In n little framn cottage nbout ono mile
Aotith of Albright , resides Ocorgo Williams
the prlncln.il victim in the shooting aftritj
that occuriud nt the residence of .lake Lewis
near th villn o of Ollmoro , Friday night. A
HRR reporter vliltcd the Williams housoholt
yesterday afternoon. As ho entered the
front room of the ostnbllslimcnt , : i nail
youth , of about seventeen summers , was
lying In bed. A query resulted in the Infer
mutlon that his name was Frank Williams , t
son of the victim Of the shooting , nnd tha
Jio wnsaflllctod with malarial fejver. In s
room to the rlijlit was confined OcorRi
Williams. IIo was dieting upon toast nnd t
cup of tea when the reporter entered
few intlmato friends were also in the room
ono of whom wus holding Williams up in boi !
While ho jmrtook of bis rations. Upon bolns
questioned concerning the nfTnlr , Williams
"Vou say that you nro for Tim linn. Well ,

As regards the manner In which the nfTuir
transpired , the version us given by Williams
Is of the siiino toner ns Was given by .fobri
Unglpy , which appeared in Tim HUB of Sat-
tirtlny evening. IIo stated thnt there was no
VBO of the authorities looking for McCarthy ,
bs ho would not pro ocuto him if arrested.
It was learned In South Omaha , however ,
Mint while McCarthy was still at Inrco ,

The condition of Williams is considered
to bo of thnt nnturo that should

Last night the members of St. Mary's

rather inadequate quarters. The old house
l > f worship was crowded to its utmost cup.ic-
Ity , nnd though the services or tbo pastor's
Uttorant-oa had no reference to the ohnneo
yet ItVas plainly porcoptlblo that the regu
lar worshipers were parting with their eild

n ted considerably by the rollcction tliat
henceforth their worship of pruUoand prayer

'It was not , therefore , necessary to explain
why ho did not take a bible text for bis re-

IIo la Now Bnltuvcit to be Pressing
Nortlnvnrel Through Africa.
NEW YOIIK , Nov. 25. A London cable to
the World says : An attache ) of the British
foreign ofllco said this afternoon that the
government had Just received information
which left very little doubt thnt the White
Pustin in the linhr-ol-Ghazol was none other
than Henry M. Stanley , the explorer , and
that Kmin Pasha wns with him ,
Information comes from Pero Lourdol , a
liomnn Catholic missionary , stationed In
Uganda , to the o fleet thnt In Juno last he
had received news which indicated that Stan
ley hud changed his original course ; that n
large force had been reported m the vicinity
of the WeJlomnkua , and that this had led to
the belief in Uganda that the explorer would
attempt not only tbo rescue of Eniin Pasha ,
but also tlio prisoners at Khartoum.
The reason thnt no news lias recently boon
received from Stanley Iiiinsolf is obvious
from the fact that all reports state that the
Arab slave denlors are making a determined
effort to establish a great Arab empire in
central Africa , and have drawn a cordon of
hostile chiefs across the country to the
south of Wadelal. As a result it is hardly
possible for a messenger to get through with
news. Hence there is no need of immediate
anxiety for Mr. Stanley's safety. The dlftl-
ctilt.Y still ronmins for him , however , of get
ting back again , but these who know Mr.
Stanley best seem to have faith in his capac
ity tf > surmount nil difficulties.
At a meeting of the Gorman Colon Inl com
pany hold in Uurlin yesterday , Lieutenant
Wissman insisted upon the iimncdiato relief
of Kmin Pasha at any cost , his remarks1
being in direct opposition to the aelvico Of
Dr. Peters , Who advocated the postponement
of a relief expedition. It was made evident
by the language of Lieutenant Wissman that
pure Immunity is by no means the object of
the so-called relief expedition , but nttho
rloso of the discussion the fiery and huninnu
lieutenant's resolution , afllrining thosonsuof
the mooting that immediate relief was nec
essary , was adopted ,

