WHY Kii.ooitn oiunrrnn.
It leaked out to-day bow Ktlgore of Texas
wns induced to withdraw his objection to the
consideration of the Sheridan bill In the
house last week. It seems that he sits next
to Congressman MUcDonald of Minnesota
nnd the two uro great friends. After some
of thro epublican members had failed to se
cure the withdrawal of ICilgorc's objection by
bulldozing tactics nnd cajoling had been tried
in vain by his democratic associates , Mac
Donald said : "Kilgoro , I think it is darn
mean that you nro allowing that remark
which Sheridan made to influence you in a
matter of this kind. "
"I don't understand what "
you mean , re
plied the Texan.
"Well , I mean when Sheridan expressed
his views of Texas he was probably laboring
under the difficulty which he meti'i an Indian
eammitgn down there. "
"What expression do you refer tol" said
Vilgore.
' Why , you know , " replied Mac Donald ,
"That ho once said if ho owned hell and
Texas ho would rent out Texas and live in
hell. "
This wns too much for the Toxnn , Ho
laughed heartily and said : "Well , I will
pull out. "
Ho explained that his objection was not to
Sheridan , but to this species of legislation ,
nnd then ho withdrew from further oppo-
ultlon and tbo bill passed.

Her. Luther , In connection with his charge

school house eight miles southeast of Craig ,
with a small but earnest congregation of
Methodists. Some time during January or
February he was holding meeting at this
school house and remained all night with Mr.
Addison Farnsworth , one of his members.
Farnsworth loft his pocketbooit contnlng $115
In his pantaloons pocket In the room that the
theologian occupied during the night. The
next day Mr. Farnsworth found his pocketbook -
book but no money. His suspicions rested
on the divine , and at one of the meetings
Mr. Farnsworth alluded to the fact publicly ,
In a way that left the Impression that the
reverend had taken the money. Rov. Luther
maintained his Innocence and demanded a
retraction. The wrangle broke up the meet
ings and religion at that place came tea
a standstill and there have been no meetings
since. A. P. Job , It Is claimed , followed the
minister to his home at Herman , to see If ho
spent the money. Mr. Farnsworth aftcr-
\vnrds found his money , but in a different
place , ho claims. Ho thereupon went to Rov.
Luther witli an apology. The. reverend de
manded of him to piaco his retraction on
record In the county clerk's olllce , so that if
the charges ever came before the conference
against him he could vindicate himself of the
charges by the retraction record oxhonerat-
Ing him. This Fnrnswortfi refused to do.

preached at Crac and all the brethren speak
In the highest terms of his honesty and his

Walrath was represented by F. B. Donls-
thorpe , of this place , an attorney
of well known ability , through whoso
management and presentation of the case
the court made the following findings-
"That defendant gave the liquor to the pur-
tics us alleged in the information , but with
out in any way being intended ns a sale ; or
for any gain in any manner whatever , nnd
under section 11 of chapter 50
the court finds as a mutter of law that
the section only refers to the giving away of
liquors in the sense and meaning of giving
uwuy the same to evudo the license required
by law and for some gain. Therefore the
court finds that the information charges 110
crime under section 11 and defendant is
discharged. " Upon tlm discharge of the ac
cused , the court house being full , loud dem
onstrations of approval were made , though

ST. LOUIH , Juno 8. The Hell Telephone
company threatens to quit business in St.

reducing the annual rental of telephones
from f 100 to * 50. Already they have taken
out many phones , and Commissioner Turner
proposes to follow the letter and spirit of
Mayor Francis' recent order to take down
thu wires and cut down the jwles. The Hell
company , while assuring the company that
they will go out of business , are preparing to
resist thu removal of the wires and poles , as
they received the right to establish the ser-

Holden of the Cleveland Plaliidenlcr , tlio
Washington correspondents stopped over in
Columbus this morning to call on Judge
Thurinnn , after which they dined at'tho
Neil house. They were escorted In open car
riages by a band and the Thurman club
through the principal streets of the city to
the Judge's residence. As his house was
undergoing repairs the reception was held In
the homo of his son adjoining. Throe ot the
Judge's grandsons were celebrating In the
yard with n red tablecloth tacked to n clothes
pole , when tlio ex-senator walked slowly up
thu porch nnd In a few moments wns shaking
hands with his guests. From reports nt St.
Louis I expected to find a physical wreck , or
at least a bent ami bowed-down old man.
While Thurman Is not strong on his legs ,
owing to the effects of rheumatism , bis form
Is as nearly erect , his cyo as clear , his mind
ns active and his voice ns strong ns when ho
led tbo hosts of democracy in the senate.
His beard and hair nro whiter nnd his face
moro pallid , nnd these , with n hesitating
walk , are nil the evidences of age discerna-
blo. His speech in reply to the remarks of
Major Carson of the Philadelphia Ledger
was In the happlcsi vein. His request that
the correspondents should compare his vigor
with that of John L. Sullivan , nnd write just
such a speech for him us they chose , was
greatly appreciated. Judge Thurman's ap
pearance belles the reports of decrepitude ,
and he is threatening to take the stump and
do some stalwart work on behalf of the
ticket.

