Rival Attractions.

Two national cattlemen's conventions
are to be held, one at Chicago and tho
other at St. Louis. The St Louis con-
yention managers propose to make Chi
cago men green with envy by engaging
the Dodge City COW boys brass band
and orchestra. The band is composed Of
twenty-five members. Their uniforms
are little outside the usual costumes
worn by brass bands. Each musician
will be dressed in true COW boy styler
with leggings, spurs and sombreros.
This will no doubt be the chief feature
of the St. Louis convention. Meantime
the Chicago men will look about for .
counter attraction, possibly bull fight.
So says the Omaha Bee.

A Ska Romance.

A very tragic little story was told TO q
company slipping tea around shining
samovar the other night that invests
even the garrison days that succeeded
the transfer with something of romantic
interest. The captain and lleutenent Of
one of the companies stationed at Sitka
in the first year of United States pos
session fell desperately in love with the
same beautiful Russian. She was Il
most charming woman, with g. #. mys.
terious eyes, a pale, delicate face. and
a slow, dreamy smile that set the two
warriors wild. All the garrison knew Of
their fierce rivalry, SO marveled not =
little when their old friendship ap-
peayed to be restored, and the two suit
ors started off on hunting expedition
together. One haggard man returned
two days later and told that his COM
panion had been attacked and gored to
death by an enraged buck in the forest:
He was gloomy and strange in his man.
ner, and at nightfalf went to the house
of the Russian lady to break the news of
his rivals death. The friends of the lost
officer talked the thing over. and sus-
pect;ng that duel had been fought,
decided to 20 out the next day and
search for the body: In the morning
the surviving rival was found dead in
bed, with look of agony and horror on
his face. One story was that his victim
had appeared to him, and he had died
of fright and terror; the other was that
some unknown and subtle poison had
been administered to him in cup Of
tea, and the official report ascribed his
death to heart disease. The body of
the lost rival was found at the foot Of a
steep bank on the shore of Indian river,
where a tangle of ferns, bushes, and
grasses shaded and almost covered the
clear, still pool in which he lay. His
rifle lay near him, and a bullet-hole in
his heart told the sad truth that his
friends had suspected. His death was
officially attributed to the accidental
discharge of his own rifle while hunt
ing, and under these two verdicts the
real truths were concealed. The family
of the Russian beauty disappeared from
Sitka in few months, and the story
had been half forgotten until the recent
opening of path along Indian river
recalled it to some of those who lived
here at the time.

Ay AwrrL RISrONSlHILITY.

A dispatch from st Petersburg states that
" the Russian Government has issued u circular
"to the principals of the schools in Russia
"hOlding them responsible for any revolution
cary tendencies Their scholars may have, ana
"cnjoining them to maintain strict supervision
cover their pupils in order to dissipatc the
"slightest flavor of nihilistic sentiments" 1t
appears from this that the Russian Government
has undertaken to render the profession Of
pcdaeogism unpopular by methods not dis
similar to those employed by Woutcr the
Doubtcr to bring the Office of constable into
disrcputc, "a related by the verIcous historian
Dicdrich Knicberbocker. Hcnccforth, only the
bodcst or most desperate of Russians will
consent to remain teachers. for who
can undertake 10 keep the perverse
predilecti0us of youth from topics hall0wcd by
the prohibition of the Government, and thus IN
vested with all the fascination of forbidden fruit.
Young Russia has for many years moreover,
shown strong inclination to indulge in Adde'S
cent sedition, the universities having long been
hotbcds of Nihism. Socialism, and all manner
of subversve doctrines; and for this reason the
Government probably conceived the idea OF
suppressng that kind of dlsatlectjon in the
germ, by holding the schoo masters responsible
for the opinions of their pupils
That the experiment can succeed Is, however
not credible. Boys are naturally contradictory
and wayward and with them, as with tltzJames,
"Ifa path be dangerous known.
The dangers self is lure alOac."
Nor have they as a rule that sympathy with
their teachers which would lead them to refrain
from Nihlism in order TO prevent the former
from taking harm. In short, the proba"iIljy Is
that if the youngpeople hear ofthc Government
circular they will instantly be consumed with
a desire to explore the dark reCesses Of Mill
ism and that the thought Of getting their
teachers into trouble will add cerran zest to
the adventure. Though the teachers may con-
scienti0usly endeavor to do what il required Of
them, they must fail to maintain a hold upon
the minds of all their charges. and the latter
Will certainly not be driven from the coveted
researches by fear that somebody else may be
punished. Altogether, this method of vicariOus
responsibility promises to entail a good deal OF
suffering upon the teachers without bringing a
corresponding advantage to the Government.
II is indeed possible that some constitutional
reforms might have more effect upon Nihilism
than this notable new system OF espionage.
