Fought with Knives.

A school house near Perryyille, Ark,
was the scene Of terrible tragedy. The
teacher, William Clinton, had whipped one
of his pupils, 14-year-old girl, with a
switch. The brother of the girl sent
Clinton word that he would meet him at
the school house and whip him. The next
morning the young man came into the
school-room to execute his threat. Clinton
drew knife, as did also his antagonist.
The men grappled, stabbing at each other
in frightful manner. Some of the older
pupils interfered, and succeeded in getting
the knives from the combatants. 1t is be-
lieved that both were MORALLY wounded.

SEVENTH DAY.

Corn Palace festival was ushered in by
disagreeable weather, high wind prevail
ing. The attendance was good. which was
perceptibly increased upon the arrival or
trains duing the day. The civic societies
parade was the feature Of the day. aside
from which no other demonstration Of
note occurred on account of the weather.
The Palace was the chief object of interest,
the concerts Of the Elgin Watch Factory
Military band continuing to be great at
traction.

Sunday marked the close of the jubilee
year of Pope Leo XIII. 1t was celebrated
with great splemnity in all the Catholic
churches in the archdiocese and every
where throughout the world. The services
at Cardinal Gibbons cathedral were of un-
usual interest, and the cardinal himself
preached the sermon Of the day.

would sell at $1.24. There is a suspicion
that Hutchinson has most of the Deem.
Der wheat. and in consequence that option
went up to 81. The excitement after the ad-
]ournment was even greater than that
which prevailed during the session of the
board. Rumors about what "Old Hutch"
would do were too numerous to trace to au-
thority. The price was run up with Won
derful rapidity way above the days closing
price on the board by curbstone dealers.
The advance was marked by almost a street
bedlam. The price reached 81 80 for Sep
TENDER before sidewalk dealing ceased, and
and one deal is reported at 81 3I4.

A heartrsnding fatality, plunging two
Dubuque families in the deepest grief, oe-
Cured Monday. Two young men, named
Charles j. Bake, son Of merchant, and
John J. Eath, son of barber, went down
river a few miles below the city on fish :
ing expedition. During the day the boat
they were using was discovered capsized
and hat and coat found floating on the
water but no owners were visible. This
led to an investigation. and search re-
yealed the body of Nath drowned. His
companion undoubtedly shared the same
fate, but has not yet been found. Vath

Disastrous Fire at Canton, ID. T.

At IL O'Clock tuesday night the Dells OIL
Canton. d. t., rang out the alarm of fire,
and within twenty minutes the whole city
was out en- masse at the scene of the con-
hagration. The fire had started in the
third story of the Syndicate block, which
is situated in the heart of the city, and for
time it looked as if the whole city was
doomed. Tie fire spread rapidly from
building to building until the business
centre of the beautiful city was one
mass of leaping, roaring flames, whose
forks shot upward and lighted the
sky for miles around. In less
than two hours one whole block was de-
stroyed. including the Dakota Loan and
Trust company, the post office. fourteen
places of business and the Merchants
hotel. Canton has no fire department,
but the citizens fought bravely and finally
saved the adjacent blocks. Word was sent
the Sioux Falls department. twenty miles
away, which responded brave'y. making
the run in less than thirty minutes. They
did excellent service upon their arrival.
which was appreciated by every citizen of
Canton. The loss is estimated at 100000
and the insurance is light.

There is a sensation in Denver over the
supposed arrest of VIM. B. Tascott, the
murderer of Millionaire Smell in Chicago.
A man giving his name as Edward J. Car

scription of Tascott, the murderer, was
arrested and placed in the Denver Jail on

Denver wine house Us bartender for two
weeks. He was arrested by order of man
who had followed him for several months

stantly IN sight and waiting for a favor

Information comes from Dougherty,
Tex, tina. Gov. Gay marched into Tisho-
mingo, the Chickasaw capital. with an arm
ed force and took his seat. Gov. Gay was
legally elected governor, but was counted
out by the Byrd party and Byrd took his
seat as governor. The Gay party quietly
gathered some of his friends and took
the capital by surprise. The legislature
had not adjourned. The administration
has been calling on the Gay party for all
moneys, reports, etc., but was quietly put
off until Gay was ready to take possession
again. There was no trouble, bnt it is ex-
pected any time. and Gov. Gay will do all
in his power to prevent it. As soon as the
Byrd men are aware of the change OF
goyernorship hot times are expected.

As the young wife of James Lille, the
noted base ball player, formerly Of the
Buffalo and Kansas City league teams,
was filling gasoline stove at her home in
Kansas City, an explosion occurred and
she was Instantly enyeloped in flames.
Lille tried to seize her to smother the
flames, but she fought him off with all her
might. Finally he succeeded in seizing
her, and, though her clothing was in
flames, he tore it from her, burning. his
hands SO terribly that the right one will
have to be amputated and several fingers
of the left will be deformed. The poor
woman soon became the mother OF pre-
mature infant daughter, which died in two
hours, aud after suffering intense agony,
she too died. Lille was formerly regarded
as the crack outfelder of the league. This
year he has been living quietly here, his
wife being rich

FOURTH DAY.

