Thousands of tourists, and among them
many art connoisseurs, have thoroughly
examined the bronze doors on the east
front OF the senate wing of the Capitol,
but it was reserved for a horny listed son
Of toll to discover n defect in these works
Of American artisans. These doors were
cast at C~hicopee, Mass, and are intended
to depict Genes in the early history of
the United States. Prominent in one of
the center panels, on the right hand side
of the entrance, is a figure on horseback
supposed to represent the Father of his
Country returning at the head of his vic
torious troops. He must have just
come out of pasture with his horse" re-
marked a stalwart granger after survey
ing the door intently, ''for he has no
stirrups; and just look, his legs dangle
in consequence" This criticism was
found to be true, and is the only draw
back to the enjoyment OF the spirited
scenes portrayed in bronze, for all the
other panels have generals properly
equipped if they happen to be on horse

There is no more delicious breakfast
thar an English muffin, served, as it
should be, hot, after being torn apart
and toasted. The broken surface must
be crisp and d~aintily brown. A dish Of
strawberries, q plate of toasted mullins,
with fresh eggs and coffee or a glass of
rich milk, will make a breakfast for an
epicure. An English muffin is, of course,
unfit for the table before it is toasted; by
the process of cooking it is not thoroughly
done in the center. When served as it
should be, split and toasted, it is justly
the pride of the English housewife

ROK 1HEY WRIGGLE.

Ii there is ANYTHING in this world which
will make a Cheyenne Republican vince
and wriggle it Is a dose OF his own medi.
cine, saws the Lander Motntdineer. The
cause OF this is perhaps due TO the fact
that through the Republican press he has
always considered himself privileged to
abuse aud deprecate everything Demo-
cratic, and until the last few years has
done so without being called to account
Last week the CHEYENNE LEADER pub
lished a special edition containing infor-
nation which the people Of the territory
should know, whereupon the Republicans
threw up their hands in horror. and the
editor of the San in n column editorial
gives rent to the pent up wrath within
him.
1t i'll becomes Mr.. Slack or any OF the
Cheyenne ring to say much on the sub.
ject Of special editions. If their memory
serves them. they will remember a GER
tain special edition OF the Sun filed with
v~illifying editorials concerning the Demo-
cratic candidates for congress, which the
Republicans did not have the manhood to
issue early in the campaign, but waited
until the day before election to get in
their dirty work.
1t seems to make a difference whose OF
is gored, and the specific edition. like the
objection of the pubcrnatorial nominees,
is very nauseating to the Republicans be-
III the dose was compounded on pre-
scriptions written by them for the
Democracy.

lhingman, kas., Democrntl
He sat at his door at MONDAY, lonely
and gloomy and sad, broodinK over the
price of his corn crop and figuring how
much he had. He had worked from
early s~pringtime. early and late and hard,
and be was counting his assets and 6gur'
ing out his reward. He figured that it
took two acres to buy bis two boys new
boots. and ten acres more on top OF this
TO fit them out with new suits. To buy
his wife a protected dress took 100
bushels more, while five acres went in a
solid lump for the carpet on the floor.
His tax and his grocery bill absorbed his
crop OF oats while the interest on
his farm mortgage took all
his latest shoats. The shingles
on his cowshed and the lumber for his
barn had eaten up his beef steers and the
balance of his corn. So he sat in his
door at MONDAY, lonely and gloomy and
sore, as he figured up his wealth a little
less than it was the year before. by
gum, they say I'm protected, but know
there's something wrong. I've been de-
ceived and gulled and hoodwinked by this
high protection song. They told Of re-
bellious traitors and held up the bloody
rag, and | followed along like a pump
kin, and now I'm holding the bag. But

