in Iowa—Details of Deviltry.
' DBS MonfES, Iowa, October 14.—[Special]
■-The little town of Ute, on the Sioux City
branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
(Paul railroad, is in & terrible state of ex-
citement over a series of outrages that have
been perpetrated upon Lena Chapln, aged
fX), daughter of one of the most Influential
1 families In the county. The case Is a par-
allel of the famous Emma Bond mystery of
tfaylorsvllle, 111. Two weeks ago Monday
Miss Chapin was alone In the house of her
{Qnele, Mr. Edwards, two miles north of
town. About noon two men called and
asked for dinner. They came In to wait
prhlle something was prepared for them,
and immediately seized Miss Chapln, and
tinder the threat of death tried to make her
tell where her uncle kept his money. Fail-
ing in this, they took her to an adjoining
shed nnd tied her in a cruel manner
and left her gagged, until she was discov-
ered several hours afterward.
I One week ago Tuesday night an attempt
was made to abduct her. When she stepped
to the back door she was seized in the door-
way by the same two men and was in the
act of being carried off when she managed
to give a half stifled scream that brought
the assistance of her uncle and three hired
Knen from the house. Her assailants es-
caped without recognition.
' Friday there was a stock and grain sale on
the Edwards farm. It is said there were 500
men present, who were given a barbecue

A6SASSINATION IN HEMPSTEAD.
Lewis McDade, Colored Candidate for Cot-

Hempstead, Tex., October 14.— Lewis Mc-
Dade, colored, a prominent republican poli-
tician, was shot and killed last night about
10 o'clock on one of the public streets by a
concealed assassin.
There is no clue to the dastardly deed.
He was a candidate for the office of cotton
weigher on the republican tioket.
Everybody here condemns the deed. Full
particulars can not be obtained at present.
DEEP WATER CIRCULAR.
The Fort Worth Board of Trade Addresses
Other Texas Boards.
Fort Worth, Tex., October 14.—The fol-
lowing circular has been issued:
Office of Fort Worth Board of Trade,
Fort Worth, Tex., October 13.—To the
officers of the boards of trade of Texas, Col-
orado and tho southwest: By the direction
of the board of trade of Fort Worth we de-
sire to call your attention to the fact that
the meeting of cattle raisers, cattle feeders
and butchers of the United States which
will be held in St. Louis on the 30th day of
November next, will have it in its power
very largely to influence congress to make
an appropriation to establish a deep water
harbor on the Texas coast.
The secretary of the butchers' national
protective association has written the vice-
president of the Texas stock association,
stating in effect that whatever the butchers
of the country could do to secure a deep
water harbor on the Texas coast they would
do with pleasure, and that the butchers of
the country felt that they could not do too
much to promote the interests of tho cattle-
men, who are their allies in the efforts be-
ing made to re-establish competitive cattle
markets throughout the United States.
This assurance from an organization repre-
senting 100,000 men is extremely gratifying.
While the opening of a deep water harbor
on the Texas coast will promote the cattle
interests of the southwest, as furnishing an
outlet for oattle products to the markets of
the world, it would also prove of benefit to
the entire commercial interests of the great
west and southwest.
Realizing the intimate relations existing
between the cattle industry and the com-
mercial prosperity of the country, we feel it
our duty to urge you to send representatives
to the St. Louis meeting for the purpose of
assisting in successfully accomnlishing re-
sults which will prove of great benefit to the
interests We represent. Very respectfully,
E. E. Chase, President.
Max Ei.ser, Secretary.

