Custer couaiy and candidate for the
clerkship Of the district court, re-
turned from his electioneering trip
yesterday after an absence OF ten days
from judicial duty. The law provides
that when the probate judge IL thus
absent from his duties, he shall forfeit
the sum Of IS % per day. Five times
ten ia fifty. Thus Custer county is
prospectively $50 better off through
Judge Schwartz trip than IL would
have been II he had stayed at home.
The taxpayers enjoy .his sort OF thing.
They like t. see the men who are
drawing paw from the county for per-
forming official services, cavortIng
over the length and breadth Of the
county, soliciting votes for q re-elec-
tion. In the csse Of the probate Judge,
II Is . small matter that q man should
ride one hundred and fifty miles to the
county seat to procure . marriage
license and find when he gets here
that the proper official is absent on an
electioneeriDg trip and ifhe wants his
license he must take II from the hands
OF . deputy whose authority to act is
doubtful 10 the extreme. But this is
the style of the democratic office
holder. There has not been a day
since the campaign opened that there
was not som. one Of them absent from
his post Of duty aud yesterday there
were two. It rests with the voters 10
say whether they will endorse such
shameless and open neglect Of duty by
their votes. We hope to have them
repudiste il on October lst.

founded for the industrial training Of
boys, and but few Gf any exclusively
for girls, that he would establish an
industrial college for girls, in which
they should be instructed and trained
in such way as to help them 10 en-
ployment and occupations in which
they could earn liberal living. Ac-
commodations and facilities for hous-
ing, boarding and training about 200
girls were 10 be furnished, and 10 this
end land and buildings were purchas
ed at Wayne, and architectural plans
were prepared by competent archi-
tects. In addition 10 the girls who
were TO be thus boarded and instructed,
il was thought that the contemplated
institution might accommodate about
four or five hundred more girls. who
could get 10 the school during the
day, get their luncheon here. and get
back 10 their own homes in the even
ing.
After more mature celebration it
was found that this scheme had sew
eral drawbacks, the che Of which
was the withdrawal Of the girls from
home influence. There we're other
strong considerations, bu, that was
the principal one, together with the
belief that the sphere OF usefulness Of
such an institution might De greatly
enlarged by the adoption Of another
plan, abandoning the idea OF bosrding
the girls, and establishing The insti-
tute within the city limits
II is now the purpose of Mr. Drexel
to provide funds 10 purchase land and
construct buildings, and for the main
tenance Of "a full corps Of instructors
for an industrial institute for Young
women and young men. thai will ac-
commodate for their instruction and
training, as many as thousand girls
in the day time and thousand boys
at night"
The facilities and instructions TO be
provided for this school are 10 be free
Of any and all cost TO its Students for
ever; that is, so far as the provision OF
ample funds and business foresight
can assure. The working operations
Of the college will be probably
somewhat similar TO those OF
the Cooper institute in New
York. A large lecture hall. ca
pable Of seating at least 700 persons
and an extensive reading room. pro-
vided with all the useful, technical
and other books and appropriate peri
odicals and newspapers Of the day,
will be features Of the plan.
To The Ledger it appears that this
modified and greatly enlarged scheme
is much preferable TO the original de-
sign, not only because il will freely
open the doors of the DreXe institute
to 50 many more students. but because
the administration Of il will be sim
pier and much more manageable. Ii
will, of course, cost much larger
amount Of money, as an annual in
come Of from $4,000 Ia $500 may
be required for the college, IN addition
TO the cost Of the land and buildings.
In all. Mr.. DreXel expects the founda-
ton, lands and buildings and eBdow-

Horses Have Heart Disease.

Horsemen in Kent county are pux-
zled in regard 10 the appearance OF a
peculiar and fatal disease among
horses. The closest investigation so
far has failed 10 give any satisfactory
solution 10 the trouble, and The only
hypothesis is that from some unac-
countable cause the horses affected
have died from heart disease. The
animals apparently well drop. aud in
some cases are dead almost instantly.
A horse belonging TO Josiah Massey,
a farmer living near Chestertown.
while being bridled few DAYS ago for
use on the farm, fell dead, as did an
other belonging to Henry Masssy.
The horse was quietly grazing In the
pasture when Mr.. Massey passed near
him and waved his hand TO make him
move. The animal raised his head
and started 10 walk OF and fell dead
IN his tracks. In the cases mentioned
the horses were apparently well up 20
the moment Of death. eating heartily
and showing no signs Of sickness.
Whether or not the disease is conta-
gious II is impossible 10 say, as all in-
vestigation has failed 10 furnish any
satisfactory knowledge Of the nature
Of the trouble. .-Chestertown (Md.)

