Asked for His Name.

A wicked, wicked story is told by The Chi
cago Mail, to the effect that new reporter
on The Tribune of that city went the other
evening to write up reception. He got
on very well until he met fine, gray whisk
cred old gentleman, the center of a group Of
ladies and gentlemen in a corner of one of
the parlors. The young man had jotted
down the names of the others and asked
the gray bearded old gentleman very po-
litely: "Wll you kindly give me your
name, sir? Pm making a list of the
guests" "Eh!" said the gray bearded old
gentleman, putting his hand to his ear. 81
would like your name, if you please?" re-
peated the reporter. ''Eh! What" and the
old man inclined his head attentively. The
young man thought: "Well, here's a nice old
guy to be turned loose in decent society. l
wonder why he doesn't carry an ear
trumpet!" But he only gathered lung full
of wind and said in a voice that startled the
dancers: 'Tm a reporter, and would like
your name" "Oh, reporter, Ell? What
paper?" 1.-THE Tribune. Will you give me
your namep' The old gentleman stroked his
gray whiskers tenderly, looked at the re-
porter calmly, and said quietly: Joseph Me-
dill. New York Tribune.

The sweet girl graduate and the bumptious

glad to meet them and shake hands with them
across the chasm of years. We are glad to
hear once more their plans for giving down
trodden woman her proper sphere in life, and
for solving within few weeks time all the
social problems We sympathize with them
most heartily; for a happy experience has
taught US what blissful thing it is to know
80 much. Were they a whit less enthusiastic
we should be ashamed of them, and predict
for them failure in the coming struggle with
the world. As it is, they are our hope, and
they give US fresh courage-Albany Express.

TOO MUCH PREPARATION.
A Brockten man has spent forty years
working on plan for ship railroad across
the Isthmus of Panama. And a man in Pitts
burg has been working twenty-five years at
another one. Neither plan is yet completed.
Too long, that's the trouble. One of these
days a man who has been too busy to think
much about 1t will get up and put ship rail-
road across the isthlnus before he finds out
that he has to have plan That's the way
these things are frequently done.

BATON ROUGE, La, Aug. 5.-A bloody
duel took place yesterday morning near
Cottonport, Avoyelles parish, between
Charlie Armour and his father-in-law,
Harry Ducate, in which the former was
severely and the latter mortally
wounded. The fight grew out of an
alteration between the two men at
dance the night before, when ar
rangementS were at once made for
meeting on the banks of the bayou
in the morning. The two men
faced one another at daybreak in the
presence Of fully fifty men, friends of
both the combatants, who had come to
witness the fight. The men were placed
in position with their backs to each
other and considerable distance apart.
At the signal both men turned and ad-
vanced rapidly, firing as they ap-
preached one another, and never stop
ping until both cOmbatantS lay pros
trate upon the ground. Ducate was
struck in the stomach with seven buck
shot, making a wound from which he
cannot recover, while Armour's right
knee had been shattered by rifle ball.
Both men were taken to their homes
by their friends.

CONFESSED TO INFIDELITY.
Mrs. Maybrick Not BOrgia. but
an UnfaithfuI Wife.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. Sat the trial of
Mrs. Maybrick for the murder of her
husband to-day the examination of wit
nesses for the defense was continued.
DR.. MacNamara, eX-president of the
Irish college of surgeons. testified that.
in his opinion, Mr.. Maybrick's death
was due to gastro-enteritis, and not to
arsenic. DR.. Paul, Psychological exam
iner in the Victoria university, declared
that it would take months to eliminate
arsenic from the system if it were taken
over twice. He also thought the symp-
toms in the case of Mr.. May
brick accorded with those of gas
tro-enteritis. A chemist testified
that ladies often purchased
fly papers for use as cosmetics. A
hairdresser said that arsenic was fire.
uuently used by ladies to improve the
complexion. Mr.. Poole. ex-mayor of

