THE WIDOW.

Her smiles are tempered by her sighs;
Her garb scarce wells her glory;
The tender glamour of her eyes
Enshrines her and her story
No greenling girl, nor spinster tart,
Shes all things that become her;
Her life, her beauty, and her heart,
Arc IN their Indian summerl

As at the rink we skated,
And met the glancss from her eyes,
With purest love light freighted
Her pretty face was very near:
! stopped and fondly kissed her,
And all the other fellows wished
They, too, could kiss-my sister.

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.
A Little Boy Whose Body was Found
in the River.

Aittle light-haired boy, with round, freck-
elcd face and the whitest Of teeth, is living in
a little coffin at O'Halloran's undertaking
room awaiting claimant The frank face
seems to look appealingly as if to say
'Nill rot my friends claim me," for he is
good looking little fellow, and somewhere,
perhaps mothers heart is breaking for the
sight of her darling who is lying SO cold and
stiff among strangers.
The body is that of the boy who loated up
from the depths of the river last Sunday, and
he is supposed TO be one of the two bows who
were drowned last Saturday All of their his
tory that is known consisted of the two suits of
boys clothing left on the river bank when
they started to take the fatal swim.
As already stated, In the pockets OF one
suit a draft for $500 was found 1t was
drawn on the Hide and Leather bank of Chi
eago, made payable to Willie Wilson. and
signed by O. +. Krukenthaler, of Anola.
Coroner Quinn and the police have made
inquiry OF the police Of the latter city, but so
far as learned no boys have been reported
missing. There is deep mystery about the
whole affair, but il is considered as settled
that the boys were strangers in ST. Paul, and
perhaps the state. Coroner Quinn has
ordered photographs taken of the lad at
O'Hai'oran'S, and if he is not soon claimed
the body will have to be inferred

POLICE COURT DOlNGS.
A Youth Accused of Larceny by His
Father.

$50 you were full, were you, and took it
by mistake rejoined hizzoner to the plea
of Ole Anderson when arraigned before the
bar of the police court yesterday. 'That is
the way with you fellows" continued the
court; 'you swell up on tanglefoot and then
when you get into mischief you charge it all
to the booze; oh, the misery and sin and
abject vice and want and sorrow, thou hydra
headed fury and foe to mankind, the curse
of this same old booze, is laid at thy door to
account for.' John Anderson, Ny Joe
John, hung his shaggy head and he must
have felt sorry He had been blind drunk
and while in this condition, he nailed coat
on Rosabel street. He will grub stumps and
roots in Como park for the next thirty days.
Sam Gibson, lean, lank youth who looks
as if his joints hadn't fairly settled yet, and
NJ. W. jameson, much older man, were up
on the charge of holding a man up and
''touching'' him to the tune of S25 The
alleged offense took place IN a saloon on
Mississippi street, and young Gibson's father
made the complaint. 1t is a spoiled kettle
of fish all the way through. The larceny
case was continued until to-day.
1t was quiet Monday in the police court,
the cases mostly consisting of few common
brawls.
John Sherman. the terror of the patch in
the Sixth ward, and John Tharilmeyer were
charged with disorderly conduct. They en-
gagged in scrap Sunday night, during which
stones were used freely and slung shot was
flourished. 1t appeared yesterday that Sher-
man had been the aggressor. and he was
sent out to saw wood for thirty days. The
other man was discharged
Pat Bali, son of the old dirt, and c.
Connolly met By chance in lower town, and
with the true ardor OF a fighting man stimu-
lated with booze, Pat had dared the other fell
low to knock the chip from his shoulder
The challenge was accepted and they sailed
in on the good old fashioned style Thsy
had black eyes and ensanguined bugIes to
show for the affair, and they each gracefully
accepted ten days in the bastile.
Frank Stolp is crank who delights in
making it lively for his neighbors, and he
was put under bonds to keep the peace.
4 couple of vags who had been ranked ont
of box car were sent out for ten days each,
and o. Cross and L. E. Donneily were also
charged with vasrancy. A gun was found
on Cross, so he went out for five DAYS. his

Storm Losses Near To,ser City.

The Tower City Herald gives this summary
of the results of the storm and hail. two
storms in one day, that visited that section
recently and extended, with intermissions,
some forty or fifty miles
The number of acres lost in the territory
visited is 13,S03, in the vicinity of Tower
City, 1860.
Every garden in this vicinity is completely
ruined; tin chimneys torn off or twisted,
brick chimneys blown down, etc.
The loss in damage to buildings racked,
glass broken, etc., is not less than $4,000.
Allowing sixteen bushels per acre, at
eighty cents per bushel, the loss is $50, 900,
making fearful total of $50, 900 for the two
storms in vicinity of Tower City; or in the
territory shown in diagram 224, 900 acres, or
$4,000, and enough buildings to bring it
up to 100000.
In the vicinity of Tower City the largest
average of loss by one party is Drown q
Wright $500; most of them are small farmers
who cannot stand the loss. The Herald
draws this moral: Exclusive wheat raising
must be abandoned, and stock raising with
diversified farming be made an important
feature. Thus will our farmers have re-
sources in times like unto last Friday"
There is good sense in this suggestion, as it
is shown that this country is adapted to
stock and diversified farming. There is
money in wheat, but there is great risk even
in Dakota in making it the exclusive reliance.
Ii will do for nonresident capitalists but not
for resident farmers of small means.

