CURRANT CAKE.
Decided After Thirty Years.
from the London Times.1


A singular lawsuit has been brought
to aconclusion in Lippe-Detmold after
nearl y thirty years of litigation. 1t
was an old custom O. the principality
that whenever q princess Of the reign
ing house or the collateral branches
was about to marry sum of about
the value OF e15,OOO was raised as a
marriage gift for the princess by a tax
on all persons liable to direct taxa
ton. Hence this marriage gift re-
ceived the name of princess tax"
In 1857 the Countess Won Hasslingen,
born countess of Lippe-W eissenfels,
commenced suit against the govern
ment and chambers of the principality
for the marriage gift to which she con-
tended she was entitled according to
immemorial usage. The supreme court
of the principality, has recently de-
cided against the countess, who, how
ever may take her case before the SUI
preme appeal court Of the empire. For
the little principality of Lippe-Detmold
the being discharged of a payment of
els, 900 Is no small gain.

VICTORY AND DEF EAT.
BY RODNEY WEIGH.

I Innyched to the field of battle,
SHE entered her cottage door,
ARC the fairest face | had ever seen
Eladdened my heart no more
stood where the deadly war cloud
3laluged it's leaden rain
And The turf where her feet had glided
Was piled with the dying and slain.
ArUund us stalked wild desolation-
Esr home fed a furnace of flame.
As over the groans OF the wounded
The glad shout OF victory came.
They told us the fierce war had ended,
That for me were position and fame,
But a wound in my heart was bleeding,
And n battle still ragged in my BRAIN
At home, on the sea- and beyond it,
With hope for a compass go,
Where the green northern pine tree eXalteth-
Where the gray Spanish moses droop low.
EvEyy night with it's wild dream OF carnage
Comes vision unspeakably fair,
Ayakens the hopes that have sumbered,
Then leaves me in Sullen despair.
VIII the now be continued hereafter? -
VIII hereafter eternally be?F
What meaneth 'There will be no night there !?
BY daylight no vision l see.
Too much or too little know not
Was a curse or a blessing the Sightf- =
Shall hope or have fear of hereafter?
Viii l see her where there is mo night ?"

A PTTsBURG Judge has set an exam
pie which other judges would do well
to initiate. When convicted robber
was brought before the court for
sentence the judge asked if he had any
thing to say for himself, and the guilty
man pleaded that he was drunk, when
he committed the robbery. "Well, +"
replied the Judge, II had intended to
give you two years, but as you say
you confess to being drunk when the
crime was committed, [ will add six
months more to your sentence" And
he did. When it comes to be under
stood that drunkenness is an aggrava-
ton, and not an extenuation of crime,
lawless characters will quit filling
themselves with whisky as a stimu-
liant to deeds of desperation.-St.
Paul Globe.

THE SATURDAY NIGHT FIGHT.
Arrest of the Baker Who Cut Open the Neck
Of Jacob Boss

Philip Boyer, the baker who cut open the neck
of Jacob Boss in the fight at Mozart Hail. Satur-
day night, particulars of which were given in
the Sunday Journal, was arrested by Patrolman
Hines as he was coming from his boarding
place, yesterday morning, at II o'clock.
His statement regarding the trouble is that
while waltzing with Al Lafert he accidentally
ran against Boss, who became angry, and having
control of the building, proceeded to eject him
from the hail. Miss Lizzie Wundrum, the
young lady whom Boyer took to the dance. pro-
tested against the treatment of her escort and
expressed her opinion about the matter in very
strong language in the presence of Boss
who caught her by the waist, as Boyer
claims, and led her from the room He
then brought out Lafert, and it was during the
struggle between Boss and Lafert that the cut
ting was done By Boyer. Lafert has not been
arrested, but il is claimed that he will be present
in court to-day to testify on the trial of the case
Boyer is young man, and until about a year
ago lived in Cincinnati, where some of his rela-
tives live. The charge against him is assault
and battery with intent to kill. The condition
of Boss last night quite as favorable as
could be expected. and if the wound does not be-
come seriously infamed, it is probable that he
will recover.

THE OPEN AIR CONCERT.
A Superb Musical Organization of Seventy
Two Artists-Programme TO Be Rendered.

Those who heard the Mexican National Band at
the New Orleans exposition can vouch for the
fact that their concert at the Exposition grounds
has never had before, It has no connection
with the Mexican orchestra which was here
lately, but is full brass band of seventy-two
soloists who are all soldiers in the Mexican
army forming part of the Eighth Cavalry.
They will be received with military
honors by the home military organ
izations and the Governors staff.
They wa be escorted by the Emmett Guards
and the Rice and Richardson Zouaves, Ned by
the Governors staff, to the Board of Trade
building where an informal reception, presided
over by the president of the board, will be given
them. The band will be introduced by Gen.
James r. Carnaham, as the Indiana COM
missioner to the New Orleans exposition, and
addresses Of welcome viii be delivered by Gov
ernor Gray and Mayor McMaster or behalf of
the State and city: This formal welcome is
thought appropriate because Of the fact that the
band is the special pride of Mexico, and was sent
as it's special representative to this country.
The band is now on three months leave of
absence, sightseeing and paying its expenses by
giving concerts. The Mexican government does
not permit it to play except under military
auspices, and in places where its national and
military character is recognized. 1t is expected
that citizens generally will join with The mem
bers of the Board of Trade in the reception at
3:45 o'clock this afternoon.
The music of the band is said to be exquisite
Though there are seventy-two instruments in
the band the music is not harsh nor blatant, but,
blending together the tones rise in the fortlssimo
passages in melody of marvellous volume and
harmony. Ample streer-car facilities have been
arranged to take the crowd to the Exposition
building, and citizens with carriages can drive
into the grounds without extra charge The
illumination for the occasion will be faultless.
The whole entertainment will be entirely free
from the crowding and heat usual in indoor
summer entertainments If the weather pre-
vents the use of the grounds the concert will be
given in the building. The programme for the
entertainment is follows

INDlANA'S SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
The Display of the HoOsier Educational In.
terests at the New Orleans Exposition.

