NOWADAYS, q house of mourning be-
comes, on the day of the funeral, a sort
of floral exhibition. In many instances
the persons indulging in these displays
a i'll afford the expense, as the un-
paid florist and undertaken can testify.
It is well enough to have a floral
wreath or cross, or q few cut flowers at
a funeral. The other day we attended
a funeral, and, although the deceased
was a poor laborer who had worked for
a dollar and a half a day, the flowers
covering his casket must have cost
we a hundred dollars. 1t would have
been better to have given his poor
widow the money than spent it for use
less flowers. This is an evil that should
be remedied.

THERE are two classes of lawyers in
England, II being called barristers,
the other attorneys. When a case is
to be tried the attorney who has taken
it from the client gets up the evidence
and prepares the papers in short, does
all the work necessary to bring it into
court. There the attorney retains a
barrister to conduct the case in court.
Hence, barristers rank higher than at
torneys. We often see the letters @. G.
written after the name of a barrister.
The title, queens counsel, for which
the letters stand, is an honorary one,
given to an eminent practitioner at the
bar. One possessing it is entitled to
e 8 silk gown. A queens counsel
can not act as junior counsel in a case,
and as he can not always be the leader
he sometimes finds his title an incon-
venience. The judges in England are
chosen from queens counsel.

The Head Wasn't Yet Dead.

Fireman Matthew Byo had an expe-
rience at Negaunee, Mich, that he
will not soon forget. A brakeman
named Thomas Higgins slipped be-
tween two freight cars on a moving
train. The signal to stop was given
by another brakeman, who saw the
fall, and the train stopped and backed
up to where Higgins lay. Five cars
had passed over his body, which was
frightfully mangled. The head was
completely severed from his trunk and
lay several feet from the track. Fire
man Byo picked up the head and was
horror stricken to see the eyelids close
and again open and partly close again.
This was seen by Engineer William
Whitney and the brakeman. Allthree
were badly frightened. This sign of
consciousness was given several min
utes after the head was severed from
tue body. The three witnesses are re-
liable, well known men.

much further to the south and eastward
than we imagine. Wien a~rtesian wells
are being bored in Edmunds, Faulk and

be carefully observed. Some surprises
may be in store. It may be found that
workable Ignite is not only nearer but of
better quality than we have thought"

How Pierre Took 1t,

A report from Pierre under date of the
day following election says: Pierre is the
capital of South Dakota, the latest reports
showing that the majority will be in excess
of the largest estimates made before the
election. and the people here realize their
success. No pen can describe the scene
here tonight. AS the passenger train
zane in at Z o'clock, having on board the
boomers and men from this city who have
been over the state urging on this success,
it was met by the band and the people.
Cheer after cheer rended the air, and
strong men grasped each other in their
arms and laughed and cried. Those who
have been foremost in the fight for Pierre
were carried around on the shoulders of
the populace, who paraded the streets in
the widest disorder. Women and children
joined the throng, and to one who did not
understand the intention it would seem as
if the people had gone mad. p. +. Nc
Clure, the defeated democratic candidate
for governor, who has been one of the
most diligent workers for Pierre, is being
hauled around in o carriage drawn by the
people, and John Sutherland, president of
the board of trade, is being carried around
on an %improvised platform. From present
appearances this scene will be kept up all
night, as each moment adds to the excite
ment. The enthusiasm of the crowd to
one who knows the history of Pierre, with
Its v~icissitudes, ups Ind downs and the
suffering of the people, the cause of the
intense feeling of joy can be understood
and appreciated.

An Early Summary

South Dakota's first state election de-
scended to a scramble for the capital loca-
ton. Theae has been no fight on any
thing else. Mellette is elected governor by
over 10000 majority, aud Picker and
Clifford go to congress. The republican
majority in the legislature will be at least
g., insuring the election of two republican
United States senators. The vote was
enormous, probably so, 1000, and the trade
and sale of ballots was based on the CAPT.
tai fight. For the capital, Pierre, Huron,
Watertown, Chamberlain, Sioux Falls
and Mitchell were entered. Reports re-
ceived at this writing indicate a vote, for
Pierre Of $4,000; Huron, $1,000; Sioux
Falls, 11,000; Watertown, 10000; Mitchell,
1000, and Chamberlain, 5000.
All ante election talk Of fraud proved
but wind, the election being very quiet,
and, so far as reported, no frauds were al
tempted and no fights permitted. Owing
to the great interest in the capital contest
but little attention was given to the mi
nority representation and it was defeated.
The fate of prohibition hangs in the bal
hnce. On q square fight it would probably
have carried, but votes on this question
were recklessly traded on the capital loca-
ton, and the vote will not fairly represent
the sentiment of the people of South
Dakota.
