BREEZY BRIEFLETS.

COLLECTED BY WIRE FROM FAR AND NEAR. An Entertaining and Instructive Summary of the Doings of the Old and New World, Embracing Politics, Labor, Accidents. Crime, Industry, Etc. HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE. How the Denver Police Treat Suspects - Against Whom They Lack Evidence. The utmost excitement was created in Denver. Col., when it was learned that in the Grand Jury’s report six indictments were found against Chief Loar, of the city detective force, and Detectives Clark, Watrous, Crocker, and Ingersoll for false, imprisonment, and two for assault to kill and one for assault and battery against Watrous. The complaining witnesses are Dan Sinks and B. F. Smiley, who were imprisoned and brutally assaulted by the officers for the purpose of extortiug a confession to a crime for which they were arrested and which they claim they knew nothing of. The local press has for some time charged the city detective force with being very oorrupt and that they receive regular monthly contributions from fallen women, gamblers, bunco men, and criminals, and in return these classes are not molested. These charges will be investigated by tlie Grand Jury.

WILL GET BACK IN THE “PEN.” A Pardoned and Exiled Convict Keturus to Hit Native Place. An attempt was made at Montgomery Minn., to lynch Thomas O'Conner. Two weeks ago Gov. Merriam pardoned O'Conner from the State Prison at Stillwater, where he was serving a life sentence for the murder of Harvey Pratt, his nephew, at Le Sueur Center. The Governor placed the peculiar provision in the pardon tiiat the prisoner should Immediately leave the State never to return. He went to lowa but in little more than a week returned .to Le Sueur County. Pratt's enemies organized to hang him, upon learning which officers seized him and hurried him away to jail in an adjoining county. County Attorney Everett, of Le Sueur, had a conference with Gov, Marrlam.by wire, and it is stated O’Conner will be placed behind the bars at Stillwater, to remain there the rest of his days. Wliat Miss Winnie Says. The engagement of Miss tViunie Davis, “The Daughter of the Confederacy,” and Mr. Alfred Wilkinson, of Syracuse, is definitely broken. To a reporter Miss Davis said: “1 do not care tj converse about the breaking of my engagement. Suffice it to say that no mercenary motive prompted me in the course I decided to take. Mr. Wilkinson and I severed our relations by mutual agreement. All this chatter about Mr. Wilkinson and myself is exceedingly annoying. Mr. Wilkinson is an estimable young man. I think a great deal of him and his family. As for my friends influencing me, that is absurd. Many of iny relatives in the South were particularly fond of Mr. Wilkinson.” Farmers WiU Build Their Own Stock Yards. The intended extension of its business by the Farmers’ Alliance of the Southwest was discovered when it was learned that they are about to establish an independent stock yards in Kansas City, Mo. Texas, Nebraska and lowa are at the back of the scheme. Fifty acres of land adjoining the present stock yards is the site of the new yards. By maintaining their own yards the farmers believe they can save much money in marketing their cattle by doing away with the commission men and a great part of other expenses. Dakota Fanners Will Need Help. Reports from various parts of Sargent County, North Dakota, are to the effect that a large number of settlors will need aid before spring. The wheat crop having been a partial failure for the last three seasons, and much of the land being incumbered, the outlook is indeed dismal. The Commissioners have appointed L. N. Babcock, W. Buchanan, and A. Helson as a committee to visit St. Paul and Minneapolis to confer with the railroad officials with a view to obtaining reduced rates on fuel and feed the coming winter. Christmas Beeves for London, Moses Kahn of Cincinnati has just closed one of the most important deals in fine cattle ever made In Central Kentucky. It embraced 045 bead of pure bred shorthorns averaging 1,800 pounds each, for which Mr. Kahn paid $58,050, or 5 cents per pound. It is said to be the best herd of cattle in America, and is intended for export. The cattle will be fed in Kentucky until December, when they will be shipped to London for Christmas beeves. Don't Want Liquor at tlio Fair. The American Christian Convention has closed a seven days' session at Marion, Ind. The World's Fair Directors at Chicago were asked to prohibit the sale of liquor on the grounds, and the importation of liquor into the Valley of the Congo was declared to be a stain upon Christian civilization, which Congress was asked to remove. Prairie Fires in tlie Northwest. The ranchmen near Antelope, N. D., west of the Missouri River, report serious losses from prairie fires. They claim the trouble is due to the Indians, who started the fires to drive the game sout. The ranchmen propose to take the matter before the proper authorities to prevent a repetition of their ioss-s from the same cause. Killed in a Duel. At Lexington, N. C., in a duel between Oscar Barringer and John Mcßary the former was shot dead. Mcßary claimed Barrington had been too intimate with Mrs. Mcßary. Funeral of Mrs. Booth. The funeral of Mrs. Bocth, mother of the Salvation Army, took place in London. Thousands followed the body to the grave. The burial service was read by Gen. Booth. Workmen Win the Fight. The strike of dockmen at Limerick has ended. The demands of the men were granted. Disastrous Cowhiding Trip. Annie Bios and Sophie Bosse, employes in a St. Louis umbrella factory, attempted to cowhide Louis Animas on the street for circulating slanderous reports. He turned on them and struck Annie with a stone, severely injuring her. He is a clerk in a rival factory. Diphtheria at Council Bluffs. Several new cases of dljffitheria and of typhoid fever have been reported at Council Bluffs, lowa. Diphtheria has been increasing for the last two weeks. In one district «f, the city the schools have been

