The latter left LaPorte twelve or fifteen years ago and went to Logansport, where he married and afterward lived in Chicago. His present whereabouts are unknown. < —About two weeks ago a lock of human hair was found in the center of a tree near Waveland. There has been much speculation as to how it came there, and one of the old settlers says that about fifty years ago a “tooth doctor” was in that part of the country, and his cure was to take a lock of hair and pin it up in some tree. This is probably how this came to be imbedded in the tree. .

—The Washington and Clark Fair Assbcociation, which holds its annual meetings on the grounds at Pekin, has elected the following officers: DrBright, President; J. W. Overton, VicePresident; W. A.

It seems that he had gone hunting in the morning and was returning home, when he either committed suicide or was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. He was found in a fence-corner, in a sitting posture, with the barrel of his gun lying against his breast. The bullet had entered his head below the chin and forced its way through the skull at the crown of his head. Klanter had a bag full of game that was still slung over his shoulder. Whether or not he was a married man was not learned.

LITTLE BEN IS ANGRY.

BLAMING THE GERMANS FOR THE RECENT LANDSLIDE. He Intimates to Senator Sawyer that Teutonic Office-Seekers Must Step to the Rear—Harrison's Official Family Wants More of the Loaves and Fishes. . [Milwaukee special.] German Republicans here have found food for discussion in a Washington dispatch published in the Herold from its correspondent there. This dispatch says: “There was no very cordial feeling in the White House to-day when the official family of the President gathered around the Cabinet table. Just what was the matter could not be definitely ascertained, but the President was out of sorts and he took no pains to conceal his feelings. He was short in his answers and Secretary Noble, as well as Miller, showed plainly that they were greatly disgruntled over the manner in which they had been received by their chief. In fact, the former was so annoyed that he was almost as brusque as the President himself when conversing with others immediately after the session. But it remained for Senator Sawyer of Wisconsin to receive the full brunt of the President’s displeasure. The Senator called Once more to urge the appoint of ex-Congress-man Guenther to the consulate which he seeks. Naturally Senator Sawyer will not divulge the nature of the conversation, but enough is ascertained from another source to warrant the statement that the Chief Magistrate scarcely treated the senior Senator from the State of Wisconsin with common courtesy. He is reported to have said sharply that he was tired of this sort of appeal and that he die not care to hear anything more of the subject. Senator Sawyer was indignant, and it is even asserted that he will not not again trouble the Piesident with his company. The fact seems to be that the Chief Magistrate lays to the door of the German-Americans the causes which led to the defeat the Republican party in Ohio.”

Like a hornet, the business end of the dispatch is that which comes last. The lierold is the leading German Republican paper in the State. That it takes the trouble to print the dispatch in English has created a feeling that there is more to the matter than appears on the surface, [Washington special. | Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, has confided to a few friends the secret that he visited the President a few days ago and found him in an irritable state of mind on account of the drubbing the Republican party got last Tuesday. The good-natured Senator had no suspicion that the President was feeling ugly, and after the usual coui-tesies informed him that he had called to see if. the President would not act favorably upon the application of ex-Congressman Guenther for appointment as Consul General at Havana. Mr. Harrison said: “It does not seem to me that this is a good time to press Mr. Guenther’s case after what the Germans have done in Ohio and lowa.” Finally the President intimated that he preferred to talk the matter over at another time, and the manner in which he conveyed the suggestion indicated that he wouldn’t care if the Senator never called up Guenther’s case again. The Senator left the White House smoking-, hot clean through. Harrison and several members of his Cabinet are having a large-sized row over the distribution of the patronage. The promises of the Cabinet officers have been freely given to Senators and representatives, and with the approach of Congress the latter are pressing for a fulfillment of the pledges. The President has been treating his Cabinet Ministers very much as though they were jclerks. He refused to accept their suggestions or has from time to time postponed action until he has involved them all more or less in vexatious difficulties with Congressmen and Senators. Wit*"n the last two or three days Mr. Harrison has been told by more than one Cabinet member that he must either let them have their way about some things or accept the responsibility.

IOWA PROHIBITIONISTS ALARMED.

