Calisthenics Como Again.

The State of Ohio has now q law to
include calisthenics in the curriculum
Of the public schools of the first and
second class" Calisthenics have been
out Of fashion so long that many may
never have heard the word before.
Thirty years ago DR.. Dio Lewis intro.
duced this system Of light gymnas-
tics" and 1t took" and had q feverish
run. 1t 10 we'll that this sort OF physical
culture Is coming to be regularly taught
as part Of school work, &C that bodies
may be able to sustain the development
OF brains. A gentleman belonging to q
young folks society in New York lately
called to learn how to start a class in
calisthenics. He found 1t difficult to
h ep up interest In and full attendance
upon the meetings OF the society, and
wished to inject new life and activity
by . new interest. We encouraged him
to follow the line he had in mind, and
suggested q suitable person as in
structor. Since the churches rule out
dancing generally, and as young folks
enjoy action and sociable entertain
ment We can think of no more innocent
and useful for them In their
social gatherings than exercising to
music according to the methods OF cal
isthenic as taught by DIR. Dio Lewis.
It will be an evidence Of the good time
coming" as already here when it shall
be q favorite custom come to stay

One Of the most remarkable things
ever introduced in court as evidence
was an ordinary white blotter. 1t hap
pened in Norman, S. D., where q man
was being tried for murder. The point
the pros cution thought to prove was
that the man had been in q certain hotel
at that place on q certain day. 1t 50
happened that the prosecuting attorney
had V sited the hotel on the day the
crime had been perpetrated, and that,
too, shortly after its commission. In
discussing the matter with the clerk the
suspected mans nam was mentioned,
and the clerk then stated that he had
just left the writing-room. With de-
tective sagacity the attorney visited
the room and found this blotter, with
the name ana date on it. Though sadly
blurred and inverted, experts were
called and the writing was proved to be
that OF the prisoner. The effect OF this
was simply 20 destroy the defense's ef-
fort to prove an alibi, which point being
knocked out the criminal was convicted.

SHOT W GIRLS,


The Town Of Burbank the Scene Of . Son
~satl0Dal Tragedy.
NEWS was received ut Vermillion .
day or two ago Of the shooting OF two
young ladies, Dollie Hemphill and Kate
Stefani, q short distance west of Bur-
bank, by a mar called ''Shorty" Bah
cock. The particulars as near as can
be learned are rs follows: Miss Stefani
and Miss Hemphill were young ladies'
who we're learning the dressmaking
tra1e in Vermi1sion but resided at Bur-
bank. Miss Stefani used to keep COM
pany with Babcock, but q short time
ago her mother forbade her doing so
and she has had nothing to do with him
since.
About noon that day Babcock drove
up to the place where the girls were at
work and told Miss Stefani that her
mother was very sick and wanted her
to come home at once. She did not
want to go, but Miss Hemphill said
that il Miss Stefani would go that she
would go, too, as it was not best for her
to 20 alone with BabcOck.
When q short distance from home
BabcOck drew q revolver and fired ut
both the girls. Dolly Hemphill was
killed on the spot, but the Stefani girl,
by getting under the seat of the sleigh,
escaped with two wounds in the breast.
Babcock, supposing that he had killed
them both, shot himself, causing in
slant death. What the murderer's
motive was is unknown. The Stefani
girl is seriously injured.

sold Mortgased Property.

A MAN by the name of Carli Ander-
o was arrested by the sheriff of Clay
County on y charge of selling mort
gagged property, and he is now in the
county jail awaiting his trial. About
the last of October he bought a team
Of horses and a wagon from a man by
the name of Jansen, and after he hal
them for q while he took III EN- to near
Akron and disposed of the harness and
the wagon and left the team with q
salOonkeeper there to sell. On No
vember Jansen came to Vermillion
and swore out q warrant for the arrest
Of Andersen, but Anderson could not
be found. Last week the horses we're
found, and by using a bit of strategy
Anderson was apprehended. The
saloonkeeper with whom he left the
horses for sale wrote him a note say
ing that the horses were sod and to
come and get the money. When he
came after the money the officers took
him in tow,

A PECULIAR. PEOPLE.

rho 0oaJ1a Indiana, . Tribe Living m
South America.
The northeast corner OF Columbia
terminates In q peninsula extending l10
miles into the Caribbean Sea. Here
dwell a peculiar people who were little
Known until q comparatively recent
period, when Mr.. Simons was commits
stoned to make q tour OF exploration.
The enterprise was attended with great
LANCER. owing to the peculiar institu-
lions of the country, but Mr.. Simons
secured an escort under the direction OF
inc OF the principal chiefs, and to him
We arc irdebted for about all that Is
known OF this singular people.
The entire populat on Is divided up
INTO castles or divisions, and when any
act OF violence or injustice Is commit
ed tho whole caste to which the Offend
lr belongs is held responsible for his
individual act; and the method OF So
uring satisfaction ia to visit the PEN
atty uron any member Of the offending
clan who may chance to be caught. In
the Dyes OF these people all white peo-
pie are regarded as favoring one single
clan; hence, II an Indian should chance
q be injured by u white man, the PEN
atty would be exacted from any other
white man who chanced to fall into
their hands. The most enthusiastic
explorer ~ quite naturally discouraged
by this, lest his appearance should
revive the recollections OF some unre-
dressed grievance OF the distant past.
A recent instance of Goajira vengeance
is reported in which three white men
we're roasted to death because they were
detected in stealing young native girls
for tho puspose Of selling them into
slavery.
The lust for gold has. however. led q
few traders to establish themselves on
the outskirts of the country, though
none have ventured into the interior.
1t Is only the passion for strong drink.
which the traders a the means OF
gratifying, which leads the natives to
tolerate them. And yet these remarka-
bic people have n regulation which
would delight the most ardent member
Of a temperance society. He who sells
the rum Is held responsible for all dam
age that may arise from Its use. This
invests the business with such grave
risk that most traders are deferred from
making the experiment.
The country, although of limited ex-
tent, affords many objects OF interest,
and any competent person. who has the
requisite courage, can no doubt, by fol-
lowing up Mr.. Simons' work, learn
much more concerning this strange pop
~ulatjon.

