THREE THOUSA Southwestern Towa Puys Its Comy to Council Bluffs Resorts. Colonel W. J. Davenport, the genial gen- tleman who lcoks after the interests of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway in this section of the country, had his judgment vindicated yesterday. For two years past he has been trying to induce his company to run excursion trains frequently from the towns within a radius of 100 miles to Council Buufts. The company has hitherto refused to do o, on the ground that not enough ex- cursionists could be gotten together to make it a paying venture. After a long period of coaxing, however, the experiment was tried yesterday, and it is estimated that between 3,000 and 4,000 people from outside towns visited Council Bluffs and Omaha yesterday as a result. There were four trains of eleven cars each, and every train came loaded to the guards. All the seats were taken and the aisles were full of passengers. The four sections started respectively from Hastings, Villlsca, Red Oak and Creston, but a score of other towns in the Burlington territory were repr sented by delegates. The trains were run down the Twenty-second avenue branch to Ninth street, where as many of the pas- sengers as wanted to visit Manawa were transferred to the Manawa line. Multitud took advantage of the opportunity. The rest were carried up to the local depot, where special motor trains were in readiness to convey them farther up town, or to Omaha, as_they might wish. It was one of the biggest days the motor company has ever had, for there were thou- sands who chose to visit this city and Omaha before wending their ways to the various resorts that invited them. Some of them scemed to labor under the misapprehension that there would be nothing to be had at the pleasure resorts In the way of Hquid refreshments, and as soon as they arrived in the city they commenced a_bombardment of the various places where beer signs were seen hanging out. First the front doors were tried and found securely locked. Then the crowd transferred its operations to the back doors, and every alley in the city that led up to the rear entrance of a dispensary for the cure of acute thirst became black with men. But Mayor Cleaver's Sunday closing order, unfortunately, held as good yesterday as on' any other day, and as most of the vis- itors had no kind friend around to put them on to the ropes, they had to relieve their thirst with water, or something just as bad. At Manawa the usual attractions were pre- sented and taken in by big crowds, Falr- mount park, too, came in for its share of visitors, as’ it always does. Many of the excursionists visited Omaha and enjoyed the pleasures furnished by the management of Courtland beach. The trains started home- ward shortly after 6 o'clock. As a financlal venture the excursion was a_success beyond all the hopes of those who originated the idea. The Burlington, and particularly Mr. Davenport, deserve a great deal of credit for being the first to make the experiment, and it is very likely that the other roads centering in Council Blufts will now try the same thing and excursions will become frequent.

Mollle Miller's operations at one time were carried on very extensively, and she was at the head of a gang which was involved in more bloody fights with revenue officers than any other organized in the fouth. Her first experience was in the mountalns of Sevier county, W re she assisted her father, Sam Miller, Here Deputy Marshal McPherson led a rald under a guide who had a grudge against Miller. In an almost Inaccessible gorge the officers encountered the moonshin. ors, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. A Dbloody fight followed and three of the revenue men were killed, the others retreat- ing. In was noticed that a young girl was oue of the party, and it has always been be lev that she Kkilled one of the officers. An r rald was made, in which Miller was killed and his associates captured, About this time the revenue officers received a box contalning the remains of the man who had informed upon the gang. There was nothing to indicate from whom It came and the box must have been carried by wagon and left at the marshal's house. Tle woman was sot found and it was soon aks bard water, The De THE OMAHA known that she had fled. In a few months Polk county, which had always furnished considerable fllicit whisky, became the head- quarters of the moonshiners throughout esst Tennessee, and rald followed rald until there was scarcely a cave on the Hiawassee river that had not been the scene of some lloody fight between the moonahiners and the rev enue men, It bec leader, me known that the woman was a but she was never arrested but once, and then the proof was such that she caped with a light sentence. After the Knoxville Southern rallroad was bullt the country became too easy of access, and with tho exception of an occasional petty offender the gang was broken up. The woman moon- shiner retired to a small farm, where she remained undisturbed, except at two or threa times, when she was taken to Chat- tanooga as a witness, when she would col- lect her fees and start on a walk over the mountains, a distance of sixty miles, to her hom It Is revenuc supposed that the killing of three oficers and four or five informers can be charged to her directly, while the gang of which she was a member could be held accountable for several others, but it was never possible to prove these charges, and she died without ever having been trie