AFRAID OF BEING LYNCHED, Mawhor, the Supposed Bluebenrd, Loaves the Country, Mawhor, the supposed Bluebeard, who has just been acquitted by an Avoca jury, was in the city yesterday afternoon enroute some- where, but not to his former home in River- ton. He came in from Avoca the evening be- fore and spent the night here and left during the,day via the Rock Island for some point in the west or southwest. Ho succeeded in keeping out of the way of the news- paper reporters and his present feel- ings and future intentions could mnot bo obtained except second-handed. To some of his acquaintances here he talked quite freely, and frankly admitted that he did not care to return to his old home at Riverton, Fremont county, for fear that the feeling inst him might make his stay thero un- sant if not dangerous. About his future intentions he would say nothing, telling some that he was going to Kunsas and make his home with his children there, others that he would not stop until he reached Den- ver, aud still others, that his ultimate des- tination was California, where members of o brother's family who dicd there suddenly many ye: ago still resid From all the stories he told 1t is evident that he does not care to let the general public know just wwhere he intends tospend the remainderof his days.

Cn1cAGo, Sept. 9.—This was one of the red letter days at the World's fair. The weather was persfect, the sky clear and there 1g- breeze. 1t wus a day of big features. To begin with, it was Grand Army day, and the veterans had the right of way. Thou- sands of them were prosent, on the way home from the national encampment at Indian- apolis, including the new commander-in- ctief, Mr. Adams, half a dozen past com- manders and nearly all the department com- manders and past’ commanders of all the states. In addition to this it was California aay, Utah day. civil engineers duy, transport tion day, the day to dedicate the now Liberty bell and to transfer the Columbus caravels from Spain to the United States. DCalifornia kept open house in of the anniversary of her mission to the union, giving a trainload of fruit. Utah, with its magnificent Mormon choir of 800 voices, assisted at tho dedication of the Liberty bell, along with the Grand Army men and thousands of school children who strewed Howers and set its great metal sides resounding with a stroke for each state aud torritory. Utah also held a reception in the person of Governor West and the Utah com- wmissioners in the T'erritorial building, The Transportation building gave a parade which was one of the atures of the day, Every kind of vehicle was in line. The Grand Army posts, returning from Indisnap- olis, paraded the grounds fully 6,000 strong, and with 1,000 school children dedicated the new Liberty bell in front of the swest entrance of the Administration building, The Sunday opening of the fair has not been & success. Mr. Clingman, the pro- moter of the injunction against Sunday closing, has & nbw move on. He wants the Sunday rate reduced to 2 cents for the adults and children to be admitted free. Should the management refuse to do so the projectors of tho movement threaten that they will take legal action that will compel it to open tho fair free on Sunday to everybody, It is believed that the week closing to- night will be the greatestof all weeks at the fairso far. It will count over 1,000,000 pard admissions. i ree of & .

