HOWARD COUNTY. Kokomo, April 7. The township elections were sharply contested in every township in this connty. Tho present trustees are four Democrats and seven Republicans. The result of to-day's balloting, though not officially known, will almost certainly show a gain of three trustees for the Re publicans, making tho representation of trustees for the ensuing four years stand one Democrat and ten Republicans. In this township, Center, . S. Jlockett, Republican, is re-elected by a majority of SCO.

In the outside to wn- , ships, to-day, there is but little change in the results from two years ago. In this city, Sims, Democrat, is elected trustee, and nnothcial figures indicate that the entire Democratio township ticket is elected. Two years ago a Republican was elected by 37. In several precincts the election boards refused to count the Democratic ballots for justices of the peace because they contained four names, while the otlicial notice of election called for but two justices to be chosen.

April 7.Municipal elections were held throughout Kansas to day in cities of tho fourth class. Reports from several of these cities indicate that the women, who are allowed by law to vote at the city elections, cast about twofifths of tho votes. They had no candidates in the field of their own sex, but allied themselves generally with one or4the other of the parties, in the contest. At the elec tion at Oskaloosa last vear the women run a full city ticket and elected it. At the present election the women declined to run for re-election. They said they had placed the city's affairs in good conditiou. and were willing to let the men try aud keep them so.

Ewart, Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. iloldcu, Mrs. Nat Ross and Mrs. Hrown. Republican losses in Michigan. Detroit, Mich., April 8. Charter elec tions were hsld very generally throughout the State to-day.

