GOOD NIGHT HORSE NEXT WEEK.

Week
 One of the funniest tricks performed by Riccobonos wonderful horses is the kickoff done by the Irish horse with the big football. He makes a great kick every time. The dogs in their grapevine act, going through the sulky spokes and between the horses legs, are another special novelty. All in all, this act is a wonderful and amusing eXhibi- tion of animal intelligence, the Good Night Horse and his famous retiring act being the star of all equinines.

that j. X. Lee, the Louisville man
on whose farm 1t is reported three
foot vein Of anthracite has been
found, will organize stock company
to bore for coal If the legislature will

the entire country there is underlaid
with a field Of anthracite, and he
wants to investigate.
A prominent Lincoln geologist says
there is no anthracite underlying tho
country around Louisville. The for.
nation Of the earth does not 10 1Icate
such a mineral, and he is very Ger.
tain that the Louisville find viii

Two Men Saw Out of Jail.

Mitchell S. D., Ian 27--A Jail
delivery took place in this city Mon.
day night and very important pris-
oner made his escape. Jack Sully and
Fred Baer, the two inmates, were re-
leased from the prison and no trace
OF them can be found They were
assisted by outside parties, who sawed
the lock from an outside door that
is rarely used and then sawed their
way into the Jail.
At 4;30 IN the afternoon the deputy
sheriff saw Sully in the jail corridor
and when the deputy returned at 7
O'Clock the Jail was empty and an in
vestigation revealed that the pris-
oners had gone. Telephone messages
were sent In all directions to inter
cept the fugtives.
Sully is the noted cattle ruster
who has operated on the Sioux reser-
walton, west Of Chamberlain, for a
lumber Of years and in that time
has made way with hundreds of cat
tie. He has always been able to es-
cape the officers, or has stood in
with them to the extent of having
escaped arrest.
Last summer Sully was arrested at
Verdlrgrie, Neb., where he had driv-
en- a large humber Of cattle and had
sid them to Omaha dealers. He
was brought back to Lyman county
and later placed in the Mitchell jail
for safe keeping
1t Is believed that the plan for the
delivery had been in operation for
several days ana the fact that Sheriff
Brooks died Saturday afternoon ga, G
Sully's friends chance to work all
the better. 1t was not a difficult
matter to saw through the iron bars
that held them captives.

A NEW EEGLIsH smMAR.
BY an Eminent North Carolina scholar and
Teacher.

Our Language Grammar has just come
from the presses of the B. f. Johnson
Publishing Company, of Richmond. This
is new addition to the rapidly growing
list of strictly up-to-date textbooks by
North Carolina authors. This new gram
mar IS by c. Alphonzo Smith, Phi. D.,
Professor of English in the University of
North Carolina, and one OF the foremost
scholars of the South.
This grammar the author and publish
ors claim is built upon the practical idea
rather than the theoretical, and from a
partial glance through its pages we would
infer that this claim is well based 1t
looks interesting and entertaining as well
as instructive. 1t comes from man
who has learned and taught all the way
up from the common school to the uni
versity, and a man who knows his bust
ness when it comes to speaking, writing
or defining the English language.
The order followed is the normal or
der: The paragraph, the sentence, the
clause, the phrase, then IN Part H. the
parts of speech in detail.
The insertion of chapter on punctua
ton and one on spelling needs no de
fence. Every teacher of elementary
Eglish knows that these subjects belong
necessarily to constructive English, and
are at the same time almost ignored in
common school grammars.
Then, too, the book is interesting
Every effort has been made to make old
things seem new and, what is harder stlh,
new things old.
The proof sheets have passed under the
critical eye OF many well-known educa-
tors, including Mrs. Ida B. McMurry

any work, but could sit up little. For
twelve months l lived on sweet milk and
bread If 1 ate anything else it would
start the bowels to troubling me, from
four to ten times a day. My doctor said
I would never get well; I might get bet
ter but my bowels would always be my
weak point that would cause me trouble
when L would take cold. Seeing Mrs
Persons advertisement on the South Bos-
ton bridge, / wrote to her and stated my
case. She said she did not think there
was any doubt of her Remedy curing me.
1 commenced it and soon could eat and
drink anything I wanted, except butter
milk I took % bottles, which made a
perfect cure of me- and 1 gradually re-
gained my weight until I again weighed
16S pounds. 1t has been seven years
since was cured, and I am now perfect
ly well. I had baby that was born with
bowel trouble which nothing would
reach. He was born in May and in July
he had a. bad boil which he suffered from
for six months I didn't know Mrs Per-
sons Remedy could be used on so young
a baby. so 1 wrote to her She advised its
use Before he had taken a bottle the
bowel trouble was cured and also the
boil which the doctor said threatened to
be a serious trouble as it was so obstinate
and lasted SO long.
