[ Special Cor- rc | ) on Jpnco of the HCB. ] Tim sensation ot the xvcok In loglHlntlvo circle' ' ? is tliu position the govurnor 1ms taken on the rnllro.ul ques tion. For eighteen years prior to bolntf elected governor ho represented L'nyctto county in the sluto suimto. Ho was a mem ber of that body when the old granger luxv XVU3 otmeted , and vigorously opposed its p.is- Bnge. IIo ntso wonted urdontly for its re peal in 187d. Kvor slnco ho hai been known an ( i llrm niul uncompromising friend of the railways and was materially assisted by them In obtaining the nomination over Lieutenant Governor Hull two years ago. The first tus- Bio with the corporations in which the gov ernor was onxaged was onlya trilling matter , but It served as an untiring wodgo. In com paring the accounts of the asylum for fcublo minded at Gloouwood and of the institution for the duaf und dumb at Council liluffs the governor discovered that the Chicago Hurllngton < & Qulney rail road was charging thn state Sl.hO per ton for coal from the Cleveland mines to Ql uii wood , a distance of I'M miles , nnd only $1.'J5 per ton from the same mines to Council Hlufts , 11 distance of lf > miles. This , the governor held , was n pl.iin violation of the statute which prohibited charging moro < or u short haul than for n long one , and he Called the attention of the oIllcUls of the "Q" to the matter and requested that it bo cor rected. Ho expected , of rour.so , tliat the rate to Glenwood wouhl bo reduced to correspond with the rate to the lllutTs , but , to his utter ustoni.-thment , the "Q" oftlcials replied in a surly manner and cqualbcd the charges not by reducing the rate to Glenwood , as the governor expected but by increasing the rate to Council HlulTtt. Hut the governor was not to bo trilled with. Ho at once called the at tention of the railroad commissioners to the matter and presented the case for the state in person. Ho was vigorously opposed by Tom Potter , the manager of the "Q , " and in the f'ourso of the discussion , being nettled at Pot- tor's apparent ingratitude for past Hcrvieos , ho told souio very plain truths about railroad management in general and the "Q" in "particular. The result of the contest was a victory for the governor , the commissioners reducing the rate on coal to Glonwood to S1.-15 per ton. HiiH'o that time the governor has been on "speaking terms" only with the managers of the lending railroads , and the whole jxnvcr of the corporations was used in the late election to defeat him nnd elect Anderson , the demo cratic nominee , who for many years has been nn attorney for the Hock Island. This fnet was kept quiet during the campaign by the corporation organs , but the result of the elec tion nhowed that , notwithstanding the power ful supitort of the Farmers' alliance and Anti-Monopoly league , Governor Larrabeo ran behind his ticket in many places , and was only elected by less than two thousand ma jority over the combined opposition , when thirty or forty thousand was confidently ex pected. Influenced by these causes nnd the growing sentiment among the people in favor of moro stringent railroad regulation , the governor turns a complete somersault on this question und comes out squarely in favor of the most extreme legislation demanded by the Anti-Monopoly league and the Farmers' alliance. In his message ho comes out strongly in favor of a 3 cent pas- mmgor rnto nnd declares that the frco pass system should bo torn out , rpot and branch. IIo also eulogizes the old granger law , which ho helped to repcaland de clares that with some modifications it should bo ro-etmtcd by the present legislature. IIo nlso mattes the novel suggestion that railroads Hbquld bo declared public highways , and their officers sworn to support the constitu tion of the United States. In his inaugural address Saturday ho went still further nnd asserted that railroad rates are far too high in Iowa and bear no relation to the costof the service rendered , nnd that railroad managers were carrying on n system of brigandage in Iowa not unlike that practiced by ancient Grecian pirates. There was n general mur mur of dissent amonc a few corporation lob byists , but the great body of both houses , as well as of these in attendance at the inaug ural , indorsed the governor's position on this question. Tiin SEX xTousnir. The great Hepburn boom for senator com pletely flattened out. Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts mndo by the Register and a strong lobby of railroad lawyers , ho at no time during the canvas developed any posi tive btrcngth. The opposition to Senator Wilson was still moro liostiloto Hepburn , nnd under no circum stances would they have supported him. Ho is regarded by many as the John M. Thurs- ton of Iowa politics , and , though an able man , his railroad record is so objectionable that no one in sympathy with the present spirit of the people will support him. Even Senator Wilson , whoso record on the railroad ques tion is somewhat checkered , owes his election to the fact that the anti-monopolists feared to undertake too much. Ono of the surprising things connected with the organisation of the legislature was the failure of the radical prohibitionists to draw the party line on prohibition. An effort xviiH made to exclude Cummins of Polk , who was elected on the democratic ticket as nn anti-prohibitionist , although professing to bo n republican , but it failed ignoininously , the members refusing to make prohibition alone the test of party fealty. SM.M.I , (103SI1' . Senator Young , of Cnss , hns already intro duced u bill to reduce passenger faro to ii cents per mile , and compel railronds to sell 1XX , ( ) milo tickets for * 1S. Senator Sweeney , who is chairman of the railroad committee , ban Introduced a bill sup plementary to the iuter-stato commerce act , prohibiting the charging of 111010 for a long haul than a shore one , Even the senators who called all nnti-inonopollsts cranks a few years ago uro now talking of needed railroad legislation. It Is very doubtful If any considerable num- lier of republican senators will antagonize the governor in the decided stand ho has taken on the railroad question , though they will bo urged to do so by a number of strong nnd able papers nnd not a few politicians. The people of the capital city of Iowa were very favorably impressed by the visit of Gov ernor Thayer and staff. The remarks of the governor at the recaption given by the liousn of representatives were well received and Ills allusion to the heroism displayed by Iowa Eohtlors in the Hold was loudly applauded. Among the Nebraska vlsltois piv.sent were noticed the notorious Brail Slaughter , who spent some time in the company of Clerk Knlp , of thu house. The senate to-day seated Senator Cabsatt , of the fifteenth district , by an vote unani mous vote , and this probably cuds the con test. test.Tho The senate refusing to concur in the house resolution to dispense with visiting commit tees. an adjournment will bo taken over frdm thn IStli to tho'jad to allow these committees to do their work. The democrats have do- olinod to inaku any nominations for senator , hoping to bo able to form some combinntioi to defeat Wilson , but their efforts will bo fu tile. Even Schiiccker , of Humboldt , am Pnrkhurst , of O'Brien , olfctcd. as tndepcml ents , will vote for Wilson. Slorson , of Worth is the only independent who will not do s > o und he declined to go Into thu caucus. The severe bliirnrd and the absence of the convenient pasteboards will compel nearly id of the members of both houses to remain i : the city over Sunday. The Ih-gt Installment of railway { .nsKci came In on Thursday in the shape of annual ! from the Milwaukee. Some of tUoiu wen returned at once and those that worn re tallied wore handed around as curiosities am kept only us souvonlrh of a departing custom Such is the state of public sentiment hen that few would dare to use them oven if si iucliuod.

