A Relic.

On the wall above the mantel
There's an ancient weapon hung,
TaKnished, dusty, old, and rusty,
Springfield pattern, sixty-one;
And the spiders, all unconscious
OF it's power, upon it crawl,
And have webbed it, breach and muzzle,
Where 1T hangs upon the wall.
Gould it speak 'twould tell story
That would startle young and old,
Tales of long and weary marches
Gould that weapon true unfold,
Tales of battle, tales of carnage
That would blanch the bravest cheek.
From Bull Run to Appomattox,
Gould that ancient weapon speak
Dear indeed is that old musket,
1t had sure voice long ago,
Not friend so true and trusty
On the field to meet the foe.
Then 1t spoke and to purpose,
Fiery was the tale it told,
Leaden was the fearful message
From that weapon grim and old.
And'I love it-who can blame me?
It and I were closest chums,
Old and rusty, tried and trusty,
Best of all your make of guns.
Comrades dead and comrades living,
1t reminds me of you all
Elbows touch wheneer l view It
AS it hangs upon the wall.
Brings again your kindly faces
From that distant long ago
When we faced the storm of battle
On the field to meet the foe.
On the wall above the mantel
There's an ancient weapon hung,
Tarnished dusty, worn, and rusty,
Springfield pattern, sixty-one.

The Domestic Infelicity of the
Parkers Is Now Ended.

ParkefS Is NOW EnUeu.
The last of the evidence in the scan
dalous Parker divorce case was heard
in the district court yesterday. Then
followed the summing up. Attorney
Hubachek. for the plaintiff, reviewed
the case with drastic flavor. He took
Parker, metaphorically, by the coat
collar and shook him as a skye terrier
would shake rat. And Attorney Gill
man retaliated in like invectives, but
all this had no effect on Judge Hooker.
He looked with disgust upon the pro-
ceedings, and had no hesitation III Civ
ing the decree asked for by Mrs. Parker.
But he did not cOntine himself to
plain finding. lie amplitied by lectur-
ing Parker in the most severe terms.

Then ':Cy' Wellington arose, and,
with more than his usual eloquence,
made the opening address to the jury.
He reminded the jurors of their duty
and their oath. He dwealt at great
length upon the value OF mars repu-
tation, which he has been years IN
building up, and pointed out how one
adverse criticism in a newspaper could
forever blast the work of years, ana
cause man to be ever afterwards
loo ked upon with diStrust, and,
mavhap, contempt. He read the
complaint to the jury and he read 1t IN
a very decidedly dramatic manner. HIS
address was punctuated with keen sar-
casm and cutting remarks. Finally ne

Mr.. Donnelly, please take the
stand" said the attorney, and Don
nelly took the stand.
The examination of the pI cutting
witnesses did not furnish thai amount
of intense interest that was expected.
He spoke of the alleged libelous letter,
ana related the circumstances under
which it was written. The 0ld-llihe
enmity between himself and Bill klng
was brought out and made one OF the
points of defense. He disclaimed any
knowledge as to the ownership OF the
anonymous Springer letter, and de-
MED emphatically that he had ever
penned the lines.
On the cross examina ton he wa
taken over the same ground, but nc
new facts were elected. At 4:3O oclocE

and the alleged libelous article was ad

THE STATUE ORDERED.
In Memory OF the Late Hon. Eu-
gene NJ. Wilson.

Shortly after the death of the late
Hon. Eugene NJ. Wilson a meeting of
the Hennepin County Bar association
was held, at which a committee of fiji
teen were appointed to solicit subScrip-
tons from tile members and citizens
generally for procuring bronze bust
in commemoration of his manly virtues,
and as permanent token Of the respect
in which his memory is held by his fell
low citizens. At a subsequent meeting
this committee designated Thomas
Lowry, j. Is. Gilfillan. Samuel Hill,
James w. Lawrence and ~. L. Ankeny
to invite proposals and select and con-
tract for such monument as to them.
upon full examination, should seem
best. This committee correspondent
with many of the best artists, both of
this country and Europe, both as to
terms and character of the work, and
finally accepted the design of Mr..
Guernsey Mitchell. formerly OF New
York, but now at Paris. The design
contemplates a full life-sized statue
east in bronze. AS this character of
monument is more nearly in accord
with modern tastes. and the wishes of
the immediate family and friends Of
Mr.. Wilson, the committee without any
hesitation accepted it. The cost will
be $1,000, With $500 or more perhaps for
properly mounting upon granite ped
estal. The committee feel that the
work will be one not only creditable to
the genius of the artist who has
achieved fame. both abroad and
at nome but will be alike
fitting to the memory of our
illustrious citizen and the city
wherein for more than thirty years he
acted such an important part. The
chairman on subscriptions is Judge
Torrance, and the treasurer Judge
| Koon. These gentlemen expect to fur
nlsh a fund of ST, 600 to cover all contin
gencies, and as the work is now wei
under way in Paris portion of th'
amount will be at once required. Tit
statute will probably be set i'll place
some time next spring.

Renewed Interest in the Far

The Swedish Brothers fair is pro-

voting contest for a gold watch between
Miss Ida Hultn and Miss Tlllie Ander-
son is very spirited. as is the one be-
tween A. Olson and Messrs. Hanson and
Biomquist, the popular tailors. The
Svea band furnishes nightly music, and
orations and vocal music add variety to
the programme. The old clock OF 1865
in the green sod-roofcd Swedish cabin
attracts crowds. In quaint Swedish cos
tunes the occupants carve wooden
spoons. card and spin wool, and make
an active picture of home life i'll Month

artistic specimens of needle, hair and
