A True Index.

watching the advertising columns of a
newspaper We are enabled to know the
exact condition Of mercantile affairs, OF
the general prosperity or depression in
the town where the paper is published.
We can sit at our desk and pick out the
live, business towns all over the coun-
try, and also the slow and dead towns.
There is no better index to a town than
its newspapers. They are a better
criterion to go by, and are considered

bitants and not the size of the buildings

a paper and read at a glance, "Ws mean

were printed in big type and red ink
across each page.

The crops are disappointing. There

These July rains are doing good service
for the grains, especially corn and oats

coming up in abundance flax is doing
excellently. And there will be a great

JULY 90, 1899.

The outlook for the opening of the
Sioux reservation, while it is not alb
solutely discouraging, is not as 1atterine
as might be desired. The commission
is meeting with bitter opposition at the
Cheyenne agency, where a large num-
Der of Indians from Pine Ridge and
Rosebud agencies are said to be exerting
a powerful influence in opposition to
the cession. The commissioners are
however still hopeful of success, and it
is by no means improbable that they
may eventually accomplish the impor-
tant object of their mission.

II is a fact worthy of notice that who

It is a fact worthy of notice that who
ever may get rich in booming Dakota
towns, 1t is not the newspapers. There
are some onlookers who will tell you
that this condition of things is due to
the improvidknt management Of the
publisher rather than anything else. 1t
may be that this is the correct solution,
but that the public is a tickle master 10
serve, no one knows better than the
editor. The toes of one man are trod-
den upon ever so lightly, and he takes
out his ad, stops his paper, and does
what he can to damage the offender.
The fact that there has been nothing
wilful or malicious or even careless on
the part of the offending editor makes
no difference. The ad and paper are
stopped all the same. This is no way
to build up a town. If an editor mani
tests to a patron a malicious desire to
harm him or his business, or slight him
without cause, the patron may be ex-
cused for feeling aggrieved. But it does
not pay to withdraw patronage foi
almost no p%rovocation at all. The turn
of the editor will come. and he will need
be more angelic than most editors are j
he does not take advantage Of his oppor
tunity .-Mandan Pioneer.

COTTAGE WHERE TRAGEDY OCCURRED.
Robert Ray Hamilton, was dissatistied
with the life his son was leading, and
had frequently written to him to come
home and settle down. The general was
so much interested in this that only few
days before the tragedy he came down to
Atlantic City to bring the desired end
about. It is said his wishes were ac-
ceded to. and that at the time of the af-
fray the couple were packing prepara-
tory to going to New York.
Descended from q father who was a
brute and n mother who had not sutfi-
cient will power to make her imperions
daughter obey her, Eva Steel was born
in Deshaure, Penn, in 1851.
1t is u mining section of the state, and
her surroundings in childhood were not
those calculated to inspire either moral
lty or refinement in any young girl. Her
father was & man given to eXCesses in
liquor; he beat his wife and chased her
from his house when indulging in one OF
his sprees. This occurred several times.
and on one occasion the mother brought
Eve to New York for n short stay. When
she returned to Deshaure her head was
filled with what she had seen in the
great city, and she determined to enjoy
some of the luxury of which she had
been witness.
mining superintendent named Par
sons gratiied her desires to see life, and
for two years she travelled about with
him as his wife. She then drifted about
in various cities leading fast lifeuntil
her meeting with Hamilton in 1856.
1t was thus they met

was walking through the hall like u
tigress searching for its prey when Mr.
Hamilton caught her eye.
Later in the evening MIR. Hamilt on
found himself in a proscenium box,
where fun was raging fast Suddenly
an alteration occurred in corner, and
Mr.. Hamilton saw the pretty blonde that
he had noticed earlier in the evening

furiated woman, more beautiful than ever
in her wild anger, and paCilied her
Here the infatuatiOn began. Although
at the zenith of his fame, the refined
statesman allowed himself to visit the
vile woman whose idea was to trap him
and make him hers, body ana soul. What
he could see in her to fascinate a man
his education and refinement cannot be
understood, but she must have possessed
some occult qualities to be able to enter
tain such n man.
Mr. Hamilton's visits to her grew from
occasional ones to those of regularity,
and finally his infatuation grew deeper,
and he removed her to place where he
could visit her at will.
Even when he gave her the right to use
his name and made her member of one
of the proudest families of America, she
dragged him further into the depths of
dishonor and soiled him forever in tho
mud of vice.