Director. llXi.TiMoiu : , Md. , Jan. -Speelal { Telegram - gram to Iho Hun. ] When Senator Gorman had Governor Lloyd appoint Mm a state director in the Haltlmoro & Ohio railroad about two months ago It wus predicted that thojjoss of the Mainland political ring would sorno day wield equally us much Influence In the great railroad corporation ns ho does in the politics of the stnte. IIo no sooner becnino a Btnto director than ho took control of nil other city and state directors. Garrctt used to control these directors nnd could always count on 42,000 shares of state nnd city to insure him a majority. Gorman concluded to change the order ofthings. . He knew that with these 4'i,000 shares of stock nt his com mand , ho would hold the balance of power nnd could ehcekmnto any move ho pleased. When John 1C. Cowcn , chief counsellor < f the company , and Gorman's bitterest political enemy , had completed , for the benefit of the company , negotiations with the Uroxol-Mor- gan syndicate to , save the railroad from a threatening financial crisis , Gorman stepped In as his antagonist nnd at a meeting in December , when terms with the sydlcato were ratified and a blanket mortgage to the syndicate agreed upon , Senator Gorman bit terly opposed the several features of the agreement nnd created n scene in the directors' meeting such as hud not been witnessed in that quiet body for years. IIo at once as sumed the role of "kicker" and ho has con tinued to block the syndicate's plans ever since. Tills meeting ended the contest over the $ .1,000,000 proposition of the syndicate. An attempt wns made to have the stock holders authorise the creation of the pro posed & 3UOOOOJ , issue Of third preferred 0 per cent stock. It was , of course , a failure. Only Heverdy Johnson , the chairman , and Andrew Anderson , the secretary ; attended the meeting. When the meeting WHS de clared adjourned without nny stock having been voted , jycnntor Gorman arrived from Washington and had a conference with T. Harrison Garrctt , who at the first day's meeting voted all tlic Garrctt nnd John Hop kins'cstnto holdings for the issue of stock. Mr. Gnrrett declined to say whether an other meeting would bo held , but It is re ported that the 'syndicate will shortly call a special meeting of stockholders , when the latter will bo informed that the syndicate does not propose to bo trilled with by Sena tor Gorman or any one else. A IIUSHAXIVS ItEVENCK. Ho Puts Arnonlu In tlio Water nt 1Iln Wife's Hoarding House. CHATTANOOGA , Tenn. , Jan. IB. [ Special Telegram to the Ur.B. ] A case of wholesale poisoning wns ruixjrted to the chief o'f police last night from the eastern portion of the city nnd the prospects arp now for a number of deaths , ono having already occurred. Hattie Llghtfoot keeps n , boarding house near the Uoane steel mill nnd Fayerweathor tannery. Hattie is what is called n grass widow , she and her husband Frank having recently separated , and she has been keeping n boarding house to support hcrsolf and daughter. Her husband has been trying to get her to live with him again and a few days ago told her that if she did riot take him back ho wouhl "do" her. She has been living in constant dread ever since. Yesterday at din ner Henry Vaughn , John Hrooks , Jennie Muck , Annie Lightfoot uud two children wore nttho table , and immediately after din ner everybody who ate biscuits or dr.ink coffee became violently ill. A physician was quickly summoned and found the entire party suffering from nre.cnic.il poison. Uy a vigor ous use of the stomnch pumps and other miti- dotes Jennie Mnek and Annie Lightfoot were relieved , but Henry Vaughn died before night and Brooks is in a very critical condition. An examination of the coffee and n barrel of water from which the water was taken to make the coffee , dUcloscd the presence of irscnic in sufficient quantity to have poisoned ho entire neighborhood. No arrests have ; et been effected. I1NA1 ItlUTH. A Largely Attended aicotiiiR of the Order'Held In Chicago. Ciuc.vno , Jan. 15.

