Senator aud Mrs. Casey

Senator and Mrs. Casey are expected
home some time this month. They will
probably remain here during most of the
congressional vacation. Washington
correspondents have been relating Incl
dents about the sometimes amusing but
often vexatious similarity of the names
of Senators Casey and Carey. The latter
is from Wyoming and it is said that
whenever Mr.. Casey becomes conspicuous
the credit is frequently given by gen
orally discriminating press to Mr.. Carey,
and should Mr. Carey chance to do some
thing which fails to meet with popular
approval e,lher the writer, by his in.
ferior chirograpby, or the intelligent

shoulders The last straw dropped yes
terday when it was announced in The
Star that Senator Carey would, in the
next congress, occupy the seat which IS
to be vacated by Senator Paddock. As
a matter of fact Senator Carey will stay
where he IS. but Senator Casey will sue
seed Mr.. Paddock and Mr. Dnbois will,
when he is sworn in. have control Of
what Is now Senator Casey's place. There
is 20 good or sufficient reason for mis-
taking the senator from Wyoming for the

many pounds than any other occupant Of

CalklnS...ShOrt.

The Wayne County Weekly Alliance,
a New York paper published at the home
of the bride, comes to hand with the fol-
lowing reference to the marriage of a
jamestown man:
Married at the home of the bride, in
Alton, on Thursday, Feb. 26, 1891, at
5 D. n1., Miss Jessie Short. of Alton, and
Ensign l.. Calkins. of jamestown, North
Dakota.
At the appointed hour as the wedding
march was being played the bride and
groom appeared before the clergyman,
accompanied by Miss Ef1ie Ewing as
bridesmaid and Stephen Ewing as
groomsman. The bride was handsomely
attired in corn colored cashmere. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. G.. E.
Campbell, of Sodus Point. after which
the bride and groom received the b st
wishes and congratulations of the CON-
pany individually. The company was
then seated to partake of bountlful re-
past. A number Of very nice and useful
presents were received.
They will visit friends here for few
days, ard the n will leave for jamestown
Dakota, where they will make their
future home.
Miss Short is one of our most estimable
young ladies. and we congratulate Mr.. G.
IN securing so amiable life partner. We
wish them abundant felicity in this their
new relation.

Predicts q Flood.

Francis Maurer, who resides on the
Fort Totten reservation, believes that a
period of abundant moisture will shortly
prevail in this region. He bases his pre-
dictions upon observations made during
a residence Of thirty years in this country.
He writes the Churchs Ferry Sun as fol-
lows:
Il noticed in one Of your papers some
time ago that several farmers in your
nelghbOrhOOd we're contemplating SOW
ing grain on the Lake bottoms in the
dried up lakes in your comfy, and as l
passed through your town a few days
ago heard that people were taking
claims IN some of these lake bottoms,
which, to my notion, is a very uncertain
way of farming, besides waste of time
and money. I have been IN North Da-
kota since the spring of 1861, and during
my residence here have seen almost
every lake twice dried up and as often
retilled with water, and think that We
have every reason to look for an abund-
auce of water in them again this year.
No doubt many OF the early settlers in
your county remember the fall of 1882.
when Dry Lake was almost completely
dried up no water in the south end of
the lake for distance of nearly five
mlles-and they will also recall to mind
how, in the spring of 1888 it again filled
with water. My experience IN this part
o. North Dakota since 1861 leads me to
believe that a wet season is close upon
us and advise farmers to keep out of
the lake beds and sow their grain on
high ground this spring."

Mr. johnson Explains.

The statement that Congressman
johnson attempted the unusual feat of
drawing his salary in advance, was pub
lished apparently with the single pur-
pose of belittling him in the eyes Of his
American constituents and giving every
body else an opportunity to criticise him.
In the columns of The North, Scandi-
navian journal of Minneapolis, Mr..
Johnson takes occasion to set himself
right. He says to the editor:
Yours of the 10Th with clipping is
received. About two months ago
Colonel Lounsber.y, without any solici-
tation on my part, offered to obtain for
me- small loan from the Capital nation
al bank of this city throu gh his old
friend McGrew, who is now practicing
law here. McGrew tried to get the loan
of the bank but failed and notified me of
that fact. That was all there was to 1t
In all other respects the clipping is ab-
solutely and unqualitiedly false, except
that came to Washington. Ihave had
plenty of money to supply my modest
wants since have been here and have
had no wish and made no effort to raise
money since l have been here, in the
way indicated or any other way. If
there is any curiosity to know how /
raised the necessary money to make this
trip will cheerfully say that my old
aid ever faithful friend A. Nj.
Tofthagen, register of deeds of
Nelson county. North Dakota, loaned
me S2OO when left home
without any security, and tolu me in case
OF emergency to wire him and he would
send me at any time, to any place. an
other hundred dollars by telegraphic
money order. You do not state from
what paper the clipping comes. But
that is not material as never volunteer
denials to such malicious lies, though
always glad to answer fully and truly
! any inquiries from publishers or private
individuals. With my conception that
it is unworthy of the dignit, of public
man to notice such false and foolish
charges unless called upon to do So, you
can imagine the pity feel for the pub
lie man whose mental equipment finds
congenial employment in inspiring them.
You are at liberty to publish this letter
| it you deem it of sufficient interest to the
public.

