a Modern Tragedr.

Last spring Guido Alvarez sold bananas
IN Minneapolis. Those who knew Guido
thought him a guileless son of sunny
Italy, who was contented with the fate
which had led his footsteps to a city SO
near the land Of the midnight sun as
Minneapolis is. But in Gukio's heart.
albeit his face showed no signs of 1t,
glowed love for his native land which
could not be quenehed by the prospects
OF sliding down circular toboggan slide
during the winter carnival. And when
paper came TO him granting him par
don for crime which had made sunny
Italy too hot for him, he eagerly packed
up his worldly effects In a banianna
handkerchief, sold out his banana stand,
and left for the land Of statuary. Guido
and Barree had once loved the same
dainty, black-eyed opera singer. Barree
was tenor, Guido the bass. They quar-
relied, stilettos flashed, and Barre lay cold
upon the ground. Aus fair in love they
say, but the police thought that all's fair
IN pursuit OF murderers. The pardon
was a decoy. When Guido landed in
Italy the hand of the law touched him
on the shoulder and Guido will have to
stand trial This is romance murdered
in this prosaic age. The vendetta should
have sought out Guido. Then there
would have been a fitting end to the
man who loved in bass, killed in moon
light repented before bananas, and died
by the avenging hand.-0hiccgo Times.

That is the trouble with some people;
they have no time to wait for results.
Some women will take dose or so of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
expect to feel well Immediately. True,
some do find maryelously speedy effects
from its use, but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow
in their progress, and must be cured,
if at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use of the
"Favorite Prescription for q reasona-
BILE length of time will cure all those
chronic weaknesses, Irregularities and
distressing arrangements with which SO
many females are afflicted. But the

Medicinal Rings.

Medicinal rings were at one time very
seriously believed in. Physicians were
wont to wear finger rings in which some
stones were set, and these stones were
credited with the possession of many
virtues. Sometimes the patient was
simply touched with the ring; sometimes
he put it on his finger for awhile. Many
a patient has worn such ring to stop
hemorrhage. If the desired result fol-
lowed, the ring was unreservedly re
garded as the healing agent; if the cure
did not follow, We are told nothing
about it.

A BIG BOOM FOR BARABOO.
Its Importance as Railway Headquar.
ters to be Greatly Augmented.
1t viii be the End of all Passenger
and Freight Runs,
And the Shops Will Ultimately be
Enlarged.

BARABoo, Special Telegram, July 21-
! 1t leaked out here today, though the
knowledge has long been stored up In Off
clal heads here, that the Chicago Il North
western company Is contemplating some
changes of vast Importance to this city
The effects of what is in prospect are al
ready felt, though the place does
not appreciate their significance.
Reference is made to the purchase by Chi
cago parties recently or what is known as
the Remington farm, located on a sight
ly emInence IN the eastern suburbs of the
city, near MaXwell's dam, and overlook
ing the tOrtuous BarabOO river, as it
winds away toward the gulf. This
property, built up and beautifed
by Z. Z. Remington, who, IN his day, was
the ablest lawyer IN Sank county, is to be
plated and sold In town lots. Incl
dentally it may be mentioned that some of
the most remarkable lizard and bird
mounds IN the country are located on this
farm. Other land in the neighborhoou has
also been bought up and 1t, too, will
be plated. The men who have done the
buying are on the inside SO far as tips
from the railway managers are concerned
and are not investing their money with
out full understanding of the situation
and OF the fact that Their is probably a
handsome return IN the deal for them.
The cause fer this significant move
ment In real estate lies in the fact that the
Northwestern company intends to take
steps that will make Baraboo much more
Of d railway town even than it is at pres
ent. 1t has within the past few months
been made the end of all freight runs and
soon all passenger trains will change
crews here. Harvard is to be left out in
the cold, and all the railway life it
has will ultimately come to
this city. The passenger runs will be from
Chicago to Baraboo, and from Baraboo to
Winona. Now they are from Chicago to
Harvard, and Harvard to Elroy. Baraboo
will thus be made the great central train
and repair point between Winona and Chi
cago; great additions will in due
time be made to the round-house
and the repair shops, to which
end the Harvard and West Chicago shops
will be made to contribute. The railway
company, by lengthening its runs, will
considerably reduce its number of train
crews, nd be enabled by the change to
effect much economy in other direc.

