Items ale scarce.
Billie Quinn is in the cooler, charged
with holding up Fred Durbahn.
The trial of Beard and Gray at Beaver
Falls last week ended in their acquittal.
It was farce from first to last. If a
man commits crime and says he didn't
know it was wrong, he goes clear, 'pro-
vided he has a jury from the west end"
One of the jurors in the Beard and
Gray case last week said he never heard
of Fairfax, nor the Bank failure, until he
came into the court room. Such ignor-
amuses make good jurymen.

Given the Laugh,

Berlin. April 15.-Thcre waS a crowded
attendance to-day at the opening of the
reichstag, owing to the interest excited
by the statement of Herr Ahlwardt, the
Jew batter, that he would to-day present
the documents which he had promised
to produce duplicating the high German
officials in corrupt conduct. Upon the
opening of the proceedings Herr ALL
Wardt presented a written statement
which the president scanned and returned
to Ahlwardt, announcing. amid general
laughter, that the house would proceed
to the ordinary business. 1t is under
stood that Ahlwardt withdrew the docr-
ments of which he had spoken, although
the general hubbub and laughter rem
dered it difficult to ascertain whether
Ahlwardt had really done so or not.
Subsequently Ahlwardt offered to the
president to present the documents if u
special committee should be appointed to
examine them. The president replied
that Ahlwardt must bring the matter be-
fore the house, either by motion or peti-
ton. Ahlwardt then went around
among the socialist members endea roring
to secure their support of motion for
the appointment of a special committee
t. examine his alleged discriminating
documents. 1t is the general opinion
among the members of the house that
the documents Ahlwardt now says will
prove his charges will contain as little
proof as did those recently presented.
and it is highly probable that he will
fail to get the house to waste time look
ing over them.

The Age of the Hoop Skirt.

The hoopskirt is almost as old as Me-
thuseleh. Queen Elizabeth and Marie
de Medici hustled about in hoopskirts,
and Queen Bess must have looked very
beautiful with her red hair, her sharp
face and her big hoops.
Hoopskirts travel in cycles. In this
century they first appeared in 1888.
They reached their meridian and like
wise their extreme latitude in 1860.
They persisted of some dropsical affec-
ton in 1863.
From 1868 to 1898 there was q
breathing spell, during which there
they will be the fashion till 1923, or
made their appearance again. If it is
safe to trust to recorded experience,
they will be the fashion till 1893, or
during the next thirty years. Then,
perhaps, they will yield the field to
Mother Hubbards, or Moorish cos
tunes, or for some other fantasy in
dress for thirty years more Mathema-
ticians will soon be able to predict the
return of the hoopsEirt as astronomers

The Recreative Exercises of Pla

The Recreative, Exercises of Play
and Its Effects.
The pre-eminently recreative exer-
else is play. This natural gymnastics
brings with it an attraction that ami
mates the most Indifferent and gives
inspiration to the most phlegmatic. And
what contrast there is between pu-
pills exercising in play and those upon
whom a systematic gymnastics is i'm
|posed-betwcen English school children,
for example, and French! In France,
to everybody's sorrow, the children
seem to have horror Of motion. Left
to themselves, as soon as they are out
of the school room, they walk along
slowly in couples or gatheS in groups
in the corners of the yard, and they
pass the time in chatting, in ''philoso-
phizing." Gymnastics is obligatory, it
is true, on some days and at certain
hours; but witness of the lesson will
be struck with observing that hardly
four or five pupils out of thirty execute
their exercises conscientiously. The
others present themselves in their turn
but hardly outline the movement. The
professor incites them, urges them;
and they go back to their places after
having made an imitation of an effort
In the English colleges no regulation
makes exercises obligatory, and
every one is free to dispense with it
or to engage in it at will. But all give
themselves up to it with incredible ar
dor. Weak and strong, young pupils
or students twenty years old, all show
an equal passion for those plays in the
open air, now neglected in France. for

Where Is Lyons


Denver, Colo, Special, April 15,-T. T.
Lyons, the anti-Catholic lecturer, il
missing. Some believe he has been fou,,v
dealt with. The p. o. s. of A. people do
not hesitate to lay the blame of his mys-
FERROUS disappearance at tbe door If
those who differed from him on religious
and political views. They saw his life
mas been threatened several times by his
enemies, and claim that these enemies
" ,',,a themselves of an opportunity to
Kill him. The last seen of LYONS in
DehVer was about two weeks ago. He
was preparing to deliver a lecture in
Leauvllle on THE Moral Effect of the
confessional" He failed to keen his
appointment in that city, and it is not
Known whether he ever reached there or
not. Ills friends here grew anxious over
ms long absence and to-day they made
inquiries of .his neighbors, but nobody
hhe" anything about him. Finally they
broke in the door of his house, and found
every tnlhg tossed around as if Lyons had
just left the place to return in a few min
u'es' His Jewelry and clothes were lying
around and the trunk was open. On
further examination it was found that
the back door was unlocked This state
SoopiS'l Win luelr former
tears, seems conclusive in the minds of
Lyons friends that he has fallen into
the hands of his enemies. There are
others who believe that the friends of
the men whom Lyons shot at CHEYENNE
some time ago have Wrecked their VEN
geance on the falleE priest Lyons was
formerly Il Roman Catholic priest. hut
was untrocked for some cause. He at
once sworc vengeance Oh the Catholic
church. He joined all the an1i-Catholic
organizations in the country and became
editor of the Rocky Mountain American.
Denver weekly journal hostile to the
adhcrents of the Roman church. Under
the management of Lyons the paper was
even more virulcnt than ever before, and
bade fair to eclipse Frank pixley, of the
Argonaut. in its abuse of the pope. Its
most bitter attacks. however, were aimed
at the nuns and sisters of charity. LYONS
hnally took the lecture PLATFORM. and his
meetings ut every point throughout the
west were the scenes of great disturb
ance. The meetings in Cheyenne termi-
mated in shooting affray. 1t is known
that Lyons has been in financial straits
recently. and there are some who accent
this as the correct theory of his mys-
FERROUS disappearance.

