when D. r. Bard's orchestra took their
places upon the stage and about one
hundred and twenty five couples marched
into the hall, and then the merry dancing
began and continued until the wee sma'
hours, when the guests began to take
their departure for their homes, and the
general verdict seemed to be a good

indicates large increase of membership

They Can Spot Them.

The experienced hotel clerks claim
they can tell bridal couple by the way
they register. Old married people gen
orally stick to the old formula, 'sJohn
Smith and wife," which the husband
dashes off on the book without hesita-
ton. A newly made groom seldom
writes 'sJohn Smith and wife, He
takes the pen, and, after carefully test
ing the point, writes slowly and DELHI
erately, ''Mr. and Mrs. John Smith. %
Then he bushes profoundly, but con-
templates his work with pride. Once
In awhile, however, a guest comes in
who makes some embarrassing mis-
take. Such a one was the man who
sided up to the desk of the Bartholdi
hotel one day recently and in a large
round handwriting inscribed on the reg
lister the words: William Dash and
bride. .

The Wateryiile Hlbernians.

The A. O. IT,, Division No. 4, of LIE
Sueur County, celebrated the first ami
versary of its organization here, Thurs
day the 18th inst, in a manner that will
be cherished in the memory of every
member of the Division. Nearly 100
Hihernians responded to invitations
sent out to the neighboring Divisions.
At IL 80 p. m. the members of Division
No. i donned their regalia and carrying
the stars and stripes, headed by the
Wateryille band, marched to the depot
to receive their guests. Upon the ar
rival OF the train from the East and
North, the white plumes and green
sashes commenced TO pour ont, and
formed in line in the following order:
Waterville band; Division No. /, of ST.
Thomas, lie Sueur county; Division No.
2, Montgomery, lie Sueur county; Divi-
sion No. l, Faribault, Rice county; Divi-
sion No. 4, Waterville. The procession
m arched to the opera house, where re-
freshments were served and the guests
entertained until about $3.50, when the
procession again formed in line and
marched to the depot to meet those COM
ing from West aud South. 1t was then
that the procession was swelled to it's
greatest magnitude by the addition of
Division No. l, of Mankato, Blue Earth

wish to state that there was noticeable
contrast in the green plumes of the Wa
SEGA Division with the white ones of the
other Divisions, to say nothing OF the
stately figures they adorned. The pro-
cession marched back to the opera house
where our popular president, DR.. G. =.

livered the address of welcome, and al
though the DR.. makes no pretensions OF

upon this occasion. Seated upon the

An Arizona Judge.

At county election in Arizona a
well known worthless fellow was put
up in fun for election as judge. He
was made gloriously drunk early in
the day, and his opponent anticipated
an easy victory, but when the votes
were counted it was found that the
drunken candidate had swept the
field. Everyone had been voting fol-
him for fun, and the fun turned out to
the good fortune of the drunkard.
When he learned of his election he got
drunken than ever, and stayed SO al
the time he was judge.

In an Elevator.

cit is BEST says a Toledo physician.
''to ride up in an elevator, and, when
coming down, to take the stairs. Like
going up hill, walking upstairs is hard
work, and sometimes risky, especially
for people with weak lungs, defective
respiratory organs or heart disease.
But going downstairs hurts nobody, but
is good exercise; goingdown on a brisk
run is really good thing-it shakes up
the anatomy without mourning the dan"
ger of physical over-exertion; this
shaking up is good for ones internal
mechanism, which it accelerates, es-
pecially the liver, the kidneys and tn,
blood circulation"

loyal, fond of noise and movement, and
frequently of versatile and change

Ben and the Bible.