GAVE SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE.
The Oil Company Sent Inf1amable Mate
rial Without Labelling IT,

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE inquest into the
cause of the death of the victims of the
steamer Tioga, last Friday, was begun to-
day Oil Inspector Grain, who has made
an examination of the contents of the oil
barrels in the hold. gave some sensational
evidence this afternoon. 1t is said
he found, upon examination, that
a large part of the cargo
consisted of barrels Of naphtha, and that
these were labeled simply Diamond B, -"
instead of being specifically marked. so
that any one could more readily learn
their contents, as required by law. The
coroner has notified the United States dis
trict attorney of these develop nents and
and that gentleman says he will look into
the matter thoroughly.
James Mccarthy, agent of the company
at Buffalo, said the Tioga had three hun
dred and twenty barrels Of supposed to be
refined oil shipped by the Genesee Oil
company. The line has rule against re-
ceivipg inhammable or explosive articles on
boats, but it had no inspector of oils and
depended on the good faith of the oil COM
pany.

COST OF CONTRASTING ELECTIONS.
Contestants For Seats Hand in Their Bills

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-All of
the contestants for seats in this congress
except Mr. Mudd, of Maryland, and Mr..
Pendleton, of West Virginia, have flied
with the house committee on elections
their bills of expenses. and in each case
but that of Cate, of Arkansas, the amount
exceeds $4,000; four exceed
$4,000, and Anderson, of West Vir-
ginia, brought in bill of S.. 483; Langston
of Virginia, S5,305; Venable of Virginia.
S5.555; Atkinson of West Virginia.
s., 969; Goodrich of Alabama. s.. 265; and
Chalmers of Mississippi, $500.
The statute limits the allowance to
So 00 and the elections committee has
recommended the appropriation of that
sum to each of the claimants whose
bills are equal to or greater than
that sum. Mr.. Cate, of Arkan-
sas claims 10 have expended 81 ,089. and
that amount is allowed him. The com
mittee has also allowed to the contestees in
the even contests which were begun, but
subsequently abandoned the amount of
their bills of expenses, ranging from 1885
to $4,000. No allowance has been made
IN the case of John Baker against Forman,
because no bill has been filed.

4 MOURNFUL SCENE.
Twenty -four More Bodies Came to the Sur.
face Yesterday.

RED WING, July 16.-The doleful toll
ing of the church bells is still to be heard
in this city, today. The list of recovered
dead from the disaster having been greatly
increased since yesterday. Eight bodies
were brought up this morning. In the
afternoon sixteen more were brought up,
and one was sent over to Lake City, and
tonight another boat load arrived
This swells the list of recovered dead to
100 and it is thought that about dozen
bodies still lie in the lake.
The scene at the lake shore, the disaster
having occurred two miles this side of
Lake City, in Gocdhue county, is sad
one When the first bodies were recover
ed Sunday night ana Monday morning.
the faces were calm and peaceful and
showed little or no signs of having come
to a sudden DEATH Not so with those
found last night and today. All these
were bloated and blackened beyond
recognition so that the clothing, and
jewelry and papers were the only
way for friends to claim their dead. The
warm weather and the shallowness of the
water. together with the fact that several
big steamers sent up heavy swels today,
as they passed up the river brought the
bodies to the surface very quickly. Patrol
ling row boats towed the bodies ashore,
where they were identified as soon as pos
sible, boxed and shipped to this city.
Engineer Sparks, of the Sea Wing, to-
night entered an emphatic denial Of the
report that he, the captain, or any of the
crew had been drinking. The friends of
Sparks and Capt. Wethren, are also in
dignat ant the charge of drunkenness. The
reported arrest of Capt. Wethern is not
false. A man who came tonight from
Diamond Bluffs, where the captain home
is situated, says the sheriff took Wethern
to St. Paul this afternoon. having ar
rested him at the instance of United States