to the bottom OF facts. and I'll bet a to

THE EVERYDAY DARLING


She Il neither a beauty nor genins,
And no one would call her wise;
In a crowd OF other women
She would draw no strangers eyes
Even we no love her are puzzled
To say where her preciousness lies
She Il just an everyday darling;
In that her -preciousness lies.
She is 81rry when others are sorry.
SO sreetly one likes TO be sad:
And II people around her are merry.
She Is almost gladder than glad.
Her sympathy is the sEiftesL
The truest "A heart ever had
She i Just an everyday darling,
The dearest that hearts eve had
Her hands arc so white and little,
It seems as II it were wrong
They should ever work for a moment
And yet they are quick and strong.
II any dear one needs helping.
BE- will work the whole day long;
The precious everyday darling,
Every day and all day long.
She Il loyal as knights were loyal,
In the days when no knights lied,
And for sake OF owe or Of honor,
IL II need be-, a true knight died;
And she dreams not she is Drawer
Than tho woman by her side,
This precious everyday darling.
Who makes sunshine at our side.
All, envy her, Beauty and Genius,
And women the world calls wise;
The utmost OF all your triumphs
Would be empty in her eyes.
CTo love and be loved is her kingdom);
In this her happiness lies.
Col bless her, the everyday darlingl
In this her -preciousness lies.

Jay Gould at the theatre always sits in
a box and takes an upper one if he can
get it. He is by no means a constant
theatregoer. He is retiring, and rarely
allows himself to be seen by the audi,
ence. He never %applauds, but occasion
ally becomes so interested in the play as
to emerge from his place of ~concealment
and crane his neck over the edge of the
box. When the exciting scene or strik-
ing tableau is over he seems to become
suddenly aware of his conspicuous posi-
ton, and quickly sinks into the back
ground.-ChiCago Herald.

We offer no apology for devo!ing so much
time and attention to this much neglected
class Of diseases, believing that no condition
OF humanity is too wretched to merit the sym
pathy and best ~servicez of the profession to
which We belong, as many are innocent suf-
ferers, and that the physician who devotes
himself to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less n
phllantrophtst and beneiactor TO his race than
the surgeon or physician who by close appll-
cation eScels in any other branch of his pro
fession. And, fortunately for humanity, the
day is dawning when the false phi ilantrophy
that condemned the victims of folly or crime,
IKE the lepers under the Jewish law to die
uncared for, has passed away.

District Court Notes.

Judge Rose will begin a term of court
in Fargo Monday next, holding the same
for Judge Mcconnell, who has been an
attorney in several of the suits to come
up for trial. The term will probably last
week. Among the cases set for trial is
the we'll known Bnttz-Colton suit that
has been in the newspapers and courts
for 10! these many years.
Judge Rose finished bis Barnes county
term last Wednesday and disposed of
much business. The adjustment of the
claim of Stutsman county for court
charges did not come before him, but
the same will probably be amlcably ad
justed without judicial hearing, and
District Attorney Frye's bill allowed, as
it ls deemed only just and fair to both
counties.
Judge Roses new chambers in the
rear of the court room are row about the
handsomest law offices in the state. They
open to the west, are lighted from high
windows, and handsomely furnished.
Tue judges large library will be very
convenient during the session of the
court, both for himself and attorneys. The
rooms are elegantly carpeted, and it will
repay the good citizen Of the district to
make call and see the court at his new
location. where cordial welcome at all
| times awaits visitors.
The judges next term, latter the special
Fargo session. will be the regular spring
term for this county, the date for which
has not been fixed.
Among the facts. of perhaps more
Importance ~ thu jud % than the public,
is the painfully undecided manner in
whicl. the Legislature is dealing with the
salaries of the judges of the state. Judge
Rose has not been able to get even a
warrant to pawn since last September.

Suddenly Insane.