EXILED TO THE CAUCASUS. How 31 adameTchebrikora Was Spirited Away The Czar's Terror and Kage. London, April 7. Madame Tchebrikova, who was reported to have been exiled for her letter to the Czar, is now at Penza, in Caucasus, under a strict police watch. She was conveyed thither hurriedly in a carriage without windows. No halt was made except in the open air. Her food was abominable. She was constantly guarded by gen-darmes and'not allowed to speak to any one. ' A correspondent has the following to say about the situation in Russia: All sorts of wild rumors aro circulating in St. Petersburg as to a trial of Nihilists said to bo proceeding somewhere in that city no one can iind out where and also about disturbances in various Darts of the empire. There seems to be no doubt that in the government of Riazan. the infuriated peasants rose in a body and beat nearly to death the tyrannical young district Governor whom the Czar had sent down to rule the place. Sinister importance attaches to this news, because it is the first time in Russian history that a rural political riot has occured. Heretofore the strength of the autocracy has been in the fact that tho country people were stolidly loyal. It can be easily seen that the tidings now of a rustic revolt created deep excitement. The Czar himself is nearly tit to lie, what with his state of rage, terror and genuine dismay, at the Titanic inuddlo he has got things into. His illness is ascribed, publicly, to a recurrence of tho crip, from which ho suflered a good deal during the winter, but there are a great number of reports furtively spread about his having been noisoned. and others profess to knowk that his nerves and mental balance have completely collapsed under the strain. Hois not thisyeargoingto Gatschina for Easter, with his family, and this departure from his invariable rulo attracts great attention. Of course it is taken to mean that he does not dare to leave the Winter Palace, and this in itself is enough to till the public mind with tho terror of a new and desperate outbreak of rnurderons attempts by the Nihilists. This time, however, there is very little personal sympathy with the Czar, lie has dad nine years of trial now aud it is impossible to name a single particular in which Russia is not worse oft than when he began. People have grown tired of saying in extenuation that after all he is a personally devoted and well-intentioned man, an excellent husband and a sincere patriot. These things are all very well but they do not alter the fact that his government is the meanest, stupidest and worst that Russia has known in this century, and that wherever he has personally interfered the erl'ect has been to increase and intensify its evil character. In trnth, he is a thickheaded, obstinate, unintelligent fanatic, without ability or tact enough to manage a carpenter's shop: Things have been so wantonly and persistently mismanaged everywhere that society is falling to pieces abont his ears. He knows no way of meeting this universal convulsion save by the knout, the gallows, tortnro and by exile. The worse tho situation grows the more crudely and unwisely does he use his weapons of repression. But they no longer repress. The tide of irritation and dislike is rising higher daily all about him. Bv compariflon with him neoplo look 'back upon his father, as aa ideal liberal ruler, and they began with so much significance to call him a martyr to political liberty that his son has been obliged to prohibit usual demonstrations in honor of his emancipation cf the serfs. - All efforts to bring Russia back into the barbaric despotism of .Nicholas have ignominiously failed, and at last the Czar is face to face with an openly hostile nation. What remains of his career mav be full of strange surprises. Ho may turn in despair 4ltfc fin n rl 4 rm i j 13 1 t. war. More likely he will carry on -his single-handed tight with revolution doggedly to the end, and be overwhelmed by it. so to speak, with his boots on; but it is clear that the contest is too nueven to last much longer. All Lurope is watching to see his assassination or his llight, .lost meanwhile in a maze of wonder and appreneusion as to wnat wilt ioiiow. Only events of the tirst magnitude will now di vert attention away from the colossal crisis maturing in RiiHsia, and just now there are no signs ot these events. . The Grand Duke Michael Michaelovitch. second son of the Grand Duke Michael, and aidde-camp of the Czar, has been ordered to the Caucasus for three years. This is due to tho opposition of tho Czar to tho projected marriage between his cousin and a daughter ot Count ignatiett. ' j CER3IAN ARMY REFORMS. Incomes Necessary to Secure CommissionsTroops to Wear Caps of American Pattern. Berlin, April ?. It appears that Emperor William's recent order with reference to commissioned officers in the army does not increase the pay, but lowers tho scale of private incomes necejsary to secure commissions. Hereafter asnirants for commis sions in the rilles, foot artillery and pioneers need have privato incomes of no more thau forty-fivo marks monthly; those who seek commissions in the tieldartillerv, seventy-live marks monthly, and in the cavalry, one hundred and fifty marks monthly. Marked changes are abont being made in the uniform of the army. Conspicuous amoug them will be the abolition of the famous Prussian military cap and 'the adoption of one made from an American pattern. The stand-up collar is : also doomed, lheseand other innovations are to follow the introduction of smokeless powder, and are intended to add still lurther'to tho invisibility of the soldiers in action. Even the picturesque hussar and other gaily-dressed regiments will have to be re-clothed. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The Emperor of Abyssinia at Last Consents to Stop the Traffic In Slaves. Home, April 7. Emperor Menelek. of Abyssinia, has written a letter to .Prime Minister Crispi authorizing Italy , to represent him at the Brussels anti-slavery congress, and affirming the intention of Ethiopia to follow tho example of civilized Christian nations and to repress the slave trade. The letter asks that Italy allow tho free passage through her territory of arms required by Abyssinia to liht the Dervishes. Meichacba has arrived at Massowah. He is accredited by Emperor Menelek as Ethiopian resident, and will cooperate with tho Italian commander in his administration of the Tijrer provinces. Emperor Menelek will withdraw from the Tiger provinces, his enemies having surrendered. The province is unable to supply provisions for a large force of troops. A Girl's Long Slnmber. Berlin, April 7. At Ebingen, in Wurtemburg, Maria Doerthinz, tho daughter of a wealthy farmer, has lain in a continuous slumber since March 6, when she retired as usual, though complaining of a headache. The girl's respiration is regular, though weak, and her breath can only be detected by the use of a mirror. Her face is unnaturally pale, but retains its former roundness, whilo her limbs have become wasted. She is fed three times daily on eggs and milk, no ditliculty being met in forcing small quantities of this nourishment down her throat. Several physicians have attempted fruitlessly to break the trance, and now the royal physician. Dr. Bnrkhardt, of Stuttgart, has interested himself in the case. Sportsmen Reproached by Stanley. Lonion, April 8. A dispatch to the Times from Alexandria says: "Stanley reproaches tho British East Africa Company for allow in c American and Kussian sportsmen to exhaust the resources of their territory, which, he says, will be required some day for railway laborers merely to decorate their stuccoed walls with furs, hides

and horns, without any return. It is better, ho says, to allow the district to fall into the hands of Germauy, which will not permit English buccaneers iu her territory. He had hoped thatGermany would prevent a single shot from being tired for cruel sport." . . i Ex-Dictator Snt to l'rlnm. Lima, Peru, April 7. Senor Pierola, the ex-dictator, finding that he stood, no chance of winning in the coming presidential elections, attempted to stir up riots' in this city. He was promptly committed to prison by the government, whose action i has the entire support of public oniuion. -which refuses to tolerate any more such lawlessness. Pierola has withdrawn his candidature, and an agreement has since been atlected between the other two candidates, with the sanction of tho government. It is believed, in consequence of this agreement, that the election, to be held ou Sunday next, will proceed quietly. Cretan Churches Pillaged by Turks. Caxoia, Crete, April 7. Rodies of Turkish troops have pillaged Christian churches and insulted Christians in the province of Candia. At the request of tho foreigu consul, Chakir Pasha, the Governor has ordered an inquiry to be made into the out

