COMMENTS on ABOVE.

AZ we understand the case Mrs. Lewis claim,
for pension was on the ground that an eigh-
teen-year-o son had died while in the army.
and that said son was her sole dependence for
support. The war closed fourteen years ago,
and Mrs. Lewis bad a husband who was active
and Industrious, ESQ it is said) for period Of
twelve years since the close Of the war, and
who sickened and died but two years ago.
BY reference to the above it will be seen that
Mr.. Lewis still has son j. H. Lewis, whom
we understand is not by any means pauper ;
and beside it is said that she has daughter, or
daughters, who are also above penury. and
who would doubtless do something for the old
lady.
Well may Mr. Coleman, in the above de-
fense, say that "the call for evidence was of
such an exactng nature that the outlook for
furnishing the required evidence was very
doubtful" Probably the government did not
understand why and how the old lady Lewis
wss SO entirely dependent on the dead son for
support, while she had husband in robust
health, and other sons and daughters alive and
healthy. and with her and in her immediate
Deighborhood.
From the above defense, it would seem that
the article in the TRUE NoRIHERNER of week
before last was not so "erroneous and libel
ous after all.

second husband, step father Of the accused.
Bsebs's employment just before coming to
Dskota was on the stage line between beioit
and Rock Rapids, as driver. He is marred
and his wife is now . cook in hotel at belon'
She is sister Of the wife OF Mr. Williams, one
OF the witnesses for the prosecution. There ID
nothing particularly good in the record OF the
author OF this heartless crime, so Tar as we
can ascertain, while everything bearing upon
his past seems to indicate that he is imoued
with the spirit of recklessness 30 common on
the frontier He Doubtless belongs to the class
OF would-be desperadoes who exist along the
border and who feel that TO kill a man is an
achievement which gives them caste among
their fellows. "Sapd" is an ingredient neces-
sary to high position IN the element IN which
their lives are cast and cowardly murders are
often perpetrated that the murderer may prove
to his associates that he possesses the quality
of distinction. We can think OF no other
motive In this case. Boebe has made dime
novel hero OF himself at the sacrifice OF a
human life.
The murdered man was between twenty one
and twenty two years OF age anu was uumar-
ried. He came to Dakota last March from
Mazomane, Wisconsin, where he has mother
living. His uncle, man by the name OF
Brown, lives at Virginia, Union county. Land
phere was an inoffensive young man with little
experience in frontier ways. lie was a friend
OF Can.mack, who is also from Mazomanie
- .ho ,,,o hath vouno man warn ooino out
together to get start in the world.
The body yet hes under the bank at Crow
creek. III the weeds and bushes, whore the
murderer placed it, unless the wolves have
scented it and dragged 1T from its place Of con-
cealment. Deputy Edmunds has sent word to
the authorities at Fort Thompson TO hunt up
the remains and bury them.
The capture of Beebe ID due wholly to the
promptness of James Somers, OF Brule City.
But for his action the murderer would have
consummated his plans FOR escape, and once
out on the prairie with good horse under him
his apprehension would have been difficult and
expensive. Mr.. Somers is entitled to the
thanks OF the people for so effectually aiding
the capture and confinement Of red handed
murderer, and it is TO be hoped that he may be
recompensed for the expense he has incurred
in the interests of justice.
Beebe Is small sized man, apparently about
% years old, aud there Is nothing about his ap-
pearance to attract especial attention. He in
formed Deputy Marshal Edmunds that he
would like to have a talk with Bartlett Trip or
some other good lawyer, and also that he want
ed pen, ink and paper to write to his wife and
mother. Beebe was brought before Commits
sioner Congleton this afternoon for hearing
under charge OF murder. He waived exam
nation and was remanded to jail to await trial
at the next term OF the federal court

Mr.. CoLEMAN's ARREST.

