Tho Zani Game OF the Kicked Stick.
All is now ready: each rider has his
eye on his favorite side, an old priest
rides in advance and sprinkles sacred
meal over the course, the starters kick
the sticks and the widest excitement
prevails. AS each racer left his home he
put into his mouth two shell beads-the
one he drops as sacrifice as he starts,
the other when he has covered about one
half the course.
The stick is tossed rather than kicked,
and good racer will toss it from eighty
to hundred feet. Over the heads Of the
runners it goes and falls beyond the first
man. He simply points to where it lights
and runs on. The next man tries to kick
it, but should he fail to get under it he
goes on, and the next man takes it. The
race Is not to the swift alone, although
this has much to do with it. The stick
can in no case be touched with anything
but the foot, and should it fall into a
cactus bush. a prairie dog hole or an
arroyo much valuable time is lost in get
ting it out.
Not infrequently it happens that ono
side will be several miles in advance of
the other when the stick falls into some
unnoticed hole. The wild and frenzied
yelling which takes place as those who
were behind come up and pass can only
be imagined and not described. So skill
in tossing it plays appointment part. On.
on they go to the southern hills, east to
Ta-ai -yal-lo-ne, north to the mesas, fol-
low these west for miles, then to the
southern hills and back again to the
starting point.
The distance traversed is nearly twen-
ty-6ve miles, and they pass over it in
about two hours. Racing is INDUCED in
by the excited horsemen as they approach
the goal. and it is not unusual to see a
pony drop over dead from exhaustion as
they near the village. @. Owens in

The gondolier took the parchment and
looked at it with astonishment. He then
turned doubtfully toward Maria. but a
glance from her soft dark eyes reas-
sured him, and he set out ON his mission.
With folded arms and moody brow
the artist commenced pacing up and
down the large room in the hostelry.
casting at intervals scrutinizing glance
at the young girl, who. now penitent for
her intended crime, was silently praying
in IA corner. As for Gianettini, he seem
ed unable to shake off the strange ascen-
dancy gained over him by his unknown
visitor; his habitual effrontery failed
him. and for the first time in his life he
dared not break silence.
An hour passed. Then hasty, Joyous
steps were heard, and Antonio appeared
bearing in his hand bag and letter
The bag contained 600 pistoles. and the
letter was addressed to the artist and
prayed him to honor the senator with
visit.
''Take these coins and weigh them, =
said the unknown, as he threw the bag
toward Gianettini.
Antonio Barbarigo stood before his
benefactor pale and trembling with joy.
'fOne favor more" he said. "Who
are your
"What does it matter?"
What does it matter, say your" cried
the gondolier. "Much-much to me!
Tell me your name, that may love and
honor it to the last moment of my life"
"Men call me Michael Angelo. 1t is
my turn now," he said, Ito ask you
favor. 1t is to allow me to perpetuate
on canvas the lovely features of Maria :"
The girl approached. She could not
speak, but she clasped the painters
hand and raised it to her lips. A tear
fell on it, and Michael Angelo, as he
drew her back, turned away to conceal
his own emotions
Twenty years passed on and found
Antonio, the once humble gondolier, the
happy husband of Maria and general of
the Venetian republic. Yet his brilliant
position never rendered him unmindfui
of his early life, and his heartfelt graft
tude, as well as that of his wife, accom-
panied Michael Angelo Buonarrotti to
the end of his days.

SAVED, SAVED!
Judge Atwater Saves the Board of
Trade From Free Coinage Con-
tagiOn.

