Grant funeral procession wore paired s
na to have cash CDiipla composed of a

South Carolina , were paired in till
way. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE minnor in which a gcoat dual o
the street rapming is done is simply a
iraato of moaoy. Tali is the caio on
streets on the hlll-sido , where every rain
washes out the dirt that has boon filled
into the holes and gullies. This waste o
money will continue until the otraots run
nlng up Ospltol hill are paved.
WE have always labored under the 1m
prcsslon tint salvation is cheap , but It
cornea rather .high at St. Joo. It wll
east the cltlzeui of that place § 5,000 to
bring Rav. Sam. Jones there to stir up
and convert tha heathen. Bat as Mr.
Jonoa draws a bigger ccowd than a circus
or a state fair , It will probably provo a
profitable investment. By the way , why
would it not ba a goad thing to Induce
Sam. Jones to come to Oonhi and iuau
gnrato the exposition building , upon its
completion this fall , with a grand re
vival ?
THIS old "eooeeh" in Charleston , South
Carolina , era still unrepentant and unro
constructed. On the day of Grant's
funeral there was no demonstration b ;
the white pooplo. Charleston was th
bot-bed of secession , and it was there
that the opening gun of the rebellion was
fired. The conduct of the people o
Vlcksbnrg on the other hand was in
pleasing contrast with that of the citizens
of Charleston. Although Vfcksburg suf-
forcd from a terrible siege at the hands
of Gen. Grant they paid a worthy tribute
to his memory en last Saturday.
THE wheat crop of the United States
this year accord log to the latest and
most reliable estimates will fall short cf
last year's production by about 204,000-
000 bushels. But last year's crop was so
enormous that the price in many parts of
the country was actually leas than the
cost of production. The farmers have
devoted a larger chare of their eilorla this
yesr to the production of ether crops ,
and unexpected weather damage has atill
further reduced the yield. But the pro
duct for the year la oitlmatcd at 325-
000.000 bushels , and that , with the
surplus left over from last year , will
comfortably feed 50,000,000 people.
THE production of the Russian pe
troleum field , which Is rapidly Incrcaalng ,
Is evidently destined at no distant day
to dtivo American petroleum from many
of the leading markets of Europe , where
It has until quite recently enjoyed a
monopoly. One of the heaviest operat
ors in Pennsylvania , who not long ago
went to Russia to examine the phoneme
nal oil wells , or epoutors , at Baknr , big
returned with the conviction that Russia
bas the bigg ott oil wells in the -world.
The wells are operated by the Nobel
company , The production of the
Bukur welli at present Is between
30,000 and 35,000 barrels B day , which
can bo Incroaud to 50,000 btrrols a day.
Prom 1879 , when the development of
this oil field was begun , until the opening
of the proiont year , the Nobel well * ,
now numbering forty-two , have produced
4,600,000 barrels. During 1881 about
1,000 barrels of refined oil were shipped
out cf Russia dally , This year the quan
tity will bo Increased to 3ROD or .1,000
barrels a day. The Nobel company
started in with a capital of $120,000 , and
and now employs $10,000,000. Of course
it dictates the price * cf Run/au / oil , and
does butlnees on a plan tomowhtt similar
io our own gigantic monopoly , tba Stand
ard Oil company. It la to Ruts'a ' what
ilo Btnndud Is to this country.
TDK MONTANA TtUDE.
The jobber ! cf Omaha have up to this
llmo enjoyed a large trade In the rich
territory o Montana , but unices they
wake up they are liable to lose a consid
erable portion of it. The enterprising
jobbers of St. Paul , -who aoml-annually
make business trips In a body over their
territory to visit their customers and to
build up their trade , have laldthelr plans
to capture nearly the entire patronage of
Montana. Those St. Paul dealers hare
just vliltcd the principal towns of Mon
tana , and have satisfied themsolvoi of the
richness f that field. They were
particularly Impressed with the
thriving clly of Bntto , where
wages amounting to over $000,000 are
paid to the minors every month , and
where , in the language of the St. Paul
Pioneer Prcsi , the leading business es
tablishments are metropolitan In their
character and proportions and in the extent -
tent of their s les. No batter measure ,
sajs this paper , can bo given of the rela
tive importance of Butte as a business
center than the simple faot that Its
freight business furnishes nearly one-
eighth cf the aggregate gross earnings of
the en'ire Union Pacific system. The
Pioneer Press In urging the Northern
Pacific to build a broad guago line to
Butte says :
It Is n most unfortunate and extraordinary
fact thrtt nearly the entire business of this ,
the richest mining district in the world , lying
right in the path of Uio Norlhern Pacific
railroad ana belonging legtllmately to its
territory , is now monopolized by the Union
Pacific railway , which reaches it by the nar
row gauge branch , called the Utah & North
ern , This narrow Range Hue , extended to
Garrison , a diitanca of fHty-fivo miles , under
the control of the jealous and hostile corpora
tion , whole main line runs four or five hun
dred miles south , forms Iho only means of
access from the Northern 1'flcific to Units.
