Johnson, a farmer living- about seven miles east of Steele City, j committed suicide last week by taking poison. The symptoms suggest strych- nine, but it is not known positively j what drug he used.

I It is known to a moral certainty who some of them are, bu, so far they have 1 escaped detection in the act of taking the nets up and securing the fish. One day last week one of these nets was dis 1-.a .. ki... c .1 .1 ficer set to watch for the owners to corae and take it up. Just after dark two men on horseback came to lift the net, but before they could do so discov- ead the officer and beat a hasty retreat The net was taken up the next day and found to contain about forty pounds of wall-eyed pike and suckers. The fish ermen are out one net, but no doubt have plenty of others in the Blue and West Blue, judging from the number of fish on the market at times.

Dbxveii, July 14. The Rocky Moun tain iNews will publish tomorrow cor respondence between Grover Cleveland and Hon. Blanton Duncan, clearly showing that Cleveland encouraged Mr. Duncan id secure him support in California at the last election upon the claim that he would approve a bill for the free coinage bf the American silver product. Upon June 24, 1S92, Mr. Duncan wrote a letter in which the following occurs: ia fact Mr. Cleveland's utterances have been misrepresented, for his whole career demonstrates that everything passed by congress to restore silver to its position prior td 1873" wddld lie en: doroed by hint The" distinction that he has made indicated a fear upon his part that an unlimited coinage of sil ver of the whole World might prUducc disaster and calamity upon our com mercial interests. That he would willingly bign a bill providing' for the free coinage of the silver from our own mines 1 am perfectly convinced. This letter was sent both to Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson Vofolc ils publc"Hiott. It was written very shortly after their nomination and ex tensively published. After writing that letter Mr. Duncan informed Mr. Cleveland that he would secure the ele toral vote of California for him by "-ettintr editorials mid arti- ' clcs into the chief nilners of southern ' California commending him along that t "nc. lie also inclosed him clinmntrs. from the Los Angoles Times, commending mm ;c the voters of California because of his friendship for silve.

I am glad you are working in the line you indicate in your letter, and I have not the slightest doubt but that very grent good will be the rPsuU. In the sanie letter lie also says: I know of no one who can avail hinv self be.1 er of such an opportunity than yourself. Mr. Duncan writes: Mr. Cleveland's letter was a tacit pledge to me that I had stated his views conectly. No other construction enn be placed upon it, and if Ml-. Clevelaiid had any reservations he had n'O right to ask of me the carrying out of action which was to give him and the people voluntary service without expectation or dcmann ior payment aim icnaw upon nvy part Mr. Stevenson thaiTkcd me heartily, and I do not doubt what his action will be when the millions ask him to save them from destruction. Nchraska Savings Bank of Lincoln In the Hands of the State Hoard. Lincoln-, July 14. Last evening at about 7 o'clock Lieutenant P. II. Town- I ley. clerk of the state b.inking board, I posted a notice on the door of the Ne-" ' braska Savings bank announcing that ' the bank had been taken charge of by the board and would close its doors. This bank began to feel the strain of the Capital National failure last May. As a result of Moshcr's fall itlost$10J, ooo in depositsand on May 17 sustained a heavy run. At this time it took ad vantage of the sixty-days banking law and refused to pay out more than $500 to any one depositor. This sixty days ' of grace expiree next week, and as the 1 odicials of the bank could not realize J on their securities, they considered it wise to turn the business over to an ex- a,n.!ncr' There is no doubt that every cent will be paid the depositors. The bank owes $4S,000 to other banks in the city and $01,000 to depositors. Its assets consist of $128,000 in good paper; be ! sides this there is $30,000 in notes which I are six months over due and are not j counted as good assets. Mr. Townley ' will at once begin an examination of the bank's accounts. He stated this evening that he had been over the books a short time since and if the pa per was good there would be consider ably more than enough to pay out the depositors in full.

The sequel to the conference ap- ' pe.ired a little later when the so-rotary published the announcement that he ' has suspended the inspection of sheep, beef and lambs at the abattoir of the , Jacob Dold Packing company of Buf- falo. This action was taken upon the report of an inspector that none of the inspected meat is sold to the interstate or foreign trade.