rages. The mixed commissions will inquire as to the extent of the damages the Chris tians have suffered, and the Turks will be compelled to compensate them when the amount is ascertained. Portuguese Ministry of Education. Lisuon, April 7. A decree has been issued creating a special Ministry of Education, with Senhor Arroyo at its bead. Among the functions of the new ministry will be the regulation of the right of public meeting, and the empowering of officials to prohibit entertaiuments at which institutions or persons may be attacked.

He was met at the railway station by Sir Evelyn Baring, the British minister, and a number of prominent Egyptian officials, who welcomed him to the city. THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. She Is a Perfect Thoroughbred and Aston ished Nw Yorkers. New York World. Neither the good clothes nor the coat-of-arras worn by the Duchess of Marlborough have interested the ladies of New York as moch as the slender proportions of her figure. At her first public appearance in tho Metropolitan Opera-house, tho night Mmc. Patti made her debut, an exclamation of astonishment ran around the horseshoe. "How slight!" "A perfect thoroughbred!" "What has she done!" "Where is her tiesM" is a sample of tho wondering inquiry that passed from critio to critic. I'he Duchess is slight and a perfect thoroughbred in bearing and outline; her tlesh has vanished, and tho things she has done, or rather the things she has refrained from doinp, entitle her to be classed among the heroines of society. When she married the Dnko of Marlborough she was more than plump. Sbo tilled out every crease and wrinkle that escaped her bodice-maker; her breath was short, her step considerably heavier than the rustle of angels' wings, and the slightest exei tiondistressedber. She consulted an up-town adipose doctor, who. after a careful diagnosis, pronounced her case chronic. Then she was plain Mrs. llamersley, but a very pretty woman predisposed to take up considerable room in tho world. "Lady Jane," the Doctor informed her, 'was shadowy by comparison to her possibilities." This revelation horrified the pretty widow, who at once offered superior financial inducement and pledged herself to carry out minutely whatever prescription he warranted to relieve her. A bargain was closed, and the treatment began at once, and has been religiously adhered to ever since. Here are some of the restrictions: Not a morsel of bread, cake, rolls or pastry. . No tea, coffee, chocolate or sweet wine. No potatoes, peas, rice, carrots, turnips, macoaroni, cheese, butter, cream, custard, jellies or sweets. , Not a drop of ice-water. No warm baths. No flannel, and only enough clothing to keep from taking cold. No bedroom heat. Not a drop of any liquid food at meals. In place of bread she bad fruit, a section of apple or orange; some fresh grapes, berries, cherries or stewed fruit being used where ordinarily one craves a bit of bread 4pr a swallow of water. Her diet was limited to two meals a day, breakfast at 10 and dinner at 7, with the following bill of faro to select from: Hare, lean meats, game aud poultry, soft boiled eggs, sea foods, toast, lettuce, spinach, celery, cresses, fruits. She had half a gallon of hot water to drink every day, with lemon juice in it to tako away the Hat taste. Cold water was denied her, and ales, frappes, champagne and claret strictly forbidden. Sbo was even forced to forego the luxury of bathing in water, in place of which she had sponge and vapor baths. Every few days she took a fast, allowing the system to consume the adipose tissue. While no limit was put upon the pleasure of driving or riding, she was asked to select the roughest, rockiest roads and to walk from hve to ten miles a day in the open air. This practice of self-denial the Duchess of Marlborough has persisted in for the last two years, and to-day she is perhaps the handsomest woman of her age in New York society. She weighs about 140 pounds, her eyes are bright, her complexion is as clear as a school-girl's and she has the carriage of a cadet and the health of a child of nature. Considering the fact that Blenheim Castlo is constantly filled with company and that the Duke is a gourmet and something of a gourmand, this beautiful American deserves much credit for her forbearance, even if it is the price of her beauty. Insane Over an Actor. Nr.w Yokk, April 7. Miss Harriet E. Collin, an heiress and the grand-daughter of the late Judge Collin, of Cincinnati, O., was brought before Judge Cullen. in Brooklyn, to-day, to determine her mental conditiou. She has been, for about a year, confined in a private asylum, at Amitvville, L. I., on account of her eccentric behavior toward Kyrle Bellew, the actor. A decision that Miss Coffin was insane was arrived at by the jury. At the asylum she is said to be very violent at times. She has an incomo of $2,00 a year. 1IU Muscle Alive with Trichina. Nr.w York, April 7. -Vincenso Paternoster, an Italiau laborer, is on a cot at the Ward's Island Hospital suffering from trichinaisis. The man is only twenty-four years old. and his muscles are fairly alive with trichina. They are the result of his eating some pork, almost raw, over two weeks ago. He will probably die. Paternoster is now suffering intense agony. Opiates are giveu to deaden the nain and tonics to keep up his strength. lie has no friends or relatives in this country, so far as known. Ilallot-lteform Helps Republicans. St. Loula Globe-Democrat. The fact that the Republican vote in Khode Ihland this year under the Austra lian ballot was relatively larger than last year under the old scheme will furnish the stalwart Democrats of the country with another argument against the system. The trouble with political, leforms of all sorts is that they help the Republicans and hurt the Democrats.