Mr.. Maybrick had told him that he took
poisonous medicines habitually. This
concluded the evidence, and Mrs. May

she explained the presence OF fly papers

brought to genuine farming and
agricultural puTsu is as rapidly
as possible. Hundreds of set
tiers have been camped on
the eastern bank of the Missouri during
the past two months, awaiting the sue
cess of the commission, and though for
several weeks they were very despon-
dent, they are now jubilant and they
are receiving kilograms from friends all
over the country, giving notice of prob
able reinforcements. 1t is predicted
that the rush to the reservation will be
greater than the Oklahoma stampede,
as the land is OF much better quality
and the prospects for prosperity much
brighter. Gen. Crook and the commits
sioners hope to close their reports
within a few weeks, and place every
thing in readiness for the formal open
ing of the reservation. There is some
fear that premature rush of whites to
the lands will cause much trouble be-
tween the Indians and the settlers, as
there will for some time be many points
of dispute as to boundary lines and sur
vey. Sitting Bull. although in the
minority, has a sufficient number of

trouble, and will require close watching
until the reds resign themselves to the

+ PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-A passen-
ger train on the North Pennsylvania

into by a 'wild" locomotive this morn
ing. and several passengers were
slightly injured. Both engines were
battered up and the smoking car and
combination car were also pretty badly
smashed. The passenger train left FOR

occurred was engaged in conversation
with a friend. Both gentlemen were
thrown out of their { g It's and shaken up

no injury. The engineer Of the "wild"
locomotive states that the valves and
throttle of his engine would not work.
He was going at a rapid pace and saw
the approaching train, but was power
less to avert the collision. No one was
seriously injured. The road was cleared
of the wreckage in a short while and

ton there will not be dozen who are
not personal friends of the pickerel
statesman, and not a man who VIII
have the courage to say ''no" to what
he may ask for. 1t is under
stood that he has expressed a de-
sire for the nomination of A. b.
Kittridge, of this city, and J. e. Cotton,
of Toopi, for the senate. Kittridge is a
young attorney of Sioux Falls, and IS a
friend Pettigrew can rely on during all
kinds of legislative weather. Cotton is
the admitted leader of the Prohibition
lists in Minnehaha county,. He is a
farmer, and will be pleasing to the al
lance and the Prohibitionists. What
part he can find with Pettigrew, high
license and anti-farmer views, it may
be hard to see. but certain it is that he
has pledged himself to vote for Petit
grew if he gets chance. In opposl-
ton to Cotton. II. W. Smith, president
of the Minnehaha County Farmers al
lance, has been announced. Smith
was in the legislature few years ago
from this county. He. too, has an
nounced himself as in favor OF Petit
grew, and it may be that Cotton will be
cast overheard and Smith taken as a
more reliable man. John Nor
ton, ex-mayor of the city; G.
w. Hubbard, S. E. Young,
another prohibition leader, BurkhOlder.
of Valley Springs. Nesbit, editor OF the
Dell Rapids Times, are among those
selected by Pettigrew as the men he
wants nominated for the lower house.
This county constitutes one legislative
district of itself, and by virtue of popu-
lation if is allowed seven representa-
tives and two senators. The start,
therefore, given the PettigreW Doom in
this county will be not incOnsiderable.
In the convention there will also be a
fight on the judgeship. The candidates
from this county ale Park Davis and
I'll. HI. Keith. The only candidate so far
in the field, outside of Minnehaha
county, is Frank r. AikerS, OF Lincoln,
the present occupant of the bench. The
fight is therefore between Davis and
Keith as to which shall drop out
from the race, and this Will
be settled also tomorrow. Davis
has secured the almost unanimous in
dorSement of the Sioux Falls bar for the
place, but Keith has strong friends out
side of the bar, who will make fight
for him. The delegates have not been
chosen with any one eye to the Judge
ship, and there will be some terrific
campaigning and buttOnholing among
delegates before the convention is
called to order at 2 o'clock tomorrow.
On the whole, there will be much fun
among +Ne boys tomorrow, and it VIII
not be ltertaining to be present.
