An ingenious Minnesota workman

An ingenious Minnesota workman
did very clever thing the other day.
1t had become necessary to raise hugo
block of stone about half an inch from
its bed, and in the absence of derricks
or other mechanical powers it looked
like hopeless task. Not to be defeat
ed by such trifes, he attached num-
Der of ropes to the rings with which
the stone was furnished, tieing the
other end to the top of the windmill
under which it lay. He then mounted
the windmill and poured pail after pail
OF water on the ropes, which in the
morning had shrunk sufficiently to lift
the stone the reoired height.

A MISSING PREACHER.
Mysterious Disappearance Of {
Kentucky Minister.

CINCINNATI, o., March Friday aft
ernoon, Jan. 81, Rev. j. S. Walker, pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church
south of Augusta, KY, took passage on
the steamer Big Sandy for this city en-
route for Cynthiana to assist his brother,
w. S. Walker, in prOtracted meeting
at that place. From that day to this no
tidings have been received OF him, and
it is known that he did not reach his
destination. February came and passed
away and his church was without pas
tor. Quarterly meeting came two weeks
since and no pastor. The presiding
elder, Rev. Soutngate came, as was his
intention, and was surprised to hear of
his mysterious disappearance, where
upon several leading spirits of his con-
gregation Instituted themselves into an
investigating committee to ascertain, it
possible, his whereabouts. AS yet no
trace of the missing man has been found.
Letters were written to his brother, w.
S. Walker, of Cynthiana, and also to
another brother who resides in
Fleming county, Kentucky, but neither
of the above named gentlemen know of
his whereabouts. The membership is
at loss to understand the matter. Some
insist that he was drowned from the
boat, others that he has been foully
dealt with while still others hint at
things that so early come to fertile
brains and lips of confirmed gossips. 1t
is now an established fact that Mr..
Walker is missing, and his whereabouts
still remains a mystery to his friends and
relatives. The last seen Or heard of Mr..
Walker was on the Big Sandy, just be-
fore reaching this city. He was in con-
versation with Nicholas Young, of
Pendeleton county, Kentucky. a son-in-
law of Mr.. Harrison Louderback, of
Augusta. Both were to take the same
train the next day. Mr.. Young stayed
on the boat all night, but does not know
whether Mr.. Walker did OF not, but he
is positive he was not Oh the train the
following day. Mr.. Walkers brother
| is now searching for his missing relative,
but as yet he has struck no clue which
would lead to solving the mystery of his
whereabouts. Rev. }. s. Walker has a
host of friends in Augusta, and has been
very regular in his appointments since
last September, at which time he first
went TO the place. 1t is believed he left
the steamer at the landing in this city,
but what has become of him is a myS-
terry.

EGYPT"
A Play Written by Woman Will
Be Presented at the Grand.

BE presented AT the 1fanu.
1t need not be told that Egypt, or A
Daughter of the Nile" was written by a
woman, for the traces of femininity are
to be seen in both construction and SEN
timent of the play. The plot is con-
structed. in the main, according to cor
rect dramatic rules, and yet in some re-
spects there have been licenses taken
that none other than female author
would have ventured. 1t is the story OF
a poor American girl, outwitted by a
rich rival in love affair with young
English lord who is doing this country
in the guise of landscape painter.
the poor glrl deserts her hum
BILE abode and aged father
TO find, after years of trial and hard
study, fame and fortune on the French
stage. Then Fate, in its cycle, brings
the hour of vengeance and sweet retri-
button to Egypt" who is known i'll
Paris as the Indian princess, but who
in reality was the erstwhile servant
girl, and all ends well.
The play is not only better one than
"Woman Against Woman" but it gives
Miss Ellsler better opportunity to eX-
hlbit her versatile gifts The bright
soubrette part of Egypt" the country
maiden, is admirably suited to her, and
she gives the role an Interpretation
strikingly similar to some of Lotta's
best characterizations. AS the plot
deepens and grows more heavy, comes
the chance for good emotional
acting, particularly in the third
act, where she is sustaining
the character of a princess, and is al
most forced into betrayal of her real
identity by receiving the sudden intel
ligence of her old fathers death. This
is the strongest act of the play, and the
one in which Miss Ellsler exhibits the
finest histrionic qualities. In the fourth
act she performs marvellous feat of
physical endurance by posing for full
twenty minutes in sight of the audience
as Galatea statue. The minor parts
in the play are well sustained by the
company, Miss LIE Baron and Mr..
Weston doing the leading work. The
same bill tonight. ''Camille" to-mor-
row night.

ADrug Store Robbed.

: CHICAGO. March IA bold robbery
was committed about 10 O'Clock last
evening in Twenty-siXth street. Three
men with handkerchiefs tied across
revolvers at the head of the clerk be-
hind the counter and rifled the till and
showcases of money and articles of
value. The prescription clerk hearing
the noise started out but was fired at
by the robbers and made hasty retreat.
One of the men then reached across the
counter for the other clerks watch and,
not being able to get it, drew a knife
and inflicted an ugly wound in the
young mans shoulder. The robbers
then left the store and have not been
captured.

Senator Sabin, who is stopping at the

Il do not anticipate that the house

marked the senator, ''and certainly such
propositions as are made in itwould not
receive the sanction of the senate. My
candid opinion is that very little tariff
legislation will be accomplished during
the present session OF congress and Dotn
sides will be content with making a
show merely for campaign effect"
AID. S. Bell, of Boston, Mass, and
president of the syndicate of Eastern
capitalists who have secured the control
of the Northwestern Car companys
plant, was among yesterdays arrivals

turn for the Investment OF over Sl,0O0,-
600 outlay at the recent auction sale at
Saltwater. There are some matters OF
a routine nature to be perfected ere

Bells object in visiting the Northwest
at this time is to give his personal SUI
pervision to the company'S affairs.