SistaresI- Sons Sbcri $150,000 A Like Shortage at Detroit Tw I ears AgoOther Business Troubles. New York, April 7. Ueorge K. Sistaro & Sons' failure was announced on the Stock Exchange to-day. The firm is one of tho most prominent in the street. A member of tne firm says that the failure was caused by a heavy defalcation in their Philadelphia office. Thetirm gave the following statement: "Douglas Hilger was manager of Geo. K. Sistares & Sons' Philadelphia office. That office was found to be short $150,000. Mr. Hilger died Saturday. This and Ihe Detroit defalcation of A. M. Stanton for $150,000, a few years ago, caused tho A dispatch from Philadelphia 6ays: "The only member of the firm of George K. Sistare & Sons who has resided in Philadelphia was Mr. Douglas Hilger, who died at his hqnie here about a week ago, after two weeks' illness. At the time of his death there was quiet talk on the street that Mr. Hilger' s accounts with the firm were heavily overdrawn, but nopublicannouncement of the aflair had been mado until the receipt of the dispatches f romNew York to-day announcing the failure of the firm in consequence of a defalcation in the Philadelphia otlico. At the v office of the firm, No. 115 South Fifth street, this afternoon, nothing could be learned regarding the matter. A couple of young clerks were the only persons in the office, and they informed all inquirers that thev had been instructed Dy the firm in New York to giveno information to the public beyond the statement that the firm bad suspended payment. They referred all newspaper reporters to the New York oflice for information." iSi stare & Sons had been in business forty years. A member of the tirm 6tatedto-niffnt that the defalcation of the Philadelphia representative of the house amounted to over $100,000. He would not say how much more. The shortage, he said, was known before Hilger's death, which occurred March 29. He would not say whether proceedings had been taken against the defaulter, nor whether Hilger had committed suicide, nor what was the canse of his death. No statement of the firm's affairs could be made until to-morrow. The firm expected to resume shortly, as thev had no liabilities outside of the Philadelphia office. Street rumors place the firm's liabilities at $500,000, and the defalcation at about the same figure. 1 wo years ago A. M. Stanton; the Detroit manager for the firm, caused it a loss of $150,000 by falsifying his accounts. but the tirm recovered from this blow and continued to enjoy a high credit. v all-street men generally, ina talking of the suspension, expressed a decided incredulity that the defalcation of $150,000 could alone account for the disaster. Tho firm has always enjoyed a splendid reputation among investors. No shadow has ever been cast upon its methods, or upoa anv member of the firm. It has passed safely through moro than one financial nnnic. and no one on the Stock Exchange, it is reported, had any suspicion mat disaster was among xne possi mimes at the present time. The firm has done an active business, of an investment nature. in city and railroad bonds, as well as of a speculative character, and had branches up town and in Philadelphia. Caleb H. Needles, who acted as manager of the office of Sistares Sons, in Philadel phia, stated to-night that he understood that the late Mr. Hilger speculated in stocks through Philadelphia brokers and lost a large amount of money, exactly how much he did not know, but he thought it would reacn the sum stated in the New York dispatches, $50,000. The family indignantly deny the rumor that he committed suicide. He was ill for two weeks previous to his death and during the last three days of his life he was unsconscious from the effects of his disease. A reputable physician who attended him during His illness certified that he died of typho.d fever. Grain Broker in Trouble. St. Louis, April 7. Moses Fraley, the well-known broker, is again in financial trouble. He has been the heaviest "short'' in May wheat in this market for a month past, and to-day the course of the market proved too much for him. A failure to respond to margin calls was the first intimation the trade had that ho was in trouble. He had laid down on his contracts, as be had twice before, refusing to carry them any further. Mr. Fraley had been a stroug "bull" on the market, and a firm believer in high prices. As the market did not go his way he suddenly turned bearish. The market has been going against him. aud culminated, to-day, in an advance of 2 cents. Ihe news of the failure caused considerable excitement on 'Change. It was quietly rumored earlv in the day that Mr. Fraley was in trouble, it being whispered tnat a cnecK of onlv 850 on nim was thrown out of a certain bauk. But Mr. Fraley appeared on tho floor and sold Mav wheat all the way np the line of U ac tuations to 0 cents, for a time, but when' he failed to respond to the v heavy margin calls that poured in from New York and Chicago and thiscity.it was then gen erally known that he was in the mire. The margins to-d:iy run up on him to the amount of $210,000. This was more than he could stand, and he laid down his contracts and refused to carry them any longer. He came on tho tloor and made a desperate fight to keep the market down, but it went a gainst him. the advance being2 cents. Mr. Fraley has for some time held the stock of ft 1 - t-A casn wncai m mis maraer., amounting now to about 1.280.00O bushels. He is idiort. however, at least 2,000,000 bushels in his transactions in futures. It is exneoted that he will settle at about 79 cents. Dur ing the Fraley trouble the wildnt. fiTcitemcnt nrevailed on Thnntrrt S.'W - MM 1 ing liko those of Comancho Indians at times. Mr. Fraley was seen, but he had nothing to say iu explanation, except that he had been caught between trades and could not stand tho call of almost a quarter ot a million in margins, jie plainly showed evidences of nervons excitement. as he walked here and there in his office and read the shower of telegrams that were pounne in upon mm.

