play the violin. London is full of them-if
by stretch of the license of metaphor we
may speak of the filling of such large

already been mentioned. Now comes u fourth,
Master Ernest Toy, who. according to the
London Sketch, is quite able to hold his own
with the Others
Instead OF giving US the opportunity Of
judging his ability in public. says a writer in
that journal, Master Toy brought his Stradi-
varius with him, and, placing his music
against "Whitaker's Almanack." ..Burke's
Peerage," and a clothes brush, began to play
De Beriot's fantasie, Themes Russes'' with
delicate expression and rare power. The

likewise charmed three errand boys. who.
though enemies of long duration. forgot to
smite one another outside the office door,

the room and his exquisite playing that he

Master Toy is Queenslander. eleven years
old. bright and modest in disposition and
with remarkable taste for music. He has
been delighting audiences in different parts
of the kingdom. and hopes soon to so for
further study to the Brussels Conservatoire.

MARRIAGE MAXIMS.

Never taunt with a pat mistake.
Never both be angry at the same time.
Never meet without loving welcome.
Never allow a request to be repeated.
Let self-denial be the daily aim and prac-
tice Of each.
Never let the sun go down upon any anger
or grievance.
Never talk at one another, either alone or
In company.
Neglect the whole world besides rather than
one another.
Let each one strive to yield oftenest to the
wishes of the other.
Never make a remark at the expense Of the
other-it is meanness.
Never sigh over what might have been, but
make the best of what is.
Never part for the day without loving words
to think of during absence.
Never find fault. unless it is perfectly GER
tain that fault has been committed, and al
ways speak lovingly.
The very nearest approach to domestic hap
piness on earth is in the cultivation on both
sides OF absolute un.elhshness.

and has number of friends who will
give him their support.
There was considerable activity yes
terday in the Windsor and Merchants
hotel Hobbies. Quite a number of
Local Politicians
were there. in addition to a number
from out in the state. The senatorial
matter and the speakerShip were dis
cussed. the former being a very ami
mated subject.
Joel Heatwole dropped into the city,
but went to his home at Northfield early
in the afternoon. He was in q good
humor over his election, said a gentle-
man who saw him.
Gov. Nelson arrived in the city from
his home in Alexandria on an evening
train. After supper at the Merchants
he slipped off from number who were
waiting to see him and went to his pri-
yate room in the capitol, where he re.
mained until a late hour last night. All
entrances to his apartments were Sc
cureIy locked, and he gave word to the
janitor not TO admit any one under any
circumstances. The ianitor said he
would not dare to ask him If he would
admit even a reporter. 1he governor
may not be able to get into the swim for
United States senator if he holds off
much longer, for the reason that the
matter IS galIopIng along and sentiment
is being developed that leads away
from both the present incumbent and
the governor.
The latest person mentioned for that
enviable position is
Judge Collins.
He possesses to marked degree the
qualities needed in a United States
senator, and in the recent election
showed himself to be easily the most
popular man in the state. His vote
was simply astonishing" said an ad-
mrer from the country, "and he would
make very strong candidate before the
legislature"
Hon. Halvor Steenerson. of Crook
ston, came 10 this city yesterday, and
will remain here during the week to
attend the supreme court. lie talked
politics at the noon hour with a knot OF
politicians in the Merchants. He says
that c. +. Reeves. Of Glenwood, would
make good speaker of the house. Mr..
Reeves is good lawyer and a parlia
mentarian. He managed the campaign
for Congressman Eddy, aud is a strong
man.

said that the delegation is unpledged on
the senatorial question, and he does not
know whom they will favor for speaker.

Wakefield, of Faribault, was a conspic-
nous figure in the hotel lObbies yester-
day, He will probably take hand in
the senatorial contest.
bob" Dunn the auditOr-elect, was
expected In the city last evening, and
his fast friend, Col. Lowenstein, waited
at the Nero hants' to hold a conference
with him. Mr.. Dunn, however, did not
put in his appearance, but is expected
to do so today. A political prophet has
made the following slate OF appoint
ments for him:
Chief Deputy-S. q. Iverson. the pres

Assistant Land Clerk S: B. Mo-

by Mr.. Dunn when III the city few

SALINA, Kan, Nov. H. - Three
masked men attempted to hold up the
bank at Sylvan Grove, Kan, forty miles
west of here, at noon today, and one of
their number met death in an unusually
tragic manner. He was shot by the
cashier of the bank, John CaleIfe, and
when i'll dying condition was per-
forated with bullets by his own COM
rades, to save themselves from exposure.
The men rode into town on fast horses.
They were finely mounted and heavily
armed. Their masked faces and flying
steeds attracted everybody's attention,
but they wasted no time in get
ting to work. They pulled their
horses up with a jerk in front of the
bank. and while one robber remained
seated, holding the brides of tue other
two horses, guarding the entrance TO
the bank. his two companions entered.
A citizen who was transacting business
at the counter quickly complied with
their command to throw up his hands.
The cashier was ordered to turn over
what money he had, and to do it double
quick. He

then reluctantly complied. 1t was but
few minutes from the time the bandits
turned their horses into the business
street before they were again mounted
and away with all the ready cash the
bank had.
The moment the robbers were out of
the building the cashier secured his gun,
and rushing to the door opened fire Oh
them as they were galloping away. The
bullet from the cashiers gun lodged in
the back of one of of the fleeing men.
He staggered in his saddle for moment,
but nerving himself he kept his seat
and galloped on. He was too badly
wounded. however. TO continue, and
before lie bad gone a quarter of mile
his body SWayed to and fro, and finally
he fell heavily to the ground. His twos
comrades. who up to this time had kept
right ahead, pulled their horses up and
rode up TO the PROSTATE man, deiiber-
ately fired several shots into his
body and dashed away. When
picked up the deserted outlaw was
dead. Nobody knew him and nothing
toldentify him by was on his person.
Who his companions were is only
matter of conjecture. 1t is believed
they are scattered portion of the Cook
gang working their way West after
having been separated from the main

the Indian territory. The bank has
offered reward of $500 cash for the
capture of the robbers dead or alive.
The sheriffs of three counties have Or
ganiZed forces which are now in search
of the bandits. The amount of booty
secured has not yet been learned. The
bank officials are keeping that quiet.

The commission briefly disposes in
this way OF the matter of the use of

Section of article 4, federal consti-
tuition, reads as follows: 1.-The United
States shall guarantee to every state in
this Union a republican form of govern
ment and shall protect each of them
against invasion, and, on application of
the legislature or the executive (when
the Legislature cannot be convened)
against domestic violence" United
States troops were not sent into Illinois
upon the application of the legislature,
nor Of the executive, against domestic
violence, i. e., violence affecting the
state and Its government as such. The
president ordered the troops to Chicago,
first, to protect federal property: Sec
ond, to prevent obstruction in the car
