ELECTRIC LOVE MAKING.
Romantic Courtship and Marriage of
Two Teleg graphists.


CHICAGO, November 30.-A romantic mar
risge took place to day at the Briggs
House, being the elimination OF several
years courtship over the wire between a
fair-ha;red maiden named Minnie CDell,
of st. John. n. B , and Harry H. Arlington,
of Fort Worth, Texas. The two were tele
graph operators, and their acquaintance
by wire began several years ago, when the
young lady accidentally sent a message
which was received by the Fort Worth
operator mentioned. The friendship by
wire sprung up and the two frequently
couyersed in the intervals not employed
They babe each other good morning and
kissed each other good night by electricity.
Finally Arlington proposed, and was &C
cep;ed in lightning time. The first meet
ing at the Briggs House Was genuine
love scene, shortly after which clergy.
man was called in, and the two operators
made one, but not by wire.

The Only Intimidation Practiced I'm
Virginia

was the intimidation OF Coalition negroes
upon negroes. All their social aud relig-
ious organizations were used to this effect
with ruthless power, and proofs are not
wanting that the leaders OF the Coalition
party knew how to employ negroes for such
coercion.
The election machinery, as has been said,
was almost without exception in the hands
of the Coalitionists. Their registrars and
Judges committed many illegal and frau iu
lent acts. which in due time will be brought
to tight. They registered illegal and fraud
ulent voters; they allowed mea to vote who
were not registered or duly transferred, the
Judges of election sometimes declining 10
examine the registration books TO ascer-
tain whether men offering to vote were
registered, their only test being the voters
coalition proclivities.

sam Wal Mt the Zoo.

Philadelphia Record
Sam Wah, of Wilmington, Delaware, as
mild-eyed Celestial as ever sprayed "A linen
shirt, visited the Zoo OH last Thursday, and,
after having ''heaplee fun in the monkey
house, stopped over at the elephants home,
and watched with much interest the little
girls foed the huge quadrupels with peanuts
and cake. A party Of wicked lads noted tho
contemplative satisfaction with which Sam
regarded the scene. They begui;ed the limo.
cent fiat-iron artist into conversation, and
finally pursuaded him to give one Of the ele-
phants ginger cake which they had dosed
with red pepper. They then retired to watch
for the result Sam patted the animals
trunk softly with one hand, and remarked /:
"Eatlee mnchee"
The elephant closed its eyes lazily aud
reached out for the cake with it's long trunk.
Sam gazed with placid satisfaction at the
beast as il curled up its trunk and poked the
cake down it throat Then the elephants
little eyes snapped viciously. Sam did not
appear TO notice this, and turned around to
get another cake. As he did 50 the elephant
reached out his long trunk and wound Il
about the luckleSs Chinaman's body. Then
there was q whirl and the thud Of a China
mans body twelve feet outside of the ropes
The keeper rushed to tho scene and promptly
pulled Sans head from parrot cage, where
II had been janmed, and carried him ont for
dead At the door, however. Sam revived,
opened his eyes, and remarked: 'Muchee

walked refectively to the station. He took
the next train for Wilmington where he con.
fideutially said to friend: "Chinaman

A Dakota Woman.

Devils Lake Inter-Occan.
Much has been written concerning
Dakota lady claim holders, and hitherto
the south and east portions of the Terri
tory have taken the prize in these
matters. However, the Devils Lake
region is coming to the front with its
full share of western phenomena, and
we have this week to relate the .eXper-
fence, endurance and pluck of Mrs.
Agnes Bail, widow lady who came
here year ago and took claim near
Olessa. To begin with, Mrs. Ball paid
S75 for a shack and had it moved upon
her claim. 1t caught fire soon after
wards and was totally DESTROYED. She
had another one built and moved on,
and in this she has continued to live to
the present time. Mrs. Ball has cooked
her food upon sheetiron camp stove,
which has also served the purpose of a
heater. She employed Il man to haul
her fuel, and welded the buck.saw her
self to put it in shape for the stove.
Mrs. Ball carried the water she used
distance Of three-fourths of Il mile, but
some of her neighbors having found
water at ten and fifteen feet by digging,
she concluded that well on her place
would he good property; so after many
futile efforts to hire man 10 dig Il well
for her, she set about the work herself.
and struck fine vein Of water eight
feet down. Her well digging apparatus
was very meagre, and she found it nee
essary to use some of her cooking uten-
sils to remove the dirt. Mrs. Ball killed
ducks and prairie chickens with Il revol
yer during the game season, and her
table was frequently supplied with the
meat of these fowls.
Now tins is a true story, and most
people will say that Mrs. Ball is GER
tainly tired OF Dakota life, but she is
not. She has two more land rights
which she proposes 70 use rs soon as
possible. In the meantime she will
improve the land she has SO richly
earned.