No mention was made in the Republican last
week a. the arrest OF our townsman, Jerome
Coleman. on a charge OF taking more than
Lawful fees for prosecuting pension claim,
because the facts we're such that we felt in
ADEQUATE to the task OF explaining them salts
factorily. although we were satisfied that MIR.
Coleman had done nothing wrong, unlawful
or ungentemany in the matter. But very
erroneous and lbelous article in the last issue
OF the NOr1erRer prompts Us to say a few
words N Mr.. C.'s defense.
Nine years ago the attempt was made for
Mrs Lewis 10 procure q pension from the loss
OF son in the army, and, although the claim
was known to be rlghtful one, after prosecut-
ing il energeticaly for four years, the call for
evidence was OF such an exacting nature that
the outlook for furnishing the required evil
dence was very doubtful, ard Mr.. Coleman,
having furnished all the money up to that time,
refused 10 proceed farther unless she would
furnish money to pay expenses. Matters stood
thus for some years, Mrs. Lewis calling upon
him from time to time, to see what could be
done about the matter and was told by Cole
man that IL she would furnish the money to
paw expenses ne would do all he could to get
her claim allowed. Finally, in 1878, she, &C
companied by her son J. II. Lewis, came to
Coleman ard prevailed upon him to proceed
in the matter at his own expense, offering to
enterInto an agreement to give him one-half
OF the first money paid her by the Govern
ment. in compensation for what he would ad-
vance and the risk he would take, she stating
that her relatives, friends and neghbors had
been earnestly appealed to, bat would not help
her to dollar, and that she would prefer half
loaf to none. This was finally agreed to, and
Mr.. Coleman then commenced the work-a sort
OF leap in the dark. If he was successful he
would make quite well; il not he would lose all.
No one objected to this arrangement so long
as Mr.. Coleman was dong the work, paying
expenses and taking great chances on eveIy-
thing: but when the claim was finally allowed
and he amount forwarded and paid over ac-
cordng 10 agreement, then 1t was discovered
that Mrs. Lewis had plenty of friends and rela-
tlves who were greatly interested ii her well
fare, aad ready to pronounce the old lady
imbecile ard the whole matter a fraud

The celebrated Porcelain Tower near Nant-
ing China, is decribed by a traveller, who says ::
In the quiet evening We made our way out OF
the city by the south gate, through we'll con-
structed tunnel, and shortly stood upon gu
eminence whose surface was mass OF debris
consisting of broken bricks, tiles and plaster
several feet thick. This was all-all that was
left of that which, for its historic beauty, the
ingenuity OF its construction and its great cost
took rank with the wonders OF the world-the
famous Porcelain Tower. 1t must have been
very beautiful in its perfection, il we accept the
statements OF it's various historians, who differ
30 little in their accounts that one does for all
From them we learn Its form was octagonal
nine stories high, tapenng as 1t arose to the
height OF 261 feet from the ground, the circum-
ference of the lower story being 100 feet.
The body Of the pagoda was OF brick, but its
face was composed Of porcelain tiles Of many
colors. Each story formed kind of saloon
through which ran the spiral staircase leading
to the summit, and whose walls are covered
with small glrdled idols resting in inches, the
entire apartment richly painted and gilded.
Each story was defined by projecting cornice
OF green tiles, from whose points gilded bells
were hung.
The roof was overlaid with copper, and above
it rose mast thirty feet high, capped by
golden ball and cooled about an immense band
Of iron, appearing like rings from below. The
base of this shaft was an iron ball formed OF
two halves the outer surface of which is mag
nifcently embossed. 1 say is, for one-half
rests where it fell, the only tangible thing in
the mass OF rum. The other half, weighing
twelve tons, being broken by the fall, was recast
into temple bell.
Standing before the half which is left, we
query who were they that fashioned this beau
tiful casting, worthy the hand OF a master
Whose writing and inscription embeshed its
face unlike any Chinese workmanship. Whose
skill was great enough in A. ID. 1880 to place
ball Of iron thirty-six feet in circumference,
weighing twenty -four tons upon pedestal 261
feet high? This ball was the receptacle of
various treasures calculated to ward off evil
influences, among which were night shining
Jewels pearls, books, gold, silver, thousands
OF strings Of cash, satin, silk and priceless
medicine.
The number of bells on the structure was
152, and the interior was illuminated by several
hundred lamps, while the exterior required 1913
to light 1t. 1t took nineteen years to build ii
and cost 50, 315, 97S.
OF oil this, not one story rests on the other
lightning, fire and war have laid their hands
upon 1t and it fell, its fiual destroyer being the
Topping rebels about twenty years ago. 1t stood
in the grounds OF Buddhist monastery, which
fell at the same time a prey to the fanaticism
and rapacity OF the invaders. One work of art
within the grounds escaped destruction, pure
white marble tortoise, bearing upon his back
perpendicular tablet with an inscription. This.
with one solitary priest, keeps watch and ward |
over the RUNS Of bygone glory.

Nothing requires more care, judgment and
circumspection than the simple act Of visiting

never to be more than one spare chair in sick

knows what she is about would do we'll to place
an ice-pitcher on that chair, so that no one

delicate point, though they may save the soul,

on the person who speaks to the patient as IL
the illness was distinct Punishment for some
grievous sin,' and follows it up by sending
some book, with note containing these words |:

with his horse and wagon, rattles his equipage
all he can over the cobble-stones. Doctors,
sometimes, are as much at fault as visitors in