In a Den of Copperheads.

John Saley, a deaf and dumb boy Of
Pittsburg, went out with the intention of
picking raspberries. He had about filled
his pail, when his attention was attract
ed by an unusual motion in the bushes
near him. A moment later a monster
copperhead snake appeared from under
bush. Before the lad could move the
snake had coiled itself and leaped at him
The stroke was short, but some Of the
green poison from its fangs fell on Saley's
trowsers. The boy became paralyzed
with terror. A moment later the reptile
had formed its deadly coil again, and
once more leaped forward to strike. 1t
measured the distance with fatal sccur-
acy, for the deadly fapgs were buried
deep into Saley's right leg. The pain
aroused the boy from his terror and pc
jumped back. The snake strove TO hold
on to theleg. Then the boy tainted from

That Insurance Assessme ent.

The following facts obtained from
officials of the company, may be of
some interest to the former members of
the Isabella and GratiOt Mutual Fire
Insurance company who are now re-
ceiving notices Of an assessment TO pay
up old losses: In the spring of 1887
one Rolla Peet, of Lafayette, notified
the company that his house had burned
and requested the officials to come and
settle. G. G.. Commissioner Aldrich
was then secretary and in looking over
the books he found that Peet was not
member of the company and that his
policy had been cancelled two years be.
fore for the non payment of an assess
ment made in the fall of 1888 and
his name dropped from the policy
register and he notified of the fact. In
1889 Peet began suit in the circuit
court but the case was continued from
time to time until the insurance com
pany's affairs were closed up, when the
case was brought on and. there beirg
no one TO defend, judgement was
filed against the company for some
thing over 5000. Following this was
an order from the Judge appointing M
Waterbury, of Ithaca, az receiver and
ordering the assessment. Previous 10

paying the loss from their own pockets.
AS soon as receiver was appointed
this claim was also put in making the
total losses to pay not far from 81 800.
The amount ordered assessed is $4,000.
Those who are acquainted with all the
facts characterize the Peet claim as a
downright robbery and such it seems
to be.

The present year will witness the fif-
tieth anniversary Of the tonic sofia sys-
tenn, which has done so much, and, we
may safely say, will do SO much more in
the future, to spread the knowledge and
the love Of music among the people. Mr..
Spencur Curwen, son Of the inventor
and most energetic propagator of the
system, seizes the opportunity for very
interesting review of its history and
characteristics in Good Words. Coldly
received, disparaged and even derided in
many influential quarters, it is now able
to confound its opponents by the incon-
testable evidence Of its fruits.
AS Mr.. Curwen observes, in this
jubilee year there are hundreds of musi-
clans who have successfully climbed the
ladder his father placed for them-bache-
lors and doctors Of music, fellows of the
College of Organists, associates of the
Royal Academy Of Music, vocalists and
performers of repute. Mr.. Ben Davis,
not many years ago, was singing in tonic
sol-fa choirs, and he constantly advises
opera singers who wish to read at sight
to learn the system.
A doctor Of music who graduated the
other day at one of our universities testi-
fes that without the tonic sofia system
he does not think he could possibly have
done the work. Such authorities as DR..
Helmholtz of Berlin; Sir John Herschell,
Mr.. Bosanquet, General Thompson, DR..
Bridge, Mr.. Henry Leslie, Lord Ray
leigh, Mr.. A. j. Ellis and many othel )
not less noteworthy have given their
sanction to the system.

The Widow of a Rhode Island Million
aire the Victim of a DastarIly Crime.
DENVER, Colo, April 27-Of all the
dastardly crimes perpetrated in the west
probably the worst came to light Friday
night. A short time ago Mrs. Jereoth-
mel Il. Barnaby, the widow of the late
millionaire merchant of Providence, R. L
and who had also enormous emporiums in
Boston and Kansas City, came west tt
visit Mrs. Edward WorrelI, of this city.
Drank a Deadly Dose.
A few days after she arrived here a
small package postmarked Boston, Mass,
was received by her, which, when opened,
was found 10 contain small bottle Of
whisky with a card bearing the words
Fine old whisky from your friend in the
woods" Mrs. Barna5y laughed great
deal over the matter, and thought no
more of it until April 18Th, when feeling
fatigued she thought she would like some
of the whisky. She and Mrs. Worrell
took a small drink each. Soon afterward
they were both taken very i'll.
The Whisky Full of Arsenic.
Doctors were called, but could do moth
ing to relieve Mrs Barnaby, although the
other lady recovered in day or so. Mrs
Barnaby kept sinking until April 10,
when she died In great agony. The
whisky was analysed and found TO con-
tain arsenic in large quantities. The re
mains of Mrs. Barnaby was sent east
Friday night. The facts have been kept
quiet because the friends thought it
would facilitate the discovery of the pois.
oner.