Strenuous Efforts to Be Made to Prevent the Repeal of the Clark Law. [Des Moines dispatch to Chicago Times.] The question of the repeal of the prohibition law is the principal topic of discussion in lowa now that people are beginning to stop talking about the recent great victory of the Democrats. The majority of Republicans seem to think it will be repealed and are much rejoiced at the prospect. They construe the result of the election as a verdict against what the Republican platform declared was “the settled policy of lowa,” just as the result on the constitutional amendment seven years ago was construed by the' Prohibitionists as the settled will of the people, and everybody who was not willing to accept it as such was cMHared by them to be the enemy of popular government. Now the shoe is on the other foot. .The Prohibitionists are not willing to take their own medicine. They don’t propose to accept the result of the election as a popular declaration in favor of license, and will bring every influence within their power to prevent the repeal of the Clark law. The Senate is close and contains at least three liberal Republicans who will vote with the Democrats. The Lieutenant Governor being a Democrat, will make up the committees in the interest of repeal, and it will be no trouble to get a license or local option bill through that body. The fight must be made in the House, and with that end in view Representative Dobson, of Buena Vista, one of the most radical members in the last House, is already in the field for Speaker. Dobson’s election would prove a great stumbling block to repeal, and the Prohibition forces will no doubt concentrate upon him for Speaker. The people of lowa are now particularly glad they defeated Hutchison. Since election day he has become their slanderer. He says they were bought by money, and that the money came from the liquor interest. This is far from the truth. The Democratic State Committee did not spend to exceed SI,OOO all told in this campaign. It had about three times that sum for use, which was collected from the several county chairmen in the State. The remainder of two-thirds or more is left over. Why it was not used is a mystery, as there was an excellent opportunity for a legitimate and effective use of

this sum in supplying the voters of the State with good printed matter, an abunxlance of which was furnished in the columns of the leading papers of the Democratic faith. Some good effects of the avalanche are already seen in this city. A New York capitalist who had some lots in the market here at $15,000, with no buyers in sight, writes his agent to withdraw the same, saying that he is a buyer and not a seller now. Another gentleman, who is putting up a business block, has been offered SSOO more rent per annum for the same than his best offer amounted to before election. Conrad Youngerman, a wealthy citizen who has done no building since the prohibitory law was enacted, says if it is repealed this winter he will next year erect the handsomest block in Des Moines. An air of confidence in the future, which has been lacking for years, now seems to pervade all classes of business. This is one of the happiest effects of the landslide.

BURNED HIM IN EFFIGY.

HOW REPUBLICANS TREAT LITTLE BEN HARRISON. Members of the Lincoln League, of Jeffersonville, Ind., Show What They Think ol Their State's Favored Son—Bad Appointments the Cause. [Jeffersonville (Ind.) special to Chicago Herald.] The unheard-of spectacle was presented here Wednesday night of a Republican club burning an effigy of the Republican President of the United States. This sensational occurrence was the result of universal disgust with the President’s course in the matter of appointments. When signs of this dissatisfaction first manifested themselves the officers and members of the Lincoln League hero made haste to defend President Harrison from the attacks made upon his conduct. It was urged by these gentlemen that such talk from Republicans could but have the worst possible effect on the party in general, especially in view of the fact that the President hailed from Indiana and should, as they thought, be entitled to more lenient criticism than a Chief Magistrate belonging to any other State. The kickers were assured that matters would improve, and that all would ere long have cause for pride and satisfaction. As time passed, however, the grumbling grew more pronounced, general, and outspoken, and finally the dissatisfaction spread to the Lincoln League itself. The officers still strove against the advancing tide of disgust, but their efforts were in vain; and they ended by becoming as rampant iu their abuse as those they had formerly held in check. This state of things resulted to-night in the hasty preparation of an effigy of Harrison, which, with all the campaign outfit of the league, was burned, much to the delight of Republicans and Democrats alike.

The working Republicans have for months been kicking high and unanimously against the President, but the leaders have until to-night kept their condemnation within bounds. Now, however, hardly a member of the party can be found to speak a good word for him whom they cheered so lustily a year ago. The workers have hungered and thirsted for the reward of labor, but failed to get it. At the great Quartermaster’s Depot in this city not a man active in the party has been appointed. Invariably men who were removed by Cleveland are being reinstated. Most of them have held positions for twenty years, some of them being chiefly distinguished for the whisky they consume. At New Albany the postoffice created much feeling, and later the appointment of Troop, of Paoli, as Collector, when General Packard thought he and his faction had a “ cinch ” on the place, caused a renewed outburst of the storm. The immediate cause of this astounding demonstration was the reappointment of Major A. M.»Luke, who was removed by Cleveland from the position of postmaster. .A movement has been started and is taking shape for forming antiHarrison clubs among the Republicans, and the thing seems to take like wildfire. A host of prominent young Republicans here and at various points in the district are swearing they will vote with the Democrats rather than again support Harrison.

