HASBETT , Nob. , July H. [ Special Tolo-
Kram to TUB Hr.B.l Maupln , the squaw
man nnd desperado , xvho was wanted
for horse stealing and other crimes
committed In this vicinity during the
last few years , wns arrested In Sprmgvle\v
by a sheriff * posse last night nnd placed m
Jail. The news of his arrest soon spread , nnd
about 13 o'clock a uiob of several hundred
vigilantes surrounded the Jail and demanded
tbo prisoner. Upon being refused admit
tance , the mob Immediately made > prepara
tions for a charge. Haltering rams wore se
cured and It was but the work of a few min
utes for the vigilantes to effect nn entrance.
The sheriff and his assistants attempted to
force bnck the mob , but resistance was uso-
" ps , and they wore soon overpowered und
bound.
Quickly securing the keys , they proceeded
to Mmipln's cell and throw open the door. Dy
the light of corn cobs saturated with coal
oil Mauoln was scon cowering and trembling
wlth fear In the furthermost corner. Ho
mndo no resistance ! , but. begged oltcously for
his life. Ills appeals for mercy wcro In vain ,
the only answer ho received being n shot
from a revolver in the hands of ono of the
Vigilantes. This xvns the signal for n per
fect torrent of bullets , nnd When the sickly
light of the improvised torches pierced the
gloom of the stnoko filled cell Maupln's body
was scon lying nt full length on the floor ,
literally riddled with bullets. Thirteen
shots had taken effect , nr.d death was instan
tnneons. Many of the bullets hail passed
clear through his body. After accomplish
ing tholr bloody work iho inob quickly dis
persed.
It bad been the Intention of the vigilantes
to hang the desperado , but the Impetuosity
of ono of their number in firing a shot in the
cell seemed to intensify the thirst of the
ir.ob for blbod , nnd the original plan was
abandoned for ono more expeditious nnd
attended with less danger of interrupiion.
A Cold-nioodod Murder t Aurora.
ADISOUA , Neb. , July 14. ( Special Tolo-
pram to TUB Hiiis.J Ono of the most

stantly. David Beats brought the intelli
gence here this morning and Coroner Eller-
ton. Deputy Sheriff Elchelborgor , Constable
G ebb art and your correspondent went to the
scone nf the accident *
Upon arriving nt Mr. Barrett's residence
. there was found u largo crowd of indignant
citizens , who had n rope up to the top ot the
mill for ihe purpose of hanging Tbornhlll.

- .antly , the charge taking effect In his neck
and side.
Thp prisoner , when put on the stand , nc-
Irpowlcdgcd the shooting and said ho done it

LEADVII.LK , Col. , July 14. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] About 1 o'clock this
morning flames were noticed comintr from a
row of buildings located near the Midlanc
freight depot. The building was occupied
by an Italian fruit dealer commonly known
us "Italy Joe. " In ono of the rooms of his
residence ho some time ago placet
an imago as near like the divin
ity us it was supposed ho coulc
procure. This he has worshiped with the
zeal und belief the true Christian puts in his
Invisible deity. Throe caudles surroundet
the Imago , and were kept constantly lighted
ooth day and night. Yesterday afternoon ho
left the bouse , having loft bis three candles
lit In front of the idol , and It is supposed he
had not returned homo. But , upon Investi
gation , his body was found in tbo rear room
of the cottage which was separated from the
front room by a thin partition. A bed was
pushed against the partition in the rear room
of the cottage , und beside the bed on the
lioor the body of the man was found. Ho
was lying on his back , his arms stretched
above his head , and his lingers clinched to
the palm of his hand , as if bo hac
died In an agony both lingering and terrible.
There wore put two teeth in his head , his
fuco being burned into an unrecognizable
mass , the hair being completely burned from
his hnncl.
The sight was sickening. It is supposed that
oiio of the candles set tire to the thin par
tition , and , tbo old man having fallen asleep ,
wus burned lo death. The wife and cblldrei
of another party who roomed next to Joe ,
hail a narrow escape from death , two of the
children being carried from the flames in un
unconscious condition.
A Worthless Ordinance ,
.KANSAS CITV , Mo. , July 14. Last Friday

the city ordinance prohibiting the keeping

men therefore- determined to keep open to
day in this manner. This afternoon and to-
nlL-lit , by order of the police commissioners ,
over thirty arrests were made under tbo
state , or Downing , law , which prohibits the
sale of liquor oa Sunday and makes It oblig
atory upon tbo trial judge to revoke the