Coi.uMiirs , Juno 8. The Uricc train carryIng -
Ing the Ohio delegation on its return from
St. Louis arrived here this afternoon. The
delegation marched to the residence of Judge
Thurman. After three cheers for Cleveland
and Thurman , Judge Thurmau spoke as
follows :
"I understand that many people say I am
too old to run for vice-president. Why , I
feel about ten years younger nt the
least calculation. You know , gentlemen of
the Ohio delegation , that when you were
kind enough to call on mo before you went to
St. Liuls , I told you I did not want the nom
ination. Gentlemen I do not undertake to
speak for the party or say whether you have
done wisely or not. but I do speak for myself
and say that you have done fairly and hon
orably and uprightly by mo. I thnnkyou for
what you have done , and whether I shall bo
successful or not , there's ono thing of which
I cannot be deprived , and that is the gratifi
cation of knowing that 1 have the good will
of the people of my state and of tbo United
States. There scarcely ever happened In
the history of the world a sublimcr
spectacle than the ronomiuntion of Grover
Cleveland by the unanimous voice of the
convention. The people of the United States
love a brave man , and Cleveland is n bravo
innn ; they love an honest man , and Goil
knows ho Is an honest man ; they love ftlnan
of good sound judgment , and I don't know
any man of sounder judgment than his. They
love a man who stands up for the people and
for principle , and does not fear to take the
consequences , and such a man is Grover
Cleveland. Now , I thank you and will bid
you good night. "
A Flower That Blooms With Joy.
CHICAGO , June 8. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Bui : . ] Russell P. Flower , Chairman
Harnum and Patrick ICelly were resting
themselves at the Pacific to-day on their re
turn from St. Louis. To a reporter who
called Mr. Flower was very affable. "The
nomination of Allen G. Thurman , " ho said ,
"is the strongest that could possibly have
been made. The selection of the Old Roman
will silence every man in the democratic
party that has had the slightest grievance
against the administration for what has been
termed an unfair distribution of patronage ,
and any man who was at all sour nt Cleve
land will whoop It up for him now that
Thurman is his running mate. The outlook !
No ticket the republicans can possibly put
up can defeat tariff reform. Cleveland's
vote in Now York will bo increased and
Thurman will bring to the ticket the entire
democracy. The Pacific coast is particularly
grateful to Thurmun for his stand on the
Chinese- question , and will surely give him a
solid majority. "
Just. So ! Mr. Ciirtln.
NEW YOIIK , Juno 8. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : Bin. : ] George William Curtis , presi
dent of the National Civil Servio Reform
league , said : "Tho action of the convention
is precisely what I had anticipated. "
"How will the civil service reform league
regard the platform i"
"It was exactly what was to have
been expected. The president in his
message , which is virtually the platform ,
omitted all allusion to reform. The silence
of the platform upon the subject of civil
service reform can therefore bo no surprise
to the friends of civil service reform. "
"Will the civil service refonn league sup
port Mr. Cleveland I"
"Undoubtedly some of them will oppose -
pose him on the ground that to vote for him
would be , in their Judgment , a con
donation of his coine upon the subject.
Othcrshowevcrwho hold that with whatever
drawbacks and disappointments the cause
of reform has practically advanced under
Cleveland , and those who are strongly inter
ested In tariff reform will undoubtedly sup
port him warmly as the best practical alter
native. "
A Candid Opinion.
INDIAN-ATOMS , Juno 8. [ Special Telegram

was not at all surprised thut Thurman was
nominated. Ho had known for two days
that such a result wus inevitable. Ho did not
feel badly over it. Ho knew that ho would
have been nominated without contest hud It
not been for the Thurman boom snnniring
up , Ho was now prepared to work like a
beaver for the ticket , Cleveland and Tliur-
man , and had every hope of success for it In
thu state this fall , Ho candidly thought
Thurmun's name added strength to the
ticket.

nation , say that It is all in the direction of
free trade , and comments are consequently

The Star says , of the proceedings at St.

