An Overdose Of Laudanurn

Silas burst, an old and highly re-
spected citizen, died at the Jester
House Monday from an overdose Of
laudanum, self-administered, presum
ably to induce sleep, as he had been
unable to sleep the previous night,
on account of nervousness superin-
duced by drink. He went to his
room shortly before noon, Monday,
locking himself in, and that was the
last seen of him alive. During the
afternoon Mr.. Ingersol became
alarmed at the non-appearance and
quietness Of the occupant of the oon,
and summoned Night Watchman
Swarthout, who broke open the door
and found Mr.. burst lying upon the
bed, still in death. No message was
left by deceased, and in consequence
no man can say whether his death
was premeditated or accidental.
Many hold to the latter theory as he
was financially in easy circumstan
ces, having snug bank account
Deceased was one of the origina'
locators Of the Blue Lead mine, sub
sequently disposing of his interest
in the property, and afterwards go
| ing to work for the owners on sal
ary.
The body was taken to Hill City
yesterday for burial, being accom-
panied by George and Ernest Bar
thold.

Railroad Rumors Galore

Matters in railroad circles are
moving very we'll, two new contracts
being let on Wednesday, one for two
miles in the lower end Of town and
the other for three miles on the En-
glewood end of the B. & M. The
peope who have the lower end of the
line have rented the Vroman hotel
buildings and stable, moved in and
went to work this morning. The
people on the upper end are to be on
the ground ready to begin work
Monday. These with the contracts
heretofore let cover most of the B.
4 M. bracnh. Among the sub con-
tractors are Pat Nc Dermott, Abe
McGeorge, Sammy Mall, Potter
Bros. and Bosett & Co.
DThe r. E. & M. V. engineer corps
has been busy early and late running
lines, getting grades and cross sec
tioning and will soon be ready for
the contractors over the entire
branch. -Galena Star.
Pierre Special: There has been
considerable speculation here the
past few days over lease which
has been made for a tract of about
fifty acres which is owned by the
state, on the lower end Of Revere S
or God s island. The lease was
made by ]. 9. Burchard, of Marshall
Mimi, who attempted first to pur-
chase the tract; as the purchase
could not be made without delay
of several months, he made a lease
oft for a term OF five years.
The principal significance of the
move lies in the fact that Mr.. Burch-
ard is in the employ of the land de-
partment of the Chicago anq North
western railroad. Speculation tends
toward the possibilities of cross
ing for the Northwestern road here.
Theland lies at a point where the
main channel of the river is very mar
row and favorable for bridge build.
ing, the only place with such
conditions along this part of the
river. Just what the motive of the
lease is will remain for the future to
develop, as the local employees of the
road know nothing and information
is not to be had in regard to it.
It begins to look like railroad for
Galena. The B. 4 M. have nearly
200 men at work on the grade from
Englewood.

This means that no live stock of
any kind can be brought into Louis
lana until this embargo is raised.
Only one exception is made to this
ruling, and that is in the case of
British horses and mules intended
for South Africa. These will not be
disturbed. The action was the re.
suit of late reports from Missis-
sippi, which are of an alarming ma
ture. Authorities in that state
seem utterly impotent to cope with
the plague, and of late it has been
communicating to human beings
with startling regularity. Eight
negroes are reported to have died
already from it's effects and the case
of a white victim, who had come in
intact with an afflicted COW was re-
ported to have resulted fatally yes

jaunt through the east. They will

cluded in the trip. They expect to be
gone about month.

WON BY THE BUTTeNHoaE.
Boston Transcrint.

t..
once upon time case was brought
before learned judge, in which the ques-
ton at issue was whether the button
was made for the buttonhole or the but
tonhole for the button.
Counsel for the button held that it
was so plain as to render argument SUI
perhuoUs that the buttonhole was made
for the use and behoof Of the button;
Still, for FORMS Saks, he would give a few
reasons why his contention was the cor
rect one. It was apparent he said, that
without the buttonhole the button would
be unable to perform its function, and
hence 1t was plain that the button preced-
ed the buttonhole, and that the latter
was invented in order that the button
might be of service to mankind. 1t
should be clear to everyb body that had
it not been for the button the button
hole never would have been thought Of.
Its existence necessarily presupposed the
existence of the button.
The lawyer for the other side was
equally positive in the stand he had been
employed to take. He averred that the
buttonhole preceded the button; that, in
fact the button was merely an after
| thought. He said that, as everyone knew,
the buttonhole can be employed without
the button, as witness Farmer Jones, who
! invariably uses nail or silver Of wood
instead of the conventional button, where
as 1t was impossible to make an effect
i've use of the button without the aid and
assistance of the buttonhole. Hence it
was shown beyond peradventure that the
than the button, and it was natural to
infer that the buttonhole was first in
vented and that the button came later
simply as an ornament or, at best, as
an Improvement upon the nail, silver, or
Other instrumentality wherewith the but
tonhole was made to perform it's duty.
To show the relative value of the button
hole and the button, he said, take this
simple example: When a button comes Off
the buttonhole can still be made service
able, but if the buttonhole is slit open
the button is of no use whatever. With
this the learned counsel rested his case.
although he claimed that he had not ex-
hausted the subject
When the court came in after. recess
the learned judge promptly decided the
case in favor of the buttonhole-clearly
a just decision, although it was whisper
ed about the court house that the decision
might have been different but for the fact
that while changing his linen between ad-
journment and reassembling of the court
his honor had dropped his collar button
and hunted for 1T without success for hair
an hour, and perhaps might never have
found it had he not stepped upon 1t. But
of course this suggestion came from the
partisans Of the button and may fairly
be imputed to their disappointment and
chagrin.

BEALL's BRAVES BEATEN
Three to Two I'm ST JOe's Favor at
NicOIIet Park Yesterday

The Jo-Joes sent one man around the
circuit in the first inning of the game at
Nicollet park, Minneapolis, yesterday,
and this was enough to hold the Millers
in the background up to the eighth inn
ing, seven zeroes having been chalked up
on the board in succession In the Yis-
ttors half of the seventh the lead was in
creased to three runs, the last two TALES
beng the result of three singles and some
slow work on the pant of the Beall out

In the eighth Robe started a brief spell
OF excitement by beating out a bunt.
Then Wadsworth decided to win his own
game by slamming out a sIashing triple,
scoring Rohe and coming home on NC

superb. The score:

decisions in the second inning In con-

The infeld was switched yesterday.
Higgins replaced Curley at second and
Holly took the short field. So far as field
work goes this looks like a winning com
bination. Whether the two will bat
well enough to make the change perma-
nent remains to be seen. Higgins has
always played second and he is more at
home in that position than at short.
The Saints are decidedly off-color III
