NEW YORK. May 2S.-Four more vic
tins of awful dynamite explosion at
Tarrytown on Tuesday of last week have
been found. All information about
them, even the fact that they were among
the injured, had been carefully with
held. The men, who are badly injured
are all Italians and residents of New
York city. 1t is alleged the railroad
company is depending upon these men
for important testimony in its interest.

A Topeka View of the Original Package
Decision.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 2S.-The Prohi-
bition leaders are delighted at the result
of the supreme court decision in the
original package case, holding the Will
son bill constitutional. County Attor-
ney Welch, who had dropped his prose
cutions of the men charged with contin-
uing to sell liquor after the passage of
the Wilson bill, will now continue and
the war will be waged with enthusiasm
and determination. 1t is difficult to tell
the political effect of the decision.
Secretary of State Higgins said that
he hoped the question would now bt
taken out Of politics. 1T is no longer
political question" said he, 'and the d,
cision of the highest tribunal in the land
settles the matter 50 far as the approach
ing campaign is concerned" Many of
the Democratic and Republican leader
have become sick and tired of a cam
paign over local issue, and since the
People'ssparty has ignored the question
altogether it will give the new party a
distinct advantage in the approaching
campaign if the old parties divide on the
liOuOr question,

NEW SORT OF PUNISHMENT.

Girls Given HypOdermic injections Tor

LANSING, Mich, May 29.-A dis
closure of grave abuses at the Adrian
industrial home for girls will be made
to the senate in the report of commit
tee sent to investigate the affairs of the
school. Miss Scott, the superintendent,
has had a reputation for being arbitrary,
but the sensational report will submit
evidence of a nature bordering on the
revolving.
The committee denounces the methods
of punishment as unnecessary, unwar-
rantable and cruel in the extreme. For
instance, girls who are boisterous are
compelled to submit to hypodermic in
jections of some fluid, the nature of
which is unknown to the persons giving
the injections. Girls have been confined
for twenty days and nights in a dark
cell, with no furniture, on bread and
water. Gross carelessness and negligence
also are proven. The committee recon-
mends general shaking up in the
management, and that married couple
be placed in control of the institution

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The treasury

supposed he would be able to pay the
entire loan at maturity, but that he did
not want to tax the treasury to that ex-
tent if he could possibly avoid it. He
said that the bonds if extended would
be, of course, subject to call, but he ad-
ded, with smile, that he did not think
many would be called in during q p first

HURON, s. Oak, May 2S.-Nine corn
ties in North and twenty-three counties
in South Dakota are mentioned in the
crop bulletin issued from the United
States signal Office in this city for the
week ending May 23. These reports are
quite encouraging.
In nearly every county from light to
heavy rains have fallen; only few
counties report rain greatly needed, and
none say crops are suffering for it.
Wheat has made rapid progress, as has
also barley and oats. The weather has
been too cold for corn, but that Is re-

in good condition, and potatoes are said
to be doing nicely. There is less COM

Japanese Cabinet Changes.

The Official Gazette notes quite a
number of changes and elevations in the
ranks of japanese peers. Count Yoshii
the privy counselor. died April 90 from
a paralytic stroke. The emperor, it is
stated. has had conference with Count
Ito, on April 27, with reference to the
resignation of Count Ymagata and the
formation of new cabinet. 1t is under
stood that Count Ito persisted in his de-
clination to form a cabinet. While the
idea prevails that Count Saigo will ac-
cept the responsibility, certain japanese
papers state that he would not remain in
the cabinet should Ymagata retire, and
that in this event Count Matsulata alone
would be eligible.

Bret Harte's Clever Parable.

In one of Bret Harte's clever parodies
of the French, he tells q story in words
something like these: Three gamins were
playing in the streets of Paris. a priest
passed by. "'There goes a priest, cried
one; s'look out for your eggs and, your
ch1ckensl" Then the priest, hearing the
words, knelt down and prayed for the
boys. But, upon reflection, he was con-
WINGED that it was not the fault Of the
boys, but their parents. He knelt down
the second time and prayed for the boys
parents. On another thought he saw that
it was not the fault of the boys parents,
but of society. He knelt down again
and prayed for society. As he roseSfrom
his prayer, he said to himself: s'My
friend, who is society7 You andaare
society" So he knelt down theslast time
and prayed for himself.-AsgonasA

The Indian Witch Dance.

The Indian witch, or medicine dance,
is very different from the performances
before described. It is really a weird
affair, and almost as difficult to witness
as the celebrations hat New England
witches were said to indulge in in the
olden time. It must have some religious
meaning, although the writer was nev
able to get exactly at what the meaning
was. The medicine men of the Sioux do
not seek publicity in their incantations,
and it was entirely by chance that /
came across three Indians going through
some peculiar operations, at a point re-
mote from their camp. A stick about
three feet in height was stuck in the
ground, and from 1t hung out in the
breeze a long-haired scalp. The hair
was dark, and looking on from a short
distance I could not tell whether the
scalp was that Of a white woman OF an
Indian. Itmight have been either. The
three Indians were leaping and gesturing
and at intervals mumbling something,
not a song apparently, but disconnected
words. Occasionally they would point
toward the scalp. Then they would
mamble again and jump about. They
were not painted, and their attire was
different from that of the ordinary
braves. They noticed me, and, whils
they made no demonstration of hostility,
their expression meant plainly that they
would rather be left alone. The shades
of evening were falling on prairie and
hill and river. The Missouri stretched
like d mighty serpent below, its yellow
waters ~tinctured with aruddy stain by |
the final CLEAN of the setting sun, and
here On this hill, away from the painted
tents and the silent cottonwood, these
children Of nature were enacting their
~enchantment to move in some
way that supernatural power which
seemed to have deserted the Indian race.
With eerie feelings I Withdrew, leaving
them to their superstitution, and
that perhaps its parallel might
be found among more enlightened
nations Chicago Herald.