Huron I.nalpr,

Huron Leader
Rev. .. T.. Murray was sent by the
last Conference to preach in Pierre the
ensuing year. Pierre is the eastern
terminus Of the freighting and stage
lines that run between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills. Therefore
it necessarily contains Il great many
rough men who drive stages, drive oxen
and herd cattle. The latter are known
as cowboys" A day or two after Mr..
Murray reached Pierre he was waited
on by Il cowboy-whose gun hung in his
belt--who said: Say Elder, one of
our boys died last night, down on the
wharf. We want you to come down
and talk u little, will you? But say,
Elder, jim was pretty tough cuss-
lots of us are. We buttonhole each
other now and then. But want to tell
you Elder, if you come we don't want
you to drag jim all over hell before you
get through with him. Will You come
and remember this?" The Elder is a
fearless Christian gentleman, who is no
more afraid of a cowboys revolver than
than he is Of the devil. He replied :
"I'll come down and give jim decent
Christian burial but won't make you
any other promise. Well: come on, y
said the rough mourner for Jim's death.
The Elder went to tha place appointed
and found il dark cellar, in which the
light was SO dim that he could not see
TO read the Bible. Chaplain McCabc
happened to be present, and he says
there were about twenty cowboys
ranged around the room, all with rcvol-
vers in their belts and visible to all.
Mr.. Murray talked to them about twenty
minutes in a very earnest, faithful
manner, and Chaplain McCabc says
that he saw tears trickling down the
cheeks of many Of the boys While the
minister addressed them. They buried
Jim by the side Of Rowing Bill, " who
died with his boots on" and nineteen
bullet holes in him. After the
funeral many OF the rough frontiersmen
went t0 Mr.. Murray and thanked him
for what lie said to them.

Pierre Signal.

Senator Vest and Representative
Maginnis went to Montana for the Dur-
pose of treating with the Blackfeet
Indians for their reservation. In less
than two weeks they accomplished their
task and prevailed upon the Indians TO
give up their lands (which is larger than
the State of Maine) and consent to Il
removal of their entire body - over
5000 in number. The terms stipulated
are of the same nature that are offered
the Sioux nation. And now what we
want to know is why a tract of land,
almost joining the British possessions,
is SO easily opened for the benefit of the
Northern Pacific railroad, and tract
of land in the heart of Dakota, abso-
lutely valueless to the Indian himself
yet of paramount Importance to the
people of Dakota and the commercial
interests Of the Northwest, is withheld
from settlement, by what or whom.

tons have already been presented in

delegation from Dakota will be here
after the holidays to urge, in connection
with division and admissions, the OPEN
ing up Of this vast country to public

Of Il portion Of this reservation TO the

take up a large tract of good lands

THE following stolen paragraph con-

THE following stolen paragraph con-
tains wholesome suggestions:
Anovel mode of administering justice
has been introduced in the City Court
of LOU sville, Ky, by Judge Thompson.
Whena parent appears before him with
a refractory son and makes charges
which cannot be ignored, the Judge, in
case he perceiyes Indications of latent
goodness in the boys face, invites the
parent to escort the offspring to the
yard adjoining the court room, and
there apply the rod, the sparing of
which al home has gone far toward
spelling him. In several instances Ell
couraging results have followed this
semi-judicial castigation, and it is I'M
derstood that Judge Thompson is de-
lighted with his invention. 1t is to DE
hoped that he will not limit its use by
covering it with patent.
