NEW STORIES OF SIBERIAN PRISON
HORRORS.

A ConsumptIve Woman Taken from Her
Bed and Carried Hundreds OF Miles In ~
Sledgc In Midwlnter-The Victim Ex-
pires Before Reaching Her Destination.
London cable: Recent reports OF
outrages IN prisons of Siberia have had
the effect OF increasing the severity
with which the national prisoners are
treated, for to them the reports are at
tributed.
gentleman who has just returned
from Siberia brings the report OF an
other horrible outrage, OF which he says
he was an eyewitness. 1t took place in
the prison at Kara, where the previous
outragcs occurred which have aroused
Europe. In this case the victim was
also woman. The governor visited
the prison, found her among those
suspected of having given information,
and ordered her instant removal to
Virkniondusk. The poor creature was
wasted by consumption and unable TO
rise from her bed. BY the orders OF the
Governor she was dragged, half-naked,
by the soldiers into the courtyard of the
prison, thrust into a sledge, and driven
off at gallop in the dead of winter.
The woman died before arriving at
her destination. A demand has been
made for the removal OF Inspector Be-
droiskey for waDtOnly shooting political
prisoners under convoy.

Under False PretenSeS.

In q pine forest not far from Arka-
delphia, Ark, there is a narrow-gauge
railroad, built for the purpose of haul
ing logs to sawmill; but recently il
was chartered as highway for the
transportation of freight and passen-
ers. The other day a man was seen
walking over this road in the direction
of the Iron Mountain Railway. and
shortly after he had reached the station,
q dummy engine, pulling rusty coach,
rolled up. The conductor, who was
the engineer, fireman, brakeman,
freight agent and general superintend.
ent, jumped off the engine and ap-
reaching the man that had just walk
ed over, angrily exclaimed:
What do you mean by acting the
way you did?"
II don't understand you," the MAJ
retorted. "What do you mean?"
"You know very we'll what 1 mean.
Wasn't you back at Olney, our east
ern termiuus?"
ayes, of course was"
"And didn't you ask mo how long be-
fore the train started for this place?"
"Yes, but what are you driving at?"
"Oh, you'll find out. Didn't you
hold out the belief that you were going
to ride on my train?"
ayes, probably, and I thought ]
would, but as you were not going to
start soon enough to suit me, why,
walked"
"Ah, but we started o few moments
after YOU did"
THAT may be, but l beat you in"
"Ah, hah, and that, too, after Great
ing the impression that ynu were going
to ride with me. What right have you
to come around here setting that bad
example? Don't You know that if the
people IN this neighborhood see you
acting that way they will give my

you expect a railway to make expenses
Under such circumstances 2"

that your timetable didn't suit me-,

moreover, saved twenty-five cents"
"Oh, You saved twenty-five cents,

She never knew how tempted he had
been 10 let his brother-the man who had
robbed him of his lifes happ!ness-look
out for himself.
The tempter whispered, Let him go,
and il anything happens you re not to
blame; then Kit will be a." But, OF
course, he turned his back at this juno
tuie each time; but the struggle had been
q desperate one.
He was with Grant in the Wilderness
and all through the disastrous overland
campaign. He was with him until sent
under Sheridan to Five Forks, where he
was severely wounded, but to him there
was never such another battle as the one
fought with himself during that mad walk
under the gray November skies.
Neil is wounded and / must go to
him, Mark exclaimed in deepest anguish
as he read ito name. -Oh, Kittie, what
if he diesl never can stand it.
Before the sun went down that day he
had kissed his wife. boys aud infant
daughter Nellie good-by and was on his
way to his brothers side.
The meeting between them was affect
ing in the extreme. but Neil was by far
most CO nposed of the two.
I've got to go, Mark. but IL Is no mat

Before the end came, he seemed to real

"Havent time this morning. Mark.
Give my respects to Mrs. Weidman. !
may be in again before leaving" His
hand was on the latch.
please, Neil, come here"
1t was Kits pleading tones, and before
he realized what he was doing the young
man stood by the bedside looking down
into the face of the one woman he had
loved. 1t was five years since she had
told him she was going to marry Mark,
aud in all that time they had never spo-
ken-had rarely met.
'oh, Neil, you are too good-you can
not mean it.
Il mean it, he said, coldly.
Through it all he had never suffered as
he did now, to ses how willing she was to
have him sacrifice himself for Mark.
1t was moment of supreme bitter
ness, yet in spite OF himself he fingered
10 gaze for perhaps the last time into the
sweet face.
Her eyes were full OF tears, and catch
ing his hand she passed 1t to her lips,
sobbing:
you are SO good, so noble! If it were
not for the children we could not consent
to your going.
IF only we could raise the money but
we have little to sell and there is no one
to buy what we have.
Il have made up my mind and should
go anyway, now. There is nothing to
keep me-"
but Neil, this is too much" said
Mark, who had now sufficiently recovered
himself to comprehend the situation. Il
cannot let you CO. but IL you could look
after things here some aud see that Kit
did not suffer, could 90 easier. There
is only Joe to do anything"
NO use talking, Mark, am going; and
now, good-by all.
He almost snatched his hand from
Kits clasp, and was gone.
"Mollie I am poinp to tha war

be spared but 1 could not raise fifty
dollars, much less three hundred" His
voice broke a little.
We'll, came to tell you will go in
your place. Good-by."
"Neiil"
Mark sprang forward grasping his
brother by the arm aud fairly dragging
him inside.
There, don't make any fuss about it, :"
muttered the young man. You can't be
spared-I can. It will make no difference
to any one whether live or die"
Mark had bowed his head on his hands
and was shaking with emotion. Kits
voice from the other room called feebly
TO know what the matter was. Mrs. Bell,
her mother, had gone home for q few
hours, taking the little boys with her.
Springing up ngain, Mark opened wide
the middle door, saying: 1T is Neil,
Kite, and he Offers TO be my substitute.

