The spadra Homicide.

Readers of the HERALD will remember
that, a few days ago, an account was
published of the alleged accidental
wounding with an arrow, of an Indian
boy by companion, near Spadra, from
which the Indian died. Day before yes
terday the boy, whose name is Leon
Osuna, was examined before Justice
Nolan, at Ell Monte, District
Attorney White appearing for the
people. 1t appears that three boys were
in the party when Jose Lugo. the Indian
boy, was killed. Osuna and Felipe
Vejar, survivors, tell rather improbable
and conflicting tale as to the place and
manner of the killing. They state that
while they were hunting, osuna
fired at rabbit which he saw
in cactus patch, aud missed.
The arrow. however, struck bunch of
cactus and glanced up, striking Lugo
in the eye and inflicting the wound from
which he died, three days afterwards.
The boys were taken out separately by
Sheriff Currier and each pointed out diff,
ferent place as the one at which the So
called accident occurred 1t is also stated
that 0suna told an American boy, named
Sanders, that while out hunting he had
had row with Lugo, and that he shot
him on purpose. As result of this con-
fict of testimony, osuna has been held
for further examination. None of the
boys are over l6 years of age.

The New Game Law.

The readers of the HERALD are greatly
interested in the provisions of the new
'Game Law" which goes into effect on
the first of July next. So far as the
county of Los Angeles is concerned,
such a law is of no earthly necessity,
and will probably not be very well OBJ.
served in this part OF the State.
Section l., amehdatory of Section 626
of the Penal C,de, reads as follows
Every PEI son who, between March LIST
and October LIST, hunts, pursues, takes,
kills or destroys quail, partridge or
grouse or rail is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Every person who at any time takes,
gathers or destroys the egg of any quail,
partridge or grouse is guilty OF INSIDE
meanor. Every person who, between
January lst and June LIST, hunts, pnr.
sues, takes, kills or destroys any male
deer or buck is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Any person who has in his possession
any hides or skins Of any deer, elk, ante
lope or mountain sheep, killed between
November LIST and July LIST, is guilty of
a misdemeanor. Every person who shall
at any time hunt, pursue, take, kill or
destroy any antelope, elk, mountain
sheep, female deer or doe, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor. Every pers IN
who shall at any time hunt, pursue, take,
kill or destroy any spotted fawn, is
guilty Of 4 misdemeanor. Every person
who shall take, kill or destroy any of
III NJ, lie al II, -
any time, unless the carcass Of such ami
NAL is used or preserved by the person
taking or staying it, or is sold for food,
is guilty Of misdemeanor. Every per.
son who shall buy, sell, offer or expose
for sale, transport or have in his posses
sion any deer from which evidence of
sex has been removed, or any of the
aforesaid game at any time when it is
unlawful to kill the same, as provided
by this and subsequent sections, is guilty
Of a inisdemeanor.
The provisions Of the law in regard
to quail are essentially absurd for this
section of the country. There is no ne
cessity Il Il prohibitory law extending
from March LIST to October LIST, to pre-
vent the killing OF qaail. In the first
place, we neel no law at all about it,
but if there were anecessity for prohib-
itory law, it need not extend beyond
the first Of August, when the ravenous
quails are destroying vineyards without
mercy or indigestion.
The prohibition against killing male
deer between November LIST and July
LIST, of the following year, is very obnox-
ious and will be decided by the lovers of
good venison during November and De.
cember. The old law was dead letter
concerning deer, and the new Que is no
better. The provision in regard to skins
OF elk, deer. antelope and mountain
sheep, found in the possession Of any
person, making it misdemeanor, pro-
vided the skins were taken between No
vember LIST and July LIST following, is a
law of questionable policy. 1t leads TO
espionage, lying and deception. The
evidence is apt to be circumstantial and
hard to establish, and conviction will
never cover the expense of prosecution.
1t is the opinion Of many thoughtful
men that no game law would be better
than the present Act.

The Bazaar of Nations.

