TENDER Joseph R. Close, while carelessly ex-
aiming revolver, accidentally shot John
w. Ridgrove wounding him so severely that
be has since been confined to his house.
About two months ago Ridgrove instituted a
suit for damages, demanding $500 The
case was to have come up at this term of
court, but the matter has been adj
justed by Close confessng judg-
ment in the full amount 1t is safe to say
that Close will not again accidentally dis
charge revolver, or, that if he does he will
not wound any body. 1t is too expensive
Similar proceedings should be taken in all
cases of this kind, and the practice of point
ing weapons at persons would soon become
obsolete.

Fraudulent Land Entries.

ST LOUIS, April "a dispatch from Wch-
tia, Kan, says the recent appointment OF
government special agent to investigate
fraudulent land entries in Kansas and the
West produced good deal of uneasness
among pre-emptors in that section of the
State There have been many fraudulent
entries in Kingman Sumner Harper and
Barbour counties, and cattle men have ac-
quired large tracts of land for herding pur-
poses which probably will not bear close

MARRIAGEABLE young men of New York are
being nemmed in. They have heretofore de-
clined to marry because they could not afford it,,
but in series of articles in the newspapers able
female correspondents have proved that fami-
lies of from two to six can live and fare sumpt-
uously on $40 week Having disposed of rents
and provisions, the artful young women have
turned their attention to clothing. In their
opinion any woman, not millionaire, who can
not dress stylishly and be happy upon an outlay
of 800 year, even less, is not woman
worth marrying The eligible young men have
no defense left, and it only remains for them to
marry and save money.

the greatest ever known. 1t is estimated
that not less than 10000 passengers are for
warded weekly through st. Paul to points

is so great that the Northern Pacific and

Progress of Polygamy.

SALT LAKE, April 9.-Over forty couples
are reported as having been seen go to and
come out of the polygamy mill, known as
the Endowment House, on Thursday. The
harangues at this conference have much the
sound of shouts of victory at the small effect
OF the Edmunds law, from which so much
was feared, and at the failure of efforts for
further legislation done against saints. At
the session this afternoon some $50 old mis-
sionaries were detailed to go to Great Britain,
Germany and the Southern States.

A CITIZEN of Guilford, Conn, recently saw a

up the gate, and not wait any longer.

touching, and human sympathy goes out strongly
for the unhappy creature. 1t seems, however, that
he was not alone in his troubles The wife and
mother endured all save the fever, and now is
compelled to undergo even more, for, in addi-
ton to the other misfortunes, she is bereft the
comfort of a companion. 1t were well if some of
the unavailing 81 mpathy for the dead were be-
slowed upon the more deserving living. 1t may
be hard to die but it is frequently harder to live.
If the suicide deserves compassion, how much
more does he merit sympathy who staggers
along under his burden, making the most of ad'
verse fortune and content to do his bestl Where
one such case is revealed by tragedies
like that of Gotteb Rudolph there are a
thousand to which no attention is paid. 1t is
vain to commiserate the dead. no matter how
pathetic their history. 1t remains to double
kindness and care for the living. If Gottlieb
Rudolph inspired pity in despairing under dis
couragement is it not imperative that his de-
serted widow should receive words of cheer and
deeds Of kindness while they may avail. We
ought TO be practical as well as sentimental.

IN recent poem the novelist FRANCES Hodg-
son Burnett propOunds the conundrum:
"In time gone by did seasons come and go,
And was there summer rain and winter snowl"
If she would ask the Oldest inhabitant she
would promptly discover that not only did the
seasons come and go in times gone by, but they
came earlier by year or two, and departed
about six months later than they do now. Yes,
indeed. And did it rain in summer and snow in
winter2 La, Francesl Why, in them times it be-
gan raining the last week in February, and
never let up until pawpaw time next fall. The
banks of White river reached from Columbus,
o., to Vermillon county, Illinoy. And as for
snow-great shucks!-snows always laid on the
ground till harvest apples were ripe, and in
some winters it showed so much that you could
walk from the tops of the Alleghenys to the
Rockies without finding valley-all level full.
Frances's grandpa must have died before she
was born. He would have told her all about it.

think that the bitterest s1rrow and in
OF love unrequited, or cold deaths woe,
Is sweet compared to the hour when we know
That some grand passion is on the wane.
When we see that the glory, and glow, and grace,
That lent splendor to night and day,
Are surely fading sni showing the gray
And dull groundwork Of the commonplace.
When fond expressions on dull ears fall,
When the kiss that was heaven can no more thrill
When we cannot muster by force or vii
The old emotions that came at call
When the dream is vanished we iain would keep,
When the heart, like a watch, runs out of gear,
And all the favor goes out Of the yer-
oh, then, If we could Is the time to weep
But though tears soften this dull vale OF woe,
We must sit and face 1t wi dry, hot eyes,
The more struggle the swifter il flies
We must SIMPLY be silent and let it go.

The fret experiments in using locomo.
tives for hauling canal boats, the rails be-
ing placed on tie banks of the canal, were
made in France in 1879. A company was
then started for the purpose, and the re-
suits obtained were satisfactory. The COM
pany originally tried this system on the
canals from Neulosse and Aire to La Bassa,
which have length of sixty kilometers.
The locomotive, which weighs five tons,
can haul five or six boats, or floating
weight of 1000 tons. The speed is four
kilometers an hour. Daring the las. ex-
periments the results are said to have been
SO satisfactory that the method has been
introduced on all the canals of the Depart.
ment de Nord from Lille and Dunkirk to
Flanders.
