A Dark Crine.
Besides being a medium of communi
cation of facts and sentiments, the
newspaper is also a suggestion
or conduct, and in this
consists its best function. There are
out of-the-way places of the earth where
crime lurks and where criminals he in
wait to ply their nefarious trade, and
away from these, as much as possible,
men should keep. The following from
the Bee of Wednesday hist, presents a
picture, instructive in more ways than
one:
The Missouri river seldom gives up
its dead or reveals its secrets, but it
gave up a secret last night that may
lead to the discovery of a dark crime, by
which a Council Bluffs man lost his life.
At 8 o'clock last night the mounted
patrolman on duty at the bridge discov
ered some clothes lying on the sandbar
on this side of the river beneath the
trestle on the east end of the motor
bridge. He watched them for some time
and noted the fact that there was no
one near. Tne domes looueu as mougu
they had been just taken off by some
one" preparatory to taking a plunge in
the river. Knowing tho dangerous
character of the current at that point,
and how easily a man might be drowned
there, he concluded to make an investi
gation, and dismounted and went down
to the point.
Only a dark hat and a gray coat could
le found, and they were not 1 ing to
gether, but were new and of line ma
terial. He brought the clothes up to
the bridge and mounted his horse and
proceeded on his beat.
At ! o'clock he met another patrol
man and reported the circumstance.
The facts were telephoned to the central
station, and the patrolmen were ordered
to make a closer investigation. They
returned to the locality, but by this
time it was toodaik to see distinctly
and a lantern was procured.
They made a startling discovery. At
the point where the clothes laid there
were a numler of t nicks on tho damp
sand, and mixed up in great confusion,
indicating that a struggle had taken
place. Ono set were the tracks of a
barefooted man and the other were those
of a man with a heavy pair of lioots or
shoes on. They led to the edge of the
river, where a desierato struggle had
evidently taken place. But the waters
gave no sign of the secret they conceal
ed. The lioot tracks led back into the
willows, but the barefoot tracks did not
return from the water's edge.
By the aid of the lantern a closer in
vestigation was made and a heavy gold
watch was found lying on the sand, ap
parently as if it had dropped from a vest
that was being loosely carried. It was
found beside the tracks that led into tho
willows. The watch, the partial raiment
of the man, the tracks and the struggle
that had apparently taken place all in
dicate the fact that a murder has been
committed for the purpose of robbery
and the body of the victim thrown into
the river.
There are no means of identifying the
clothes or the watch, and who the un
fortunate owner was could not bo de
termined. There was no mark on the
watch, but whether there were any pa
pers in the coat i)ockot that would re
veal the identity of the owner is as yet
only known to the officers. The fact
that he went into the water from this
side is the only evidence that he was a
Council Bluffs man.

Secretary Blaine's position with refer
ence to the business relations of the
United States with tho South American
countries has been so much misrepre
sented that it is well enough to givo his
views as evprccsed by himself, and James
G. has a habit of making his meaning
very clear. In a letter to Senator Frye
he calls attention the proscriptive duties
imposed by Spain upon American Hour
entering Cuba. These make the cost in
tho Cuban market at least $ll.-iG per
barrel, counting the shipping price at
New York at $4.80 per barrel. Other
articles of American growth are likewise
taxed by Spain to a per cent of prohibi
tion. This one-sided commerce, says
Secretary Blaine, will seriously injuro
shipping routes which are still in Amer
ican hands largely, if not exclusively.
It would certainly bo a very extraordi
nary policy on the part of our govern
ment just at this timo to open our
market without charge of duty to tho
enormous crops of sugar raised in the
two Spanish islands. Cuba and Port
Rico furnish tho United States with
nearly or quite one-half tho sugar we
consume, and we are far larger consum
ers than an other nation in the world.
To give a freo market to this immense
product of Spanish plantations at the
moment Spain is excluding the products
of American farms from her markets
would le a policy as unprecedented as it
would lie unwise. Our trade with Amer
ican republics, as well as with the West
India Islands, has lieen for many years
in a most unsatisfactory condition. The
aggregate balance of trade with all
Latin-America is heavily against us. A
single illustration will .suffice: Since we
reealed the duty on coffee in 1872 we
have imiorted products of Brazil to the
extent of $821,80G,000 and have sold to
her only 150,135,000 of our own pro
ducts. The difference $044,671,000
we have paid in gold or its equivalent
and Brazil has expended this vast sum
iu the markets of Europe. You can
readily see how different tho results
would have been if in return for the free
admission of Brazilian coffee in our mar
kets we would have exacted tho free
admission of certain products of the
United States in Brazil. To rejieat this
error with sugar to an amount three
times as large as with coffee, will close
all opportunity to establish reciprocity
of trade with Latin-America. The charge
against a protective policy which has
injured it the most is that its benefits go
wholly to the manufacturer and capital
ist ami not at all to the farmer. You and
I well know that this iti not true, but
still it is the most plausible and there
fore the most hurtful argument made by
the free trader. Here is an opportunity
where the farmer can be benefited pri
marily, undeniably, richly benefited.
