Look Like Trumped up Claims.

Trumpet up claims against j. T. NJ.
Pierce, or claims that appear to be
trumped up, are coming to light al.
most daily and are being placed on
record. A few days ago a mortgage for
$4,000, purporting to have been ex-
ecuted in 1892, was filed for record.
This document has the appearance Of.
having been recently made. 1t IS
wonderful how many deeds and mort.
cages have appeared since Pierce lied
to South America. Some OF these in.
struments are curiosities and will
cause trouble for somebody before
the matter is settled. A mortgage
of $50, 600 was also recorded against
the three miles of roadbed and depot
OF the Yankton and Norfolk railroad,
being all there is of this road on this
side OF the Missouri river.

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLISM.


THE millionaires of California seem
to be fated with respect tn their sons.
The boys, in large majority of in
stances, either turn out bad or die off,
and the fondest dreams of their par
ents are dashed to the earth. The
latest case is that of young Mackay.
His father had planned to have him
take up the management of the vast
estate that has been piled up, but the
youth has lost his life while following
scheme OF amusement in foreign
land.
AFTER all the ado about the Cor
bett- FitzSimmOns' mill which the
newspapers have been inflicting on a
patient public. the latter will prob
ably not have the pleasure to learn of
the defeat OF one or the OtherOf these
bruisers, as the fight is practically off.
Speaking of pugilists reminds us of a
suggestion by Rathdrum man in re-
gard to legislation on prize fighting
He would legalize prize fighting upon
these conditions: The contestants
must fight with gloves plated with
iron and heavy iron knuckles, and it
either Of them killed the other n
the fight, the survivor to pay the pen
atty by being hung. This he believes
would put QuietuS to the tin-hOrn
prize ring business, it not to all kinds,
as it would require more courage to
enter the ring under these conditions
than the average pugilist possesses.
This may seem pretty tough on the
pugilists, but the profession should
not be legalized in much milder
form than the above. if at all. Box
ing is nice sport and a very healthy
exercise, but prize fights to finish in
the prize ring is disgrace to civillza-
tiOn.

An Ancient Alligator.

An alligator has just been killed in
Louisiana that is known to have been
100 years old. In 1773 the great-great-
grandfather of the present owner OF
the plantation on which this alligator
was killed purchased the plantation.
His first work was to rid it Of alliga-
tors. He raided a family of alligators
and killed all but one, who escaped,
leaving q portion of his tail. This ALI
gator wa seen from time to time and
recognized because part of his tail was
gone. The alligator was tanned,
but in q general way received the care
and protection of each member of the
family through the four generations.
A visitor to the plantation saw a great
alligator lying on the bank. He raised
his gun, but it required several shot
before the animal was killed. He was
delighted with the success, when his
host came up and showed his SORROW
at what his guest had done. The ALI
gator was buried on the banks of the
stream, the entire family attending
the obsequies. New York Observer.

go through either her skirt or her

l was astonished, for actually the
dress seemed as fresh and new as 1t was
the first day she wore it-not a bit
drawn up in the skirt as mine which
is interlined with hair cloth, was the
day it got wet. So | asked Sue how
she managed to keep it so nice.
Sue said all she did was to shake the
water off as well as she could, ant
when she got home she hung the skirt
up to dry by the loops on the waist
band and the waist by the sleeve loops
and let the dress alone till she got ready
