. .r ! ! t I t t - ALIVE BUT LOST. ' A Boldier Beappeara Who ,was on the . ; Death Boll for Twenty-nine Tears. - Washington Dispatch. One of the most remarkable cases that has ever been brought to the attention of the Bureau of Pensions is that of William Newby, a private ot Company D, Fourth Regiment, ' Illinois Volunteers. This regiment was commanded by Colonel Stephen! G. Hicks, of Illinois, ana was con spicuous for its gallantry at the battle of Shilloh. Newby was in this battle on April 6, 1862, and, was re ported "killed in action." It seems, however, instead of being killed he received st severe wound of the. head and -was captured, aHd sent to the rear by the Confederate forcesJ , He , was imprisoned at Belle Isle, -and - was afterwards transferred to Ander sonville. It seems that he was re-' ' leased in course of time, and was in i poorhouses i in various parts of the I South. Hei was finally taken to Key ! West by a man who recognized him i "as akinsman. Here he remained ! until some I time in 1869, when his uncle died. Newby wandered from : place to place and finally turned up at Sh'reveport, La. While there the colored people made up a purse and . a passage was given him on a steam boat to Cincinnati. On the way up ; the river the steamboat landed at .Shawn'eetown, III. Newby, hearing this name called out, seemed to rer cognize something that was familiar "and got off the boat. From here he wandered to Kankakee, 111., where he was in the, poor house for a time. Leaving this place, . he struck out suth ward'' and at last reached Mc Leansborough, in Hamilton county, Illinois, and. was sent to .the poor house. ' During these years he was in a de mented state, bordering upon insan ity; the supposed result of the wound imthe head. In wandering about he finally went over into White county, andtwhen he got near his old home he was seein and recognized by two of his comrades, who had served in ? the regiment with him. His wife was sent for, and she identified him, - as did his relatives and many of his - ' r " i . .... f ; inenas ana comraaes. After Newby was as "killed in action," his wife . app! led 'for a pension. It was granted, and she has been drawing a widow's pension from the date of his death 'to the present time. ; This soldier . has filed a claim for a pension, and is now receiving the consideration! of the Pension Office, the claim of jthe claim of the widow being suspended in the meantime. No discharge ihas i ever been i granted tg the soldier, i and the consideration of the pension claim is being postponed until such tme as the Secretary of War shall grant a discharge. j . This sholdier has been separated from his family for a period of twenty-nine years, they believing all . the while i that he was dead, and now he reappears a distressed, de mented old man. His case has at tracted great attention in the; South ern part of Illinois, and has excited . the sympathy of , all who has become; acquainted with it, He recently atH tended a large reunion of old fret- erans of his county, where the sub ject was the theme of conversation The pension will no doubt soon be rgranted, and he will receive a suffi cient sum to smooth his -way to the end of his life. ' . MONEY IN DAIRY BUSINESS. It Is Almost Double tbo Amount Invented ; - j in Banking. . ' American Analyst. - - There are $2,000,000,000 invented in the dairy business m this country. Thfet amount is almost double the money invested in banking and com mercial industries. It is estimated that it requires 15,000,000 cows? to supply the demand for milk an4 its products in the United States. S To feed these cows 60,000,000 of acres of land are under cultivation. The agricultural and dairy machine im plements i are worth $200,000,000. The men i employed in the business number 750,000, and the- horses (are over 1,000,000. ' There are over 12, 000,000 horses all told. The -cpws and horses annually consume 80, 000,000 tons of hay and nearly 90, 000,000 bushels of cornmeal about the same lamount of oatmeal, 275, 000,000 bushels of oats, 2,000,000 ; bushels of bran and 30,000,000 bush els of corn, to say nothing of jthe brewery grains, sprouts and other questionable food of various kihds that are used to a great extent. J . It costs $450,000,000 to feed these cows and horses. The average pHce paid to the laborers necessary in jthe dairy business is probably $20 jper month, amounting to $180,000,000 a year. The average cow yields about 450 gallons of milk a year, which gives a total product of 6,750,000,900. Twelve cents a gallon is a fair price to estimate the value of milk atj a total return to the dairy farmed of $810,000,000, if they sold all the milk as milk.' But 5 per cent, of their, milk is made into cheese and butter. It takes 27 pounds of milk to make one pound of butter, and 10 pounds to make one pound of cheese. There is the same amount of albuminoids in eight and one-half pounds of milk as there is in one pound of beef, j A fat steer furnishes 50 per centi of boneless beef, but it would require 24,000,000 steers, weighing 1,00 pounds each,, to produce the same amount of nutrition as the annual milk product does. SAM JONES' CYCLONE. ; They Don't Always "Work That "Way. ; Sam Jones' denunciation of jthe sinners of Gotham recalls a story of the noted evangelist that is an apt illustration of the old saw that there are always "two sides to a Story.' TheJRevi Sam has been dealing fout gospel and brimstone in his Ufual vigorous style in Nashville, says! the American, and one night devoted his entire time and attention to ithe i'rum sellers." In the course of I his -harangue he declared that the Lord ; did not always wait until they jap peared before the judgment seat to mete out their punishment, j but ottimes laia nis beavy, hand upon mem on tnis root stool. ,. , - . ; "I will give you a case in point, says he. i "Down in Georgia tth Rev. Sam always draws his illustra tions trqm the land of peanuts iand eopnersi there wa 9 which there . were . three saloons. . -V t --.v-T.