Stock in the proposed candidacy of
Senator Gorman for the presidency had
quite a boom among the politicians in
Washington by reason of the fact that
the Farmers' Alliance of Maryland in
dorsed him with great unanimity for re
election to the senate This, his friends
claim, indicates that he would be ac
ceptable to the alliance as the demo
cratic presidential nominee.
(I A. Fargo, one of the new senators
of the Cherokee nation and a man of
much influence, says he is in favor of
selling the Cherokee strip at once. As
soon as the Cherokee council convenes
in November he will introduce a bill to
sell the strip and immediately divide
the proceeds among the people of the
nation. A large number of the other
members of the council have already
promised to support this measure.
The reports as to the relations be
tween Chill and Bolivia growing out of
the latter's recognition of the belliger
ents, one of which reports was that
Chill had declared war against Bolivia,
are said to be untrue and the stories of
cruel punishments inflicted by the gov
ernment are pure inventions. The gov
ernment simply arrests those who are
supposed to be aiding and abetting the
rebels and sends them to Iquique, the
headquarters of the congressional
party.
The progress of the European sugar
beet crop is slow. The continued wet
and cold weather has seriously set back
the development of the roots, especially
in the low lying distriots, although the
leaves aro luxuriant. Even with ex
ceptionally fine weather in September
it is doubtful whether the increased
acreage will yield an increased pro
duction. The present tests are on a
level with those of 1888, when the final
yield was twenty per cent, below the
yield of 1800.
The Chilian congressional envoys in
Washington have received advices from
Chili which they say confirm the state
ments that President Kalmaceda had
removed all the judges in the country
and appointed other persons to their
places. The judges removed include
the chief justice of the supreme court
and his six associate justices, the judges
of the courts of appeal and all ttic dis
trict judges. The envoys say this ac
tion of Balmaceda is in direct defiance
of article 105 of the constitution of Chili.
Arrivals from the region of Sonora,
CaL, on the Colorado river, report a
most wonderful change in the topog
raphy of the country. Many old land
marks are obliterated, prominent nat
ural objects are wiped off the face of
the earth and new ones created in un
expected places. Tho small stream
four miles north of Lcrdo, which prior
to the earthquake was l cadily forded,
has become impassable. The Cocopah
Indians predict another earthquake,
liable to occur soon. They say natural
signs indicate it.
The grave situation created by the
failure of the crops in Russia is causing
the greatest apprehension in all circles.
The Grashdanin declares that the local
administrations will be unable to make
provision for tho inhabitants of the dis
tressed provinces by drawing upon the
surplus of other provinces if the specu
lators are allowed to export corn or if
the artificial rise in corn is not checked
The public demands that the govern
ment immediately place a duty on rye.
The Financial Messenger declares that
it will be almost impossible for Russia
to export corn this year.
Mr. Sr-URGEON's faculty for remem
bering names and faces is well known,
but sometimes he makes a slip, and the
following little anecdote shows his
felicitous way of setting himself right
on such occasions. Meeting recently a
young student whom he had not seen
for a year, he said: "Right glad to see
you, Mr. Partridge." The student was
of course immensely gratified to find
that the great divine remembered him,
but reminded the pastor that his name
was not Partridge, but Patridge. "Oh,
yes," quoth Mr. Spurgcon, "I must not
make game of you any more."
"It is going to bo a long time before
the American product is admitted to
Germany on an equal basis with their
home meats," said P. D. Armour, of
Chicago, who has just returned from
abroad. "There is really something
more involved than a matter of comity
between the two nations. A national
taste in the matter of meat eating is in
volved. The Germans will eat their
meats raw. For that reason I think
that no meats will get into Germany
except under German inspection. As
for the favorable French legislation,
that appears to have been hung up by
the French senate."
Lord Coleridge, chief justice of
England, replying to a correspondent
asking an opinion on the Bible passage
"Swear not at all," and Christ's words
"Let your words be yea or nay," says
he has no doubt of the lawfulness of
oaths on special occasions. God also
swears by Himself. The precept of the
Lord is like that giving a cloak as well
as a coat or offering both cheeks to be
smitten. It is to be taken as a state
ment of principle, not as an order to be
obeyed literally, irrespective of circum
stances. The whole jurisprudence of
Christian nations of nineteen hundred
years has been based on oaths.
Consular reports received at Wash
ington on the 11th state that heavy
rains have caused great havoc in the
German empire and hold out no promise
for average crops. In Austria-Hungary
the cereal crops will this year be under

ever known. The crops of Spain will
be at least 15 per cent under the average-

Under a new law the superintendent
of public instruction is allowed an as
sistant and Superintendent Goudy
wishes to appointhis wife to the position
but meets with much opposition. Mr.
Goudy recently said to a reporter: "If
tho governor can appoint his son to the
best position in the executive office; the
auditor can give his brother a desirable
position under him, and the state treas
urer do the same for his daughter, I do
not see any reason why tho superin
tendent of public instruction cannot
appoint a relative as his assistant It
is strange that one state official should
be discriminated against in such a mat
ter." The assessment returns from the sev
eral counties show great variations in
average values. The average on im
proved property in Dawson is $1.34 per
acre, in Box Butto SI. 37 and in Red
Willow $1.40. Douglas has the highest
average, $16.48, followed by Dakota,
$9.67, and Sarpy, $8.20. On unimproved
land Kimball is the lowest with an av
crago of 96 cents per acre. Custer, Lin
coln and Hooker are tied for second
place at $1, and Cherry and Dundy fol
low with Sl.lt Oddly enough Douglas

