REAL ROTTEN. We last week gave the good opinion of a Hanley organ of the Crumpacker crowd. To-dav we give the opinion entertained by the Crumpacker following toward the Hanley gang. The Hammond Tribune says: “Republicans who are familiar with the result of congressional caucuses in Benton county in which eight Crumpacker delegates were at first conceded to have been elected have a reasonable curiosity to know what delegate from Benton countv cast the ninety-six hundredths of a vote which was all of the Crumpacker strength which remained in the convention after the seductive influences of the opposition had “got in their work.” There is no desire to tell tales out of school, and the friends of JrnlgCrumpacker are willing to leave it entirely to Mr. Hanley and his ardent supporters as to whether 96*hundredth8 of a delegate vote were all the s rength to which the successful candidate was entitled in Benton. But there is a h story attached to thatninetyssixth hundredths. It was cast by Howard L„ Hix, of Earl Park, and it took heroic nerve to withstand the pressure which was brought to beai upon him to cast his vote for Hans ley. In Mr. Hix’s own words, “I had seen the Crumpscker delegates deserting one by one under the pressure which was being brought to bear until only two of us remained. E.ery argument had been made to win over the remaining two votes, but for myself 1 told Mr. Hanly and his friends that they might just as well ask me to

deliver up my manhood as deliver she vote which my ueighbo. s had me with J udjre Crampacker. 1 said ihat politics was ont thing and principle another and 1 would he guided by the latter. V.B a last resort they seut one of the best *.riend6 that 1 have to dissuade me from my purpose, but I said if friendship had to cease with mv voting the choice of our eaucus, I would still hold the trust of mv neighbors above the considl- - of old friendship. They saw that 1 would not give in ana let up. There was another Benton delegate who could not be dissuaded from his obligation to his constituents who were for Crum*, packer. But when Tie convention was called to order that delegate, 1 need not mention his name, was not to be found and 1 leave it to Mr. Hanly’s friends, who knew where he was, in what condition they had left him.”

And now the Crumpackeiites declare Hix a model of political virtue and integnty; that the other delegate who would not give in was made drunk bv the Hanly ites. On the other hand llauly’s supporters declare that Cruinpacker was nominated bycorrupt moths oils. In i 4 s convention notes the Tribune says: “ )ur l’ippeeauoe fiiends” h ve awakened to tLe fact that that the Lake county crowd are a trifle more advanced in political ma leavers than they gave them cr -dit for.— lhe Lake county Crumpacker beuteuauts have long known vhe value of holding something in reservo- of having something “up their sleeve,” as it were. » * * Politics is a game which two can play at, and the Tippecanoe organization which has been wont to knock down and carry out by reass on of main strength, must-concede that it lias met the enemy and capitulated. * * * * While tlu convention hall was evidently packed for Hanly the packing process had to cease with tue delegates and that is where Judge Crumpacker proved to be the better packer by just fiftystwohundicdths of a vote. It will thus be seen tlui Hanly’s friends claim that he was deteated by unfair methods and improper influences, and the Crumpacke r side side admit the charge, and oast of their cunning.

The Salvation Army. «/

The meetings in the Salvation Army tent are arousing great interest. Conversions are being mane at each meeting, and from what we cin learn the conversions are of a substantial character, several of them being important oasis. The young men are not only good musicians hut are hard and earnest workers, their meetings lasting long into the night. Notwithstandi g this th o boys are on constant duty. As we go to press we learn of the arrival of Brigadier Brewi ,

the Divisional commander, and The Brigadier is an exceptionally bright and enthusiastic speaker. He has recently conm from the command 01. the New England Division, with ueaciq'iiar tersat Boston. He is no vin command of the Northwestern Chief Division with headquarters at Chicago. The Baud will farewell Sunday night, and extraordinary meetings will be hdd Saturday afternoon and night, and Sunday afternoon and night. It is to be hoped the Army will return as we believe much good can be accomplished in our town. William L. Newman, of Lafayette, will be a candidate before the, Democratic nominating convention ot the Tenth district for the nomination for congressman from this district.- Lafayette Journal.

Secretary Morton believes that he has among the assistant statisticians of his force one mao who it little less than a wonder as a “lingerer.” The man’s name is Henry Farquhar, and rumors of his ability in mental arithmetic having been in circulation for some time, tlie Secretary the other day put the matter to a test. Mr. Farquhar,” said the Secretary, "I have heard you can multiply ten figures in your head. Is that so?” “Well," replied the assistant statistician modestly, “I am willing to try.” “Then multiply 2,689,101 by 473,” said Secretary Morton. ,Mr. Farquhar had the figures repeated to him, and then he concentrated his mind upon them. For a half minute or so he looked like a man in a trance. Then he seized a pencil and piece of paper and hurriedly wrote down the figures, “1,271.944,773.” “Now, let us see if that is right,” said Secretary Morton, and one of the bright young men of the Secretary’s office carefully and laboriously worked out the sum. “Mr. Farquhar’s figures are wrong,” he announced. “I think not,” replied the modem Zerah Oolbum, “and you had better go over your work again.” The young man did so, and in a few minutes admitted he had made an error and that Mr. Farquhar was right— Washington Letter.