for them. BOOKS AND PERIODICALS, The life of a medioval saint s dim and gloomy atmosphere of superstition and barbarism. It carries us back to an age in figurative symbols and Ing ceremonials dominated soclety in place of refigion. The latter slept, a mere germ, buried far down underneath the thick crust of almost impenetrable ignorance. Upon its pagan soil was poured the rich fertilizer of brilllant but decayed lore carried from the east, already saturated with Roman and Greclan influence, and from this sofl the bur led germ of religion was to be fed and to grow. God slept, but the name of God ran riot on men's lips. In Paul Sabatier' “Life of St. Francis of Assisi,”” which repro- duces this period—the only part of the thirteenth century—there will be found much more than the life of an individual, for in following the light of his remarkable’ person- ality, the local surroundings and the times themselves are illustrated, the very outlines of the man being framed in the character c the times. Since “Renan's “Life of Jesus’ uo thoughtful book has made so great a stir in France; in fact the work has made such an impression with its felicitous style and brilliant diction that the author is by many regarded the legitimate successor of Renan. St. Francis of Asslsi presented as a man so ideal as to have been altogether beyond the touch of the debasing viclssitudes of the life with which he was surrounded, a spirit absolutely self-giving and a total stranger to self-seeking—a man_combining the fortitude of the ascetic while warmed with the kindliest sympathy for his fel- low men—a man whose personal life pur- sued the martyrdom of Christ's footsteps.

DES MOINES, July 22,—(Special to The Bee.)—The republican state convention, which meets in this city Wednesday, promises to become noted chiefly for the lively hustling among the various aspirants for votes and possibly for the protracted ballotings that may follow, The two weeks' postponement has glven the candidates for positions on the ticket an excellent opportunity to reform their lines and secure the largest possible number of second choice pledges. As this is conceded on all sides to be “republican year” in lowa, a nomination Is equivalent to election and this fact will have a tendency to prolong th contest over each nomination. It does not now appear that there will be an strife over the platform. The Martin mulet law will be commended as an experiment and as an attempt to carry out In good faith the Iges made by the last state convention effort to declare the mulct system the permanent policy of the state would precipi- tate a war of words and open up one of the hottest fights ever scen in the republican ranks, and this will be avolded. Many re- publicans favor endorsing the action of President Cleveland in sending troops into Tlinols against the protest of Governor Alt- geld to defend United States property and protect the mails. They feel that this in- fraction of long-time democratic principles on the part of the national executive ought to be commended. At the same time the Cleveland policy in general will be vigorousl assailed and the present deplorable cond tion of business will be laid at the door of the democratic n ity In congress. The pre-ent year marks the end of the old regime, and the number of new men who have come forward as party leaders is in- deed remarkable. This. fact of itself well for a sweeping republican vief n the fall. Among the strong men in the race for attorney general are H. G. Curtis of Atlantie, Jacob Sims of Council _Bluffs, ex-Congressman_J. H. seney of Milton Remley of Towa C of Columbus Junction, A. C. cer, ex-Speaker W. O. Mitchell of Corning, C.'W. Mullen of Waterloo and T. A. Cheshire of Polk. Sweeney, Mitchell, Rem- ley and Che will poll a good vote, but nomination is contingent on trades that may be effected and the number of second choice pledges that may be secured. The chances of every man in the list may be said to be about even, though the prohibition olement will favor Remley or Curtis, and the antis will be inclined to support Carpen- ter. ONE PLACE MUCH WANTED. The fight for state treasurer has devel- oped into a three cornered conte:t, with the chances rather in favor of W. B. David:on, at present deputy treasurér. The other cin- didates aro John Herriott of Guthrie and W. W. Morrow of Marion, The latter will have strong support along thé'line of the Burling- ton, and with a combination with Sweeney for’ attorney general !wohld likely prove a winning candidate. 'If Mr. Herrlott’s sup- porters stick by him he will probably be able to dictate the ngmination if he cannot secure it for himselfy, -, Tor clerk of the stpreme court Mr. C. T. Jones, the present députy, will have to con- tend for the prize WIth' Colonel S. S. Ses- sions of Algona and ' E. H. Allison of Grundy Center, both: popular men, and each with a retinue of able ‘workers. It would surprise no one to see Mr. Sessions get the nomination, as he is'morrally certain of a largo secticnal vote. It is for the office of railroad commis- sioner, however, that the liveliest contest will occur. The list of candidates for this position up to date includes Hon. L. S. Coflin of Fort Dodge, R. E. Sackett of Sioux City, C. L. Davidson of Hull, Welcome Mowry of Tama City, and W. B. Martin (author of the mulet law) of Greenfield, with several in the background. “Farmer}. Cofiin’ friends claim that he was promisefi¥this posi- tion last fall when he declined the prohibi- tion nomination