St. Peterrburo, Nov. 11 A horrible story of cannibalism comes Irom iiess arabia.

In her absence A'vker- nian killed the peasant's babv, sacked its blood and devoured part of its body. As the peasant reentered the hut, she saw Akkerman trying to kill her 3 year old girl. The mother tried to defend her off spring, but tbe giantess thrust her aside and killed the little girl with a bludgeon. Tbe peasant, left a ravmg maniac, tried to kill herself. Tbe neighbors, after a desperate struggle, in which several were severely hurt, managed, to overcome the giantess, and tied her with ropes. On tbe way to jail tbe populace tried to lynch her, but she waa finally landed in tbe lock np. Mysteriuns Mower of Insects. Oaudalajara, Mexico, Nov. 11 A correspondent at Mazamitia says that tbe inhabitants of a small place known as La Puerta Zapatora, between Mazamitia and Zapatlay, were thrown into tbe utmost ODSternation recently by the appearance of a heavy, lowering cloud, wbicb bung over their lut e village. The terror in creased when it burst, and amid torrents ot rain there lei 1 myriads of little insects. such as bad never been Eeen in tbat country. Special religious services were held in all the cburcbee, and all the in babitants flocked together in what they considered their only place of catetv. It was after ward learned tbat tbe same phe nomenon bad been repeated two days later at the teame place and for a distance of three leagues aronnd about, and that the people were becoming accustomed to tbe curious occurrence.

Tbe bullet passed right through ' the body from tbe ngbt armDit to tbe left breast, and dropped out into tbd coat, but strangely did not touch tbe heart or any bone. Brackle was arrested with the smoking revolver ia his hand and brought to jail here. Strassner lingered in great agony and died of Internal hemorrhages.

Pritcb ard, Republican nominee for sheriff, was opposed by Isaac McKenney, indepen dent Republican, who was defeated for tbe Domination by a small majority. The canvass was very bitter.

Spangle, Wash., Nov. 11 An attempt to murder a family by poisoning tbe fam ily milk cow' waB made here yesterday. The cow was the property of W. 6. Rich ardson, a jeweler ot Spangle, and but for the fact tbat it was discovered to be sick and poison ionnd in the feed before the milk was used, tbe entire family would have been poisoned.

Paris, Nov. 11 Louise Michel bas been interviewed in London by tbe cor respondent of tbe Eclair in regard to tbe last explosion. She said tbat tbe police sought to do evil only that thev might get money, and if such retribution over took tbem ottener tbey might tire of bunting down honest men. The whole affair was due to tbe stupidity of the po lice, who thought tbey could get more money 'it by putting up jobs witb bombs tbey could frighten tbe cowardly bour geoisie into believing tbat tbe police were tbeir only saviors. Tbe Eclair states that Michel has been engaged to address tbe workingmen'd conference in Chicago. Shoocins; In Allen. TaCOMA, WashnNov. 11. At Allen, on North bay, last Monday, John Vincent, while under the influence of liquor, fired three revolver shots into tbe street. One struck a 6. A. R. veteran named Phillips in the shoulder, ana came out at Dis back. Another pierced Mrs. Puillips' drees, not injuring her. Philips will probably die.

As disclosed by last Tuesday's election. the states of Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming are at least doubllul, and any addition at this time to tbe doubtful list would be of Ke publican states All of tbe six states named as doubtful are at present repre sented by Republican senators, so that all of them must be retained for the Re publicans to remain as strong two years hence as now, providing, ot course, the whirligig of politics does not bring about a change in their favor that will knock to pieces all ordinary political calcula tions. The senate Marcb 4 next will con sist of 44 Democrats, 40 Republicans and 4 Populists. An Inhuman Tramp.

Mr. Newton Clark, a former resident of Hood River, but now living in Portland, is id the city. ' The Democrats have seen red a victory, and dow will oome the after consideration of a division of the patronage. Miss Rase Stannas, the celebrated elocu tionist, will give an entertainment in the Methodist church next Tuesday evening. The cases of diphtheria reported a few days ago are convalescing, and there is not the leant danger of the disease spreading, Recorder Menefee had his judicial ermine oo this afternoon, and tried a civil c.tse. We understand a demurrer to the complaint was sustaioed. Barnyards are almost depopulated of roosters. There has been a preat demand for them to crow over the Democratic vic tory last Tuesday. Mr. Geo. H. Thompson, who has spent the laBt few months iu Southern California for the benefit of bis health, returned last eveniug very much improyed. There are quite a number of strangers in the city to-day from the country. They are doing their marketing, and learning the news of the presidential election. Mr. Wm. McKenzie, of Tyuh ridge, says the farmers are busy plowing and putting in a large crop of grain. Fall wheat is good and cattle are in prime condition. Reports from tbe cattle range in the countv are very encouraging. Grass is growing, and horses, sheep and horned cat- tie are in prime condition.

Live Stock Journal: Live stock raising is a business, and the man who would make a real success of it now-a-days must be a good business man.

There are a thousand little details of the business to be carefully looked after to make the ranch do its best.

Tbe "oldest inhabitant" is at his usual vocation ot prophesying about tbe weather. He thinks there will be a hard winter, for tbe squirrels are hoarding a large store of nuts and other animals are making prepara tion for severe weather. - Then, again, after Cleveland's election in 1884, tbe winter was remarkable for heavy falls of snow, and tbe same must happen this season to make his tory repeat itself.