The final decision Of the Deadwood mer-
chants in favor Of Belfeld as the shipping
point for the Hills from the Northern Pacific
has given this place quite boom. The
Mandan Pioneer says Of It: ''Several Dead
wood people are now here, and have signifed
their intention Of going into business at
Belfeld. Some large Deadwood firms are
contemplating starting branches here, and
TO-DAY BelfeId has better prospects than any
towrf west Of Mandan. Some of the enter
prises which are about tobe entered upon are
a livery stable, bank, several stores, a
brick yard and blacksmith shop. There is q
good demand for town lots already. but as
vet the town site company have shown excel
lent judgment in retaining the original
price on the same. Some OF the business
ventures which would pay at present are
drug, hardware and dry goods stores, bar-
ness aud wagon shop, as well as good hotel,
the present one being insufficient TO accom-
modate the demand upon it."

The Jnmesto,c,, Bank Failure.

Valley City Times: A few days since re-
port reached us to the effect that the First
National bank of jamestown had closed its
doors. The report gained considerable
ground, but could not be verified. The
jamestown papers were remarkably dumb.
We are now informed, by parties who profess
to know, that such is the fact; that the in ti-
tuition has gone into liquidation. The presi-
dent of the bank, r. E. Wallace, is, we are
told. the owner Of almost the entire amount
of the capital stock, Mr.. M1Ginnis and Mr..
Winston, formerly heavy holders of the
stock, having shrewdly disposed of their
holdings some time ago. We learn that the
deposits at the time of the pension were
about s26, 900, and that the last published
statement showed s143, 900. The poor coun-
ties seem destined 10 suffer by these financial
crashes fully as much as private individuals.
The treasurer of Stutsman county had about
SO. 600 on deposit, Mr.. Wallace being his
principal bondsman. We are sorry for Bob
Wallace, as he is familiarly called BY hosts Of
friends, as we are told that he is left penni-
less by the failure.

Extraordinary Cave Discovery.

Thos McGrath, of Stanton, Mercer county,
relates that with a number of others he lately
went up the Knife River valley on - pros
pecting tour and about twenty miles west OF
Stanton, near the famous battle ground Of
the Sioux and Rec Indians, they found re-
markable cave in the bluff. Mr.. McGrath is
vouched for by the Bismarck Tribune as re-
liable gentleman, and the account OF the cave
Will excite much interest. They procured
flights and entered the cave. Mr.. McGrath
describes it: 'sThe skeleton that so alarmed
Mr.. Hager was hideous looking god OF idol,
made of wood and evidently carved out of
cedar. One arm was extended upward, ap-
parently appealing to the sun; the other was
extended across the breast, holding large
wooden knife. The eye holes are filled with
peculiar stones that sparkled in the light
This heather, Indian or prehistoric idol or
god is unknown to Indian history in North
America. 1t much resembles Hindoo or
Chinese idols, such as we find in illustrated
histories of these countries We found four
skeletons that had evidently been encased or
covered in manner similar to Egyptian
mummies. We found nothing with the
bones to indicate nationality, although it is
evident that the mode of burial is not Of the
American Indian. Two well preserved spear
heads, evidently of copper, were found, re-
sembling those Of ancient Rome. A sort of
dirk or small cutlass was found among
quantity of decayed matter. An inner cave
was full of'bones, skeletons, implements i'll
copper, stone mills for grinding, such
as were used in ancient Egypt and parts of
Asia. Fine specimens Of pottery were also
found. Two chambers led out of the second
cave, which were so utterly black and dark
that our best efforts failed to explore. 1t is
my candid opinion that thorough examina-
ton of this ancient receptacle, cave or what
ever it may be, will unearth abundant evil
dence of a prehistoric race of people that
have no connection with the North Ameri-
can Indian. 1t is believed that the Rees,
Gros Ventres and Mandan Indians had their
origin on this continet from Norwegian and
Welsh, explorers who first discovered Labra-
dor in the year 1909, under charge Of Lief,
son of Erie the Red, of Iceland. Ancient
records sustain this theory. We brought
what relics with US to Stanton that we could
carry and have them carefully slowed away"