Dr.s Moixcs , In. , Nov. 2.5 [ Special to TUP.
HiiThe : : ] ofllcial returns of the election nro
now all in and Harrison's umJorityJs over
00,000. The republicans nro so Imppy that
they proposed to f-et up a monster demon
stration In honor of J. S. Clarksou , editor of
tbo UcRlstcr , who has been In Now York
nrtlvely nsslstln ? In managing the campaign ,
and iwho is expected homo soon , but Mr.
Clarkson has notified Ills friends that he pre
ferred that nothing of the kind should bo at
tempted and the project has been abandoned-
It Is safe to sny that Iowa Will bo In high
ftwor with the ndw nihnlnlHtratlott , A cabinet
position will be tendered to Mr. Clarkson
hlnseif In nil probability , and It ho docs not
accept it , Senator Allison \v'll ' likely bo
offered a position. Senator Allison will
nlmnst certainly nccept nn'ofllco ftt the Irinds
of 1'rcsident Harrison , If tendered him , as
his ro-oluctlon for another term to thu son-
nte Is practically out of the question.
The senator Is not in full accord with the
now element that has assumed control of the
party , and there lire many young and ambl-
Mous statesmen ready to step into his shoes.
There is every Indlc.Uion that the next leg
islature will bo nioro strongly anil-monopoly
than the last , ami If this should Bo the case ,
Allison will have no show whatever. Oov-
01 nor Larrabee is unquestionably the choice
of n very laruo majority of the republicans
for senator , and if hu can bo prevailed upon
to accept the position his election Is n fore-
eone conclusion as successor to Allison. Or
should the governor consent to a re-election
he can have the unanimous nomination for
governor for a third totm. an honor never
yet conferred upon any ot bis distinguished
predecessors.
Thd people of Iowa are not satisfied with
the anti-monopoly record ot either of their
senators , and Governor Larntbco would
have defeated .lamos V , Wilson in tbo cau
cus at least two to one , last winter , had ho
consented to entur the race. As it was , ho
received the votes of nlnftteon members who
under no circumstances would vote tor Wil
ton.
NO KXT1IA. SRSSIOS.
It is now conceded that no extra session of
the legislature will bo called , althouah the
governor is very reticent on the subject. The
railroad cases are dragging their slow length
along through the courts and the people arc
disposed to await judicial interpretation of
the laws recently unacted and of the powers
of the commission before taking extreme
measures. AVhethcr the question of 'rcason- '
ahlo rates" is solely a matter of legislature
discretion , or is subject to review by. the
courts , and whether , it the legislature has
power to fix absolute rates , li can delegate
this power to a commission of its own crea
tion , are the points in issue. The supreme
court of this state Is hard at work preparing
an opinion upon cases involving these ques
tions , and it will bo handed down in a few
weeks. The railroad lawyers fire no longer
in the majority on the supreme bench , and
the attorney general Is confident that the
legislative view of the matter will be sus
tained. Should it happen otherwise a spec
ial legislative session will certainly
follow and whatever relief to the
struggling commercial interests it can
devise will bo speedily cnaetou. Should the
decisions bo against the railroads , they will
take an appeal to the supreme court of the
United States and the people will Idt mat
ters rest until a final decision Is reached. A
compromise is talked of , but the pcoplo. and
especially thu shippers and small jobbers ,
are in no mood to listen to such a proposition.
They dointtnd such rates aa will enable them
to do business In this state , whluji tneitns as
low local rates as prevail In Illinois add
other neighboring' states , and Will bo satis
fied with nothing less.
A LUC'KV M\N' .
It must bo conceded that Peter A. Doy is
the luckiest man In Iowa. Ho now enjoys
the distinction of the only democrat elected
to n state ofilce in Iowa foroyer thirty years.
Fate fought the battle for Uey and won by
the narrow margin of SOD votes , ills name
xvas found on all party tickets and railro.Ul
cappers and grangers rallied at thb same
voting place and howled themselves ' hoarse
for the former Hock-Island onglnee'r. The
cllmdt was1 roachcfd when fully 3,000 of
the 8,500 cold water advocates took up
the s.imo cry and voted for this strong
anti-prohibition democrat rather than
for Mahln , tha very father
of-tho prohibitory lay. Mr. Mahln has sacri
ficed anil suffered more for the cause of pro
hibition than perhaps any other man In the
state , and the very clement that should have
stood by him to the last , Went over almost In
n body to his opponent , Early In January
tbo board will redrgunlre , nnd the members
bors will caat lots for the one , two and three
years' term. If Uoy's good luck should desert -
sort him and ho should draw the short
term , it is ( julto llltoly that Mr. Mrthlnwlll
be pitted against him again next fall , and it
Is to hoped with a different result. By that
tlmo the farmers will have dlseovorc'fl how
badly they have been misled nhfl Dey's
" 10X0 , ( ! granger votes" will not materialize.
Farmers as n class are not easily duped the
second tlmo. Doy has oven now refused to
sign the new sohcdulo prepared by Smith
and Campbell and ho can Hardly keep up his
double dealing much longer.