Wo do neb know what compromises or con
cessions were extorted from the Northern
Pacific management , during the struggling
infancy of that enterprise , by which it was
compelled to surrender by far the most im
portant and valurtblo business on its route to
the greed of n rival which has to reach over
four hundred miles out ot its way to get it.
It is said that the Union Pacific pays thr
Noithern Pacific a large sum yearly to keep
out the Butto. But no bribe , however large ,
can justify the neglect of tha Northern Pa
cific to provide the business communities
along its line with adcqnnta facilities of com
munication with tha markets of the world ,
H * * * It Is n public wrong to permit the
Union Pacific to extortextravrgant prices for
this inadequate service. * * * And the
jobbers of St. Paul came away from there im-
preesed with the conviction that that oxten-
tlon would be worth millions of dollars yearly
interest . * * * In
to their own trade ?
spite of a natural desire on the part of the
carriers to eecuro the long haul , and In spite
of pooling arrangements which great systems
find necestary to keep the peace , traffic , when
it nsnimes'proportions so considerable as that
of liutlo has already reached , will choose and
profit by the shortest route from point to
point. It is inevitable that the through busi
ness of Butle will be carried over the North
ern Pacific line. .
- - - - -
-t--r-
Here , then , is certainly a matter wnicn
deeervcs the attention of the Union Pa
cific as well as of our wholesale dealers.
If , as Is charged , the Union Pacific ha
bribed the Northern Paclfio to keep on
of Bnttc , thus securing a monopoly an
maintaining outrageous high rates ,
strikes ns that It is high time for th
Union Pacific to change Ita methods
dealing with Montana. Now is the tim
to reduce the rates In order to regain th
good will of the people of that territory
and If possible prevent the Northern Pa
cifio from building Into Bntto. Th
moment that the Northern Pacific runs In
to Butte the UnlonPaclfiowillloaoalarg
share of Us Montana traffic , and at th
came time the Omaha merchants will ro
ccivo a heavy blow. Our wholesale trade
although in prosperous condition , is inm
shape to experience any auch a loss o
business as wonld very likely reanl
from a Northern Pacific line to
Butto. It behooves our jobbers to
Impress upon the Union Paclfio th
Immediate neceeslty of a material reduc
tion of Montana rates aud the adoption
of a very llbeial policy in tbo future
towards the business men of that terri
tory.
tory.Tho
The members of the St. Paul jobbers
union , among whom are some very rich
\nd Influential mon , are bringing every
preseuro to bear on the Northern Pacific
to build a branch to Butto. They realize
the Importance of capturing the trade
that is tributary to that point. Now lol
; ho Union Paclfio do its duly , and nol
ffait for suggestions and petitions from
.ho Omaha jobborc. Lat It at once pul
lown its rates. It has boon enjoying
nonopoly long enough , In fict , too long ,
tnd the people cf Montana , groaning cn-
ler excessive transportation tariff , will
lall with delight the advent of a now
mtlet which will give them competition
n rates.
REWARDING FAITHFUL WORK
MEN.