CIIICACO , Jan. 15. W. J. Gallagher , who was concerned in the notorious ballot box frauds , which nearly deprived General Logan of his scat in the senate and for which Joseph C. Mackin is still in the penitentiary , was in Chicago to-ciay awaiting the legal prc- liminarlps necessary to transfer him from his prison cell at Joliet to another at Philadel phia. Gallagher's sentence at Joliet expired last evening. He wns arrested on the threshold upon an indictment against him charging that eiglit .years ago ho forged the name of Abraham Thompson , n member of the city council of Philadelphia , to a note for a small amount. He will have a habeas corpus hearing to-morrow before Judge Shep herd , and unless some technicality intervenes will then probably start at oueo for Phila delphia. HBMAHKAliLK ACCIDENT. The I'ullmnii VcKtibulo Crashing Into a KroiKlit and Ycl Nobody Injured. A Pittsburgh special of last. Friday , January la , says : The Pullman vestibule limited train east , of the Fort Wayne toad , met with its flrht aecldentthis morning on the Pittsburg , Fort Wayne & Chicago railway , nonr Hoehes- te.r , Heaver county. Shortly before T o'clock the limited c-amo thundering along in the vicinity of Hoclicster and down the hcavi grade Just west of Kocbustei' . The mornini ( wa-j very foggy , nnd it. was almost impossi ble to see anything moro than u few feet dis tant. The train was running at the rate ol i.bout foity miles an hour until it reaehec the Rochester yard , when the cngineei slackened up a little , and It casao tlirougl t he yard at about n speed of thirty miles nn liour. The fog > vns e > o dcnso that the en gineer could not see the dangrer signal , am : went ou the other block. Jn a mumenl ho heard' u tram coming to ward him , but thought it was 01 another track until it was within less thai thirty feet of him. Ho then discovered t < his horror that it was a freight train ou UK winiu track. Ho immediately put on the uii brake , i cversod the lever and pulled opct the engine whistle. When ho saw that In was only n few feet distance from the ap preaching freight engine Jio yelled to th < ilrunuin to Jump for his life , and ho followei suit , Just aa both engines came together will n terrible crash. The engineer of the freigh train , in the meantime , had discovered thn there was nnuther train en the tuimn track uud , us his train wns going at n very s > lov rate , ho utmost succeeded In Mopping hi train bcforo tins limited c.uno up to it. Thi fireman of the freight 'jumped to save him self , Vu'- thectigluciu * stood biruvcly to hi post , uud Wlilio It U .said ho was" hurt ; It I thought that his Injuries arc only , slight , liotli engines , were plied in n heap oh the traek. Iho tenders of each being completely demolished.- The passengers on the limited , about eighty in number , were mostly nil nslccp when the accident Occurred. With the first Jnr , however - over , nil were out of their berths nnd into the renter of the car. P.inic-strickoniiicn nnd von . "hod 11 nnd fro like mad. nnd had r " i Mte prompt action Of the col- ' -.1 , in speedily Informed all that llio d.itvi r wu < < past , some ono would donbt- levUmvobivu tnunplcd upon and Injured in the general rush to escape from the train. Both engines were completely wrecked , as were also two freight cars. The cars of the limited , too , had como out of the wreck very little the worse for the accident. Thu Esper- an/a , a composite- smoking nnd baggage car , which was Immediately behind the engine , was the. only ono in any way smashed. It was crushed In nt ono end nnd everything within It demolished. In the dining c-nr the dishes which had been placed HJKIII the table for breakfast were smashed to atoms. The train wus over two l otirs late arriving at the union station , and It brought No. U with it. The limited seemed to have been badly dam aged. The train ran from Ilochester to the city all right , but when It arrived hero nil the brakes had to bo fixed , nnd it took over nn hour to muko the repairs. Ono of thobrnkenien of the train , when speaking of the matter this morning , said : "I have been railroading for years , but I have never been In such a lucky cscapo bcforo. " Frank Lester , a prominent business man from Chicago , who was in the smoking carat the time , in speaking of the affair at the sta tion this mo'rnlag said : "It was the most remarkable escape I have ever heard of. Think of u train running Into another at the rate of thirty miles nn hour mid no ono so- rirtusly Injured. I hnd just gotten up a short time before the accident. I was sitting smoking when the crash camo. It startled mo so much that for u time I was almost spell-bound. When I got out on the traek I saw ono engine piled on the other , and four cars of the freight train completely wrecked. I think both engineers deserve credit for their efforts to avert Iho accident. " Elected PrcHldciit. CHICAGO , Jan. 