Welcoming address, R. L. Cole-

velopment and advancement in

turned from Austin today, where
she had gone with Davis' attor
ney and other friends for the pur-
pose of presenting to the govern-
or a petition for a commutation
of Davis' sentence. The aged
lady was not seen by the reporter,
but those who went with her were
interviewed and stated that Mrs.
Davis did not succeed in getting
an interview with Governor Hogg,
his excellency claiming that ur-
gent business would prevent him
from granting the nearly distract-
ed mother of the condemned man
an audience. Mrs. Davis is very
despondent since her return and
says she has done all she can do
to save her son from the gallows.
The prevailing opinion here
among those who know of the
visit of Mrs. Davis in Austin is
that Governor Hogg will not in-
terfere in the case and that Davis
will have to hang on August 10.
REBELLIOUS RED MEN.
Arkansas City, Kan., July 10.—
J. 1). Love of this city was sent a
week ago to the Otoe Indian
reservation in the territory to
survey the lands to be allotted to
the tribe. The Indians do not
want their allotment, and as soon
as lie appeared they held a four
days' dance, after which they
ordered him off the reservation.
They became very ugly and the
agent had hard work to keep
them troin killing the surveyor.
The great spirit, they say, advises
them not to take lands iu several-
ty, and a surveyor and his instru-
ments they consider as agents of
the evil one. They will be forced
to take their allotments at once,
however.

HOAR ON REPUBLICAN ISSUES.
Washington, July 10.—Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, having
been asked for his views as to
the political issues upon which
the republican party should stand
in tic coming campaign, replied:
"1 mink the. issues to be pre-
sented to the people are very
i h aily defined in the national
platform of 1888, and that it is the
[impose of the republican party
to hold on to what it has gained
melted metal jtovvard t lu' accomplishment of the
promises there made, aud to seek
to fulfill those promise's as
far as they are not yet
accomplished. The building
up of American industries, exten-
sion of foreign commerce, aid to
the ocean carrying trade, increas-
ed exchange of products with for-
eigu nations, taking from them all
we cannot, produce, keeping our
owu markets for ourselves and oc-
cupying foreign markets with the
things we can produce, sound cur-
rency and above all the protec-
tion of all the rights of citizen-
ship. In other words, au undip-
ped dollar aud au undipped citi
zeuship are the great central doc-
trines of the republican party aud
should be inscribed on our ban-
ner.

West Superior. Wis.. July 10.—
In an instant this afternoon by
the giant play of a cyclone half a
hundred human beings were
caged in a death trap. A number
of buildings were ravaged in the
city, but the extraordinary climax
of the storm was enacted in a
hotel being constructed at the in-
tersection of Lamoiu and Third
streets. Over two score unfortu-
nate workmen were the victims.
Scarcely five minutes elapsed
from the moment when the men,
full of energy, were progressing
with the work till the frightful
whirl was a mile distant in its
path of destruction, and the sick-
ening appearing remains of the
poor begrimed and mangled men
in the ill-starred hostlery was be-
ing brought out of the debris. It
was with much difficulty that the
undertaking of getting at the real
extent of the disaster was prose-
cuted.
V pair of corpses dragged from
the ruins formed the basis of the
lirst genuine information and dis-
pelling the faint hope that life had
been spared. The rescuers were
hindered and the misery of the
wounded doubly intensified by
watersoaked garments, result of
the downpour of rain. While the
dead and wounded were being
conveyed from the hotel vague
reports began coming in of
wrecks in other localities. Indi-
cations are that the damage in the
country districts will be almost
unprecedented in this section.
The assistant chief of the fire
department sustained a broken
leg during the work of rescue.
A scene of intense excitement
reigned. Men worked with des-
peration and many a suit of cloth-
ing was gladly sacrificed in the
work of rescue. It was pitiful.
Women ran about regardless of
raiu and mud, wringing tin-ir
hands and crying, followed, with
the terrible fear that their hus-
bands or brothers had been bur-
ied in the ruins. An eye witness
of the disaster says lie saw a
crew of workingmen run into tlie
building to seek shelter from the
storm. Fully thirty or forty men
must have been inside. They
were distributed all over the
floors. It appears that the meu
on the third floor took warning
first and five were seen to jump
and get away in safety.
This disaster was the central
feature, but much damage was
done in all directions. The steel
hoisting and conveying apparatus
employed by the Silver Creek
and Morris coal company was
badly damaged. How much can-
not be ascertained at present, but
it will be very costly and delay
coal from vessels. Experts have
been telegraphed for to come on
from Cleveland at once to repair
the damage. A large frame build-
ing was blown dowu at the corner
of Third and Lower street at
South Superior and a number of
other buildings were leveled, but
no casualties. The wind played
havoc with the Unitarian church,
union depot and other buildings,
but no serious fires resulted.
From my observation of the feel-
ing that exists among the south-
ern democrats I can truthfully
say that Mr, Cleveland will not
be a strong man before the con-
vention, so far as the states that
are generally spoken of as the
south are concerned.
"To what do you attribute this
change in sentiment?"
"You ought to know, if you are
posted at all. The attitude he has
assumed in relation to coinage
legislation. The state of Texas
wants the direct opposite of what
Mr. Cleveland has outlined as his
sentiments. Th« states adjacent
to Texas and my own state of Mis-
souri all entertain a desire for a
policy entirely different to Mr.
Cleveland's."
"Then you consider Mr. Cleve-
land is entirely out of the race,
so far as the eouth is concerned?"
"By no means. What I do mean
is that his strength in the south
has becme so weakened that if an
available man is presented there is
a great doubt Jof Mr. Cleveland's
being able to secure 'the votes *of
the delegates from many of the
southern state.

London, July 16.—Lord Salis-

HE IS LOSING STRENGTH.
St. Louis, July 16.— United
States Senator Vest in a recent
interview talked as follows:
To the question, "How, in your
opinion, does Mr, Cleveland stand
in the south aud southwest?" he
replied:
Mr. Cleveland is certainly not a
strong man with us. He has weak-
ened himself almost beyond re-
demption in the south. There
was a time when not even a south-
ern democratic statesman had the
strength that Mr. Cleveland had
iu our midst, but that time has
passed.
I do not want to be understood
as opposing Mr. Cleveland, for
above all things I am a democrat.

F. L. Martin, Jackson, Miss.,
opened the discussion of the
"Country Weekly," which was
continued by J. W. Shannon of
the Huron (S. D.) Hurouite. Most
of the points were brought out
by questions from different parts
of the house and answered by Mr.
Shannon, by the president or oth-
ers iu the body of the hall.
During the discussion of tak-
ing patents with advertising mat-
ter ex-Governor Hoard, who pub-
lishes Hoard's Dairyman and the
Jefferson County Union, said: "I
should resent it if auybody should
assume to own me, and think this
applies as well in business trans-
actions as in the editorial depart-
ment. It is not necessary for any
country paper to turn over its col-
umns to any person or company
publishing patents."
This was taken as the keynote
of discussion that followed, and
further points of the great cheap-
ness of advertising when it comes
in patents were also brought out.