The Scranton Stael company has
idoptod a very commendable system of
incouraglng continuous faithful work on
ho patt of its employes. All employes
fho have worked for the corn-
> any continuously , who Invo not at
> ny time , nor In any way , loft the com
lany'a service , who have not been dis-
barged nor suspended for cause , and who
lave neither strack nor quit by their own
'oluntary aot , will have tno following
lercentages hereafter added ' - > the
itnonnt of their monthly doe bills ;
When a man ehall have worked for the
ompany conlmuouily , as above , for the pe-
lodof one year , a bonui of 1 par cent , will
e added to th amount of hli duo bill ; on e
ail a half yean , 1 } par eaat.j two yoin , 2
or coat. ; two ami n half yoira , S } par cant. ;
ad soon , one-half of ona per cent , for eich
idltlonal six months of oaatlrmpm work , up
> lift years , after which tba percentage of
anui will not ba lacreaiad ,
The works are ajjuined to hava coin-
leuced operations In May , 1883 , mi
ercontagei Trill date from that tlmo to
ich men ai arj entitled to tbo same
ndor the abwc cpnditlona. This cus
tom does aot apply to foremen or salaried
officers , This plan Is cort&luly worthy
of consideration b/ every extensive em
ployer In this country who desires to
avoid strikes and to aoauro faithful work
men. The only obstacle In the way ol
Its general adoption la the fact that It will
bo a dtfflcultjnaUer to induce competitors
to agree upon any such system of rewards
One ostabllsmont conld hardly afifjrd to
pay such rewards while another in the
same line of business refuses to do it
and thus be enabled to ooll its product
at a lower rate than its rival. But in
such extensive concerns as the Scranton
stool company tha plan uo doubi can bo
profitably carried out.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S DUIY
The BEF. Is not making war upon th
homo insurance companies , bat it doe
not tike much stock In the "homo" busl
noes as Inaugurated in this state. Ther
may bo some except Ions , and hones
management may be hampered by I ricks
tors and confidence men , but on th
whole -wo do not believe It is safe or prn
dent to risk Ufa or properly with partlo
who go Into the Insurance business on
the benevolent or beneficent plan for th
purpose of seeking patronage under th
plea of patronizing homo Industry. Mos
of those mutual benevolent Institution
have no bottom beyond the toner
or fifteen per cent paid In
by parties vrho have boon induced to sub
scribe to the stock with tbo Idea tha
they will receive about five hundred po
cent on every ton cents invested. Wo venture
turo to eay that if the paid up politic
were thrown up In a body and the cxcca
had to b refunded , there would bo a tcr
riblo crash. The nttorney-gonnral , no
matter what wo think of htm , politically
or personally , Is right In investigating
those companies , and wo shall sustain him
It Is his sworn duly ti protect people
against bogus Insurance and against in
surance schemes that are conducted con
trary to law and without proper inaran-
tees of safety to the hunted , It is to bo
hoped that hln Investigations and pro
cocdlngj will bo thorough and impartial
Do must not allow himself to bo influ
cnced In any way for political reasons
So far ai the BEE is concerned it ha ; al
ways fought quacks and Impostors of ev
cry description , and wo do not propose to
have our hands tied even if some of our
best friend ] are caught in the round-up
of those flimsy concerns.
MINNESOTA'S ' CENSUS.
The state census of Minnesota , which
la rapidly approaching completion , fur
nishes some interesting statistics. In
1880 the stito had a population of 780-
733 , and the returns from fifty of tbo
seventy-nine counties show on average
Increjso during the five yaars of over 20
per cant , which would indicate a prcseni
population of about 1,000,000. The
most populous countloj in the state are
Ramsay and Hennopln , In which St.
Paul and Minneapolis are located. It la
estimated that In these two counties there
are 250,000 people , or about one-fourth
of the entire population of the state.
The city that has had the moat remarka
ble growth during the past five years la
Dulnth , which has grown from 3,483 , in
1880 to 18,030 , an Increasa of 14,653 , or
over 400 per cont. She his jumped
from the position of seventh to that of
the third city in the state. Still water
baa a population of 10,438 , an Increase of
0,055 , going ahead of Wlnona , which
drops down from third to fifth place ,
her population being 15,025 , an increase
of 5,417. The census returns from St.
Paul and Minneapolis will probably bo
filed this week. Each of thcsa cities will
show a population of over 100,000. Sev
eral countloa and towns show n decrease.
