The Popular Lancers.

The lancers are much the mode this
season. The reason for this is that all
sorts Of novel additions are being intro
duced, which make the dance both
amusing and picturesque. In one Of
these new features each couple carries a
long pole of bamboo, at the top Of which
is a forked pennant of gay colored silk,
or, in its stead, long streamers Of bright
ribbons are used. The young man who,
with fair partner, figures in the lead
ing couple" has silver whistle attach
ed to ribbon which crosses his shoul-
ders. This whistle sounds as the music
strikes up, and it is the signal for the
lifting of the lances. In every alternate
figure the lances are carried by the
young women. After all the figures
have been gone through the dancers fall
into line and march about the room.
The lances are carried away as souvenirs
by the young women. st Louis Globe

LUCKY IDAHO TAILOR.


Stock Given Him For . Suit Of Clothes
Makes His Fortune.
About two weeks ago a miner offered
Morris Yenzel, a Moscow Ida. tailor,
handful Of mining stocks for a suit of
clothes. Yenzel refused and said that
five years ago miner gave him 3, 600
shares Of stock, then supposed to be
worth 1 cent share, for suit of cloth
ing. He never realized anything ON the
stock.
A few days later Yenzel went to the
suspended Moscow National bank for
an insurance policy and some other pa
pers deposited. there, among which he
found the missing 5000 shares of Leroi
stock, now quoted at $8 per share, with
accrued dividends
The Leroi mine owners have been ne
gotiating with an English syndicate for
the sale Of the property, but the latter
declined to accept the mine without the
transfer Of every share of stock so far
issued. This lot of 5000 shares was
long advertised for, but pow there will
be no obstacle to the sale of the proper
ty if the owners come to Yenzel's terms.
He demands $50 share, or 800, 600
for the whole, and will probably get it,

OAK ISLANDS MYSTERY.
A Solution Likely to BE Found by N0va
Scotians Hurting For Treasure.

A Solution Likely to BE Found by Now
Scotians Hurting For Treasure.
Oak island is situated at the head Of
Malone bay, Nova Scotia, four miles
from the town of Chester. About the
close of the last century the curiosity of
some prospectors was aroused by a cir
cular space near the eastern end of the
island In the center of this stood an
oak tree with marks and figures ON the
trunk. The surroundings were such that
shaft was sunk, and discoveries were
made which led to the formation of a
company. It was suspected that treas.
ure was buried there, and the company
proposed to get it. Subsequent digging
proved beyond doubt that the place had
been dug up before. Oak platforms and
stone marks were discovered at regular
intervals till q depth Of 100 feet was
reached. Then the water poured in at
such a rate that the work had to be
abandoned.
Some years afterward borings were
made there. The augers passed through
oak foorings and other distractions,
among them what was supposed to be
metal. The augers also brought to the
surface some gold links. No means
could be devised at that time by which
the water could be kept out of the mine,
and little or nothing was done till last
fall, when another company was organ
lied to dig up the treasure. 1t has .
capital stock of $50, 900, among the
stockholders being residents Of Halifax,
Amherst and other Nova Scotia towns.
Two pumps worked by powerful engine.
were installed, and the work is now be
ing pushed.
Among the recent discoveries made is
sluiceway leading from the site Of the
diggings to the shore, several hundred
feet distant. By damming this it was
found that the water in the mine was
checked. That there is a mystery about
the island no one can doubt. Oak walled
underground sluices are not accidental.

THE NEXT SENATE.


Tariff and Finance.
It is worth while to inquire how the
senate is likely to stand with reference
to the complete economical questions in
Which tie country is interested. AS for
a protective tariff, ii is believed the SEN
ate will have votes for protect ion as fol-
lows: The "A straight Republicans,
silver Democrat (Mc Emery of Louisi-
anal, 2 silver Republicans Cannon of
Utah and Mantle Of Montana) and per
haps of the Populists and Independ-
ents. On the question Of protection,
therefore, the senate is likely to stand:
For protective tariff, 90; against q
protective tariff, 40.
On the question of the free coinage of
silver, standing alone and not brought
forward to interfere with tariff bill or
any other Republican policy, it is be-
lieved the antisilver forces will consist
of the following: Forty of the "A straight
Republicans and the @ antisilver Demo-
Gratis, dividing the senate as 10 silver on
ubstantially these lines:
Against free coinage Of silver, 46; for
free coinage Of silver, Al.
If the Republicans gain possession of
the organization of the senate, as they
are pretty sure to do before the regular
session of congress, it will be found ex-
ceedingly difficult to get free coinage
bill before the ssnate, except as rider
to some important measure, which will
give the moderate silver Republicans
an opportunity to vote with their party
and against an effort to pass needless
and Ineffective silver proclamation. -

Broken Heads.

A dance at Haberling's in north
ern Hand county Saturday night,
resulted in a row. Two or three OBJ
streperous young men from Faux
county are reported to have attend
ed the dance and filed up on the ex-
tract of hops, after which they would
not be happy without a setto. Mr..
Haberliug, the report says, accom-
modated one of them with a club,
which laid his head open. Then one
of the young men carressed Mr.. Hab-
erling with a chair to the great in
convenience of that gentleman.
Some guns are said to have been in
sight, but none went of. The report
er heard of no arrests, and it is pre-
sumed the boys thought they had a
good enough time. One of the in
iured men was unconscious for sever
al hours.

Fell Upon a PitcEfork

L. II. kintigh, of Pleasant Valley
township, was seriously injured Sat
by haying a pitchfork run into him.
He was hauling hay. and had lust
brought a load TO his home where he
was stacking. In turning to driveto
the stack his load upset throwing
himself and a fork to the ground.
The fork went end ways with tines
up, and Mr.. Kintigh was impaled up
on it. Two or three tines were run
into him sideways, one of them going
in at the stomach and passing out of
his side near his heart. This one was
broken off, and he was unable to
pull it out. Another gouged into
his arm. He got up, walked into his
house, and sent for a neighbor, John
Mace, who came and pulled the fork
tine out of him, after which he was
quite sick. Lloyd Fry came to town
for DR.. Lane, and the wounded man
has since been getti ne alongall right.
1t was a narrO escape.