15. Uobcrt Swallow , ono of thomostultrasocialists in the city , was to-day elected president of the trades assembly which hns been regarded as the only general labor organisation not dominated by anar chists or socialists. Swallow's opponent was Mark S. Crawford , who has served as presi dent several terms. The vote was 10J to 81. AMUSEMENTS. An Excellent Presentation of "Unser Doctor" Last Nifht. Last night llaureis & Puls' German com edy company appeared at Hoyd's in "Unser Doctor , " nn interesting melo drama by Messrs. Treptow and Hermann. The size of the audience , considering the extreme cold of the evening , wns un ns-suranco to the man agement that its efforts , to keep uliVo and give excellent representation to the German drama in this city are warmly appreciated. The play in the hands of indifferent nctors would have been difficult to si t through , not bectiuso of any glaring defects in its con struction , but because- - its great length. It was not until 11 : 'M o'clock that the last drop fell , and up to that time the audience remained almost unbroken. They were kept in almost constant laughter , the exception being when the grief of the father , over the wayward deceit of his son , happily , however , concealed from the mother , ultmwt led to tears. Between these two conflicting emo tions there was u alternation , giving excel lent opportunity for the display of comedy nnd serious work. Mr. nnd Mrs.Uaunors were the stars of the evening , the burden of the playing being carried by Wicm. Their noting wns admirable and they were deservedly np- ireciated. Mr. Eiseman had n rather grace- ess character , but ho played it well with a great deal of dash and , 'ivncity. Miss Koomcr gave additional iroof of adaptability for comedy and was greatly appreciated. Mr. Kraft , as the of fending son , played with care nnd intelli gence , doing some of the best work that hns been credited to him since his arrival hero. Mr. Koch and Mr. Lindcmann , ns dancing master and assistant , aided n great deal in the comedy parts , not less with their fine makeups than with their acting. Mr. Puls made ono of the greatest hits of the evening in Hummel. Mrs. Puls-Ahl supplied the comedy feature of the last act as an appren tice und her work provoked hearty applause. Mrs. Llndemann played with her usual care , making llocschcn an entertaining character. Barring a few evidences of forgetfnlncss of lines , there was nothing to injure thn per formance. Inspector Dimcnn'H To the Editor of the BEK : Having received instructions from the board of health to examine all the plumbing in thcfcity ; I would like to make a few suggestions : Let everyone ono sco if they can not themselves detect anything wrong. Look at top of ventilation pipe where it comes out of roof and see if it is free from ice and snow ; examine all traps nud sec that there is u separate pipe extend ing from the top of trap to the roof ; while doing this notice if any fixtures are leaky nnd that all safe wastes jire open and that they do not discharge into soil pipe direct. Carefully examine the waste pipe from ice chests nnd see that they do not connect wjth the sewer direct. Bo sura that no greasy matter is lying un der sinks , thnt decayed vegetable matter is not lying in cellars , that garbage barrels arc often and nine-tenths of tlio emptied , - com plaints of sewer gas will cense. The remaining one-tenth please leave no tice nt the office of the inspector of plumbing , who will cheerfully respond to nil calls nut carefully examine any work that comes un der his supervision. It might bo well to add that most of the faulty plumbing is duo to the fact that too many people want a STilM ) Job done for iSOO. Respectfully , UOIIT. U. DUNCAN , Inspector of Plumbing.

Noxv York World : Miss Annie Ouk- loy has juat cuinu homo from Europe after a prosperous nml triutnphiuil son- oil xvith liutltilo Dili , in xx'ho.so Wild West shoxx' she xx'as one of tlio chief tit- motions. "IJoxv did I like England ? " she said , epcatiiif ? the roporlcr'squcry. "First- : -ato , iiideed , exeojit the climate. I am nt prejont under a phpsician's care , tlio osult of slcopliiff bonpatli n tent amoiitf British fogs and moisture. I did tlio muno thing liero xx-itliout any bad oll'oct "or a couple of years previously. 