an increase in the reserve of s3,379,s75, ind a

The Arensdorf Trial.

The Rev. w. A. Evans, pastor of
the Congregational Church in Chero-
kee, Iowa, writes the Independent as
follows about the results of the trial of
Arensdorf for the murder of the Rev.
DR.. Hadd0ck
In Arensdorf's second trial the jury
acquitted him, and that after three eye
witnesses to the murder had given posi-
tive and mistaken testimony as to
his guilt. The trial was farce from
beginning to end. doubt If the his
tory Of American litigation can fur
nish the equal of this trial (?) for
wholesale perjury, bribery and exhi-
bition ofgeneral deprsvity. The first
trial would have resulted in acquittal
but for one juror who, when asked to
"name his price" spurned the base
offer and stood out alone for convic-
ton to the last. After the late YER
dict Of "Not guilty" was given, a
ompany of men styling themselves
"the business men of Sioux City,
gave reception to Argo and Erwin,
Arensdorf's lawyers, presenting to
each a goldheaded cane, and to the
wife of each a silver set. The brewery
firm for which Arensdorf worked pre-.
scented the same to himself and wife.
Yet nine-tenths of the people firmly
believe Arensdorf guilty of the foul.

other tenth are so besotted with the

Nevertheless, Haddock's work was
not in vain. The same shot which
rang out in the streets of Sioux City
announcing the murder of Gorge had
dock, also sounded the deathknell of
saloons in that city. Liquor is solo
there still, but under snch cover o
secrecy that only the initiated know o
it.
Meanwhile the work representing
offenders goes steadily forward, il
most cases successfully.
But the "Arensdorf trial" was sucl
a notorious travesty on justice tina
every religious paper in the lane

A system Which Il said to Assure Abso-
Lutte Secrecy Of the Ballot.
This plan is the only one ever yet
devised for securing the absolute
secrecy of the ballot cast. In brief,
it consists in having room adjacent
to and communicating with the poll
room, into which the electors are adj
mitted one at time; the voter selects
a ticket on which is printed the names
of the offices and the candidates to be
voted for Thus, for the sake of Illus
tration, John Brown and James Robin
son are candidates, say for sheriff, Sam
Smith and Tom Jones are candidates
for State Senator, and John Bull and
Sam Uncles are running for Assembly.
All these names will be printed on a
single ticket, furnished at State ex-
.nse, and will read as follows:
SHERIFF.
John Brown.
James Robinson.
STATE SENATOR.
Sam Smith.
Tom Jones.
ASSEMBLY.
John Bull
Sam Uncles.
The voter enters the room in which
the ballots are put, to take one up,
chances over the names on it Gt is es-
sential that he be able to ready, and,
blue lead pencil in hand, proceeds to
prepare the ticket. This is somewhat
the appearance it Will bear after he Is
through with it:
SHERIFF.

dashed the tail end of that living
hose, squirting the water where it
would do the most good, while the
loud pumping of the leader could be
heard above the roar of the confia-
garation. Within fifteen minutes the
last spark was out. Then and not
until then, did the pump snakes quit
work. They were completely ex-
hausted, the leader having tainted
away. The main part of the build
ing and its contents were saved,
thanks to the presence of mind of
these wonderful snakes.

"a few years ago the flagship OF tho
European squadron put into Malta for

lightful sea in ordinary weather, the
cities are attractive, their authorities
are hospitable, and ships on that sta
ton stand in need Of good deal Of
repairing. Our stay at Malta was not
IS agreeable as usual this time. Half
q dozen Of our men deserted. They
were seen on the streets, their hiding
places ascertained. and the Admiral
wrote polite request to the Governor
that they be arrested and returned to
the ship. In due time reply was re-
ceived. The Governor regretted that
his Interpretation OF treaties and inter-
national law would not justify him in
making the arrests. He found no mem
ton in the treaties between Great
Britain and the United States of any
return Of desertcrs from the public
service of either. and therefore Was

This commotion extended to the
quarterback. when eight British
soldiers in undress uniform marched
aft, making their way through the
staring crew, halted before the officer
of the deck, saluted, and stood at atten-
ton in the regular Tommy Atkins style.
The astonished officer asked who they
were and what they wanted. With the
utmost GOODNESS the leader replied:
"'Deserters, if you please, sir; from
Malta, sir; want to 60 to the States, sir,
to settle there"
"'Do you know that we do not enlist

"'Yes, sir; but we heard that there

This was an exact quotation from
the Governors letter, and an audible
smile ran round the group Of officers.
Nobody knew exactly what to do with
the deserters. They were sent forward
and shifted for themselves. The sailors
somehow provided them with naval
clothing. After a short passage under
sail we reached Alexandria, where we
found dispatch from the Governor of
Malta, sent by a swift steamer, request
ing the return of the deserters. The
Admiral at once replied that, there
being no treaty provision for the return
of descrters from the public service Of
either country, he must decline to COM

the ship, but we enlisted eight men at

The Pump Snake.

In central Dakota, on the Missouri
bottoms, there exists one ofnature's
strangest freaks. The settlers call
it the pump snake" How it came
there or where it came from is yet
unknown. 1t first made its appear
ance in Emmons county in the spring
of 1886. A full grown pump snake
measures about sixteen feet in length
and three inches in diameter. They
are ofgregarious habits, roaming the
praries in large herds, as many as
300 having been counted in a single
flock. In dissecting one of the rep
tiles there was found a tube which
extends from the roof of the mouth
to the extremity of the tail, and ter
minating in an opening. This tube
is about two inches in diameter, and
lined with tough, yielding substance
similar to rubber. The pump snake
is easily trained to answer the call of
man. The inhabitants in that Sec
ton trap them in large numbers.
a farmer on Cat Tail creek has a
flock of twenty pump snakes train
ed to remarkable degree of prof.
cheney.
AT the blast of a whistle the snakes
assemble on the banks of the creek.
The leader (there is always lead
er to herd of these snakes, who is
elected by two-thirds majority dash
es into the water of the creek, leaving
only the extremity oft tail on the
bank. Another snake grasps i'm
mediately the end of the leaders, tail
in its jaw, a third snake takes hold
of the second snakes tail in a SINH
lar manner, and so on until there is a
continuous line of snakes joined on,
extending to the water troughs in
the cattle yards, 800 feet away. The
leading snake commences to swallow
or pump the waters of theI creek
which passes through the long line
Of snakes as it would through hose
and falls in a heavy stream in the
trough.
The agriculturist told OF an extra.
ordinary circumstance that occurred Il
short time ago. While working in
q field near his home he observed
flames issuing from the roof hiso
barn. While with excitement he
hurried to the burning building, only
to see that it was hopeless task fol
himself alone to attempt to eXtin.
guish the flames. In despair he gazec
upon the work Of destruction; sud
denly he heard a loud rustling in thu
grass whence issued his herd of pumI
snakes on the run. The leader hurl
ed himself into the creek, the other
instantly adjusting themselves, heads
and tails, from the creek to the burn
ing building. The last snake stand
ing on its head, waved its long anC
flexible body, from the tail END O
which issued a stream of water Whicl

The best things are nearest; breath
in your nostrils, light in your eyes,.
flowers at your feet, duties at your

and daily bread are the sweet things
