be the celebration of the opening of
the canal which will connect the Baltic

give the affair that will be do. The
great nations OF the world have sent
some of their best ships to take part in

The American League.

A most interesting meeting was
held at the American League last
evening. While the meetings as a
rule are supposed not to be public,
we can hint that measures will be
taken by the League favoring gen.
eral amnesty of political prisoners.
The League knows its power and it
is safe to say that if it shows its in
huence into the scale the general
pardon now favored by the whole
community will be accomplished.
The indications are that the League
will act in this way and irrespective
of the irreconcilable missionary ele-
ment represented by the Advertiser.
The meeting adjourned till next
Friday.

call the attention of editor Stacker
to the fact that the noble figure
who says "No, Sir" holds his left

which makes it impossible for the
spectator to see if the paw is open
for a consideration or is already
closed-after a consideration. The
suggestion is quite natural to PEG.

must ask the Time in the future

tried to teach her a lesson by stripping

him money to prove up his land,
and then she came on and made
her entr'acte in the town by riding
through the main street, shooting
right and left, until every store in
town closed up. Then she rode away
to the ranch where the man who
claimed to be her husband had settled.
''One day she was out looking over her
possessions when she saw a character
known as Arkansas John herding

land. She galloped toward him and as
she was gaining on him rapidly he dis

then turned and drove his herd to her

Once she encountered a man who held

Fire away, the red jacket is bullet

robbed his wagon. She was arrested
for that and confessed the crime. The
trial was continued frequently, and
finally she got Jail sentence Her last

In Her Death There Passed Away the Re-

Dance House Crowd She Died
as Mendicant.

The dance house. which used TO keep
up with the trail of civilization as the
latter pushed its way to the shutdown,
viii soon be thing OF the recollection.
A traveller from Chadron, Neb-. had
been talking on the changes in the
west and incidentally spoke of the
dance house.
1.-The last one in our town disappeared
some years ago" he said, and the last
noted character in connection with the
institution died and was buried the day
before | left home. She was known in
that section as Red Jacket. She WAS
the terror of the country. Her nick
name grew out of her wearing an old
red Jacket, which she always put on
when she started out on the ram
page. From underneath the fringe Of
the jacket there usually hung from tour
to six navy revolvers and she rode a
broncho as a man would ride. Her body
was put in pine box, and that was
placed on 4 dray, and one man with
shovel accompanied it as a grave
digger and pallbearer. She looked as
'haggard in death as she had for the last
ten years OF her life. She was not more
than 80 years old. She looked 80.
.-She had run the gamut. She had
fallen from the summit to the depths.
She went to Minnesota from New
York state. She was born in the latter
state, and when she left it as the bride
of a banker in Minnesota she was
handsome. intelligent and contented
woman Her husband died three years
after the marriage, and she lived with
her daughter for some time after until
she met another man whom she mar
ried. He was an adventurer. He gal
loped through her fortune and left her
penniless. Then she met real estate
man in Sioux City who pretended to
pity her The woman was in need OF
that. and before she realized 1t, per-
haps. she had compromised herself, and
then he left her with the shame upon
her. Just then they were constructing
the Elilhorn railroad and hard crowd
followed up the tracks. This woman
went along. One night she killed a
man in dance house, and this hard
ened her more than ever. She was not