Turn Verein Hall was even more
crowded last evening than on Tuesday
night, and the performance was Of the
utmost excellence. At s o'clock the
grand procession of all the characters Of
the carnival took place, and attracted
much attention. Two grand tableaux,
that of the American Booth and the
Gypsy Booth, were displayed by the aid
Of the calcium light. The Gypsy tab
leau was especially excellent. The
Fiske Jubilee Singers, a quartette under
the leadership of Prof. j. f. Fiske, sang
twice, giving old plantation songs very
artistically, and We're encored each
time. "Ye Little olde Folkes." tN enty-
one little children, sang beautifully
" Suwanee River" and the old air
John Anderson, My Joe, John" and
were enthusiastically applauded. Mr..
and Mrs. Whitney sang a character
song which was exceedingly well re-
ceived and encored. Miss Minnie
Stowell also gave pleasant little ballad
in costume, which was listened to with
great attention. The Little Olde Folkes
sang cousin Jedediah as the closing
number of the musical portion of the
programme, which was appreciably as.
sisted, as ON the previous evening, by
the exquisite strains of Wangeman's or
chestra. After the musical parts were over
apleasant social time was had, in which
"fair women and brave men partici-
pated. We are glad to learn that the
Congregational church society will net
a handsome sum by their elaborate
bazaar, which has compelled much
laborious work in its creation.
Tonight the Japanese Booth will be
the center of attraction.

A machine has been invented by which
the oil Of pine can be expressed from
slabs and other refuse from the mills.
The oil contains large percentage Of
creosote, and is the best preventative Of
wood yet discovered, especially against
the teredo. One cord of slabs will fur
nish eighty gallons Of the oil, worth 25
cents per gallon. Fifty bushels CT char
coal, fifty pounds Of vegetable asphalt
tum, suitable for black varnish, and one
hundred gallons of pyrolgneous acid
are also produced from a single cord OF
this refuse. This is process which
ought to be made very valuable in the
lumber regions Of the Pacific Coast.
A new and novel discovery has been
made in the Photographic art, by which
very attractive mirror-like designs are
produced on glass. The glass is first
silvered by chemical application, and
is then coated with thin layer of sensi.
tive bitumen. The glass isnext exposed

shows like mirror from the reverse side
of the glass. The effect is said to be
startling and beautiful.

SPRING MEETING.
Last Days Sport Running
Race Does Not Fill-Exciting
Fifty-Mile Contest Anderson the
Winner.


The special three-quarter mile running
dash yesterday between Jennie G.. and
Woodbury., for 500 side, failed to fill,
Jennie G. walking over the course, and
receiving first money, all pools being
declared off.
The great fifty.mile race was next on
the tapis. An exciting contest was
looked for, but, owing to the exceed.
ingly heavy track, fast time was not
expected, nor was it made. Before the
race commenced, it was announced that
Fred Dominguez had been unable to
secure suitable horses at such short
notice, and therefore the contest
would DO confined to those veterans,
lose Egueroa and Charles Anderson. AT
FIRST pool selling was very even, and
huctuated, as one or the other Of the
riders became alternately the favorite.
When the rival horses were brought on
the track it was at once seen that,
while Anderson had at least
seven good animals out of ten,
Figueroa had but five as good.
Some parties interested did not scruple
to intimate that there was an occult
reason for this fact, not unconnected
with the bets. However, each rider dis.
played the utmost endurance and agility
in both riding, mounting and dismount.

Pierce is enthusiastically in favor of the
adoption OF the metric system, not only
in this country, but among all CONNER

difficulty of learning and retaining in the
memory the numerous tables under our
present system, and the great incon-
venience and labor involved in CONNER
cial trans actions between people of diff
ferent nationalities and accustomed to
different standards. And the standards
are not even equivalent throughout the
different States of this country. What
the world needs is system which shall
embody the qualities of uniformity, per-

gentlemen in the clerical profession
who feel and deplore this, is true, but the
day has not yet arrived when the clergy,
as body, or profession, have the courage
to walk up on to higher ground. They
counsel evasion of the old written creeds,
and thus show that the formulas of fifty or
hundred years ago are not essential
to Christian walk and conversation.
Many men of real breadth, whose useful
ness might be of the utmost value, shun
and turn away from the ministry, because
they would be cramped there 1t is in no
harsh humor that these observations are
made. The world is growing broader
every hour, and the day is fastening when
creed and cant will give place to the broad
and generous, helpful and inspiring tenet,
do We unto others as We would have men
do unto you. This principle, implanted in
the life of man opens before him all the
possibilities of good here, and peace here

WHAT THE COMING KONTHS WILL
BRING FORTH.

