Until the officer tracked the festive
Edward severe blow over the head
with his revolver and Edward went
to the ground. The officer then sat
down on him, but out
came the mother of the fallen
hero and there was more trouble in
store for the officer than he had calcu-
lated on. She picked UP brick-batS
and shot them lively at the person of
Mr.. Rodgers and he was forced to re-
treat. Officers johnson were sent for
and they went in search of the
fighters, but they had flown, and the
invitation of Justice Pace is not yet
accented

Speculation.

In a sermon on the vice of specula-
ton, preached not long ago in New
York, by the Rev. Robert Collyer, the
speaker gave some valuable advise to
young men. He said:
The same old vice Of speculation is
among us rs that which troubled the
TheSsalonians. We see all about us
faces that are touched with perpetual
unrest, striving, and frus-
trating. have seen men
make great fortunes only to
lose them. l have seen men pass
from beautiful homes to the peniten-
tiary, and / have seen their wives
and children in one year flashing with
Jewels and in the next struggling to
keep away the wolf that was staring
in upon them at the door. But /
have never seen the righteous for
Saken. | have never seen those fall
into such trouble who studied to be
quiet and did their own business and
| worked with their own hands. The
man who makes axes that will cut
the man who builds houses
that will stand. the doctor
who will cure, the teacher
who knows how to teach, and the
lawyer who maintains both justice
and the sanctity of the truth, will
not fail whether the times be good or
bad. These are times Of unexampled
prosperity. and there is danger that
many men will fall victims to the
vision of the city, the streets of which
are paved with gold, of mines in Col
orado or of corner lots in Chicago. |
tell you this vision is looming up in
the clouds. There is especial danger to
young men. Let no young man say
that he has no chance to work. for
there was never such an opportunity
to do days work since the morning
stars sang together. 70 young men,
let one who is not allured by specula-
ton in the celestial city say: Build up
good houses, good city, good churches
and good schools. You may not get
what is called religion and go far
wrong, but you can't go wrong, nor be
in want, if you remain sweet and true
men and women, and study to be
quiet, and work with your hands.

The Dakota Girl.
dakota Journal


Col. Pat DOMAINS 4th of July adj
dress: when the Bona Dea, out of
her bounteousness, makes a Dakota
maiden she takes care never to spoil
the job. A soft, white, warm body,
translucent with divine light, and
curving to lines of beauty as natural
ly as the tendons of the vine, is the
ground work upon which nature lines
the human angel. Eyes softly bright,
but LUMINOSITY intense; cheeks like
the damaSk rose. with buttercups of
dimples, in whose honeyed heart sly
Puck or Oberon might sleep, lips like
OK heart cherries at the center,
but flexible as a smoke wreath, and
fading away into the soft cheek like
the hearts blood of a strawberry into
luscious cream; a chin fairly fashioned
as the golden apple that blushing
Paris gave to Venus, who trembled
with delight at taking it; the brow of
Juno, and the bust of Hebe; the sea
nymph's pearly ear, the wood nymph's
springy step-these are few of the
charms that nature gives the maiden
of Dakota

Recent seizures of struggled jewel
~ in the store of one of the leading
Montreal dealers has led to the dis
covery of an extended system of
smuggling which has been going on
for several years in that city. The
firm in the case in point, settled with
the Canadian government by a pay
ment of $1,000, the amount of du ties
shown to have been evaded.

tended the franchises of the street
cars for twenty years, upon condition
that they pay in future license fee
of fifty dollars a year upon every Car

This is reduction of one-half from
the old rates. 1t is also required that
they shall keep the streets which they
use in good repair.