During the recent examination of Deputy Marshal Breedlove at Los Angeles, an incident occurred that was amusing and at the same time full of sense. Ben Goodrich was de. lending the prisoner. The public had been wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement over the killing of Sail- or Brown of the Charleston by Breed love and his assistants. The court room was crowded and petitions were sent to the judge asking for speedy and swift justice. to satisfy the clam or oi the outraged people.
 The judge was inclined to grant the request of the public and not admit the prisoner to bail, or to put it at an amount that he could not raise.
 This aroused Ben who arose and said: "I submit, your honor, that the court IS not expected to keep its fin ger on the public pulse and to govern it's action according to the beating of that pulse. If so, we might now de- stroy our written laws and tear down our archives of justice. What is this public? It is but collection of indi- viduals, of human beings possessed of human hearts, human hopes, human passions. The public may be misled just as an individual may he misled. We have history to show that the pub. lie has been misled, and being 80 mis- jed has done great wrong Christ was crucified as the demands of clamor. ous but misled public. Had Pontius Pilate, sitting as a judge, exercised iearlessly his judicial powers the Say for would not have met the cruel fate meted out to him by that public"

A Pleasant Evening.

The Presbyterian church edifice was filled so full last Sunday night that extra seats had to be brought in from the skating rink. It was all on ac- count of the children's Sunday school concert. This school, reorganized the past spring, has been prospering finely under the efficient superintendency of Mrs D A McNeil.
 Quite recently, excellent new song books have been purchased for the Sunday school, and it was partly to show how the children succeed with them that the concert was devised, and that the little folks were so enthusias- tic.
 As it was praise service, the pro- gramme was taken up largely with music, but Laura Crabel recited a few verses entitled "The Other Shore" Tn a perfect and touching manner The sentiment of these verses was fur ther emphasized by the ,duett "The Other Side" rendered in clear pleasing tones by Mollie Bauer and Gertrude Whitney. Nellie Clark's agreeable recitation "If." A Mothers Soliloquy of her Boy, was naturally and feelinglv finished with the song "My Boy has Wandered Far," assis;ed by Gertrude Whitney's alto. This was responded to by Miss Maggie Hill and Mrs Whitney in the song "Mother is pray ing for me-" Oakley Arnold, Hudson and Lewie Eccleston and Charlie Still we'll from the boys class recited we'll the verses on love from the III chap ter of John, and the school followed with chorus "Wonderful Love-" The duet by Miss Minnie Hill and Mrs Whitney was charmingly rendered.
 The two choruses with responsive reading were well rendered and the choir gave efficient service
 Members of the infant class must uot be omitted as by many their song was considered one of the best of te evening. One of the class recited the words of Jesus, "Suffer little children to come unto me" and then all joined in a song having those words for a chorus.
 The whole affair was a success and the programme was listened to with that courteous demeanor and intelli- gent appreciation SO characteristic of Tombstone audiences.

 In discussing the perils incident to the position of chief of police of a large city Chief Deitsch, of Cincinnati, said to an Atlanta Constitution reporter:

Two or three evenings after that was sitting in the statiOn-house. It was in the fall of the year and was just getting cold. There was light fire in the big stove and Jim White, who was my sergeant, several officers and myself were toasting our toes around the stove. The door was just ajar, and while we were sitting there talking the door sud- denly flew open, and who stood in the doorway but Wolf Cohen. He was pale and excited, and I'll never forget the look on the mans face. There was murder in his eye, and he shook like a leaf. He stood there a second, and then said: Lieutenant Deitsch, you did me wrong, and I'm going to kill you Without another word he pulled big revolver and fred The bullet missed me, and all the boy" jumped to their feet. made for him and he fired again, but the bullet again flew wide of its mark. l then seized him and began to wrestle.

Owing to the red tape policy of the military system which prevails in this country, it is almost impossible to get at the true facts in the, case. The police authorities do not attempt to deny that Mme. Carnot's life has been at tempted, but they claim that in the interests of justice it is advisable to say as little as possible about the mat ter at present. From other sources, however, it has become known that the attempt to assassinate Mme. Car not was undoubtedly made by means of an internal machine, and it also seems settled that the presidents wife was not injured by the explosion, even If an explosion took place.