-. :. - aa sssMbsMbbbsssi Mbbbbbss . One day the Lord sent a. cyclone and it struck that ? town, swooped down on these saloons and didn't leave a vestige of them. . And, my friends, there wasn't a shingle lifted from the roof of nary another house in town. Tell me the Lord does not take care of his own," etc. The next day the .writer met -a minister who was on the platform the night before and in the course of a conversation anent the Rev. Sam remarked, that he. thought that cyclone story was a little bit too large to swallow. - , ' "No doubt the " story is true, or Mr. Jones would not have told it," said the minister, a very eminent Baptist divine, who is now in charge of a church at Sioux City, la., "but I will tell you a story on the other side if you won't mention my name in connection witn it. l Know oi a town let us locate it in Georgia for the sake of convenience where there was only one saloon that was visited by a cyclone; and after that cyclone got through toying with the houses in that village the only shanty left standing was - the saloon. I know that to be a fact." j WOMEN IN TROUSERS. What One of the Sinners Has to Say i About Proposed Innovations. i ! i Kate Fields Washington: Anglo-Saxon men . and women of the tenth century were clothed similarly, and the Roman costume of which no one can be a greater ad mirer than appreciative Charles Dud ley Warner, . is externally almost identical for both' sexes. Dr. Ham mond prescribes trousers for all wo men who do manual labor except) scuh as is strictly 1 confined to the hands. He thinks sewing machines should never be worked by women in skirts, and he reserves gowns for the drawing-room and the ball-room, re legating saleswomen, physicians, sur geons and nurses in hospitals to trou sers, giving as one argument mat flowing drapery worn by jtne wo man physician ana nurse is more apt to absorb contagion than the closely-fitting trousers ot man, ana hence renders them carriers of dis ease from house to house, or from person to person." TiThere are trousers ana trousers. The trousers of Europe and Ameri ca are neither useful nor ornamental. They are an excrescence, , and the sooner men return .to the breeches of their forefathers the better. But the trousers of Turkish women are by rio means unsightly, ana a costume modeled on that of the. harem or modern Greece, might combine util ity with beauty. However, before making so great a revolution, why not adopt the fashion of the first em pire? Can there be any attire .more healthful and charming than that with which the lovely impress Jo sephine has made us familiar? In this, as in the only perfect dress 4 that of ancient Greece the waist line comes below the bosom, few skirts are needed, and hoops and bustles are impossible. If American women were not absolutely snobbish IP their allegiance to .fans aress- makers, if they thought for them selves and dared to call their bodies their own, they would meet in coun cil and make their own fashions. Until pubiic schools and private 'seminaries turn out self-helpful, able bodied individuals, instead of rickety parrots stuffed with book learning, the reign of common sense will be postponed. bister sinners, what are you going to do about it? SOMETHING FUNNY IN COTTON The Bolls Full of Seed With no Lint on Them. ' Charlotte News. The News sometime ago referred to a new kind of cotton that is be ing grown in South Carolina, and suggested that the oil men ought to buy up the "breed and cultivate it, for it is nothing more nor less than Cotton seed that produces no lint. The -News was laughed at by the knowing ones, who did not consider it possible for such a thing as that to be grown. We' now have the proof of it in our office in the shape of a limb from a cotton plant. . It is in all respects similar to the Cotton plant that is to be found in the fields around here, stem, leaves, bolls' and all, but the opening bolls show not a Huffy J mass of white cotton, -but simply a dozen or two of baldheaded cotton seed. Thev are perfectly barren of lint and are cleaner than any seed that comes from a gin. There is just the least suggestion of lint sticking to them. This freak of cotton nature was brought to us by Mr. T. J. Davis, of he Uliver Oil Mill Company of this :ity, who has just returned from a rip to South Carolina. Mr. Davis believed what he saw about it in the News, so he went to South Carolina to investigate the merits of the "lintless , cotton " with the view of encouraging its production. The man who first erew this peculiar anety has been experimenting with u ior tour years ana now nas a aeaa sure thing of it.