Do you believe my story, Master Malcolm?" sho cried, suddenly. "Von do bellcye me? Will help me?"' "I do I believe it all. .The young laird was very dear tome," he said, pass ing his hand across his eyes; "I never knew ill in to deceive man, women, or child the only gift ho inherited from my Lady Griiol; but, alas! this has been a mad concealment. Do not fear, I be lieve you my child;" and lie laid his hand on the young widow's shoulder, and therewith -heaved a deep sigh. Was not Presbyterian naturo woeful at this Pap ist alliance? Assunta cared not for tho sigh; she impulsively kissed the hand of the Min ister, who withdrew It hastily. "We must give these papars to Lady Grisel," he shid. "You shall accom pany me to Dunir.onaigh to-morrow, that she may open them in our presence with all formality." "To-morrow !" so soon! cried Assunta, shrinking. "It should be done at once; meantime, for safoty, thoy had best be loft in my drawer; that is but a feeble guard for so precious a packet" he said, looking at poor Assunta's little leather desk. "It will be safer there," she auswered, looking at tbe strong wooden tablo; and she returned up-stalrs to her littlo child, her one comfort and help in this dark hour of her lite. The Minister sat by his table, with his head leaning on bis hand, wrapped In melancholy thought. Tbe drawer was open, and as his eyes fell on the packet. he sighed more heavily than ever, "It will be a terrible blow to Lady Grisel, he reflected. "It will almost crush her for 1 cannot doubt this story.". Ho sat thus when the door opened, and Kcrenhappuch announced "Mr. Angus, Minister," and Angus Macmonach walked in. Ills look was so disturbed, and his face so pale, that Master Mal colm did not notice bis omlssisn of cus tomary salutation. He sat down, and rushed with painful eagerness into the subject of bis visit. "Well, Mr. Malcom," ho said, "this story Is all a lie, Is It not? Is the girl still here? You shall be no loser by your charity- Wo will do what we can to help hor " "Hold"' said the Minister, gravely; "this is a graver matter than you wot of. I believe In her story." "Pshaw!" said Angus, impatiently. "What means have you of knowing?" "But I have papers by me." "Papers!" cried Angus, eagerly. "They are not proofs?" "They are here," said the Minister, and he proceeded to read tho labels aloud. "Give me that packet I have a right to open and examine it" . "Not so," said Minister Malcolm, re placing tbe packet in tha drawer and turning tbe kev. "But no one may touch them but Lady Grisel, your mother, and that in tbe pretece of Mis tress Macmonach and myself." Then Angus swore a violent oath; the Minister's face grew pale with dis pleasure. "Angus Macmonach," he said, "no evil words will undo what Is done." Angus flung himself into a chair. "Would the girl bear of a compro mise?" ho asked. "You must not suggest it whilo the matter is still uncertain; that were the worst course you could take" "Would to Heaven that it were uncer tain!" said Angus, and ere tbe words left his Hps, he repented ot them; again he paced up and down. The Minister be gan to wonder where this would end. when, unwittingly of who was within, Assunta entered the room. Seeing Agnes, she stood still, clasping her child, ber large eyes fixed upon him, and In ber whole manner and mien were a dignity and Innate nobleness for which be was not prepared; but it was life or death to him, and bo would not spare her; The Minister shrank back as though be were guilty; he could not bear to see the shaft wing lis way home In that euveriog neert "Msdtm," said Angus, and bis voice t ,i wu W.eaca word dropping wun , T mAt Grit! ftBu fflytw ffiSIof kWn bow much .one, "illadu-fo-to withdraw yoareWeM AT"XwlrV9.lowV'!