In Iceland, that country of gentle,
primitive customs, from time immemo-
rial it has been the fashion to present to
lad or lassie. when the first baby tooth
appeared, a lamb to be his or her very
own, cared for and tended as no other
pet could be, and neve to be parted
with.
There comes to us in a pretty story
concerning the ways and manners OF
that sturdy, truth loving and warm
hearted people account of such an offer
ing TO the bailiff's son. A winsome, soft
eyed creature was Botna, the queen of
the lamb flock. The pet grew apace, as
did the frolicsome owner, and when he
was 10 years old, a hardy shepherd lad,
Botna had become old, toothless and
lame. She could no longer go away TO
pasture with the herd, or eat her fill of
grass, v in the pleasant midsummer
weather. Her faithful young master
was, however, mindful of Botna's needs.
He had not forgotten that every year she
had given him a little lamb, and in her
old age n corner was given to her in the
family living room, where she could see
familiar faces and hear the voices of her
best friends. Many times a day she was
fed from n bottle, and was never taken
out for fresh air unless the day was mild
and the air balmy. Fortunate Botnal-

PROSECUTING AN OFFICER.

PROSECUTING AN OFFICER.
The trial Of Col Fletcher. OF the Sec
onl infantry, at Omlha, Is little short Of
a disgrace to the whole army. The charge
against him is that OF accusing his wife Of
too great intimacy with the officers of the
garrison and an attempt is made to dis
tort this so as to put Col. Fletcher in the
attitude of suggesting criminal intimacy.
Personally Col. Fletcher is a very pleas
ant gentleman. He came out Of the war
brevctted a lieutenant colonel and in 1885
again reached the rank OF lieutenant colo
mel and was assigned to the Second in
fantry. Col Fletcher's personal charac-
ter is above reproach. As a command
ing officer the only criticism that can be
made upon him is his timidity and a su-
persensitive anxiety to avoid notoriety.
A few years ago he married n Philadel-
phia widow with two children. Mrs.
Fletcher %sister,a Mrs. MacFarlane came
to live at the ~colonel's house and from
that time the trouble dates. Mrs. Mac
Farlane seems to have been sort of
busy body, with a long and very sharp
tongue. Apparently she managed the
household. Several officers of the garri
son had the freedom OF the colonel's
quarters. One night the colonel at
tended a meeting OF the Loyal Legion in
Omaha. He returned late and found
Capt. Dempsey sitting up with Mrs.
Fletcher attending the wants of Mrs.
Fletcher's sick child. The colonel
thought if there was anything of that
sort to be done in his own house he was
the man to do it. The following morn
lug he said as much to his wife and sug
gested that they talk it over. Mrs. Mac
Farlane at once called in Capt. Dempsey
on the plea hat the colonel was traducing
her sister and the captain caught the
colonel, who was then commandNnt of the
post, by the coat collar and shook him
vigorously.
Instead of placing Dempsey in arrest,
as should have been done. the colonel was
still conciliatory. His wife and sister in
law were to leave the following day for
Philadelphia and in the morbid fear that
his family affairs would be spread before
the world. he simply lett his house and
did nothing. Then was concocted the
scheme to disgrace him and have him dis
missed from the army.
Fletcher is an old man and his record
shows him IN have been n gallant soldier,

Well, very seldom. An old time

pick the lock on the cuff of the other.
Here is a form of cuff to prevent this.
You see between the cuffs instead of
the ordinary link is q steel bar about
twelve inches long which effectually
keeps the hands apart. Some time ago

CONSTIrnrION MIXING.

The Chicago Herald in an article on
the subject Of constitution making makes
some suggestions which our own consti
l%utiOnal convention might take into con
sideration.
$50 far as reports inform us, y it says,
"all the conventions have departed from
their true vocation OF constitution max
ing aud ha ye considered it their business
to l~egislate for the people. One of the
wisest OF our constitutional lawyers,
Judge Cooley, delivered an address be-
fore the North Dakota convention IN
which he advised them in substance to
leave legislation to the legislature. Ut
terly regardless of this sound advice, that
convention under the lead of the Far
mer's Alliance has leglslated more than
any other of the conventions.
The proper Office of a constitutional
convention is to frame a fundamental and
general law, with such limitations only on
the different branches of government as
shall protect liberty and secure the rights
of every citizen. All other matters are
more properly within the province of the
Legislature.
Questions like those of internal i'm
p~rovements, prohibition, salaries of off
cials, and location of state institutions can
be better treated by the legislature than
by a convention, for they involve ques-
tons of policy which must change from
time to time. and legislation can be more
easily modified or repealed than constitu-
tional provisions. The idea of these re-
strictions, Of course. is that legislatures
are sometimes venal, and can be infu-
eDced against the interests of the people.
Even if this were so the best remedy is to
leave the matter with the people, but leg
islatures are quite as apt to be honest as
constitutional conventions"
