The Haymarket riot in Chicago for completely
In which the anarchists to suffer the sevcrcst
legnl penalty, occurred on the evening Of May
last, and grew out of the memorable eight hour
movement inaugurated in Chicago and other
cities on the st OF that month. Popular excite

several days, which was materially augmented
BY he wild utterances Of the socialists. The
fncts connected with the riot, or, more properly
speaking, massacre, are SO familiar to the news
puper reader that no extended rehearsal IL
necessary here: The meeting OF anarchists, which
had been called by Spies and his accom- plices
was in progress and Fielden had just finished
his speecn, when large force of police appeared
upon the scene. bomb was almost Instantly
thrown in their midst. followed Immediately by
pistol fight between the officers and rioters
The result was that seven policemen were killed
on the spot or died later in consequence of their
wounds. and some thirty other officers were in
jurcd. The arrest OF Spies, Fielden Schwab,
Neehe and the other anarchists cXceDt Parsons
and LingG was shortly effected, and the Office Of
the Arbeiter Zeitung, paper edited by Spies
was raided, and its contents, including, besides
printing material, dynamite and other socialistic
appliances, contiscated. Lingg was captured on
May IA after fierce struggle, and Parsons sur
rendered June 81. On June 5 the eight anarchists
were indicted for murder In the first degree
The trial took place in the criminal court, Judge
Gary presiding. Nearly three weeks were CON
sumed in obtaining jury, all possible methods
to secure delay being resorted TO by Capt. Black
and Messrs. Solomon and Foster, counsel for the
prisoners. States Attorney Grinnell had charge
OF the prosecution. Avast amount Of testimony
was taken during the trial, which weariy drag
ged through tifty-nine days. Probably the most
damaging evidence for tho state was that of Gil
mer. who swore that he saw Spies light the fuse
to the deadly bomb and that the missile was
and was supposed to have committed suicide;
his decomposed body being found in the harboI

The Red River Drainage showing.

The following is the regular monthly re-
port OF the Chief engineer, and makes a
gratifying showing for the time spent in the
field:
The work began July 80 in Polk
county at the junction OF the Sand Hill
river with the Red River OF the
North. The plan OF prosecuting the work
is by tracing the section lines east
and west, recording elevations at each Sec
tion and quarter section corner, and such
intermediate points as may seem OF value.
The four instrument men start from q
common point and level on parallel sec
tion lines, usually checking on each other
at the close OF the day by means OF tie
lines, thus determining the comparative
value and correctness OF each mans work
A field map is kept in Connection with the
survey, which is corrected and filled in as
the work proceeds. The map shows that
the east side OF the marsh near Beltrami
is ninety eight feet above low water mark
OF the Red river. Across the marsh from
the railroad there is q fall of thirty
feet in ten miles toward the west.
This slope is uniform aud the
minimum fall will not be less than
two feet per mile, and probably can be
made to reach the full average OF three feet.
East OF the marsh the lines OF drainage are
not toward the stream, but parallel with
it. The lower Sand Hill seems well adapte
in size and fall for the outlet OF this district
1t has a number OF tributaries which termi-
nate at the west edge OF the swamp, and
which can be made available for drainage
outlets. Few, if any spots in the marsh
indicate an alkali soil, and the surface wa
ter is sweet and suitable for drinking. The
sod is fifteen inches deep, below which is a
black soil eighteen inches to three feet in
depth. Subsoil is clay, and ia from three
to six feet below the surface. The facts so
far developed indicate that plan can be
found for the successful drainage OF the
Sand Hill country.

An Editors Troubles Ended.

Once during the career of young De
Nyse he was made managing editor OF
the Telegram, and he was informed by
Mr.. Bennet that the editorials for the
paper would be furnished from day TO
day by Mr.. Levien, who occupied q po-
sition on the Herald staff. These cdi-
torlals used to come in writing in a
number of different hands and marked
must" by Levien. De Nyse became
dissatisfied with them and imagined
that they were hurting the paper very
much. So one day he called on the
proprietor. Said he:
''Mr. Bennett, you have made me
managing editor Of the telegram, and
l am trying my best to push the paper to
success. But this man Levien is ham,
pering me very much"
.How soP' questioned Mr.. Bennett,
looking up with some surprise.
''Wcll, l don't want to interfere
with any man who is earning his bread
and butter, but, at the same time,
Lcvien sends in Il lot of editorials every
day that are not written by himself,
and suppose he is getting his friends
to do the work tor him. l shouldn't
object to that if the editorials were good,
but they are simply Internally bad
There is one man in particular who
| turns in about the worst rot ever saw
in newspaper. haven't the faintest
notion who he is, but the stuff he sends
through Levien is laughed at all over
the office, and is so trivial that it. lust,

