WITNESS is MISSING.
Raises New Point in Criminal
Proceedings.

Complaining witnesses have been known to
fail to appear when needed in the police
court, but such a thing rarely happens IN
the criminal branch of the district court
1t occurred yesterday, nevertheless, in the
case of the state against James Dougherty,
which was called for trial before Judge
Lewis in the forenoon Dougherty IS un-
der joint indictment charging him and Joseph
Gahagan with indecent assault. Miss Stella
Maslowska is the complaining witness
The case was originally set for Wednesday
upon which day Miss Maslowska was pres
ent in court about noon time, but 1t was
not reached until yesterday forenoon, shortly
before II o'clock. Though the complaining
witness was not on hand, County Attorney
Anderson and Stan Donnelly, the attorney
for the defendant, began the work OF select
ing a jury. When court adjourned for the
noon recess nine jurors had been accepted,
but no sign of the complaining witness ap-
peared. Resuming at p m. two more Jurors
were secured making eleven in all. Sui
there was no appearance on the part OF tne
complaining witness.
Then it was that the county attorney
deemed it advisable to call halt, as ne 1oTe-
saw that if the jury completed the de-
PENDANT would then be in jeopardy, and the
state would be compelled to go on with the
trial perhaps without its chief and prac-
ticalIy sole witness. Accordingly, the county
attorney moved that the eleven men already
accepted as jurors be dismissed, and that the
court continue the case for reasonable time
In support of his motion the county at
torney submitted his own attidayit, as well
as that Of Deputy Clerk Sundberg. Inc
county attorney swore that Miss Maslowska
was the states principal witness. and that
she was in the court room the day before
pursuant to a subpoena duly served on her
bv the sheriff. Deputy Clerk Sundbergs al
fdavit was to the effect that he saw the
complaining witness in the court room the
day before at about noon, and that he told
her to remain there during the afternoon.
That was the last he saw of her. The sher-
iff's second return was also submitted, stat
ing that the young woman could not be found
at her home 6O7 Maryland street, where she
had not been since o'clock Wednesday night
and that she was not to be found within the
county
Attorney Donnelly, in opposing the county
attorneys motion, insisted that there was
nothing on the court record thus far to show
that any witness had failed to put in an APP
pearance, and that it was the duty OF all
parties to proceed and complete the jury
Then, after the opening, if one witness was
called. and failed to respond, the record would
show such failure.
Judge Lewis reserved his decision on the
motion until 10 a. m. today, to which hour
he adjourned the criminal court. In the
meantime the prosecution is diligently search
ing for Miss Maslowska. Should she put
in an appearance the trial will proceed as
soon as another juror is accepted. Other
wise. Judge Lewis must decide the question
presented, which is a new one.

WHY NOT PLAY HEREf
Lexington Park Wants the Univer-
sity Football Game.

81 do not wish to be misunderstood, said
E. B. Smith yesterday, "as criticising the
management of Lexington park, but it seems
to me that a reasonable effort should have
been made to secure the big Minnesota-Wis-
consin football games for st. Paul. We have
the finest park here that there Is in America.
and it seems a shame that any great event,
such as I have mentioned, should be brought
off in a stuffy little cheese box, like the
Athletic park, at Minneapolis. The Univer-
sity of. Minnesota is a state institution, and
game as Minneapolis, especially as we have
park here suitable for such contest"

Memorial Day of ia.

A brief sketch of how the centennial
Memorial Day of 1876 was kept by the
House of Representatives at Washington
may be of interest. 1t was the enterprise
of Mrs. Mclean Kimball, the widow of
the first man to scale the walls of Chap
ultepec" in the Mexican war, and who
lost his life in the civil war, Lieut.. Col.
kimball. With an enthusiasm worthy
the widow of hero, and of ancestors
who fought gloriously in the Stuart rebel
lion. the old Scotch McLeans, Mrs. Kim
ball decided that it was due to the heroes
of America that they should be honored
ut the nations headquarters. Securing
the services of the pupils of the Franklin
school, Mrs. Kimball made her plans very
quietly, and early on the morning of May
80, 1876, she marched to the capitol with
thirteen little girls dressed in the national
colors representing the thirteen original
States and with one small boy dressed In
sailor costume, who walked in advance,
bearing the Stars and Stripes. There in
a room placed at her disposal, Mrs. Kim
ball and her little band spent the morn
ing in making wreaths and decorations
from the flowers previously given to
them, a liberal supply coming from the
Conservatives of the White. House. They
next carried these to the old hall of rep
resentatives. where they decorated the
statues of the sons of the republic, fol-
lowed by large gathering of friends and
strangers who watched every movement
in reverent silence. Thence they passed
to the House of Representatives, where
the famous portraits of Lafayette and
Washington adorn the wall. Mrs. Kim
ball there fastened a magnificent star of
roses sent from the White House over
the head of Washington, while over La
fayette she suspended basket of blue
and white feur de lis, also gift from
the Presidents family.
This graceful recognition of the centen-
nial heroes was carried on at the same
time that the later comrades were receiv-
ing their ovations in the silent shades OF
Arlington, at the Soldiers Home, and in
other cemeteries

No More Indian Soldiers.

