John G. Callinan, conductor on the
north branch, says coming from Bristol
to Madison is like trip from the north
pole to tropical country. While at
Madison the climate has been delightful
all winter, at Bristol there have been
small blizzards without number, and the
north OF Garden City anything
but pleasant.
Anent the funeral of the gamblers
wife who committed suicide at Mitchell,
to whose sad ending we referred yester-
day, the Mitchell Republican OF the next
day relates the following peculiar incl
dent: "a significant coincidence occurred
yesterday afternoon as the half dozen
followed the remains of the un-
fortunate Mrs. Pursell up Main street to
the cemetery. AS the procession crossed
Third street dray bearing one OF the
show banners reading SIS Marriage a
Failure?" happened to fall in behind the
last carriage and drove along for block,
considerable attention by the
aptness Of the query"
Pierre Capital, q: Yesterday two
ladies who belong to the third house-or
whose husbands do, at least started out
to do some shopping. They were COM
ing out OF dry goods store when one of
the ladies met an old acquaintance and
stopped to visit. The other lady seeing
the two were enjoying their talk, stepped
back little to wait, and seeing what
she supposed to be cigar sign, thought
to take a rest by leaning against the
same. She casually fell up against the
thing and noticing that it was rather
soft turned to examine and discovered
she was leaning up against great big
live buck Indian, who was not a bit dis
turbed and whose look of stolid indiffer-
ence was only lessened by the addition
Of apparent contempt Of the lady. The
next time that lady leans against cigar
sign she will stick . pin in it.

mony was over. The company was then
