Neb., roller mill, elevator and warehouse, one of the largest plants in the State, were destroyed bj tire. The loss will amount to .4O,00O. with $2O,tHi0 insurance on building and machinery. The mill has Iwen idle since the high water in June took part of the dam out, but the steam plant was used to generate electricity f(,r the city lights, and the city will be in darkness for some time. Almut 3. mo busluh of wheat in the elevator also burned.

A number of deaths have been reported. At Caldwell. Kan.. James H. Sherman, n relative of (Jen. Sherman and a former comrade of Col. Cody and Wild Hill, has been acquitted of the murder of Mayor Meagher, of Caldwell, twenty-one years ago. It was the last of the cowbov battles. The Committee on Nominations presented its recommendations at the opening of Thursday morning's session of the deep waterways convention in Cleveland, Ohio, for the re-election of the old officers and the election of seventen members of the Executive Hoard. The report was promptly adopted. A great sensation has been caused at St. Joseph, Mo., by the mysterious disappearance of 10-year-old Maud Steidel, who stepped out of her mother's home the other night and has not been seen since. The mother of the girl openly accuses Dominiok Wagner with having spirited her daughter away. At Milwaukee, Wis., the grain elevator of Paine Bros, was destroyed by tire, together with 40.000 bushels of wheat and ,r0,OOO bushels of barley. The loss on the grain will be ::b nt $30.000 and the lo s n ti e elevator i?s; If a l out N.oo.. All fully covern. by insurance. The building was owned by the Martin estate. At Norton, Kan., Morgan Heatou made a desperate attempt to kill J. M. Crai a Plattsmouth, Neb., banker, and failin turned his revolver on Cashier U . I. Shoemaker, of the Norton Slate Hank. The bullet directed at the latter also went wide of its mark, and Heaton was finally arrested. Family affairs caused the trouble. Three women, Mrs. inner, Mrs. Frimwood. and Mrs. Dcitrich. who were charged with assaulting and tarring and feathering J. Wolmi. a teacher, at St. Cloud. Minn., paid lines and costs aggregating $.". Attorney Reynolds, who defended the women, made an effort to prove th conditions in the school district were o bad that the women were justified in their conduct, but the court ruled out all the testimony except that bearing simply o:i the assault. Fortj- passengers, many of them women, who started across the lake from Chicago for St. Joe on the steamer Puritan Sunday morning returned to Chicago in the afternoon because the boat had been unable to make a landing on the other side of the lake. When they came down the gang plank after their trip they were about as seasick a looking lot of passengers as one would see in many a day. Most of them declared it had been a rough voyage and the rough sea rolle! the boat so that many never expected to land alive. Fire in the Minneaiolis Chamber of Commerce for a time threatened the destruction of the building. The Harnes were, however, confined to the upper floors, although the entire building was drenched. The Chamber of Commerce is a handsome five-story stone structure, at Third street and Fourth avenue south, two blocks from the milling district. It was erected in lNSi at a cost of $lNO.Ooo. It is the center of the grain trade, the Corn Exchange and Flour Ex change occupying adjacent corners. The loss is estimated at $30.000 on the building and $30.tiOO on the contents. The insurance on the building is $12."i.OOO. The following notice posted at Pocatello, Idaho, has brought forth indignant protests: Department of Interior. United States Indian Service.

TKTKR, 'Tinted States Indian Agent, Fort Hall Agency." The Fishers, who have considerable influence with the Indians, recently circulated a petition for the removal of Agent Tetcr. Passengers at Sjiokane, Wash., from Trail Creek. IS. C, refiort a horrible crime in that mining camp. Morris O'Connor, a prospector owning several claims, took a mining ex.wit named Cook to look at them. He and Cook camped out on a mountain, and during the night O'Connor, who had been drinking heavily, arose and, taking a pick, drove it throng!. Cook's brain, pinning his head to the ground. lie then giascd an ax and finished his bloody deed by hacking his victim in a horrible manner. The mutilated body was found the next morning by boine miners, who organized a posse and soon captured O'Connor. It is thought O'Connor committed the deed while crazy from drhik. Cook represented a rich syndicate purchasing mines. A thief committed a loId robbery on a Wabash train the other n'ght as it topped nt the Archer avenue depot, in Chicago. A young and well-dressed man sprang on the steps of the rear coach just as the traiu was slowing up and, brushing past