SAYS IT IS A RUSE. Are the Mormons In Earnest In Renouncing Polygamy? Judge L. T. EJliolm, of Morgan City, Utah, formerly a prominent member of the Mormon Church, lias resided in Utah during the last twenty-nine yeats. To an Omaha reporter lie said: “The reports in circulation concerning the intenticn of the church to remove it* meinl»2rs to some other country where they can practice the teachings of their religion without the interference of the civil authorities is scare -ly to be credited. Gentile government is. of course, repugnant to the Mormon leaders, but they hope to secure things more to their liking when the Territory is admitted into the Union. Then they hope to elect State officiate In accord with their ideas and be enabled to practice the teachings of the church a« of old. The proclamation of President Woodruff, recently published, in which he declared that the chur< li lead abolished polygamy and advised the members to observe the law. I have every reason in the world to believe is false. While the President published this notice to the world in language not to he misconstrued, It means altogether a different thing to the faithful members of the church. Polygamy is and will continue to be sanctioned by the church in secret. This announcement Is made with a view of securing early admittance as a Staet. and then by supporting either political party from which favors can be gained in the interest of the church the Mormons expect to prosper as their prophets have predicted.” CROPS IN THE RED RIVER COUNTRY. Wheat and Corn Yield Unusually Wall This Year. W. F. Dalrymple, the great Dakota farmer, has returned to Milwaukee from a trip through tlie Red River Valley, highly elated with the state of things on his monster farm. “The output of our farms,” he said, “has been more satlsfactcry this year than ever before. Thrashing is about finished, and the whole valley proper has a very fair crop. The yield of wheat has averaged from twelve to fifteen bushels to the acre, and it is a good quality. T was very much pleased with the corn development I found out there. Heretofore It has been supposed that corn could not be raised there, hut this year they planted a variety that had been acclimated in Northern Minnesota, and they have a good crop. I saw a great many fields of from 100 to 200 acres, and the corn had ripened in all of them. The ears are large, and the kernel is firm and rich. The movement is of the greatest importance to that part of the country. Its success will enable the Dakota farmer to diversify crops, and this provides against the total failures tlint have been such hard blows to the people there. It will mako it possible to work Into stock raising, and I think the result of the expeilment will be the gradual changing of tlie district into a stock-raising country.” OCTOBER CROP ESTIMATE. Bulletin Issued by the Agricultural Department at Washington. The October estimate of yield per acre for the entire breadth of cereal crops as consolidated by the Department of Agriculture are: Winter wheat, 10.8 bushels per acre; spring wheat, 11.5; the wheat crop. 11.1; oats, 10.8; barley. 21; rye, 11.8 bushels. The condition of corn is 70.0 instead of 70.1 last month. Buckwheat, 90.7 Instead of 80.5; potatoes. 61.7, instead of 75.7. There is practically no change in the general average of condition except a reduction of four points in potatoes and un increase of two points in tobacco. Tlie effect of winter frosts upon wheat is shown by the low rate of yield to have been severe. Tlie figure •would have been lower but for the reduction of area by plowing and planting of the worst fields In other crops. Koine of the higher rates in principal States are: New York, 15.2; Michigan, 15.2; Illinois, 11.5; Kansas, 18.5. In tlie Ohio Valley tlie variation in yield in different counties has the extraordinary range of from fivo to twenty-ilvo bushels, and In extreme cases from one to thirty bushels. One county In Illinois claims “the best cropQn years,” and another “poorer crop than was expected.” The Dakota yields, varying from a bushel or two to 25 bushels, make an averago of 0 bushels per acre; Minnesota returns 12 and Wisconsin 12.5 bushels. The estimated yield of oats is 19.5 buskels, which is the lowest ever reported, probably reducing tlie aggregate product more than 200.000.000 bushels.