Runaway Cable Train.

Chicago. April ia runaway cable
train with passengers aboard was whirled
unchecked ten squares through the most
crowded portion of the city this after
noon. Its wild career ended by a plunge
down grade into the La Sale street tun-
mel, where the train was derailed, and
the wrecked cars strung across the track
near the bottom of the sharp incline.
There was an exciting scene along Dear
born and Randolph streets as the run
away rushed along Men. women and
children made frantic attempt to get
off the train. Many fell to the ground as
they alighted. Crowds attracted by the
screams of the imperiled passengers and
the changing Of the car bells chased after
the trains and endeavored to get the
helpless ones off the cars. Police officers
pulled several women through the broken
windows of the cars and landed them in
passengers on the cars We're women with
babes in their arms. They begged pite-
ously that their children be saved from
harm. but most of the men thought only
of themselves.
In the, confusion several persons were
trampled by teams taking fright. bur es-
capped serious injury. Down the tunnel
the cars were in such inextricable con-
fusion and grips and cable in such cha
otto shape with so many cars from the
north side blocking the north end, that
it took hours to clear the wreckage away
The gas main running through the tun-
mel was broken and there was chance
for an explosion. The electric light
wires were also cut. leaving the tunnel
in darkness. Four passengers were bad
ly injured, while number of others were
fearfully shaken up and bruised or
scratched. The accident was due to a
strand becoming broken in a Clark street

The legality OF the elections just held in
the cities and towns OF North Dakota is
being qus&tioned. The question OF legal
ity arises partly from the fact that the
reports OF ithe elections from different
parts of the state do not show uniform
ity as to the time when the elections
were held.
VIM. Hogan, q, pugilist, was shot at
Deadwood, s. D., q few days ago, by j.

fatal injury. Hogan came into Cooks
saloon and began abusing Cook, when
the latter drew revolver and shot him.
Hogan is a hard character.

State Engineer Fassett OF South Da-
kota is making an earnest effort to
get small portion OF the government
appropriation to the state agricultural
college for expenditure in Brown, Sphinx
and Beadle counties the present season,

He would like to get 81 900 for each OF
these counties.

| Gray Bros. bored an artesian well l,OOO
feet deep for the city, which resisted pay
ment on the ground that the flow was
not satisfactory.
The Injunction on the Arlington hotel
at Britton, s. D., has been raised up
on motion OF the county attorney. 1t
was closed under the prohibition law
after being searched, but the evidence
found was not sufficient to convict, and
upon guarantee OF the owner that in the
future no liquor should be sold, it was
thought best to open the house.
An attempt was made at Britton, s. d.,
few nights ago to blow open the safe
at MnDougall's meat market. A hole
was drilled in the top OF the safe and q
charge OF powder exploded, but it failed
to open the door. The notes, books, and
papers inside were badly burned but not
destroyed. The team, buggy and harness
Of D. II. Hindman are gone and have pro-
badly been taken by the burglars.
Farmers all over South Dakota are
generally becoming owners OF large flocks
OF sheep, and their flocks are the envy OF
the Eastern sheep raisers. W. G. Mead,
farmer OF Sphinx county, says that in
the last fourteen days 63 OF his sheep
have had 127 lambs, making total OF
202 lambs and sheep. Some OF the lambs
weighed at birth eleven and twelve
pounds, and next Christmas, when fat,
will bring from $3.50 to s. per head:
The wool will bring about 81 per head
for the ewes He has 100 more to lamb
yet and has lost % lambs, and part OF
these through cErplessncss. The sheep
raising industry is now beyond it's in
fancy in South Dakota, and the success
of those who are now owners OF large
flocks will induce hundreds OF farmers
who now own but few sheep to invest
larger sums Of money in this industry.

l. Chapter 5, Article IA, OF the rules
and regulations OF the Grand Army en-
Join upon every Post and Comrade the
duty OF observing Memorial Day, and it
is part OF the obligation he assumes.
I therefore recommend that every Post
in this Department make early and ample
preparation for the proper observance Of
Memorial Day, Tuesday, May 80. A. D.
1893, and that our auxiliaries, the Wo-
mans Relief Corps, Son OF Veterans, the
military and loyal citizens, be cordially
invited to participate and take promin-
ent part in the exercises.
Also on this day the national flag
should be hoisted at half mast on every
school house, and the pupils, accompani-
ed by their teachers. should be especially
invited to lend their presence to the oc-
casion.
Let us Loyalty devote the day to the
memories OF our Comrades and search
ont the green mounds that wrap their
clay, in order that no grave of Union
soldier or sailor be missed-not one that
willing hearts and ready hands do not
unite to strew with bright flowers in the
May time OF nature, upon whose impress
the sunlight will have painted something
OF rarest beauty. Let US, for those Com
rades who dedicated their lives to liberty
and immortalized their devotion to the
Union by their deaths, and who sleep in
graves unknown, especially prepare some
tribute of love and remembrance; and
may youth and age alike esteem it a
privilege to join in erecting cross to
their memories.

dov should be observed by the members
OF the Post, in full uniform, at some
place of Divine worship, in accordance