[lndianapolis special.] The appointment of Harry McFarland, one es the lowest characters of this city, to a position at Washington, has caused so much comment that the Republicans are trying to explain it by saying that he was appointed on the recommendation of ex-Senator McDonald. For tears McFarland was tout for a disreputable house in this city, and finally married the keeper of the den. Senator McDonald was asked regarding the appointment, and said: “I do not know Harry 'McFarland. I only know that there was a man by that name here. He never came to see me, and so far as I know I never signed any letter or petition in his behalf. In fact, I am not signing many recommendations for office under this administration.”

How It Happened, The grand old party organs now are trying to explain The many whys and wherefores of defeat; Meanwhile the many potent facts conclusively remain— The landslide was most thorough and complete. They’ll talk of fraud and bribery, of tricks and counting out, < Repeating votes and all that sort of stuff, But all well know the voters put their baffled hosts to rout Because they didn’t give them votes enough. They’ll say the local issues were not clearly understood, And try to patch no something to suffice— The farmer voters were at home, preparing winter wood, While Democrats in town all voted twice. But the ancient “off year" chestnut which they now parade to view, Is the one with greatest pleasure they recall, But the present indications are that eighteen ninety-two Will be to them the “off-ulest" year of all. —Chicago Herald.

WORLD S EXPOSITION.

THAT CHICAGO WILL SECURE IT IS NOW' CONCEDED BY ALL. New Yorkers Weakening— They Have About Giveu Up the Fight, and Are Ready to Surrender to the Young Giant of the West. [SPECIAL CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.] The elections being over, public attention once more turns to the approaching session es Congress, as one of the most important things to be decided by that body is the location of the World’s Fair. That question, it is hoped, will receive the earliest attention from members, and be determined ♦ithout a day's avoidable delay. The time for preparation is short, considering the amount of work that must be dons in order to insure such an exposition of the world’s progress in arts, sciences and industries as will satisfy the pride and ambition of the American people. That Chicago will secure the Exposition is now conceded on all sides. Even the leading daily papers of New York City, aftercareful deliberation, have come to the conclusion that the majority of the people of New York would prefer to have the Exposition located in Chicago. The New York Herald and Times, the two most influential journals in the Eastern metropolis, in speaking of the slowness with which subscriptions to the Now York guaran. tee fund of the Fair are coming in, mildly express the disgust that is fast growing among the people of that city. The Herald says: “In comparison with the fashion in which than World’s Fair fund is rolling up, the speed of a snail is so rapid that it positively takes our breath away. “There is a curious impression abroad of which the public mind ought to bo disabused at once. Tills fund, fellow-citizens, is for the Columbus Exposition of 1892—that is to say, for the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America, not for an Exposition five hundred years from now.nor for tho thousandth annlversaryof that great historic event. “If we ore preparing for a celebration in the year 2J92 we might congratulate ourselves upon having made a pretty good start, with a fair prospect of raising the necessary sum in time. We shall not be here, however, on that inagniflcent occasion, unless the nlixir of life turns out to be more effective than it has been, and, therefore, leave to our descendants the responsibility of that occasion. “As for the Exposition of 1832, wo must either claim it nt once or surrender our rights to that young giant of the West, Chicago, who has pulled out his wallet, plethoric with big bills,and planked it down in guarantee of his good faith. New-Yorkers don’t run much bo monuments and expositions and such things, and every acre of the park is so precious that we shall probably end by breaking every man on the wheel who votes to tear up one of its grass blades or scrape the moss from one of its rocks. Chicago has no reverence for national beauties and is enterprising enough to carry the project through If it takes every park she owns. After all, New York is the best monument of the republic, and it is Itself an exposition of all that is noblest and grandest in modern civilization. Perhaps it is the proud consciousness of these iaots which caused us to delay. Let Chicago take the hiut and go ahead." The recent canvass to learn the preferences of Congressmen throughout the country, made by another New York dally, presents one of the strongest proofs thus iar obtained of Chicago’s glowing prospects of success. Letters were sent to au the members, and In the 140 replies received Chicago leads with 40, New York cornea next with 33, Washington 13, St. Louis 8. Chattanooga 1. Potty-five Congressmen declined to declare themselves. The vote, in favor of Chicago is distributed ns follows: For Chicago, Illinois 11, Indiana 3, lowa 7, Kansas 2, Michigan 5, Pennsylvania 2, Nebraska 1, Ohio 5, Vermont 1, Virginia 1, Wisconsin 2. New York claims : New York, 23. Connecticut 2, Georgia 1, New Jersey 1, Pennsylvania 2, Rhode Island 1, Tennessee 1, Vermont 1, Virginia 1. Washington’s thirteen votes are distributed as follows: Louisiana 1, Maine 1, Maryland 1, Massachusetts 1, Pennsylvania 3. Texas 1, Virginia 1, North Carolina 1. St. Louis brings up the rear with 0 votes from Missouri and 2 from Arkansas, •