business improving. So Say R. G. Dun & Co. in Tlieir Weekly Review of 1 nule. R G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Business in all branches shows improvement. Prices of commodities are a shade stronger than a week ago, grain and oil having advanced witli many kinds of manufactured products, but the general advance since Oct. 1 is not a quarter of one percent, as yet. The movement of commodities is very heavy, tho money market here is now a s.urce of embarrassment, and the feeling of confidence everywhere increases. The state of foreign trade is fairly satisfactory, hut the weakness of American securities in London and tho dLturbed state of tho stock market •there, approaching a panic Thursdry. affects prices here and lessens the chance of early imports of specie. The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days numbered 215, as compared with a total of 197 last week For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 214. WHEAT SUPPLY OF THE NORTHWEST It is Estimated that Minnesota and Dakota Will Produce 90,000,000 Bushels. The crop estimates agree generally in placing the wheat yield of Minnesota and the Dakotas at about 90.000,000 bushels. It Is conceded that about 20,000,000 bushels will be requited for seed and local consumption by farmers. Deducting this, there remains 70,000,000 bushels The millers of Minneapolis are expected to consume about 30,000,000 bushels during the year, and this reduces the supply to 40,000,000 bushels. The wlntor wheat millers In the southern bolt and the spring wheat millers of Wisconsin will probably call for 15,000,000 bushels, and the supply goes down to 25.009,000 bushels, and nothing has been said about the wants of tlie many mills in Minnesota and the Dakotas. It is thought to be a fair estimate, however, to place the consumption at onethird their capacity, leaving 15.000,000 bushels. There has been no allowance made yet for wheat shipped to New York. Duluth is a heavy New York shipper. The statement appears to be warranted that good milling wheat will be scarce, with the result that, flour must advance later in the season. FAILED FOR A BIG SUM. A Car ( oinpanv at Indianapolis Owe Over Half a Million. The Indianapolis Car Manufacturing Company has leen placed in ihe hands of a iccoiver on the petition of John Viorhees. Purchasing Agent of the company. The petition says that the ctmpauy is insolvent, having debts to the amount of about $650,000 and no means to pay them. He says also that the assets have been largely pledged to secure indebtedncsi, and that SIOO,OOO of this amount is now due. The company is composed of C. S. Millard and George A.