Sheriff Schmitz was notified by tele-
graph by the conductor of west bound
passenger train Sunday morning, that a
insane man was aboard aud that officers
must be on hand at the trains arrival to
take the party in charge. The man SO
turned over by the train men had became
violently crazy while en- route from St.
Paul. His name is Gilbert Laberg. He
is middle aged, respectable looking
gentleman who had purchased ticket
to Washington, where his family resides,
at the town of Mt. Vernon. They have
been notified by mail of the whereabouts
of Mr.. Laberg, who was taken to the
asylum yesterday evening. His form of
mania seems to be fear that he is going
to be murdered or buried alive. While
riding TO the hospital yesterday in an
open sleigh, he madea desperate struggle
to escape and did succeed iu getting ont
of the sleigh, but WAS caught again and
induced to go on with his friendly escorts
to the asylum, where Dr.. Archibald soon
succeeded in quieting the excited and
unfortunate man. Hespeaks of incidents
that point to rongh treatment by sharp
ers while stopping temporarily at Chi
cago. He had little money on his person,
some extra blankets, clothing, trunk
checked through to destination, and
lunch enough to last him several days.

mortgages from the records was not en-
tirely fair. The old registers got the
fees for recording and the new man gets
nothing for his work. As to the regis
ter, his salary is now $1,000 year, pro-
vided the fees amount to that much. II
the fees fail to reach that mark, which in
depressed times like these they are likely
to do, then the register Is ont. 1T is
only right" said Mr.. Ashley. "that
ohattle mortgages should be released as
fast as satisfied. There are over 1000
chattel mortgages recorded on the books
Of the county, and not ovor ~ per cent Of
them have been released. Many, of
course, are outlawed. Farmers have
admitted that they prefer having &
mortgage remain,as it keeps off machin
men and other creditors often times. At
present fee of 25 cents IS charged for a
release. The Taxpayers Union took the
matter up and at their request Senator
Fuller got bill through the senate re-
qniring the release to be made for moth
ing on notification. The bill is still
pending. Another bill pending makes
the recording fee 40 cents and nothing
for release. There will be some change
in this practice no doubt, and it will be
beneficial one for the public"

'NinC Years III Dakota"

The Claremont, New Hampshire, ,Advo-
cate. has been received at this office,
which contains poetic gem under the
above caption. 1t is three columns in
length and Is divided into five chapters.
The signature is indistinctly printed and
cannot be deciphered with any more ac
cnracv than can some of the plainly
printed stanzas be unraveled and con-
verted into understandable English
Judge of the general tenor of the pro-
ductlon by this couplet:
For when all have left Dakota, save her arranl
fools and knaves,
They will be assessing taxes even on our child
ren's graves!''
Here is the way the high moral id ca
mortgage sharks, who are opposed to all
elements of chance from principle, are
sized up:
MAN must lie within the casket that his own
hand bIindly hews;
So the smiling money-lender sometime gets his
honest dues.
For it cant be law nor gospel, just because they
have you fast
Taking money three times over and then-take
your team at last.
"Inasmuch as ye have done it even to the least
tf these,
Will make many a grasping agent get tremb-
ling in his knees;
And when they with dOwncast faces, seek a seat
in heaven to rent,
They can't hire the smallest corner-though
they offer three per cent?"
The editor of the Advocate saves Eis
poetic contributor from the imputation
of criminal carelessness in dealing with
the truth, by stating that the three col
umns, five chapters, of stuff is intended
for South Dakota. The title is misiead-
ing and should be corrected in future
editions.
This is what the Advocate says: sour
readers must not overlook the poem ia
this weeks Issue under the above title. 1t
is we'll written, graphic, spirited, pictur.
esque, imaginative, and as interesting as
romance. The writer, formerly an AL
stead girl, in personal note, says that
she began the poem for the amusement
of herself aud neighbors, and finally de
cided to finish and send it east for publ
cation, as of course, no Dakota paper
would publish it. She AYERS that the
poem is true, 1.-The neighbors say the
truest thing ever written of Dakota"
1t is the most scathing thing We have
seen on that part of the west or north
west. We may add that the author
lives in Beadle county, which lies in
the eastern-central part of South Da-
kOta."

that another party named Corcoran
would do it for $3.50, and that
one, Barney J. McGee thought he could
do the business for $3.50. He bll that
amount and accordingly was awarded
the prize. Both Dillingham; and McGee

bidder, is reported to have said that If
any body had under bid him he would
