IN THE AMPHlTHEATER.
Contest Before King Herod and Pom
titus Pilatus In Jerusalem.


titus Pilatus In Jerusalem.
On one of those days he went to the
amphitheater, the circus which Herod
the Great had built, at some distance
from the city. He paid for seat in one
of the npper galleries. On the tiers of
seats below him were all sorts of people,
and far away, on the opposite, side of the
vast arena, the sandy level in the mid
die, he saw, in the lower tier, a canopied
place that was furnished magnificently.
In it there were throne seats, and Oh
them sat King Hcrod Antipas, Pontius
Pllatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, and a number of richly dressed
women, some of whom wore brilliant
tiaras or coronets upon their heads. He
stared at them for few minutes and at
the tremendous throng of people, but
after that he thought only Of what was
going on i'll the arena.
There were chariot races, and Cyril
could not help being intensely excited by
the mad rush of the contending teams,
while all the thousands who looked on
shouted and raved. After the races,
however, came scenes some of which
made him shudder. Therewere foot races
and boxing matches, but these were soon
over, and then there were contests be-
tween pairs Of swordsmen, spearmen,
clubmen, and the like, in which the
light went on until one Of the combat
ants was slain. Close upon the last of
these duels, bands of gladiators marched
In from opposite sides of the arena and
charged each other like detachments of
soldiers upon real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper.
ate, but one side was soon beaten, for
the parties had not been equal. One
party had been trained warriors, pro-
fSssional gladiators, and the other only
t6rmon men, captives taken in recent
Aii of Pilatus' soldiers upon a wild
"a } beyond the Dead sea- They were
&Nfive enough, but they were put there
only 10 be killed for the amusement of
the great men and of the multitude So
Were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed, for they were
driven into the arena, half armed, to
contend as best they could with num-
ber Of hungry lions, tigers, leopards and
hyenas, which were loosed upon them
from their dens under the tiers of seats

CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL
PULMONARY COMPLAINTS.

I. A. Slucum Oners to send Two Bot
ties Free of His Remedy to .ure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles
An Elixir of Life.
Nothing could be fairer, more phian-
thropio or carry more Joy in its wake than
the offer of L. A. Slocum NJ. c., OF 1888
Pearl street, New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure OF consumption and all pulmon-
ary complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles free to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all condi-
tions of wasting. He invites those desir-
GUS of obtaining this remedy TO send their
express and postotfiCe address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach OF death. Already
this remedy, by its timely use, has per-
manently cured thousands of cases which
were given up, and death was looked upon
as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing SO proof-positlve of its beneticent re-
snlts, DR.. S!oCum considers it his religious
DUTY, duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where 1T
will assault the enemy in its CITADEL and, j,
by its inherent potency, stay the current
of dissolution, bringing Joy TO homes over
which the shadow OF the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy-otfered freely-apart
from its inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more so is the peTJect
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured"
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration OF the afflicted, who, for
years, have been taking nauseOus nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends TO live in
more salubrious climes, where the atmos-
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs,
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and, strength in their
hands,, There will be no mistake in send.
ing for these free bottles-the mistake will
be in passing the invitation by.

and thankfulness for this grand invig-
orator. People enjoying perfect health
sometimes wonder at this gratitude;
but whoever has suffered from prostra
tion Of the nerves, of which insomnia
is one of the symptoms, will under
stand how hard it is to overstate the
torment of this condition. And who
ever has been made completely we'll by
Paine's celery compound feels that no
words can overstate the joy and graft
tude such persons feel.
This is the state of mind of thou

persons who have used Paine's celery
compound and been made we'll.
Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result
in the case of her grandchild. One Of
the most conspicuous instances of the
remarkable power of Paines celery
compound over debility is shown in the
relief it has afforded children. OF
course the dose is adapted to the age of

ency to constipation. Pale, puny
children are made vigorous, rosy and
healthy by this incompatible remedy.

REAUrIFUL TROUGH PAINFUL.

We sing "Come. Gentle Spring" and are
often very sorry that we did anything of
the kind, for Spring, though beautiful, is
,1metimes very painful. The very luxury
we enjoy in the return of the balmy air is
the latent source of great many pans
and acnes. 1t is because the nerves are re-
Taxed in this way that they become weak
and an easy prey to sudden attacks of neu-
ralgia; tonic Of cold healthiul air braces
them up and makes them strong against
any such attack, hut the sudden chance to
warmth makes them liable to be preyed
upon by this disease. For this simple
reason the great nerve disorder has many
victims at this time, but We have in ST.
Jacobs OIL something that restores the
tone, vigor and strength of the nerves to
what they had been. The prompt use otit
in these neural.ic attacks of spring time
is sure to be followed by peri CT cure.

AN ENJOYABLE AFFAIR,
ihe Masonic Dancing Party Was One of
the Happicst Events of the Season.

