Where We Got Our Dinner.

By invitation, Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton took
dinner at Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Jackson's
on New Years day. It is not worth
while to say that many others did the
same thing. The situation will be best
expressed by saying that the entertain
ment began about $50 P. M. and contin-
we'd until II P. NJ. The repast was as
ample and inviting as anybody ever sits
down to. Mrs. Jackson ia model cook.
The occasion of this entertainment was
the arrival of the golden wedding day OF
Mr.. and Mrs Jackson.
Many gifts were presented to them by
their friends.

From the Colorado Springs Republic.
Messrs. domri and Pebbles of this
city are now making preparations to dis
pose of their two large herds of sheep
which they purchased in New Mexico
early last spring. Last spring these gem
tlemcn handle i'm the ncighborhood of
1000 head, which were bought in north
crn New Mexico and sold before they
reached the Arkansas river. In January
OF the present year MIR. Pebbles went to
New Mexico and contracted for the
two herds which are now being
driven to Kit Carson OH the Kan
sas Pacific railroad. These sheep were
selected from the most improved fiocks
within n radius of two hundred miles of
Las Vegas, and were bought especially for
feeders and the Eastern markets. The
first heard numbering 10000 head arrived
at Kit Carson yesterday, and several large
Eastern dealers will inspect them there
next week. The other herd numbering
1000 will arrived at the same place about
the twentieth. The sheep market is very
active at present and the supply of mutt
ton sheep For the Chicago and Kansas
City market is limited. The wool and
sheep industry i'm this section of the coun-
try was never i'm u more fiourishing com

The Real Short Line.

There is a great deal of talk just now
in the papers about "Short Lines" to
this, that and the other point. From
some of the claims put forth, the public
would get an idea that the railroad hav-
ing the least mileage between two given
points is the "Short Line" beyond
question. But is it? Is no account to
be made of time, comfort, or accOmmO-
dations? Is not the true "Short Line"
the one which makes the best time, has
the smoothest rOadbed, and furnishes
the best accommodations? If these
considerations have any weight, it will
be found that 1.-THE Burlington" is the
real Short Line from the Twin Cities to
Chicago.
The mileage is little more than that
of one or two of the older lines, but 1t
makes the best Running time, is the
only light-grade thOrOughfare, and has
an equipment uneQualed for elegance
and comfort.
The first train over the line. Oct. "a
1856, made the run from st. Paul to
Chicago in eleven hours and ten min
utes; ST. Paul to La Crosse. Nov. 8, 132
miles, in I25 minutes-time that has
never been equaled or approached.
The idea that The Burlington" is
longer line than others is totally errone-
Gus. Travellers will find it the Real
Short Line.

THE COLON CASE.

County Attorney JamiSOn, in 4 dis
cussiOn that took place yesterday III the
COLON case over signatures of MI.
Blaisdell, expressed a willingness to
have every signature OF the latter that
could be procured go into the trial. AS
an earnest of this he handed over to the
defense q big bundle of cheeks and other
papers signed by Mr.. Blaisdell. Judge
Shaw received the package with pro
fuse thanks, and commenced the WORK
of examining them at once one by one.
To-day he will probably be able TO re-
port how many tremOrs he found IN
them.
&C. Curtiss will take the stand again
this morning and will probably be fol
lowed by Mr.. Hagen, of Troy, \, u,
another expert on the part of the state.
The state will hardly close the case to-
day but will probably do so t0-mor-
row. 1t is likely that the defense will
consume all of the remainder OF the
week. and then will come the evidence
in rebuttal, which will probably be
quite lengthy and require the presence
of a number of witnesses who have not
vet been in the case. It is likely that
the defense will attempt TO show that
Mr.. Blaisdell was mistaken as to his
whereabouts on different days III June
and July last.
Everybody is on tIptoe for some SEN
satiOn, which, it seems to be expected,
the defense will create when 1t gets at
its side of the fight. 1t is noticeable
fact that confidence IN Mr.. COllom's
ultimate acquittal is not as widespread
and general as it was before the trial
commenced, but this is. no doubt, largely
owing to the fact that the state has dis
closed its case. Probably when the de-
Tense gets well into its side of the con-
test there will be another change of
sentiment.
The expense of the trial is going to
be something enormous, and it will
make nice little bill for the county to
foot. No estimate can be made at pres
ent, but it will probably not fall short
of $4,000 before it is ended, particu-
larly if the accused is convicted and the
case goes to the supreme court.

Considerable time was spent in discuss

PUSHING THE WORK.
Ready for an Early Trial of Elec-
trio Motors.

Work on the proposed Fourth avenue
electric street railway line is being rap
idly pushed to completion, and by to-
morrow night it is expected that the
tracklaying will be finished and that by
Friday the cars will commence run
ming again. The new tracks are
all broad gauge and some new cars will
be used. The electricians who have
the contract for supplying the motive
power expect to have their work com
pleted by Nov Is, but General Manager
Goodrich does not expect the electric
line will commence running much be-
fore Dec. l. If the electric motor test is
success on the Fourth avenue line the
cars from this line will be run north on
Third street during the winter. The
power houses at Thirty-frst street and
at the corner of Third avenue north aud

TWO DESERTED WOMEN
Ask for D;vorce---A Man Deserts
His Wife on Their First Ami

VcrSafy.
There were two complaints filed yes
terday in the district court by Minneap
oils women in action for divorce from
their husbands. Emma Eiseman is the
plaintiff in one of them, and asks for
divorce from her husband, Joseph Else
man, whose business is that of a sales
man. The couple were married at
Granville, ILL.,, just three years ago,
and lived together until last March,
when. according to the complaint.
the husband deserted his wife.
But deSertiOn is not the only
allegation of the complaint. 1t states
that in January of 'SS Joseph struck his
wife, telling her to the floor and hurt
ing her severely, and that the next
month he beat her over the back with
a lamp. Mrs. EiSeman states that her
husband receives $1,000 a year, and is
able to support her.
The other divorce is asked for on the
ground of desertion. Mary A. House is
the plaintiff and Edward House the de-
PENDANT. They were married at st.
Paul ten years ago. and in March, 1880,
the first anniversary of their wedding,
the husband deserted his wife. and has
not been heard from since. There is
son, now ten years of age, OF whom
Mrs. House asked the custody.