-Roherr Ray Hamilton, q member OF
the New York Legislature from the Muir
fay district. New York city. He is son
of Gen. Schuyler Hamilton, one of the
leaders OF New York s 400; grandson
of John G. Hamilton, author of Life
of Alexander Hamilton" and a great
grandson of Alexander Hamilton, the
secretary Of the treasury under Wash
ington, who was killed in the duel with
Aaron Burr. He is a member of the New
York Bar, the possessor of an income Of
SIS, 900 year, and was until a few years
ago, prominent figure in society in the
metropolis.
The story Of his courtship and mar
riage is as romantic as the story of the
tragedy is thrilling.
Hamilton is about 40 years of age, and
his wife about ten years younger, and a
hopeless victim of the morphine habit.
About two years ago they were clan
destinely married in New York. Some
months ago he took his wife to southern
California with the intention of locating
permanently. Mary Donnelly, nurse
to his siX-month' sold child, accompanied
them. He returned disguised and then
stopped at Atlantic City. Here Mrs.
Hamilton display of diamonds and
magnificent costumes at once created "a
sensation, End the movements of the
couple We're noted with interest.
Many stories are atloat rs to how the
tragedy occurred that was finally brought
to what at first looked to be q fatal end
ing, but the most generally accepted
story runs about like this:
1t seems that previous to Hamilton's
acquaintance with his wife, she had
formed an attachment with Joshua, ,or
"Dotty" as he was almost always
called) Mann. and even after her marriage
she still kept it up, meeting him st
times and places when the knowledge OF
her doings could be kept from her hus-
land, and also supplying him with
funds. Hamilton finally noticed Mann,
and also remembered the fact that at
every place he and his wife had been
during the season the same man had
been about. lie al first thought tho
man was thief following them about
for the purpose OF robbery, but at last
the real facts of the case broke upon his
mind.
He said nothing for day or two, bat
when his wife announced her intention of
going to New York, his Indignation over
came him and he grasped her rather
roughly and said, You are my wife and
you remain here; let Josh Mann take
care q! himself"
MIS-. Hamilton grew furious and des-
perate, aud May Donnelly, the nurse,
entering the room at that moment, she
turned her wrath upon her. Snatching
Up u Mexican dagger, and with cry of
you have exposed me, she plunged the
weapon into tho poor girl abdomen.

No Musical Ear in Horses.

Recent Investigations in France Coca
TO prove that the horse has no ear for
music, and only a slight understanding
of time and military signals. Several
circus men confessed TO the investigu
toF3 that they had never seen Il horse
with musical instincts. The popular de,
lusion that a trained horse occasionally
walt2es in time with the music, they
said, was unsupported by experience.
The music was always played to suit tho
step of the horse, which was regulated
by signs from the trainer. Most war
horses were found to pay little attention
to a signal for a charge, save when
aroused by the significant movements of
a rider. A troop of riderles5 cavalry
horses were unmoved by martial trumpet
calls. Altogether, the Investigations
concerning horses on the field of battle

Roman Girl and her Doll.

Some days since the workmen who are
digging the foundation for the new law
courts in Rome discovered q sarcopha-
gus buried thirty feet below the surface.
Immediately the telephone called to the
spot the members of the Archaeological
commission, scientific and literary men,
who watch with jealous care all the ex-
cavations made in the Eternal City.
Under their direction 1t was carefully
raised and opened.
Within lay the skeleton Of q young
girl, with the remains OF the linen in
which she had been wrapped, some
brown 'leayes from the myrtle wreath
with which, embematic of her youth,
she had been crowned in death.
On her hands were four rings, of which
one was the double betrothAl ring Of
plain gold, and another with Filetus, the
name sof her betrothed engraved upon
it. A large and most exquisite amethyst
brooch, in Etruscan setting of the finest
work, carved amber pins, and gold
necklet with small white pendants were
lying about.
But what is most strange, as being
almost unique, was q doll of oak wood,
beautifully carved, the joints articulated
so that legs and arms and hands move on
sockets, the hands and feet daintly cut
with small and delicate nails. The fea-
lures and the hair were carved out in the
most minute and careful way the hair
waving low on the forehead and being
bound with tillet.
On the outside of the sarcophagus was
sculptured her name, TryphHna Creperia,
and touching scene, doubtless faith
fully representing her parting with her
parents. She is lying on a low bed, and
striving to raise herself on her left arm
to speak to her heart broken father, who
stands leaning on her bedstead, his head
bowed with grief, while her mother is
on the bed, her head covered, weeping.
1t seems but yesterday, so natural is
the scene. and yet it was nearly eighteen
centuries ago that these stricken parents
laid so tenderly away their dearly beloved
daughter, with her ornamenCs and her
doll.-Youths Companion.

ter at what hour he had gone to bed. But
he was so fast asleep that he never heard
it; and the bell rang again still more
sharply without any answer.
Then the door of the inner room
opened. and cut came very strange
figure indeed.
1t was o small, lean, gray-haired Old
man in shabby uniform coat and pair
of long riding boots, which looked a.

month; and as if he were not untidy
enough already, he had smeared the

One could see by the flash OF his eye
and the set of his hard old mouth, as ho
came striding out, that he was very
angry at being kept waiting, and that a
terrible scolding awaited the poor little
page, who lay sleeping there so peace
fully, knowing nothing at all about it,.
But as the kings eye fell upon the lad $

change.