Sarpy is next highest with S6.55, fol

Some miscreant recently attempted
to wreck a passenger train between
Teeumsch and Graf, by placing ties and
stones on the track. The train was
running at a high rate of speed, when
the engineer saw a farmer standing
in the middle of the track in a deep cut
waving his handkerchief and motion
ing with both hands for the train to
stop. The engineer reversed and ap
plied the air brakes, but it was impos
sible to stop the train in so short a
space and the engine crashed into the
obstruction at a rate of about twenty
miles an hour. Fortunately the ties
that had been placed on the track were
so rotten that they broke easily and to
gether with the rock piled on top of
them were thrown to one side by the
cow-catcher without derailing the en
gine. The passengers were given a
severe shaking up, but no one was in
jured. Guy C Barton, president of the
Omaha and Grant smelter, was recently
arrested charged with violating the
eight-hour law. He will probably re

DEATH OF MRS. POLK.
Agwi wuuw rrmMi
relB rasses Away.
Nasbvills, Tens., Aug. li Sar
rousded by a few loviag fi lends aad
relatives, Mrs. Jamas K. Polk, relict of
the tenth president of the United States,
died at 7:30 o'clock yesterday mora
lag, peacefully and quietly, in the
full possession of her natural faculties.
Mrs. Polk was in perfect health until
last Wednesday evening, when on re
turning from a short drive she waa
taken suddenly ilL She never rallied.
Had she lived until September 4,
next, she would have been eighteen
years beyond the allotted time of three
score and ten. The cause of her death
was simply exhaustion resulting from
old age.
Mrs. Polk was, before her marri age,
Miss Sarah Childress. She was born
near Murfreesboro, Rutherford county,
Tenn., September 4, 1803, and was the
daughter of Joel and Elizabeth Child
ress. Her father, a farmer in easy cir
cumstances, sent her to the Moravian
institute at Salem, N. C., where she
was educated. On returning home she
married Mr. Polk, who was then a
member of the legislature of Tennessee.
The following year he was elected to
congress, and during his fourteen ses
sions in Washington Mrs. Polk's courte
ous manners, sound judgment and
many attainments gave her a high place
in society.
On her return to Washington as tho
wife of the president Mrs. Polk devoted
herself entirely to her duties. She held
weekly receptions and abolLshed the
custom of giving refreshments to the
guests. She also forbade dancing, as
out of keeping with the character of
these entertainments. In spite of her
reforms Mrs. Polk was extremely popu
lar. "Madam," said a prominent South
Carolinian, at one of her receptions,
"there Ls a woe pronounced againstyou

POWDER MILL GONE.
Terrific Exploalon, Cauln the Death of
ttevera! Workmen.
Huntinoton, W. Va., Aug. 15. Yes
terday morning about 8:30 o'clock, the
powder factory in the Ohio river at
Kellogg, W. Va., four miles Ih1ov
Huntington, blew up from some un
known causo. The explosion wih in
the glazing mill building which was
about twenty-five feet square and two
stories higli. There were about two
tons of powder in it The main mill
building and in which great quantities
of powder are stored was not affected.
The noise of the explosion was heard
twenty-five miles away and its force
was so great as to literally annihilate
the building. Pieces of timber were
thrown across the river in Ohio. A
piece of iron weighing over a ton was
picked up and tossed through the nir
300 yards and buried deep in thu
ground.
Workmen were iust going to work in
the large mill but had not yet entered
it In the glazing mill at the time of
the explosion were two workmen, John
Baylcss and Timothy Cooncy.
Only unrecognizable fragments of
their bodies can be found, and two
buckets full of shreds of human flesh
have been gathered.
George Wells, who was in a house
300 yards away, had his nkull broken
by a fragment of iron which whirled
through the window of the house. He
is in a dying condition. I). M. Parks,
Charles Knowly and John Shauster,
workmen in the big mill, who were
standing 400 yards away, were torribly
injured by flying missiles that black
ened the air. A few others are slightly
hurt
What caused the explosion no one is
living that can tell. Moro than 1,000
people have been drawn by curiosity
to tho scene. Archie Livingston, the
superintendent was standing right by
the mill when it was blown to atoms
and ho escaped unscathed. The family
of John W. Bayless, one of tho victim
is inconsolable. One of his daughters
is at the point of death from grief.
DOLLAR WHEAT.
Chicago Italia Kun Wheat Up to High
Water Mark.
' Chicago. Aug. 15. There was an
other wild day in the wheat pit on the
board of trade, prices going up and
down over a very wide range without
any apparently sufficient cause. Tho
bulls and bears were all on the grid
iron, but the advocates of higher prices
had the best of the situation and Im
proved their opportunities to the extent
of ultimately carrying prices to a point
4?)f cents above the closing figures the
day before, and the close was 4 li cents
higher. The bulls' long-delayed pre
diction of dollar wheat was finally ver
ified and they hailed the big round fig
ure with a mighty shout This oc
curred close to the end of the session
and was the culmination of a rapid ad
vance of 2J cent. No effort was
made to put it higher and it was doubt
less put to that figure for its moral ef
fect Corn was strong but unsettled,
though not showing as much strength
as wheat Shorts were nervous over
the advance in the wheat pit but it was
difficult to buy owing to the scarcity of
offerings.