15ut Llion , you knoxx' , there is only ono United "tales and to mo it isGod'soxvn country. i\ . , the same time , I very much like the people I met abroad , especially xvhat , hey call tlio upjwr classes. " "If that is publishco you AX'ill be sus- ) ooted of xveakoni'ng in your allegiance .o our republican simplicity and equal ly ? " "Oh , no ! I speak merely of the people ple I mot and xx-ho xx-ore extremely kind ind considerate to me. The aristocrats that I xx-as introduced to tire the kind that indulge in xx'holewamo outdoor sports , and there is no pompous pre tense ot superiority about them. 'J'hoy : ire alTablc , not a bit stuck up , and you \\-ould bo bin-prised at the quiet , sensible dresses worn by the latties. At all ox-puts , they treated mo delightfully. I suppose it XTtis because a crack shot in petticoats \\-as a nox'olty and a curiosity to them. " "You mei some of the croxvnod heads , did you not ? " "Jt xx-as in Berlin that you mot him , was it not ? " ' 'Yes , I gave an exhibition there on November 18 last. It was a private per formance before the members of the Berlin Union club and their guests. They pbid mo 1,000 marks for it. And , by the xvay , they printed the pro- _ , rammo in English as 'sho' is not spelled in the dictionary. Hero is a copy of it T have kept. It speaks of the "Jharlottenburg 'rtibocours , of 'pitgins , ' > f'two traps sprung at same tirins , ' of bracking three balls throxvn in air and sain tirms' und of shooting ath txvclf lit pidgings 25 yards rise 120 bor gun. ' What dp you think of that ? " "It inig'ht bo much xx-orso , " responded the experienced newspaper man , "but I'm surprised tlio c/ar did't invite you , o Russia to give some les-sons. " "Tlio cxar ejimo near getting me into trouble and into jail"said'Miss Oakley , with a merry laugh , "llisllussian maj esty , you may remember , vibited Berlin while wo xvere there , and the great street , Unter den Linden , xx-as closed to ill but privileged persons from ! ) in the morning until 5 in tlio evening as a pre caution for his safety. During this in terval I found myself on ono side of the prohibited avenue and my hotel on the other. I might have got around by a long circuit , but I didn't fce-1 like doing it. After being several times turned back I at last made a break through po lice and soldiers and dashed axvay like a colt , xvith several of them in hot pur suit. Ono of my few accomplishments is that I can rim like a deer. Across the street I rolled under an iron gate and spoiled my clothes , and the enraged guards wont plump against the gate before they c uld btop. Of course 1 laughed at their discom fiture , but-I tell-you that I was a bit scared \\-hon 'I ' remembered that I had a box of cartridges xvitli mo tlio xvholo timo. Why , if they had caught mo I should have been surely held as a nihil ist. By the by , I mustn't forgot fo add that Sunday was the day selected by the aristocrats' Berlin for my shooting match. I don't think Icould be induced to sign for any such date again. An other funny incident in Berlin was when a martial-looking individual ranged a lot of feecdy looking folloxx-s up against tlio fence and asked me to hire them. 'What for'baid I. 'To ap plaud , madame , ' baid lie. Tlio game didn't work , as I xx-anted no claque. " "Did you feel nervous at meeting thebo kings and princes ? " "Not a bit of it. Why should T ? When the Prince.and Princess of Wales visited my tent and I wasintroduced the groom , or equerry , or xvhatox'or ho xvas , motioned that the Prince \\-as llrst to bo recognized on account of his rank. 'It is ladies first in America , ' baid I , and I shook hands witli the Princess before greeting her hubbaiul. I guess it amazed them a little , but they didn't mind it and they were very bociable. The Duchess of Connaught came in ono day , announced , to see mo , and stayed about an hour looking at tlio guns and things. You'd think the lltinkoy would have fainted xx'ho found her there chat ting axvay xvith me. " "Did the change of climate affect your shooting ? " "I cannot biiy that it did , but it xvas some little time before I got my hand on their Blue KoOks. Thcbo pigeons are very strung , bxvift flyers. They are caught xvith nets in the morning along the const , and are usually shot at tlio btuno afternoon in order that they may not grow lazy or xveak in captivity. They cost $1 apiece when in good con dition ; if kept for any length of time they are sold cheaper. It takes money to b'hoot matches xvith birds of that kind. Mr. Charles Lancaster made a x\-ager that I could not drop thirty-five out of fifty in a trial on his private grounds. 