jected on account of deafness.
Il bet IL 1 WIS him I'd enlist first
chance now nd get my money back, he
continued.
Everybody amt so fond of dollar,
nor so itchen fer a fight AZ you be, " re-
sponded his wife, in the shrill treble she
always used in addressing him.
Il amt no coward, none Of the Moselys
be" he ret etorted.
Neither be the Weidmans, Dick Nose
ly, but they've got sense enough to look
out fer number one. They amt dirt
poor"
Neil, lying at full length on his couch
in the loft, smiled grimly at their alterca-
ton.
Dick amt fit to manage here, but
don't care" he muttered; then turning
his face to the wall. he slept through
sheer mental and physical fatigue.
When he awoke it was growing dusk
and Mollie was calling 10 know IL he
were sick, or why he did not go out to at
tend to his part of the chores" rs usual.
No sooner was breakfast over the fol-
lowing morning than he buttoned his
coat about him and started off.
Some way, Neil ac's awful queer, "
shrieked Mollie to her husband.
Does he2"
Does her" she muttered, turning away
in disgust How stupid men are, any
way. Mark ain't, though, and Neil didn't
use to be-"
1t had been terrible night at Mark
Weidmans.
Kits mother lad been summoned, but
vainly she tried to think of something
comforting to say. The outlook was
dark.
Kit might. in fact would have to stay
there in their little cabin home with her
little ones. There was no room for her

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Judge Hindman Charges Grand Jury
to Indict All Dealers.


Nevada, Iowa, dispatch: At the
opening of court Judge Hindman, in
his charge to the grand jury,
gave the original package busi-
ness black eye in this Sec
tion. He charged them that notwith-
standing the late decision Of the United
States Supreme court no person
has right in this State to keep place
for the sale of intoxicating liquors OF
any kind, either in original packages
or otherwise, and said IL was
the sworn duty OF the jurors to
report to the court by Indictment
any person engaged in the keeping Of
such place, without regard to where
such liquors came from. He takes the
ground that the State has the inherent
right to prohibit and abate nuisances and
punish persons engaged in maintaining a
nuisance within its borders and that the
question of Interstate commerce has
nothing to do with it. That the keep
ing of place for the sale of liquors as a
beverage is nuisance, whether dealt
out in original package or some other
way, and that the late decision is not in
conflict with this view.

LINCOLN PARK.

One of the Popular Pleasure Resorts of the
State.
Mine Host O'Neil, of the O'Neil hotel at
Garrison, will formally open Lincoln Park
tomorrow with d grand picnic under the
auspices of the Railroad Union of Montana.
About 1900 of the fraternity are expected
to be present and enjoy themselves in the
shades of Lincoln Park. A prettier or more
suitable place than Lincoln Park could not
have been chosen by the union, and it is
designed to soon become one of the leading
pleasure resorts of the state. In its situa-
ton and natural advantages it is unsur-
passed by any other resort of the kind
easy of access either from Helena or Butte.
it will become the Sunday picnic ground
for these places. Nature has given it
plenty of shade and water and it requires
but the hand of art to add the finishing
touches. One may walk all day in the
shady paths and never meet the same party
twice. Rustic seats in shady hooks invite
one to occupancy while swings, turning
poles, etc., are distributed throughout the
park. A large hall furnished with an organ
and piano designed for social purposes Is
one Of the leading features.
Mr.. O'Neil is now working on an artificial
lake which, when completed, will be about
one mile long by one-eighth in width and
will add much to the beauty of the place.
Mr., O'Neil is no novice in the business, he
having first brought Lake Wilder into
prominence as a resort. Under his efficient
management the place is bound to become
popular.

SEALSKIN YEAR.

This is the year to buy seal
skins, as the time is not tar dis
tant when seals, like buffalo, will
be extinct.
The catch this year in Alaska
will fall far below all expecta-
tons, as only twenty thousand
out of the allowance OF sixty
thousand are now imported. The
market will soon be cleaned out,
and at greatly advanced prices,as
there are no skins for sale in the
hands of the importers.
MIR. Babcock has just returned
from New York where he has
been purchasing fur goods. He
has the greatest stock OF Fur
Capes, Jackets, Coats, etc, ever
shown in the west. All seal
goods will advance very decided
ly later in season. AS Mr.. Bah
cock was fortunately in the mar
ket before the advance, he Sc.
cured these gooes very cheap
and ladies can save money by
purchasing early. The styles
are particularly elegant, and tit
are faultless in seal garments ant
capes. Goods will soon be ready
and we invite your attention
Early selections are best.
