FROM CAPITAL OF HADES. THE LATE AGNOSTIC FIND3 THINGS QUITE REALISTIC. Wolfe Howies of the Pinkneyville Democrat, is in receipt of a letter from the late Bob Ingersoll.

It is under date of "Banks of the Styx, Sheol, August 3, 1899: I will endeavor to write you a letter I promised you before leaving New York. Sam Jones inadvertently told the truth, for just as he predicted, and as I myself secretly expected, I am in Hades. Came straight throug without a stop. I am sitting on a hot cinder writing this letter on a piece of slate gouged from the ceiling with my trident. A "trident," you know, is one of the funny little pitchforks like Neptune used to carry with him at the seaside.

Everyody here has one and it makes a fellow think he's at a pop convention- When I was on earth I didn't believe in hell, for I had traveled in Kansas and didn't think there could be two places so much alike. But I hadn't been here half a day until I believed it a whole lot. It is much more genuine and realistic than I anticipated, but I think I'll like it when I get acclimated. Just now my feet are blistered from walking on the hot pavements and I'm dabbling them in the Styx to cool them off. I was talking to Moses a while ago and he says they will soon get calloused and then I'll be hunkadory.

He has read my "Mistakes of Moses" and laughingly admitted that he made a good many when he was new to the business. He is a jovial old cuss and I rather like him. Told me on the dead everything here is "on the dead that he didn't write the Pentateuch but knows who did. There are lots of people here and strangers arrive here daily. But I would adviso you to come down in the fall or winter and even then you needn't bring anything but a light summer suit.

You won't need an umbrella, overcoat or skates, but you might bring along a palm leaf fan or two. For an "imaginary," "mythical," figurate," 'allegorical," "unorthodox" hell this is about the hottest one I ever got into. But say, I got here just in time to strike a snap. Henry Ward Beecher has just been retired on account of age and Mephistopheles appointed me to succeed him as governor of the New York" colony the largest one here. I have a lovely new trident with little spear-pointed busi- nesses on the tines, and the devil has promised to get me a long red tail and a pair of horns when he goes to the city next week.

He seems to have taken a fancy to me. There are ministers here of every denomination and several camp meetings are in progress down the river. Horace Greeley introduced me to Spurgeon and old Peter Cartwright last evening and we had a very pleasant little lark to- gether. They expect Talmage to join them before long. I have also shaken hands with Tom Paine and Voltaire and find them very pleasant gentlemen.

Said they had watched my career for some time and expected me daily. Een Franklin called on me this morning. He is wearing his hair short just now and doesn't look so much like Queen Liliouk-alani as he used to. I never could tell their pictures apart. Of course the trust is bigger than a chipmunk.

Solomon and Brigham Young have all the "women cornered and the politicians are organizing to defeat the present administration and elect a new devil. They want me to make the nom-nating speech. You know I nominated Blaine for president once and did it up in shape. Don't know who will be the nominee. Jay Gould is running well on account of his money and Judas Iscariot and Ananias are quite popular, I wish you would send me the papers, I would like to see what is being said about me.

Suppose they will print a lot of my letters and publish, enough pic- tures of me to start a rogue's gallery, and every little two-by-four preacher will tell "how it happened," and water-brain spiritualists will commune with my spirit and tell all that sort of thine. Wish the whole dod-rotted pack were down here a whilethey wouldn't feel so all-fired good. I must close. We need rain down here ithe worst kind crops are almost a fail ure, lr you re ever aown tnis way, urup in. Yours truly, BOB INGERSOLL.

John Allen, Injured at St. Louis Saturday Dies Without Regaining Consciousness. Democratic Papers in Louisville for the First Time Concede a Lead for the Re-publican Candidate for Governor. Louisville, Nov. IS.

At Glasgow, Judge Jones rendered his decision in the Nelson county case, granting the writ asked for by the plaintiff, William S. Taylor, directing the precinct election officers of that county to correct the error in their certificates and make a true certification of the votes cast in their respective precincts for William S. Taylor, heretofore certified by them for William P. Taylor. Democratic newspaper figures for the first time show pluralities for Taylor on official returns from 118 counties, Jefferson being the only missing county.

The republican candidate has a plurality of 261. In these figures the unofficial vote of Jefferson county is taken. Returns from official count received from republican newspaper sources and at the republican state headquarters show a plurality of 3,134 for Taylor. The descrepancy in these votes cannot accounted for until the returns are made to the state board. MAY BE A GREAT STRIKE.

President of tbe United Mine Workers Talks of Calling Oat 15,000 Men' in the Southwest. Indianapolis, Nov. 18. The executive board of the United Mine workers adjourned Saturday. Before closing their session they voted to order a general strike in the southwest unless certain railroad and coal companies consider demands made noon their presidents by wire.

