Hot Maple Sirup for One.

Said the bad boy to the groceryman
Il think when man is in trouble if he
has good little boy to take his mind
from his troubles, and get him mad at
something else, it rests him. Last night
we he'd hot maple sirup and biscuit for
supper, and pa had saucer full in front
of him, just a steaming. could see he
WAS thinking too much Of his mining
stock, and I thought if there was any
thing ! could do to take his mind off OF
it, and place it on something else,
would be doing kindness that would
be appreciated. sat on the right Of pa
and when he wasn't looking l pulled the
table cloth so the saucer Of red-hot
maple sirup dropped off in his lap
Well, you'd dide to see how quick his
thoughts turned from his financial
troubles to his physical misfortunes.
There was about pint of hot sirup, and
it went all over his lap, and you know
how hot melted maple sirup is, and how
it sort and clir.s to anything. Pa jump
ell up and grabbed hold of his pants
legs to pull them away from himself
and he danced around and told ma tc
turn the hose on him, and then he took
a pitcher of ice water and poured il
down his pants, and he said the con
demned old table was getting so rick ETY.

put on my lip to make my mustacht

then he cuffed me, and think he fel
better. 1t is great thing to get a man.,

Scheller Acquitted.

A Milwaukee telegram Of April 18th
says, the great Scheller arson trial closed
to-day with the rendering Of the verdict
of not guilty. The verdict is one that
all who know Scheller-and those who
did not know him, but who had heard
the evidence against him-had conf
IDENTITY expected. 1t is hardly necessary
TO say that it gives general satisfaction.
The applause which greeted the an
nouncement of the verdict in the court
room was a fair expression Of the public
sentiment on the subject The fact is,
after the first excitement Of Scheller's
arrest had passed, there were few who
doubted his entire innocence of the ter
rible crime; and that few the prosecut-
ing attorney and a few friends, who APP
pearcd to make personal matter Of the
charge and gloried in the fact that there
was alleged to be strong evidence against
him. With this exception, all were
thoroughly convinced of Scheller's limo.
cence before the trial was half through.
The Judge rendered his charge to the
jury at p. m, and ut 2:l5 the jury re-
tired. Exactly two hours after retiring
they returned and gave their verdict.
From one Of the jurors it is learned that
the jury agreed on the verdict in less
than five minutes after retiring, but feel.
ing that SO hurried rendering would
give rige to unpleasant talk on the part
of the prosecution and It's friends, they
decided to remain out for two hours
Others say that five ballots were taken
and only one Of the jurors was for con.
viction all that time, and he fidally gave
in, because Judge Mallory instructed
that if there was any doubt in his mind
he must give the prisoner the benefit OF
the doubt. The court room re-echoed
with cheers when the verdict was an
nounced, and hundreds crowded about
Scheller to grasp his hand. The tria
has lasted week and nearly 100 wit
nesses have been called. The prisoner
was traced to within half block of tn,
scene and admitted on the stand that h,
was in front of the Newhall only a few
minutes previous to the time the alarm
was sounded. The cause assigned b,

A N eat Send-O6.

The Denyer Tribune prints the fol-
lowing tribute to one of its retiring en-
ployes, known by the pioneer printers
of Deadwood as Bob. Blair, who occu-
pied the position Of foreman on the
Times Of that place in III and s:
Robert ID. Blair, who has for a num-
Der Of years been connected with Trib-
une in the capacity Of foreman, has
pockeied his mallet and shooting-stick
and gone down to the new and growing
town of Delta as the proprietor of the
Chief, paper he proposes to make
second Tribune. 1t would be vain
task to attempt to express the regret
that is felt in this Office over the depart
ure Of this faithful employe and genial
companion. He was respected and es.
teemed by ell his associates. The print
ers liked him because he was eminently
Just, and distributed the fat copy with
an impartiality which bespoke nature.
The editors and reporters liked him
because he was SO accommodating
characteristic which was specially grate-
ful when there were any disagreeable
characters loafing around the office that
required throwing out. Mr.. Blair was a
cool.headed man. He fred many q 200
pound desperate down our back stairs
and walked all over him in the back
ally. There was pleasant sense of Sc
curity about the shop as long as Mr..
Blair was here. Since his departure we
feel nervous like whenever there is a
noise, and somehow or other we have
begnn to put more and more faith i'm
pistols and clubs than we used to. Mr..
Blair was daisy at handling type. He
never danced the Lancashire clog when
when the paper was late, and he never
pied nonpariel paragraph or neglected
to put patent toothwash advertisement
Immediately after the editorial. We
believe his new venture will be success
ful-we certainly hope so, but nowhere
else will he acquire widespread or
more loyal friendship than he enjoys in