for governor. He was formerly railroad commissioner by virtue of an appointment from Governor Sherman. For the past five years Mr. Coffin has been ac- tively engaged In securing state and national legislation for the protection of railroad employes, especially in the line of requiring the use of automatic couplers and other safety devices on freight trains. His claim that he is the strongest possible candi- date to run against Peter A. Dey, the present incumbent, who will undoubtedly secure the democratic nomination for this position. Mr. Dey has held the office for nearly ten years, defeating in succession Hon. John Mahin and Frank T. Campbell, two strong and able men, by the aid of those republicans who believe that this important commission should be nonpartisan. The republican ma- jority this year promises to be so large that Dey will not be able to pull through, and this is the main reason for the scramble for the republican nomination. DELEGATES ALREADY ARRIVING. The convention will have about twelve hundred delegates in attendance. About a hundred of them, with the candidates for various oflices, are already on the ground working in the interests of their favorites. There is unusual interest in the convention and there will be a nearly full representa- tion. The candidates here claim that the post- ponement of the convention for two wecks has had no material cffect on thelr pros- ts of success, and, of course, as is usual in all political contests, all the candidates in the fleld are confident that they are going to win. It hardly scems possible to an out- sider, however, that they will win. A republican’ state officer, who sits high in the councils of the party, sald to your correspondent: “It seems to me that the situation this year is more than usually interesting, The fleld of candidates is, it anything, larger than usual. Most of them are able men. Nearly every district Is repre- sented. Some of the districts alone could nearly fill_the whole ticket, they have so many candidates. There must of ne sity be a number of defeated candidates after the convention is held. If I were to fix up a ticket as the one lfkely to be nom- inated, this would be it: ' M. McFarland, secretary of state; C. G. McCarthy, auditor of state; W. W. Mor- row, treasurer of state; C. A. Carpenter, at- torney general; C. L. Davidson, railroad commissioner; C. T. Granger, H. E. Deem Judges of the supreme court; C. T. Jones, Clerk of the supreme colirt; B. W. Sallinger, supreme court reparter, REASONS FOR HIS CHOICE. “On the secretary, auditor and the su- premo judges there is no contest. Mr. Mor- row, in my estimation, is the strongest of the candidates for the treasurcrship, because he is from the Eighthidistrict, where there Is no other candidateexcept Mitchell for at- torney general, and, I belleve his nomination will :atisfy the delegetion from that dis- trict, and that it will then go to Carpenter of the First for attorney general and Jones for clerk. They are alone in that corner of the state, and I Belleve they stand a good chance of receiving the nomination. “Major Jones eays he has now sufficient pledges to insure him 621 votes in the con- vention. The railroad commissionership is nearly certain to go to the Eleventh ditrict, and I am inclined to think Davidson a stronger candidate than Sackett, because there is some feeling against the latter on account of the story that has gone the rounds of the press that he Is the corpora- tion candidate, and also because Davidson will have strong suppert from the Grand Army, having been commander of the de- partment of lowa. Mr. Raymond, the pres- ent reporter, is a candidate for enother term, but I think Sallinger of the 'l th or An- drews of the Ninth is more likely to secure the nomination,’ This gentleman that with was of the opinion the Ninth district would be satisfied the nomination of Judge Deemer, who {s now on the bench by appolntment, and that the other cindidates would be side-tracked after his nomination was secured. In fact the whole ticket, as he made It up, was based on the plan of an equal distribution of the office: by the convention. The Ninth aud Tenth districts, he thinks, bave too many candidates and will be apt to hav vory divided delegations, and he bslieves that his predictions will be found to be cor- rect when the convention has made the nominations, OTHERS THINK OTHERWISE There are others, however, who are well posted, who think that ex-Senator D. D, Davidson of the Tenth or John Herriott of the Ninth will recure the nomination for asurer, that Colonel 8. 8. Sessions of the Tenth will capture the clerkship, and that Senator H Andrews of the Ninth will be the nominee for repor he friends of Senatc homas A, Cheshire of the Seventh are positive in their claim that he will be named for attorney general Th# facts seem to be that there will be a close fight for th s and that the winners cannot be picked out till they are named by the convention next Wednesday But at any rate all manner of conjectures coneerning the outcome are rife and the subject 18 one of absorbing interest here and throughout the state. populists in this district have en- ge Barcroft, the nominee of th ew Industrial party, for congress and there 18 considerable talk of the democrats endors ing him. This would seem to indicate that there was more truth than fiction in the statement of a prominent’ democrat that they would fuse this fall with both the new arties, wherever such a course seemcd feasible.

