the number of injured, which was larger than
in any month reported for n long time.

American poet, and dwell on the refinement
which was the chief charm of this illustrious

The Flood At Fort Benton.

The ice inthe Missouri at Fort Benton broke
up on Monday, gorging at the mouth Of the
Shonkin, causing the water to rise above the
banks, and spread over a portion of the bottom
bank upon which Benton is located. Nearly all
the families on Front and Main streets left
their homls and fed to the houses Oh the hill
side without waiting to secure a single article
Of household property, The water extended to
the sidewalks upon the highest ground on
on low ground were flooded. some to the depth
of two feet on the first stories. Alarge amount
of merchandise was destroyed in the Ievee
warehouses, and the wall of the engine house
facing the river was preached by the huge
masses OF ice driven against it by the wild
stream. The loss of property ard merchan-
disc will probably foot up $4,000, and possibly
tue losses may prove much greater.

Bloody Deeds in Dakota.

A man named William Myers was murdered
at Bonilla, twenty-thren miles northwest of
here, Sunday morning. He had trouble with his
brother-in-law, J. A Mckroskey,, about some
land and Myers wife McKroskey and wife
dlsllklng the idea OF Myers marrying her, in
to heir house. Saturday the mon guarreled
md Myers was bound over for carving con-
cealed weapons. Sunday Myers went over to
Mckroskey'st to get Mrs. Myers, who went there
Saturday, and after some conversation McKros-
key ordered Myers to leave the house. The lat
ter started to do 80, and it is said drew a re-
yelyer and threatened to shoot McKroskcy.
The latter followed Meyers into the yard and
shot him in the face with a double-barrelled
shot gun. This was not fatal and he fired the
other barrel into Myers body who died in a
few i%ainutes. 1t is believed to have been a cold
blooded D,urder.

THE RUSSIAN POLICE.
what IL Means TO be Ina Their Hands.
Contemporary Review

In Russia every one who has the misfOr-
tune TO fall into the hands OF the police as
a DOlitical offender-no matter how Trivial
his offence may be-is in ninety-nine cases
out a hundred a lost man. The prelimi-
nary detention is made at the arbitrary
pleasure OF the prosecution, which in Rus
STA Is another name for the police. They
can arrest and detain whom they will. No
blame attaches to a mistaken arrest. On
the contrary, the more arrests the greater
the merits OF the prosecutor. For instance,
lt the time OF the trial of the "hundred
and ninety-three," in 1873. there were, over
and above this number OF the accused,
about 1,400 persons arrested. or these
half were set at liberty after few months,
but the remainder were kept in prison
during the whole four years that the case
lasted, save only seventy-fye who died,
some by suicide. some OF consumption,
some insane. Aud in more recent times,
when the white terror followed upon out
breaks of revolutionary terrorism, and es-
pecially in the reign OF Alexander Ill,
who invented species OF political
procOnsuls, such as Strelmikotf, to de.
vastate towns and provinces, and arrest
right and left, the seventies have
been even greater. But | have no
positive figures at hand. The nor
NAL penalties for political crimes are
simply Draconian-ten years at the galleys
for single speech or for reading or pre-
serving proclamation. And whenever
prosecution follows an outbreak the trlbu-
nal receives special orders to aggTayate the
Denalties so as to make "a salutary exam
ple,r and the verdicts become legal asSassi-
nations Of the most monstrous character.
The lad Rosoysky was condemned to death
and actually hanged at Kiev on the 9TH OF
March. 1880, for merely havingin his house
proclamation of the Executive Committee.
The same Judgment was passed on the stu
dent Efremof for having lent aro0m in his
house to two reyOlutiOnists who were con-
certing a plan OF escape without even
taking their young host into confidence.
But his sentence was committed to life
long condemnation TO the galleys in conse-
quence OF his having the weakness 20 APP
peal for mercy. Drobiaskin, Maidansky,
Lisogu0, Tthubarov, were all hanged
some for having subscribed money to the
revolutionary cause, others for conveying
a box, OF which they did not know the
contents, but which was proved to contain
notes for circular drawn up by two or
three youths-Otfences, one and all, which
the actual law OF the country Furnishes
only with exile or few years OF imprison-
ment.
