Minutes of the Council of Ten.

Recent researches in the archives of
the Venetian republic have brought to
light the records of the mysterious and
dreaded council of ten, inclusive Of the
minutes of their most secret meetings,
which were kept with the greatest care
and regularity. This council was the
real executive power in the republic,
the doge, especially in the later years
of Venetian history, being purely an Or
namental parsonage and deprived of all
real power. 1t is well known that the
council deposed and executed more than
one dcge for alleged crimes against the
state and was only controlled in the ex-
ercise of its authority by the grand coun-
Gil, from which the majority of Vene-
tian citizens were, after the closing of
the golden book Of the council, perma-
nently excluded.
In the domain of police and foreign
affairs the council of ten reigned su-
preme, the grand council, when it met
which was not very often-confining
its action to home legislation and the
election to Office bearers. The assassina-
ton by poison Of enemies of the repub-
lie was considered an important branch
of public business, and proposals for
this purpose were. eagerly listened to
and discussed at the council's g meetings.

It Is to Be Used In Transferring the Nations
100000 Books to New Quarters.
It is known to only few that tun-
mel is to be constructed from the crypt
of the capitol under the east park to
the vaults of the great building for the
congressional library, now in course of
construction. The plans for the tunnel
have been completed, and work upon it
will soon be begun, that it may be fin
ished in season to be used for the trans
portation of the nearly 1000, 600 books
and pamphlets which make up the vast
bulk of the library from the old rooms
to the new. 1t is probable that tenn
porary railway will be laid in the tun-
mel, that cars may be employed to carry
a large quantity of books at once.
One of the most remarkable transfers
of the kind in the history of libraries
was that in Berlin some years ago,
when regiment of soldiers were put
to the work, received their burdens and
marched and countermarched under per-
feet discipline, accomplishing in short
time the vast labor of removal
It is possible that when the new
building is occupied pneumatic tube
may be laid through the tunnel, that
congressman may Immediately receive
books which they desire to consult with
out the trouble and loss of time which
would be entailed in going to the libra
~ in person CT awaiting a trip by a
messenger. 1t is not expected that the
work of removal will begin before the
spring of 1896. Washington Cor. Pitts

A White Woman as an Apache Warrior.
The following story is told by one of
Arizona's early pioneers:
In 1864 DR.. Alsap and Lord Duppa,
well known pioneers, were prospecting
with q party in the Bradshaw noun
tains on the Hassayampa creek. One
morning the party separated for the pur-
pose of hunting. In going up canyon,
in which they were separated from their
companions by high mountains, Dup
pas detachment was attacked by large
band of Tonic Apaches. The whites
gradually fought their way across the
ridge with the hope of rejoining their
companions. During the advance Dup.
pa, who was stationed behind q rock,
noticed that he was the particular mark
of an Indian with a bow. Several ar
rows had fallen at his feet, and one
struck him in the arm. Raising his rifle,
he took aim, and just as he was touch
ing the trigger the supposed Indian
cried, Don't shootv' in good English,
but it was too late, and the body fell
over with life extinct. Soon after the
two parties succeeded in forming juno
tion, and the Indians retreated, leaving
their dead
Out of curiosity the party returned to
the place where Duppa killed the sup
posed Indian and found that it was a
white woman, evidently about 80 years
of age and dressed in all the parapher-
MALTA of the Apaches. Investigation was
made, but no trace of her former where
abouts could ever be obtained. Yuma

