taken in from 2(X),000 to $3-50,000 and j
given' notiung in return. The victims;
were found amoajr ail classes of people.
From facts already in ixgetjsion of the
authorities, the ei-heiue well parallels
that of the great "Fund" swindle, which
was. broken about five years agct." There
are still two wen at liberty, they having
disappeared several weeks ago, and it is
believed they got away with uiost of the
funds. For more than six months let-!
ters have been received from all parts of
the country by the postoffice and . city
authorities, protesting that the company
was not what it was represented to be ;
that it was collecting money and making
no loans, Inspector Stuart had ; been
working vn the case for four, months.
He fouud ' the concern . had agents in;
every state in the Union, who were sell
ing . the $20,000,000 worth of stock the
company had for sale. These agents
were sent circulars and documents show
ing 'the association " to be gilt-edged.
When Inspector Stuart' took'charge of
the icase, Lewis F. Mortimer, .general
manager and secretary, was apparently
the responsible m-.iu, and handled the
cash received . in large amounts every
dayl,. . Stuart visited the company's
office ; frequently, disguised as a letter
carrier, ' in order to- secure evidence.
several weeks ago Mortimer disappeared
and todav, having waited in vain for his
return, Stuart decided l- secure tlie

Sew 'LtsBox, Wis., Aug. 11. -Camp
Douglae is in ruins, A re was started
this evening by the explosion of a lamp
in BnffCiro's saloon. It spread rapidly,
burning several business houses and the
Camp Douglas hotel. It then crossed
the Omaha tracks and burned the Com
mercial hotel and the lepot, and went
on in the residence district. Nine sol
diers, -who were camped near by. as
sembled and succeeded in saving nearly
all tlte goods in the hotels and stores and
most-of the business part of the village.
Many-dwellings were burned. The wind
blew'f rom the south and kept the fire
moving very rapidly- When engines
arrived from Mauston and Toman, they
could do little. ' The losses aggregate
$150,000 with small insurance. The tel
egraph wires passing through the town
were destroyed and the railroad tracks
badly warped.
A Tramp Becomex a Karon.
Sasta Cecz, Aug. 11. A general ro
mance has just culminated here. For
three or four months two Germans have
been living here very much like tramps,
with only a miserable little shanty in
Blackburn gulch for a home. One .had
inquired often, at the postoffice for a
letter for Wolfgang Bellestrom. At last
the "letter that he looked for" came
Friday, the 7th inst. It was addressed
to Count Wolfgang Ballestpom and was
from the German consul at San Fran
cisco, . announcing the death of Wolf
gang's father near Berlin, Germany, and
the inheritance of the estates and title
by Wolfgang, who is the eldest son.

Kin
ley Kill Did It.
London, Aug. 10. The Si. James Ga
zette this morning prints the following:
"Judging from the returns issued by
the board of trade, it looks as though we
have already reached the end of good
times. The great decline in exports
from Great Britain is undoubtedly due
to the operation of the McKinley law in
the United States. We have been told
that the act would eventually prove a
misfortune to the United States, but its
immediate object is to hit foreign manu
factures, especially those of Great Brit
ain, and it is plainly evident this object
has been attained."
A Severe Storm.
Leon, la., Aug. A eevere storm last
ing an hour and a half struck Leon and
Decatur counties yesterday. The opera

and trees were broken, and blown away
at Davis City, where 8000 people are at
tending camp-meeting. Two large trees
struck the tabernacle, crushing it to the
ground and demolishing seats and stands.
An alarm was given in time, and all es
caped. .

nately there was no wind and the lire
was confined to the factory which will

thought by Kelly, Dunne & Co., that
the fire was of an incendiary origin.

DEATH OP J. . BU88EI.L LOWELL.
Trie Well-Known Poet and Kditor Passes
Away.
Boston, Aug. -12. James Russell
Lowell, who died early this morning, had
impaired health ever since his return to
this country in 1885. He never inquired
as to the nature of his malady. From,
inquiry - it is ascertained that gouf
affected him almost constantly of late
and that be had sciatica, hemorrhages,
and latterly a severe type of liver disease
in turn affected him. Mrs. Burnett, his
only child, has been with him con
stantly. She is his only nefcr .relative
except a brother, whose whereabouts
are unknown.
DEKOItNCED AS THIEVES.
The Mayor and City Council of Kanna
City Have a Xarrow Escape.
Kiksas City, Kan., Aug. 11. The
mayor and tity council barely escaped
vengeance tonighf. at the hands of a
crowd of 800 taxpayers. The excitement
arose over a proposition to the city coun
cil to purchase the plant of the Electric
Light and Power company for $3-10,000.
There was much public indignation, it
being believed improper inducements
were offered to the council. At a mass
meeting this evening, presided over by
the Hon. J. D. Scroggs, the head of the
Kansas City, Kan. bar, a committee of
fifteen were appointed to present a pro
test. : The crowd joined the committee,
and as the march proceeded the excite
ment grew until the mutterings of the
crowd culminated in shouts of "Lynch
them," and "Hang them." The council
hastily adjourned. When the crowd
found the chamber empty another mass
meeting was held. ' The mayor and
council were denounced as thieves. Af
ter several speeches the crowd dispersed.
Dr. Llndsley Paane8 Away.
Dr. Lindsley died at 1 o'clock this
morning without regaining conscious
ness. ' Throughout the,: entire day the
attending physicians entertained very
little hope of his recovery, although it
was thought that if a few hours more
passed the injured gentleman might
possiby take a, turn for the better, but
unfortunately the much-looked-for
change in his condition failed to take
place, and he expired at the above-mentioned
hour surrounded by his family
and friends. He apparently passed
away without pain, and failed to recog
nize any of the. anxious ones grouped
around his bedside.

N'KWSPAPKRS HAVE RIG UTS.
Tue Supreme Court of Montana Scores a
-Too Officious Magistrate.
Helena, Mont., Aug. 11. The su
preme courtof -Montana today vindicated
the right of a newspaper to publish the
news. Judge McIIattoii, of Butte, re
cently hauld up Editor J. A. McKnight,
of the Helena Journal, for publishing in
a gossipy article the words of "an old
Montanian"' to the effei.-t that tho Davis
will contestants could not get un impar
tial trial before' any judge or jury in
Butte, where the vast .estate lies, and
from which it would be removed if the
contest is successful. The court held
that contempt of court is confined al
most exclusively to acts that interrupt
the progress of the business of t he court.
The decision says :
We are passing upon a question of law
as between the rights of citizens and the
power of the court to summarily fm
prison upon a charge of contempt of
court. The iower is given to the court
to enforce obedience and respect to the
authority of the court. It is not to en
force sentimental respect, for that must
be gained by other means, and will come
to a court where law and order is admin
istered with able, fearless and impartial
fidelity."
The decision is quite a sweeping one,
as the article certainly went to the limit
in its reflections on the court The pris
oner was ordered discharged.

London, ,Aug. 12. The Jjiilt) Neucs
this morning commenting on the action
of Russia prohibiting the export of rye,
says it is reassuring to learn 'the crops
promises to yield an exceptonal'y large
harvest. Farmers in America the
paper declare are masters of the situa
tion and it is to be hoped they will use
their strength - unmercifully in making
corners in the necessaries of life, uever
laudible and at the present juncture it
would be little short of tiendifh.
