Lillian RusseIl,s Youth.

Lillian Russell is always the talk of the
town when she comes here. Her engage
ment this time was no exception. Here
are some bits about her which may be new
to the new generation:
She was pupil of the Sacred Heart
Convent of this city for nine years, and it
was there she learned French and German.
She sang i'll "Pinafore" in E. e. Rice s
company when she was IL years old, when
she married and retired.
One day she was singing in parlor in a
house where Tony Pastor called. He asked
who she was, and afterward met her. He
engaged her at a salary of $50 week to
sing ballads -"The Kerry Dance and
'Twickenham Ferry" were two OF her
most popular songs. She received several
offers while she was with Pastor, but re-
fused them until her contract with Tony
Pastor was fulfilled.-Chicago Tribune.

THE MARSHAL FINED.
The New City Marshal Comme1eed OPP
erations too Hastily
Eiuol for Acting as an Officer Before
His Bond was Filed.

Atthe complaiutot 4. Walk thecounty
prosecuting attorney this week caused
the arrest OF Marshal Geo. B. Parker,
charging him with acting in the capacity
OF an officer OF the law before he fled his
official bond, as required by statute.
The instance upon which the complaint
was based was that Of impounding the
COW OF \. Walk, the complaint stating
that it was driven from Mr.. Walks prop
erty.
The warrant for Mr.. Parker's arrest
was issued from Justice Merriman's
court, and was served Thursday by Con-
stable Buhmann. The trial was set for
yesterday afternoon, but before noon Mr..
Parker, and his attorney, j. W. Math-
ews, appeared in court and entered a
plea OF guilty, whereupon the justice
fixed the fine at So and the costs of the
case, total of $500.
At the time Mr.. Parker entered the
plea five members of the city council
were present, and each one stated that
it was through the express instructions
of the council that the marshal had COM
menced his duties without filing bond
and inasmuch as the blame did not rest
so much with Mr.. Parker as with the
council, the justice made the fine as
light as possible. Mr.. Parker believed
that he had full authority to go ahead
with the duties of the office on being sc
instructed by the council.

Ontario Observations.

Master CLANCY Richardson is on the
lazy list this week.
Thos. Duff and wife visited friends in
Cotton Saturday and Sunday.
Mr.. E. Brannan, father of Sherman
Brannan, was visiting his son here last
week.
On April 9th there arrived a little
stranger to visit the home of Mr.. and
Mrs Grant Story. The tiny little ma'am
has been permanently adopted into the
family. Father and mother are both
doing nicely.
On account of the sickness and death
of Mr.. Strey, of Colfax, we had no school
here last week. The old gentleman was
grandfather of Mr.. Abrams, our teacher.
We deplore the death of this fine old
man, and the family has our heartfelt
sympathy.
Crops are looking fine. The farmers
are raising mixed crops this year. You
will see wheat, oats, barley, fax and
corn, and plenty of potatoes and garden
vegetables can be seen peeping through
the ground. The orchards are also pre-
senting a beautiful appearance, as |
never saw them so full Of bloom before.

Her Goodness Didn't Hold Out.

Joseph Yelle, arrested few days ago
in Spokane, for vagrancy, was after a
searching examination given his liberty
Monday afternoon, Notwithstanding that
his wife seemed disposed to lend all the
aid possible to land her leige behind the
bars, says the Times.
Yelle once held responsible position
on the Spokane police force and was we'll
liked. In his testimony Monday, Cap
tain Coverly. who knew him then, gave
the man a good reputation.
A year or more ago Yelle married his
present wife at Pullman, and during sew
eral months the church people did every
thing possible to help them along and to
assist the woman into a better life than
the one she had been leading before
Yelle married her. Last fall they went
to Spokane and shortly afterward the
woman began work at the Louvre as a
"barmaid." Two or three months ago
she went to work in the New York Dance
hall. Yelle claims that he has been
sick much of the time that he has con-
stantly endeavored to secure work. In
court he related his poverty and his in
ability to secure work. He said he
roamed the street at night in order to
take care of his wife and also because he
could not sleep on account Of his physical
condition.
1t seems that Yelle and his wife have
had trouble, and the woman seemed par
ticularly desirous of making trouble for
her husband. When James Hutson,
Yelle's only witness, was being exam
ined, Mrs. Yelle pronounced his words
ga lie." The court reprimanded her
severely and at the conclusion of the
case fined her 81 for her words, with
holding her witness fees for the same.
Yele told the court that he intended
to leave town.

n babe was born.
Mrs. Wheeler was in the habit Of going
to MIR. Wehrman's, one half mile distant,
about shutdown every day for milk. Tues
day, after putting out the washing, she
went on her usual mission, leaving the
three m%onths-old babe asleep. After she
left Mr.. Wheeler built a large fire to dry
out the room. He then took his gun to
shoot some quails a short distance from
the house. He had not gone more than
three hundred yards when he discovered
the house to be on fire. BY the time he
got back the roo in which the child wa
sleeping was filled to suffocation with fire
and smoke. Nothing could be gotten out
save a trunk.
"The mother discovered the fire just as
she arrived at Mr.. Wehrman's, but sup
posed the baby was safe, since she left her
husband there. When the contrary was
made known to her, she became almos,
frantic. Her grief knew no bounds.
