that portion Of Dakota which 10 long

was given charge of st. James church,

he was oonsecrated bishop and then

Frank Rande's Suicide.

Joliet, ILL.,. March 8-Frsnk Rande

OF bis undershirt aud suspendes. With
these he made rope and fastened them
to the top bars Of the door. He then
placed his coat and vest over tho iron
works Of the door to shield his body
from the chilly touch Of the iron, and at
the bottom Of the door he placed his cell

body had very natural appearance,
except the face, which was rapidly turn.
ing black. Thursday afternoon Warden
oOlaughrey paid visit to the cell of
Rands and conversed with the wretch
for . few moments. Rande had not been
informed that Deputy Mcdonald was in
fair way Of recovering, and was under
the impression that his cruel blow had
killed him. Rande seemed glad to see

The warden did not reply to
him, but as he was passing out Of the
cell Rande called him back and begged
him to take him out and hang him. II
cannot do that, Rande; but never fear,
you will be hung soon enough" was the
reply. The warden then left him At
six O'Clock in the evening the guard
opened his cell and passed in Rande's
supper rations. At that hour the bandit
was pacing up and down the cell, talking
wildly to himself. The supper was
placed inside the door and the cell locked

party did.
There was but ono question.
Had the girrs beauty saved her,
or had she escaped by chance and
skill Would her beauty save her
nowl No likely. She knew too
much now to live.
The party of armed and long
haired horsemen rode down the
hill toward the camp, against the
rlsing sun, very leisurely now
Their long desperate search was
over. They knew at a glance
from the hill that the fugitive was
with this party (; that we were try
ing to set out with all speed at this
unnatural hour to save her by
flight.
The girls first impulse was to
dash into the thicket again. But
she was very weak and wretchod.
Better to die where she stood. She
put her hands to her thread, her
breast, as if feeling about in a wild
way to know where they would
strike her with long knives as they
leaned from their saddles. She
seemed choking, and could hardly
breathe. The world was passing
away. Her head sank on her
breast. She was silently waiting
to die.

rank grass and willows, and looked
in every direction for some one,
need not open their lips now. All
understood the whole terrible
tale.
"They had been judged, and
were not"
The tragedy had taken place. or
rather the murders had been com
mitted, on this very stream, and
not tar from this very spot ; as
some blood stains a little way up
the stream still bore testimony.
Everything, of course, of value
had been taken; "they had been
Judged, and were not" Their
property was coniscated to the
church. How the girl had escaped
she hardly knew herself. And i'll
deed no one asked directly. You
do not understand
Well, then you reflect that no
one could trust his neighbor, you
will comprehend why no one spoke
above q whisper now; and you
will not be surprised hat she was
not pressed to tell her tale. Words
are not the most eloquent things
to tell a story with any way. Even
the children huddled together in
groups as they crept out of the
wagons, and understood, and were
silent rs Indians.
The girl sat down by the water,
well concealed, and ate some bread.
Then after a while, with the help
Of some plying women, she comb
out her long splendid black hair
and tied it up with a ribbon. She
was even then strangely beautiful.
The men kept looking up and
down the stream as if half expect
ing the Danites 10 dash in upon
them from almost any quarter at
almost any moment. A steep
high hill rose abruptly before us.
To 10Y on with the girl and so
escape by sudden flight before dis
coyered-this was a doubtful eX-
pertinent, and yet some wanted to
try it at all hazards. 1t seemed
that if we could climb that ridge
that rose stecply before us, and
drive straight and steadily ahead
till we came to Green River, we
might escape. Anyway we were
too terrified to remain here. Things
were packed up, the weary oxen
again yoked, and all was ready for
an advance.
Zone thing to our Advantage,
the old spy is off his track anyhow, "
said a woman to her husband as
she handed him his OK whip.
The mar looked at her, crooked
his thumb just a little down the
stream toward the lake, and said
nothing. There sat the singular
man composodly by the side of his
coffin, quietly reading a book as
usual, and munching a morsel OF
dry bread.
Just when he had come no one
knew. Perhaps he had passed
the little party in the night by a
shorter path, known only 20 him
self and his Danites.
However, it was all-important
that no one should seem alarmed
at his presence /; and then what
else could be done all was now
ready for moving on. We could
not stop now without shOwingtcar.
At the last moment the girl, be
tween two women, and quite con-
cealed by their shawls, crept into a
wagon with a party Of children.
The little train stretched itself out
and began to start bravely up the
hill toward the west. The leader
stopped, threw up a hand And
there on this hill, right across the
dim road, a party Of horsemen sud
denly drew rein.
"Danites :"
1t was whispered h s one
word, and that only by the women.

Thepapers in the Ohio valley have ex-
humed the following prediction of E
Stone higgins written to the Insurance
Times on the Goth of last December:
"The winters of 1884 and 1885 will be
remarkable for the abundance of snow /,
for the descent Of the snow-line far
down toward the equator, killing the
orange trees in Florida the week follow
ing the moons conjunction with the sun.
when the latter is over the tropic Of
Capricorn; for intense cold over the
northern hemisphere; forvolcanic erup-
lions in both hemispheres; for unusual
foods in Europe and America of each
year, and on account of the excessive
moisture, the failure of the wheat and
corn crops in 1884 and 1875. Farmers,
therefore, during these years, should
raise those grains which best flourish IL
humid atmosphere" These predictions
have had o certain degree Of fulfllment
this year, and there are many people
who are inclined to believe that what is
said of 1884 may come to pass, but it is
we'll to recollect that Virgins proph-
ecies have often been proved failures,
40 much so, that his name has become Q
synonym for humbug. People are very
apt however, toforgett the failures, when

is seeking, even at the risk Of a rupture
with the United States, to arouse among
his people an animosity against this