The moat remarkable is tint of the town
of St. Charles. In 1880 It had 2,011 ,
and in 1885 it has only 1,184 , a decrease
of 827 , or about 40 par cont. Compar
ing the census of Minnesota with that of
Nebraska , wo find that the formar state
Increase ! ) her pjpuhtloii b ? 20 per cent. ,
while the latter hai Increased over 50
per cent. Nebraska now Inn about
730,000 population , or very nearly throe-
fourths of the population clainnd by
Minnesota. It la safe to predict that
within the next five years Nebraska will
catoh up with Minnesota , if she does not
leave her behind ,
a hero In the person of
Long John Wentworlb. Ho has pur-
chatod aton thousand dollar lot in a ceme
tery near that city , upon which ho pro
poses to have erected a sixty thousand
dollar braes monument of heroic- size to
perpetuate hla own rn nry. His many
admiring friends feel that they have been
relieved of a monumental burden. Had
not the farseeing Long John thus pro
vlded fora monument , his frlenda would
probably have felt bound to give him one
worth about tlx dollars. Taking Into
consideration what millionaire Wentworth -
worth has done for Chicago and the
public wo think a six-dollar monument
would ba altogether too extravagant an
outlay In bis honor. Bays the Chicago
Herald ; "No citizen to whom Chicago
gave so much returned so little , If ho
were wise he would discover that there
are monuments and monuments,1 that
some have their foundation In the gratl
tudo and good will of a people who 10-
uumber a benefactor ; that others bnt
mark the vanity of tbo rich and foolish ,
and evoke the contempt of mankind. "
MAYOR BOYI has issued an order that
the saloons must be closed at midnight ,
> nd that the doors mint be closed on
Sunday. This la a step In the direction r

ANECDONSS OP GEN. GUtVNT ,
Kcpnngnnnoo to Ostentation uls
importtirbAbllltr An Incident
ot Fott Donolson.
Gen , Grant's ropungnanco to anything
like snobbishness or oitontallon was one
of his marked characteristic * . Shortly
after ha settled down In Now York city
a noted artist desired to paint hii per
trait. Consent being gained , the artist
called at the hotito { or his first sitting
lie Is a man whoso elegant deportment
and aristocratic bearing are among his
prominent characteristic ; . The general
received his guest In a blnnt and open
manner , invited htm to the parlorwhere
an easel was prepared and tno work bo-
gun. There was a knock at the
dosr. "Come in , " said the general ,
it provrd to be Mrs. Gran * . She wanted
money for marketing. The artist struck
an attitude of heroic Indifference at the
easel , while ho watched the General pull
out an old-fashioned , faded , and much-
worn pockotbook. It was tied with a
black string , which ho slowly removed ,
got the money , and handed some to hla
wife. The black string , the veteran
wallet , the filthy lucre , or something in
the transaction Itself , shocked the sensi
bilities of the artist , if the painful ex
pressions on his mobi o face told the
truthful tale , bnt ho managed to resume
work. It was a warm day. The nrttat
perspired. Presently ho wont across the
room and pulled a boll-cord.
"What do you want ? " asked Gan.
Grant.
' 'I rang for a servant to bring mo a
glass of watsr , " was the reply.
The general got up frjm his chair and
walked out. In a moment or two he re
turned Ttith a goblet of Ice-wator for the
thirsty artist , win was so confused that
ho oven forgot to express his thanks. The
general paid not the slightest attention to
hid confusion , but went on with the sit-
tlug as if nothing had happouod.
One of the stories of Grant's Imper
turbability was told after ho had taken
charge of the army of the Potomac. A
visitor to the aruiy called on him eco
mottling. The general was ainoking and
talking to his stair officers. The caller
Inquired of him : "General , If you ( link
Lea and got , between him aud Hammond
will you not uncover Washington and
leave It a prey to the enemy ? " General
Grant lot a big wave of araoio roll out of
hla mouth as ho replied in an indlfioront
way , "Yes , I reckon at. " Encouraged
in his line of attack on the cltadol of In-
f 01 illation , the visitor continued :
"General , don't you think Leo can
detach sufficient force from his
army to reinforce Beauregard and
overwhelm Bntler'f" "Not a dobnt of it , '
said the General as calmly as before , '
while ha knocked the ashes from his cigar
with his little finger. The chocked face
of the qacrisi was evidence of his
perturbation of spirit over Grant's replies ,
ai ho propounded a third luqalry :
"General , Is there not danger lh\t John
ston may come up aud reinforce Lee , eo
that the latter will awing around and cut
your communication and sob.3 your sup
plies ! " "Very likely , " said Grant , aa ho
paffed another wave of smoke out of bis
mouth BO aa to form a series of tings.