The mines involved are in the Indian territory, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. The threatened strike would affect all coal miners working for operators shipping coal over several railroads named. There are now 5,000 miners idle in these mines owing to the trouble between the men and the coal companies. "The companies will not pay the union scale," said President Mitchell, "and we have decided to bring the trouble to an end. If the presidents to whom I send telegrams ignore my messagethat is, refuse to answer them or agree to meet us in conference I shall at once order a strike and- it will take 15,000 men out."

Countermine Returns From His Eastern Trip. HE EXPECTS A GALL FROM PETOSA Gives a Frank Expose of the Grouad-work of Swivelled Tongues. Rev. J. L.

Countermine, pastor of the Preeibyterian church of Atchison, returned from his extended easterai trip yesterday. He came direct from-Petosa, -where 'he expects a call, but will not know for sure before Tuesday. Mrs. Countermine, who is at the home of her birth, Vinton, will be home in a few days. To a Champion man Rev.

Countermine said! his reason for leaving Atchison was solely because of a lack of co-operation. For eome time tongues of gossip with swivels greased with -devil's oil have wagged continuously, while they gossiped to every one. they were "trying to keep a profound secret." Papers have also hinted at some sensation which would spring before the sewing circle with Greek fire blinding force. Rev. Countermine gave The Champion man a frank statement of the whole affair.

It seems from) Rev. Countermine's version, that about nine months ago a woman named Arnold came here from Independence bearing a letter of membership in the Presbyterian! church there. She rented a house on Division street and hung out a sign! as She called on the pastor. She said she had no money and! needed eomething to eat, and asked" the pastor to vouch for at Stuckburry's fcr groceries and Kroeming for meat. Rev.

Countermine went wilhi the woman and told the merchants of the letter from the church; also that he had written to the pastor of the Independence church, receiving a reply that the" woman was a member in good standing; that she was poor, but of good! character, ar.d she got credit, about eleven dollars at the grocery store, and only a small amount at the butcher's. Some time after a mam named Topple put in an appearance, claiming to be Mrs. Arnbld's uncle. Mrs. wanted work, and Rev.

Countermine took her to his home and put her to family work. She was there a few days, when ehe said she would rather keep house and' do sewing, as she was a dressmaker, and) left the Countermine home. Finally, Topple changed his claim, of "relationship with the woman and! Eaid she was his sweetheart, and had promised to marry him. He also put in a claim! that while Mrs. Arnold was at the Countermine home, the pastor had alienated the woman's affections, Mrs.

Arnold and Topple left Atchison, and it is said she went to Bendena, leaving the grocer and1 butcher bills fcr Rev. Countermine to pay or avoid, as he saw fit. Topple wrote to an attorney bf Atchison in regard to a suit for damages through the alleged alienation of the affianced's' affections "So far as I am. corcerned," said Rev. Countermine, "I am innocent of any wrong in thought, intention' or deed.

I simply aided an unfortunate woman, and I believe a worthy one. I feel sure Mrs. Arnold would bear me out in this. I ami also satisfied! that Mrs. Arnold is not wfcat the worlcl calls "a bad woman." Topple may have been jealous; of this I do not know.

If so it was wholly unjustified." 1 Rev. Countermine eays he wrote the local papers of his whereabouts, and prospects, because a rumor had reach ed him that he was trying to get away I frm' Atchison to some point where he could not be located.

HE IS LIVING WITH THREE WIVES JVlarried Before Poligamy Law Passed But That Cuts No Figure, Salt Lake City, Utah. When Brigham Henry Roberts, Utah's polygamous congressman-elect, attempts to take the oath of office in the lower house at Washington, at the opening of the session next month, he will almost certainly be asked step aside pending an investigation into the charge that he is now livins openly with three wives and has been doing so for years in defiance of a law that was expressly passed first by congress And afterward by Utah when the territory became a state, to cover just such cases as his, 'and forever end such unholy relations.

His "wifely triumvirate is composed of Sarah Louise Smith Roberts, whom he married in 1878 and who is the legal wife. Celia Dibble Roberts, to whom he was ''sea'-in 1S83 or 1884, and Dr. Maggie C. Shipp, who did not publicly take the name of Roberts until April 12, 1897, although he claims to have married her prior to September 26, 1S90, when the Mormon church Issued a manifesto sus- irifniHnir nlnml not nbnlishinc 1' 0 them permanently, as is generally believed throughout the east. Roberts is living openly with his three "Wives, spending one night with one and the next with another, or arranging his visits to suit his fancy.

lie supports them in separate homes, and during his absence his monthly check of $416 from the government is divided up among them by George E. Hill, his private secretary. Before his election to congress it was probably not so easy for Roberts to provide for his three wives and their eleven children, for his salary from the church in whose pay he has been for years, is said to have been only $100 a month. Maggie Shipp, however, is thought to support herself from the practice of medicine. Roberts has never denied his polygamous relations with his three wives Not only that, but he openly defies the Jaw by declaring that he will continue these relations.