From this showing the New York paper reaches tho amusing conclusion that that city is sure to secure tho majoilty in Congress. It reads Washington out of the contest because, as it’ says, its support comes mainly from Maryland and the South, and several of these votes will naturally come to New York. The paper also lays St. Louis 'out, notwithstanding Jay Gould pledges and asserts that her votes will, be divided between Now York City and Chicago. It also congratulates itself because only five out of the nine replies received from Ohio favor Chicago, and because of this it says a close calculation of the probable canvass of votes in Congress, based on replies, is as follows: Fqr New York—New York 34, Alabama 6, Arkansas 2, California 1, Indiana 3, Connecticut 4, Delaware 1, Georgia 7, Kentucky 8, Louisiana 2, Maine 3, Massachusetts 11, Mississippi 5, Nebraska 1. Nevada 1, New Hampshire 2, New Jersey 7, North Carolina 8, Ohio 7, Pennsylvania 8, Rhode Island 1, South Carolina 7, Tennessee 4, Texas 5, Vermont 1, West Virtotal, 141. For Chicago—lllinois 20, California 4, Colorado 1, Indiana 10, lowa 11, Kansas 4, Kentucky 3, Michigan 11, Minnesota 5 Montana 1, Nebraska 2, North Dakota 2, Ohio 14, Oregon 1, Pennsylvania 8, r South Dakota 1, Vermont 1, Virginia 3, Wisconsin 9, Louisiana 1, Mississippi 2, Tennessee 4, Washington 1, West Virginia 2, Texas 1; total, 123. For St. Louis—Missouri 14, Arkansas 8, Kansas 3, Texas 4, Tennessee 2 ; total, 245. For Washington: Maryland 6, Pennsylvania 12, Virginia 7, Alabama 2, California 1, Florida 2, Georgia 3, Louisiana 3, Maine 1, Massachusetts 1, North Carolina 1, Texas 1, total 40. Resume—New York, 141; Chicago, 123; Wash, ington, 40; St. Louis, 21; scattering s—total 330. Necessary to a choice 166, The fact is New York will hardly get a vote in any one of most of the States she claims. The expressed second choice of the Arkansas dele, gation will be divided between St. Louis and Chicago. Alabama will be evenly divided between the four competing cities. Indiana may give one vote to St. Louis, but that will be all. Kentucky will support Chicago with hardly an exception, Nebraska will be solid for this city, and North and South Carolina will give Chicago some votes. New York will not get a single vote in Texas, and conceding New York’s claim to be correct in the main, so far as Chicago is concerned, this city will have a decided lead at the opening of the balloting. - The publication is practically an admission of this on the part of one of New York's influen. tlal advocates. E. T. Jeffery, Chicago’s World’s Fair Commls- ‘ sioner at Paris, has cabled from that city that, the Journal des Debats has a half column favoring Chicago's claims, and saying that it has pri- • vate advices that Chicago will have the exposition, and also that the Paris Herald says: cable from New York shows plurality of Con. gress in favor of Chicago.” Mr. Jeffery, in his private letters, says there* is a widespead interest in Europe in the Exposition movement, and especially in Chicago’s efforts to secure Congressional recognition. He Bays that all Europeans are ready to concede the justness of Chicago’s claims, and it is the de. mded opinion that exhibitors would not hesitate to come here in the event of the fair being located in the city. The New Orleans City Council has placed another sod on the St. Louis boom by refusing to pass a resolution indorsing that city for the World’s Fair. Some days ago and after the New Orleans Board of Trade had indorsed Chicago the St. Louis committee conceived the idea of ■ opposing that action by securing official recognition from the City Council. A Commit loner was sent to New Orleans charged with the importance of convincing the Aidermen that St.' Louis was the only available city, and when a resolution came up in the Council a week ago the matter was referred to a committee. This was in accordance with the viewß of the St. Louis commissioner, and he succeeded in securing the good favor of the majority of the committee, which reported last Tuesday night to the council. In the meantime Chicago’s adherents bad become aware of the intentions of the St. Louis people, and when the resolution Indorsing St. Louie was presented by the committee to the council a motion to table was made and carried, thereby defeating the aspirations of St. Louis, and gaining, as it is, a double victory for Chicago.