WITH HIS OWN WEAPON
CHARLES W. WEST KILLS CHARLES
MORAN. JR., NEAR WACO.
A Young Husband Trios Reproaches on His
Wife's Abuser and Fatally Repulses
an Assault —Gave Himself Up—
The Husband's Story.
Waco, Tex., October 14.—At 4 o'clock
this morning Charles W. West aroused De-
puty Sheriff Dan Ford from sleep and said:
"I want you to take me into custody, I shot
and killed Charles Moran, Jr."
Later In the day a reporter of TnE News
called on West at the county jail and took
from him the following statement:
"I was clerk of the Povenit hotel at Lex-
ington, Ky., in June, 1887, and Major Moran,
whom I killed last night at 9 o'clock, was a
guest. He Interested me with a description
of the Waco Farm confederation, chartered
to raise farm products and live stock. Be
informed me that he was vice-president of
the Waco farm, and would like to employ
me as secretary and manager. I kept up a
correspondence with Major Moran, and
after a few months I got married, and short-
ly afterward accepted his offer and came to
the Waco farm, entering upon my duties as
secretary and manager
on December 19 last. With my wife I oc-
cupied the main building on tho farm, and
boarded Major Moran, he furnishing the
groceries and provisions. He had a bed-
room and office, and was back and forth,
spending muoh of his time in Waco. I
have had ooeasion several times to complain
to him that his language uttered in the
presence of my wife was of an unbearably
offensive character.
Yesterday I came to Waco in a two-horse
wagon and {tfjtjor Moran in a buggy. We
spent the day in the city and left after sun-
set, reaching the farm near the same time,
which was about 8 o'clock p. m. I un-
hitched both teams and Major Mortin went
immediately into the house. I heard Major
Moran's voice in a high key while I was en-
gaged with the teams and when I had fin-
ished I started for the house and met
my wife in tears.
She returned with me and Major Moran
continued in the kitohen scolding about
waste and referred in insulting terms tt, u.
bottle of pickles which he had seen on the
ground broken, and these, he said, my wife
ought to graze upon. I hurried my wife
off to her room, and returning, began to re-
proach Major Moran with his unbearable
conduct. He said: "I own sixteen shares in
this confederation and control it, and
I will rule it." And with that
he ran toward his office, whore
I knew his firearms were. He re-
turned carrying a Winchester at a ready. I
met him in the hall, grappled with him,
and aftor a severe struggle gained posses-
sion of the Winchester. He retreated before
me into the kitchen, but drew a big pocket
knife, which at tho instant I thought a
pistol, and rushed at him. I raised the car-
bine and fired, and just then my wife, who
had come up behind me unperceived, fell in
a swoon. I saw Moran stagger toward his
office door after
i shot him.
I picked my wife up and took her to her
bedroom. I summoned my neighbors and
watchers were appointed over tho body.
After getting my wife pacified I came in
and the rest you know.
The Waco farm is five miles south of
Waco, and Mr. \V. L. Hall of Dallas is
president.
Charles Moran, Jr., was a son of tho senior
of the banking firm of Charles Moran &
Bros., No. 88 Wall streot, New York. Chas.
Moran, Sr., was receiver of the West Shore
railroad until the Vanderbilts bought it.
He was an intimate of Commodore Vnn-
derbilt.
Chas. Moran, Jr., was an eccentric person,
especially as to wardrobe. He was quarrel-
some but not considered dangerous. There
were no witnesses to the killing except the
slayer. Mrs. Angland, the cook, heard the
sounds but saw nothing. Mrs. West had
fainted before the shot was fired.
The body has been embalmed to wait
orders of the father.