Chicago, July 13. The World's fair is to be closed on Sundays after July 16. The admissions of next Sunday have already been donated for the re lief of the families bf firemen who lost their lives in the recent fire on the grounds, and but for this fact the fair would probaUy have been closed next Sunday. The vote of the local direc tory rescinding its former action was overwhelmingly in favor of closing1 it. standing 24 to 4. When the meeting of directors was called late yesterday afternoon an &d dress advocating Sunday closing, signed by the leading Chicago clergymen; was read. The close of the address was the sig nal for a scries of speeches, all of them in favor of closing the fair. Vice Presi dent Peck, who presided in the absence of President Higginbotham, then read the following resolution, which -was at once adopted) and the directors ad journed, apparently well pleased with themselves and their work: Whereas, The board of directors at a regular meeting, held May 10, 1S93, adopted certain resolutions providing for the opening of th?s exposition on Sunday in response to certain urgent appeals from persons and organizations rcprespntintr a large majority Of the public, as well as from stockholders of the corporation, and also in accordance with a resolution adopted by the city louneil of the city of Chicago, repre senting the financial interests of said city in said exposition to the amount of S5,ooo,ood, aiid; Whereas, This action of the board has been sustained by the United States circuit court of appeals, and the right and power of b board of directors to control the physical administration of the exposition on Sundays as well as on any other days of the week, has been upheld by the final decree of said court; and, Whereas, It now appears by the act ual admissions that the general rmbli does not by its attendance manifest a desire that said exposition should be kept open every day in the week, it further appears that if the exposition is kept open on Sunday it will require the attendance of more than 10,000 laboring men and women, the employes of the exposition and others, and while the exposition authorities can givn its own employes one day of rest out of each week, it seems impracticable for the exhibitors and others to provide such a day of rest for their own clerks and emploj-es; ahd, Whereas, It further appears that th number of laboring men and women whose service will be necessarily re quired to keep the exposition open on Sundays is disproportionate to the num ber of visitors on said days and, there fore, the interests of the public are not promoted by keeping the exposition open on bah and every day of the week, now, therefore, be it Pesoh ed, That all the said resolu tions adopted by this body on May 10, isy.1, and the amendments to the rule rclati e thereto adopted on said day, save and except the price of admission! bp, and the same are hereby rescinded, to take effect after the ioth inst Auditor Ackerman of the World's fair presented the financial statement of the exposition to the board of directors 4icj. Tinoiun-uiuui extern the en tire period bf tho exposition up to J line 3'Jth. The receipts of the fair from ticket saies, concessions ami other sources since July 1 have been over $1,000,00) ' and a large reduction in the floating . debt has been made. According to the statement the total gate receipts were $2,121,000.70, including S282,449.51, re ccivea prior 10 .May 1. The total ex penditures to June 30, were $20,010, 100.40. Of this amount $10,55G,0G2.93 is charged to construction. The ope rating expenses for May at $009,8S3.87 and receipts $719, 102.71. During June the estimated receipts were $1,000, S20.21 and expenses $042,912.27, leaving a balance for the two months of $1,127, 417.78. Growing Better Day by Day. New York, July 15. The marked Improvement in the financial situation noticed by bank officers two or three days ago was reported today to show no sign of abatement, and the situation this morning was declared more encour aging than yesterday. The percentage of cash used in the payment of balances was greater than herctorc. This morn ing one. national bank retired $140,000 loan certificates. These certificates will now be retired by large banks day by day from the clearing house in payment of balances. The banks re port the receipt of large amounts of currency from the country and a no ticeable decrease in the applications for rediscount and other accommodations by country banks. The comptrollers call for a statement of the condition of national banks on July 12 will, it is be lieved, .relieve a large amount of cur rency.

The funeral party was driven from the church to the dock of the steamer General and upon her transported to Wickford, leaving at 1:20 p. ru. There a special parlor car was in waiting for the party. IngalU' Attnck on Held. Chicago, July 12. Hon. Whitclaw Reid, ex-minister to France, who, with his family ha been neeing the World's fair for some days past, was caught last night by a reporter just as he was stal t ing back for New York. ' Trwl nvm-AQcnrl rrpoit lolifrlit with the fair. The reporter asked Mr. Reid if he had read ex-Senator Ingalls' criticism of his candidacy for the vice presidency. "No,'' said Mr. Reid, with a laugh, "but you know I i as not in favor of that nomination m5-sclf, so probably the ex-senator and I would not diffef materially."' The reporter then showed Mr. Reid the passage in which J!r. Ingalls sneered at him as '-uxorious and aris tocratic," objected to his address, man ners and ways, and tpoke of his "sur reptitious insults to the laboring men." "That," said Mr. Reid, with more seriousness, "is absurd. I have, been a laboring man myself, far more than Mr. Ingalls ever was, and he would probably be puzzled to specify any in sult, surreptitious or otherwise, that I ever offered to labor, or to ahy honest man. All this talk about hostility tO the national ticket last year on account of the fifteen-year-old strike, which was settled to the satisfaction of the labor unions themselves, is sheet' clap trap any way. There never were 1,000 votes affected by it in New York, even when it was an open question. To say when it was settled that the labor unions still carried it into politics is to accuse them, not merely Of bad faith, but of a systematic violation of their own cardinal principles and is thus offering them the grossest insults. Of course, our opponents made a great hubbub about it, but most of whom they claim were affected were enlisted already on their side. I doubt whether Powderly or any other reputable and responsible labor leader will say that the question turned a thousand labor votes in the United States last fall. Certainly it did not turn one where a single rifle shot at the Carnegie works turned hundreds. ' "What about the 'uxoriousness and aristocracy?' " asked the reporter. "O. pshaw," said Mr. Reid, "whoever heard before of a rational man attack ing a candidate because he was de cently fond of his wife? The rest of Mr. Ingalls' complaint seems to be that in other particulars, also, I act likca gentleman. Well, out in Kansas they surely did not bring that accusation against him. And yet, when he was last a candidate, although he aban doned his supposed principles and crawled in the dirt before them, Mrs. Lease and Mr. Peffer thrust him into the gutter. He has been lying1 there ever since, shouting murder and bad language." "What can be his motive for the at tack?" pursued the reporter, "How do I know? And what's the use of guessing? He seems to lack em ployment since he was thrown out of office-holding', and I suppose the man must make a living by lecturing or writing for the syndicates. We have dozens of such statesmen out of a job applying to us for work after every election, and I fancy your paper has the same experience,"' and, with a cheery good-by, the New York editor swung into a cab and started for his train. Just a Few Want It. Washington, July 12. Besides the large number of persons who have been "spoken of as candidates for as sistant secretary of agriculture, there is on file in this department the per sonal application of twenty-seven peo ple, among them one woman.

