Our May Races.

The Bismarck spring races will take
place next week, Saturday. BY that time
the mud will have dried up, and the track
will be in solid and first class condition.
The recent rains will prove of benefit to
the track, but they have interfered with
the work of fitting the steppers. The
coming event seems to be attracting but a
limited amount of attention at present. It
is to be hoped that those having the meet:
ing in char ge will not allow it to go by
default. A day of sport at the track
would afford much needed recreation to
many of our citizens who can not be at
tracted from their ledgers by anything
but a gala day on the turf. There are
number of good horses in this city and
vicinity that can make an interesting g race,
and we trust that the meeting may be rem
dered success by the men having the
matter in hand.

be demanded to satisfy the vengeance of
Irish landlordism, and he has intorma
ton that he himself will be the one selec-
ted.
LONDON, May 11.-Michael Davitt, in
his letter to the Standard, after referring
Forster to his (Davitt's) speech in which
he held Forster responsible before God,
for the consequences tha: would inevita-
bly, follow the policy of coercion, admits
that he is convicted Fenian, convicted
on false charges, sworn to by salarcd per-
jurers, and asks fair-minded Englishmen
to put themselves in the place OF some
evicted Irish peasant and ask whether
it is any stigma to an Irishman that he
has been Fenian.
DUBLIN, May 11--Trevelyan, new chief
secretary for Ireland, and Lady Spencer
have arrived here. The former was warm
ly cheereq by the populace. He was es-
co1ted to the castle by mounted police.
He had an interview with Lord Spencer.
The United Ireland, instead of the usual
cartoon, this morning presented border
surrounding the words I'm token of ab-
horrence Of the shame cast upon the char
;.cter of our nation for manllness and hos
pitality, by the assassination of Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Under secretary
Burke" The paper has an article saying
despair is hardly the word to describe
the first sensation with which we saw the
prize wen by years Of suffering ship
wrecked in the moment of victory by mad
and desperate hands,. The article is
contrasted with one in last weeks issue,
which it denounces the castle officials as
xest of vipers, aid said the rats
in the cellar of the castle had better
beware of traps, as vermin were going to
have bad time. 'f..5... .t Il : s5s.. ::s
Disappointment is generally expressed
at the failure Of the police to discover
anything important concerning the iden-
tity OF the assassins, and the feeling is
growing that they have escaped. On in
quiry among the principal ironmongers
here the police ascertained that the same
suspicious looking persons recently pur-
chased several long knives. The chief
constable of Southport England, is
directed to proceed to Dublin with man
who said he chad been offered one hun
dred pounds to assist in a murder" The
mans name is Nargle. A man named
Doherty was arrested at Belfast. He re-

rests have been made.

that there was company at st. Louis at
tending to 1t, Burt and Miller, and was going
to send them there; this was about six weeks
ago. I acknowledge the filing up of the
acknowledgement and the signatures of the
parties to assignments to be my handwrit-
ing; never saw the papers any place but at
John Cameron's office. Saw j. D. Cameron
paste the assignments to the certificates;
asked me to fill part of them for him; filled
up slue of them; it took pretty nearly q
whole day.
P. A. Hevervood was before the grand
jury all the morning, and it is said that
before the grand jury gets through other
arrests will be made. Cameron is yet in
close confinement, and no one is allowed
to see him. The air is full of rumors in
regard to the action of the grand jury, but
all that can be learned positively is that
w. H. Russe|l,a Yankton land agent, was
arrested at $3.50 O'Clock. According TO
the evcnce of Helvervold, it was Russell
who signed the name of G. w. Williams
to the certificates.

You Tickle NE, I'LZ Tackle You.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 7.-There is a
call for general caucus of republican
delegates at Mix tomorrow, but other
caucuses will be held meanwhile. Sena-
tor Blair is uot here yet, nor is Wolfe.
Chris Magee arrived this afternoon, to-
gether with some Philadelphia delegates,
including District Attorney Graham.
Magee has been to New York. Members
of the Allegheny delegation charge him
with acting IN bad faith for the purpose
of ending The Cameron-Rowle programme
against Brown, and they are holding out
to McMann and delegates proposition
to "help us on Brown and we will give
you the secretaryship OF internal affairs"
There is great deal of bad feeling
among the regulars against Wolfe, and
the discomfort grows wider and deeper
hourly. If there was any one to concen-
trate the force there is here in this feel
ing, il would become an open revolt that
would make his nomination impossible.

The Bogus Scrip SsUi,,tlLe.

