The PLANTERS Monthly" SAYS:
Messrs. Horner & Sons, of Kukaiau,
Hawaii, are doing bit of road work for
cane hauling purposes, that would make
any road commission in the country open
their eyes with delight. The road
crosses two very deep and precipitous
gulches on so broad a gauge and easy
grade that their large iron wagons,
groaning under load of cnae, may be
drawn with ease. One important item
in the construction is bridge eighty
feet long.

Not So Romantic.

panse to the enhancing strains of "See-Saw."
He was one of the proud-but so bashful-
rink professors, and she giddy young miss
and SO pretty. See, she bends her grace
full head to catch the encouraging words he
is whispering to her-so full of fattery.
How sweetly she smiles as she whispers:
"And were you ever at Albany before?" 20,
yes" he replies; "a few years ago l had the
pleasure of visiting your beautiful city,
and, L remember it well. I stopped at the
Kenmore"
Not so romantic when, a few days after,
the proprietress of The Kenmore happened
to be one of the on-lookers at the rink, and
while talking with this sweet young miss,
espied the dandy professor who had stopped
at the Kenmore. "Why," she exclaimed,
'there goes one of my old elevator boys"

A DIFFERENCE.
Conflicting Opinions About the
Union Elevator Steal.


The wheat steal is still the topic of
conversation on change" and there Is
a great difference of opinion as to
whether Harley is the man who en-
glneered the scheme. Some say that
Harley, wilhelm D. c. MOak's employ,
discovered that crooked work was go
ing on and tried to draw out. but
was held by contract which
only expired Aug. l, when be withdrew
and formed partnership with Peter
son. Others claim that it was Harley
who led MOak into the deal which has
ruined him, and that he is responsible
for the whole matter. At the meeting
of MOak'S creditors held last Saturday
afternoon, the directors of the Union
Elevator company agreed to turn over
to the assignee the $1,000 in cash, which
was extOrted from the insolvent firm
Just prior to their assignment,
thus swelling the firms assets
materially. This action of the
elevator directors has placed them in
more favorable light with the grain
men, who believe now that all of
Moak's creditors will have an equal
show in the settlement of the insolvent
firms affairs. When this settlement
will take place, no one seems to know,
unless it is the assignee, and he refuses
to make any statement in regard to the
matter. 1t is reported that the Bur-
lingtOn Railway company was stuck by
the failure of Moak q Co., for about ST.
600.

TWO WE'RE SENTENCED.
Dawson and Lewis Go to the
Penitentiary,

0e~sACOh anu AOWI0 0O W VIC
Penitentiary.
The crowd that assembled yesterday
morning at the court house to her the
trial of the three burglars in the Aid
rich cases were again disappointed.
The three prisoners, Dawson, Blake
and Lewis, were brought into the court
and took their places with their attor-
ney, w. II. Donahue, on one side of the
table opposite the county attorney and
the state witnesses. Just as the
case was about to be opened Nh. DOna-
hue walked around to the other side of
the table and had long conference
with the assistant county attorney,
Robert JamiSOn. Then Mr.. Donahue
held conference with his clients, at the
conclusion of which Sterling P. Dawson.
the leader of the gang of burglars, came
forward and pleaded guilty to grand lar
ceny in the first degree. There are
seven indictments against each of the
three burglars, and the one Dawson
pleaded guilty to was the one for the
larceny of quantity of cigars from
Winecke IL Doerr. In passing sentence,
Judge Young said in consideration of
representations made by the county at
torney he was disposed to be lenient,
as he understood that the prisoner be-
lOnged to respectable family, and
there was reason to believe that he
might yet become respectable man, if
he turned from his evil ways. He then
sentenced him to serve five years in the
state prison. Joseph Lewis, the young
est member of the gang, who looks like
"a big, OvergrOWn boy, then came for
ward and was allowed to plead guilty
to grand larceny in the second degree
for the same OffenSe. He was sentenced
to serve eighteen months in state
prison. Blake, the third member of the
gang, was then remanded to Jail and
will have his trial to-day.
August Warren, a colOred individual,
who was tried last term for throwing
brick through the window of house
on Fourth avenue south and hitting
little girl named Katy Kurrigan on the
head, and in whose case the jury failed
to agree ON a verdict, was discharged,
the county attorney having entered
nolle in his case.
Charles Smith, charged with picking
the pocket of man at Lake Harriet,
pleaded guilty to grand larceny, second
degree. On account of his youth, the
prisoner being only boy, Judge Young
made the sentence six months in the
county jail.
Evan E. Gay was brought into court
and discharged. He was indicted for
burglariZing saloon, but the indict
ment having been lost, there was no
charge against him on which he could
be arraigned.
William Connors, a colored man. in
dicted for grand larceny III the second
degree, pleaded guilty to petit larceny
and was given three months in the
county jail.
Thomas Murphy, indicted for selling
liquor without license, was arraigned
and pleaded not guilty. His trial was
set for tomorrow.

