Leslie's Colored Number.

This weeks issue is really the first of
the colored Leslie numbers. a magnifi-
cent frontispiece, finer than anything
before on an American publication,
graces its pages. 1t represents cow
boy race on the plains, and is printed in
four colors. 1t is artistic to degree
unknown. The women will be interest
ed in the picture which shows Baby
Ruth Cleveland taking an airing. The
striking picture of the burning OF the
steamer Abyssinia in mid ocean and the
rescue of the passengers: the magniti-
cent features of the great poet, Walt
Whitman: figure pieces by the best
amateur photographers. and the pages
devoted to the children and the graphic
logical department will interest our
readers. The beautiful bit OF music
called Christmas Chimes and the
fourth OF the series OF the articles by
Professor Totten make it the most in
teresting publication of the rev year.
1t is u wonder how twelve such good
numbers can be furnished, together
with the psychological chart. and an

A YEAR OF MOURNING.

The Women of Poland Will Wear Moth
Ing but R1ack During 'ea.
WARSAW, Jan. 4.-This year through
out Poland is to be regarded as year
of the deepest mourning. The women
Of Poland, from the highest to the low
est. from the princess to the peasant
woman, will wear nothing but black
during 1892. All the large dry goods
firms in Warsaw, Wilma, Lemberg and
Cracow have sent back to Vienna and
other cities, according to previous un-
derstanding, the goods they had in
stock and have received black materials
instead. Bonnets, gloves, dresses, furs
and jewelry, all are to be black. Thus
will the Poles commemorate the year
1899, when they lost their Independence.

such department went into force Fri

medical officer had to cope as best he
could with the work arising out of the

for more efficient administration Of
these acts arose and then the public
health department with tho medical

hibition is the law Of the land, and it is
the silliest kind of twaddle for the Re-
publican party to continue to ''resolve'
in favor of an enforcement OF this or any
other particular law. All political par
ties are supposed to favor the enforce
ment of law-any law and all laws, so
long as they are on the statute books.

1t swells our head to get all the compli-
mentary putfs through the columns of
the South Dakota press that have been
lavished upon us the past three or four
weeks. We are one of the five Repub-

Mitchell and put up a job to not only
name the Republican delegation to Min
neapolis but to capture bodily the en-
tire state ticket. Great Scott! but we

A LITTLE CORN on a maiden grew,
Listen to my wall of toe,
Caused by the pinch of too tight shoe,
Instead Of three, number two,
It grew, it grew,
Listen to my wall of toe.
AS time went on Gas time will do),
Listen to my wall of toe,
The corn waxed red-the maiden blue,
Twas ten times worse than grip kerchew],
Too true! Too true!
Listen to my wall of toe.
She had a seat on the end of a pew,
Listen to my wall of toe,
And man with another seat in view,
Put his cowhide boot on her kangaroo,
Oh, whew! Oh, whew!
Listen to my wall OF toe.
Monday morn the maiden, fair,
Listen to my wall Of toe,
Came to the S. b. corner Of the Square,
And, finding the Sons Of p. Champeny there,
She said: Prepare

Maiden, fair, don't look so blue,
Nor tell a tale of woe;
For surely we will comfort you
By fitting on Ludlow Shoe
Sold by G. G. Champeny. 'Tis true
Thatll end your wall of toe"

A Proposition for Mitchell and COrbett to

ceived to-day by prominent sporting man
from President Noel, of the Olympic club
of New Orleans, asking if Charley Mitchell
would fight Bob F'itzsimmons for $4,000
February 81. The gentleman, in answer,
recommended Noel to communicate with
Mitchell personally.
Billy Madden on hearing of the offer
said: ''You can telegraph Noel that Peter
Maher, champion of Ireland, will fight
Fitzsimmons for purse of $4,000" He
further stated the California club had de-
cided to offer an $1,000 purse for fight be-
twee n Maher and Corbett, but as the latter
will not fight before that club on account
OF the unfair deal he claims the club gave
him in his fight with Jackson, he is per-
fectly willing they should meet before the
Pacific or Occidental club of San Frar-
cisco, or the Olympic club of New Orleans.

serts these gentlemen have discovered that
the Democrats intend to "Michiganize''
the state of New York, providing that the

alleged scheme is, that by this plan the
enormous sums Of money usually spent in
the state campaign for the election OF
electors by popular vote can be reserved

other doubtful states. The paper asserts
that Quay and Dudley consider the situa