YANKToN. May 1.-the bottom is in
fair way to fall out of the Santa Fe land
scrip frauds, at least 50 & tar as southern
Dakota is concerned. Ps A. Hevervoid,
of Sioux Falls, was brought here on the
night Of the 9Th under arrest for compile
ity in the fraudulent scrip scheme. Hev-
ervoid is about 21 years old and seems to
be easily Influenced. He was advised to
turn states evidence, and late on the
evening of the 10th he made a confession
before Marshal Gray, Marshal Svest
of St. Louis, and Special Agent w. w.
Burke of the land department, to the lat
ter of whom belongs the entire credit of
unearthing this gigantic fraud, beth in
Dakota and st. Louis. Hevervoid's con-
fession is as follows:
About one month ago Cameron called me
into his Office and asked me If wanted to
make big stake in a short time, and said
yes, if it was legitimate would like to, and
scrip; that he was in with some St. Louis
fellows on it, and asked me If wanted to go
up to Madison and Flandreau to sell it to
banks and he would give me contract and
power of attorney. told him would con-
slider the matter. I then went and talked
with T. j. Wolf about it, Cameron told me
not to say anything about It, Did not at the
time know it was fraudulent scrip. Wolf
said there might be some swindle in it, and
had better not have anything to do with it.
I then told Cameron I would have nothing to
do with it: In few days afterward Cameron
told me to come up to his office,
as he had some blanks there, and he
wanted me to do some writiug for him,
and he showed me some blanks and told me
what to put in; think filed over 100. Cam
eron told me they were not genuine, and he
was going to send them to St. Louis to some
parties that were to be there in the band,

Terrible Boston Tragedy.

! BOSTON, May 9.-Mary Koenig, a Ger
man, and spoken of as an industrious and
frugal wife, has recently been deserted
by her husband. Her troubles worked
upon her mind to such an extent that rea-
son finally gave way. But one thought
seemed to control her-that by killing
her children and herself her
troubles would then be euded.
The names of the children were Emily,
II years, Mary 13, Alfred 10, August 5.
Mrs. Koenig, who is 46, had rooms in the
Warrenton block, third floor. She armed
herself with a table knife and pocket
knife, aad entered the room where the
children were sleeping this morning. She
first attacked August and cut his throat
from ear to ear. It is notsuppose that he
made a sound, else the other children
would have awakened. The woman next
assaulted Mary, cutting her throat in three
places, and probably fatally. The girl
ran screaming out of the apartments into
the rooms opposite, occupied by other
persons. The screams of the girl were
supplemented by those of Mrs. Koenig,
and the widest excitement pre-
vailed, though hone of the neigh bors
dared to enter the rooms. Meantime
Mrs. Koenig stabbed Alfred in dozen
places in the left arm. She then assault
ted Emily, who resisted, although she re-
ce1ved a wound on the left elbow. When
the officers came they found her sitting
on the floor IN pool of blood, having cut
severe cash in her leg. She made at
tempts to open the arteries in both
wrists. She appeared composed, and ex-
pressed herself as satisfied with the
Slaughter she thought she had commit
ted. The officers took her to the station,
where her wounds were dressed, and she
was afterwards placed IN a padded cell.

The greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa, and perhaps any other State, is
what is called the Walled Lake." in
Wright county, twelve miles north of
the Dubuque and Pacific railway and
$50 miles west of Dubuque City. The
lake is from two To three feet higher
than the earths surface In some
places the wall is 10 feet high, Is feet
wide at the bottom and 5 feet on the
top. Another fact is the size of the
stones used in construction, the whole
OF them varying in weight from three
tons down to 100 pounds. There is an
abundance of stone in Wright county,
but surrounding the lake to the extent
of five or ten miles there are none. No
one can form an idea rs to the means
employed to bring them TO the spot, or
who constructed it. Around the entire
lake is belt of woodland half mile
in length, composed of oak; with this
exception the country is rolling
prairie. The trees must have been
planted there at the time of the build
ing of the wall. In the spring of 1856
there was great storm, and the ice on
the lake broke the wall in several
places, and the farmers in the vicinity
were obliged to repair the damages to
prevent humiliation. The lake occupies
q ground surface of $500 acres; depth
of water rs great as 35 feet The water
is clear and cold; soil sandy and loamy.
1t is singular that no one has been able
to ascertain where the water comes
from nor where it goes, yet it is always
clear and fresh.--Erchd,age.

yErBuSARY surgery is looked upon
with much more favor than was the case
thirty or forty years ago. There are
now many more veterinary surgeons
who have passed regular medical
course than the 20 formerly were, and to
prescribe for sick horses and cattle is
not cons dered beneath the diznity of q
regular M. ID. As animals have not
usually been druQged or dosed with
stimuIants they respond moro readily to
sim nle remedies than is the case with
most human pat cnts.
