Board with the Butler.

To avoid the trouble of housekeep-
Ing, many wealthy Parisians board
with their butler, so to speak. Instead
of ordering the food for the household
from day to day, they pay fixed sum
per month to their butler or housekeep-
er, who contracts to supply them with
the usual three meals per day, COM
posed of the customary courses, says
What to Eat The price paid for this
service varies in accordance with the
style of living. If guests be invited to
dinner or any sort of entertainment be
given, an extra sum per head is paid.
In this way the lady of the house
avoids the annoyance of butchers and
bakers bills, and If the butler does
not keep his part of the contract it is
easy enough to find another to replace
him. OF course, the presidents house
hold is carried out on this plan on a
large scale, and many OF the big stores
supply all their employees with daily
meals In the same manner. The banks
and other administrations of similar
nature often furnish the monday meal
to their clerks by contract, the latter
paying trifing sum toward the cost.

Congress of Redmen.

Much sentiment is centered in the
Indian Bureaus preparations for an
exhibit at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis
in 1904 of the representatives of the
tribes of American Indians. That the
congress of red men at st. Louis will
be the largest and most comprehensive
Indian exhibit ever attempted, and
that it will be the last exhibit of the
kind the United States government
will attempt to make on a large scale,
seems to be generally understood. 1t
is therefore the intention Of the Indian
Bureau to make it as complete as posi-
BILE.
The exhibit will be representative of
the various types of this country's
original inhabitants. 1t will be indie
pendent of the other government ex-
hibits and will be enclosed in a stock
ade, as many of the Indians placed on
exhibition are government prisoners,
and will be constantly guarded. The
noted Apache chief, Geronimo, now
more than 20 years of age who will be
at ST. Louis, is never permitted to leave
his reservation except under guard.
There will be Indian villages present
ing Indian customs and mode of living,
as well as the various Indian dances,
snake dances, dog feasts, and other in
carnations in which the Indians appear
in their gaudily decorated and fantas-
tic CARDS. There will also be sham bat
ties and other exhibitions bearing a
resemblance to the experiences of the
early frontiersman, including the coun-
Gil of war, the massacre and the pipe
of peace.
The appropriation of $4,000 for the
Indian exhibit will be expended under
the direction of the Secretary of the
Interior. There will be at least l,00C
Indians, representatives of over fifty
tribes, grouped on the Exposition
grounds. Some of them will be the
uncivilized, while others will be from
those who have been educated and are
in every respect equipped for citizen
ship. They will live in tepees, in
camps, on the Exposition grounds, and
will be inspected with much interest
by visitors. The Indians of Nevada
will be called on to contribute their
share.

Mr.. Bryan Tells a Good Story on
Himself.

Mr.. Bryan, who has been making
speeches to large audiences in the east,
was asked while in Washington if he
expected to be q candidate in 1904
He replied that he had no thought of
running for the Presidency and wanted
the party to line up in support of some
loyal Democrat and elect him. To il
lustrate the situation regarding him.
self, he told this story:
"Not long ago, in western town /,
had occasion to get shaved. The negro
barber felt complimented when he dis
covered he was shaving a man who
had twice run for the Presidency, and
in order that he might feel better /
gave him a silver dollar. Several
weeks later I passed through the same
town again, and | met an old friend
who said to me: Colonel Bryan, you
got that negro barber in trouble when
you were here last How's that? 4
gave him dollar | replied. That's
just it. You paid him dollar and he
was called before the union for cutting
rates. The union BARRIERS insisted
that the price for shaving dead man
was S."

THROWING THE LAsso.
she Manner In Which the Rope II
Handled by an Expert.


Handled by an Expert.
"a mistaken impression prevails in
the mind of the public in regard to the
manner in which a lasso is handled, I"
Gays an expert. THE idea that the loop
Is always swung around the head be-
fore making cast. especially when
the roper Is on foot is erroneous. No
man Of experience ever makes cast
IN this fashion from the ground in
practical work. There are several req
sons why he does not. One of them h
that the movement Is likely to frighten
the stock, especially horses; another
that he may have to wait some min
utes before a favorable opportunity
occurs for making cast. He knows
that better results are obtained by
holding the rope as unobtrusively as
possible. even keeping it concealed
from the object of capture.
"On the contrary, however, when
mounted and in pursuit 1t is absolutely
necessary to swing the loop over and
around the head, for the cast must be
made with the greatest possible force
In order to overcome not only the for
ward movement of the pursued, but
also the action of the wind should that
chance to be against you.
"As to the manner of casting. some
'ropers' cast with a quick, jerky move
ment of the hand, seeming to use the
arm very little and the body not at all.
Others employ body, arm and hand.
Both methods are effective when per-
fected by practice"

1T IS INDICATED
Vaccination is a Protection
Against Small Pox.
This Has Been Shown in a ConvinC.
ing Manner.---City Nearly Free
of Disease.

No new cases of small pox were re-
ported Wednesday. The Adair family
on Mound avenue was today released
from quarantine, and Two patients
were discharged from the quarantine
hospital This leaves but three fami-
lies under quarantine in the city, and
only two small pox patients in the
hospital. One of the families quaran-
tined is the Guenther family, on
North Fourth street, reported yester-
day. The mother, six children and
servant girl are down with the dis
ease.
The outbreak has been practically
eradicated from West Mankato. and
that section of the city will be de-
clared entirely free of the disease Fri
day. In a short time it is expected
that there will not be case in the
entire city.
There have been fifty cases in the
city in all, and the first thirty-six
have bbeen closed up. Of these latter,
only three of the patients had ever
been vaccinated. P. S. Lobdell was
vaccinated over thirty years ago, and
his case was consequently very light,
not over a dozen postules forming
on his body. Mrs Cyphers was vac
cinated some time ago, but for some
reason il did not ''take. - Louis
johnson was vaccinated after he was
exposed, and came down with the
small pox before the vaccination
could work In all the other cases,
the parties suffering from the disease
had never been vaccinated.
Mrs Guenther was vaccinated
twenty years ago. In cases where the
patients were vaccinated a number
of years ago, the disease has been very
light.

