not love Gen. Meagher Are you armed,
Doran?" Meagher insisted. "See that
your pistols are loaded'
At $50 o'clock Doran persuaded the
general to retire. He locked the door of
the stateroom as well as he could, the
lock being defective, and went to the low
err deck.
A few minutes later he heard a splash
and cries of Man overboardv'
Doran rushed to the rail as the engi-
neer cried: 1T was Your friend, John
nyr'
Two agonizing cries were heard, but
the river was twelve feet deep, with a
current rushing five or six miles an hour
and the voice was heard but an instant.
Doran ran ashore and went to the
steamer Guidon, which lay fifty yards be-
low. Men rushed to the wheel of the
steamer and lowered themselves into the
water, while ropes and boards We're
thrown out, but in vain; the body was
never seen.
For many days cannon were fred the
river was dragged and the shores and
islands searched, but all to no purpose.
If the stone figure that Tom Dunbar
dug up be indeed the mortal remains CT
Thomas Francis Meagher, 1t Is easy to
figure out from its mute testimony the
fate of the gallant general.
He was plainly crazy when he jumped
overheard, but the shock of the water
and the instinct Of struggle brought back
his son and he succeeded In making
the shore far below where he Jumped In.
The river at that point was full of ISL
ands which swarmed with hostile In
dams, not all Of whom at that time used
guEpowder. The almost noiseless bow
spring gave no hint Of the shot that cleft
his skull.
The nerves of the brain work crosswise;
those of the left part control. Meagher's
skull was cleft on the left SIDE; his right
side, as DR.. Kellogg and Prof. Grant tes-
tify, was paralyZed. The Indians came
and bound the helpless mans hands
Death soon released him. Then, alarmed
at the commotion made by the friends
of the missing man, his captors threw
the body into the river, where it lay
until Dunbar found tiff it is indeed Mea-

Benson, of Maxton, Robson Co., N. c.,
"to let you know what wonderful thing

did for my little boy. He was taken
With indigestion when he was a year
and half old, and he was under the
doctors treatment for five long years.
We spent all we made for doctors bills,
and It did no good. He could not eat
anything only little milk and cracker,
and sometimes even this would make
him sick, and he got very weak; could
not sit up all day, and 1 gave up all hope
of his ever getting any better. Looking
over one Of your books I noticed DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery rec
commended for indigestion. We bought
some and gave to our boy. Two bottles

cry cured him. He is we'll as can be-.

sick day since, and it has been three
years since he took your medicine. I
pray that God will always bless you and

within; when Third street was illumin-
ated from Wabasha away down East,
and when the gallant attack was made
on the castle by hundreds of brawny
members of various skating curling and
toboggan clubs. After having lain
quiescelt for few years, the people
really pinned for the tonic of another ice
carnival, but somehoWssthe old dread of
what Ms. Grundy in the East would say
about it restrained their natural exu-
berance and impetuositX.
FORT. OF ICE.
Yet there came day, a few years
since, when private enterprise con-
structed an ice fort out on Aurora ave-
nue.. and real estate prices did not fall
off a single point The whole nation is
better acquainted with st. Paul than it
was a dozen years ago. People began
to brush The cobwebs from their eyes
and did some more pining for the good
old times. Well, the longing for some
thing typical in the line Of winter amuse-
ment has crystallized into the present
carnival organization, of which Judge
Flandrau is the executive head and
Mr.. w. Bradford Hennessy the super
tntendent of details.
But what of the original promoters,
the pioneers of midwinter carnivals?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot?
Certainly Lot. Let US render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars, and
do full justice to the men Who dozen
years ago took the initiative and car
ried Ice palace enterprise to the front.
The greater number of toboggan, skat-
ing and curling clubs were organized in
1885, the year of the first attempt at Ice
palace building, and the year previous to

For the carnival season of 1900 1t has
been decided to bark back to the ice pal
ace of 1883, but on a more elaborate
scale. How many of the old-time to-

reorganize. recruit their disorganized
ranks and come to the front In ell their
erstwhile blaze of glory? What has be-

false theory that a tax Is payment for
services rendered. For ten days past the
Journal has been attempting to deceive
the voters of the city by an argument on
the question OF taxation that was utterly
baseless because its whole premises was
and is false. Thus the whole campaign
against Col. Goff appears in the light of
a farce of Ignorance in which the Jour
nal has been the chief actor-ignorance
founded on a theory OF taxation that was
exploded generation ago. The

of shame TO those who once regarded the