Here is an opportunity for a republican
congress to ojten the markets of forty
millions of people to the products of
American farmers. Shall we seize the
opportunity, or shall we throw it away?
I do not doubt that in many respects the
tariff bill iending in the senate is a just
measure and that most of its provisions
are in accordance with a wise policy of
protection. But there is not a section
or a line in the whole bill that will open
a market for another bushel of wheat or
another barrel of pork. If sugar is placed
on the free list without enacting im
portant trade concessions in return we
shall close the door for profitable recip
rocity against ourselves. I think yon
will find some valuable hints on this
subject in the president's brief message
of June 111, with as much practical wis
dom as was ever stated in so short a
space. Our foreign market for bread
stuffs is growing narrower. Great Brit
ain is exerting every nerve to secure her
bread supplies from India, and the rapid
expansion of the wheat area in Russia
gives us a powerful competitor in the
markets of Europe. It becomes us,
therefore, to use every opportunity for
the extension of our markets on both of
the Amercan continents. With nearly
$100,000,000 worth of sugar seeking our
markets every j-ear, we shall prove our
selves unskilled legislators if we do not
secure large aid for the sale and con
sumption of our breadstuff's and provis
ions. The late conference of American
republics proved the existence of a com
mon desire for closer relations. Our
congress should take up the work where
the international conference left it. Our
aim of commercial development and pro
gress lies south of us.
A fatalitt occurred on the farm of
William Loney, four miles northwest of
Stanton, this state, on the 15th, which
resulted in tho death of his brother,
Wyatt Loney. The circumstances are
as follows: Charles, Wyatt and William
Loney, in company with John Stingley,
attempted to clean out a well from
which was used for stock only. Charles
descended first, but had only reached
the bottom when he was overpowered
by foul air and lost his hold of the rope.
Stingley went down immediately and
hooked into Charley's clothes, but the
hook tore out and Stingley was then
overpowered. Then Wyatt went down,
hooked onto Stingley and the latter was
hauled out, by William Loney, but in
the meantime Wyatt was overpowered,
thus leaving two dying men in the well.
Mr. Lonoy at once rang the bell, and,
with the other alarming noises made by
the family, succeeded in bringing aid
from the harvest fields in the vicinity.
Means were resorted to to remove tho
poisonous air from the well and an at
tempt made to rescue the unfortunate
ones, but not until the air was purified
could they be reached. They were
finally removed after being imprisoned
and unconscious for one hour and thirty
minutes. Charles Loney and John
Stickley were resuscitated, but the ef
forts of attending physicians failed to
bring the remaining victim to life.
A bold daylight robbery was commit
in Saratoga, N. Y., Thursday. About
noon sneak thieves entered the Bliss
cottage, and got away with $10,000 worth
of diamonds and jewelry. The cottage
is occupied by Mr. Morton, vice presi
dent of the United States, aud his law
partner, Mr. Bliss, with their wives.
The robbery was first discovered by Mrs.
Morton, and the police were promptly
notified. It is impossible to ascertain
whether the jewelry was the projiertyof
Mrs. Morton or Mrs. Bliss, as parties in
terested decline to make any statements.
Tho police refuse any information ex
cept to admit that the robliery was com
mitted and that the reward of $1,000 is
offered for the recovery of tho jewels.
No news of the robliery had leaked from
the police until this morning. It is said
that one man is under arrest as a sus
jiect. In discussing some of tho probabilities
at the republican state convention to
day, the Omaha World-Herald of Friday
says:
'No definite arrangements were made
with Tom Benton yesterday by the
Douglas county delegation. The Mercer
men demanded more than Tom could
certainly offer. Douglas county had
sixty-nine votes, they said, and it didn't
propose to throw them away for 'noth
ing but leaves." So Tom Benton went
home to consider, and Tom will do some
pretty hard "considering," too. It is
possiblo that he may be able to throw-
much of Ins strength to Mercer in ex
change for the state auditorship. For
one thing at least is certain, that if Dr.
Mercer cannot nominate himself for gov
ernor he can defeat any man for any
other utato office.
The State Convention.
A good deal of interest clusters around
the assembled republicans at Lincoln
today. What is done there today may
have a very considerable effect upon the
future of the party in this state. If tho
wisest counsels prevail, very good men
will be selected for the various offices,
with special reference to tlieir fitness in
every respect honesty, capability and
faithfulness to the public interest.