found this morning. He was a married
man, and his widow Is at Hot Springs.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
ALLEN G. THURMAN ACCEPTS THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
For VIoo-Presidcnt of the United States
and the Platform Adopted by the St.
Louis Convention — Views on
Monopolistic Tariff.
Columbus, O., October 14.—Judge Thur-
man's letter of acceptance was given to the
press this evening. The first draft of the
letter was in the judge's handwriting, and
the typewriter copies showed only a few
changes in punctuation from the original.
The letter is as follows:
Columbus, O., October 12.—Hon. Patrick
A. Collins and Others, Committee—
Gentlemen: In obedience to custom, I send
you this formal acceptance of my nominar
tion for the office of vice-president of the
United States made by the national con-
vention of the democratic party at St.
Louis. When you did me the honor to
call upon me at Columbus and officially
notify me of my nomination I expressed to
you my senso of obligation to the convention
and stated that, although I had not sought
the nomination, I did not feel at liberty un-
der the dlrcuinstances to decline it. I
thought then, as I still think, that what-
ever 1 could uroperly do to promote the
re-election of President Cleveland I ought
to do. His administration has been marked
by such integrity, good sense, manly
courage ana exalted patriotism that a just
appreciation of these high qualities seem to
oail for his re-ejpetion.
1 am also strongly impressed with the be-
lief that his re-election would powerfully
tend to strengthen that feeling of fraternity
among the American people that is so essen-
tial to their welfare, peace and happiness,
and to the perpetuity of tho union and of
our free institutions.
I approve the platform of the St. I.ouis
convention, and I can not too strongly ox-
press my dissent from the heretical
TEACniNQS of monopolists
that the welfare of the peoplo can be pro-
moted by a system of exorbitant taxes far
in excess wan' if govei mont. Tiie
Idea tlrritrjcan ue enriched by heavy
and unnecessary taxation, that man's con-
dition can be improved by taxing him
on all he wears, on all his wife
and children wear, on all his tools
and implements of industry, is an ob-
vious absurdity. To fill tlje vaults of the
treasury with an idle surplus for which the
government has no legitimate use and to
thereby deprive the people of currency
needed for their business and daily wants,
and to create powerful and dangerous stim-
ulus to extravagance und corruption in ex-
Eenditures of government seems to me to
e a policy at variance with every sound
principle of government and of political
economy. The necessity of reducing taxa-
tion to prevent such an accumulation of
surplus revenue and consequent depletion
of circulating medium is so apparent that
no party dares to deny it. But when wo
come to consider the modes by which reduc-
tion may be made we find wide antag-
onism between our party and the
monopolistic leaders of our political
opponents. We seek to reduce taxes upon
necessaries of life; our opponents seek to
increase them. Wo say, give to the masses
of the people oheap and good clothing,
cheap blankets, cheap tools and cheap lum-
ber. Republicans, by their platform and
their leaders in tho senate, by their pro-
posed bill say, inoroaso taxes on clothing
AHA blankets and thereby increase their
cost, maintain high duty on the tools of the
farmer and mechanic and upon lumber
which they need for the construction of
their modest dwellings, shops and barns,
and thereby prevent their obtaining these
necessaries at reasonable prices. Can any
sensible man doubt as to where he slioulil
stand in this controversy? Can any well-
informed man be deceived by the false pre-
tense that a system so
unreasonable and unjust
is for the benefit of laboring men?
Much is said about competition of Amer-
ican laborers with pauper labor of Europe,
but does not every man who looks around
him see and know that an immense major-
ity of laborers in America are not engaged
in what are called protected industries?
And as to those who are employed in such
industries, is it not undeniable that duties
proposed by a democratic measure called
the Mills bill, far exceed the difference be-
tween American and European wages, and
therefore, if it were admitted that
our workingmen can be protected
by tariffs against cheaper labor
they would be fully protected and
more than protected by that bill ? Does not
every well informed man know that an in-
crease in the price of homo manufactures
produced by high tariff does not go into
the pockets of tne laboring men, but only
tends to swell the profits of others? It seems
to me that if the policy of the democratic
party is plainly presented all must under-
stand that we seek to make the cost of liv-
ing less, and at the same time Increase the
share of the laboring man In the benefits of
national prosperity and growth. I am very
respectfully your obedient servant,
Allen g. Tiiuisman.

FAIK AND EXPOSITION.
ATTENDANCE LARGELY ENHANCED
BY REDUCTION OF ADMISSION.
Programme a Good One and Highly Ap-
preciated—The Music Superb and Grand
— Religious Exercises by Pueblo
Indians Entertaining.
"Dallas, Tex., October 14.—The atten-
dance to-day was vory large, the admission
fee had been put down to 95 cents and the
programme,though small,was a good one. It
consisted of a sacred conoert and music by
Liborati's military band of New York, re-
ligious services by the Pueblo Indians and
a drill and parado by the Dallas crack mili-
tary companies, tne Texas Light Guard
ana the Gaston Cadets. Tho band consists
of forty pieces and each one of
these has a muster at tfee end of it, aud the
performers were to-day especially devoted
to their work. This may nave been due to
the rapt attention given them from the first
note at 2o'clock until they concluded their
treat at 5 o'clock. The musical programme
consisted of solos by Liberati of marches,
gems from the operas, oopular melodies
and sacred musio. There was
La Paloma, which was such a
rage when played by the Mexican baud,
The First Heart's Throb, Nearer My God to
Thee, Grand Militory Tatoo, as performed
by the united military bands at Berlin be
fore the emperor of Germany, Blue Hells of
Scotland, Annie Laurie, Tho Last Rose of