Interesting Yneldents in Which rofession Figure. Representative Bynum of Indiana fs one of the best parliamentarians and most suc- cessful lawyers in the héuse. Before com ing to congress he acquired considerable prominence as a criminal lawyer, and wes in great demand to defend criminal prose- cutions. In the Washington Times he tells a story on himself to illustrate the fact that sometimes an attorney can ask one questic too much. And this is the way he tells “A number of years ago, when a young 1 was employed to defend a man with mayhem in a little town in uthern India said Mr. Bynum, “and among the witnesses for the defense was an odd character named Jo Bates. When Jo came on the stand and after the prelimi- nary questions I asked him if he had seen the’ fight in which my client was supposed to have bitten a plece oft the other man's ear. " ion, of it.’ *‘How did you come to see it, Jo?' ““Waal, tell you how ’tw I had heered a good deal about Jim Haskins' fitin’ —as how he was a good man—and I wanted to sec as how,he handled hisself.’ “'Did you see the fight to the cud, Jo?" **‘Yaas, mister.’ *‘Could you see both men all the time?' ‘Oh, yaas, mister.’ ‘Did you 'see Jim Hi Brown's ear?" O, no, mister.’ *Did you see him try to bite Bill in any way, or was the fight fair and wihout gouging and biting?’ “Yaas, the fite was fit fair and Jim licked Bill without turnin’ a bair, and I di1 not see Jim bite Bill In any way,' answered Jo. “ “That will do, the Legal , mister,’ replied Jo, ‘I seed all kins bite oft Bill Jo,’ sald T, and just as Jo was leaving the witness chair—for the prosecutor did not want to examine him— an unlucky thought occurred to me, and I told him fo sit down and answer one more question. “Jo, said 1, slowly, and in an impressive manner, ‘did you anything during the fight, or immediately after it was over, that led you to think that possibly Jim might have bitten off a piece of Bill's ear?’ “Waal, mister,” replied Jo, “I didn't see Jim bite Bill, nor would I tho't anything about it, only after the fits was over Jim spit out a picce of ear 'fore he cud take a chaw terbaccer; but I don’t know whether it was Bill's ear or not." " Mr. Bynum says that he lost the case, and that his experience with Jo taught him to let well enough alone when examining witnesses e A Kentucky lawyer was standing on the steps of the Covington postoffice the other day, says the Kentuckian, when an old col- ored man came up, and, touching his hat, asked: “Kin you tell me, is dis de placo where dey sells postage stamps?” s, sir; this is the place,” replied the lawyer, seeing a chance for a little quiet fun; “but what do you want with postage stamps, unclo “To mail a letter, sah, of courts.” “Well, then, you needn’t bother about any stamps; you don't have to put any on this weel. “I don’t “No, sir, “Why—for not?” “Well, you sce, the conglomeration of the hypothenuse has differentiated the parallelo- gram so much that the consanguinity don't emulate the ordinary effervescence, and so the government has decided to send letters free.” The old man took off shook his head, and then, remarked “Well, boss, all his hat dubiously, with a long breath, dat may be true, an' I don’t say it aln't, but just s'posen dat de eckeentricity of de aggregation transubstan- tuates de ignominlousness of de puppendick- eler and sublimates de puspicuity of de con- sequences—don’t you qualificate dat de gov- ernment would confiscate dat dare letter? I guess I'd jest better put some stamps on anyhow, fer luck!” And the old man passed solemnly down the street. Charles F. Gore, a New Hampshire judge of this century, was very nervous and i ritable, but so determined that he usually found means of enforcing his desires.

He was passed a bottle and a glass. Then, to his surprise, the bartender placed a small whisk broom by tho side of the bottle. Of course, he was puzzled, but he poured out his drink and drank it slowly, unwilling to profess ignorance in the ways of the wild west and thinking that some’ person might come to his rescue.