The New Orleans Times Democrat of June
Is contains the following complimentary refer
ence to the Indiana school exhibit at the great
worlds fair:
'The beautiful school exhibit of Indiana was
loaded on the cars yesterday for its Northern
home. This display in the educational gallery of
the government building has been one of those
silent teachers that speak by works well done.
Indiana has sent no college work to the EXPOSE
ton, though she haslfve or six universities and a
score or two of institutions for higher learning,
but prides herself on her public school system, and
is very justly proud of it. At most every cross
road in the Hoosier State can be found the brick
schoolhouse and within are active normal
teachers with from thirty to seventy earnest
pupils. From these schools come much of the
work which adorned the educational department.
of Indiana at the great worlds fair From the
towns and cities of the State there were displays
of school work highly creditable for neatness
and proficiency Among these may be mentioned
LaPorte Lafayette, Terre Haute, Richmond,
Michigan City, Plymouth, Muncie, Warsaw,
Anderson Greencastle, Tell City, Crawfords-
vile, Frankfort, Thorntown. Delphi, Mitchell,
Vevay, Spencer. Goshen, Columbus, Valparaiso,

night that Moses M. Patton of Galveston, Tex.
who IS IN the city, had threatened the life of his
wife, who is here stopping with her parents
Patton is the secretary of the Street Railway
Company in Galveston, but it is claimed tina,

The Ereeport Railroad

Those of our citizens who have been
''hOping against hope that something
would turn up to cause the location of
the road through this place, have at
last been compelled to reluctantly con-
cede that we have lost it. The news
that the company has closed a con-
tract for 10000 tons of steel rails has
therefore no interest to US, however
gratifying it may be to our Saltwater
neighbors.
When Solicitor Briggs said to the
people of certain of our neighborlng
towns, that the aid asked from them
was necessary to make up the $500
900 called for by their contract, with
out which the road would not be built
they doubted his statement, and turn
ed a willing ear to those, who, inspir'
ed by what seems to us mistaken
and short-sighted economy, advised
them that they were sure to get the
road whether the aid asked was grant
ed or not Now that we have lost the
road and the farmers have missed the
only opportunity that they will prob
ably ever have, to get Minneapolis
merket right at their doors, most OF
them will admit, to themselves at
least, that they have made serious
mistake; that they have been, in fact
penny wise and pound foolish.
But it is useless and worse than USE
less to indulge in reproaches or sigh
for "what might have BEEN" River
Falls at least will always have the sat
isfaction of knowing that this road
was lost through no fault of hers
She promptly and almost unanimously
voted all that was asked of her, and
her business men exerted their utmost
efforts to induce the adjoining towns
to stand by her in the endeavor to Sc
cure competing line of railroad that
could not fail to be as great an ad
antage to them as to River Falls.

Hon. II. 2. Ames, County Judge,
died at his home in Ellsworth on Sun
day evening at the age of 81 years.
Judge Ames was an old resident of
this county, having been here thirty
years. From his first arrival he has
been identified largely with the county
government, having been sheriff,
county treasurer and county Judge.
In all places of trust he has proved a
faithful and upright officer and pains
taking in all his work. For some time
past he has been suffering from a cam
Ger which finally caused his death.

We cannot too cordially commend
the recent action of Mr.. Villas, of Eau
Claire in declining to oppose Mr.. Tay-
lor as candidate for Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. 1t has been
the purpose and practice of all citi-
zens of this state, few Political
hacks excepted, to keep the judiciary
out OF politics. In fact the law max
ing judicial elections occur in the
spring, evidently was in harmony
with this idea. AS matter of fact Mr..
Taylor is Republican and Mr.. Villas a
Democrat. Very soon after Mr.. Villas
was urged to allow his name to be US
ed as candidate, it "transpired" that
the politicians were taking hold of
the matter and threatening to make
the canvass political one. On dis
covering this Mr.. Villas peremptorily
withdrew, although his reputation as
jurist would have made his election
more than possibility. We under
stand the Democrats will support Mr..
Taylor almost solidly. This is as fiat
tering to the people as it is to Mr..
Taylor. 1t amounts to almost crime
at any time to pollute the judiciary
with politics. and it would be espec-
tally SO now, when PARTISAN feeling
is so faint, and party lines so uncer-
tain.

A Wide-Awake Town.

Mr.. EDIToR:--Baldwin, town up
on the main line of the Omaha rail
road, fully understands the value of
competition between railroads. In
order to divert the Freeport road
from River Falls to that place the
town, which includes the village,
offers aid to the amount of five per
cent. of its assessed valuation, and the
village votes five per cent. of it's valu-
alton, thus making tax of ten per
cent. upon the village and five per
cent. upon the rest of the town out
side of the village.
They figure that this competition
will reduce freights and increase the
prices of wheat and other products OF
the town sufficiently to pay back the
amount of their aid IN single sea
son.
If the road had been located by
River Falls it would have been a
greater benefit to the farmers of Kin
nickinnic, Troy and Clifton than it
will be to Baldwin, but contempti-
BILE little tax of from to 3 per cent.
completely broke the hearts of the
liberal minded, public spirited citizens
of those towns. Is it any wonder that
we get left out in the cOldl j.