An Important Industry Obliged to Seek
New Quarters for Want OF Room-The
Result to be a Magnificent Structure on
Rishth Street.
Among the prominent Improvements which
will astonish the citizens of st. Paul in the near
future will be the erection Of a splendid build
ing on Eighth, bet1e Minnesota and Cedar
streets, by Messrs. Friedman & Lewis, the we'll
known cracker manufacturers of this city.
The main structure is to be fifty by 100 feet,
four stories high, affording baking capacity of
$50 barrels of -four every twenty-four hours, or
the manufacturing of 600 barrels or 2 900 boxes
of crackers every day.
This energetic and justly popular firm pro-
duce all kinds of crackers and have established
during the past five years business of such con-
stantly increasing magnitude that they are re-
quired to seek new and enlarged quarters, and to
have them ready for occupancy at the earliest
possible date. We predict, knowing the enter
prise they have always exhibited, that when they
get fairly started, with their new and improved
machinery, competitors from other states will
find st. Paul amply supplied in the cracker
trade and able to thoroughly fill the demands of
the great Northwestern country.
Their goods do not need recommendation,
their reputation is broadcast, as being of the
very best quality No refined lard is employed;
only the purest kettle rendered lard for short
ming is used, along with the best brands of St.
Louis Winter Wheat Flour. We advise all
Wholesale Grocers and other parties using
crackers to communicate with Friedman &
Lewis, at their present place of business, 419
Robert street, St. Paul, and profit thereby.

PIERCE REDIVIVUS.

Richard A. Pierce, the young man who
has been mourned by his friends ever
since New Years day as murdered by ruff
fans, has been found by an acquaintance
in the woods IN Aitken county, where he
has been in hiding ever since his disap-
pearance. He tells an exceedingly gauzy
story of the causes that led to his depar-
ture from home-a story about desper-
ate midnight conflict with two men with
whom he had quarreled at Minneapolis
early in the evening, in the course of which
he struck and killed one of them with q
bar of iron. This conflict, it is now I'M
nesessarylto state, never took place, and
the cause..of the mans. strange departure
must be sought in another direction.
Whatever it was, the freak was most repre-
hensible, and might have been productive
of serious results. If any men had been
found during the excitement that followed
his disappearance and supposed murder,
with marks of conflict about them, the
probability is that they would have been
lynched on the spot.
All the evidence goes to show that the
young man skipped out simply for the
purpose of creating brief
sensation, and to-day thinks
he has done a smart act and will
return to st. Paul hero. If he returns at
all it will be to be loathed and despised
and contemptuously treated by every per-
son of responsibility who honors his par
ents. He has brought untold anguish to
the mother who bore him. has covered the
city with the disgrace of harboring mid
night assassins, caused the authorities un-
measured trouble and great expense, all to
gratif whim for notoriety. If he is wise

some other secluded spot where the loath-
ing of his acouaintances cannot reach

Panic in a Dry Goods Store.

New YORK, Feb. 1O.-A panic occurred
tonight in Ridley & Sons large dry goods
store, Grand street. The Bell engine that
furnishes power for the electrict light,
slipped from its pulley and the lights
went out. The rattling of the belt in its
fall made great noise. A large num-
Der of people, mostly women and chill
dren, we're in the place at the
time. In the rush for the doors,
women fell down stairs and
some person cried Sire" The women
screamed and struggled to get out. The
employees of the store tried to stop the
panic. The store has thirty-six exits. 1t
was emptied in minute and half and
the crowd was in the street unframed.
The alarm of fire brought the engines
which were met by the police and stopped,
to avert additional excitement.

A $4,000 Romance,

A true romance in real life recently took place
in Louisville, Ky. The circumstances were
these: Miss Alcene Vanderespt, the beautiful
and accomplished daughter of our well-know n
and esteemed druggist, had well-known young
gentleman, also of Louisville, paying her atten-
tions. and both being possessed of speculative
spirit and unknown to the other, purchased 81
ticket in the Commonwealth Distribution Com
pany. 1t SO happened that they each took half
ticket with the same number, and when the
drawing terminated they had drawn $1,000 each,
their number having drawn the $4,000 prize.
When the young gentleman called to tell his
good fortune, his surprise was great to find his
sweetheart was also entitled to congratulations.
Of conrse, wedding soon followed, for it was
self-evident they were intended for each other,
and the young gentleman is now the owner of a
prosperous business, and at his request we re-
frain from giving his name also. Now let all
young gentlemen and ladies go and do likewise.
