which are formed by wicker work parti
tions, making when the curtains are low
cred, separate private rooms; but such is
the nature of the partition that
the air is allowed to circulate freely, and
thus does not afford the objection raised
against private apartment cars of other
patterns. Each room is provided with
water facilities and also an electric bell as
is customary in hotels. The apartments
connect with one of the by-doors which
can be opened when contiguous rooms are
occupied by large party, or kept closed
when used by single individuals. The
apartments are sufficiently large to enable
the occupants to dress and undress in
privacy, while the toilet facilities in the
room render them still more desirable.
The windows are supplied with double
glass, the lower part of the outer one being
composed of fine wire screen. This
allows the full circulation of air without
its usual concometant dust and cinders.
The same screen appliance is at each end
of the car, and permits delightful current
of fresh air to pass through the car while
in motion without any dust or smoke.
w ID. Standard, of the c. b. 81 O., is
highly pleased with the stateroom car as it
is called, and perdicts that it will soon take
the place of the old pattern.
The car is at the c.. B. e. O., depot in
this city and was visited during the day by
a number of railroad men and the general
public who pronounced it model sleeping

Captain Paul Boyton was one of the
passengers of the Arkansas, which passed
up at late hour yesterday afternoon The
captain is en- route to the falls Of ST. An.
thony, above Minneapolis, and expects to
reach his destination during the present
week. On arriving at that point he will
place in the river his floating boat Baby
and enrolled in his swimming suit will
start to follow the Mississippi river from
the falls as far south as Cairo.
The captain has already made the Ohio
river, the lower Mississippi, besides several
inferior streams in Europe, and it but re-
mains for him to float down the upper
Mississippi to have performed the most
complete circuit of the water ways of this
country.
1t is probable that Boyton will leave
Minneapolis the early part of next week,
and will pass Rock Island some time during
the latter part of the week.

HELD OVER.

This morning an examination was held
before Justice Cooke of the charge, as
sault with attempt to commit a criminal
offence, as preferred against John Barrett, a
young boy of Rapids City.
The assaulted party was little girl,
Emma Williams, of the same place, who is
just seven years old.
The case came before Justice Shurtliff
of Rapids City last Saturday at which time
the defendant was discharged.
A second warrant was issued by Justice
Chopper of this city yesterday. The ac'
cused party was brought down this morE-
ing. and change of venue was taken to
Justice Cooke.
The only witness for the prosecution was
T. J. Adams of Rapids City engaged in
the mill of that place. He gave an ac-
count of the affair which was considered
sufficiently storing to hold the prisoner.
The young boy was accordingly placed
under $3.50 bonds to appear at the next
term of Circuit Court.

\ plunge in the "'Briny" on hot sum-
mer's day is delightful thing, no doubt;
but more real benefit is derived from a
bath at your own residence, provided
Glenn's sulphur Soap is the purifier used.
Every pore is opened by the action of this
healthful cleanser, cake of which should
always be found on the washstand. 1t pos
sesses in an inspissated form the virtues of
the sulphur bath, a long recognized means
of removing eruptive maladies, rheuma-
tism, govt and abnormal conditions of the
skin. Ask the ladies, and they will tell
you it is the most salutary and reliable
beautifier of the complexion. When used
to disinfect linen and as a cleanser of vari-
Gus fabrics it is equally to be depended on.

POISON DODGE.

Clara Curnish was the name of female
who appeared before Police Magistrate
Cropper this morning on charge of
vagrancy. The testimony was submitted,
and it appeared plain that Clara was not an
ornament to the society of the city. The
court therefore held that she should be
punished for her nomadic existence. He
fined he SO and costs and sentenced her to
60 days in the jail on non-payment OF the
fine
Clara admitted that she was not indus
trious. and thought the sentence severe.
She attempted to have the same RENTED on
promising to leave for more congenial
chimes, but the court did not lend listen
ing ear, and informed her that the law
should be enforced. Seeing that she could
make no Roadway in that direction, Clara
attempted a new game. She brought from
the Utmost recesses of her pocket, small
druggist package upon which was marked
Poison" The white powder contained in
the package she proceeded to spallow. An
officer who was present, took the medicine
away from her, as he concluded that the
prisoner was about to kill herself.
The medicine proved to be quinine, and
not poison as the label would indicate, and
the prisoner was allowed to refresh herself
at pleasure with the bitter drug.
She was taken to the Jail, and will there
serve out her sentence.
