HANGED BY THE NECK.
One Who Underwent the Operation
Describes the Sensations,

one Who Underwent the Operation
Describes the Sensations.
In The Wide World Magazine Rich
ard Hicks, an old time actor, tells of his
narrow escape from being hanged on
the stage of the Queens theater, Dub
lin. He was playing the part of Achmet,
a particularly villainous character, who
after a long career of crime is, to the
general satisfaction of the audience,
captured by two British soldiers and
promptly hanged.
Zone night, while struggling with
my captors, the rope slipped from my
shoulders and knotted itself around my
neck just as l IN being hanled up!'
says Mr.. Hicks. "Never shall I forget
that awful moment. Directly I felt the
tug at MY neck l gave a convulsive kick
and tried to shout 'Stop!' but the word
could not escape from my twitching
lips. l could only make a gurgling
noise. Frantically 1 kicked and strug-
gled. Pain there was none, strangely
enough, beyond a choking, suffocating
sensation, and l could hear the tumul-
tuous applause of the audience, who
We're hugely entertained with what they
imagined was my realistic acting.
"Then a terrible sensation, like mol
ten lead rushing down my spine, per-
yaded my whole body, and l thought
my legs were bursting. l gave another
mighty struggle and strove- ahl how I
%strove--to scream. l seemed to behold a
mighty rush of green water, and my
ears were filled with the roar of a cata-
ract. l have a dim recollection of see
ing a great crimson sun shining dimly
from behind the waterfall, and I can
remember falling Indefinitely through
space!
1.-TWO days nfterward l recovered cen
seriousness, and then l suffered indie
scrlbable agony. The suffocating SEN
sation still remained, but it was &C.
companied by an unquenchable thirst,
not to mention fearful pains in my body
and limbs

A Historic Old COLLEGE.

The first Greek letter society-Phi
Beta kappa-was organized at William
and Mary in 1875, and among the char
ter members were John Marshall, chief
justice, and Bushrod Washington, asso-
ciate Justice, of the supreme court F.;
Spencer Roane, who was considered the
ablest jnrist eve produced in Virginia;
John Brown and Stephen T. Mason,
senators from Virginia; William Short,
minister to Spain and Holland, and
Elisha Parmalee, a native of Massa-
chusetts. who established chapters at
Yale and Harvard when he returned
home. William and Mary was the first
college to adopt the elective system Of
study and the honor system in the gov
eminent of its students. The old build
ing has been restored to almost it's orig
inal condition, although in the DAYS of
its prosperity was double it's present
size. --Chicago Record.

Burlington Goes Into keystone.

Hon. Tobias Castor of Lincoln,
Nebr., the we'll known chief of the
B. 4 NJ. right-of-way men, accom-
panied by others, was in Keystone
the first of the week buying a right
of way for his company for a line
from Hill City to Keystone, says
the Miner. Several parties have re-
ceived their money for the right-of-
way through their claims, among
them being S. C. Smith, 800: Jack
Andrews, $3.50; Charles Patton,
$500, and $3.50 to a party living on
the old Bismarck ranch.
All these parties have claims
along Battle creek between Key
stone and the old Bismarck ranch
and all the claims through which
the right-of-way has been purchased
are along the survey made by the
b. u M. last winter from the Addie
switch down Battle creek direct to
keystone, and not by way of Shcri-
dan and the Blue Lead as has been
reported by some Black Hills news
papers.