Queen and other airs. The crowd applauded
always and did so most enthusiastically
when 1.1 be rati performed so wonderfully on
his cornet. That gentleman lias good cause
to feel complimented for the appreciation
shown his efforts to please.
the indians.
Tlie grand Btand was packed with people
to witness the religious ceremonies of the
Pueblo Indians. These people are Catho-
lics, but havo an open-air service peculiar to
themselves. They were dressed in their
best clothes and the women had on gay col
ors, blue and red predominating. They also
had their heads covered with black shawls
and their whole makeup was In conformity
with the Mexican stylo of dressing, as tho
Mexican people are their neighbors.
The explanation will be readily
seen. The younger pueblos formed in two
lines, each person carrying a gourd in which
wero beans. To these gourds were handles.
At tho end of the line was a drum of prim-
itive make, around which several men con-
gregated and chantod as one of tliein beat
it. Tho elderly women and children stood
to one side and watched the proceedings in
great seriousness. A young man and
woman, the former with a bean gourd and
the latter with two arrows, danced down
the aisle made by the two lilies, while the
Seople In the lines, lifting and pulling down

of tlio sumo kind of marking time. The
men on tho drums were the only partici-
pants who made any vocal nolso, the others
only rattling ,their gourds and stamping.
After the first couple finished thoy made
gestures as if seeding the earth with their
gourds. Two more couples took their turns,
and tho ceremonies were at an end.
II. G. Bushong of Ysleta has the Indians
In charge. He resides at that place and is
thoroughly conversant with their customs,
and they havo great confidence iu him. The
chief Indian is an qld man, perhaps 75 years
of age, whose name is Jose Madurdin.
Before the ceremonies began he preached a
short sermon in the Pueblo language. He
prayed that God would take care of his peo-
ple, as they wero among strangers, aud per-
mit their safe roturn home. He lately re-
turned home with a discharge from tho
government service, he having been a scout
or trailer. There are six of the tribe hero
who were employed us trailers by the
government in the search for Geronlmo
and other Apaches. The Pueblos are the
natural enomies of both Apaches and the
Comanehes. Thoy are farmers and are
peaceably disposed, but the most desperate
enemies the Apacho and Comanche ever
met were these people.
Aftor their services wore concluded the
Gaston cadets and the Texas Light Guard
went through their drills and maneuvers,
and were warmly applauded.

says: "The president of the sugar trust
(Mr. Havemeyor), a well-known aotivo
democrat of Now York, appeared
before the ways and means committee und
according to a statement mudo in open
senate by Mr. Allison of Iowa, obtained
such an arrangement of duty as was equiv-
alent to #0,000,(100 iu the pockets of the trust.
If, therefore, the price ot sugar has been un-
duly advanced to this consumer the respon-
sible parties according to the president's
doctrine are the president himself and the
ways and means committee, who concocted
the Mills bill iu tho interest of that trust."
Tho statement of Mr. Blaine is devoid of /
tho truth. Mr. Haveraeyer never appeared
before the ways and means committee
all. He never obtained any arrangement
by which W,000,000 was put Into tns
pockets of tho sugar trust. Tlie sugar trust
was formed under tho existing tariff made
by tho republican party in 1883, aud when
the bill recently passed by tho house was.
laid before the ways and means
committee for Its action every-
one of jthe five republican
members of that committee voted to strike
out tho reduction wo proposed, and con-
tinue tho tariff rates under which the
trust was formed. Yours truly,
r. q. Mills.