The last of the Indian companies of
the United States army, stationed at
Fort Sill, o. T., is to be disbanded
This marks the end of the effort to
make efficient soldiers out of the war;
like aborigines of the frontier. AT first
the experiment bade fair to be success
full. Several companies, both of cavalry
and infantry, were organized in COM
mand of white officers who had mani
tested particular friendliness for the
Indians. The young braves liked the
jaunty uniforms, and promptly mas
tered the intricacies of military evolu-
tions. They became men of mark in
their tribes. But soon the rigid dis
cipline and the enforced absence from
their homes and families became irk-
some. They began to neglect their
duties and to appear first Indifferent.

the Indian troops and companies have
been disbanded until there remained
only the command at Fort Sill, COM
posed of fifty of Gefonimo's Apache
warriors. Though they will, cease to
be regular soldiers of the United States,
these Indians will not leave the mill
tary service. They will probably be
retained, as other former soldiers have
been, as scouts, in which capacity the
red braves have had ample experience
in our Indian wars, and, indeed, have
proven themselves Indispensable auxil
iaries.-Boston journal.

Creation of Silver.

The formation of silver mines is one
Of the most interesting processes Of ma
ture. 1t must be remembered that the
earth's crust Is full of water, which
percolates everywhere through the
rocks, making solutions of elements OBJ
tained from them. These solutions
take up small particles of precious
metal which they find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions In question are
hot, the water having got so far down
as to be set boiling by the internal heat
of the globe. Then they rush upward,
picking up the bits of metal las they 60
Naturally heat assists. the performance
of this operation. Now and then the
streams thus formed pass through
cracks or cavities in the rocks, where
they deposit their lodes of silver. This
is kept up for great length of time
perhaps thousands of years-until the
pocket is filed up. Crannies permeat-
ing the stony mass in every direction
may become filed with the precious
metal, or occasionally chamber may
be stored full of it.

The owner of a valuable Newfound-
land dog in New Orleans sought dam.
ages from railroad company for killing
it. The case turned on the validity OF
an act of the Louisiana legislature,
recognizing dogs as personal property
only when placed on the assessment
rolls. The supreme court sustains the
law and refuses damages, since the dog
was not assessed, incidentally defining
the law in regard to dogs in general as
follows: "The very fact that they are
without protection of the criminal laws
shows that property in dogs is of an
imperfect or qualified nature. and that
they stand, as it were, between animals
ferae naturae, in which, until subdued,
there is no property, and domestic ami
mails, in which the right of property is
complete. They are not considered as
being upon the same plane with horses,
cattle, sheep and other domestic ami
mails, but rather in the category of cats,
monkeys, parrots, singing birds and
similar animals kept for pleasure, Curl
osity or caprice. Unlike domestic ami
mails, they are useful neither as beasts
of burden, for draft, nor for food"

Those who raise large numbers Of
chicks find that the early ones thrive
better than those hatched late. The
cause is due to the fact that the late
hatched chicks are attacked by lice
during the warm days and do not grow.

The best watermelons are grown
when the undertakings is good. Make
the hills now and fill in with manure,
first digging small pits, using the
coarse manure, which will more readi-
ly permit the water to go down from

Parsnips are highly relished by all
kinds Of stock and can remain in the
ground during the winter. They pro-
duce from 400 to 1000 bushels per acre,
according to soil and cultivation. If
only a small plot is devoted TO them
they will be found welcome addition

A New Butter Packaee-

A description is given, in an Austria
lian paper, of package which is said
to do away with the necessity of cold
storage of butter. The butter is first
packed in box made of ordinary
glass, the corners being fastened with
gummed paper. A layer of plaster of
paris about one inch thick is placed
over the glass box, and the brick is
then wrapped in paper especially pre-
pared for the purpose. AS the gypsum
is non-conductor of heat, it is claim
ed that butter so packed is not injured
by any changes Of temperature. But
ter packed in this manner in Melbourne
was sent to South Africa, about 100
miles, and arrived in the same condi-
ton as when shipped. The cost of this
method of packing is said not to ex-
ceed 2 cents per pound of butter. The
butter Is sent as common freight,
which results in a great saving of ex-
