Personal Ghosts.

It Is believed by tho Australian
aborlgincs that every person over I

In regular attendance which, al.
though dormant through life, a..
sumcd visible but underlined form
after death. A recent contributor to

elaboration Of this uncanny belief.
For instance: For q time the ghost
haunts the spot where corpse Is In.

sidcrcd to DO harmless yet Is re.
garded with fear. 1t Is said to be
seen sitting on the grave or near the
body; but II sinks into the ground or
disappears II any one approaches. As
the friends OF the deceased are un.
willing to 90 near the place, IL Is sci.

abOriglnes believe every adult has o
wrath or likeness Of himself, which
is not visible to anyone else, and Wis.

death. Should he see this wrath, II

breads sometimes comes to pass. Al.
ter the disposal Of the body Of q good
person, Its shade walks about for
three days; although II may appear to
persons, IL holds no communication
with them. Should IL be seen and
named by any one during these three
days 1t instantly disappears. At the
end OF three days II goes OF to q
beautiful country above the clouds,
Astounding with kangaroo and other
game. where life will be enjoyed for
ever. Friends will meet and recOg.

be no marrying as the bodies have
been left on earth. Children under
I or 8 years Of age have no souls and
no future life. The shades OF the

Another Intelligent Dog.

A farmer was engaged In chopping
wood In Forest and, fortunately,
was accompanied by his dog. In fell.
ing tree, the tree gave way sooner
than was expected. and knocked the
man down, breaking both feet by the
ankles.
The ground was covered with snow,
the cold was keen, and the farmer
knew that without speedy aid he
must perish. He could not help
himself, hut he managed to scrawl o
message on TIT OF paper with o
pencil. This message he wrapped
up In his handkerchief, which was
then tied securely around the dogs
neck. Bid ding the creature 20 home,
the dog ran or 70 the farm and barkd

The handkerchief was undone at

When the farmer was reached he
was more dead than alive, but he re.

A MARCH BACKWARD.

The pops of South Dakota got it into
their heads in some way that w. w.
Erwin, the noted st. Paul attorney.
vas inclined to favor their party.
They wrote him to know if lie could
not come to this state to make some
pop speeches. This was his reply:
II cannot ally myself with the peoples
party for the simple reason that in it's
platform of principles it proposes meas
ures to surrender the fields of enter
prise and business to the state; in fact.
it proposes to adopt the economic
features of the dreams of Plato and
Xenophon and to surrender the lofty
personal liberty which men have
evolved under the teaching of the di-
vine son of God. There sample reason
for an immediate construction of a
great fraternal political party in this
republic, but such party must propose
to surrender none of the battlefields
of history and none of the liberties
under the light of the cross the God
made man has already evolved and
planted i'll the constitution of this
republic. I do not see how / could
consistently join your phalanN

THE o FOR IT.

j. L. Burke's% opposition has persisted
in UNANIMOUSLY lying about him through
out this campaign. Among them they
charge him with defrauding the county
out of a few hundred dollars in the
payment of the Hot Springs company's
taxes in 1887. There isn't a semblance
of truth in the report. It is a lie of
the blacklist kind. AS proof we re-
spectfully refer any voter who desires
to investigate the matter to page two
of the tax list of 1887; tothet reasurer's
cash book entry of same day, both in
the treasurer's office. Also to bookone
of commissioners proceedings, pages
y and %, in auditors Office. These
records show that the taxes of the
Dakota Hot Springs company amount
ing to about 5000 we're paid May 30,
1889.
Don't believe these floating stories
till you investigate. Don't convict a
mar without giving him a hearing.
The democrats are SO desperate to de-
feat Burke that they are manufacture
ing all kinds of miserable lies. This is
one. Prove thisfor yourselves, voters,
and Well guarantee that you will not
then believe Il word they tell you.

that the democratic Senator's and
Representatives have the name and
the IostOtfice addresses of the sixteen
Thousand claimants in Indiana. These
Congressman are calling up these
claims at the rate of between two and
three hundred II dag. Are these cases
disposed of? BY no means: all that
these examiners and clerks do is to
make reports, copies of which are sent
to the applicants to encourage them to
believe tina. speedy and favorable ac.
ton is to be taken in their ca.es, in the
hope that such appl cants will be per-
suaded thereby to vote the Democratic