The visitor hastened back ta Washington
full cf the horrible fate that was admit
tedly pondirg over Grant and the army ,
while Grant and the army went on to
Richmond.
Tbo colonel of a western regiment ob
tained from Goa. Grant a sick-furlough.
While ha was at home ho was nominated
for congress and proceeded to canvass the
district , applying meanwhile for an ex
tension of the furlough till after election
day. Gen. Grant wrota on tha bick of
the papers : "If Col. Blank ij able to
travel over hla district to electioneer for
congress ho Is able to b = with his regi
ment , and Is hereby ordered to join it
Immediately or be dlamiisad from the
service. "
Gen. Grant could obey orders aa well
aa give them. Ho walked down to the
whurf at City Point one day , absorbed in
thought. The Inevitable cigar was in
ila mouth. A negro guard touched hi )
arm and said : "No smoking on the dock ,
s h. " "Aro those your orders ! " asked
; ho general , looking up. "Yes , sab , " re
plied the watchman , courteously bat do-
ildodly. "Very good orders , " said
jlrint , as ho threw hi ] cigar Ir , the
water.

ReccolIectlonB of a Witness of tlio
Exemplary Execution on tlio
Itrig Sauicru in 18112.
Philadelphia Times.
"I was a boy in the United States
Navy on the brig Soraors In ' 42 , when
thoeo three mon were hung that were ra-
erred to In tbo 'Lookout' column of the
Clmcs some tlmo ago , " said John W.
Davis , on Chestnut otteet the other day.
'The sight of thoio thrao young msn
langlng at the yard-arm and their burial
it the eca at night has haunted mo all
ny life. It often comes up bsforo ma
when I'm walking along the street. I
an never forget It. I know Spancer , the
aidahlpnian , well. Ho waa a wild , dare-
evil sort of fellow , about nineteen joara
f ago , but good natural and not rnali-
lously Inclined. I think the execution
f all tbo men was a grave mistake , and
n looking back at it now I believe that It
irai foul murder.
"Wo sailed from New York on the
3th of September , ' 42 , for the coast of
ifiica , and first began cruising In the
vest Indies. In the latter part of No-
ember , before wo reached St. Thomas ,
lldshipman Spencer , who was the son
f the secretary of war , was suddenly
leized one day , put In double Irons and
cept a prisoner In close confinement. Two
> ther men , the boatswain's mate , who
raa acting as boatswain , and whoso name
TBS Cromwell , and a soamau , who was
taptain of the main top , named Small ,
vero arrested a day cr two afterward ] ,
bllowcd by tbo arrest of four others. All
voro put In double Iron * . Wo bad no
uarino cuard on board. The offiosra ap-
> eared to bo frightened to death about
lomothing and the men of the ship's com-
jany were afraid tobesjen talking to
taoh other. After Spoucor's arrest it
vas no'sjd around decks that he had
brmed a p'ot ' to selzj the ship , along
vlth a few of tbo ahlpVcrow , and turn
t Into a piratical craft. Among others ,
locorrmanlcated his plan to tha purser's
toward , who got a list of the conaptr *
.tors and told the whole rtory to Lieut.
klolntoeh , the executive tilicer.
"Two cr throe days after the arrests a
lumber of the oiiicars mot In the ward
corn and called in a number of the ship's
riiw and examined them. Tno state-
lents und oven the opinions of oich wit-
iesa was taken down , but the accused
ion were not allowed to face their ao-
ueeri , were not to'd what ; the charge !
rero in detail and were not granted any
pportuniiy for explanation ur defjnio.
> u ( he 1st of December , four daya after
poncor'd arrest , ho , along with Oroni-
oil anl Small , were told to get ready to.
IP ; that they were gsli'K to swing at the ] 11
trlarm at ones. Spencer and the'c '
ctptaln of the top acknowledged their
unlit and were willing to die ; bnt the
acting boatswain protested his Innocence
to the last , and Spencer declared , also ,
that ho , Cromwell , had nothing to do
with the plot , 'Call all hands to witness
nxecatlon , ' tald the first lieutenant.