The Camel in War. The Egyptian army, which under British officers and strengthened by British troops, are now marching through the Soudan to meet and vanquish the Mahdi, number, officers and men, 6,683. The men composing this force are well developed physically and of their fighting qualities there can be little doubt When led by British officers they are more dreaded by the dervishes than any other African troops, and the chief difficulty In handling them is to restrain their impetuosity and keep them from breaking their formation. One novel branch of the Egyptian ' military service is the camel corps, 500 I strong, and which was raised and or- i ganized by an Englishman in the serv-1 ice of the Khedive,

TREE© BY A MOQBC

A PVMptctnrS Narrow Eacapa la the I North of Minnesota. Two pine land prospectors, Ben Jackson and Gustave Herman, have Jnat re- , turned to Tower, Minn., from a trip into the northern part of that State, and j among other things they tell of a hairbreadth escape which Jackson had away up near the Rainy River. Coming j to an excellent tract of pine land, the two men entered from opposite sides to j thoroughly investigate it. Herman had 1 not gone far before he came upon the j feeding and breeding grounds of a herd jof at least 500 moose. His approach stampeded them and they all went off in the opposite direction. “After having examined the breeding grounds for some time and hearing nothing from Jackson,” says Herman, “I started off on the trail left by the moose, which was not a difficult thing to do, as the animals had made a good road through the snow, over which an army could have marched. Small trees were broken and old stumps overturned by the moose In their mad flight, and about a mile from the yard I came upon the mangled remains of a small cow* moose. She had, no doubt, fallen as she ran, and had been trampled to death by her companions. “Just at dusk I found Jackson. He was up a pine tree, at the foot of which, pawing, stamping and snorting in anger, was a gigantic bull moose. The animal had been tearing at the tree with his antlers until most off the bark was torn off, and the blows he inflicted upon the tali pine made the woods ring. I fired one shot at the animal, and he made off, as I had intentionally missed him when I fired. At the foot of the tree lay what was left of Jackson’s rifle. The stock was broken off and trampled info little bits, while the heavy barrel was bent and twisted in a dozen different ways, and showed plainly the marks of hoofs.”

“1 was making my way through the woods,” says Jackson, "when suddenly a noise like a hurricane coming fell upon my ear. There was no wind stirring, and therefore I was at a loss to acount for the sound. Just then the herd of moose, many hundred strong, came Into sight, and for a minute I felt sick, for I did not think there was any escape for me, and, knowing that a bullet or two would not change them from their course, I dropped my rifle and went up A tree like a squirrel. “The animals paid no atteution to me for a time, and as they dashed along under me the very ground trembled, and the tree in which I was shook as though it were a sapling. When the herd had got pretty well past an old bull, who seemed to be bigger than all out-doors, took his stand directly under the tree, and until Herman came along kept trying to knock down my refuge.”

A Millionaires' Colony.

Andrew McNally, the Chicago millionaire publisher, is promoting a unique colonization scheme. He is trying to establish a colony for millionaires at Altadena, near Los Angeles, in Southern California. He has purchased 4,000 acres of land, a large part of which has been set out to oranges, lemons and olives. Roads, an artificial lake and a club house are now being constructed. The property has been subdivided and is now being sold to friends of Mr. McNally, all the purchasers being millionaires of Chicago and New York, who, having acquired sufficient wealth, desire to retire from the cares of business and live an outdoor life in the semitropics with Just enough farm work to do to keep them healthy and happy. It is said that Mr. McNally already has sixty of these plutocratic purchasers, all men of high standing and great wealth, and that all have had plans drawn for the palaces they will also build. Each purchaser must sign a contract to make improvements costing at least $250,000 and live on the property at least a portion of each year, making it, in fact, his home.

The President as an Entertainer.

“I recently saw a statement,” said a Washington gentleman, “that President Cleveland is tired of official life, and that the lonesomeness of his office is sometimes almost unbearable. I have been told that the President has few friends Intimate enough with him to sit and tell stories and have a good time. I know of two men, both of them commercial travelers, who find the latch string to the President’s home open to them- at all times. They are jolly good fellows, great hunters and fishermen, and when they go to see the President there is a long and interesting chat about the rod and line and sport with gun and dog. There is nothing which the President enjoys better than stories of this genuine sport, for which he has an unquenchable love. I also know that men who go to see the President for the pleasure of the visit and who are not In search of office are kindly received and warmly tx-eated. The President’s two terms In office have given him a perfect disgust of office hunters, and it ls a great reHel to the chief executive when some one visits him for purely personal reasons."

Fortunes in Tennessee Oil.

Nearly $8,000,000 of capital has been invested In the Tennessee ol! fields within the last six months, and eight counties in the up-Cumberland country are awake with industry. The great value of the oil fields was kept secret for some time by speculators, who bought up all the land obtainable. The latest news from the center of the Tennessee oil fields Is to the effect that till* most sanguine expectations are being realized, and that this territory is proving to be the richest section of the State. The Standard Oil Company entered the field some time ago, and there, are now forty-one companies, operating 404 oil wells. These companies have arranged for tankage and are now discussing the question of the transportation of the oil by pipe lines.

A Good Market for Redwood.

There appears to be a great demand in England for/ California red wood, and while In California the wood is very common and is used for building fences and barns, in England it commands a fancy price. Last week a ship took aboard at Oakland a cargo of more than 1,000,000‘ feet of redwood, and another ship was preparing to take on an even larger load. The shipments were a novelty and a speculation, and if they bring good returns the California lumbermen will have a new avenue of profit opened to than.