BOIES OPENS HIS CAMPAICN Insists that Tariff and Silver Questions Be Kept Out of the Contest, TO BE FOUGHT ON STATE ISSUES ALONE Admires Republican Wisdom in Discarding Prohibition, but Says the Party Was Driven to it and that 1ts New Soheme 1s No Better. Gruxpy Cexter, Ia., Sept. 9.—Governor Boies spoke here this afternoon, opening the campaign in the state for the democratic party. He devoted most of his timo to the tariff, peusions, prohibition and state insti- tutions. He insisted that the tariff question should be eliminated from the present cam- paign for the reason that nothing the voters could now do would affect its settlement. On the silver question hesaid: *The dif- ferences of opinion seem to consist in this— that the majority, at least, of both great parties believe some provision necessary, either by international agreement or legal enactments, to maintain tho parity of the two metals,after they are coinea into money, because of the great disparity in commercial value of the bullion from which the coin is made; while many individuals in veth par- ties, and the populists us a party, believe the freo coinage of both metals at the old ratio would, in and of itself, maintain a parity as money. This question ought never to be hampered by partisan poh- tics, It requires for its proper ad- justment the best thought of the best men of all political parties, The great mass of our people outside those directly benefited by the change, look upon the act of 1873 demonetizing silver as a co- lossal national crime, and are anxious to remedy the wroug in uny way it can be done without committing another and without aetriment to the credit of the nation. That a solution of this difilcult problem that will restore to the country the free coinage of ilver will be discovered 1 have no doubt, Neither do I question that we will be the most likely to reach a correct solution, one that will do justice to all classes und reflect crediv on our common cotmtry il we are able to keep it out of the bivter, partisan politics of the nation. Sincedtis at least true in our present campaign/Ahat no vote we can cast *will have any praguicsl effect on this ques- tion, we may properly dismiss it from our minds and turn our attention to those di- rectly involved,” uo 1 Democrats DIdW’s Bring the Fanle, Concerning the chavge that the democratic party was respousible for tae fiuancial crisis, the governor said; ‘*This is indeed a strange conclusion in view.of the fact that one year g0, by one of the Jargest popular majoritics ever given an, administration in this country, every bpangh of the national goy- ernment was confided to the demo- cratic party, According Lo the repub- licun authority, the people had become frightened at thejr.own acts before Lhere was any possibility for them to discover the least of its benel Tam glad o know that thousands ubon thousands of the most intelligent republicans refuse to endorse this political fraud and are wise enough to see that if the panic is to be charged to politics at all the party to which they belong would be the suffer President Harrison found labor adequately employed, plenty everywhere, the natiounal treasury full w0 overfiowing aud busines: confidence undisturbed. The rigid economy of President Cleveland was abaudoned and the treasury surplus was dissipated, not by reducing taxes, as President Cleveland had recommended, but by wasteful extravagance. For months béfore the close of Harrison's term both the president and the secretary of the treasury were st their wits' ends to meet the demands upon the government without encroaching upon the legal reserve. The seeds of & tinancial panic had not only been sown, but had already germinated when Cleveland was inaugurated last March. “Instead of thére being a want of confi- dence in the democratic party, the reverse is now shown to be true. Kviaence of re- turning confidence is already visible on every hand. Gold is coming back, foreign holders of our bonds aro recovering from their fright, banks are reopening and factories starting up.” . The governor denicd the charge in the re- publican platform that the democrats in- tended to break down the pension system and said +Until the over the last of the purse strings \ tion will be unloosed for their carc. But honest men in all panties will insist that tho roll upon which their nawes appear shail not bo polluted with the names that have been added to it through the perjury and fraud of dishonest men.” Republicans Showed Good Sense. Coming to state issues, Governor Boles said: “I could not, if I desired, conceal my own gratification at what seems to me the good sense of the republic: fested by its change of position on the question of the control of the liquor traffic. Neither is it with any limited de. gree of pride that I am able to say that in every hour of the heated con- tests through wlhich wo have passed tho opponents of the statewide prohibition have been actuated by nothing but a firm belief in the truth and justice alike of their position. They have been able to look beyond the mere question of sentient involved and to realize that great principies are at stake, principles that underlie the very founda- tions of the temple of liberty which our fathers built and that deserve to be defended whenever assailed in whatever name or for whutever cause, “Millions were invested in this business. Then that same party enacted, and for ten years has waintained, the present prohibi- tory law which suostantially confiscated this property.

Arizona is plentifully sprinkled the ruins of strange habitations, 5 of them constructed of concrete or adobe, and the mystery about them is the identity of the people who designed them. How they could be built is not a matter of conjecture, as the materials are close at hand, But there is one ruin, although still in a good state of preservation, which is @ myotery no matter in what light it is considered. It is in the Huachucu mountaing, not far from the milit reservation, in a northeasterly direction. Nothing s known of its origin, aud the wonderful part is the material of which it is con- structed.

SR Ingenious Uses of Whalehone, Whalebone is put to an_ ingenious use by the Eskimos. Whenevor wolves have been unusually predatory, have des stroyed a favorite dog or 50 or dug up u cachie of reindeer meat, just when it is needed or in any way havo aroused the iro of the Eskimo hunter, he takes @ strip of whalebone about the size of those used in corsets, wraps it up into s coms pact coil like a watch spring, having proviously sharpened both ends, then ties it together with a reindeer sinew and plasters it with a compound of blood and grease, which is allowod to fre and forms & binding cement suflic strong to hold the sinew string. This, with a lot of similar looking baits of meat and blubber, is seattered 1 tho snow or ground and the hungry wolf ¢ vours it along with the others, und when it is thawed out by the warmth of his stomach it elongates and has the well known effect of whalehone on the system, but ing the military advantage of in- terior 1ines, its effects are more rapid killing the poor wolf with the most hors rible agonies in a couple of days.
