This is the second day of the triai of D H.

 Ruf King was then examined. He testified that Dr. Mason came to Sheridan in 1881, and that Battle Mason was born in 1883 The year was impressed by several occur rences. It was particularly dry. Then he was breaking particularly wild mule, and pr. Mason talked to him while he was thus en gagged.

 Rebels.

Washing ton, May 5 The war dn- partment is satisfied from the dis patches received from Gen. Otis yesterday that the American com mander nas prt aside the insurgent temporizing over peace and has turned hls attention to most az gressive tactics. The wisdom of this course was fully approved by officials here who have foreseen that the rebels needed further chastise- ment in order to bring them 10 realizing sense of their position, The early dispatches from Gen. Otis clearly defined the general plan of his latest movement He is moving in two main columns, Gen MaeAr- thur pursuing straight forward over a nine mite stretch of county be. tween CaIumfit, and the latest rebel stronghold, San Fernando, ard May. Gen. Lawton directing strong force under Col. Sumner to prevent the insurgents from retreating from San EernanGo into the mountains to the north.
 The later dispatches showed there had been hot work in the execution of this movement, particularly in Gen. MacArthur's advance on San Fernando The deteat of Luna al San Tomas and t1e scattering of the insurgent forces leaves MacArthur fo4r miles from San Fernando with clear road before him. He will take the city today, accord ,ng to Gen. Otis plan. The taking of towns is no longer s.ooked upoG by the authorities here as of chief mo- ment, the main consideration being to intercept the insurgents.
 Gen. Lawton's movement north ward today to Mansia is designed to keep a body of American troops to the north of the rebels and between them and their line of retreat to the mountains. A successful execution of this move will leave the insur- gents well surrounded on the north though there is a stretch of about seven miles from Mamsin to the Rio Grande river along which the rebels are retiring. If the rebels do succeed in getting into the mountains, war department officials believe they cannot continue orgar- ized resistance as the mountain localities afford much less oppor- tunities for sustena1ce than the rice lands along the foothills and bottoms. The authorities here are well satisfied with the manner in which our forces are placed

No Time Like Now .

The new lines of railroad now in pro-
cess of construction by the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway Company are at
present affording opportunities to get IN
and grow up with a country that is sure
to grow, that are not likely to occur a.
gain.
The new lines penetrate the richest
regions in Western Iowa and Minnesota,
where there was ample room for rail-
road. The towns along these new lines,
located and managed by the Railway
Comp any, are today offering rare chanc-.
es for investments or locations. The
country is rich and the towns will sure
ly thrive.
Prices of lots are still low. Investors
and business men of all classes will find
it to their advantage to investigate.
The choice timber lands of Northern
Wisconsin and Michigan are also we'll

In reading the novels Of Charles
Dickens one is often tempted to &C.
cuse the famous master Of gross ex-
aggeration in attributing to the lowli-
est Of his characters-such, for in
stance, as Sloppy in "Our Mutual
Friend''-qualities of the most heroic
nature. But now and then there are
incidents which give striking proof
that the, great novelist was not ex-
aggerating, but was just little more
attentive to the peculiarities Of the
common herd than most of us are. It
Is said that the boys in the orphan
asylum at Sparkill, N. Y, which was
recently destroyed by fire, were of the
type Of the tough street waif. Yet
they risked their lives to save the youn-
ger children with all the courage of
one Of Ouida's nonchalant guardsmen.
It is wonderful what an immense
amount Of nobleness there is In our
species If there Is only the proper call
to bring it out. The great problem for
those who hope to elevate the lower
orders is to find out what will call
forth the good qualities which are
latent In them. ~. -: +. a.>.'.. -. -. ..

The Ring Finger.

~ To the question often asked why, the
marriage ring should be placed on the left
hand many, answers are given. Some say
because the left hand is much less used
than the right, and therefore the ring is

In the British Apollo Of 1888 it is stat

Blowing the organ.

I never hear the organ at Ascension
church without remembering a story a
clever little woman who was organist
there for several years, used to tell. She
is not In Washington these days, by the
way, for she gave up being an organist to
marry handsome young surgeon in the
army, and since then she has been, like
all other army people, a polite wanderer-
on the face of the earth. ! -.
It was while she was organist at As
cension church that something or other
happened to disable the boy whose busi-
ness it was to pump the organ, and she
set out to find somebody to take his
place for, the next Sundays service.
Her laundress had likely boy. Of ap-
parently sufficient strength to keep the
great organ going, and the young organ
list asked for the loan Of him. Nanny
gave her consent, but reluctantly. i
"1'm within for Jim to try it, Miss Mel
lie," she said, but I'm kinuh 'fraid he
can't: do it, He's got cold, and don't
know whether he can blow the organ or
not: He's mighty short Of breath, Jim
is. "-Washington Post. !:
