ard daughter, Mr.. Frank and Miss
Mary, Friday evening to entertain
their young lady and gentlemen
friends. The rooms appeared hand
some and were fragrant from the

rounded out in its fullness by the pres
ence of bright faces and beautiful cos
tunes worn by the young ladies. The
evening was spent with music and
games, progressive quotations being the
most popular and Miss Riley and Mr..
Beckwith proved SO efficient in their
knowledge of the sayings of great
writer's that they were awarded the
first prizes while Miss Pearl Harker
and A. B Hall were contented with
BOBBY prizes. Late in the evening re-
freshments were served, which made a
successful closing feature. Mr. and
Miss Windle proved themselves de-
lightful entertainers and their guests,

A RAIN COMPARISON.
More Rain in Four Months of 1895 Than
i'll Twelve of 1894.

in Twelve of 1894.
That rainfall in South Dakota comes
in peculiar quantities is evidenced by a
comparison of four months of this wear
with the twelve months in 1894. AS
every rybody is aware last year was an ex-
ceptionally dry year and the rainfall for
the entire year amouted to 9.l2 inches.
Commencing with March, 1895, as be-
ing month of some moisture, there was
precipitation of 095 inches, in April
there was 2.2S inches, in May the mois-
ture fell Off a little and only GA inches
OF rain fell, but in June, that month
which is the most trying on crops, and
when generally moisture can hardly be
depended upon, the precipitation was
unusually heavy it amounting to 4.6S
inches, making total of 9.15 inches.
With at least five months OF the year
left there ought to be sufficient mois-
ture in the ground next year to raise
splendid crop, if the conditions are IN
any way favorable

BIG GAME BAGGED.
High Police officials of New York In
dicted-Young Gi1roy Angry.

NEW YORK, Feb 16-Officials Of the
district attorneys Office were mute to-day
when asked as to the truth Of the story that
ex-Mayor Gilroy, Inspectors Williams, Nc
Avoy and Mclaughlin had been indicted by
the extraordinary grand jury which yester-
day adjourned to March 4. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Lindsay, who with Special
Deputy District Attorneys Rollins and Fox,
has been acting in an advisory capacity to
the grand jury, refused absolutely to dis
cuss the matter. No indictments were
handed in to Justice Ingraham yesterday
when the grand jury adjourned and it is
not considered likely that they will be
handed up before the grand jury recon-
yenes on March 4. AT that time it is expect
ed that from fifty to seventy-fiye indict-
ments, some of them of persons high in
authority, will be presented.
Thomas +. Gilroy, jr., SON OF ex-AIayor
Gilroy. who, 1t is claimed. was indicted by
the Oyer and Terrniner grand jury yester-
day, called at the district attorneys office
this morning. He was laboring under con-
siderable excitement and was vehement in
his denunciation of article in morning

HAYWARD MURDER TRIAL.
objection Made to n StenOErapher's q
Evidence-Testimon of Doctors.

MINNEAPOLIS. Feb 16-The defense in
the Hayward murder trial came up smiling
to-day after the staggering blow dealt it
yesterday by liveryman Wilson'S evidence.
The reason for the smiles lay in the conf
dence that the first witness this morning
would shatter the evidence of Claus A.
Blixt by his testimony. But there was
slight slip in the calculations of Mr. Erwin
that prevented for a time the full frllition
of his hopes. The witness was Miss Maggie
Wachter, who is the stenographer of Blixts
attorney. On the day before Christmas the
attorney took her into Blixt's cell for the
purpose of taking down statement from
the prisoner. No one else was present at
the time and she took down such words as
the attorney directed. Erwin then read from
a statement imputed to Blixt saying that
he and Adry Hayward had planned the
murder and had gone out to Lake CAL
houn to arrange details the week before.
He asked Miss Wachter if BliXt had made
the statement that he had just read to his
attorney. Before she could answer the
ground that whatever statement had been
made by Blixt to his attorney was inviola-
the evidence ipadmissible, but gave
the defense until Monday to produce au-
thorities which may change his opinion. So
Miss Wachter was dismissed and the skulls
on which the wounds of Miss Cling We're IL
luStfateQ were sent Tor.
Three physicians were put on the stand
by the defense and asked hypothetical
questions bearing on the questions of the
fracture of the skull Dr. G. III. Norred
thought. it highly improbable that the
double fracture had been caused by the
fall from the buggy. as explained by Blixt
DIR. S. Il. Hance thought it next to impos-
sible. DIR. c. Meyers said he had a long
army experience, but he had never known
of case where fall cf three feet like
the one described had produced such
fractures of the skull. Court then adj

ROBBERS OF INDIANS.
Efforts of the Government to Break
Up a Gang of Tricky Traders.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 16.-The Bee tonight
says: "It was given out at the Omaha
federal building to-day that in future Ne
braska Indians are to be paid their an
nuities in cash instead of the customary
supplies of blankets, groceries, etc. This
is said to be the result of the thieving per-
petrated the Indians by traders who
secure their supplies for nothing. 1t is be-
lieved this system will apply throughout
the entire West. The recent indictment of
three men who bought cattle from the
Winnebagoes for trihe and sold the steers
at a handsome profit, has opened the eyes

who have been cheating the Indians for
years, al d a radical change was resolved
on. Hence the subject of paying the IN

clothing and supplies wherever they wish

the present method the laws restrict In
dians from selling trading their sup
plies on a reservation, but. they are at
liberty to dispose of them with inlpunity

alert to snap up such chances. 1t is not
an uncommon occurrence for the latter to
get a new blanket, suit of clothes and a
pair of boots from Indian on 'diStrlbu-
ton day for 81. Grocers and traders also
seize the opportunity, and there is one in
stance where an Indian traded his entire
outfit for sixteen pounds of brown sugar.
The proposed new system of pension is no
increase of expense to the government. The
reservation followers who are said to
be making soft thing out of the present
system, will be the greatest losers If the
new idea blossoms into reality.

to-day, by the unanimous report of the
committee of fifteen, was found to have
been not guilty OF the charge of corruption
in connection with the Hooking Valley rail-
road strike. The committees report said
that Mark Wild, the railroad man who pre-
ferred the charges, is a demagogue and
self-confessed corruptionist. Thereupon a
resolution was adopted extending a vote of
confidence to John Mcbride and ordering
Mark Wild to leave the hall. Mr.. Wild
endeavored to obtain the floor, but the
demonstra tions against him were so pro-
nounced that the presiding officer advised
him to withdraw Immediately, and he did
so. The convention then elected p. H.
Penna, of Indiana, president; Cameron Mil
ler of Ohio vice president, and reelected
Patrick McBryde secretary-treasurer. These
elections were complete vindication of the
men who acted on behalf of the miners
in the settlement of the strike last summer.

John Mcbride said the committee believed
he had been indiscreet in the handling of
the money The vote on the report was 122

DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 16.-Considerable
excitement was caused in financial circles
here to-day when William Mckinley, one
of the best-known mining and timber men
in this section Of the country, made an
assignment to w. p. Lardner, of the Se-
curity Bank. The liabilities are estimated
at about $500,0o0, with assets very much
less The assignment was precipitated by
judgments aggregating s4ao.0oo. which have
piled up against Mckinley since he lost
his grip during the iron boom. The case
OF John Williams. of Chicago. also had
something to do with the matter.