- The . stalks bear from 100 to 400 bolls packed full of cotton seed. There are from 20 to 60 seed in each boll, j The seed can be. sowed broadcast like peas, and will shed seed by the bushel without having-been worked. ; ELECTRICAL WONDERS. The' Drilling of Stone Brought Down to a 1 Fine Point. Great interest has been manifested, it is said, at Montreal, in Mr. Edi son's exhibit of electric mining ap pliances at the Electrical Exposition, The1 most striking implement shown is an electric percussion drill, which will pore a hole in the hardest gran ite at the rate of , three inches a minute. It requires comparative ly little power, and ,: . can ' be operated at a distance of three mile: from Ithe dynamo. The drill is of very (simple . construction, .has no movable part except the plunger, and is not! affected by moisture. Experts say that it will completely revolu tionize mining operations. Besides this Ir. Edison . . has "diamond prospecting core drill," which will go rapjdly down into the earth 150 feet and bring up a specimen for exami nation.' - i Roanoke Beacon: YOU may talk about the 'fertile lands and high' corn of Hyde or any other county, but wearftJn the ring as a com producing county.

A St. Louis MathematlciKn Figures out Vs ? Long "vTay Ahead. Prof. H. S. Prichett, of St. i Louis, has derived a mathematical formula from the population - data of the eleventh national census, represents ing the law of growth of population in the United. States. According to this formula-the predicable future population of the United States is as follows: - f Computed ' Computed , Year population. population 1900 . ... 77.472,000 1070 , 257688,000 1910.... 95.673,000 1980. 296.814,000 1920. ..114,416,000 1990. ... 3391.193,000 1930. . .136,887,000 2000; . . . 835,860,000 1940. 162,268,000 .2100. 1,113.867,000 1950. ..190,740,000 2500.. 11.856.302.000 f I960 . ... 222,067,000 2900 . .40.852.273,000 By the use of a ' similar formula derived from the population jdata of the first ten centuries, the "antici pated .population of, the United States in 1890 was computed at 62,- 677,280. The actual count of ; the census bureau placed the population at 62,622,280; This is an eicellent test of the accuracy of the formula and the derivative results. The.table represents, as : nearly as anyl human prediction can. the probable growth of population for the next hundred years, it win be .ooservea that a population ot 2UU,uuu,uuu is within sigm oi persons now uviug. WANTED A RECEIPT. ' - He Insisted On It and Finally Got It. ' Manchester Courier., Some time ago I was trading in a village store, say$ a correspondent, when one of the clerks came to the junior partner, who chanced to be waiting on ; me, and said: "Won't you please step to the desk a mo ment? Pat Flynn wants to settle his bill and insists on having a receipt." The merchant was evidently an noyed. "Why, . what does he want of a receipt?" he said. " "We never give one. '; Simply cross his ac count off the book; that is receipt enough." "So I told him," answered the clerk, "but he is not satisfied. You had better see him." So the proprietor stepped to the desk, and after greeting Pat with a good moring" said: "You wished to settle your bill, did you?" To which Pat replied in the affirmative. "Well, said the merchant,"there is ho need of my giving you a . receipt. See? I will cross your account off the book." And suiting the action to the word, he drew his pencil diag onally across the account. And so ye mane that settles it t said Pat. "That settles it," said the merch ant. . "And ye're sure ye'll never be afther askin' me fur it agin?" "We 11 never ask you for it again, said the merchant, decidedly. T ; "Faith, thin," said Pat, "and I'll be afther'" kapin me money in me pocket, for I haven't paid it yit." The merchant s face flushed an grily as he retorted, "Oh, well, I can rub that out." "Faith, now, and I thought that same, said rat. It is needless to say that Pak ob tained the receipt. CAPT. HARRRY SKINNER. A Eepublioan Predict That He Will Ee Nominated for Governor. Weldon News. Mr. Claudius Bernard, who was the Republican nominee for Con gress, has been talking politics to a Washington Post reporter. Among other things he is quoted as saying: , ''I have no doubt that the Alliance will capture the Democratic State Convention next year and nominate Col. Harry Skinner of Greenville, for Governor. Col. Skinner is but thirty -five years old, but has gained State fame through his campaign wibh Polk and the other Alliance leaders. He is a brother of ex Congressman Thomas G. Skinner, ana tne law partner ot ex- Congressman Lewis C. Latham, both of whom oppose the Alliance Ideas. Though not a mem ber of the Alliance, being precluded by his profession, he is. in .full sym pathy with the movement and the father ot the sub-treasury plan. The scheme first saw the light through an article written by Col. Skinner for f rank Leslie's in 1887. 'The ulterior object of the Alli ance is to send Col. Skinner to the U. S. Senate in place of Mr. Ran som in 1S94 . He has been given to understand that his- election to the Governorship will mean his elevation to the Senate. The Alliance iskin absolute control of the politics of the State, and can, in my opinion, accomplish anything it undertakes. CONFEDERATE VETERANS. Call for a Meeting of the Association.