Comfortably Fixed on a Minnesota Farm- . One Evidence of Sound Judgment Kansas City Times. Mr. J. Oakley, the owner of extensive stone quarries at Kansas City, Kan., mco owned the farm in Pennsylvania which made Coal Oil Johnny" rich and famous. Kepnrts have been Moating around the. circles of the daily papers that Coal Oil Johnny" had become a begnar and a tramp. Mr. Oakley is familiar with the circumstances, and he denies the report most emphatically. That 'Coal Oil Johnny" is not reduced to penury is not the fault of that eccentric individual. The stories of tho purchases of horses and carriages and presenting them to coachmen, of his giving porters at hotels diamond pins, of suppers costing thousiuds of dollars will be remembered until coal oil isa forgotten product, liissndden elevation from driving mules at a salary of $20 per month tothetitleof millionaire, by tho death of his mother, who owned one of the best oil farms in Pennsylvania, will sound like a fairy talo to future generations. At one time "Coal Oil Johnny" wss worth $3,000,000 and he had an income of a thousand dollars a day from oil weila. While his Minnesota farm will not yield a royal income like the lands once owned in Pennsylvania, vet Mr. Oaklev savs that they are worth perhaps $150,000. 4,Coal Oil Johnny" hpd a guardian appointed at tho request of iiis undo, and it is due to the action of the courts that any property remains. Ho is allowed $150 permonth.and is as happy on his farm as ho was when traveling over the country chartering steamboats and railroad trains, purchasing hotels and managing miustrel troupes. It is said that there is just ono thing in the world that 'Coal Oil Johnny" never invested in, and that is a daily newspaper. liaising Street Potatoes. Farm and Fireside. The usual way is to mark out furrows four feet apart, in warm soil and exposure, to put good barn-yard compost thickly in the furrows, then ridgo up the soil over the manure bv means of plow or hoe, and set the plants about two feet apart along tho top of tjio ridge. The operation of platiting can be done most safely as follows: Select good, stout, well-rooted plants. Dip their roots in water, then distribute along tho row and Immediately plant by inserting the plant into a hole made into the center of theridce with theindex lingerand pressing the soil tinnly about the roots so that a cup-like depression is left, with the plant standing lirmly in tho center. A little water may be poured into this enp niterwards. I have frequently used "'fertilizer" (some good special potato manure) with very excellent success. Common, irood cultivation is given.