1 took down forty-one and ho gave these two handsome guns in the case there. The London Gun club paid me 3-250 for an exhibition on iti grounds. Tlio tickets of admis sion xvoro * : - ' < > apiece , for they are an exclusive sot. My score on that occa sion xvould have xvon the challenge cup it I xvoro entitled to compete for it. " "You received numbcrof quite a pres ents , I perceive ? " "Oil , heaps of them. There nro txvo sots of bilvor , besides a solid silver tea pot and a retriever and ti St. Barnard dog and any quantity of medals and trinkets. Here are photos of my dogs. I have not brought them nor my horses homo yet. That silver-mounted Sortcli poxvilor-hors is " 00 year.old. . It xnis givnn to mo by CaiHrin Mortimer. The antique suuar boxvl nnd fciilt dish came from Captain Speedy , who traverses tlio Souden in the di&gui&o of a native. I had four oilers of marriage , including ono f.iom an alleged French count , who p.iomi&ed to committ fcuicido if I refused him. He xvas tlio uglieat monkey you over faaxv. Mr. Dnvib , doxx'n in Wales , Bent mo his photograph and wanted to wed mo straight axx'iiy , and xvould even coiibont to goxvcst with mo to my Ohio homo. I shot a bullet through tlio head of the photograph , and mailed it back xvith "llesnectfully declined" on it. O ! course allnly acquaintances k.noxx- ' that , 'I am Mra. Bullur in private life , al- thoughalxyays Anuio Otikloy on the mils. "Somo ot tlio London papers nlludod to you ns the adopted daughter of Sit ting Bull ? " ' "That is true. Tlio old chief hns a couple of wives and many children , but ho paid mo tlio compliment of saying that 1 resembled a favorite dauglilor xylio had died. IIo adopted mo Into the Sioux ( rilo. My Indian nanii ) is Wat- tanya Cilila , xvliieh means Little Sure Shot. Sitting Bull nnd myself keep up a correspondence , and I have llio pair of moccasins ho xvoro on the occasion of the Ouster mtibsacro. Goodness gra- ciousl you ought to have seen the In dians on the voyage going over. They thought at llrst tlio trip must bo some thing like crossing the Mississippi , but whoti they gel out on tlio rolling deep , oil , my ! " "Will 'you go to Europe again ? " "I expect to go in about a year as I have very Illation-ing offers from there. Meantime I xvill practice horseback shooting. I'm afraid I'm bragging too much of myself , yet I am the only lady rider who picks up her own hat from the from the ground at full gallop. I did that act abroad until my husband and Mr. Cody stopped it ns being too dangerous an act for a Hido-saltle. " Miss Oakley is a muscular yet girlish- looking woman of txvonty-ono , boloxv tlio medium height. Her hair drops tinfetted over her shoulders. She xvoro yesterday a gown of old-gold silk that fell in graceful folds , without any need less trimming or embellishment. Her husband and business inanngor , Mr. Butler , is also rn expert shot , but lie rarely touches a rillo noxvadays except to clean it for his xvife. AVIth tlm Liuk Telescope. San Francisco Examiner : The last heavy piece of tlio Lick telescope mount ing xvas raised and put in place last Saturday. Umisal pains were taken to prevent an accident , as a loss of 950,000 xvould have been entailed by tlio falling of tlio piece. It xvas hoped a short time since that the work xvould bo to far advanced as to try the big lens this evening , but it xvill bo out of tlic question to make the test bcforo next xvcek. Tlio third lens has arrived safely and fits the cell exactly. Alvan ( Jlark , who accompanied the lens , made some tests of the big lens , and feels assured that very little grind ing xvill bo necessary. Nothing could be done until the tube -was put up and star tests made and photographs taken. The observatory xvill in all probabililo bo completed and turned over to the regents of the university by the last of February or the first of March. Catarrh Cured Catarrh Is a very prevalent disease , with distressing and offciiiho symptoms. Hood's Baisaparllla gives ready relict and speedy cure , from the fact It .acts through the blood , nnd thus reaches cvciy part of the system. " I suffered u Illi catarrh fifteen years. Took Hood's SarsaparllU and I am not troulilcd any with catarrh , nnd my general health Is much better. " I. AV. LII.US , 1'ostal Clerk Chicago & St. Louis Itailroad. " I s"ulTcred with catarrh G or 8 years ; tried many wonderful cures , inhalers , etc. , spend ing nearly ono hundred dollars without benefit. I tiled Hood's Sarsaparllla , and was greatly Improved.
