A NERVY BOY. A Fourteen Year-old Boy Pro- tects his Father. A Place where Night Riders get Their Deserts. Doniphan, Mo., April 15.—For some time past there have been ru- mors that the Bald Knobbers were reorganizing, but the people of this, Ripley ceunty, have paid little at- tention to the reports from the fact that they were not molested when that famous band was in operation before. But during the past two or three weeks several farmers living near this city nave been receiving warnings telling them to mend their ways or they would be visited by regulators who would punish them. As the men who were warned were among the best men in the neigh- borhood the matter was looked up- on asa foolish joke, and no atten- tion was paid to the letters. Ephriam Holland, an old farmer living about a mile east of this city, received a warning, but was not aware of having violated any laws of morality he gave the matter no further thought. Last Saturday night he was called to the door about 12 o'clock, and as he started to respond he thought of his warning and re- fused to open the door. The night riders at once proceed- ed to break the door down and force their way into the house. Mr. Hol- land is an old man of 70 years, and while he offered feeble resistance, he was no match for the three masked men who came into theroom. He was thrown to the floor and his as- sailants began beating and kicking him. His 14-year-old boy, Willie, was aroused by the struggle and took a shotgun from the wall, firing into the group that was beating his fath- er. Ore man fell dead at the first fire, and then one of the outlaws at- tempted to fire at the boy, but he was not quick enough, for Willie fir- ed and the Bald Knobber fell to the floor mortally wounded. The third man fled to the yard, where a fourth held the horses, and the two men rode away, leaving their dead and wounded companions in the house. The wounded man managed to craw] out of the house, where he lay groaning, while the family bolted the broken door and remained quiet fearing a return of marauders. Just at daylight the groans ceased and the man died. When assistance came it was found that the man who was killed instantly was the son of a near neighbor, a well-to-do farmer named Edward Gillam, while the man who had died outside was Alex- ander Gatewood, who had borrea bad reputation in the community for several years. The affair had caused much excite- ment here and efforts are being made to find the other two men who wers the assailants, but they were not recognized. The War is Over. New York, April 15.—The Her- ald’s Syracuse (N. Y.) special tele- graph in part is as follows: “I have verified a report of a very intesting nature which has materialized into a fact of great significance, and can- ‘not fail to attract the wildest atten- tion in both Europe and America. In a word it is the crowing event of the great rebellion. It is nothing more or less than the annuncement made to very intimate friends here of the intended marriage of Miss Winnie Davis, the eldest daughter of Jefferson Davis, the late presi- dent of the Southern Confederacy, to Mr. Alfred Wilkinson of this city, the grandson of Samuel J. May, the great abolitionist leader. A Tip for the Senate. Butte, Mont., April 14.—In the municipal elections held here to-day the democrats elected the mayor and six out of seven aldermen by decisive majorities. The only re- publican elected on the entire tick- etwas the alderman in the sécond ward and he by only two majority. The city is the closest in Montana, politically. The throwing out of the Tunnel precinct by a capvassing Doard last fall was the argument us- ed in the municipal campaign. In Anaconda the democratic may- or was elected by over 400 majority. GREAT MEN TOO FAT | Mr. Cleveland Alarmed at His Obesity | is Under Treatment. of the Clevelands in this city are confirmed by informataion received 3 |now fer the first time given to the Washington, D. C., April 15.— | public, another of the secrets that Alarming rumors current for sever~| Fijton held as a rod of iron over his al weeks among the personal friends | practically it was a denial—of his mother. “The question is asked: ‘Was this chapter in the life of Stewart must be attributed this denial—for| | benefactor and when the benefacior was dead over his widow?’ It was certainly a secret that Stewart nev- a day or two ago directly from New Yerk to the effect that the ex-Presi- dent has at last consented to con- sulta specialist in relation to the abnormal and constantly inereasing development of fat with which he has been afflicted for many years, but especially since he left Wash- ington, and that he has learned that his fatness is nothing less than a disease, and one that must result fa- tally ina comparatively short time unless it is cured or at least check- ed. He has lately been gaining at the rate of 25 pounds a month, and this fresh fat added to his already enor- mous proportions has been smother- ing every vital organ in his body. In pursurance of the advice obtain- ed, which confirmed fears that Mr. Cleveland’s friends have entertained for some time—although Mr. Cleve- land himself had not up to that time shared in them—Mr. Cleveland, so letters from New York state, placed himself under the care of a practi- tioner of the Schweninger system of fat reduction, from which he is to receive daily treatment until he is cured. It is said that one feature of the ex-President’s case will be a dai- ly exercise in a sort of a treadmill, or, “mountain clilmber,” invented by Dr. Schweninger. An encouraging addition to this information is that the doctors have decided that Mr. Cleyeland has no physical ailment except fat; that his organs are all in a healthy condition and that if he can be relieved of the enormous load of fat that he is com- pelled to carry around they will re- sume their usual functions in ta healthy manner and enable Mr. Cleveland to live out the term of his life. It is said that the representations made by the doctors have seriously alarmed Mr. Cleveland, and that he has determined to follow exactly the orders of his physicians. Such cases as Mr. Cleveland’s, are soa well-known doctor said Isst night, not unknown, but are rare enough to be of great medical interest, es- pecially where, asin this instance, they are clearly defined and seperate from any complicating ailments. He predicted that if Mr. Cleveland's case was as stated, it would become a famous case in medical history.