McCord, and has been in business in that city for years. Millard aaid that the failure %as precipitated by tfcte collapse (*f the Empire Lumber Company, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and that nearly all the Indebtedness is located In the South. Matthew Henni..g was appointed receiver. An attempt will be niade to carry on the works and retain the 800 employes If possible. WHAT WE SENT TO EUROPE. More Beef and Hog Product* Shipped than Last Year. The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington reports that the total values of the exports of beef and hog products from the United States during the mouth of September. 1800, and during the eleven months ended Sept. 36, 1890, as compared with similar exports during the corresponding periods of the preceding year, were as follows: September, 1890, $10,795,597; September, 1889. $7,872,691. Eleven mouths ended Sept. 30, IK9U. $198,587,043; eleven months ended Sept. 30, 1889, $91,215,489. The values of tlie dairy products were as follows: September, 1890, $1,122,549; September, 1889, $834,954. Nine months ended Sept. 30, 1890. $6,674,139; nine mouths euded Sept. 39, 1889, $7,754,37L IN NORTHWESTERN ELEVATORS. Stock of Wheat Stored in Minnesota and tlie Dakota*. Figures compiled by the Northwestern Miller show the stock of wheat in private elevators at Minneapolis to be 2,490,000 bushels, an increase of 368.000 bushels since last week. This makes a total stock at Minneapolis of 4.095,400 bushels and at Duluth 851.637 bushels, or 4.947,000 bushels altogether in the two places, against 4,187,000 bushels a week ago. The Market Record estimates that the country elevators of Minnesota and the two Dakotas contain 4,984.000 bushels, an increase for the week of 713,000 bushels. The aggregate stocks in the Northwest Is thus swelled to 9,931,000 bushels, against 8,458,800 bushels last week. Rich, anil Weary of Life. Walter O. Kernochan, twenty-six years old, ovor-rioh and surfeited with the comforts of this world, blew his brains out in his apartments at the Delta Plil Club, at 5 East Twenty-seventh street, New York. Kernochan had a good social standing, was possessed of over half a million dollars, and was engaged in u profitable business that was making him richer all the time. “I look upon this act of his,” said one of his friends, “as the culmination ot his gloomy ideas upon life. 8j far as we know there was no woman's influence. He liked to lounge about the Calumet Club talking horse, or else to sit at the window and stare at the passers-by. In business ho was almost over-conscientious. He would reproach himself bitterly if he arrived at his office a few minutes late and found that he had been wanted for anything. 11c was one of the young men who have seen life and bocomo blase at an early ago. He probably ihouglit life wasn’t worth living and so got out of it.” Great Suffering in Italy. Storms all over Italy have done Immense damage and have greatly increased the suffering of the already impoverished Inhabitants of the country; who are crippled by the heaviest taxation. There is much discontent manifest'd everywhere egainst Signor Doda, the Minister of Finance, who has revived certain taxes which many people believed obsolete. In Milan, however, this imposition has been resisted and With some success. King Humbert's health is not good. The hereditary prince also Is far from well. Six Men Injured. A terrible explosion occurred at the Duoey Lumber Company’s lower saw-mill at Muskegon. Mich., as the fireman was getting up steam. Four of tlie six boilers exploded, wrecking tlie mill and throwing the other two boilers rar from their foundations. Six men were injured, and one— Fireman Verger—cannot recover. Tlie cause of the explosion was low water. The loss to the mill will be heavy, and it will not start up again this fall. Abraliuni Lincoln's Log Cabin. A committee from Chicago in tlie Interest of the World’s Fair visited Washington County, Kentucky, this week, and bought of Henry Reed tlie log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln lived as a boy, and where his father was married to Nancy Hanks, the certificate being preserved there yei in the County Clerk’s offieo. Tlie price paid for this historic rolic was SI,OOO, and it will he taken down and erected, entire on a prominent site at tlie World’s Fair. Narrow Escape of tlie Czar. A rumor lias been current for several days in Warsaw that the Czar of Russia was badly wounded in the foot by the explosion of a dynamite sholl while hunting in the forests of Shierniovice, forty-two miles from that city. General von AVerder, an aid-de-camp of the German Emperor, who accompanied tlie Czar, was also wounded by the same explosion. The Czar’s official organ denies that he was wounded. Grand Duke Nicholas Is Cra/.y. At the close of the military maneuvers in Volyhnia, the Grand Duke Nicholas, chief in command of the Russian army, suddenly became insane. His mental derangement is the result of disease from wlii;h he has long been a sufferer, and the effects which were aggravated by the strain incident 1o the manuevers. His case is hopeless. Want* lo See the Heather. Prince Bismark will probably visit England within the next few weeks. The Prince is still keenly desirous of seeing the Scotch heather in bloom. Lord Rosebery is as anxious as ever to receive the distinguished ex-Chancellor, and his lordship, while not entirely sanguine of the arrival of tho I Prince, is proceeding with his arrangements for his reception. Went Over the Fall* and Lived. While hauling stone near the Ohio Falls, at Jeffersonville, Ind., John Hoy’s team ran away and plunged into the roaring rapids. Hoy gave himself up for lost, but the horses swam llio torrent and successfully returned to shore with part of the wagon and lloy clinging to it. No one ever before passed the falls and lived. Alleged Incendiaries Arrested. Will D. Bailey and George Smith, of Hillsdale, Mich., have been arrested on the effarge of starting the incendiary fire that burned Waldron so badly on Aug. 6. causing a loss of 520,000. Bailey had a small stock in one of the burned stores, and is supposed to have had Smith help him fire it to obtain the insurance money. He Is a “Big Injun.” Daniel Curyer, the Indian who weighs | over 300 pounds, and who is too big to walk, was carried into the United States Courtroom at Milwaukee in his specially made chair. He pleaded guilty to a charge of selling liquor to Indians, a practice he has been carrying on for years, and was sentenced to thirteen months in the State Prison. It Was a Itig Failure. At a meeting at Boston of the creditors of Seuvey, Foster & Bowman and the Eureka Silk Manufacturing Company, the assignment was approved, and the assign-