SO prosperous he will merit il all.

that Scheller owed over $4,000 do! ars
and had heavy insurance on his stock OF
liquors in store and in the basement OF
the Newhall house. Once previously,
the gas jets in his place had been found
turned on, and one was burning after
Scheler was arrested. His fathcr-in-
law died at the hospital under circum
stances pointing to suicide. The latter
was interested with Scheller i'm business.
SchcIler says he will remain in Mil

The crime Of which George Schellcr
was accused, it will be remembered was
the firing Of the Newhall house, Mil

lives were lost. MIR. Schelcr was in
dlcted on February 26, and in due time
placed on trial, with the result above

The Milwaukee Right OF Way.

| Washington, April l6.-from corn
munications received by the commits
sioner of Indian affairs from agents Of
the great Sioux reservation, it appears
/ that the Indians are considerably dis
turbed over the fact that the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad com
pany are going on with their extension
through the Sioux territory. Last fall
an arrangement vas made by which the
company, in consideration Of the right
of-way through the reservation, paid
over To the Indian bureau $1,000 for
the benefit of the Indians. Negotiations
for the cession of that portion of the
great Sioux reservation, through which
the railroad will run, were then pend
ing, and the money was not placed to
the credit OF the Indians. Congress
failed in consequence Of technically
to ratify the treaty finally obtained by
the Sioux commission. The negotia-
tons will be continued. In the mean
time, Secretary Teller has decided that
tIle STdntlUR Oh tlle TlRnt-ol-Wdy W tllt
railroad company must be ratified by
congress, and holds the money paid by
the company subject to such action as
may lie taken by congress. The com
pany is, however, continuing the con
struction of its road through the Sioux
reservation, and the Indians are becom-
ing clamorous for their money. Should
the pending negotiations result in "A
cession to the government in that part
of the reservation occupied by the rail
road company before the ratification o!
the right Of way, the question will arise
as to what shall be done with the mon
ey paid by the company. This uncer-
tainty seems to add to the uneasiness of
the Indians The commissioner Of In
dian affairs has notified the Sioux IN
dian agents that the railroad company
has acted in good faith, and that the
money agreed to be paid bv them is
now In the treasury, and if congress rati
tes the right Of way it will be placed to
the credit Of the Indians. This, it j.
expected will pacify the Sioux, at least
SO far ;!s the action OF the railroad com
paDy is concerned.

ments Of the agricultural district, which,
Notwithstanding its isolated condition
and remoteness from railroad communi
cation, have been marvellous, and will SO
continue through the year, the outlook
for the mineral section is very encourag-

a little from England and Germany, has
been secured with prospects of much
more This will be invested in the
development Of mines. erection of ma,
chinerv, con StructiCn of water bitches
and in Il multiplicity o; ways for the
benefit OF the entire country. The
Trojan company will erect IA 20O-stamp
mill on Speartisl, TO be connected with
the mines four miles distant by rail
The Homestake company will add a
200-stamper to its group of largest mills
in the world. The Caledonia will double
its milling capacity by the addition Of
sixty stamps, having already secured
water from Moore'S False Bottom di. .ch
with such end in view Lancaster will
put up lOO-stamp mill ,on the Gustin
The Orc Cache will it is believed, put
up l20-stamp mill on Whitewood, at
the mouth of Spruce gulcE, to be con-
nected with it's mine a mile and half
distant by rail The Orc Fino will i'm
mediately erect large hoisting works
Col. Davey is already engaged trebling
the capacity of the old Florence Silver
mill, formerly owned by st. Paul com
pany. Twenty stamps will be added to
the Golden Summit mill. In addition
to these works, positively determined
upon, are many others of probable con-
summation, among which may be enum-
Grated large reduction works by the
Royal Arch, Berkshire an Welcome
companies, whose property is located
near Terry's peak; by the Cheyenne
company; by Il company now organic
ing at New York to develop Box Elder
property by the Minnesota and other
companies operating in Rockford dis