An Isldloim Foe.
DBS MOINCS , la. , July 14. [ Special to THE
BEE. ] The political outlook id Iowa from a
democratic standpoint Is anything but reas
suring. Thai party , In close combination
with the railroads , rondo n supreme cfTort
for supremacy last year , and their signal
failure to reduce or rather prevent the piling
up of heavy republican majorities In most
unexpected places hna disheartened the poli
ticians and spread general1 demoralization
through the ranlc and flic , The democratic
loaders last year wcro well supplied with the
"sinews of war , " contributed largely by
ofileoliohlcrs and by corporate interests , but
the succession of President Harrison has
thoroughly frightened the few Iowa demo
crats who still hold office , and It
is not likely that they will respond
with any great degree of enthusiasm when
tbo hat is passed again for contributions ,
for tbo campaign. .But what will the cor
porations dot It is an open secret that the
railroads would bo willing to"pour out
money llko water" to seciiro the repeal of
the present railroad' law , but being saga
cious business men , the managers do not
care to pour It Into a "rut hole" foe the ben-
oflt of political stri'kcrs ' .only , and . without
some probability of Securing the desired
results. It looks now as if the democrats
and , corporation interests would part com
pany lu th' ' * campaign.
The railroads have moved over into the re
publican camp , bag and baggage , and are in
dustriously at work striving to control the
primaries. Local papers have been subsi
dized wherever possible , and an.carncst and
determined effort is being made to read the.
radical anti-monopolists out of the party , or
at least to relcgata them to the rear. From
the toiio'of certain papers ltls evident that
n "literary bureau" is at wvrk and articles
are going the rounds couirilalning of the
"radical and vicious legislation" of the past
two years , and referring ln/uo compliment
ary terms to the trusted' . anti-monopoly
leaders. To capture tbo , republican state
convention and n majority ipf , the house of
representatives is the goal to ; which all cor
poration influence is now tending. The sen
ate is a "weather vane , " und\should the rail
roads succeed in capturing thq house , u ma
jority of the august seiiatprsrWiU siutdcnly
develop very conservative views toward
"vested interests" and quickly agree to the
emasculation of the present railroad law.
The nominations for .representatives hnvo
been held in very few counties so far and in
those the anti-monopolist ? have had things
all their own way. Lncps'jiounty re-nom
inated Hon. O. * H. Byers , .n-iataunch anti-

ot the railroad" forces In Guthrlo
county , where 'ttioy * hud the
support of strong party-organs , ; the railroad
vote of Stuartu division station on the nook
Island , and the prcstigaioffdu able and pop
ular candidate , indicates that westeru Iowa
in the coming legislature will standas a unit
by Iowa interests. Casa county has also
sounded the keynote oftho campaign by the
ronomination for the third , time to the lower
house of Hon. Silas Wilspn , the abla chair
man of the railroad committee in the last
house. Adalr will follow by the ronomina
tion of Hon. A. D. Crooks , and Colonel A , J.
Cbantty Is morally certain to bo returned
from Mills.
The eastern part of the state is tbo main
reliance of the corporations , and it will bo
worked for all there is in It , and as the antimonopoly -
monopoly sentiment in that section is not
fully developed , some faithful members will
probably go down at iho primaries before
the well organized and'desperate opposition.
There is a disposition among tbo simon
pure anti-monopoly democrats to assert
themselves itt this campaign and once more
assume control of the uarty , dictate its policy
and nominate its candidates. Just now this
clement has its eyes upoA Hon. W. H. Mc

