The Bender Identity Trial.

KANSAS CITY, November ga
special from Oswego, Kansas, says
The preliminary examination of Mrs
Monroe and Mrs. Eliza Davis, the
women who are supposed to be old
Mrs. Bender and Kate Bender respec-
lively, was concluded late last night
and the three justices before whom
the examination was made, decided
that the evidence was strong enough
to warrant their holding the
prisoners without bail to await
the action of the grand jury. Mrs.
Munroe and Mrs. Davis were the last
witnesses and they testified readily
answering all questions without en-
barrassment and apparently without
concealment. The general public
here is in sympathy with the prison
ers and much surprise was expressed
when the justices announced their de-

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day.
Toronto World
The fertile fields of our broad land
Have waved once more with ripened
grain,
And men have reaped with gladstone
toll
The generous harvest of their pain.
At springtide went the sower forth.
He sowed the seed in soil prepared ;
His WORK was done, twas nature then
That for the tiny Seeding cared.
And nature worked with purposed
The blade sprang silent from the
ground;
No rest, no haste, in season due
With ripened ear the stalk was
crowned.
Thus man did but his part at most,
The humber part it seems to be,
The growth, the increase manifold,
Are hid in Natures mystery.
Lo! what is nature men have asked;
This energy that meier is spent,
This mighty force, this unseen power
Mysterious, stern, benificent?
ave know not" is the cry of some,
"FOr Nature telleth not the why;
She standeth, like the Sphinx OF old.
With stubborn lip and stony eye."
Yet even so, let this be said
Nature hath given her gifts most
free,
And kindly hearts in generous deeds
May initiate her charity.
Thus may these join in helpful acts
With those whose vision sweeps
abroad,
And marks in Natures unseen power
The mighty energy of God;
With those who find in Natures gifts
The gifts OF One both good and
wise
Who grasp the thought that Love is
king
And right the sceptre of the skies.
flushed be all strife o. faith and
creed
Let each show kindness as he NAV
Let gentle thoughts and loving words
Make sacred this ] thanksgiving Day

Electricity in a New Role.

The uses to which electricity can

ize the fiery agent as cigar lighter
On the top of the case in which the
restaurant man keeps his cigars
stands a little oblong machine. 1t
has the usual sockets containing
nythelated spirits and torches, and
Oh its summit is little square pro-
lection. TO light his cigar the smok-
or takes one of these torches, sees
that it is well soaked in the spirit
and touches it sharpely against the
projection, which Instantly emits a
volly of sparks and sets the torch's
end abiaZe. The current comes
from the electric light wires up above,
from which a couple of wires hang
down upon the quaint little instru-
ment. 1t is an ingenious contrivance,
but / imagine that the shower of
sparks, which Is apt to scare all the
desire to smoke out of a nervous per-
son, will prevent 1t achieving very
high degree of popularity.

The Next United States,

NC" CuH
The dawn begins to flicker over an
other United States, in the southern
hemisphere on the other side of the
globe. THE project of consolidating
the Australian continent into one
powerful state" says our British con-
temporary, the Spectator, "has taken
great step forward" The move
ment toward such union of the Aus
tralian colonies has been in existence
for some time, led by the colony of
Victoria and resisted principally by
New South Wales. Before long, and
unlike the colonies of 1776, without
the slightest connection abroad or
even the sound of murmur at home,
England will see this great group of
her colonies pass into the new nation
of the United States of Australia, and
the other and older group, the Dom
inion of Canada, pass into the nation
that is to predominant in the western
hemisphere, the United States of
America: 1t is q glorious prospect for
the world!

SIOUX FALLS, Feb. 1.-THE salacious
story about the exciting interview be-
tween Gov. Church and EX-AuditOr
Caldwell, reported few days ago from
Bismarck. calls to mind the loving atti-
tude of these two gentlemen two " arS
ago, at the time Mr. Caldwell was given
a good big slice of the gubernatorial
patronage. At that time Mr.. Caldwell
could not say too nice things too often
about Gov. Church. He pretended to
be great admirer of the governor, and
covered him with the gold-fol of encOmi-
ums several inches thick. Whenever
Gov. Church came to Sioux Falls he was
entertained by Mr.. Caldwell, closeted
with him at the hotel, OF feted by him
at the Caldwell home. The friend
ship between the two was OH the
Da id-Jonathan order, except that
in the Dakota pair there was with the Re-
publican Jonathan something of the, ,ol-
little friendship and hattery for which
Mr.. Caldwell has been noted. But since
MIR. Caldwell has been at Bismarck this
winter he has put in his whole time try
ing to increase
THE HOSTILITY
of the legislature against the governor.
Gov. Church has been nettied
by his betrayal; and the open breach,
which almost became street brawl
was the result. This is the whole story.
Caldwell loved his friend until the plu4
basket was empty, and then he betrayed
him. The governor naturally re-
sented it: and the open quarrel, which
is the food for gossiperS at Bismarck,
was the natural result.

South Dakota Ii as reform school and
Is one ahead Of the North in that mat
ter. 1t is not reported that there is any
crying need for such an institution
North, as the youthful element is rea-
sonably free from viciouSnesS, but mat
tiers of that sort are not material. 1t is
the sectional equality that requires con-
sideration. If the territory cannot pro-
duce subjects to be reformed, importa-
tions could easily be had. There is an
admirable ediiice at Plankinton, that
cost $50. 1000, and it is claimed that no
finer public structure hi S been built for
that sum. 1t has an able corps of man
agement, and board of trustees that
has drawn S5,5O6 for mileage. They
have been faithful in drawing the
money, and no blame can attach to
them for the lack Of inmates. For some
months there were none, but by some
good fortune young African was Sc
cured, and local paper insists that the
rolls now have seven names, but wheth-
er regulars or engaged during the ses-
sion of the legislature is not stated.
There are accommodations for 100. 1t
is believed the negro lad can be de-
pended upon to keep the institution in
operation, and no apprehension is felt
that the five trustees will refuse to draw
their SIS day and mileage. There may
be dark Waif in the North, and it
should demand a reform school.

WHO IS IN THE SOUP?

Usually in the legislatures of the
territory the combatie forces have
worked on sectional lines. The forty
sixth parallel has served as the Mason
and Dixou's line. and the belligerent
element have reached their cllnched
fists over that division as it were. Some
how this source of vivaeity and spice
doesn't seem to be in operation this WIN
ter, and the only chance to relieve the
stagnation of harmony was to pit the
governor on one side and the legislature
on the other. This new alignment has
been made success. The governor
has kept up his side CALAMITY, and
hurled his defiant vetoes and mes iages
regardless of personal consequences.
But he was unequallY matched. lie
has gone down frequently, good deal
disfgured, but has sprung to his feet
and come up smiling with his gloves on
at every call of time. 1t would be a
hard task to fathom the philosophy
that Ii ais to this sort of contest. There
is no public interest dangerously III
volved. and the private matters are
muddled, unless the governor holds
that the Lord is on his side; and one
with the Lord is host. He has not
drawn very freely upon his stock of
prudence, and can hardly hope to put
his enemies in the SOup.

and lack of experience in the shoe bust

trade since he opened out in that line.
Two things have combi ned also to
sorely test the staying qua litieS OF bust
ness men in this art of the country,
viz, high rents and stringency in money
affairs. That rents are higher here
than they should be is well-knOwn
fact, and We're it not for the fact that
there is no better place in the West to

But il the territory denies the ballot to

knowing that it is the expiring gasp of a
