Pendleton, Ore., contaipsa nephew
of. the" actress Sara Bernhardt. - The
most interesting feature of this fact
is that the nephew, J. H. KeabJes,
has just discovered his relationship,
and that the discovery leads to the
bistory of the illustrious -Sara's origin,-
differing materially from that
given in her biographies. ?-; L l
Keables received a letter oh Wed
nesday from his ''mother, now Mrs.
L. E, Bell, who lives at White Hi ver,
Tulare county, Cal. She.states that
her niece, Miss MarjrMunn, received
a letter fom Sara Bernhardt, in
Which the actress discloses the fact
that she is the identical girl, . Mrs.
Bell's younger sister, who ran away
from her home in New York State
thirty-nine years ago. ;
According to Mr." Keable's story
Sara was then a Sprightly young girl
ten years old, and was just develop
ing a temper for which she has since
become noted. "
Her true name is Sara King and
sne was born on American soil. Her
iatner, Kingsley King, was of French
and Jewish descent and a plasterer
uy occupation, living m Rochester,
N. Y. - -' : . : ; ; . .
Sara's mother was dead land she
and other children HvecT with an
aunt, tier f ather s sister, Mrs. Mary
t Insfield, in -Rochester. One day a
remark displeased her and shel left
tne house, v - '
-This was not an unusual .Occur
rence and no attention was paid to
ii ior tne ume Deing. &ara did not
return, however, and her;fate had
been a mystery for thirty-nine suc
ceeding years, during which time she
nad Deen referred to by nephewsand
their nieces as their "lost Aunt
Sara."
" She was mourned as one dead 'and
the surprises which her own disclosure
has occasioned may be imagined.
"We would have been glad to hear
ot our aunt if she had been a dish
washer in a chop house." said Mr.
LK-eables. '.'The fact that she is the
world famous actress, of course, is
an additional source of pleasure."
Bernhardt can no longer be called
a irench actress if this be true. She
has several relatives, including two
sisters and, a brother, in the "United
Mates, whom she will doubtless visit
when she. returns from Australia.
A PETRIFIED HORSE.
The Unique Curiosity BecenUy Found in
Indian Territory. . .
Philadelphia Times. - ;
inere was recently taken trom a
small creek near Stringtown, I. T.,
a genuine curiosity in the shape of a
petrified horse, which had, beyond
doubt, been lying in the bed 6f the
stream for many years. The creek.
which is known as Mason's ford, has
been dwindling away for some time.
owing to tne iauure ot tne springs
by which it is fed, and is now but a
shallow rivulet, and a , number of
Indian- relics, human bones, etc.,
have been taken from its bed.
The horse was nearly covered by
a deposit of sand and loose lime
stone and was discovered only by
cnance, some boys wading in the creek
catching sight of a portion of one leg.
Examining this, it was found to have
turned entirely into'stone, which led
to the whole being dug out and car
ried to shore. The horse, a large,
white one, seems to be the work of a
cunning sculptor, so completely has
the petrification been, even the hairs
of the mane and tail being converted
into stone. '
In the neck and piercing one of
the largest veins is an arrow, in all
probability the cause of its death,
and which probably struck it as it
stood on the banks of the creek, into
which it rolled m . its death agony.
us siaes stni snow tne marks ot a
saddle, and its flanks are cut as by
spurs used with desperation, but no
brand or other mark gives a clue to
its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken off,
but with this exception it is perfect.
It is now on exhibition in String-
town, but is shortly to be presented
to the Smithsonian - Institution
though several agents for ' dime
museums have endeavored to secure
it for their enterprises.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, August 19. -Acting
Secretary Nettleton received a letter to-
aay propounding the lollowmg ques
tions:
First. What is the: engagement of
government as to the payment of its
foui and one half per cent, bonds. Are
they due on gepteinber lr or simply
tnen redeemable;'
Second. If only redeemable at that
rate why is the government under any
moral or legal obligation or . business
necessity of considering them l (except
at its own convenience under its option)
until they do fall due?
In reply, Nettleton said that four and
one-half per cent, bonds are by their
terms redeemable at the pleasure of the
United States after the first day of Sep
tember next; The government propos
es, he said, to continue at 2 per cent,
such of these bonds as may be present
ed by holders for that purpose and to
pay the remainder because it is consid
ered undesirable in public interest to
continue paying tour and one-halt per
cent, after date ot their redeemabuity.

; Br Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19. The State
Alliance met in annual session here.
Great interest centered in this meeting
as it was understood a fight would be
made on President Livingston.
The morning session was devoted to
routine work of organization. The only
breeze was over an effort on the part of
one of the delegates to inject what pro
mised to be a fight on Livingston, but
this was ruled out of order and the con-
i vention sustained the ruling.
Governor Northernr who is consider
ed the Reader of be anti-Livingston
forces, endeavored to have the decision
of the chair overruled,
At the afternoon session this was
reopened in the shape of a resolution
for postponement of. the election of
officers until charges could be preferred
aerainst Livingston and h investigated.
This was unanimously , voted down, a
resolution endorsing Livingston was
then passed. . with but one dis
senting vote. A resolution providing
that no Alliance man should vote for
any man for Speaker of the National
House or Representatives wno is noi in
full accord with Alliance principles, was
tabled. This was intended as a blow at
Crisp, and it is not believed that the
resolution will be taken from the table.