McHenrv would make a trong canvass. He
is an old settler und Is mmensoly popular
with the masses. Several years ago he ovcr-
ramo an adverse majoi ity of about four
thousand for district ji dge , carrying this
district. Polk , bis homec&unty , by some fifty
votes , overcoming th regular party
majority of some fifteen hundred. Judge
McHenry is a Jack on 'democrat of
the old stamp , aua would stand
no foolishness on tho. railroad question.
His anti-monopoly principles nro "bred In
the bone , " and under no circumstances would
ho consent to become a'cat's-paw ' to a rail-
read combine. Should the railroads succeed
in capturing tho. republican state convention
and foist a candidate upon the party who Is
In any way objectionable to tuo anti-monopo
lists Judge McHenry would run exceedingly
well , and come aangorously near being
elected. Judge McIIoiiry is a total abstainer
and was an enthusiastic supporter of tbo
prohibition amendment , and for this reason
would be woalc in tbo "river counties , " but
bo would likely nave no objection to running
upon a local option platform , with a mini
mum license of (500 , Tnis Is Iho kind of a
platform the democracy will qulto likely

BEE.I The commission came over lo Ihis
agency from Plerro this morning , arriving
hero about 10 o'clock. The Indians , being
nearly all in from the camps , were con
gregated in Iho annuity building , whcro they
were addressed by Major Warner in a long
speech , In which ho fully explained the
salient features of the bill , showing where
Its provisions affected ihis particular agency
and rcsorvation. The allotment features
were dwelt upon largely. The splendid op
portunity offered the Indian to engage in
farming was illustrated. . m the amount of
stock , the number of Implements
and. the continued Issuo. of ra
tions until Ihey became self-supporting.
The major is ono of the finished orators of
the land , and is getting able to address any
Indian audience with the same felicity with
which ho talks , to white men. 'This council
was merely preliminary , hold , as at all the
agencies , for introduction purposes and to
give Borne impetus to the native clement to
discuss the bill as laid dowa by the ex
pounder of the commission.
Careful inquiry hero among the Indians
and half-breeds verifies the predictions made
lu tbcso dispatches that there will be much
Ditter opposition hero. There are here oti
this agency three farming districts , located
on the Missouri , the Cliovenne und the 13ad
rivers , Ono of these districts Is favorable ,
the other , two arc In opposition Just now.
A large number of Indians nropresent. .
from the Pine Ridge und Hosebud agencies ,
nnd their Influence may bo great in deciding
the futo of the negotiations here.
Major Warner goes to Picrrothls morning
to attend to some business of his own whicn
is pressing him closely. It will not require
him hero Just at present , as Governor Foster
und General Croon remain to give close
attention to the multcr. The missionaries in
the camp are opposed to the bill , and this
may show that tne hint given in last week's

JPAiiis , July 14. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to THK URK. ] It was houcd that
Saturday would ace the close of the parlia
mentary session , ft was not so , however ,
for the chamber of deputies thought ilt
to prolong its existence a few days
longer. The last moments have been
marked by Incidents which will but slightly
add to the glory It * IKS achieved. On Friday
flstculTs wcro exchanged with rcmnrrtablo
deliberation , und the president of tlve coun
cil explained that oftlclals of the republic
in tha cast could rcrolvo presents greater
or small without compromising the charac
ter or dignity of tholr ofllcc. On Saturday
M. Horissc , u Uoulauglsi deputy , was ox-
polled. If the session continues many days
longer it will bo Impossible to foretell what
may happen. Amid all this confusion , however -
over , ttio chamber passed ono law \t\\\c\\ \ \ Is
really Important the bill relative to plural
candidacies. According to the reading of
this bill no one person Is allowed to offer
himself ns n cnmlldalo In more than ono elec
toral district , and every candidate Is required
to namu the place for which ho stands before
tho'datc l t llxod for election. In the oven ,
of more than ono declnratlon of
this kind being made , the first
only can bo taken account of
and If all the declarations are drawn up on
the name date , none are valid. The bills
posted by any candidate who hns disregarded
these conditions may bo torn down with Im
punity , and furthermore , a heavy line maybe
bo Inlhctcd on these who have either signed
or caused the notices to bo posted , and also
against these who have assisted In distribut
ing tickets. Lastly , tlio ballots record-
lag the votu for any candidate ineligible
In accordance with the law are null
and void , and are uot to be Included
In the count of votes. Thus , oven It a can
didate who is Ineligible under the bill ob
tains nil overwhelming majority his chums
will bo disregarded , and the next on the list
declared elected. Hitherto plural candi
dates hnvo boon considered portectly legiti
mate In Franco. It was in consequence f
this election In largo numbers of the deparU
incuts that Tillers was made president of the
republic. Gambotta also showed that ho In
tended to provoke a demonstration of u sim
ilar nature in his favor. At the present , mo
ment , however , these plural candidacies
are regarded as dangerous by the
republican party , which considers them a
kind of indirect plebiscite contrary to the
spirit of the constitution. It Is doubtless bo-
llovcd that Boulnngcr had many chances of
being returned by several departments , but
that It would bo fur more djfllcult for him
'
to Influence the electors 'to vote for
candidates who simply made use of
his name. Very probably this opinion
Is based upon a solid foundation. .Many
electors who would have voted for General
Boulaugcr with their eyes shut , without
rcflulring from him any definite programme ,
will brobably bo less easily satislled with
regard to any radical or monarchist candi
date who declares that ho stands or falls
with lo Brav General. "