MIR. Bennett took up slip of paper
and looked at it for moment. Then
he said: 80 you don't think this
writer ought not be allowed to put his
stuff in print?'

particular writer is id fool"
"Quite possible" said Mr.. Bennett.
very quietly. II wrote those editorials
myself"
Dc Nyse fell back in his chair with
gasp. His hair fairly stood on end.
He started to make some sort of an
explanation, but Bennett cut him
short.
"None of that" exclaimed the pro-
prietor of the Herald; ''none of that.
thought those editorials were pretty
good; but, as they do not seem to inn
press other people in the same light, l
shall never write another. Good day."
Mr.. De Nyse returned to his post
considerably saddened, but he never
had any further editorials from Mr..
Bennett.-NeaU York Letter.

Smiths 8 Saloon.

II hear that Smith has sold out his
saloon" said one of a couple of middle
aged men who sat slipping their beer
and eating bit of cheese in Smith
field street saloon last Friday night.
"Yes," responded the other, rather
slowly,
'What was the reason? I thought
he was just coming money there
The other nibbled cracker abstract
edly for a moment, and then said:
'It's rather funny story. Smith, you
know, lives on Mount Washington,
right near me, where he has an excel
lent wife, a nice home, and three as
pretty children as ever played out doors
all boys, you know, the eldest not
over 9, and all about the same size.
Smith is pretty respectable sort of
citizen, never drinks or CANDLES, and
thinks the world of his family.
'.Well, he went home one afternoon
last week and found his wife out shop

went on through the house into the
backyard, and there. under an apple
tree, were the little fellows playing.
They had bench and some bottles and
tumblers, and were playing keep sa-
LOOM He noticed that they we're
drinking something out of pail, and
that they acted tipsy.. The youngest,
who was behind the bar, had towel
tied around his waist, and was setting
the drinks up pretty free. Smith walk
ed over and looked in the pail. 1t was
beer, and two of the boys were so
drunk that they staggered. A neigh
boris boy, couple of years older, lay
asleep behind the bar.

that he said as he lifted the 6-year-
old from behind the bench.
We're playin' sloan, papa, an I
was sellin' it just like You,' said the
little fellow. Smith poured out the
beer, carried the drunken boy home,
and then took his own boys in and put
them to bed. When his wife came
back she found him crying like child.
He came back downtown that night
and sold out his business, and says he
will never sell or drink another drop
of liquor. His wife told mine about it,
and she broke down crying while sba
told it. -

The Great Failure in boston.

Boston Special: 1t has been definitely
learned that William Gray, Jr., the de-
faulting treasurer OF the Atlantic and Or
chard mills committed suicide. His body
was found at Blue Hills. Samuel R. Pay
son made an assignment to Samuel John
son. This caused great surprise, as Pay
son had been considered one of the
wealthiest men in Boston. His diff
Guilty was caused by endorsement of
paper OF !. the Indian Orchard mills,
which were virtually owned by him
and his family. Gray was treasurer of
this MILL and Payson's assignment is tho
natural sequel OF Grays defalcation.
Payson has resigned as president OF the
City National Bank. His liabilities are
$3.50, 900. Payson stated that he thought
he had ample funds to pay his indebted :.
ness in full, but his affairs were in such a
condition that his property could not be
realized on decent value at forced sale.
The failure is due to shrinkage in the
shares OF the Indian Orchard mills. Pay.
son is q large owner in the Hallowell (Mo.)
Manufacturing company.

For I, earth's blindness above,
In kingdom of halcyon breath
gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
In his eyes heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earth's farewells
Half burrows that shining brow;
Souls taken from Times cold tide
He folds to his fostering breast,
And the tears of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts Of rest;
And still. earth's madness above,
In kingdom of stormless breath,

Through the splcndor of stars impearled
In the glow of their far-off grace,

With the souls in his strong embrace;
Lone ethers, unstirTed by wind,
At the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The flash of his winged retreat;
And ], earth's madness above,
Mid a kingdom of tranquil breath,
Have gazed on the lustre OF love
In the unveiled face of Death.
But beyond the stars and the sun

Till the pearl-white gates are won