CHCAGO MARKET REVIEW,;
Fluctuations:
in- Frioea l of .
Grain and
r, Provision X:
By Telegraph to the Morning Star. ' '
Chicago, Aug.-19. As usual of late,
there was high tension at the opening
of the wheat market this morning, and
because of the prospect of the' squeeze
in corn and cold wave in the. North
west, there was a good i bulge for " the
first half hour. ' Cables were yery con
flicting. - Sales of August wheat were
principally between 1.01 and .1.63; Sep
tember 99c and 1.02; Dec-opened about
up around $1.03, touched $1.04, see
sawed between that price and $1.01
before one .o'clock. .The market took
another bound at the close and sold at
the highest point for the day and closed
strong at $1.04, or ' ljc up from last
night. August closed at $L02.
Leading interest on Change at the
opening was in corn. Talk of" large
biddings which does not come- out on
any advance yet made has caused more
pronounced feeling about a Sep
tember ; deal. This put the trade
on their mettle ' at the opening:.
Most - general . belief - is that
Hutchinson has a hand in holding long
corn off the market, and with farmers
holding actual stuff back, a squeeze
would be very natural. The market
started very flighty. , September was
quoted by many around 67Jc, while
sales were quickly made all. the way
from 67c to 68c ' There was a drop to
67ic and a second bulge at the end
of the hour to 68c. From this there
was a Sharp decline with the. break in
wheat; carrying September to 66 Wc,
It then became a game of see-saw. The
.market became- very active and strong
at the close, and again sold close to top
hgures. September closed c over
last night, .
considerable strength was apparent in
oats at the start, when prices were
J6$c higher. August advanced to
28c and May to 32c. Then the
market broke to 28c for August and
32Jc for May. The decline was due to
the slump in wheat and tree selling.
The market afterward rallied MS5c
under fair buying. There was quite a
bulge just before the close.
Provisionswere only moderately active
and fairly firm, without much business.
Fork was active and prices were lrrregu-
lar. - The market opened stronger at
710c advance, and a further appre
ciation of 12315c was gained. Later
prices receded 710c, and closed com
paratively steady. Lard had tair de
mand, prices ruled 57Vc higher on
the whole range and the market Closed
steady at medium figures. Short ribs
were fairly active, though prices were
somewhat irregular. The close was
rather steady to firm.
VIRGINIA FARMERS.
Proceedings of the. State Alliance Conven-
'. tion.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star. - v
Richmond, Aug. 19. During the ses
sion of the farmers- Alliance to-day
newspaper reporters were not allowed
near the doors, leading to the hall of the
House of Delegates. It was charged
that news had. been published of the
previous day's proceedings which should
not have been published. The chair
. man of the Press Committee gave out
the following:
"Resolved, That we deem it both pa
triotic and judicious to pay our taxes in
money 'and not in coupons, and we
hereby earnestly beseech tax-payers in
the larger cities not to sacrifice our
State upon the altar ot commercial
cupidity." Adopted.
The committee to whom was re
ferred so much of President's Page's
address as treated of the debt,
submitted its "report to the Convention
which was adopted. This report de
clares that the Alliance fully appreciates
the importance of settling the State
debt, providing it can be done without
in any way increasing the present rate
of taxation: that the tax payers of Vir
ginia have some rights that bondholders
ought to respect; that the commit
tee is satisfied that certain people in
Virginia had made impressions on bold-
holders of the condition of the State
not true, which in their judgment had
des tared settlement of the debt.
The following officers were elected
for the , ensuing term: Major Mann
Page, President; J. B. Beverly, Vice
President. The offices of Secretary and
Treasurer were combined. J. J. Silver
ly was elected thereto.
COTTON.
The New York Futures Market Yesterday.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star,
New York, Aue. 19. The Sun's cot
ton circular says:
Futures opened with little or no
change, soon took a boayant turn, and
so continued till near the close, partially
receded, and closed steady at 10 to 12
points advance from yesterday's closing
prices. 1 be bears to-day had an exam
ple of the danger to which they are ex
posed, and to which for the next two
months or more they must be exposed
even if the outcome is finally in their
favor. There were reports of ravages by
worms from Texas, Mississippi and
Georgia, and although they are probably
r . -. . . . .
oi very-nixie consequence, it is impossi
ble at the current low prices to prevent
them from exerting an influence upon
values. Some weakness was shown in
the last hour under selling to realize,
but prices receded very little. The
weather was generally very favorable to
crop prospects, frequent showers being'
regarded with much favor. Spot cotton
was quiet.

BABY CURED OF ECZEMA
Mother's and Minister's Testimony.
Head Mass of Putrefaction. Doc
tor Pails. . Cured , in QuicX A
- Time by Cuticura. : .
I deem it mv dutv to inform yon of the wonderfut
cure of eczema which Cuticura Remedies brought
upon our little baby, three months old. When about ;
two and one-half months old. the whole of its little
head became one mass of, putrefaction, over which we
became very- mucn alarmed, as me medicine pre
scribed by our physician only seemed to aggravate and
increase the intense pain the little thing seemed to be
in. . We were utterly at a loss to know what to- do, as
the physcian seemed to have exhausted all efforts to
nve reuet. out tnrougn tne reoommenaanon oi kcv. :
G.'Ahern, pastor of Brooks Circuit M. K. Church
cietv. we were induced to try the Cuticura Reme
dies, and after a few days' application, -we were
astonished as well as delighted oyer the result We
continued the use of the medicine according to direc-
tions. and after a tew weeks, tne little teliow was en
tirely cured with no traces of the disease left., Many
thanks for tnis wonaertni cure. -
Mbs. JOHN HUlS l lClN, guitman, Ua.
It cives me ereat pleasure to testify to the facts con-
tained in Mrs. John Holstein's testimonial concerning
the cure of her little baby. When I saw it I did not
think it possible for it to live. I, however, recom
mended Cuticura, knowing that if a cure was possible,
CuncuRA Remedies would do it. . My most sanguine
expection culminated in a perfect cure.