WASHINGTON. 1) . C. , July 14. J
Whenever there Is a dearth of news la
Washington , It Is the custom for antl-admln-
Istration newspaper correspondents to work
on rumors. The latest effort In this line Is ih.
harmony with others which have passed cur
rent before. Yesterday ono of the Now
York papers had n paragraph to the effect
that Mr. James G. Ululuojn about to resign
his portfolio to permit the president to select
a now secretary of stato. The story is sim
ply n reiteration of a similar ono published
some weeks ago. It U scarcely worth a de
nial and would not bu worthy of oven part
ing comment but for tlio fact that
It. gives nu opportunity to explain
Just what Mr. Ulalno Is doing. The secre
tary of slate has boon hard at work upon ,
the routine ma'tors of his office over slnco
his appointment , ana ho Is still hard nt work.
At Har Harbor ho is free from the oppress
ive heat und sultry air of Washington , but
"
ho Is not .free from iho cares of" his ofllc'c.
On the contrary , ho Is constantly busy und
has with him a muss ot papers bearing upon
the forthcoming congress of American
nations. Mr. Uhilne , as well as the presi
dent , takes the greatest possible Interest In
the promotion of American trade la the
South American states , and they nro both
earnest in the hope that the congrpss will
bo followed by great results * Mr. Ululno
has work enough In tills connection to keep
him constantly nt work for two or three
months , and he will probably bo atUnr Har
bor throughout the entire summer. It Is this
absence which is the basis of the rumor that
ho intends to resign. His relations with .tho
president nro of the most cordial character.
1IA1 > FOll THE SUOAll THUST.
The policy of the sugar trust in forcing the
retail price of sugar from ( ij to 10 } cents
per pound v.lthln a year Is ulcuiy to bo fol
lowed by executive action which
will bo extremely detrimental to the in
terests of these ceiitlemen. Minister Palmer
with his credential' 'o the court of Spain
received Instruct n < a negotiate with the
Spanish authoritiec o .1 treaty which whila
admitting American , . . oducts to Cuba with
out the payment of import duty , will also
admit to the ports of the United States the
products of Cuban plantations without ex
port duty in Cuba or Import duty in this
country. Although Mr. Palmer has been ut
his post but a short timeIt is said ho has
been busy at work upon the preliminaries of
the proposed treaty which will bu based upon
that negotiated by Minister Foster during
President Arthur's administration , which
failed of ratification in the senate. Thcro
is reason to believe that Mr. Palmer '
will succeed so well that the
treaty will bo ready to submit to the sena o
early in the winter , and the greed ol the
sugar trust Is likely to materially old in securing -
curing its rntillciition. Although nogptia-
tions ore understood to bo pending between
tho. government , and , (3rcnt Hritairi for a.
better Understanding between. this country
nnd Canada , the work of Senator Palmer IB
considered by far the most Important diplo
matic measure now pending , and just before
ho sailed Mr. Blalno said to him : "Wo con
sider senator , that your mission is far more
important , just now than that coiillded to
either Mr. Lincoln or Mr , Held. "