llAi.TiMoiu : , Juno S. The select commlttco

vestigate the operations of the civil service ,
met hero to-day. The sub-committee present
consisted of Senators Halo ( chairman ) , Chase
nnd Blackburn. A score or more of the Civil
Service Reform nssociationof Maryland were
present.
Charles J. Bonaparte , chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the association , testified
that n number of federal ofllelrils were known
to hiivo been engaged In active partisan work
nt the primaries. He spoke of the bad char
acters berne by some of the o officials , es
pecially mentioning Morris Thomas , Eugene
lllgglnft , J. J. Million and 1. Freeman Basin.
Ho said that these men bad had characters
and reputations. Senator Blackburn nked
whether these gentlemen had committed any
definite net that the witness could mention
which would substantiate the assertion
that they were men of bad characters.
Bonaparte replied that his Idea of a man of
bad character was one concerning whom the
general's report spoke unfavorably.
John Qulnii testified that ho Is clerk to the
holler and steamboat Inspectors , and his
duties are to make out permit bills , etc. , for
steamboat captains. Senator Halo asked the
witness to write out a permit such as ho
issues from the Inspector s ofllec. The wit
ness replied that he Is not much of n scholar ,
and that his son did that sort of work for
him. He was urged again , but declined to
write a permit. The witness acknowledged
tnat he had not done a single stroke of the
clerical work of the office since his appoint
ment. His salary Is $1,200 n year , out of
which he pays for his son's board and cloth
ing , amounting perhaps to $12 or $15 n week.

Two CascH of DOR Bites Kft'octunlly
Cured In Chicago.
CHICAGO , Juuo S. [ Special Telegram to
Tins BKH.J For the past mouth or more
there has been a great demand for two
"miidstoncs" in the possession of residents
of this city. Five cases of dog bites linvo
been treated within three weeks , nnd all the
patients arc doing well. The matter Is.ex-
clting u great deal of discussion again. Sev
eral physicians pooh-pooh the idea that there
is any such thing as a mndstono , or that
there Is any ofllcacy in the stones that have
been used , claiming the remedy exists wholly
In imagination. Yet the fact remains that
two of such stones are really In existence
and are devoutly trusted by those who have
seen them used. The latest of the cases
treated in tins vicinity was Mr. Fred McCul-
lough , who was bitten Monday by a rabid
dog. The stone was applied that night nnd
adhered to the wound until Tuesday morn-
inir , being taken off and boiled in milk sev
eral times to remove the supposed poison
from it. The worst case that has been treated
recently was the little daughter of W. B.
Lucko of Evanston , 111. , who was bitten by a
mad dog five days before the stone was ap
plied. The attending physician said erysip
elas had set in. The hand had turned black
and was swollen out of shape. She was very
feverish and had become sick. A messenger
was sent for one of the madstones. After
four days nnd nights the child was pro
nounced well. The erysipelas , blackness ,
swelling and fever had disappeared , and the
child was ns well as she ever hud been.

Prince Roland Bonaparte and "Buffalo Bill"
on the card it is not surprising that the at-
tenduncu uUlnst evening's meeting of the in
ternational congress of anthropology was
the largest of the week. "Buffalo Bill"
was not present , but it was understood that
purely scientific studies into the ethnology of
the North American-Indian on Sta'.en Island
kept him away. Wilson McDonald , the
sculptor , created a diversion and provoked
laughter by frankly stating bis belief that
many of the pitpars that had been read were
utterly valueless. Ho said the great problem
was how to make young people marry prop
erly. "There ought to bo a human herd
book , " said he ; "we have improved horses
and cattle until an animal will sell for $40-
C'O ; ) , Wo have improved dogs and hogs so
that they can play euchre and poker as well
as any of you. Now , what are you going to
do with the great human race ( " The dele
gates laughed and gave it up. Prince Bona
parte's farewell speech closes the congress.

the postponed game of yesterday to-day ami
the latter won through the former's inability
to solve Staley's curves. Several times a hit
would have yielded runs for St. P.uil but it
was not forthcoming , Stalcy being remark
ably effective at critical points. The work of
tbo St. Paul battery was decidedly poor.
While Tuekcrman was not hit hard , thcro
was enough wild pitches and passed balls to
lose an ordinary game , and once a St. Louis

but it should have'been won by the Maroons.
They nre much better players , nnd bad.
judgment is the chief reason for the defeat
The Milwuukccs did all they could nnd the
Maroons did not do nil they might have done.
Chance after chance to win the gome was al
lowed to slip by , and of the seven men loft
on bases , nt least four could have been
brought homo with proper Judgment In
coaching. The Maroons hit Stephens oftencr
than the visitors hit Coughlln , but somehow
the hitting did not provo very effective. Tlio
fielding wns certainly creditable on the part
of the .Maroons. They have only ono error
in the column and that is n base on balls. It
will , therefore , be seen they played n perfect
jjnmo in the field. Weakness at bnt Is , there
