CALAMITY JANE.
The Well Known Frontier Character,
Formerly Of Bismarck and the Black
Hills, Enters the Poor House.


Hills, Enters the Poor House.
Butte, Mont, Feb. 25.-Calamity
Jane, one Of the most noted charac-
ters of western border life, a friend
of Buffalo Bill and a participant in
many of the early Indian campaigns,
has been admitted to the poorhouse
in Gallatin county.
Calamity Jane is one of the relics
of early frontier life and is known to
nearly all of the old Indian fighters
and frontiersmen, from General Miles
to Teddy Roosevelt. She came west
from St. Louis, crossing the plains
with party of freighters shortly after
the war. At that time she donned
male attire, and has never discarded
it since.
She took her place in the saddle,
on the range, at the faro table, at a
game Of stud poker, at the saloon bar,
along witn her male companions. She
is an expert shot and a daring fighter.
On her first trip west her party got
into fight with Indians, and she
displayed such courage and reckless
daring that she was then dubbed
Calamity Jane" and the name has
stuck to her ever since. No one
knows any other name for her, and
she says she has none.
She has been married dozen or
more times. She killed her first hus-
band after he had given her beat
ing. The second one was killed in a
dance house fight, and bad end came
to each succeeding one, until it became
a saying that i'll luck followed her
matrimonial favors. .,--s~.,
OF late years she has been making
a miserable living by selling a pam
phlets which tells an abridged story Of
her life. EA$t15 .ss, .tmsEs.,.. -.

h = The work of the legislature will be
resumed today. The attempted small
pox scare did not frighten away any
of the members, although the startling
misrepresentation Of conditions in the
city by a valley paper a day or so ago
occasioned considerable comment and
some agitation where the real situa-
tion was not known. AS it is, there
are a few individuals in the detention
hospital-none of them sick enough
to be abed, and none suffering
worse Inconvenience than detention.
Every case that has come to light has
been promptly quarantined, and there
is no occasion for alarm in Bismarck
more than in any one of dozen
towns in the state where few cases
of similar nature have been discovered.
The startling headlines and equally
startling misstatements of facts that
We're made are the product of Juvenile
imagination untempered with either
dlScretlOn or sense.
Last nights trains brought back
nearly all of the senators and repre-
sentatives, refreshed by the recess and
ready for the work of the last ten
days, which will be steady and un-
ceasing if the members finish the
work that is now before them New
bills from this time forward will be
scarce, as there is enough already on
the calendar to keep the two houses
busy. The appropriation bills have
not yet passed the house and there is
q large number of house bills for con-
sideration in the senate Morning
sessions will be the order in few
days in all probability, and vigorous
steering committee in the house will
be necessary to bring the important
matters to first place.
Governor. White has returned from
his. trip. east and is prepared for the
finishing touches of the session. There
will be plenty of business for the exec
utive department in the next few
weeks as bills will come in rapidly
for. consideration by the governor.
There are also some appointments to
he made, including several boards Of
trustees for state institutions, the ap-
pointmentss in the examiners office
and several other places to filed :

From Deaths Door.

Hillsdale, H., April 29th.-Much in.
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in Il dying condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless one,
and others from Port Byron, Geneseo,
and Davenport, Ia, had attended him,
and in a consultation decided that he
could not live.
In desperation. his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. f. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
DoJds Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within a few weeks was able to be
I'D and about, completely cured
His cure is the talk of the neighbor-
hood. and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears TO be no doubt that this
new remedy. Dodd's Kidney Pills. will
cure any case of Kidney Disease, for
the more malignant forms. such as
Bright'S Disease, Diabetes. and DropSy
WELD readily TO its remarkable iuflu-
ence. These forms of Chronic Kidney
Disease have hitherto been considered
incurable. and have baffled all medical
skill, and yet this new remedy has
cured every single case in which 1t has
been used. in this neighborhood. The
doctors themselves are amazed at the
wonderful work DOdd's Kidney Pills
are accomplishing in Rock Island

King Edward's Perouisites.

A king has many privileges, but the
oldest of all King Edwards is surely
the right he has by statute to the head
of every whale caught on the coasts of
his kingdom. The tail is to go to Queen
Alexandra, the object of the division
being to guarantee that the Queens
wardrobe shall be furnished with
whalebone. King Edward is not likely
10 receive many whales, however long
he may reign, but there are many per-
quiSites of the crown which are not
so rare as whales in England. The
King is entitled, for instance, to every
sturgeon brought to land in the United
Kingdom; one of them, caught in the
Thames, was on the table at Queen
Nictoria's wedding banquet. The King
should also receive every year, from
divers persons, a table cloth worth
three shillings, two white doves, two
white hares, a catapult, a pound of
cuminseed, horse and halter, a pair
of scarlet hose, a currycOmb, n pair of
tongs, a crossbar, a coat of gray fur,
a nightcap, a falcon. two knives, a
lance worth two shillings and a silver
needle from his tailor.

Ready 70 Instruct

It's one of the curious things in life
that the persons who know the least
are generally the most ready to in
strUct others. There was a little ODD
lady in the dining room CT hotel late
ly, who called the waiter Sir when
she spoke to him, and who greatly
scandalized the smartly dressed per-
sons with her by cutting her lettuce
into inch bits and fitting her soup to
get the last drop of the liquid it con-
tanned. No one noticed her particularly
until just after the meal ended, when
a remark she made attracted the gener-
al attention. 1t was a very innocent re
mark. too, for surely we ought all to
be allowed to have our preferences.
but her voice was so clear that it rang
out over the dining room.
Sir" she said, with dignity, to the
waiter, "Sir. please bring me a spoon
for my custard pie. always eat GUS
tard pie with a spoon; it's mince that
you eat with a knife" she added, ex-
planatorily to the woman next her, and
then she finished her meal calmly and
apparently entirely oblivious of the
shocked faces at her own table and
the amused ones at those near by.

A Temnerance Story.

Once upon a time there was a young
man who took to drink.
Parental admonitions, the warnings
of friends, were alike unavailing. The
young man laughed them all to scorn.
''Ha, ha!' laughed he, to be more ex-
plicit.
So he went on from bad to worse un-
til finally a girl married him to reform
him.
"Alasr' he cried, now that it was too
late. Would that i had never drunk
the first drop!'
Oh, boys, think of his sad fate when
the cup tempts you!-Detroit Journal.