Tho agents of the people must do or try
to do the people's will, most especially
when that will is reasonable, lawful, and
its fulfilment necessary for the public
welfare.
A terrible story of youthful doprav
ity comes from Gorcville,a small town in
in tho western end of Johnson county,
111., remote from railway and telegraph
stations. Monday night a supposed
burglar broko into tho house of a farmer
named Morris Sullivan. On being
challenged by Mr. Sullivan ho shot and
inflicted a mortal wound in his breast.
Mrs. Sullivan then grappled with tho
murderer and she too was shot in the
breast, which will prove fatal. The
murderer was caught and was found to
be the 10 years old son of the Sullivaus.
He gave as his reason for the crime, that
he was tired of waiting for the old folks'
property.
An audacious attempt at fraud has
just transpired at Davenport, la. The
victim is Mrs. Patience V. Newcomb,
eighty-six years of age, and noted for her
princely generosity. Upon application
of Charles Yiele, her brother, a banker
of Evansville, Ind., she has been declar
ed of unsound mind, and S. F. Smith
appointed temporary guardian. He im
mediately filed papers in a suit against
Harriet V. Fitch of New York, a sister of
Mrs. Newcomb, and George W. Fitch her
grandson, and his wife. The defendants
came to Davoniort in May, have since
resided with the old lady, and it is
alleged that by undue influence have
induced her to turn over to them prop
erty valued at over $75,000.
A number of men under the influence
of liquor went into a saloon at Wymore
last Wednesday and called for the
drinks; one of their numlier threw some
beer in the face of Mr. Hamilton, who
was drinking at the bar. Hamilton threw
a glass back at him, but missed and
struck the door, when Tom Scott, a bar
tender in the saloon, threw a heavy beer
glass and struck Hamilton in the fore
head above the right eye, wounding him
badly. Scott was arrested and fined $25
and costs, under a city ordinance, and
put under $300 bonds to appear in court
tomorrow on a charge of assault with
intent to kill.
Docglas county has selected a clean
and intelligent delegation to the state
convention. Other counties will be
equally well represented. It is now al
most certain that the coming state con
vention will not only lie the largest
gathering of representative republicans
that has ever met in this state, but also
the first convention held in many years
that is in accord with the sentiment of
the rank and file of the party. It only
remains for the convention to nominate
men whose records are unassailable on a
platform that expresses in terse and
forcible terms the views of the party on
the vital issues of the hour. Bee.
Some sensational arrests were made at
Denver the 15th. William II. Avery, a
prominent citizen of Fort Collins, died
at his home June 2. Twelve days later
his widow was married to Frank W.
Millington at Hastings, Neb. Millington
had been a business partner of Avery,
was considerably younger than Mrs.
Avery and gossip had associated their
names in an unpleasant manner. The
coroner began an investigation and the
sheriff of Larimer county arrived with
warrants and arrested both Mr. and Mrs.
Millington and Miss Sarah Millington,
sister of F. WT. Millington on the charge
of murder.
The Schuyler Quill has this to say of
the independent candidate for senator
in this district: ''Mr. Nelson, the candi
date for senator from this aud Platte
county, is one of the representative men
of the county. He is an intelligent, well
read gentleman and a successful farmer
who would make a good representative
in the legislature. In politics we under
stand he has generally affiliated with the
democrats, although of late years he has
been a pronounced prohibition worker,
but whether as a third party man or not
we do not know."
The East Omaha Land Company has
let tho contract for ten miles of street
grading. 700,000 yards of dirt are to lie
moved. It is clay from Florence to be
taken by rail, four miles, to what ia
known as "Tho Island," now as much a
part of the main body of laud as any
other. East Omaha is at present in
Iowa, though on tho Nebraska side, but
steps have been taken to have the state
line defined by the present channel of
the river. The now place contains 1,200
acres.
A thurible explosion occurred at
King's powder mills, twenty miles east
of Cincinnati, O., ou the Little Miami
railroad July 15th. Ten persons are
known to have been killed aud thirty or
more others seriously injured. Two
empty freight cars wore being rolled
onto a side track, where a car containing
500 kegs of gunpowder was standing.
As the cars struck there was an explos
ion and immediately afterward another
car containing 800 kegs of gunpowder
exploded, making 1,300 kegs altogether.
Gen. J. C. McBride of Lincoln was
set upon by Samuel Bobst, a big, burly
fellow, last Thursday night, who drew a
revolver and threatened to make a seive
or a fish net out of the state fish com
missioner, but he uuln t, as AlacK
wouldn't have it that way. Bobst was
bound over to the district court in the
sum of $500 for an assault with a deadly
weapon. The trouble grew out of a set
tlement for some work alleged to have
been done.
