ARGUS
MISCELLANEOUS.
ANGEL EYES ARE WATCHING.

Brightest angels undefiled
Watch above the sinless child;
Guard the maidens. pure and fair.
Shielded from the breast Of care;
Watch the hearts that have as yet
Not wave OF sorrow met.
Watching, when we wake or sleep,
Watching, when we smile or weep.
Not alone DER those who bear
With pure hearts life's grief OF care,
Whom temptation hath not driven
From all hope Of peace of heaven.

The Bulldozing Lawyer.

Just by what process the custom
of berating and brow-beating wit
nesses came to be established among
lawyers is not known. Presumably
it comes from the hope that by
working upon the indignations of
the witness he can be made to lose
his head, contradict himself and so
lose the value Of his testimony.
The lawyer who first conceived this
plan of cross-examination was a
great originator. He doubtless won
many cases by its use. He deserves
much credit for his sharpness. But
the thousands of cheap imitators he
has bred up in our courts are enough
to blot his memory forever. Every
crack-voiced fledgling of the law
school that has his first chance at
cross-examination, ably takes pat
tern from the powerful lawyers
he has seen in the same british
game, and squeaks his abuse at his
betters in the witness chair. His
chief desire seems to be to make as
Thoroughbred an idiot of himself
as possible. Judges chuckle at him,
old lawyers smile at him, witnesses
call him impertinent when they
leave the stand and every one who
hears and sees him very properly
1espises him. Yet he grows up in
The business and expands, and his
abusive propensity increases with
his fees. But bullying does not al
ways win. There are finer methods
Of discomposing witness than that.

Blind Piggers of winona, N. D., Visited
by Deputy Martial In Disguise.
STANDING Rock AGENCY, N. D., Jan.
17.-Many of the enterprising itizens Of
the blind pig city of Winona, on the
eastern bank of the Missouri, directly
opposite this agency, are in state of
apprehension amounting to terror. A
harmless looking stranger quietly
dropped into the town Sunday and pro-
ceeded to make merry with the sports,
apparently becoming very drunk, and
grew extremely familiar and conhden-
tial with blind piggers. About mid
night the stranger suddenly became
cold sober, clapped pair of bracelets
on his new made chum, Thomas Muir
ray, introduced himself as Deputy
United States Marshal William Martin
and read a warrant charging sale Of In
toxicating liquors to Indians and VIOLA
tionfof the internal revenue law. AL
though Martins true character was not
suspected until he flashed his handouts,
rumors of possible raid had reached
town some days ago, and some parties
have fed for whom it is believed the Of
hcer had warrants. Martin kept his
prisoner In the agency guardhouse here
until daylight and then started for Bis
marck, absolutely refusing to give out
any information. The Indian author
tiles are equally obdurate and express
most pitiable ignorance of the matter,
but this, is undoubtedly the beginning of
q determined effort to break up the sale
Of whisky to Indians all along the reser-
walton frontiers, and more arrests will
follow E-zS=a

"a. MILWAUEEE, Jan. J7.-Evidence was
brought out at the trial of Banker
Koetting to show that the South Side
Savings bank had. been hopelessly looted
and that all manner of tricks had been
resartedste by Cashier Koetting to tenn.
porarily cover up discrepancies. A. p.
Conrad, the expert accountant, testified
that President TRIUMPH and Koetting
began to dab lie with the cash drawer in
1871. The prosecution intend to show
that during 10 years Koetting had with
drawn more than 500, 900 from the cash
drawer, leaving in place Of it only mem
orandum slips; that this indebtedness
had been taken up by Koetting taking
notes and collateral of the bank and dis
counting them at other banks. The pro.
ceeds were used to replace the money
taken from the cash drawer, but the
notes were never credited as having been
discounted and it left the same shortage,
though in different form. -.., -....
In the afternoon Expert Conrad testi-
fed that as early as 1885 Koetting began
to falsify the reports made annually to
the state treasurer. On the first Mon
day in January of that year, Koettins

Insoluble Azo Colors,

The use of the insoluble azo colors.
which are produced when an anime
is diazotized and combined with naph-
thol, is said to have been patented in
France for producing designs on textile
fibers by printing, the method adopted
being the same as is now used in print
ing with the mineral colors. As an
example the production Of a red is In
stanced, this being obtained by printing
on color made with 400 grams water,
100 grams of the color lake made frorn
para-nitraniline and betanaphthol, 90
grams gum water, 40 grams albumen
liquor, cue in one, and 20 grams neu-
trail chromate of soda. On the printing
process being accomplished the goods
are dried and steamed and then passed
into bath containing 80 grams oxaiiG
acid and 90 grams sulphuric acid in
each liter, the tissues being afterward
well washed in water.-New York Sun.

Early Ideas About Hair.