ees were authorized to conduct the mill and business for three months. The total 11a- | MlKles are $1,617,503, and the assets $1,536,746. Attempt to Murder Breckenrldge. Information has been received from a very responsible source that an attempt was recently made to assassinate ex-Congress-man C. R. Breckinridge of Arkansas, at Center Ridge. Conway County. He is pursuing his t auvass for re-election and while he was speaking a cap was snapped at his tack outside the window where a large crowd had gathered. It was about four feet from where he was standing, and the report attracted much attention from the audience, many of whom went out of the house to investigate the matter. Mr. Breckinridge completed his speech, however, and on his return to his hotel Mr. Norman, a citizen of the place, was kne* ked down from behind with a slung-shot. are no clews to the attempted murderer. Wanted to Sacrifice Her Child. At Springfield, Ohio. Mis. Nancy Suiriva* became a raving maniac ovc-r the subject c> religion.

Will Work w ith Colored Men. Tlie strike on the Houston Sc Texas Central Railway has ended. Representatives of the Supreme Council of the Federation ot Railway Employes decided that the color line could not be made an issue aud that the strikeis had made a mistake. Canada Reduce* Export Duties. At a special meeting of the Canadian Cabinet, contrary to expectations, the government removed the export duty on sawlogs to meet the-requirements of the McKinley hill, reducing the import duty on pine lumber to $1 per«J,ooo feet.

Stricken Deaf, Dumb and Blind. E. M. Baldwin, of Martinsville, Ind., while standing before a glass arranging his toilet, was stricken with paralysis, rendering him deaf, dumb and blind. He recovered sufficiently to scrawl on a piece of paper: “I cannot see, hear or talk.” Ho Stole *300,000. William A. Schrieber, who robbed the First National Bank of Columbus, Ind., of $300,000 and fled to Canada, but who was recently decoyed to Detroit and arrested, was sentenced to twelve years in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of SSOO.