"So you will not let me see those pa pers?" were Angus' last words as n quitted the Minister's house. 'To-morrow you shall see them, anfi doubts will be set at rest." answered Master Malcolm; and Angus went home yet more anxious than he came. IHAPTfcR IV. In Dunmonalgh old-fashioned lawj were kept, and by half-past 10 every inmate of the house was io bed, and the doors barred and chained; but on tn night of the day after Ewan Macmon ach's funeral, some one was stirring a,.An fit mMn1?ht. -iwnen,auu p - - - . , The night was very Ene. The loch i.v iiia. ai.nntaf silver in the light ol the moon; thero was not a ripple on the surface not a cloud on the purple sky. Secretly and softlv as a thiet in tht night, Angus Macmonach opcoed tha littlo door, descended tho steps to the boat, and pushed off Into tho silent loch. Swiftly flew tho littlo boat; Angus' foot touched tbe opposite shore, and wrapping his plaid round his breast he mounted the hill. In the manso all likewise slept As sunta with ber child in her arms, worn out with weeping and sorrow. No one beard stealthly movements below. Th manse was never barred nor locked up at night "There are no robbors here." Master Malcolm would say; "and should robbers eomo, here Is nothing to rob;" so without let or hlnderanco Angus found himself alone in the Minister's room. It was bitterly cold, but he wiped the drops from his brow as he drew from his pocket a large bunch of kevs and knelt down by the table. Uo tried one key after another would nono fit yet tbe look was a common ono. Another and yet another; at last., with a loud crack which made Angus vibrate from head to foot, tho lock flow back and tho packet was boforo his oyes. Quickly and softly he unrolled its folds by the light of tho gleaming moon; he took out the precious papers; he thrust in blank sheets instead; rotled the green ribbon and labels. Angus must strlko a light; how loud tho match sounded! it thrilled him through aud through. All had been thought of t he red was was pressed down, and ho bent over and sealed it anew with his brother's ring. Tho baby moved restlessly in her slco.p and Assunta pressed her closer, half opening hor weary eves. "Hush, hush, darling! twoot littlo one, sleep! God watches over tho fatherless and widow." Swiftly tho little boat crossed tho lech again, and there was no movement or light In the windows of Dunmonalgh. C'UAPTEB V. Assunta rose on the following day wi'.b the heavy weight on her heart of ono about to go through a painful ordeal. She could scarcely touch the food Ker enhappuch placed before her; and as the time for their going to Dunmonalgh ap proached, she grew hourly paler and paler. Early in the morning Master Malcolm had sent over a message to Lady Grisel asking her at what hour it would suit her to receive them, and the answer came that at mid-day would bo best; so when tho sun was rising high In the Heavens they started together. Assunta had need of the good Min ister's arm, for never had road see mod so long or so rough. An unspoken feel ing made master Malcolm choose to goby tbe road rather than by the loch. It scorned to his simple mind that, humble as sho might be, Ewan Macmonach's wife should enter hor husband's home by its principal entrance with all dignity. Long as the way seemed at first As sunta thought it all too short when they siooo oeioro tne great doors. "Courage, my child summon un all your courage," said her kind friend; and ne rang tne bell, which resounded through the house. In one short moment they found them selves In the presence of Lady Grisel and her son. They were sitting at the end of a long library; the blinds were still drawn, and the dark furniture of the room, with Its tiers upon tiers of old books, gave It a gloomy aspect Ladv Grisel rose from her seat when she saw them, and saluted them gravely. Angus did not rise when they came In, but sat leaning back in his chair, studi ously endeavoring to appear a mere spectator of the seene. Lady Grisel desired both to be seated, and then leaning forward with one el bow on the table she began "Master Malcolm, in a matter of vital importance such as this Is, we will lose no time In ldio parley. understand that you consider that you hold proofs of my son's marriage with this ladv" Tbe Minister bowed. i.rrM. t sj ... ... inn iaay win not object" resumed Lady Grliel, "to answering what ques tions 1 may see Ot to make before we proceed to examine her papers?" "No," said Assunta. Duttinv Wii tho dark hair from her brow, and raising her face: "I will answer all that von me." "At what church did this cerem take place?" hi. ... . . ai ou Agnes- catholic chapel in mrauiucuie. "And who wore the witnesses?" "My father and the sacrintan "A"0 they only signed tho register?" "They only." "What day was this?" "The tenth of September, last year " Lady Grisel glanced at 4 littlo memorandum-book she held In her hand and slightly started; she continued "And after the marriage did you re. turn to Strathluan?" "No, we went north Into the hills to Glentyro." Again Lady Grisel glanced at her book, and saw recordod a letter from Ewan, dated from Glonlyrc, whither, be said, he had gone for tho purchase of dogs. TO BE COSTim-ED.