The idea which was aroused by the president's action in calling' an extra session of congress, that the work for which it would Assemble could be accomplished in a few days, 6r at furthest in a few weeks, is dying out and the national legislators who are competent of judg ing' what a congress can or cannot do are satisfied that a protracted struggle is on hand over the repeal of the Sher man law. The idea that all the ills which hare befallen the financial world are directly due to the operations of the silver purchase act is not as potent as it was. Tile attitude of the free sil ver men is" jus as threatening as it ever was, ana the assertion 01 ocmuoi Teller the other day that the tight would be made and the content would be to the death, has caused no little consternation among the administra tionkfa. It is now accepted by most of the democratic leaders that wliii CoCjrress meets it will remain in session witn'mit intermission until the work of the first regular session of the Fifty-third con gress shall itftve been accomplished. Those who expect to" i'avp a linger in the tariff pie are preparing to take right hold as soon as the ways and means committee is appointed. It has been semi-oflicially announced that this com triittee will accord hearings to those in terested in the revision of the tariff. Representative Jtfc Wheeler of Ala bama has arrived in Washington and will probably stay here and assist in the organization of the house. in speaking of what congress would do he said: "The problem lv be solved by con gress is to so legislate us to preserve the monetary functions in both gold and silver. If gold goes to a premium, for all nractieal purposes it ceases to be money, nnd one-fourth of our cir culation is withdrawn. If silver is de prived of its functions as money we would lose about the same amount of circulation. Such a withdrawal of either would contract the currency and add to the sufferings of the people. If congress repeals the Sherman act without any condition attached, the country may find confidence shaken in the" $1 47,000.000 of treasury notes issued under that law, and thfl "country may also find that such hasty legislation has deprived us of some half a billion of monej, acquired under the acts of 1875 ?m 1890. Therefore let us take warning" fit tbf first preamble of the New York Chamber Of Commerce reso lutions, which says this country has suffered greatly by reason of hasty and ill-advised financial legislation. "We all remember the prosperity whit'h commenced in 1S79. when gold ceased td be rt commodity and became money. We cah hardly predict llie evil which would follow should our $514,000,000 of gold now cease to be money and again become merchandise. But we must look at all sides of the question. The irrepressible conflict of the iiext twentj' years will be the struggle between our country and world. When congress meets w6 Win hae the presidents message anil Sec retary Carlisle's report, and the subject will be more caret tiny uiseusseu thoroughly investigated." and Situation at Vomeroy. FortDodgk, la., July 14. Over one liu.'idred laborers and mechanics were at work in the ruins at Pomeroy yester day.

Robbed of a Large Sum. McxIi.kster, I. T., July 14. James Townsend, a butcher, who lives at this place, while on a tour buying beef cat tle near Hartshorn, I. T., was seized, bound and gagged by two men named Railey, and made to give up $1,500 in cash, which he had drawn from the bank at South McAlester to buy cattle With. After having firmly secured their victim and relieved him of all his monej the two robbers bound a sack over the unfortunate man's head, so he could not see, then hastily beat a re treat It was onwards of an hour before Townsend managed to extricate him- j self from the rope that bound him. A 1 posse was soon formed and a general scouring- of the country for the desper- j adoes ensued. At 0 o'clock a. m. one 1 of the searching party reached here ' and gave an accurate description of the two robbers to the officers at this place, 1 who have joined in the hunt, and it is . though that the desperadoes will be 1 captured before morning.
