Will Prosecute Him for Blxnmy.

Mitchell, $. D.. May 21.-Two years
ago n fine looking German giving his
name as Dr.. ]. C. Kettner, and accom-
panied by his wife, came to Mitchell from
Now York city, and hung out his shingle.
He built up quite a practice, becoming
popular among the German residents, and
seemed a devoted husband. About a
month since he left for Chicago to at
tend a medical gathering, and wrote his
wife n letter from that plnce, which
was the last she heard of him until she
received a copy of a Cincinnati German
paper containing q notice of his recent
marriage to u Miss Engelhart of that
city, under his own name, and giving his
residence as Mitchell. The Mitchell wife
has a New York marriage certificate, and
she proposes to get II requisition from

The Senate Again Wrestles With
the Tariff BILL.

Washington, May 21.-The senate be-
gan the seventh week of the discussion OF
the tariff bill to-day at 10 o'clock by TAX
ing up the metal schedule, and the pros
pect is now that the entire week will be
devoted to the tariff without attempting
any other business than that which can
be done in the first half-hOur of the
daily sessions and possibly an occasional
brief executive session after 6 o'clock for
the disposition of uncontestcd nomina-
lions. Senator Harris to-day reafirmed
his intention of pressing the bill forward
as rapidly as it nay be possible to do
so, but he said he had no idea of an
attempt to extend the daily sessions be-
yond i O'clock so long as the work
should 20 ON as satisfactorily as it is
going at present. He expressed the
cp 'niop that the Republican senators who
have been opposing the bill, and appas..
emily seeking to delay its passage had
decided to change their policy and to let
the bill proceed upon its passage AFTER
giving the various items of difference the
attention demanded by their merits, and
i1:tanced the fact noticeable on Friday
and Saturday that there had been a de-
cided cessation of long speeches and OF
roll calls as well. This change IN the
course of those of the opponents of the
bill who have sought to put obstacles in
the way of it's progress, the Democrats
attribute to the two facts that their op-
ponents have discovered that they mean
to pass the bill, and that the Republican
conferences of the past week have de-
velopcd a decided sentiment in the Re
publican party on the question OF delay,
with, as they think, q majority opposed
to all dilatory tactics.
The state bank issue which has been
gathering strength at caucuses and con
ferences ever since congress assembled,
was taken up to-day in the house and
promises to be fought to a finish this
week. 1t will bring out a sharp contest
on party as well as economic lines, as the
state bank plank of the Democratic n a
tional platform has advanced the ques-
ton to a place of Importance second only
to those of the tariff and silver. "

.Caee blindness'' is the Western name

Gage blindness is the Western name
for q peculiar affection to which Mon
tana miners are subject. After work
ing in deep mines for a good many
years some miners, when they come

the basket suspended in the shaft ready
to lower them down to the bottom.
The illusion is SO absolutely perfect

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

are received to this query. There are no
signs that any one is laying the wires for
the democratic nomination. All the shrewd
and willy politicians on that side realize
the folly of taking any steps of that
character at this stage of the game. The
chronic aSpirants for the democratic
nomination have steppedto the rear where
it is to he hoped they will remain per-

enemies of Mr.. Cleveland protested

without New York. This confidence was
justified. and they got New York too.

Indian corn. from the South is a new
factor in the Northern market. saws the
Philadelphia Times The plantation own
erS in the Southern States found out some
years ago that worn out tobacco acreage
was a losing venture and in turning about
to acquire means to profit they discover
ed that the soil. by scientific treatment
would produce fine crops in corn, wheat
and potatoes. This kind of farming is
revolution as well AZ a renovation, and
the agricultural system of the South is
undergoing as much of a change rs its
politics. The Southern farmer is now
dealing in other things besides cotton and
tobacco, and the tariff has nothing to do
with the case