Brief Sketch at Mia KrtlUMt Career.
BorroN. Mass., Aug. IX James Rus
sell Lowell died at 2: 19 o'clock yesterday
moralBg. His death waa caused by aa
affection of the liver together with
other ailments incidental to his ad
vanced age.
Mr. Lowell passed away at his home,
Elmwood. in Cambridge, wherr he was
born. Almost to the lat he was a
hard, although erratic, worker. He
had aot been seen as often in society
lately as formerly, but up to five years
ago he seemed in robust health.

the youngeat of five children. From both
parenta were tranamtttad high Intelligence,
aound principle and right Ideal, but the
poetle and Imaginative faculty came from
the leather. Ilia birthplace was tho old
tory mansion now called -Klmwood." a
largo three atory square, wooden home In
the early colonial style, altuated In apaclnua
grounda, surrounded by magnificent etnif
and plnea planted by bla father, with an
outlook on the Charlr river. Lowell waa
fitted for college by William Well who tai
the senior of the Arm that published th
aeries of Wells A Lilly classic. He entered
Harvard in hlo sixteenth year and was

In tho law school of Harvard Iwolt received
the degree of LL II and was admitted to the
bar In Itjlu, Tito only record of the practice
of his profeaalon I found In a story entitled
"My First Client." published In the Huston
Miscellany. Henceforth he gave himself en
tirely to literature. In 111 a volume ol
poem, written under thn Influence of afire
tlon for a woman of genius who became hi
wife, wjs published under the title of 'A
Ycar'a Life."
The volume waa ncTcr republished, and ol
the aeventy poema only a small part hav
been deeuird worthy of reprinting by the
author. HI marriage to the woman who
Inspired these poema took place In 1H4.
Maria White wa an ardent abolitionist, and
no doubt her Influnnce assisted In turning
his thoJghta to the serious side of that
cause to which he rendered Immortal
service.
To understand Lowell'a character It li
necessary to remember that he was not only
a poet, a scholar and a humorist, but alwayi
a conservative and a critic No man wai
more thoroughly Imtnod than he with the
fundamental principles of American democ
racya democracy without dcmagogltm; no
man more Jealous than hoof theuntarnlshed
reputation of Atnerloa In politics and lltera
ture: no man more quick to see any depart
tire from the high Ideal of the republic, and
ills flaming pen was turned to attack what
ever assailed this Ideal at one time slav
ery, at another tltno vicious political
methods threatening the purity of demo
cratlc society Ills radicalism was always
conservative, hie criticism always construe
live. Lowell and his wlfo were regular con
tributors to the Liberty Hell, and hla name
appeared In 1S4I in the Anti-Slavery "land
ard as corresponding editor. In this paper
from ISO to V his poems during that period
mostly appeared. Later the Boston Courier
was the vchlclo of hi productions, and In
Ita columns the drat series of the "Illglow
Papers" waa given to the public, beginning
In the Issue for June. ISsA and ending In 14.
In 1943 he undertook the editing of the
Pioneer, a literary and critical magaclne.
Only three numbers were published, the
venture falling through financial disaster to
the publsherm. In this magazine was begun
a series of essays on the poets and dramat
ists, which afterward formed the material
for "Conversations With Some of the Old
Poets." In 14 came a volume of vcre
contalnlng-A Legsnd of Ilrlttany." with thirty-three
miscellaneous poems and thirty
seven sonnet. These were followed
In IMS by "The Vision or Sir Laun
fal," one J the most exquisite
productions of hla genius, a poem fonnded
on the legend of the Holy Grail, which Is
said to have been composed In a sort of
frenzy in about forty-eight hours, during
which the poet scarcely ate or slept.
In 177 Mr. Lowell was appointed by Presi
dent Hayes to the Spanish mission, from
which be was transferred to the conrt of St.
James.
In 1W1 Lowell was deputed as minister to
England and. until recalled by President
Cleveland, he was our representative at ft.
James.
Lowell's f mt wife died In P&L He married
a second time In 1S? Mis Donlsp, of Port
