The figure dcscends slowly, the scytAe

some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
etory called The Fit and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of
dreadful death is a type of large class ofun-
fortunatcs who, entangled in the strangling
coils of an octopus have lost all hope of free
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. If SO. like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware Of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed SO far that the
sufferer notices a weakness of the hearts &C.
ton, that the general health is feeble the
body poorly nourished, the sight double.
This is soon followed by peculiar witch
ing of the muscles, numbness of the hands
and feet, and the utter collapse of the
aervous system. The victim now becomes

MADE A GOOD CAPTURE
A Counterfeiter Was Taken Into
Custody.
HAD THE QUEER ON HIM
His Pockets Were Laden With Spurious
Silver Coins-He Is Supposed to
Be the Distributing Agent
For Others.

Sergeant of Police James Leyden
made a good capture last evening of a
counterfeiter with his pockets laden
with spurious silver coins. He is Gus
Schleckengose, for whom the govern
ment agents have been looking for some
time. L is thought he is not the manu-
facturer of the bogus coins himself, but
that he was the distributing agent of the
ones who made them.
Some two weeks ago an agent of the
secret service department Of the gov
ernment made his appearance in the
city and though no one knew his busi-
ness except the police, it was expected
something out of the ordinary was on
the tapis. Last evenings arrest explains
the presence of the mysterious gentle
man in the city, though even now he
declines to allow his name ITO be used.
He had been called here to work on a
counterfeiting case which had been I'M
earthed by Montana government of1i-
Cial. He had an accurate description
of the man he was after, which was
furnished the police, and a close watch
has been kept since for the cirCulator of
the bogus money. Last evening Ser
geant Leyden walked into the Calfor-
mia Brewery about half-past o'clock
and saw the much-wanted individual
sitting in chair. He at once took
Schleckengose into custody and escorted
him to the police station. The man af-
fected an air of innocence and kept in
quiring why he was arrested till Ser
geant Leyden dived down in his pocket
and brought up two sacks of bogus sill
ver dollars. Then he professed that he
did not know the coins We're counter
felt and protested that he came by them
honestly.
In searching the prisoner the officer
found 56 counterfeit dollars. some pen
nies which had evidently been white
washed to be passed as Dimes $21.75 in
good money, a bottle of strychnine, for
having which he offered no explanation.

pose of inducing dupes to buy their

Very Wise Dogs.

From the Syracuse Evening Telegram.
A gentleman tells The following anec-
dote about one of his dogs. which was
evidently able In SOM MYSTERIOUS fashion
to tell the days of the week:
Il had reared from a pup aSshepherd
dog. who, like many Of his peculiar breed.
showed remarkable Intelligence, combined
with the sweetest temper. She was
great favorite in the family, but looked
upon me especially her master l had
occasion to leave home at that time, re-
turning regularly a the end of three
weehs, some times longer, but always on
a Saturday. No one SAW the dog leave
the house except on such days as re-
turned. But as certainly as l came home
did l find my friend waiting for me. sit
ting bolt upright at ~ turn OF the road
half a mile from the house. When I ap-
peared in sight She scampered with the
speed of steam engine to meet me, loud
in her rejoicings and greeting me very
boisterously.'
A collie in Scotland is. another writer
tells us, in the habit of fetching from
his masters room slippers, cap, keys. or
anything he is sent for. One day, sent
on his usual errand he did not appear.
His master followed and found that the
door of the bedroom had blown to and
that the dog was a prisoner. Some days
later he was again told 10 fetch something
and as the wind WAS high his master,
after a. few minutes delay, followed him.
He found him in tIe act of fixing the
doormat, which he had rolled up for the
purpose, and having taken this precau-
tion the prudent animal proceeded to look
for the slippers.

LOST HER WEDDING RING
A Married Woman Gets in Trou-
BILE by Flirting.
THE POLICE CALLED IN
She Permitted Young Man to Hold
Her Hand at Dance-He
Took Her Ring and
Pawned It..

A young married woman who was in
discreet enough to indulge in mild
filtration was in trouble yesterday over
the loss of her wedding ring, and had to
call on the police to recover 1t. The
young woman said she went to a dance
few nights ago unaccompanied by her
husband and yielding to the firtatious
proclivties of Charles Edmunds, a
young fellow about town, she permitted
him to hold her hand. He playfully re-
moved her wedding ring and she did
not object, but allowed him to take it
to wear a day or two. Allowing another
to take a ring from ones finger is said
to be a sign that the friendship will be
broken and the sign came true, for
there was a falling out the next time
the couple met. The young woman asked
for her ring and Edmunds confessed
he had soaked" it. Fearful lest her
husband should discover her infidelity
she sought the aid of the police yester-
day to recover the ring. Young Ed
munds was arrested and taken to the
city Jail. He did not like the place, and
soon sent for a friend and settled the
matter by getting the ring out of pawn
Another young fellow. a friend of Ed
munds, was also arrested. but it ap-
peared he had nothing to do with the
affair and was released.

Question VIII Be Arbitrated.

New York, March S.--A dispatch TO the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says the Ar
gentina and Chilean commissioners have
not yet arrived at a settlement of the
Puta de Atacama questions, as the
Chileans wish to divide Punta de Ataca-
ma between the two countries while the
Argentinians maintain their right to the
whole territory, which Bolivia, the right
full owner, surrendered to Argentina
Therefore the question will undoubtedly
be submitted to the arbitration of the
United States minister. Mr.. Buchanan
The general boundary question will be de-
termined by Queen Victoria, as public
opinion in Chile is opposed to Il direct un-
derstandng between the two govern

WON'T VISIT BUTTE.
Important Business Made President Hill
Change His Plans.


President ]. J. Hill of the Great
Northern returned to ST. Paul from his
coast trip without coming to Butte. He
passed through Havre on the main line
yesterday, accompanied by Supern-
tendent Shields and Ex-Governor
Clough of Minnesota. General Manager
Whitney and F. B. Clark left the party
at Seattle and proceeded East day
ahead of Mr. Hill General Superintend-
ent f. L. Ward left Mr.. Hill at Havre
and is expected to come to Butte on the
delayed Great Northern this morning
1t is not known what caused Mr.. Hill
to change his mind about returning by
the way of Butte, but is presumed to
be because of pressing business in the
East which required him to go on to
st. Paul as fast as possible. On the
way over from the coast the train was
delayed several hours by snow storm,
and, to make matters worse, a freight
ran into them from the rear at a point
west of Leavenworth Wash. The back
platform of President Hills private car
was smashed in. but otherwise no dam
age was done. 1t is said that Mr.. Hill
stopped at Kalispell long enough to Sc
lect site for a tie picking plant,
which he proposes to erect there in the
spring, and where all the ties of the

the Pennsylvanians in recent days have

an exceptionally clever counterfeit.
Those seen in Butte bear the date 1882,