Judge Atwater Saves the Board of
Trade From Free Coinage Con-
tagion.
At the meeting Of the board of trade
yesterday morning Judge Atwater an
nounced that he thought the proposed
commercial congress of Western states
to be held at Kansas City in April. is
only scheme to give free coinage a
boom. He was led to this belief as
delegates to the congress must be mem
bers of the legislatures, which would
give the acts OF the congress a sort of
an official character. If a commercial
congress Is to be held, why should not
business men be eligible to attend it? He
noticed, too, that free coinage is the
leading topic OIL the list for dis cussiOn.
He therefore advised that the board Of
trade leave the proposed congress alone.
The judge was evidently quite pleased
with his detective-like Shrewdness. and
seemed 10 think he had saved the board
from exposure to the free coinage con-
taglon. The matter was accordingly
tabled.
j. T. Wyman reported that the Omaha

lengthy discussion as to whether steps
should be taken to induce the Milwau-
kee road to build a line through the
valley, and the matter was finally left
to a special committee.

DENIED THE BILL.
The Commissioners Refuse to Pay
the HeiIpern Expense Account.

oAO 1lc1pofn G4 DOHSc ACCOUNT.
The county commissioners started to
hold the usual prosy meeting yesterday,
but before it was over matters grew a
little lively. A bill of S554 had been
handed to County Attorney Than for
his o K, which he read before letting
pass, and saw that it was an expense
account for the return of George He'll
perm, the Columbia Mill boOkkeeper
from Texas, from where he had bee /
brought on requistion papers IRON
Ell Paso, Texas. Heretofore these
little bills have been allowed, but Mr..
THAN looked the matter up, and found
by the statutes that in such cas- IS the
expense became a burden for the STATE
to bear. He therefore laid the facts
before the board of commissioners, and
the gentlemen refused to allow it. Just
what will be done in the matter is not
known at present, but there may be
a little dispute between county and
state in the matter.
The county attorney was also asked to
proceed at once against all delinquent
personal property taxes by process of
law, and also TO draw up a bill to be pre-
sented to the legislature providing that
all judgments on personal property tax
suits shall become a lien against not
only the personal property, but also a
specific lien against the real estate of
the delinquent. Should this bill pass it
will revOlutioniZe matters in the per-
sonal property tax list.
The committee on ways and means
was ordered to proceed at once, with
power to act. against those people in the
county who are selling liquor without a
license. They will be pursued to the
bitter end, and made to close up their
places or take out the necessary licenses.
Bonds of the National Bank Of Com
merce were approved in the amount of
S450,000, the Swedish-American $500, 900
and the Irish-American $4,000 to cover
deposits. Bids were opened from bid
ders on the construction of the Mime
haha bridge, but no contracts made.

WAVED THE RED FLAG.
Celebrating the Paris Commune in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 16.-The Paris COM
mune anniversary was celebrated yes
terday in festal manner with speeches,
songs, dances and general rejoicing by
half-dozen nationalities of Chicago's
citizens. Exercises and balls were held
in various halls. Orators talked in al
most every modern tongue eulogistic of
the commune, aud the memory of it's
leading spirits was toasted in all parts
of the city. The celebration began on
Saturday night with closed doors
in d West side hall. The red flag
Of the commune was displayed
on the stage, and busts of
Spies and Lingg, the Haymarket an
archists, were draped with sashes of the
same Sangulnary color. The police re-
ceived an intimatiOn Of the fact and
compelled the removal of the emblems
after a riot had narrowly been ayerted.
This action by the authorities was de-
nounced in the various meetings yester-
day, and the episode threatens to cut
some figure IN the coming municipal
election.

PULPIT ECHOES.

The Methodist ministers yesterday
morning listened to review by Rev. J.
L. Stout of Edward ArnoId's Light of
the World" He regarded the work not
as critical presentation of the life and
times of the Messiah, but as poem,
and as poem it is a success. Rev. c.
NJ. Heard thought it was like tying rib
bOns to the sun to treat religious sub
jects in poetry. Rev. H. H. French
thought Arnold taught the doctrine of
restoration. and considered poetry a
help to inspiration. Finally Rev. r. n.
McKaig said sOlemnly:
"Our only hopeis III God and the sem
ate.''
This was understood to mean an allu-
sion to the patrol limits question, but no
one seemed to take the hint and start
another discussion, although such eX-
carnations as The senate is all right"
'We're not trying to do anything with
the house." and ut can't get through
the senate" were heard on all sides.
Several concluded also that Gov. Mer-
RAM is "all right"
The meeting of the Baptist ministers
also took on a literary turn by
the reading of a review of DR..
Ladd's What Is the Bible?'' 1t was
thought that errors Of judgment might
not be considered as necessarily detri-
mental to faith. Rev. NJ. +. Negus
thought DR.. Laid an undoubted hereto
Rev. q. L. Morrill, said if he believed
with Laid he would give up the pulpit,
and Rev. Sandell said he didn't think
DR.. Ladd with all his knowledge could
write as good Bible as we had now.
The Presbyterian pastors discussed a
very pertinent matter, the subject of
form for funeral services. Rev. J. S.
Black thought in the first place services
should be held in doors because of the
weather six months or more each year,
and in consequence there was no reason
why they shouldn't be held in church
or at the house the year round. He
was greatly opposed to a lavish display
Of flowers Oh the part of the rich, be-
cause those who could not afford to
purchase displays naturally wanted to
do as well as they could by their
dead when IL could not be afforded.
When the services were held at a
church or house the long string Of car
rIageS which escort the remains to the
grave were rendered unnecessary, thus
another expense was done away with.
Reference was made to tile forms OBJ
served in New York, Brooklyn and
other large cities. There the services
are always held at the church or house
at any convenient hour. The funeral
could take place at any hour of the
same day or during the following morn
ing, and was attended by immediate
relatives only. The general opinion, as
brought out by the discussion which
followed, was that funeral sermons
should be much briefer than is custom
airy, and where lengthy discourse
was desired it could be delivered the
following Sunday at the church.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CHARTER.
Argued in Committee and Re.
fePred to the Delegation.

The new Minneapolis charter is now be-
fore the committee on local legislation of the
senate, and it is evidently the intention of
Senator John Day Smith and several others
that it shall remain there. At the hearing
during the noon recess yesterday. Senator
March advocated the merits of the new docu-
ment, claiming that a more centralized city
government was demanded. The city coun-
Gil ought not to have the appointive power
The burning of the Lumber Exchange, in his
opinion, was due to the fact that politics had
been considered III appointing the chief
engineer.
Senator Smith was the next speaker. He
started the ball rolling at once, claiming that
the new charter was formulated for political
purposes. He declared no Republican was
in favor of it. He claimed that q gang of
politicians came over daily from Minneapo-
lis to urge its passage. de was willing it
should pass, provided it was afterwards sub
mitted 10 the people for adoption.
Senator Sanborn said that, in view of the
unanimity OF the Hennepin delegation. he
was inclined to allow the matter to be SET
tied there. f. G. Winston replied to Senator
Smith, and the discussion ended with the
agreement that the matter be referred TO the
Hennepin delegation when i. comes up
again.

ALL SORTS OF TAX.

Particularly the Graduated In
come Tax Discussed.
NJ. w. Meagher, of the Canadian
American club, of the Reciprocity
league, of Minneapolis. formerly of Can
ada (all parts, and of the Guaranty
Loan building, was advertised to speak
before the Single Tax league last night,
on the beauties of graduated income
tax. He did it. But he went further,
and discussed the whole field of
political economy, at the same
time "biffing" the single tax
theory few under the ear. MIR.
Meagher decided that political economy
is not an exact science and never will
be. He settled for all time the tariff
question by saying that protection is
necessary under certain conditions. He
summed up the single tax theory thus:
tits mosaic work of beautiful myths, al
Turing absurdities and giaring fsilacies 1t is
brutal in conception and unjust in execu-
ton.
Then followed his arguments. Some
of them were so glaringly inapt. so
foreign to the subject under discussion,
that it is useless to repeat them here.
Their insufficiency was patent to nom
believers in single tax. His main point
was that the single tax would initiate
| against the poor and against the rich.
As an illustration: Two men own adj
| joining lots in the business district.
Their lots are equal in value. They pay
