by E. 9. French. on the charge of
opening a letter addressed to Mr..

the Northwestern crossing on the
Omaha road yesterday afternoon. evi

fault of which the young man spent
the night in jail. He retained Lorin

of being prosperous business man.

ecution. No evidence was put on un-
til this afternoon.

THE REVIEWS "SCOOP."

Last evenings Rerie,C contained the
following bright literary jem:
The assault upon the Decoria farm
er, reported by the Recie,c, was not
another fake" but another of the
very many scoops" which annoy the
FREE PRESS reporter. The case was
given just as stated by the victim.
The injuries described were as dressed
by his physician, and the injured man
was cared for at the City Hotel as
claimed. 1t is not necessary to have
such cases verified by either the city
or county authorities. A lecture on
fakes or about unreliable statements
comes with bad grace from a source
that can hardly state an ordinary oc.
currence correctly, and who has earned
the title of of prince of bunglers."
We had not intended to expose the
callownesS and childlike simplicity OF
the Rerieao reporter to the public gaze,
and would not now do so had not ouI
supposed inoffensIve correction of his
mistake called forth the above jealous
fling. AS the Rerielc has seen fit to
lay aside professional courtesy, we
have no hesitation in showing how the
Rerielo reporter was imposed upon by
some Of 1.-THE boys"
The facts in the case are these.

cratic rank and file of the parade
recklessly swinging lighted torches.
The colts took fright and turned
squarely around, overturning the car
rage, and throwing Mr.. Herzberg to
the ground. A pillow share which was
in the carriage fell upon his head, cut
ting a cash on one side of it. He was
not rendered insensible, as the report
er of the ReUieao was led to believe.
but picked himself up and went to DR.
Hielscher's office and had his wound
sewed up. He then went to the City
Hotel and went to bed. This was all
there was to it. There was no bold
Robbery" or any attempt at it.
Now comes the amusing part of it,
The unsophisticated reporter of the Rt
uieac was stuffed in regard to the
robbery, etc., and bit with the ayidity
of a hungry fish at worm covered
hook. Mr.. HerZberg enjoys his joke
as well as any other man, but he had
no idea that any reporter would be SO
simple as not to give the matter the
slight investigation which would have
shown the reporter the facts. He re-
grets that the matter has found its
way into the newspapers.
Thus the story of the lone stranger,
the midnight assault aud the bold
robbery is robbed of its essential fea-
lures, the same as was the Lake Madi-
son murder fake. In the future we
advise the reporter of the Rerie,o not
to give credence to every story he
hears.

The vote for state flower closed
the fifteenth of this month, the second
and third districts having the follow
ing report:
Lady Slipper (Moccasin Flower 4OS
Rose r. Bldndd). ......... 224
Cone Flower (Black-eyed SUSAN IS
Aster .............. "a
Indian Pink. %
Total votes counted. ....... 724
A great many votes had to be thrown
out, owing to the fact that it was i'm
possible to make out what flower was
indicated. For instance, on many
slips every candidate was erased, on
others none were erased, then again
others had two marked for vote, and
so on the list of errors went, till it
made quite a reduction in the totals.
The second district voters stood by
the Lady Slipper like stalwarts in a
political canvass. Other candidates
of course received a small share of the
votes, notably the Rose. If the
other districts do as well, we will
have the pleasure of wearing an aris-
tocrat of the flower world in our but
ton hole. Our state flower will play
an important part in the decorations
of the woman's department Of the
state building at the Worlds Fair.
At the next meeting of the board,
which occurs the last of the month,
all votes will be counted and the con-
test officially settled, then the legis-
lature will be asked to indorse ouI
successful candidate, and Minnesota
will step into line with other states.

Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-04-27

1t is interesting to know that quite re-
Gently a distinguished Frenchman, M.
Bouchon Brandely, has discovered what
he believes to be a practical method of
procuring the manufacture of these
gems of the ocean through artifce.
Now that the pearl market of the world
is seriously menaced by the threatened
exhaustion of the fisheries it is high
time for human ingenuity to step in and
supply the demand. The process adopt
ed is simply to bore holes in the shells
of the pearl oyster with a gimlet, intro
ducing through these perforations little
balls of glass, and stopping them her
metically with corks.
After four weeks time the balls of
glass are found to be covered with thin
layer Of pearl In six months the layer
has become of sufficient thickness to be
permanent, and the bigness of the jewel
thus manufactured is in proportion to
the period allowed to elapse. OF course,
this has its limitations, inasmuch as the
mollusk will not deposit nacre indefi-
nitely, its only object being to protect
itself from irritation by the intruder.
The expert quoted believes that pearls
can be made of various colors to order
by selectiOn.--Cor. Boston Transcript.

1t is u common thing to see the Eng
Iishman say or write things which no
American would utter or put on record.
Lord Ronald-Gower, representing one
of the noblest of English houses, finds
no shame whatever in telling in his pub
lished diary how he used to write squibs
in the newspapers, satirizing his hosts of
the day before because they let the smell
of dinner come into the hall. Mr.. r. L.
Stevenson is credited with remark al
most equally graceful to the effect that
the reason Thoreau never drank wine
was because there was no wine in Amer
lea fit to drink
When we consider at how many houses
in this country this lively writer must
have been guest, and how cordially
the hosts must have shared with him the
best they had, poor though it might be,
the remark may fairly enough be classed
with that of Lord Ronald-Gower. An
American cowboy on the plains would
have considered it piece of boorishness
to make either remark; yet it is proba-
bic that no argument or persuasion
could convince either of these distin-
guished foreigners that he had fallen be-
low the highest standard of good man
ners.-Colonel Higginson in Harper's
Bazaar.