Adah Roberts, the congressman's 20-year-old daughter, who will accompany him to Washington, told me that she was proud of the fact that her father had three wives, and had always "lived his by living with them. Adah is an avowed polygamist, though she insists that the doctrine of plural marriages is not now taught by the church. I have seen and talked with the three wives and I asked each one of them to deny, if she could, that Roberts had lived with her continuously and religiously. No word of denial came from the lips of any of them. Roberts has had six children by his first wife and five by hl3 second one.

Twins that were born to Celia Dibble Roberts August 11, 1S07, furnish indisputable proof of the charge of adultery. Through the trickery of a Mormon county attorney Roberts escaped prosecution that charge. The first and second Mrs. Roberts live In Centerville, a town in Davisco, twelve miles north of Salt Lake City, and the I third wife resides at 75 North Statt street, In this city, within the shades of the Mormon church headquarters. Roberts was indicted for unlawful co- habitation with Celia Dibble Roberts in Salt Lake City on February 8, 1S87, and was released by United States Commis sloner William McKay on a $1,500 bond.

He jumped his ball, and it was given out that he had been called away on a mission to England and could not wait until the law was through with him. His bond was ordered forfeited and a new warrant issued for his arrest. He returned, it is alleged, by agreement April 29, 1S89, and, in appreciation of his surrender bondsmen were released from their obligation. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to be imprisoned for four months in the state penitentiary and to pay a fine of $200. He served his time "honorably," as the Mormon record put It, but the fine was never paid, and the court record shows that he still owes the government with interest for a little over ten years.

Roberts claim that he married Maggie Shipp prior to the issuance of the ISO manifesto suspending polygamy and that he has consequently violated no church law, which all Mormons put ahead ot the law of the land, is popularly regard ed as being an evasion. So far as the Jaw is concerned, the date of the second marriage cuts no figure. Even though Roberts can not be convicted of contracting a plural marriage since 18S9, he can be still be convicted for continuing to live with his third wife in defiance of the law. The question as to Roberts' citizenship come up In this way: The Edmunds law of 1SS2 disqualified polygamists from holding office, voting or sitting on juries. This naturally disqualified Roberts with thousands of others of his class.

The amnesty proclamation issued by President Harrison January 4, 1S92, pardoned all offenders against the unlawful cohabitation law "who since Nov. 1, 1S90, have abstained from such unlawful cohabitation, but upon the express ccnditlon that they shall In future faithfully obey the law of the United States, and not otherwise." The amnesty granted September 24, 1894, l7 President Cleveland went a little further in its pardons and restoration of the franchise, but specifically excepted "such persons as have not complied with the conditions contained in tbe executive proclamation of January 4, 1S93." I 'As Roberta never availed himself of the I I I Rumor Says Boer Commander Fell While in Action at Ladysmith Nov. 9. MAY HAVE EXPOSED HIMSELF Ladysmith Was Still Under Bombardment on the iath, but Boers Were Suffering for Lack of Supplies. London, Nov.

16. The most startling news from the seat of war is the report of the death of Gen. Piet Joubert. enm- TnlTl1ain I .1 "I J1 uiauubi-iu-vuici ui iiie uuer lurucs. While the report comes from many dif-erent quarters, it obviously lacks con firmation.

the same time many people believe the report to be well founded, as the general's death is said to have occurred November 9, when the Boer riflemen were understood to be within 1,500 yards of Ladysmith. As severe fighting between the British and the Boers the same day has since been reported, it is regarded in some quarfers as quite possible that Gen. Joubert, always noted for his personal courage and coolness, may have dangerously exposed himself in a personal reconnaisance of the British position. If Joubert was really killed on the battlefield it would seem to be the fittest death for such a gallant soldier. Even his foes admit that he fought squarely.

The driblets of news bring information that Ladysmith was still undergoing bombardment Sunday from six 40-pounders, while the British naval guns were silent. The Boers, it consequently appears, have got more heavy guns into position, while either the British ammunition has given out or the British gunners are reserving their fire, in view of the poor practice made by the besiegers. The report that the Boers have penetrated southward fromColenso toChiv-elri, where they are said to have cut the railroad, shows, it is claimad, that they are adopting a proper strategical plan to impede the advance of the British relieving force. According to the latest advices from British sources at Estcourt, the Boers are suffering from lack of supplies. Ladysmith seems to be well provi- sioned and the entrenchments are daily cein Stnorttiened.

