THEY NEEDED COOLING.
The city Marshal Breaks Up Loving
seance.-Woman Given Forty-eight
Hours To Leave the City.

A large crowd OF men gathered a
Justice Wilson's court, last Saturday
afternoon, probably expecting some
racy developments, but in this they
were disappointed. Trissy Raimann
was taken down with All attack OF
diphtheria about two weeks ago and
the city health officer determined To
put forth strenuous efforts to prevent
its spread and TO that end instructed
strict quarantine OF the Raimann
family. Disregarding this, Geo. Raj
mann, brother of the girl has been
meeting Mrs. Seymour Aris in an un-
occupied house close by for unlawful
purposes under cover of darkness. a
watch was placed upon them and they
were nabbed, Friday night, by City
Marshal Mitchell and placed in the
cooler" to cool their ardor. When
brought before Squire Wilson, both en-
tered a plea OF guilty and he sentenced
Raimann to twenty days in the city
Jail, and suspended sentence upon Mrs.
Aris, providing she leave the city
within forty eight hours and not return
inside of six months.
This is bad crowd and has caused
the city much trouble and expense.
Mrs Arts is the wife of Seymour
Arts, who was arrested a year ago last
summer for completely with the Thay-
ers in the Chadwick robbery and was
subsequently, sentenced TO four years
in the Marquette prison. She has four
children living and one born since her
husbands arrest, which died. They
have been supported by the city large
ly since that time. Monday, rig was
engaged and they were taken to Hub
bardston where she has father living
and should this result in Kidding the
city of her, it would be considered very
desirable.
Young Raimann is a beardless youth
who is not considered in the least
vicious but whose worst fault is
ndolency, and needs good lesson
which it is hoped this affair will be to

A Famous French Duelist.

The late Marquis de lang le- Beauma-
noir was in his younger days famous as
a duelist. One evening. meeting his
cousin, the Marquis du Hallays, in the
foyer of the Opera, he walked up to him
and, in the course of conversation, re-
marked:
Isn't IL odd, my dear fellow, that,
quarrelsome as you and ! are, we should
never have fought with one another?"
That's true" replied Du Hallays,
"but that can always be remedied. "
And on the strength Of that. the two
cousins met in mortal combat on the
following morning, the encounter re-
sulting in the Marquis de l'Angle- Beau
MANOR having his right hand pierced by
his adversary's rapier, which, while it
rendered continuance of the fight i'm
possible. left the other hand free to
grasp that of his cousin in undiminished
friendship a moment afterward. On an
other occasion, when he was about to
fight duel in which he was entirely in
the night and his adversary in the wrong,
he suddenly discovered that his opponent
was perfect novice in workmanship,
and that he would therefore, have him
completely at his mercy. So he strobe
up to him and, in the presence of 20 or
30 persons, presented the most courteous
and full apology. Almost dumfounded,
the latter inquired why the marquis
assumed such an extraordinary course
Because, he returned. cit would real
ly be too unfortunate if / were to fight
with mazette (greenhorn)." And with
that he made a low bow and then turned
his back upon him. -San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

At the national encampment of the G. A.
r. to be held in st. Paul during the first
week of September the services of a large
number of bands and drum corps will be
required over 100 having participated i'll
the encampment and parades at Louisville.
It is expected that many of the visiting
posts and departments will necessarily em-
ploy bands which are located i'll the Ylcln-
ity of st. Paul, as the expense of bringing
them from their different home localities
would be too great. The committee on
music having this matter in charge asks
that all leaders of bands or drum corps
who desire to furnish music at the time
of the encampment without delay send to
Lieut. Robert l.. Winnie, secretary of the
committee on music, Manhattan building,
st. Paul, statement~giying the number OF
members of their respective organizations,
a description of the uniforms which they
wear the character of music furnished, and
the charge which will be made for their
services per day during the time OF the
encampment.
If they have any peculiarities or adj
vantages in the way of drill, uniform CT
attractive display, it is also desired that
statement of these shall be furnished. Of
made inquiry in regard to music for the
occasion. and it is very desirable that the
committee shall be able, at as early date
as possible, to provide list of musical
organizations from which selections can be
made. You are, therefore. requested to
send in this statement without delay.

A Perfect Sheep Dip.

The improved method of extracting
nicotine from tobacco enables sheep
owners to escape the labor of hauling
and boiling up the bulky stems when
dipping is to be done. The concen-
trated nicotine makes a perfect
sheep dip, as it is the best known slim
ulant for wool as well as sure death
to all insects. If you intend dipping
this year you cannot do better than
write at once to the Skabcura Dip Co.,
Station S., Chicago, for particulars.

When the message of President Cleye.
land on the subject of Venezuela was
published, Dec II, 1895, ii was met
with a powerful sneer by the London
Times. That very able newspaper said
that the suggestion was absurd. The
very thought of arbitration was scout
ed Said the Times: "Arbtrate the dis
puted territory in British Guiana They
might rs we'll ask lis to arbltrate the
coast of Kent" After the Venezuelan
agreement had been announced and
described by Lord Salisbury the Times
said: England admits the principle
that the United States may not only
intervene in disputes with South Amer
lean republics, but may entirely super
sede the original disputant and assume
exclusive control of the negotiations $
This Is a distinguished conversion and
it shows the force of American diplo-
macy. The newspaper which less than
a year ago said that 1t would be as non
sensical to propose arbitration in re-
gard to an English county as in regard
to Guiana admits that Great Britain, in
consenting to arbitration, comedies the
entire claim of the United States relat
ing to the Monroe doctrine and TO the
territorial rights of Venezuela.
