HAVE SEVERAL WIVES.

Minneapolis Tribune: Chaplain
John. A. Randolph of the Sixth U. S.
infantry, who has just returned from
service in the Philippines, says in a.
recent address:
''Some Americans in the Philip
pines have two OF three wives there.
They marry one woman and soon
leave her and marry another. The
people there often asked me why [
did not get married. They did not
understand why a man with a wife in
the states should not marry for the
two or three years he would be in the
islands.
Five glasses Of beer can be bought
there for cents, and under nearly
every tree is STILL"
We suspect that the Elder will find
he has stirred up a lively hornets
nest about his ears, but the man who
has the fortitude to deny himself an
extra wife or two when he is that far
from home is undoubtedly equal to
any emergency which may arise.
The fact that five glasses Of beer can
be had for nickel ought to stimu-
late immigration to our new possess
ions

Judge Bigelow was her agent here for
the purpose of collecting the rents and
paying the taxes on this property and
selling it, should opportunity offer.
Last March she claims to have re-
ceived a letter from Judge Bigelow
IN which he offered her nine hundred
dollars for the out-of- town land. Be-
ing led to believe this a fair price,
she accepted the offer and decided the
property to the defendant. In real
ity, she says, the land was worth
much more than what she realized
from it, Judge Bigelow having been
offered fourteen hundred dollars for
it before he made the nine hundred
proposition to her. These circum-
stances, it is claimed, constitute a.
breach of trust, for which the plaintiff
asks damages. Mrs. VanDusen is not
present at court but her deposition
was taken in Chicago and was intro
duced as evidence. The letter to her
from the defendant, containing the
offer to buy, is spoken of in one of her
answers as being marked exhibit A"
and attached to the deposition.
When, however, the papers were re-
ceived through the mail by Clerk Of
Court Weber, no letter or exhibit
A." attached or otherwise, was to be
found, although there were pin holes
in the paper where it should have
been fastened. On account of this
unexplained defect, defendants attOr-
ney strongly objected to the admission
OF the deposition. Attorney Sanford,
however, produced what he claims a
copy of the missing letter, which he
testified to having made when the
original was in his possession.
M. J. BrOphy, called by the plain
tiff, testified that last March he
offered fourteen hundred dollars for
the land in question, to Judge Bige-
low, who had agreed to communicate
with the owner regarding the matter.
Later he was told that there was an
other deal on and that he could not
have it. He considered that the land
was worth hundred dollars more
than his offer at the time and that
its value has since somewhat increas-
ed. On crOSS-eXaminatiOn he was not
sure whether his interest in the case
was not founded in part on his failure
to get the land and stated that he
came here from Minneapolis at the
request of plaintiffs attorney with
out expecting to be compensated for
his time OF expenses. Also admitted
that he felt hostile towards Bigelow
for not getting the land and had ex-
pressed same to others. Mr.. Sanford
took the stand in behalf of his client
and admitted that the proposed suit
had been used against Bigelow for
campaign purposes.

ACTION FOR DAMAGES.

Fargo Forum: On behalf Of the
plaintiff Attorney Hildreth filed pa
pers Saturday afternoon in an action
for damages against the N. P. which
he has instituted on behalf OF W. H.
Jackson, a locomotive fireman, who
asks $4,000 for injuries to his arm,
while in the performance of his duty,
at LaMoure, Oct. 10 last year. The
water guage of the engine on which
the plaintiff was working broke and
he was badly scalded.
The action has been instituted in
the United States court and it will
probably be tried at the May term,
before Judge Amidon.

TOM FORGIVES KITTY.

Darlington Independent: 1t is re-

his determination not to testify
against Kitty Bonderant for shooting
a hole through him. If that is SO
Tom has a very forgiving nature, and
he may be good mark for future gun

Drs. Mackenzie and Goss, Sunday

back, where it had lodged when he
was shot by Kitty Bonderant some

professor rushed out of the house bare

the mere exuberance OF his paternal
emotions.
The next thing that his relations knew
was that the professor had. owing TO
Mrs Bloggett's health. given up his
residence in Bloomsbury. and had de-
parted TO a small village on the South
coast
II was in such retired spot as the
hamlet of Slumpton that the extraordi-
nary education OF the twins. who Lad
been christened respectively Senna-
cherib and NabopOlasseth Bloggett, was
begun. (The professor said these were
beautiful names: and although nobody
agreed with him, there were few who
knew Chaldee better than the profess

Their very frst verbal utterance was
in his beloved language. For. one day.
even before they had departed from the
classic shades of Bloomsbury, SIENNA

enunciated "Goo-goo!" at which his sis

equal distinctness, "Ga-ga." Interro-

late John Gudge, ''in that case, I take

of the Caroline group.
AS stories of shipwrecked travellers
who have the good fortune to be
washed up on uninhabited islands great
ly resemble one another. II may be as
well for me TO state briefly that the ex-
istence OF Sennacherib and Nabopholas-
seth on this uninhabited island of the
Caroline group differed in no respect
from those with which every reader OF
romance and adventure is familiar.
At the end of the third year they be-
held in astonishment the inevitable hu-
man footprints on the shore. The own
ers of the footprints duly made their
appearance, and subsequently signihed
their allegiance in the Chaldean tongue.

II is now only a few weeks since the
archaeological and pathological world was
thrown into state OF great excitement.
The newspapers contained an account
by the learned Prof. Sprachzimmer. of
Heidelberg of a visit paid 10 a hence
forth unknown island OF the Caroline
group OF Pacific islands.
The island was inhabited by twen-
ty-seven persons, belonging to a strange
race. speaking a language unknown TO
any of the natives OF the other islands.
Prot Sprachzimmer has ascertained be-
yond the possibility OF doubt that this
/ strange tongue is Chaldee. Several of
| the natives were able to write and un-
derstand the Chaldean cuneiform in
scriptions."

gett family embarked at the port of Ca
diz. in a small Spanish brig bound for
the Philippines. The professor deemed
this better way TO travel than via a

twins might get contaminated by mod
ern languages. besides attracting undue
attention from worldly minded, modern
worldly-minded, passengers. As il was,
on board the Santa Lucia the strange
speech of the twins and cuneiform in

interior OF their cabin did not alto
gether escape the notice of at least one
polygot sailor. who conhded TO another
of the same breed in the stokehole that
'he was blowed If he could make head

All went well-the skies smiled. the
sun beamed, the Pacific was serene, and
the Bloggett family chatted ChaIdee in
way that would drive an Orient pro-
fessor green with envy-all went well, l
say. until the Spanish brig. the Santa