The fourth day went on record as the
greatest of the week in point of numbers.
One of the noticeable features is the ex-
ceedingly good order which prevails, which
is doubtless due to the efficient police
force of the city, who zealously guard the
welfare of the visitors on all the principal
thoroughfares, in which they are aided by
large number of specials. Up to the
present time not an accident of any conse-
quence has been reported In the
forenoon the weather was something
threatening, and few drops of
rain fell, but by o'clock the clouds had
dispersed and the remainder of the day was
perfect one. An immense crowd of peo-
pie massed on Fourth street in tie fore
noon to witness the parade Of the North
western Association of Soldiers aud Sailors,
which was quite frequently cheered by the
crowd, especially the two foragcrs who
brought up the rear of the procession with
poles high upon each of which was SUI
spended fine specimen of a healthy spring
chicken. The parades of the after noon
each Of which we're viewed by,
an immense concourse Of people, were
which was composed of Iowa divisions,
and which took place shortly after 2
o'clock. At 6p. m. six divisions of the
FIRST Nebraska regiment paraded. In the
evening this latter regiment paraded arrayed
in the most grotesque and ntastic garb
which the mind could conceive, accom-
| panied by such music as could be ex-
| tracted from tin whistles, bursted drums,
Jewsharps and innumerable instruments.
| This feature was not billed on the program,
but was viewed by thousands Of people,
and was declared 70 be the most pleasing
one Of the day.
| The attendance at the Palace during the
day was the greatest Of the week, which
was naturally expected, each Of the numer-
Gus excursion trains bringing in multi
tudes Of new visitors. During the day tbs
city was visited by special delegations from
| Winona, st. Paul and Minneapolis. These
delegations were met at the depot by del.
egations Of leading citizens, and weri

THIRD DAY.

The feature of the third day was the in
creased number Of visitors over any pre-
vious day. Trainloads of people arrived
from all sections, who Immediately took
positions on the principal thoroughfares to
view the scheduled parades. The day.
however, was quite disagreeable, a high
wind prevailing, which blew the dust in
great clouds, and which kept great many
indoors. Toward evening the wind went
down, much to the relief of everyone. The
principal outdoor feature of the DAY was
the morning parade of the uniformed rank
X. of p. for which event the streets were
packed along the entire line of march. In
this parade over 1880 uniformed Knights
were in line, the first regiment U. r. X. of
p. Of NSyExska dlone furnishing six
divisions, tue whole procession being in
terspersed with numerous bands of music.
Already there are 1000 veterans--some
of them with their families-in camp at
Camp Cheney, situated on the old fair
grounds about two miles from the bust
ness part of the city. This will make a
good showing next week for military
week." when Gov. Larrabee will be in at
tendance. Sti other delegations of posts
are arriving on each train.
The Palace to-day had more visitors
than on any previous day, which is ex-
pected will be the case from now on, as
excursion trains are arriving daily.
The races and ball games are each well
attended every day, and the principal
streets at night are living mass of hui
mainly, viewing the illuminations, coming
to and fro from the Palace, and to see
what is going on and possibly to be seen.
Everybody should see the Corn Palace.

Extensive Dakota Prairie Fires.

From jamestown, ID. T., reports come
that one of the most extensive prairie fires
that ever visited that section occurred
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. All of
the western part of LaMoure county and
much of the southern and western part of
Stutsman county were burned over. A
strong wind drove the flames before it at
unprecedented velocity, Instances of
where the fire ran faster than horses and
wagon are narrated. Reports of losses are
coming in. Many farmers will lose every
thing, and much distress will be ex-
per.enced. The fire seems to have
originated in kidder county, abont
thirty miles west. The fire was extin-
guished in many places, but is still raging
fercelv in many directions. Passengers
on the James River Valley train say the
prairie from LaAIoure to within few
miles of jamestown, distance of fifty
miles. was all ablaZe. They could see
blazing barns, dwellings and grain stacks
from the car windows. The fire was also
west and north of the city. As vet no re-
,orts Of loss or life have come in. In
sufficient fire breaks are the cause OF the
loss in many cases. The prairie grass is
thick and dry, and ordinary fire breaks
were Intellectual in the face of the gale that
drove the fire on.

A ST. Louis Man Caught Short.

The remarkable advance in September
wheat at Chicago created less furry at st.
Louis than was anticipated and there was
no unusual excitement in the pit. During
the session il leaked ont that j. d. NJ.
keeplor, the we'll known st Louis million
aire, was caught in Chicago dealing on the
short side, some claiming for over 100, 200
bushels. Mr.. Kecplor stated to an Assoc
ciated Press reporter that he was $4,000
bushels short; that he had the wheat and
would ship it to Chicago for delivery by
special freight train. Every available cal
on the east side will be brought into
requisition and large amount of wheat
will be landed in Chicago before the close
of the month,

Partial Results of the Georgia Floods.

The damage at Augusta to the canal,
streets, bridges, ware houses, residences,
stores and merchandise by the floods will
reach $1,000 900. No estimate can be
made Of the damage to farms and crops
from Augusta to Savannah while the
country along the river is submerged. Two
hundred thousand dollars will be required
to repair the canal, streets and bridges.
All the railroads have been injured and
cotton mills have been shut down. Eleven
persons were drowned.

Francis Achille Bazaine, ex-marshal of
France. died at Madrid Sunday Of heart
disease. He was n years of age. His
death has created great surprise, although
it was known that his health has been very
bad since his illness Of a year ago. Nothing
has been said or published about him lately,
md the announcement of his death re-
called him TO many persons who had almost
entirely forgotten him. His exile has been
spent for the most part in condition
bordering on squalor, and the little money
which came to him from time to time was
contributed by some Of the few persons
who adhered to the belief that he was a
victim Of circumstances and the ingrati-
tude Of the country he served faith

sons OF the tleeease and few friends.

its magnitude the hospitable facilities of
Sioux City will be taxed to their utmost.
But Sioux City residents are as rule
generous to fault, and the prediction is
made that no one will go away dissatis-

deur of the Palace itself has been over
rated, for to the observer who listens to
the expressions of those who have viewed

heard, which is: 1T is simply grand and

The feature of the day was the