New York, April 17.—The sev- enth chapter in the World's story of the relation between Judge Hil- ton and the late A. T.Stewart opens thus: “A.T. Stewart’s mother liv- ed in this city, was married here a second time and died here. How closely the merchant prince guard- ed that secret during the one and fifty years of his business career in this city. Mrs. Stewart's second husband, too, was in business in the young metropolis, but it was not, of course, on the thriving scale of his step-son, and there was no outward recognition between them that would give the faintest indication of the relationship in which they stood, The town was ringing in praises of Stewart’s daring ventures in trade, but not for one moment did he take his mother, who bore him, by the hand and introduce her to friends, society and the world as his mother. It must not be supposed that there was no communication between them, for there was. She never knew want and, when at last she died he inherited from her estate some thousands of dollars. To the vanity and selfishness of Stewart i er saw fitto disclose. But what, after all was there in it? What if it had been told, as it is told, after so many years? In the first place, there was the Stewart fiction to be ex- plained, ‘that he was the last of his race,’ and in the will and other doc- uments, public and private, there were provisions for the erection of the Hempstead Plains catherdral, where, under groined arches and swelling dome, inside mullioned windows, beneath marble floors, the bones of the“‘Merchant Prince” were | to lie untilthe trumpet of the arch- angel shall summon them to judg- ment; where too the remains of Mrs. Stewart are to be laid beside them. But there was no provisions made for the little handful of dust of the Irish mother who lived and died within this city limits. | The splen- dor of the Stewart vaults demanded that she should not have a place on the marble floors, etc., of the Stew- art shrine. Did Stewart have any step-brothers or sisters?” THE “ADAMS” FIND. One of the Richest Gold Deposits on the Continent—Congress Asked to Segregatea Nayojo District. A‘buquerque, N.

Finding the prospectors were closely guarded day and night the Navajos endeavored to get the Utes tojoin them in an attack on the camp, offering all the prospec- tor’s stock and half their arms in case they assisted them, but for some reason the Utes refused to join them. The work cf prospecting was prosecuted with astonishing results. Immense veins of metalliferous ores were found between granite and por- phyry or granite and lime walls bearing free gold in decomposed quartz; also veins of great width, rich in horn and wire silver. The mountain is well furnished with run- ning streams with frequent inter- vals, and in portions is heavily tim- bered with pine. Altogether 20 claims were located by the party. On the twentieth day of their stay two troops of cavalry arrived on the ground and arrested the party. No casualty of any kind occurred, and on appearance of Uncle Sam’s blue coats they gathered up their ore specimens and returned with their guard. The company will send specimens of the wonderfully rich ore to Washington and try to secure the passage of a bill segregating a district 20 miles square from the Na- vajo reservation as a mineral dis- trict. Carrizo Mountain is located about 90 miles north and a little west of Gallup, which will be its nearest railroad point. It is about on the line between New Mexico and Arizo- na, and easily accessible by fairly good roads. On the west side of the mountain plenty of coal indica- tions were found, also evidence of petroleum. Now that it is positively known that valuable mineral veins exist in the Carrizo Mountains, it will be useless to try to keep out the miners. Mrs. Southworth has an annual income from her books of $10,000. Her commonplace stories struck the people favorably. She never wrote above mediocrity. dam by imported Paymaster Mambrino by Imported Messenger. dam by Imp. Sourcrout. Alexander's Pilot Jr.. by Old Pilot, Canadian acer. R.S.
