Perhaps, says the Minneapolis Trib-
une, if Mr.. Pettigrew were TO follow his
own advice and withdraw from the
senatorial fight at Pierre, a result might
be reached without further demoraliza-
tion of the fusion forces. But it is not
Pettigrew tactics TO make any conces-
sions in the interest of harmony. Rule
or ruin is his motto and while it took
his rolicv more than ten years to
bring the republican patty to defeat, it
threatens to wholly wreck his new
allies inside OF a year.

Why should we wish to go away
To prospect on the western shore,
The voice Of wisdom bids us stay
Where plenty soon will MI our store.
Mid the many scenes on memory's walls
There are two pictures hanging yet,
The name OF one my mind recalls,
Is Joy, tie other Is regret.
Our camp was In the valley green.
Where tall pines wave and waters glide,
And higher up our tunnel seen,
And there full long We did abide.
Far to the west within our view
A mountain rose with towering height,
And as We gaZed It's grandeur grew
In the sunsets glow glorious sight.
Long we had toiled with sturdy viii
In granite ro:k, till courage fled;
There must be mineral In that hill,
Let's move our camp, my partner said.
We packed our mules at break of day
Like pilgrims to the Holy Land;
Before US wide desert lay,
We canped that night in the burning sand.
Next day we reached that wondrous mound.
Aud swiftly climbed Its rugged height,
No float, no mineral stain was found.
And desolation met our sight.
An ancient river whose bed was dry.
And rattle snakes and scorpions dire,
a barren waste did greet our eye
With not sand scorching like fre

Our willing mnles did run q race.
And tarried not until the smoke
Arose In our old time camping place.
How sweet the water seemed that night.
And welcoming pine pumes bending low
Bathed IN the moon beams silvery light
That softened All around below.
Let US try another blast, said.
Aud we drilled % hole la that granite gray.
We hred the shot, the rock was red,
Right where we'd quit we struck our pay.
The ore was rich, our work was done,
Prosperity our abiding guest,
And down where the rippling waters run
Our cottage rose and faced the west
That glorious mountain still we faced.
And heard it praised by all our friends;
Then We told OF our trip TO that horrid place
And marked the enchantment that distance

And thus the giaInor that distance brings,

Raceivar Assumes Charpa.

The bonds Of the receiver OF the Da-
kota Hot Springs company property
were approved by Judge Gardner the
forepart Of the week, says the Star Of
the 18th inst, and he assumed the
duties of the office on Wednesday. He
at once proceeded to take possession of
the property. At the Evans Hotel he
found Jas. Dowd in charge during the
temporary absence of II. ID. Clark, who
represents the Sioux City Safe Deposit
and Trust Co. Mr.. Curtiss informed
the employees that he was in charge, and
they were now in his employ as re-
ceiver. Mr.. McClung was placed in
charge by Mr.. Curtiss. Col. Evans
shortly appeared upon the scene, and
very naturally didn'; bit like the turn
affairs had taken and he would see
about it when Mr.. Clark returned. He
was pretty gruf and uncivil to the peo
pie who had thus wantonly, ruthlessly
and with malice aforethought entered
upon that domain, and the atmosphere
seemed ominous. Mr.. Clark arrived
after while-this being one of those
whiles that seem long-and he simply
declared that he still had possession as
agent for the Sioux City company, and
quietly and in a gentlemanly manner
sought to officiate as before. Receiver
Gurtiss. with an assurance that was
graceful, repeated his claim for authori-
ty over the possessions and wanted none
but his own representative recognized
in the business that might incidently be
transacted. All parties concerned
seemed to pass comfortable night
lounging about the Office eyeing each
other, and Thursday morning when the
Star man called at the hotel Messrs.
McClung and Clark sat side by side
behind the Office counter, each absorbed
in reading a daily newspaper-appar-
emily oblivious of the aw full responsible
ty resting upon them. Thus time
dragged its monotonously slow length
along, and up to the time of going to
press. Thursday afternoon, 20 new de
velopments have occurred.
1t is expected that mandatory in.
structions may be received by the re-
ceiver at any moment from the Judge,
while the parties representing the other
side are looking for Col Swan Friday
morning. and say that until their attor-
neys arrive they cannot declare their
intentions. In the meantime the hotel
is running as smooth and nice as ever,
with Chef Nicholson at the life.giying
end Of the institution.
LArER-Since the above was in type
II. ID Clark, as agent for the Sioux City
Safe Deposit and Trust company, was
arrested and taken before Justice
Pomeroy who placed him under bonds
of $3.50 to appear before him Saturday
morning for hearing upon the charge of
contempt of court. MIR. Clark immeui.
ately presented the proper legal security
Since which time. up to the hour Of
going to press. Receiver Curtiss has
been in possession.

THE BODY IDENTIFIED,
But the Coroner's Jury Did Not Decide the
 Cause of Death

Special to The Age-H raid.
 Montgomery, Oct 25.-The poor Irish man who was found dead near the Washington ferry road yesterday after noon has been identified as Timothy Lynch. of the Montgomery, Tuscaloosa and Memphis railroad. Justice of the Peace Powell. the only justice of the peace who could be found in the city, summoned jury and late last night went out into the country, and after searching, found the body.
 The jurys verdict was that the man came to his death from natural causes, the verdict being based on the fact that no injuries were found on the body. Lynch has been suffering from bowel trouble of late and was drunk on Satur- day. Whether he died of diseased stomach or too much whisky or of yell low fever was, of course, not in the province of the jury to determine.

 Equality, Ala. Oct. 25.-The circuit court of this (Coosa) county was in ses- son the vast two weeks. During the first week there was novel suit arising from the appointment of J. M. Nolen as tax commissioner to assess the taxes of this county appointed by Gov. Johnston, as he had suspended s. L. More in conse- auence of the condition of his books
 They each put up their notices to as- sess, and MT. More brought suit against MT. Nolen, the appointee, in the circuit court After arguments by Ed. Jones, of Montgomery, for MT. More on the con- stituionality of the appointment, and Judge J. F. Cobb and r. L. Smith for Nolen, the judge decided the appoint ment was unconstitutional, thereby sus- tainging MT. More.
 The case goes to the supreme court.

ACTORS A CENTURY AGO.

Augustus Filon, a Frencnman who has lived all his later life in London, has just published history of the Victorian drama. Like most Frenchmen. he does not think the English stage has drama of it's ownt-'all the plays which have positive merit being nrara adaptations from some foreign language, chiefly French He net consider the United States at all-which is not remarka ble considering that our native plays do not pretend to give any account of our na- tional life. But, apart from the some what technical treatment of subjec which is sixty years old in part, he gives a pretty picture of what the English stage was i'm the provinces century ago, possibly for the purpose of showing how little chance there was for any thing good, in the artistic sense, coming from conditions bad.
 There were few theaters in Englands s metropolis given up to farce and melo- drama. But. outside of London, there was a curious system, peculiar to the soil. Just as the judges of assize tray eled from point to point, administering justice, just so the companies of players migrated from town to town. limiting their journeys to a certain circuit, for all the .woiii1 like their legal brethren. There was ITO easy way of raching the capital and thousards of persons spent their lives without being able to com pare the country with the city stage. if it had not been for these stroling play CTS. for much the greater part of Britain there would have been no theater at all. It was, of course. the ambition of the provincial actor to obtain a hearing on London boards; but 1t was seld m ind cd that he earned the right for him-enf, and the privilege of doing such thing was never accorded. As a result the actors and actresses in the country fcrmod class by themselves-and a class which in it's nYsrners and customs is as inter- esting as it Is obsolete. sres