Proposed Execution, but the Angry
Crowd Could Not Be Reasoned With.
Rioters Break Every Window in the
Courthouse Before Securing Their
Victim.
La Junta, Colo, March 26.-W H.
Wallace, a negro sleeping car porter,
was lynched at s o'clock p. m. in a cor
ner of the courthouse square, being
hung to an electric light pole by a
bowling mob of 1000 people, who had
been hunting for him all day. After
the hanging the body of the negro was
riddled with bullets. Wallace had
been kept out of town all day by Sher-
iff Farr in an attempt to save him from
the mob. The prisoner made no re-
sistance to the lynching and died pro-
testing his innocence.
A peace element endeavored to
stop the proposed lynching and COM
mittee of prominent citizens asked
the privilege of trying to get from
Wallace a confession. This was
granted and the negro was taken into
the courthouse. After half an hour or
so the word went out that the court
house doors were locked and that the
committee would try to prevent a
lynching. Immediately pandemonium
reigned. Stones were hurled at the
building until every window was brok-
en-. Then, with a telegraph pole for
a battering ram, the crowd broke
in the doors and Wallace was taken

A boy was sent up a telegraph pole
with a rope. 1t was thrown over the
crossbar and then dropped into the

and in an instant the negro was in the
air. Hardly had the boy climbed out
of danger when hundreds of pistols
were drawn, and before the negro's
body reached the top of the pole it
was riddled with bullets and the negro
was dead.
At a late hour the body had not been
taken down.
Wallace was charged with having
criminally assaulted an aged white
woman.
Sheriff Farr said that Wallace stead
lastly maintained his innocence, but
the police declare that when they ar
rested him in the car there was blood
and gray hairs on his clothing and
! other evidences which satisfied them
he was the guilty man.
Wallace lived with his wife on Law

children. He is said to have come
from Sedalia, Mo-, and had been EN-
,, ployed by the railroad company fol
several years.

There were four prizes given, the two

SMALL POX DECISION.
Judge Quinn Decides Case in Fari'
bauIt County.

Judge Quinn has filed an order at
Fairmont in the case of the village of
Winnebago City vs. the board of county
commissioners Of Faribault county,
involving the construction of the law
in force previous to April II, 1901.
The action was brought to recover
the sum of $S45. So expenses incurred
by the village in the establishing of
a quarantine of persons afflicted with
small pox in the fall of 1900.
Small pox broke out in hotel in
Winnebago City and some thirty or
forty persons were exposed and infect
ed, all of whom were removed to the
buildings on the fair grounds and
there quarantined fol. more than thirty
days, during which time DR.. F. l..
Durgin, president of the board of
health, gave them his entire time,
giving up all his regular practice.
The village paid the fair association
800 for the use of the grounds and
buildings and expended some $6S. 90
for men to guard or patrol the same,
and nearly $500 for material and labor
making them habitable. The balance
of the $S45. SS was made up of fuel,
groceries, clothing and other neces-
saries furnished the patients and
$3.50. 90 paid to DR.. Durgin for profess
sional services.
q All of the persons so quarantined
being in INDECENT circumstances the
village filed its claim with the county
auditor and asked to be reimbursed.
The commissioners allowed all of the
items for bedding, clothing and pro-
visions, but disallowed the items of
rent, repairs on buildings, and services
of watchmen, and it allowed the bill of
DR.. Durgin only to the amount of
800.
The village by their attorney, Judge
Severance. then brought an action
against the county for the full amount
of their claim.
SHuAhA la q OpiAiOI
reviews the law governing this case
holds that the plaintiff cannot recover
, the items of rent and items upon the
buildings used for pest house purposes
nor for the services in patroling same,
and reasons that such removal is moi
! for the benefit of the person infected,
but is for the benefit of the public al
large in preventing the spread of the
contagion. That it must be conceded
that such charge could not be main
tanned against the individual if able
to pay the same, it being for the ben
eft of the public and for it to pay ant
hence could not be charge agains
the county. The same line of reason
ing applies to the items for repairs ant
watchmen.
The court further finds that tn,
claim of DR.. Durgin was REASONABLE
and should have been allowed and 81
orders.

CHARGES GO UP.
Livery Men Get Together on Prices of
Board Etc.

The livery men have gotten together,
as will be seen by notices published
elsewhere in this issue, and have
agreed upon an advance In the price
of hacks for funerals and weddings
and an advance in the charges for
boarding single horses. The price to
be charged hereafter for hacks for
funerals and weddings will be 81, and
the price of board for single horses has
been raised from $40 and $t2 to $15 per
month.
The raise in charges is explained by
the liverymen by saying that the price
of feed is SO high as to take off all the
profits under the old charges. Where
horses are boarded, there is much ex-
pense attached to hitching up. I'm
hitching, cleaning buggies, greasing
harness, etc.

MURDERED AT HIS WORK.
Inoffensive Old Man Shot to Death
Near Alexandria, MINI.

Alexandria, Mimi, March 26.-Mag-
nus Johnson, about 62 years old and a
bachelor, was found dead in his house

had been at work in the granary and
had a sack of wheat ready to tie, and
the string lay across the top of the
sack. The body was lying back of the
sack as though it had fallen back

Three bullet holes were in the head,
