From parties IN the city Tuesday,
we learn that the grading of the
road over the bottom on the south
eide Of the Ma,ais des Cygne bridge
between this city and Rich Hill is
about completed. The grade has
peen thrown up about four feet, the
alm being to place the read above
nigh water IN times of an overflow
1t is an lmpi ovement much needed
aud long neglected. This road which
/, used perhaps as a public higbwa,
more than any In the county, is often
during the year in an impassabl-
condition for weeks at a time, and
the wonder is the county court has
no taken proper action long before
this. We understand, about $1,000
has been expended in making the
grade Now, to make the grade
more durable the court should ap-
propriste sufficient money TO put II
or Is inches of macsdam on it. Sub

ton Treaty. agreed To.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 22.-The
legislative session Of the Senate to-day
lasted but forty minutes, the arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain being taken up thereafter
behind closed doors. In the short open
session nearly 200 bills were introduced.
Many others were reported back from
com mittees. Included in the latter were
the ''free homestead" bill and the immi-
grafton bill, with the provision as to Cana
dian eliminated, both of which were un-
der consideration in the last Congress, the
latter failing to become law owing to Pres
ident Cleveland's veto. The four great ap-
preparation bills which also failed for lack
of Mr.. Cleveland's signature. which were
reintrodu ced and passed last week by the
House, were referred 10 the Com mittee on
ropriations.
The House joint resolution was passed
extending until December next the in
vestiaation as 10 the use OF alcohol in the
arts by joint com mission of Congress.
A resolution was agreed to calling upon

tween this Government and Spain and
between the State Department and Con-
sul-General Lee in regard to The arrest,
imprisonment and death at Guanabacoa,

steps have been taken in the matter. A
similar request was denied by the late

Three good six-round bouts were pulled

bout was between Billy Springfield and

bout was stopped in the sixth round. as
Springfield was very weak and was going
fast.

and though both men were beginning to
show signs of wear at the end of the sixth
round, the fight was fairly draw.

stood George Dixon off for twenty rounds,
and George Holland OF Philadelphia, also
boxed six even rounds and neither was
entitled TO decision at the end of the
bout.

Ke lihan, the Sherburn bank robber and
murderer, will be put on trial at FAR
mount, Mimi, tomorrow. He is charged
with shooting and killing George K. Thor
burn. cashier OF the Bank OF Sherburn.
KeIlihan is willing to plead guilty and re-
ceive life sentence, but County Attorney
Voreis prefers to try the case on its merits.
The Minnesota law makes any one who
conspires to do an unlawful act from
which the taking of life results guilty OF
murder in the first degree and makes
hanging the penalty. H G. Mcmillan OF
Rock Rapids is defending Kelliha1,. The
accused saved the life OF Mcmillan s

have pershed had it not been for the

SUICIDE OF 4! THURMAN.
Man Well-knoWn in Chicago Shoots
Himself in a Hotel at
k0nOSha.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 23.-[Special.l-
James Wallace Knox, the famous turf
man and former owner of 'Nutwood,
committed suicide here between l and 3
o'clock this morning by shooting himself
in the right temple with A caliber Colt
revolver. He had been staying in Ke-
nosha the past year or so, but made his
headquarters most Of the time in CHI
cago.
He came up from that city at l o'clock
in the night and went to the Grant house
and asked for room and there he wrote
a letter to a relative in Indianapolis, and
on card left note requesting any one
who found his body to notify Mrs. Z. W.
Allen or Mrs. Knox, his wife, who is
now visiting Mrs. Allen.
When the porter had gone to bed, and
as he was about asleep, he heard the gun
shot, but thought it was on the street and
made no investigation. The body was
not found until 1880 this morning, when
the porter went to call him. lie was
found sitting in his chair without any
evidence of a struggle. He leaves a
wife and one son. Mrs. Knox is sister
Of Mrs. G. w. Allen, wife of the wealthy
tanner here. The cause of the suicide is
given as dependency over business re-
verses. He was until recently very
wealthy glass manufacturer Of PlttsburS,
Pa. He failed during the pane OF 1871
and seemed entirely unable to regain a
foOthold in the business world.
Relatives here say that the suicide has
been expected and feared for some time
since, as he has made frequent threats OF
late to do so.
Mr.. Knox was born near Pittsbure,
Pa, siXty-one years ago. He served
through the war with a Pennsylvania
regiment, and was captured and served
Il term in Libby prison.
He married Miss Isabella French,
daughter of A. G. French, at that time Il
prominent farmer in Kenosha county,
some thirty years ago. The coroner's in
quest was held this morning. 1t re-
turned verdict Of suicide by Il gunshot
wound inflicted by his own hand. The
remains will be inferred here.

alton of Affe CtiOnS.

Bismarck, n D., Oct. 23-One Of the
most sensational lawsuits in the history
of western North Dakota has been com
menced in the district court here by Mrs.
Urba Parker Dixon against Mrs. j. u.
Bartholomew, wife Of Judge Barthoio-
NEW Of the Supreme court The cause
alleged by Mrs. Dixon for the commence
ment of the action is that her husband S
affections were alienated by Mrs. Bar

the sum Of $4,000.

out the state. Mrs. Dixon was a stem
ographer at the capitol during the last
Legislature and is now one of the fac
ulty of a business college at Moorhead,
Mimi. She is a daughter of the late john
Parker, who was states attorney of EN-
mons county. Mrs. Bartholomew aud
Mrs. Dixon were very friendly UP to
within short time prior to the COM
mencement of the action.
Mrs. Dixon charges that Mrs. Bar
tholomew aided and advised Mr.. Dixon
in the preparation and filing of an action
for divorce; that Mrs. Bartholomew
maligned her to her husband. and that
because of these actions Mr.. Dixon was
not now living with and supporting ms
wife The attorneys for Mrs. Barthol-
omew have demurred, holding that The
complaint does not state sufficient cause
for action, and the demurrer will be
argued next week.