the porter, made his way inside. The first compartment was occupied by Mrs. George Mack, whose husband was in the smoking car. The robber forced his way in and, roughly seizing Mrs. Mack, pushed her to one side. lie took her valise and purse and turned to leave, but Mrs. Mack seized his coat and drew him back. The man struck her twice in the face and she sank to the floor, but still clung to him. lie dragged her to the platform and when she commenced to shout for help he struck her again in the face. As she relaxed her hold he jumped from the train and escaped. Typhoid fever seems to be epidemic in Chicago. Forty-two deaths have occurred in the last eleven days, out of a probable total of nearly one thousand cases and physicians and health department attaches ascribe the cause diversely to the condition of the water supply or to the impure milk and cream sold by dealers up to the time of the department crusade against them. Health Commissioner Kerr denies the existence of an epidemic on the basis of the fact that only three cases were reported to the department Wednesday. But, the Evening Post says, the fact that there were twenty-nine deaths from the disease at the County Hospital last week and that there are eighty cases there now has a far stronger bearing on the question of the epidemic than the report of only three new cases. It is well known that physicians are careless about reporting cases of typhoid and even the hospitals frequently refuse to make reports of the number of patients and of their diseases as required by the city ordinance.

SOUTHERN. C. Phillips, a member of the HaltieldMcCoy gang in West Virginia, is dying of blood iKUsoning caused by a bullet Wound He is said to have killed six men.

Gov. Culberson, of Texas, has kept his threat to call an extra stssioii of the Legi. hituro if necessary to stop the proposed C;,rbott-Fitzsimmons prizefight set for Oct. ol at Dallas. The Governor has been indefatigably looking up the laws on the subject and. with Attorney General Crane's help, made an exhaustive study of the question. Thursday evening every member of the Cabinet was in consultation with the Governor until 11:30. At midnight the Governor issued a proclamation calling a special session of the legislature. As the reason for his action he says that, under the present condition of the law. the tight managers are lialde to pull off the tight while the courts are rowing over it; that Chief Justice of the Court of Criminal Appeals Hurt has ruled against the State, anil now there is a mandamus case pending in the Supreme Court that may go in an entirely different line, raising a conflict between the two highest courts in the State. In order to settle all possible contention he issued the call. WASHINGTON. A Washington dispatch says: Spain must crush the Cuban rebellion during the next three mouths or submit to international interference in the interest of humanity and commerce. That is the significance of a series of conferences just held between Secretary Olney and the Spanish minister, Senor Dupuy de Imie. The United States has agreed for the present to Keep hands out of the trouble, but this is accompanied by a tacit warning that unless Spain carries out her promise of suppressing the insurrection and restoring order to Cuba within reasonable time she must expect the United Stales Government to pursue a quite different iolicy. In other words, Spain is to be given one chance to demonstrate her ability to rule the island, and. failing in this, the chances are the United States Government will take the leadership in international intervention, with the complete autonomy or perhaps the independence of Cuba as the objective point. A year ago Commissioner of Pensions I .ochre u said that the limit had probably been reached in the number of pensions, or rather in the amount to be yearly appropriated for pensions, and that for two or three years the payments would remain about the same. It was his opinion that there would be a slight reduction in the number of pensioners on account of deaths, but that the allowance of new pensions, with back pay and arrears, would probably keep the amount about even. While the amount of money paid for pensions will not be materially different there has been addetl to the pension rolls during the last year alout n thousand names in -excess of those that have drop ted out, so mere has been an increase instead of a decrease. There have been a great many outstanding pension claims adjusted during the year, and that accounts for the large increase. The year has not been very fatal to pensioners, the death rate being less than would be anticipated at the time of life at which the veterans of the late war have arrived. Though the retirement of Lieut. (Jen. Schoiicld did not take place oliicially until Sunday noon, he practically relinquished command of the army at 4 o'clock .Saturday afternoon when lie Hosed his o-llico in the War Department.