Cniwrolm , Nob. , Jv'ov. S , " . { Correspondence -
enco of Tun HUB , ] The people of this vl-
daily wo very much interested in an article
which appeared over General Hrlsbin's
limn ? , In your Issue ot the 1Mb , entitled
"Watering the Great West. " In thin aiticlo
wo llntl two things wliloh are of cUroot Inter
est to this section.
Klrst. The wanton destruction of our
foi-osts and the apparent Inonpuclty of the
ufllcersor this government to reguliito niul
control the thieving that Is going on amongst
our timber-covered hills.
Second. Tfio question of Irrigation , wliloll
Is , perhaps , of less importance to tilts partic
ular sootlon tlinn It is to the country on the
south mid north.
Wo hnvo In this extreme noith-
west corner of Nebraska a se
ries of HCiul-mountaiuous hills which
i\re , or wore , well covered with ivory excellent -
lent hard plno , This pine is found in such
places as no settler wishes to occupy , the
ednsoouencc being Unit where fill other Innd
Is taUi'ii ilp In homesteads unil pre-emption ,
those hinds still remain unocmiplcd and- belong -
long to the government , ixnd nhould bo pio-
te/cted by their owner. Instead of being pro
tected , wo Ilin.t ho railroads loading tip their
cars With ties out from this land , mid which
nro shipped to the front to continue their
building.
We also son earn of oordwood going east to
supply the wants Of less favorable communi
ties. All this with special ( government
agents wandering around trying to llml per
sons' who will pay them well for ilot seeing
thliiRS Unit they should sec.
The mutter of western iirlgation ,
which is nt present being so
Widely advocated , Is of the utmost
importance to u largo portion of thii state.
There Is surely a largo amount of land in
western Nebraska that will remain useless
until irrigated. The beauties of the irri
gative system of Colorado are very ably de
scribed In n recent article in the Now York
Nation of the 15th of'Novombor.
Tliis Irrigation Is done by irrigation com
panies , regulated by state laws In such a
wn.V that tbo companies shall dr.iw out. . Into
the canals only such proportion of the
amount of water of the streams as shall bo
consistent with the condition of the stream
atid with the demand for watur.
The writer says : "Frustrated by neither
drouth nor Hood , the husbandman is able to
mature his ciops to perfection , to accelerate
or retard their ripening , and to briny har
vest to riuit the'ir convenience. "
Inasmuch as the head waters of
our streams are in western states and they
flow through tlw central states anil end in
the southern states , it is clearly national
question affecting the western states which
requires Irrigation , and the southern states
which wish to bo relieved from fear of over-
Hows.
Th.it this can bo dono. very easily and
effectively by damming lip the head waters
of streams ami allowing the water to bo dis
tributed when it is needed is too apparent for
argument. What wo want now is the action
of our western congressmen , Who , wlien
asked to vote for eastern Improvements , will
linve the "sand" to say : "GeiithMiieu , wo ,
lee , want improvements , and when you vote
for our appropriations wo will vote for
yours. "
Our town of Crawford is having its first
excitement in the advent of a second
ruilni.ui. The H. t Mi extension to
the 1 illicit Hills is a continuation of the
Broken How line and crosses the Fremont ,
lillthorn & : Missouri Valley rend nt Craw
ford. The crossing of two sueli corporations
jives rlso to much speculation on the part of
.ho wise heads of the country , such specula
tion usually ending by saying , "This will bo
1 good town. "
The indications arc surely In favor of the
towm It is situated on what has been n
central part of thtS country for many years.
li is surrounded by :1 : most excellent agri
cultural Country oW nil slflOB , and will con
tinue to bo the commercial center of tills
sectldn. The grading of the now road is al
ready let to Crawford , and work will bo
eonimonoe'd at oneo. The town is on the
edge df the St. Hobinson military reserva
tion ami derives much benollt therefrom.
In addition to the ordinary appendices to
i country town , such as shops and busi
ness houses , we have in cpurso of construc-
lon n foundry and machine shop ; the build-
ng , a substantial brick structure , is in fact
icarlv completed. This , when In full opora-
lon , will turn out all kinds of castings , ami
will Co capable of turning out Stationary en
gines' . In connection is uho a saw mill and
sash ana blind factory. This same cnter-
> rise has also in contemplation an apart-
nont for the reduction of oro. On what ap-
icars to be good authority Is the statement
hat the Colorado Cattln company will , upon
he advent of the It. & M. , locatu a beef can
ning factory , which would bo manned by an
tble and competent force.
A second largo flour mill is also In contoin-