A San Francisco paper tells . curious
story OF a Mr.. Watson OF that city, who
understands the Turkish language with
out ever having learned 1t. His father
was q missionary in Asia Minor, and
died there some time before the birth Of
his child. Not many months after his
birth his mother returned with him to
this country. and dicd while he was yet
an infant. He received . fair educa-
ton, but never devoted himself particu-
larry to linguistic studies. Not long
ago he happened to be in the Office OF
the Turkish Consul in San Francisco,
wheh he overheard some conversation
going on between the Consul and some
Turkish sailors. He was surprised to
notice that the soundc seemed familiar
to him, and, listening carefully, he
found that he could understand slmost
oil that was said. He says that II seemed
a. though a veil was removed from his
comprehension, or a new faculty aided
to his mind. He Is said to have tested
this gift q number OF times since. Arabic
he can understand q little Of. All other
foreign languages are simply q tumble
OF strange sounds in his ears. but Turk
ish he understands most perfectly.

CHICAGO, Dec. Especial: The
Chicago Inter Oceans Illustrated Sup
plement, describing the great success
and merit Of NO-TO-BAC, has made 1t
famous in q day.
Mr.. H. L. Kramer, the active man,
vas seen to-day at his office, 40 Ran
dolph Street, and in talking Of MOTTO
BAGS growth. said it was hard work
to keep up with the rapididly increasing
demand. as every hook sold advertised
NO-TO-BACS merit.
He said, ''NO-TO-BAC is not sold on
the strength of the thousands and tens
Of thousand of testimonial statements,
but under an absolute guarantee to
cure, Or money refunded That made
o long story about merit very short, as
it absolutely protects the user from
physical injury or financial loss.
"Why," said he, 'NO-TO-BAC will
make 100000 cures this year, and the
saving will average 5000 for every
one cured, Or a grand total of $5,000,-
600 saved from going up in smoke and
out in spit" NO-TO-BAC is, indeed,
a God-send to the poor man these hard
times. According to the testimonials,
however, the money-saving is the least
consideration, for almost every one
repOrts'an improvement OF the nervous
system, increase in weight, and a re-
vival Of physical and mental powers
that Is indeed miraculous.
Prominent physicians look upon NO
TO-BAC as q great success, and are
very FREQ TO prescribe it.
Every wholesale drug house in this
country and Canada sells NO-TO-BAC,
and the retail druggists IT pushsd to
supply customers, and the direct mail
demand is immense.
The co t Of NO-TO-RAC compared
with re ults is q small matter, as the
saving in a week pays the cost of q
cure for q lifetime. NO-TO-BAC is
sold for / LOO q box, or three boxes for
$3.50, with a guarantee to cure or
money refunded.

Opposed to the Brewery.


BEFORE the brewery at Yankton is
reopened and operations begun there
promises to be a skirmish between the
operators OF the brewery and the tenn.
perance people Of the town. Already
the Congregational Church Monthly
has sent up . war cry, asking the peo-
pie to see to it that the brewery shall
not be opened.
1t must be borne in mind that Yank.
ton possesses a college which promises
we'll and already has q membership OF
about $50, and it is probable that the
friends Of the college will vigorously
oppose the opening Of the brewery on
tho ground that Il will keep students
away from the college. On the other
hand the projectors Of the brewery en-
terprise have considerable support in
the business community.

destitute poor are comparatively few,
while moreover the city has suffered

Rust,ers Doing . Thriving Trade.

THE present hard times do not seem
to deter the cattle thieves along the
Missouri River from pursuing their
thieving calling. A cattleman who
was at Mitchell q day or two ago states
that the ''rustlers'' and thieves along
the Missouri have been more active
this fall than ever before, and the
range men, rs we'll as the farmers,
along the east bank OF the river have
suffered some heavy depletions Of
stock. There are numerous PLACES on
the Missouri where crossings II easily
made, and the cattle thieves can in a
single night get together a large herd
of cattle, drive them across the river
and then on to the reservation and be-
fore the owners know where to look for
the stock it has all been branded and
Is vim the herds of some dishonest
ranger. The owner may be satisfied in
his own mind that a certain cow is his,
but has no redress, rs the. brand of q
different owner is on the ''critter" and
the farmer leaves with the idea firmly
impressed in his mind that an organ
ization of farmers and honest range
men is necessary to exterminate the
thieves.