SHOT BY AN INSANE MAN

MARY ANDERSON’S CRAZY LOVER COMMITS MURDER. fame* D. Dougherty Shoot* and Kill* Dr. George Lloyd of the Fiatbush Insane Asylum—He Plan* Wholesale Murder and His Own Suicide, but Is Arrested. [New York dispatch.] Dr. George W. Lloyd, the Assistant Superintendent of the Fiatbush Insane Asylum, was killed by James D Doughsrty, Mary Anderson’s crazy lover, who had been generally regarded as a harmless crank. Dougherty escaped from the asylum about two months ago by means of a false key. Since then he has been frequently seen on Broadway in this city, and occasionally at Fiatbush. He appeared there with a big revolver on Sept. 23, and by threatening the life of Superintendent Fleming got his clothing which he had left behind when he escaped. Ho was seen trudging through the miry grounds of the asylum late this afternoon. He walked up the wide stone steps of the main entrance to the asylum, placed his blackthorn stick and his cloak in the hailway, *and appeared suddenly upon the vision of four startled men In the office on the right of the corridor. They were Dr. Lloyd, Dr. Thomas J. McGreal, the druggist of the institution, young Dr. Edwin W. Ashford, of Washington, who is superintending the taking of the Federal mortality census in Brooklyn, and Drug Clerk Schneider. The spectacled crank stood, bareheaded, In the doorway of the office, with a big, brand-new, glistening revolver in each hand. His eyes were gleaming with the light peculiar to a dangerous lunatic, and the young physicians instantly recognized that they were in-ex-treme peril. Their first thought was to pacify the madman by soothing words, and then overpower and disarm him. He stood in tho doorway for a moment glaring at the frightened men, and then said, lu a savage tone: “Where is Dr. Fleming?” Dr. yoyd nervously fingered the paper before him and answered: “Dr. Fleming has just put on his coat and hat and gone out. ” Dougherty remarked gruffly, still glaring at the young physician, “I don’t believe it.” Then ho walked to the door of tho pharmacy, which adjoins the office on the north, and backed in, covering the four men with his revolvers. “He is not in there, anyhow,” he said. Dr. McGreal, white as plaster, stood directly in range of the weapons, with his back to the lunatic. It was only a few seebnds that Dougherty was behind him, but he says It seemed like half an hour. Dougherty moved toward Dr. Lloyd, who was still sitting at his desk in the middle of the room. The Doctor said, in a conciliatory tone, looking calmly into the muzzles of tho two self-cockers: “Dougherty, you ought to be ashamed of yourself to want to hurt Dr. Fleming; he has always been a good friend of yours. ” The lunatic said nothing. He coolly walked up to the Doctor’s chair, placed the muzzle of the large revolver (which is nearly a foot long) almost against the Doctor’s left, side and fired. The bullet pierced the young physician's heart and went clear through his body. He threw up his hands, arose convulsively from his chair, and exclaimed, “Oh, Dougherty!” While lie was toppling, with his life already gone, the assassin, sent another bullet through the Doctor’s neck. Dr. McGreal ran through the corridor Into the street and shouted “Police!” There are no police within half a mile of the asylum, but tho druggist didn’t think of that in his excitement. As Dougherty passed Dr. Ashford in the hall the young Washingtonian noticed that ho was remarkably cool. He still held the revolvers in his hands, and as he went out of tho door he warned Dr. Ashford to keep back. But Dr. Aslifoid is a man of nerve, and, although unarmed,, he determined to follow Dougherty and have him arrested. For nearly threequarters of a mile he kept less than a block behind the murderer on a deserted road.

Every now and then Dougherty would stop, point his weapons at his plucky pursuer, and warn him back. But he kept right on when Dougherty resumed his flight, sticking his pistols in his hip pockets. Dougherty stopped a moment at tho Kings County Hospital, near the asylum, and inquired for Dr. Arnold, whom he also intended to shoot. Dougherty was finally arrested after crossing the Brooklyn bridge. The policeman who captured him took him around to the Oak Street Station and turned him over to Acting Captain Gahan, to w'hom he unfolded his plan of wholesale murder. He intends to kill ten or a dozen people, beginning with Dr. Fleming. Dr. Hoyt, the Secrotary of the State Charities Board, was also to be a victim. He snuffed out the promising life young Dr. Lloyd because Dr. Fleming wasn’t around. He is said never to have been violent except on the occasion of Mary Anderson’s return from Europe, and then he raved about the hallway at night until Night Clerk AVaddell had to call in two policemen to quiet him. He would stand for an hour at a time in the hotel din-ing-room surveying a portrait of Mary Anderson. From a letter written to Louis Spader, a guest at the hotel, it seems that Dougherty contemplated suicide after his campaign of murder. He said it was not worth while to ship his body to his home at Olean, Cattaraugus County, N. Y. Dougherty gained wide notoriety hy his mad infatuation for Mary Anderson.

