A Gruesolne Incident.

occurred the only incident approaching
the revolving in connection with an af-
fair naturally gruesome. The knot had
become TANNED and the best efforts OF

about from side to side in the ~unavail-

to cut the rope Superintendent Per-

was undone after several minutes Of
trying work.
The remains were given into the keep

KIMBALI. SOUTH DAKOTA.

Farmer Hines of Drayton. N. D., ha
q new theory regarding the relations
between agricultural products and rail-
ways. He says: Farmers must build
their own railways" In pursuance of
which he has already built forty miles
Of road. Farmers from North Dakota
and Minnesota agreed to work on the
lines for a consideration of SIS per
month, payable in stock OF the company,
50 q o In cash n a supply of pro-
visions. In the northern Minnesota
woods there are at the present time over
200 men cutting trees and laying o u a
o. bed. The o is to run from Graf
ton to Duluth, a distance by the Great
Northern railway of 412 miles, whereas
by the new route 1t will be only 2S1. Mr..
Hines argues that II 1t pays a railroad
capitalized at $4,000 per mile to haul
wheat this distance at IL cents per
bushel, 1t Will obviously be more profit
able to haul 1t over $50 miles of road at
a cost of Z OF 8 cents a bushel. and even
If only 8 cents Is saved, the aggregate
lnoun would be enormous. Mr.. Hines
began with a few thousand dollars and
was regarded as a rank. He promises
at present to have the o graded and
ties laid for at least 100 miles before the
end OF the present summer and people
have confidence that he will keep his
word. The merchants recently contrib
uted a carload of provisions and ship
ped them to Hines camp.
Chauncey NJ. Depew describes in the
New York Sun the beauties and splen-
dor of the roses in California. He says:
I'm some OF the rose gardens In in the
San Gabriel and Pomona valleys there
are grown more tina $50 separate and
distinct varieties of roses. In the well
known Skinner rose garden in Pomona
or two every year, while twenty-five va
rieties Imported from Japan and is
lands in the Mediterranean are in an
nual bloom ten months out OF the
twelve. The wealth of color and the
sense of boundless profusion ~begotten
by a visit to these Southern California
o $ gardens are indispensable. Often
an arbor has been built to support these
climbing roses planted by its side, and
the structure is in a year or two COM
pletely covered by the network of
branches and blossoms, while long
graceful branches droop to the ground.
In the season of flowers, as one stands
at distance and looks at these rose ar
bors, they present a picture of flowing
cataracts of brilliant bloom, and- the
whole fills the air with delicate odors
such as no perfumer has ever been able
to dlstil."

young fellow for the crime Of burglary
He was convicted and sentenced to pris-
on for term Of six years. After SEN
tence, as he was being conveyed by
deputy sheriff from the courtroom to
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which I have often
regarded as q Bridge Of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection of the bridge, landed on
his feet As feet below, and, recovering
himself, made a bold dash for liberty.
He started on a run north on Dearborn
avenue. pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in barn not far from Lincoln park.
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, his eyes flashing, his shirt col
lar thrown open, he looked like a young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to states prison, where he
served his term.
Passing over the Clark street bridge
there required to me the memory of an
other leap-one for life. One evening
about five years ago on approaching that
bridge found it open and crowd Of
about 1900 men and women in state
of excitement. A policeman informed
me that woman had fallen into the
river. What's being done to save herr

chance to reply young fellow rushed
through the crowd, threw off his coat

he and she were landed in safety.

good look at the fellow, and there came

was the same one who had made the

can Indian horse race is the greatest
and most important vent Of the year to
the tribes who participate in it," said
Ramon Thornton Of Cheyenne to re-
porter. 1T is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and I
must tell You that the average Indian 10
remarkably good matchmaker do
not think ever saw q race that was not
productive Of close, exciting finish.
LAS soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose Of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham
pion. When the day of the race arrives,
several large particolored blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
Of which the warriors and chiefs Of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the treasures Of her liege lord.
The head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going so far as
to add his much priced rifle to the
whole. The leader Of the other side then
places articles of similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or q nod. and ii
is bet. So it goes down the line, wa
gering being conducted with a gravity
that BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that its opponents will bet all
they have got. Even little groups Of
ponies are led of to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
loser will walk many weary mile
through binding alkal dust before he
sees the tepees Of his people. But there
is no hagglng, no disputes. no excla
nations of surprise or chagrin at the re-
suit. 1t is impossible, as far as any out
ward demonstration is concerned, to
distinguish the victor from the van
quished, and in that respect think the
American Indian stands alone among

At the Presbyterian Church.

At the Presbyterian church the last
Sabbath the pastor preached from the
text: "Unto us child is born, unto
us child is given, and his name
shall be called Wonderful" The
object of it was to impress upon the
hearers the special significance of the
birth of Christ and the benefits &C
cruing to humanity thereby.
In the evening the thoughts pre-
scented had especial reference to the
New Year. The text was the ques-
tion, "HOw old art thOu?" outlined
as follows:
Introduction: This is question
on often asked and of all ages. Some
refuse to answer 1t; some hesitate in
answering it; and some lie in answer
ing it. Let US ask it in a spiritual
sense:
a. We are old enough to have a
part. 1t is gone, fixed, we cannot
alter it. a. We are not so old but
that we may be older. (3.) How old
we are is not measured by years, but
by knowledge and experience. a. We
are old enough to die.
Conclusion: Some will not look at
these things, age, life and death.
Some look at them only to despair.
Both methods are Christless. The
way to look at them is in the light of
Christ and rejoice that they are so.
Sunday was the time set apart for
the annual election of Sabbath school
officers. Mr.. r. S. Miller, the former
and faithful superintendent was un-