RORRIBLE BRUTALITY. A Defenceless Woman Hayed Alive m an T"'"" Town by Thirty Masked Men. ' - ' . . 1 .. Bt Telegraph to the Moraine Stwr - - u- Indianapolis, September 26. A spe cial to' the News from Birdseye, Ind.. says: This county is once more dis graced by mob work, which, is doubly disgraceful in that it is perpetrated upon a defenceless woman. Mrs. Harmen, a rather loose character, lived at Mentor, one mile west of here. . Last night she was visited Dy a ooay of thirty men, who tied her to a ' post near her ; lashes to her house and applied ' fifty bare body. After performing this work.- they called upon another woman, nam ed Freeman, (of like - character) and warned her to leave the place , within twenty-four hours or theyjwould treat her to the same dose. - She .immediate ly departed.. Then the White Cap3 call- ed upon Jacob dassenneia, ana oraerer, him to visit Mrs. Harmen, untie hey and publish to the neighbors on penaltd of twenty-five lashes, what they had done, T and that - they had whipped ' the Harmen woman ; be caue of her bad name. - When Sassenfield reached the helpless woman, he found her tied to the post naked, with the exception of one under garment, which was turned over her head. Her body was torn from head to foot as if by a knife one terrible wound and bleeding from every pore while across her abdomen was a deep gash twelve inches long and so deep as to leave the bowels exposed, and scat tered .around "were great hickory switches with which the woman had been flogged. No one knows who - com posed the gang, nor whence they came, though nearly every citizen in the town saw them by the light ot the moon. The community is enraged that such an awful thing should have happened in their midst. Mrs. Harmen and her daughter were whipped in Birdseye two years ago just before they . moved to Mentor. A VILLAGE LOOTED. Armed ' Men Invade Ban An tone ami Carry Off Everything in the Plaoo. Br Telegraph to the Morninx Stat. St. JOSEPH, Mo.. September 26.--A band of .armed men has invaded the. little village of -San Antone and looted the postoffice and a number of stores. Investigation showed the postoffice en tered and . every ounce of mail matter carried off, together with a sum pf money kept by the postmaster in a" small safe. ' Among the mail taken was a large number of - registered letters, the value of the contents of which is unknown. Two hard ware stores and a blacksmith shop in addition were found to have been looted, everything they contained being carried away. The stuff taken, which comprised the entire stock in trade of every merchant in the village, must have been loaded into wagons and driven into the deep woods surrounding the place. From there the thieves evi dently expect to get into bt. Joseph or Kansas City. ' When the; excitement cooled down a band of vigilants was formed and is now scouring the country in pursuit ct" the raiders, who- if caught, will probably not be called on to trouble the courts of justice; " . '. FLORIDA'S SENATORSHIP. Another Complication in the Situation at the State Capital. t By Telegraph to the Moraine Star. Pensacoia, September 26. The Pen sacola Daily News will publish, to-morrow morning a special from Tallahassee giving another complicatien in the Sen atorial situation. Secretary of State Crawford refuses to attest the commis sion of ex-Congressman Davidson, ap pointed by t Gov. Fleming to succeed Senator Call. Crawford is an old-time Whig, and says the great seal of the State, of which he is custodian, shall never adorn any certificate for Call's successor, without; it is Call himself. The Supreme Court of Florida will convene the fifteenth proximo. The Governor will apply for a mandamus to compel compliance with the consti tutional requirement providing the Sec retary of State shall attest all commis sions issued by the executive. Many people in Tallahassee believe Secretary Crawford will go to, jail rather than obey the mandate, if issued by the Supreme Court, and the anti-Call men seem confident of forcing the Secretary to attest Davidson's appointment.