REPUBLICAN FRAUDS. OFFICIAL COUNT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP GOEBEL GAINS. Louisville, Nov. 16. -Republican frauds continue to be exposed in the official count of the ballots.

Besides the ir regularities discovered and thrown out in Christian county and the city of Cynthiana, netting Goebel 243 votes, the count in Louisville continues to show bal lots cast. but not counted for Goebel. In one precinct alone fifty-two votes were found cast for him that, had not been counted. Heavy irregularities have been noted, which will form additional grounds for a contest. The sessions of the state 'election com missioners at Frankfort, ten days hence, will be sensational.

The commissioners of Knox county have given notice that they will file a supplemental statement. These commissioners certified to the vote of the county as giving a plurality of (1,385 for Taylor. This was done in the 'face of an armed and drunken force and mandatory injunction. They will assert Ijthat gross frauds and intimidations were practiced, that they were overawed and forced to sign and will ask that the vote 'of the entire county be thrown out. The Republican injunction in Nelson county to compel the certification for Taylor of the votes cast for-W.

P. Tay lor will be heard at Glasgow on Friday, This matter will also come before the state board if an injunction be granted. The frauds in Johnson county, where transparent ballots were used, will also come up. The official votes of five counties are unreported and there Is no actual change in the result, the Goebel gains In Louisville not being counted until the I full vote of the county has been can f.vassed. This work proceeds slowly on ac- 'Republicans raided the polls.

Some of the precincts were not even counted by the election officers, who, fearing vio- ilence, locked ballots and ballot books up and hurried them to the courthouse. De liberate falsifications have been discov ered in numerous instances where the vote was counted and certification com pelled by threats. Injunction proceedings idv the court or anDeais put a stop to xne action of Judge Toney in the Louisville law and equity court, who was punishing thirty-six Democratic election officers for contempt in refusing to allow Brown inspectors admittance to the polls. The full bench of the court acted on the writ of prohibition, but Judge Burn- mam (rep.) dissented. Only one man had been convicted when the action was tak- and he was released.

The writ post pones action for two weeks, by which time the excitement and feeling will have subsided. The election cases at Lexing ton were called and continued. The count in Louisville goes slowly on, and many more irregularities, were developed. Slight Democratic gains were made on the day. CITIZEN TRAIN A WRECK.

CURTIS-BURTON DEAL THEY UNITED TO OPPOSE BAKER AND BAILEY IN KANSAS. Leavenworth, Nov.

17. A story of a Curtis-Burton deal was brought to Leavenworth last night and has caused a stir in political circles. It is reported that Representative Curtis of the First congressional district has entered into an arrangement with J. R. Burton to sup.

port him for United States senator to suc ceed Lucien Baker. In turn Burton Is to support Curtis for senator to succeed V. A. Harris in 1903. Senator Baker's friends were surprised to say the least, as friends of Congressman Curtis have persistently asked Mr.

Baker to remain neutral in the approach ing First district contest between Curtis- and Bailey. In return they promised the-' senator that he should have' the active support of Curtis' friends In Shawnee -county and the Fourth district for reelection to the senate. Up to this time Senator Baker has refused to take a hand in the congressional fight but if the report of a Curtis-Burton deal proves true there will be nothing left for Baker's, friends except to join Cyrus Leland and -Representative W. J. Bailev to oppose Curtis's nomination in the First district.

In connection with the Curtis-Burton senatorial deal it is reported that Curtis, has secured a partial promise to have Burton made "attorney for the Chickasaw Indians" under the interior department, and that he is to have a salary of $5,000 a year. It will be remembered that Burton announced Monday that hfr had decided to return to the practice of law and that he had formed a partnership with Mr. Dewey of Abilene. It i said that there is no necessity for a "Chickasaw Indian attorney" and that the attempt to make this place for Burton is simply Curtis's method of providing Burton with a neat little fund for-the senatorial campaign. It is said that Thomas Ryan, assistant secretary of the interior, is with Curtis In the effort to get Burton a place with a salary.

Cyrus Leland and Senator Baker are both aware of what Is going on In Washington, and it Is said that Leland and others are working to hold un this "Indian attorneyship." It 1 klgQ reported that there will be no commission issued to Burton until Sena tor Baker, Congressman Bailey and other Kansans arrive in Washington and are heard. If Burton gets this "Indian at torneyship," which by the way. Is a new office, it will be over the protest of Leland and others. The friends of Senator Baker are not disturbed in the slightest degree by the. report of a Curtis-Burton deal.

Senator' Baker has held off from taking sides against Curtis up to this time. During a conference between Senator Baker, Ike Lambert, United States attor ney, and Frank" Brown, clerk of the federal court, last night, the Curtis-Burton combination was discussed and plan3 to checkmate it were considered.