All the ancient philosophers held
curious ideas respecting the growth,
functions, structure, etc., of the hair
and had many superstitions founded on
these old opinions. The early writer's
on the makeup of the human body al
most invariably refer to the hair as be-
ing an excrement fed on substances sim
liar to itself. They supposed that It
generated in the fuliginous parts of
the blood; was exhaled by the heat Of
the body, becoming firm and fbrous
upon being exposed to the air, just as
the fluid of the spider web does. In
these days every idea respecting the
growth and character of hair is
changed. It is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceives its nutriment from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the na-
ture of parasitic plants; they grow a.
vegetation does, yet each has, as it
were, a distinct life and economy.
That they derive their existence from
the juices of the body there is no doubt,
but that food is not taken from tho
nutritious juices, for we know that hair
will thrive even though the body starye
or be wasted by disease, or even after
the animal life has ceased to exist in
theflesh or skin to which they are ate
tached,-Chicago Tribune.

TO STOPTHE FIGHT
Governor Mitchell Reiterates His
Statement That It Cannot Take
Place in Florida. 49,,
He Will Not Call on the Jack
sonVills Militia, But Has Plenty
Of Other Men.
Not Only at jacksonville But at
Other Points Will q Careful
Watch Be Kept.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. ia special to The
Post Dispatch from Tallahassee, Fla,
says: If Governor Mitchell has any In
tention of abandoning his fight against
the Duval Athletic club he doesn't show
any signs of it. Onfhe contrary, he is
more determined than ever, and what is
more, he has laid plans which he says
cannot fail. When approached, he said:
, "You can announce that I'm going to
prevent this prize fight, for that's what
it is, no matter how many other terms
are applied to it."
"But it is limited that the Jacksonville
militia has declined to aid you," was
suggested.
THAT is not true, said the governor
sharply. ~''But if they did happen to so
decline, it would not affect my plans in
the slightest degree. I'm
Going to Prevent That Fight,
and that's all there is about it. Corbett
and Mitchell cannot fight in this slater"
"Have you read that the club has
several other plans in view if jackson
Vile is abandonedr' was asked.
II have" said Governor Mitchell,
"and I repeat emphatically that the
fight shall be prevented in the State of
Florida. I grant you they may sneak
off in the woods somewhere and have it
out, but I don't see how even this can be
done. shall not call upon the Jack
sonville militia. Some of them are in
favor Of the fight and have friends who
are interested"
Then you will employ the militia of
some other point of the state?"
Prepared in Any Event.
"You may draw your own conclusion.
The adjutant general has planned to
cover every point which might be avail
able and his men are men who may be
depended upon. I am prepared in any
event."
CHOW then" said the governor in con-
clusion, II think I have made myself
plain. If anybody comes to Florida to
see fight and don't see one after spend
ing time and money, he can only blame
himself. There will, repeat once
more, be no prize fight here"
The adjutant general would say moth
ing Of his plans further than that the
fight would surely be prevented.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
GOOD INDIAN CROW DOG.
His Escape and Return After He Had Re.
Eaofanaad tn

ais Escape and Return After He Had Been
Sentenced to Death.
Judge A. j. Plowman CT Deadwood,
8. D., attained national renown In 1888
when he defended Crow Dog for the
murder of Spotted Tail. The memory
of Mr.. Plowman's pluelrY legal SIGHT,
in which he carried that celebrated
case to the United States supreme court
and secured the acquittal Of his red
skinned client when the hangman's
moose was about to tighten around the
neck of the condemned prisoner, still
lives in the minds of the legal frater-
nifty throughout the west. -.......
In speaking of the matter Judge
Plowman related an incident of the
trial which has never before appeared
in public print. .-.
AFTER Crow Dog had been sentenced
to be hanged, said the eminent jurist,
II went to Washington to lay ths case
before the supreme court Of the United
States. instituted habeas corpus pro-
ceedings to secure his release on the
question of jurisdiction. While In the
nations capital was surprised TO re-
ceive telegram announcing that Crow
Dog had escaped from prison. sre-
turned to the reservation after had
completed my business at Washington,
and then learned for the first time the
cause which prompted the famous In
dian to escape. 1t seems that he was
walking in the corridor of the Jail one
day when half breed told him that
he would surely pay the penalty Of. his
crime and that the supreme court would
not interfere. This caused Crow Dog
some uneasiness. He was quick to act.
He watched his opportunity to escape.
and did so. That stoical Sioux, who had
the reputation of being a man with q
heart of marble, deliberately struck out
on foot over 200 miles Of country to
the reservation. Subsequently he vol
UNFAIRLY returned and gave himself up,
with the expectation Of going on the
scaffold. In response to the question
why he made the trip and returned 30
soon, he replied that he did not want 10
die without seeing his squaw and pa
poose once more.
''Eyents proved that he spent one day
at his tepee bidding his family what he
regarded as a last farewell, and then,
with wave of his dusky hand, he
mounted pony on his return trip to
the Jail from which he escaped. Crow
Dog is now on the reservation, hale
and hearty. He is hitting the pipe Of
peace and has no desire to wage warfare
on the government. He is a good In
dian. '-Omaha Bee.