the Life of Her Little Girl.
A little child rescued in drowning
condition from the bottom of a deep
well by her mother is the incident that
excited the residents of Green Lake last
week.
The three children of John L. San
dell, who lives in a comfortable home
three-quarters Of mile east of the lake,
were playing in the yard a week ago
yesterday. All were girls, two of them
and years old respectively, and the
youngest a little tot not quite 2. Near
the house is an Is foot we'll, with water
in it two feet deep, the entrance to
which was surrounded by frail picket
fence. Tho children in their play pulled
and tugged at this railing until finally
it gave way, and before the older girls
could comprehend what had happened
their little sister, going too far, had
on the BLACK surface of the water l6 feet
below.
The sdilfren at once called to their
mother, who was alone inside the house.
Mrs. Sandell, Mortified, ran to the curb,
but could see nothing but the yawning
cavern that held her child. She thought
of a ladder at the barn $50 feet away,
and without losing seconds time she
brought it to the well, but it was only
10 feet long. She realized that desper-
ate chances had to be taken, for the
child had already lain in tho water sew
eral seconds. and few moro meant that
its life would be gone She dropped the
ladder in an agony of fear lest the ends
should strike the baby dead. The in
slant it had settled in place she forced
herself through the narrow aperture at
the top, measured momentarily with
her eye the distance to the ladder
against the wall six feeet underneath
and dropped. By chance that seemed
miraculous she caught it squarely, and,
balancing herself, instantly descended
to the bottom of the well. There she
found the child unconscious. 1t had
been in the water at least three minutes
and was almost dead.
Mrs Sandel lifted the helpless in
FAINT and climbed to the top of the lad
der, at the same time calling to the
children above to run for help. While
they were gone she repeatedly rolled the
babe upon her own body, forcing from
it the water it had swallowed until she
was gladdened with signs of returning
life.
It was half an hour before the chill
dren returned, and when they came
back they brought Otto Aura, an en-
ployee of the Fremont mill. He obtain
ed from neighboring house another
ladder long enough to reach to the bot
tom of the well, and in few minutes
had helped both mother and child to
safety above. - Seattle Post-Intelli-

Black Hills A. ctivity.

Revival of placer mining on large
scale will soon be inaugurated on the
Grantz placer claim, says the Black
Hills Times, Deadwood Gulch, just
above the flour mill. A lease of the
ground has been secured by Dave Nor
gan, one of our well-known miners,
who was foreman for Mr.. Grantz in
the early '60s, when the claim was
worked with profit. Mr.. Morgan is
thoroughly conversant with the ground
and will work it in novel manner.
He proposes to use teams and scrapers
in removing the surface dirt and old
tailings, to certain depth, and then
sluice erything to bedrock. It is an
admitted fact that there still exists
many thousand dollars worth of gold
in the placer claims of Deadwood
gulch, which can be recovered through
practical and systematic work. Should
some enterprising individual or COR
poration put in bed rcck fume, the
venture would prove highly profitable.

A World-Herald reporter was at

of the village of Bruce, suburb of
Omaha, Neb., and inquired the cause.
Mr.. Andrew Finkenkeler, who was a
member of Company B, of the First
Iowa Volunteers during the war, made
the following explanation SO far as he
himself was concerned:
In July, 1866, while my company
was on the march through to Austin,
Texas, was attacked with rheuma-
tism Of the worst kind in one leg, at
Alexander, Louisiana. Being weak, !
was sunstruck and remained uncon-
scious for several hours. Every sum-
mer since have been unable to stand
the heat of the sun, and have been
compelled to give up my work. There
was in my head bearing-down feel
ing, which increased until it seemed
my head would burst, and it caused a
ringing in my ears, and palpitation of
the heart set in, so that the slightest
noise would set my heart humping.
Several times it has rendered me un-
conscious for from seven to ten hours
at a time. In addition to this rheuma-
tism extended up my entire side until
it drew my head down ON my shoulder.

totally unfit for work.
''For twenty eight years have con-
suited physicians and taken their pre-
scriptions without deriving any mater
ial benefit. My ailments increased in
intensity until was assured that there
was no hope for me. During last
year I went into the butcher business,
but the dampness from the ice used in
creased my rheumatic pains to such an
extent that was not only compelled
TO quit the business, but was confined
to the my house and bed for nearly six
months.

had been entirely cured from the all

the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

chased box. In a week was aston
ished to know that felt better than I
had for six months past, and before I
had used half box the ringing in my
ears began to lessen in volume and fin
ally left me. The pain from the rheu-
matism gradually left me, so that
within one week from the time I took
my first pill was able to sit up in bed.
On January 1st was able to go out
and walk around little. The palpi.
tation of my heart entirely ceased. On
February 9 was so thoroughly cured
that I accepted position as night