The ship's company sullenly ranged
themeelvus on the quarter-dock and at
other point ] , while the cfllcsrj of the ship
stood around with drawn aud sharpened
swords to cut down any onp who faltered
In Inflicting the awful penalty. When
everything was ready Spencer and his
two companions were allowed to bid their
friends good-bye , then Captain Macken
zie gave the signal , a gun was fired , the
colors were hoisted and at the same llmo
the throe men , with capi over their faces ,
were swung out on the main yardarm. It
was a horrible sight to look at. All of
the men died game. Commander Mac
kenzie then made a speech to in abnnt
the nocoisity of discipline and the awful
crlmo of mutiny. At night funeral tor-
vices were react by the light of the battle
lanterns and the bodies were put on the
'tilting board' and dropped overboard
into the sea. It wan n solemn soeun , I
assure you , and it made on Impression on
my youthful mind that can never bo erad
icated. In a day or two wo rtn into St.
Thomas end then sot sail for Now York ,
arriving there on the 14th of Dosembor.
"There nas a good deal of excitement
when the news of the mutiny and the
hanging got noised around and hundreds
of people came dorrn to the ship to eoa
in. All of the others arrested were dls-
mlisjd from custody. Oammander
Mackenzie was court marlialod about a
month afterwards and the court sat for
forty days but acquitted him. It was
composed of his brother officers. Mackcn-
zio was not liked by the men. Ho was a
brutal martinet , anyhow. Flogging was
allowed in the navy in those days and ho
was very fond of administering the "cat"
for trivial ofTennoo. The friends of the
executed men tried to have Mackenzie
Indicted ia Now York tor murder , but
the judge decided that the civil law was
not applicable to his caeo. "

Ilia Fault In Death ,
Detroit Free Press ,
There was a terrible thunderstorm
omlng up , and a thunderstorm among
ho mountaina of Tenneaieo meana much
o the traveler over the narrow and wind-
eg roads , each ono full of peril from
ailing rocks or rushing water. It was
rowing dusky , too , and In the cloom and
.urry to reach shelter 1 came near riding
ver a womau who was coming down the
oap at a run. She screamed out and
limp 3d aaldo , and aa aho stood for a mo-
lent I called enl :
"The storm will bo hrro in ton mln-
tpii. Run for the house 1"
For ait Inetaut I caught eight of a
rhlto fico under a sunbonuot. The ryes
rero wild , the teeth not hard , and I
lionght of a minlao It was only for on
i&tint , and then a flash of li 'tUnlng sot
bo horse cfl at full gallop , ilo rau for
alf a mile an If frightened for his life ,
urned Io the right and leaped a fence ,
nd aa ho hulled at the door of a cabin a
oice shouted in my ear :
* Git down and come In1 Iko will
table tbo kottl"
The btorni broke at tint moment , and
hat with tbo wind , the nin , the rdd
as'jea and loud railing thunder , wo
uald only alt and look at etch other for
the first quarter ot an hour. Then Iho
storm lulled into n stonily pour , accom-
panlon by an occasional ficrco glut , and I
know that It wonld bo daybreak before
wo saw the last of It.
The man placed provisions on the table
and aat down to the board with mo. Ilo
made a great effort to appear hospltaMo
and cheerful , but I noticed that ho Trai
listening intently , as If for \olco or a
step , and twice ho rose up aud went to
the window. By and by 1 recollostod of
seeing a woman , rind asked :
' 'la there a cabin withinamllo or eo of
thla down the wad ? "
"None for nijh onto thrao , " ho re-
pliod.
"Then God help the woman I mot half
a mile below as the storm wai breading ! "
"A woman 1 Did the have on a eun-
bonnet1 ?
"Yes. "
"And dark "
a dross ?
