Winnipeg Special: Chief Justice Waltbridgc
was asked what course would be adopted in
regard to the trial of Riel He replied that ac-
cordirg to law he would have to be tried in
the district or province where he was captured
He could not be brought to Winnipeg or sent
to Ottawa. The dominion government might
issue special commission and send up
Judges to try him Judges from here might
be sent or special judges for the occasion an
pointed, but the trial would have to take
place in the province where Rel was captured.
Under the present act the judicial authorities
in the district where Rel was captured have
power to try man for his life, but an appeal
to the Manitoba bench is provided. He could
not be tried by court martial under the ciTcum-
stances, as Gen. Middleton had promised in a
letter to Riel that he would be protected until
the dominion government decided on his case

incompetent management at Battlefora.

A gentleman in Winnipeg received a letter
from a friend IN Batteford, in which the fol-
lowing language is used
The management here has been really heart-
rending Property was destroyed by Indians
under the -ose of 200 good and WE'LL armed
men, and no attempt made, or permitted, to
drive off the scoundrels which could have been
done. Houses burned that could have been
saved, all through the incompetency of the
men in command. Our men fairly groaned
with anxiety to be allowed to act The
ruin is really awful If it was not for the
indian agents grub, starvation would be upon
us. Indian Agent Rae has done everything
in his power to aid the needy, and such is ac-
knowledged thankfully by the people. This
row has been brewing for months, and could
men. But the authorities were imbeciles Of
the first water, and the result is chargeable to
official cowardice-and misrepresentation OF
actual facts abroad. For had the people OF
Canada known the facts they certainly would
have compelled action in proper time.

evidenced all the frisky traits of that
facetious bird, and owing to the appar-

He succeeded in dragging himself home,

Wichita Eagle: The great Arkansas
river has contained q much larger flow
of water this Winter than usual, which
continued until the present heavy ice
was formed. The ground is frozen to a
considerable depth, and there is not q
little ice and snow on the surface. A
sudden thaw would send this surface
water into the river which would start
the ice. Now, what we started out to
suggest is, might not this moving ice
from dam against the upper bridge
and our people wake up some morning
to find our cat fish slough q real Adriatic,
our city Isola de Rialto very Venice.
Moline Press, 3Oth: Last night, at
Shinn's house, in Howard, there was
private dance. Shinn got into a drunken
craze and was violent. Mrs Shnn went
for the Mashall, Mark McBee, and told
him he must take care of Shinn or he
would kill some one. Mark tried to quiet
Shinn (who said he was not armed) and
attempted to search or arrest him, when
Shinn drew a revolver and shot Mark
through the breast, and fired twice at
the assistant. Mark then fired at Shinn,
the Dall entering the mouth, breaking
his jaw, tearing the tongue and going
out at the back of the neck. Both are
dangerously wounded.
lola Courant: There has been a great
deal of complaint this Winter regarding
the failure on the part of the coal dealers
here to supply this necessary article as
fast as needed, and one day last week we
took occasion to investigate the matter.
We soon found that the dealers were not
to blame in the matter. The trouble is
that the mines in this State and vicinity
are utterly inadequate to supply the de-
mand. Our dealers have constantly
standing orders for coal, which it is i'm.
possible to get filed. The wholesale
dealers and miners assert that they are
working their mines to their utmost
capacity, but the cold Winter and heavy
immigration the past season have rem
dered it impossible for them to fill orders
promptly.

What the NIiIliners Say.

Small knots and bows of velvet will
again be worn in the hair.
New summer bonnets will be OF drawn
net, close at the sides, with trimmings
very high in front.
A black net bonnet, with soft pink
roses, is very attractive, this combina-
ton of colors being always admired.
A glove intended for evening wear
reaches to the wrist, and has a long lace
sleeve of the color of the glove extending
nearly to the shoulder.
A beautiful little jacket OF black net,
embroidered all over with gold, with a
deep founce of gathered lace and MORE
sash fastened about the hips is very be-
coming to youthful figures.
In the latest bonnet styles is one OF
medium size, faced with gold tinsel trico-
tine, the brim finished with a fringe OF
gilt and straw beads, having a soft crown
of Egyptian embroidery in a design OF
tinsel and straw. The trimming was of
chartreuse green velvet ribbon, crossing
the top and forming the strings, and on
the left of the top a monture of green
marabout tips and oats, upon which rests
a large grasshopper.

sight of n Lifetime.

Cincinnati seems to get hold of all the great
modern stage attractions of late, and the Man
ager of Heuck's Opera House has secured fol
two weeks, commencing Sunday May 8, 1885,
the marvellous "Naiad Queen" spectacle which
has created such a furore in the large cities BY
its magnitudes and splendor. $4,000. 90 were
expended by its owner for its 8 car loads OF
grand scenery, wonderful mechanical appli-
ances and gorgeous costumes, and the creation
entire is said to be the grandest pageon ever
seen on the American stage. $50 performers
will enact its wondrous scenes, which display
flying Eagles carrying living children on their
backs, living figures rising from stormy
ocean depths, and living fairies descending
from Heaven to rescue lost children in the
woods. On a mighty Eagle, Liberty descends
from realms of air, and living Goddesses night
and morning float before your very eyes on
gossamer clouds. Hundreds of FAIRIES are seen
sporting in sylvan dells and glittering grolls
amid showers of silver and gold; moving wa
tiers, sailing boats, sinking rocks and tempes-
tuous storms are portrayed natural almost as
life-and the grandest tableaus and most en-
chanting scenes ever looked upon by human
eyes, greet the enraptured gaze. Excursion
rates will be made by all railways running into
Cincinnati. Don't miss seeing it for it will in
deed be a "sight of a lifetime"