A Peculiar Murder Case,

John Ecklund Of Lead has been
arrested on papers gotten out by
Michael Rasmussen, who lives on
Box Elder, for the killing of his l3-
year-old son last winter. The cir
cumstances about the cast are rath-
er peculiar. Ecklund is an employee
of the Homestake Mining Co., and
the father OF a large family. Last
November he went out for a hunt on
Box Elder and while near the home
OF Rasmussen he saw something
move in a clump Of bushes and he
shot at the object. 1t proved to be
the son of Rasmussen, who received
the Shot in the chest and was in
stantly killed. The father threat
ened arrest at the time, but the
matter was fixed up by Ecklund
agreeing to pay a certain amount of
money from his wages each month.
1lle S jury eXOnerated Eek
lund from any blame in the shoot
ing.
The unfortunate affair seemed to
be the starting point for a series of
calamities which have befallen Eek
lund and his family. He has had
continued sickness in his family and
has sustained an injury to his hand
which laid him up for some time.
Because of these misfortunes he has
been unable to meet the promised
to Rasmussen. The war
rant was sworn out several weeks
ago, but was not served. Ecklund
tried to commit suicide once and he
feels terribly over the matter. He
has been bound over to the grand
jury. Public sentiment is wholly in
his favor, however.

What "A Boer Will Eat.

The Transvaal Boer will eat almost
anything in the flesh. fish or fowl line,
for all is grist that ONE to his CASTRO

is voted most ~delectahle by the majority
of the rougher classes: A great square
slice is cut off a loaf made Of coarse un-
sifted meal and covered with a thick
layer of jam. preferably strawberry. A
row of sardines is then placed on top,
and the oil from the sardine box is lib.
orally poured over the whole. A loud
.smacking of lips and other manifesto

pany the disposal Of this delicate bonnie
bouche. But the unsophisticated Boer

Snaps in Sewing Machines,

The day for paying $65 to S75 for
a sewing machine has passed. There
is no need of doing such a thing
unless you wish to help pay the
high salaries of sewing machine So
licitors. You can't afford TODD it.
But talking of sewing machines,
if you want to see the finest line of
them eve shown in Rapid City and
for sale at prices never before nam
ed in the Hills, just drop into the
Tom Sweeney Hardware Company
and see what they've got. A big
line of the famous "New Home"
just received-the finest, prettiest,
most durable and simplest machine
on earth. Prices about half that
charged for Just as good" ma
chimes. These machines are cheap
in price only. There is nothing
IN the sewing machine world that
will excel them, no matter what Il
fancy price you are charged for it.
The fact is the Tom Sweeny Hard
ware Co., is selling better sewing
machines for less money than you
can buy them east today. Don't
let a travelling solicitor for
ANY MAKE of machine to talk you
out of $40 to $50 by charging you a
high price for a machine. You
can't afford it and there's no use of
your doing it. Every dollar counts
and yol only have to let 60 of a few
of them at the Tom SWEENEY Hard
ware Co., to get as good a machine
as human ingenuity yer contrived
and manufactured. Step in and
look over these snaps. Now is the
time to buy.

CONJURED A TREATY,
How Houdin. the Magician. Awed the
Arabs Into submission.

During the French conquest of AL
gerla (lS30-lS33) negotiations for peace
We're entered upon with the sheiks of
certain Arab tribes, and a meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
take place at the French Headquarters.
The French officers received their quests
with great hospitality, and after the
banquet given in their honor, at which
the utmost splendor was EMPLOYED, in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds an adjournment
was made to a large hall, where NJ.
Houdin, the celebrated conjurer, who
had accompanied the French forces,
gave an exhibition of his skill.
They stared in open mouthed wonder
at all the tricks that We're performed,
and a feeling ot W crept over them as
they witnessed the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance of various OBJ
jects. But what appeared to them most
marvellous was the apparent manufac-
ture of cannon balls. M. Houdin passed
round among them a high hat, which
they examined very carefully, but with
out suspecting anything unusual in Ell
ther its make or its appearance. When
the hat was returned to him the con-
jurer placed t on the floor in the mid
die of the stage in full view of his au
dience He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balls apparently with
out number, and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per-
Torrance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
thai 1t was useless to offer any opposi-
ton to an army that could turn out it's
ammunition in so easy a manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert of the wonderful power of the
invaders. Cincinnati Enquirer.