Governor Thayer has issued a proc
lamation offering a reward of $200 for
the arrest and conviction of John Knapp,
who is accused of murdering Albert
Lippach, in Box Butte, on June 30.
Knapp is about six feet high, about 35
or 40 years old, light complected, heavy
blonde moustache, and weighs about 220
pounds. Ho was last seen in Wyoming.
Washington Letter.
From our regular correal .undent.
Senator Edmunds, chairman of the re
publican caucus, pursuant to instruc
tions of the caucus, has appointed
Senators Hoar, Siooner, Frye, Moody,
Aldrich, Sherman and Tngalls a com
mittee to examine into the advisibility
and feasibility of changing the rules of
the senate so as to provide for the clos
ing of debate upon any question which
may be before the senate at the will of
the majority, and report to a caucus to
lie held early this week tho best method
of making such change, should the cau
cus deem it necessary in order to ex
fiedite the business before the senate.
This move is the direct result of the
braggadocio of tho light-headed but
loud-mouthed democrats, who have
been filling the nowspapers with how
they intended to defeat the will of the
majority, if they dared to attempt to
pass the federal election bill by the sen
ate at this session was hardly regarded
by those liest posted as ono of tho pos
sibilities, but is very probable, and lie
coming more so every day. This is a
republican congress, and it does not
propose to be dictated to by its political
opponents. The republican caucus to
lie held early this week will determine
the matter.
Mr. Conger, chairman of tho house
committee, says of the silver bill: "It is
a compromise, as all conference bills
must lie, but it is a bill that will answer
tho demands of the country; it will
answer therdemands of the silver miner;
it will answer the demands of the agri
culturists; of the laborers and of the
business men. The bill will give the
country at the present price of silver an
increase in circulation of $57,780,000 a
year, and if silver goes up to a parity
with gold it will givo an annual increase
of $70,000,000. The last section of the
bill will put into circulation $70,000,000
now tied up for the redemption of bank
notes. The democrats refused to sup
port this bill, notwithstanding the large
measure of relief it gives the people.
This is a republican measure, and every
financial measure of importance which
has been successful in this country
with one solitary exception has Ijeen a
republican measure; it has been agreed
to and passed by republican votes, and
will be signed by a republican president,
and it will go to a country which will
give such a republican endorsement that
many of the gentlemen who have op
posed it will not vote in the next con
gress." The action of the Virginia state re
publican committee which met here last
week, in deciding to put up no state
ticket this year because of the one-sided
election law in that state, has made more
senatorial converts to the federal elec
tion bill than any one thing which has
occurred here.
The democrats realizing that they are
playing a desperate game, have made
Senator Gorman party dictator, be
lieving that the man who counted Cleve
land in can do anything. He certainly
has the nerve and the impudence to at
tempt to do anything that will help his
party, but in this case it will not lie the
slightest use for him to attempt any
underhanded business.
Representative Anderson of Kansas,
has offered a resolution revoking all
leaves of absence to members of the
house, except on account of 6icknesp.
This looks like business.
The senate gave considerable time last
week to a discussion of the two shipping
bills, and both of them have passed the
senate and it is believed that one, if not
both of them, will pass the house.
Senator Teller has introduced a joint
resolution declaring it to be the determ-J
ined policy of the United States to use
both gold and silver as full legal
money, and instructing the preei
SW
invite the governments of the Latin
American countries, and of such other
nations as he may deem advisable, to
join the United States in a conference
to adopt a common ratio between gold
and silver.
The house committee on military
affairs has favorably reported the bill
reviving the grade of lieutenant-general
of the army.
Secretary Windom has decided to ap
point Gen. Nettleton of Minnesota, an
old personal friend, an assistant secre
tary of the treasury, the number of as
sistants having been increased to three
by the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, which became a law
Friday.
Some amusement has been created
here by tho attempts of certain parties
to make it appear that Mr. Blaine was
the author of an article in the current
North American Review which sharply
criticizes Speaker Reed. Tho article is
written about as much liko Mr. Blaine's
style as it is like Bill Nye's articles, and
no one knows this better than the
speaker: hence the amusement.

In a recent article in tho Youth's Com

writer advises a hot lemonade to lie tak

ment, especially during the severe cold
weather of the winter months, as it opens
the iores of tho skin and leaves tho sys
tem in such a condition that another and
much more severe cold is almost certain
to I contracted. Many years constant
use and the exiierieneo of thousands of
persons or all ages, has fully demonstrat
ed that there is nothing letter for a
eevere cold than Chamljerlain's Cough