The Wonderful Leroy.

Without doubt the finest exhibition
ever given on a tight-rope in the North
west was that given by Prof. Leroy at
the Exposition last evening. When the
hour arrived at which he was to make
his first appearance every seat was
filled by an audience comprising some
of the best people, who were anxious to
see what would be done to satisfy their
desire for novelty. That they were sur
prised as well as pleased is putting it
mildly. When he first crossed
on the rope, hopping across
as lightly ami as easily as though
walking upon solid floor, they
became enthusiastic. When he walked
across blindfolded, his feet, limbs-an
body enveloped in a sack, they grew
demOnstrative, but when he gave his
exhibition on the trapeZe, concluding
by throwing himself off and catching
with his feet. their applause and admira-
ton knew no bounds. He is, beyond all
question, the most finished equilibriSt
and high-wire ascensionist ever seen in
this part of the country. And good
Judges who were present declared
that his performance was as fine
as any given by the famous BlOndin or
any of his cOmpatriots. No one regretted
more than Leroy the high wind of yes
terpay, which made it impossible to
make his jump from the. top of the
tower. Had he attempted it he would
have been driven against the building
ard perhaps badly hurt. He will, how
ever. make it to-day, wind and weather
permitting. at 2 p. M, and will here
after give his nightly exhibition at

Awards in Woman's Exhibit.

This afternoon the committee of Ia
dies who were requested to pass judg-
ment on articles in the wOman's de-

only an article in collection of
unusual and valuable laces, silver, etc.
The second prize for unique heirloom
was drawn by silver betrOthal medal,
C.. Z. Mayo, of St. Paul. Honorable
mention should be here made of the
baptismal bowl and candlesticks, once
the property of Gen. William Henry
Harrison, now owned by his niece, Mrs.
E. J. Davenport; and the old mahogany
chest owned by Miss Stryker. The one
prize for embroidery was awarded
10 Mrs. l.. A. Dawson for a large
case of elaborate and valuable work.
Especially to be commended was the
fine china decorated by Mrs. DR.. Fargo,
Mrs. S. p. Harrington, Mrs. Clark, Mrs.
A. B. Chamberlain, and the ivorytype
miniature work by Miss Payen. Honor
able mention was also made of the
unique and valuable autograph quilt by
Mrs. Henry T. Wright, the embroider-
les by Miss Fields, the very fine needle
work by Mrs. Late, the painting on
boiling cloth by Miss Madleigh, Miss
Ales and Mrs. Cox.
Great was the regret that the number
of prizes was not larger.

GOT IT IMMEDIATELY.
A Woman Who Had Good Cause
for Divorce.

A blue-eyed little woman, who gave
her name as Mary E. Sullivan, APP
peared before Judge Hicks yesterday,
and asked for divorce from Thomas
Sullivan. She stated that they were
married at Prescott, Wis, on the Goth
of April, 1880, and that the issue of
the marriage was one child, who is now
two years of age. She told pitiable
story of the brutal treatment she had
received at the hands of the defendant
during her short married life, and
was fully corroborated by witnesses in
regard to the statements which she
made. According to the testimony,
Sullivan appears to be little more than
a brute, and Judge Hicks, who general
ly withholds his decision in divorce cases
for two weeks after hearing them, i'm
mediately granted her an absolute
divorce, and made an order giving her
the care and custody of the child. and
ordering Sullivan to pay her so a
month for its support.

is totally unfit for the place. A general

A good story on Judge MahOney, of

of police circles just now. 1t seems
that some time ago the judge gave his
hired girl orders not to disturb him
after O'Clock at night, no matter who
wanted to see him. A few evenings ago
Inspector Howard and Mr.. PillSbury
went to his house to get him to issue a
warrant for the arrest of the wheat
thieves. 1t was nearly midnight, and
the hired girl answered the bell. She
was told what was wanted. but told the
visitors that the judge could not be
seen.
But we must see him." insisted In

But you can not see him." replied
the girl. IF Grover Cleveland called
here himself | would not let him see
