danced ia Hamilton's hall last night with
their wives and friends, in all about 800
people. There were 146 couples IN the
grand march and more came later.
The weather was unfortunate for the
event, and even the North Topeka
members could not attend. There would
have been Representatives from Argen-
other Kansas towns had the weather
been better.
Several of the Topeka engineers were
called away on specials" last night One
feature of the event that was looked
forward to, was the presence of General
Manager Frey and General Superintend-
ent NickersOn of he Santa Ee- But
both were unexpectedly called away
from the city on business. Master Me

Statue of This Noble Patriot, In Honor
of Whom Winston Was N AIMED.
The statue of Major Joseph Wins
ton, lin honor of whom the City of
Winston was named) which is to sur
mount the Holt Monument, has ar
rived at the GuilfOrd Battle Ground.
The Greensboro Record says that
the statue is made of composition
metal so nearly resembling pure bronze
that no one but an expert can dis
tinguish it. The statue is six feet and
represents a soldier in full uniform of
a Major Of the Continental line in
ISL
The cooked hat and plume, the
heavy silk sash, the buff coat and long
vest of that day gives 1T an unique and
attractive appearance. The left hand
is elevated to right angle with the
body and is pointing to the enemy.
while the right hand graSps drawn
sword. Evidently a charge is being
ordered. What is peculiar about the
figure is that the eye is so indented
and shaded as to give it an excited APP
pearance, full Of animation and spirit.
The dull, eXpressionless eye balls,
usually seen on both marble and
bronze, are entirely changed and the
whole countenance is lighted up with
life.
AS whole it is the handsomest
piece of statuary in North Carolina
and one that would be admired in any
collection.

GRAND JURY's REPORT.
The Grand Jury completed their
work and made the following report
Monday afternoon:
We have found "A true bills and 10
not true bills. Five bills were not act
ed upon for want of witnesses. There
were 90 bills before US. We made all
presentmentS TO our knowledge and
brought to our notice. We visited the
all in body and found it in good
condition. The prisoners are provided
for as well as the crowded condition
will admit. We recommend at least
two cells be added in the upper story
so the whites and cOlored may be
kept separate
We visited the county home for the
aged and infirm and found it nicely
kept in all departments. The inmates
say they are well cared for. We re-
spectfully recommend that building
OF suitable size and Of brick be built
for a smoke-house at the county home.
We visited, by committee, the
offices of Clerk, Sheriff, Register of
Deeds and Treasurer and found them
well kept. Their books were found
to be in good shape.
We further recommend that the
old papers in the Registers office, if
worthless, be burned and if of value
be put in a box and put away.
We also recommend that the closets
under the steps at the courthouse be
cleaned and put in proper shape for
the use of the county officers.
We respectfully recommend that a
suitable apartment, with bedding, be
provided in the upper story in the jail
for the accommodation of sick prison
ers. w. M. HINSHAw,

Wise Words.

Hope is a necessity; realization a
luxury.
Precepts may lead, but examples
will draw.
You can't stop a vile mans tongue,
but you can stop your own ears.
The man who minds his own bust
ness will always have business to
mind.
A reformer is often a man whose
neighbors wish he would begin on
himself.
Every man makes the world either
richer or poorer by what he gives to
it of himself.
1t is always safe to learn, even
from our manifestation safe to
instruct, even our friends.
A man cannot possess anything
| that is better than good wife, or
| worse than a bad one.
Happy the man who early learns
| the wide chasm that lies between his
wishes and his powers.
1t is not charity, but rather great
| cruelty that prevents US from re-
| minding a brother of his faults.

SAM SEELY CAPTURED.
DEFAULTING BOOK-KEEPER OF
A NEWsYORK BANK.
Horse Races-What Seely Says
He Makes a Confession.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-At IL o'clock
last night the Chicago police arrested
man who answers the description of
Seely, the defaulting book-keeper of
the Shoe and Leather National Bank,
of New York. The police are conf
dent they have the right man.
P. E. Mcfarland is the name of the
man who exposed Seely to the police
He says that he first met Seely on
Dearborn street eight days ago. Seely
asked HIM the direction of the Roly
race track. Mcfarland and Seely went
together several days, during which

that his partner. Baker, got the bulk
of the banks money, he (Seely) re-
ceiving but $4,000.