sold out his mliiu.
I-'roin Arl/.ona ho wont to Los Anglos
then : i hamlet , and tried orange raisinp
again , but mot with the same dilllmtltj
ho encountered nt Hivc rsldo. lie gave
that up and wont , over to San Diego in
the hog racing business , tliinking tlio.\
would not need irrigationand that tlioj
would fatlon on acorns , but the acorn
crop was a failure. Tlio hogs were n
failure , too , inasmuch us ho lost the
biggest part of his fortune.
Krom San Diego Mr. Wardnor wont
to San Francisco , and from a Miiall beginning -
ginning made another fortune in min
ing stock1' , but lost it all in one hour b\ ,
soiling segregated Uolohor Block shorl
nt $90 , and it went , up to SUoO on him
IIo hung on. and with other specula-
turns in sloclts paid his debts und lufl
for Salt Lake , which place ho struck
with iiOe in his pocket. The lirst job lie
got was pho\ cling a lumber yard out o
snow-slide. This was in April , Ib72.
A month Inter he frold Uio .Jackson-
llndloy mine , which ho had bonded for
$10,000. This way the nucleus of exten
sive ami successful speculative opera
tions in Silt Lake , which wound up in
putting the \ Vnnteh and Columbus
mines on the Knglisli market. Too
much confidence , however , in tlioso
mines left him in ten months busted
again. Tiring of the associations lie
came east , leaving his wife in Milwau
kee and coming.on to Now Vork in response -
sponso to n letter from an old-time part
ner , who wrote that he had a fortune in
a iKitcnt.
Mr. Wardner found hii friend in a
South \Vntor struct warehouse , with
car loads of packages ready for ship
ment to South Amoricn. The packages
were anti-cow kicking milking stools.
Tlio thing was chonp and feasible , and
Mr. Wardner , thinking there was
money in it , and relying on his frienu
to bo treated square , invested his last
$500 in the purchase of the right for the
state of Wisconsin. A Jersey cow kicked
the stool out of fehapo in ten seconds ,
and Mr. Wardner wab ' 'on his tippera"
again.
His next venture for a big fortune
was when the Hlnck Hills excitement
was at its height. lie was there seven
years , dealing in mines , merchandise
and eggs. In November , 187 ! ) , ho
shipped into the Itlaolc Hills 10,000do/.on
of eggs at one shipment. Ho was prosperous -
porous , and , tiring of the lifo , took his
money and came oust to Chicago , whom
ho ran against "Old Hutch , " who , as
usual , downed him.
But Mr. Wardnor would not stay
downed , and east ubotil fora , novelty ,
which ho found in the shape of oleomar
garine , which lie bought and toolc to
New Orleans , whore lie was very suc
cessful in disposing of it at a splendid
nrollt. Being the first man to introduce
it , ho virtually had a monopoly , but
kept his snipments up too long , for his
last car loads , not being packed in re
frigerator cars , consequently melted.
The car lloors were soaked full of rotten -
ton seed oil , while the tubs contained
nothing but froth. As the last ship
ments represented his profit , lie natur
ally' was once more on oven lighting
terms with a cold , unfeeling world. His
credit was good , and iio started for
Portland , Ore. , with half a car load of
oleomargarine , in which ho still saw
profit.
Tliis trip was the turning point of his
bad luck , for on route to Portland hemet
met Mr. Pritchnrd , the discoverer of
the Cour do Alone mines in Idaho. IIo
easily took the mining fever again , and ,
storing the oleomargarine nt Spokane
Falls , started for Engio City. His lirst
occupation was that of drawing a tobog
gan sludge loaded with freight at fifty
coats a pound for carrying from Tliomp-
BOH Kails to ICaglc City. In a short time
tlmo he had a dog team , and finally
thirty mules. Ho engaged in a general
merchandise business , besides freight
ing , and sold out at a handsome profit.
Two days after soiling out ho met a
friend , John Flaherty by name , who
told him about a wonderful mine over
on the Cour do Alone lake.
It was confidential , but Mr. Wardnor
took a notion to Investigate it , and
started on horseback , guiding himself
through the wilderness by blitzes on the
trees mnau by Flaherty. It was near
night when ho found tliroo men at Milo
gulch , who had discovered the famous
Hunker Hill and Sullivan mines. Ho
had a consultation with them , and s -
cured a contract for removing 60,000
tons of oro.
Jt needed expensive machinery to got
the ere out , and as ho did not have the
capital , ho sot out in search for it , and
was not as fortunate us ho would bo
to-day. His clTorts nt Portland , .Spo
kane Falls and Tostcn were frultlo.s

it Is not on any market. It Is situated
one and a half miles from Wardnor , It
is pretty nafo to sny that Mr. Wnrdner
is worth up in the millionswith great
prospects bofoio him.
In reply to the question as to How the