IN HONOR OF HARRISON

WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT IN WESTERN STATES. Clisers All Along the Line—A Rousing ltemonitration by the Citizens ot Danville, ill.—Stop* at Other Towns on Bit Journey. [Danville (I1L) dispatch.) President Harrison is making a Western journey to attend the reunion of his old brigade at Galesburg, and other soldiers’ reunions. The Presidential party was advertised to reach this city at 6:30 o’clock this evening. During the day a platform was erected on the north side of the railroad* tracks opposite the depot of the Peoria Division of the Big Four. Before 6 o’clock a small crowd' of early comers had assembled, and it was good for them that they had taken time by the forelock, for it was just five minutes of 6 when the special Presidential train arrived. The old veterans, headed by a martial band,, and the reception committee were fortunate enough to arrive on the scene a. few minutes before. During the day Editor Jewell, of the Danville News, had invited Circuit Judge Hughes, Edwin Winter, Capt. R. F. Cook, and a few other prominent Republicans to accompany him to the Danville junction, where they would board the train and ride to the Big Four depot. Not having heard of the change of time, they arrived at the junction just in timeto see the train disappearing in the distance. Editor Jewell and Captain Cook,. whd" were on the Reception Committee, started on the run down the track after the train and succeeded in reaching the Big Eour depot, a distance of over a mile, a few minutes before the final departure of the train. Congressman Cannon and Joseph B. Mann were more successful, being the only citizens to boar<& the train at tho junction. Battery A fired the Presidential salute on the arrival of the train. Congressman Cannon, led the party on the platform. The lights were so badly arranged that It was impossible to distinguish the features of the President. The crowd called for lights. They were not forthcoming, and the Presidential features remained in darkness. After a fifteen-minutes’' speech the party boarded the traih anfii the President stood on tho real* platform. By this time the crowd had rapidly grown to dense proportions, and the air was filled with cheers for the President. He gracefully introduced Secretary Tracy and his private secretary, E. W. Halford. Both were enthusiastically received. All was quiet for a few minutes, when a child was held up to shakePresident Harrison's hand. Then thecrowd, with one mind, took up the idea, and a grand rush was made fiom all directions for the car platform. Women,, and children were fearfully crowded. Some, unable to stand the pressure, fell and were trampled upon. One lady wasseriously Injured. At twenty-five minutes after 6 the train departed for Champaign, leaving behind the largest crowd, ever assembled in Danville. Had it not* been for the mistake in time, the reception would have been a grand success in every particular. The President in his. speech said: My fellow citizens, I regret that the timeof our arrival and the brief time we can. give you should make it so inconvenient foryou who have assembled here to greet us.. Yet though the darkness shuts out your ■ faces, I cannot omit to acknowledge with, the most heartfelt gratitude the enthusiastic greeting of this large assemblage of' my fellow citizens. It is quite worth while, I think, for those who are charged witn. great public affairs now and then-to turn, aside from the routine of official duties to. look into the faces of the people. It is well, enough that all public officers should be reminded that under our republican institutions the repository of all power, the originator of all policy is the people of theUnited States. I have had the pleasure of visiting this rich and prosperous section or your great State before, and am glad to notice that if the last year has not yielded an. average return to your farms that already tho promise of the coming year is seen in. your well-tilled fields. Let me thank you, again and hid you good-night. At 7:40 the train reached Urbana, where another multitude of Illinoisansclamored for a sight of the Presidsnt. He declined to talk, however, and introduced Secretary Tracy, who was received, with applause. At Champaign the citizens were attended by the students of the University.of Illinois, who received the Presidentwith their college cheer several timesrepeated.

“My good friends,” said the President,, “it is evident that there is a large representation here of the Greek societies. II thank you for this greeting. We are on. our way to Galesburg to unite with my old comrades in arms of the First Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth Army Corps, in a reunion. I have not expected here or at any other intermediate point, on tho journey to make any addresses,, but I cannot fail to thank these young gentlemdn from the University of Illinoisfor the interest their presence gives tothis meeting. Your professors no doubt, give you all needed admonition and advice, and you will, I am sure, thank motor not adding to your burdens. Goodnight. ” After leaving Champaign the train, made no further stops until Bloomington, was reached at 9:15. The President and Secretary of theNavy refrained from making any speeches either at Bloomington or at, Pekin, although immense crowds greeted! the party at both places. At Peoria,, which was reached at 11:35 o’clock, Mayor Clark and the members of theCity Council greeted the party and escorted the President and his friends tothe National Hotel to spend the night. Owing to the lateness of the hour no-speech-making was indulged in.