The Masonic Dancing Party Was One of
the IIappicst Events of the Season.
Although in the midst Of Lent the
Masonic dancing party Thursday even
Ing was one of the most enjoyable and
largely attended of the whole season.
AS an extra inducement to bring out
the dancers the Beloit band was Sc
cured for the evening and it certainly
proved strong attraction. After the
hrst number was danced the guests
realized what rich treat was in store
Tor them in the way of good music, good
prompting and an eXcellently arranged
program Of dances which was made M
with particular reference to those who
enjoyed the round dances, for once the
ancient and honored quadrille being
allowed to rest undisturbed after the
first half OF the evening. What made
the party most enhancing was the in
formality of the affair, all seemingly
hent on enjoying the occasion to the
full. The orchestra came up to the
highest expectations and they gave the
fullest satisfaction. Their time was
perfect, their music beautiful even to
listen to, which was rendered with
taste and skill. Dancing was kept up
until after midnight and the last nun ber
was manipulated with more or less
weariness, but the devotees of terp-
sichore yielded with reluctant sigh
to the late hour and worn out nature
and the pleasures of the evening will
long be remembered with gladness.

OF Mrs. w. Fl. Bloss, died Saturday

morning. a few minutes before noon
Mrs. Bloss went to call her mother to
dinner and on opening the door saw
that she had retired. She spoke to
her but received no response and on
going close to the bed Mrs. Bloss rea-
lized that her mother had peacefully
passed to her long home. 1t is pre-
sumed that the deceased died from a
heart affection as she had not COM
planned of any sickness other than a
slight stomach trouble the night pre-
vious to her death. Mrs. Burnsdes
came from New York state about five
years ago and has made her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Boss since that time.
The funeral services over the re-
mains Of the deceased lady were
held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.

An InSnne Case Heard.

The insane board listened to the evil
dence Monday as to the insanity
of Alfred Olson. which was wholly con-
elusive that the unfortunate man was
insane, and the board will recommend
his removal to the asylum at Yankton.
Sunday Mr.. Olson was quiet all day.
other than to indulge in continued talk
ing, but at midnight he became worse
and raved in a terrible manner, throw
ing himself against the iron bars of the
cage and to the cemented floor
John Olson, brother of the insane
man, called at the jail Monday, and was
present at the insane board session.
Mr.. Olson said he could give no reason
for his brothers insanity unless it was
due to severe headaches with which he
had suffered several years. The young
man was quite intelligent and was
highly respected in Lisbon township
ann the people down there very much
regret the unfortunate circumstance.

About the Airlift Investigation,

j. A. Brown and Alderman Me-
Dougall will make report to the citv
council at their next meeting in April
IN reference to their Investigations of
Tue alrll1t on artesian wells Mr.. Nc
Dougal does not think the airlift would
ne profitable venture for Mitchell
from the fact that it will be very ey-
penslve, costing the Yankton ASYLUM.
which uses the process, about So per
day to operate it. Mr.. Brown thinks
that the expense can be reduced quite
good deal owing to the different cir
cumstances surrounding the operation
OF the airlift on the Mitchell artesian
wells. At Yankton it is claimed that
the asylum authorities will recommend
that the airlift be removed from the
wells on account of the expense and be-
cause of the fact that the airlift has
been the means of reducing the volume
OF water from the wells. AS to wheth-
er the airlift will be applicable to
Mltchell's wells or not will be a matter
OF thorough discussion at the next CITY
council session.

The Citizenship League.

The citizenship league held another
meeting at the court house Saturday
evening at which musical and literary
program was given. Remarks were
made by l.. w. Adams, Rev. Mr.. Brad
ford, and A. K. Campbell bearing on
the prohibition question. A sugges.
tion was made that vote Of the lea
que be taken as preference for mayor.
r. 7. Robinson wanted to know what
was the matter with Seaman and the
name seemed to touch a sympathetic
and responsive chord for it was greeted
with applause. A straw ballot for the
mayoralty candidate was collected from
the audience of men, women and child
ren, the result of which will be annouc-
ed at the next meeting of the league.
A mixed quartette, which had been
drilled by Mrs. j. S. Daniels, sang a
selection that was very good indeed
and the young folks have the making
of good musical club.

GOES INSANE ALL AT ONCE.
Alfred Olson, of Lisbon Township, Goes
Suddenly Insane

Alfred Olson, of Lisbon Township, Goes
Suddenly Insane
Word was brought to town Saturday
that Alfred Olson, q young man about
25 years old, had suddenly gone insane
Deputy Brooks, r. L. Tremaine and
Lew Barber started down to Lisbon
township at , o'clock and arrived with
the unfortunate young fellow shortly
after dark, placing him in the county
jail. They had pretty serious time
with their prisoner in getting started
away from the house and he was a con-
stant source OF trouble all the way to
town, requiring the combined efforts
and close attention OF the two men to
keep him in the buggy
Olson has been living with his mother
and sister in Lisbon township and they
had noticed nothing peculiar in his
actions until Thursday when his mind
seemed confused at times and along
toward evening he became violently
insane. Assistance was at once pro-
cured and it required the strength of
four men to get him under control
which they did by tying him to the bed.
His relatives are at loss to know what
caused his insanity, since which time
he has talked necessarily on religious
matters. At first Olson was quite vio-
lent and once made frantic dash for
liberty through window but his
watchers caught him by the foot and
pulled him back again. Saturday he
appeared more quiet and was easier TO
handle. His case is certainly sad one
with small hope Of recovery.