"Yes. "
"That was Mary , my wl'ol Sbo eald
eho would , but I didn't tollovo It. "
"Would whoi ? "
Ilo rene up and ilunc ; open the door to
look out , A sheet of raiu blow half way
across the room , extlngu'shlnglng ' the
candle and leaving na In ilirknuns , and
the cabin rocked under the wind ai if it
wonld blow over. The man ahut the
door , relighted the candle , aud , placing
it at the window GO that ill light would
shine down the road , ho came over tome
mo and said :
"Yes , that was my wifo. SVo have
boon marrlnd two yeara. Yonder In tbo
cradle sloops our infant , "
"And what pcsjoracd her to start out
In this awful storm ? "
"I didl" ho exclaimed In an accusing
volcj. "Wo had a quarrel. Bnt for mo
it wonld have been only a trifle. She
was proud and haughty , though loviug
and affectionate , and , while I know I was
In the wrong , I waa determined to hum
ble her. An hour ago , when I demanded ,
with the beating of a tyrant , that she ro-
trast certain statements , eho calmly
dretssd horaolf and cot out for a tevcn-
mtlo walk to her father's. "
"You must have been Insane to lot her
got""God
"God forgive mo , bnt I would not say
ono Trord to keep her I I didn't believe
aho would go and when she want out ,
kissing the baby good by , bnt having
neither word ncr look for mo , I would
not oak her is stay. "
"And whit are htr chances In this
ntorm ? "
His facn was deiUh'y pale and his voice
trembled like a child'u ua ho answered :
"I'm ' goincr to look for her and I wunt
yon to mind th ] cibin and the child. The
little ono la a sound nlcoporand the storm
will prosv no worso. "
Taking down hla lillo ho rp3ncd the
door and dashed out into the storm , and
I was left alone. For houra there waa no
break in the fury of tbo storm. For hours
the child slept peacefully through all the
turmoil.
When mornlug cimo the sky was
clear , tbo mm bright , and the birds saug
joyously. The colored man who hatl
taken ciro of my horao coon appeared ,
and after a bite ta oit I started down the
road In hopes to meet my boat returning
with his wife. A mile and a half from
the cabin I found thsm both. Whether
aho had baen otruok down by a 11 ish or
her life beaten out by the storm I conld
not sty. Shu lay beside a largo rock at
the roadside. In the awful darkness ho
had found her , but oho wss dead. lie
lay beside her , ono arm partly covering
her face , and la the centar of her fore-
brad was a blue black hole , from which
the blood olowly oczd Ho had ehot
lilrasalf bssido Mary's dead body.
Tompornnco Matters.
A largo audience gathered In the
Saunders streetPresbytorun church Sun-
night to listen to Hon. T. B , Dcmareo ,
the eloquent temperance apostle of Ken
tucky. The music was very bsautifully
rendered by a quartette composed of
Miseos Alllo and Grace Pratt , Dr. S. K.
Spaldiug and Mr. WhlttleeoyMtsa Lottie
Phelps presiding at the organ.
Rev. F. S. Blayncy , pastor , engaged In
ecrlrjtura reading and prayer and with a
few vigorous words for the temperance
causa , ho Introduced the speaker. The
lecture was full cf argument , facts ,
pathos , story and a dash of humor. Hla
eulogy upon the Christian women , typi
fied by that work of art , "Simply to the
cross I cling , " In which a woman clinging
to the cross with ono hand Is reaching
down with the other to sivo a drowning
man , So the Christian women , and also
other temperance societies are clinging
to the ernes with ono hand and reaching
to save tbo fallen with the other. God
bless , the W. 0. T. U.
His arguments for prohibition were
clinched with irresistible logic. Mr.
Demareo will to-night organize a lodge of
Good Templars In the same church ,
which will bo known oo the North Omaha
Good Templar lodge. All ere cordially
Invited.
Tlio IMnttHiiioiitu Snooting.
Mr. D. H. Wheeler , who came up
from Plattsmcuth yesterday says that
ho thlnki that City Editor Outright , of
the Journal , who WAS shot in Plaits-
month , Sunday , has hardly boot cor
rectly represented in the dispatch bearing
upon the subject. Ho eays that ho was
reliably informed that Mr. Marshall , who
lid the ahootlng , came in upon Outright
yesterday and Immeiiatoly accused Oat-
igbt of trying to blackmail hii family ,
this Mr. Catright emphatically denied ,
Thereupon Marshal ) , it is ssld , without
living him a chance to make an ozplana-
ion , or without asking him for one ,
Irew his revolver and fired.
The provocation of the shooting , ao
uplalncd In the dispatches , wan a highly
ensatlonal article which refloated upon
he character of a Mrs , Marshall , tbo
laughter of John Marshall , a banker of
Jnloavlllo , Mo. , who wpto in Plattsmouth
omo time since on their way to Denver.
Pho story told by Marshall ia dillVrent
rom that of Outright and his friends , in
hat ho claims that Outright refused to
[ like a correction , and added Insult to
ojury by accusing him ( Marshall ) of
omlng to Plattamouth to hath up the
candal.
