upon "Haste to the Wedding"
Then the bridal party got of the car,
and was instantly surrounded by the
whole crowd in the center of which the
tall, angular form of Coonrod Redden
could be seen, a head above the tallest.

What triumphal march down the
Overcoat road, from the station to Coon
rod Redden's house! What waving of
hats and handkerchiefs, and what yells
and screeches! There was just that ele-
ment of the ludicrous, that tint of absurd
ity in this noisy demonstration that made
it doubly acceptable to the fun-loving
Sandtowner. 1t was an unexpected dem
onstration and so had the features of a
huge and successful practical joke which
the HOosier loves so we'll: while it served
as an ample opportunity for all to join in
a public exhibition of respect and admira-
ton, which the true Hooser delights to
make in honor of any citizen who, in
any walk of life attains distinction and
so reflects luster upon his native State,
or his adopted town and country.
'"There's the Woods" Lizzy whispers
iE Mr.. Huntley's ear. He turns, and
chances up the little woods road that
branches off from the Oyercoat road and
winds away into the recesses of the for
est, now beginning to exchange its gay
green coat for a mantle of brown, trim
med with knots and fringes of yellow,
and cardinal and purple.

MT. Albert NJ. Bigelow, Of New

New York to the Lake Superior mining
region as follows: II was absent from
nv office in New York Friday, Satur-
day and Monday. l had one day in
Chicago. two days and night at Lake
Srnerior and did not need to break
the Sabbath by any business transac-
tion. This was accomplished in this
way: took the Lake Shore Limited
for Chicago on Thursday evening, leav-
ing at $50. | arrived in Chicago at
four o'clock on Friday. | stayed IN
Chicago four and one-half hours, meet
ing some people there and accomplish
ing some business. l took the tram
at $50 and arrived at Lake Superior
at $50 in the morning. | had all day
Saturday and the evening there. l
spent Saturday night there and Sun
day. Sunday evening at $50 l left
Lake Superior and arrived at Chicago
on Monday morning at 6 o'clock. |
had a halliday there and left at 1870
%. m. on the Twentieth Century Linn
tied on the Lake Shore road for New
York, arriving at 9:30 Tuesday morn
ing. which enabled me to reach my
office at the ordinary time. On each
of the trains which l took | had a
comfortable room for myself and was
luxuriously supplied in dining cars on
each road. This more than verified
the story in the Arabian Nights of the
wonderful Persian carpet on which
the Prince was transferred some one
hundred miles in single night" Mr..
Bigelow adds that the above is in
striking contrast to his first trip to
the Lake Superior region in 1850, when
it occupied seven or eight days of con-
slant travelling in going one way

by experience, just what was required of

features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable SEN

The Assembly passed the 2-ccnt pas
senger rate bill Saturday to a third read
ing, after quite an animated discussion
between Pliny Norcross and Fred Har-
tung, opponents of the bill, and Henry
Johnson, the father of the bill and
Messrs. Smoker, Braddock and Warren.
Mr.. Norcross requested that further con-
sideration of the bill go over till March
u, as by that time in all likelihood the
State will have a railroad commission
which can reduce the passenger rates if il
sees tit. The friends of the bill wanted
it to go into effect as soon as possible
and claimed that if left to the commits
sion 1t would be two years before il
could become effective. When it came
to vote only two members opposed the
bill, Messrs. Baker and Frank Johnson
The bill to appropriate $4,000 for the
Lewis and Clark exposition was re-re.
ferred to the committee on State affairs.
Mr.. Coff1and explaining that he wanted
it given more consideration. The com.
mittee on agriculture reported favorablv
on the bill to make a debt for shoeing a
horse lien against the horse as long
as it is the property of the man wb0
ordered the shoeing. The Senate bin
allowing married women to begin sIlit in
their own name, was concurred in.

Introduced in the Senate Thursday, ques-
tiOning the correctness of the Governors
figures in regard to the earnings Of rail
roads in Iowa and Wisconsin respective
ly, was restored Friday morning when by
consent of both factions, a substitute
resolution was introduced and passed.
1t was the suggestion of administration
men and, instead of calling upon the
Governor to state the authority for his
statements, it provides for Il committee
of three, including Senator Johnson and
Senators Frear and Hatten. to examine
the reports and verify the Governors
statements, or otherwise. The Assembly
committee on railroads recommended for
passage the 2-cent passenger fare bill.
The committee on penal and c1arita bic
institutions recommended for passage the
appropria tiOns for the several State i'll
situations, and also for the appropriation
of 100000 for an asylum for the Grim
inal insane in connection with the Osh-
kosh asylum. These recommendation
bills went to the committee on claims.
The bill making it mandatory upon police
officials to destroy gambling devices
which they have captured in raids upon
gambling dens passed the Senate The
Superior grain inspection bill was finally
passed in the Assembly. The anticigar

WHEN A REINDEER is ANGRY
He Will Try to Paw a Man to Death
Without Mercy or Reason.

Without Mercy or Reason.
We were forced to wait three days
after it had stopped showing for
crust to form so that we could travel
again. 1t was with many misgivings
that we began the last half of the
journey, since the snow was now very
deep and the danger of our sinking
into drifts was great. TO add to our
general feeling of fear, the reindeer
behaved very badly and were exceed
ingly unruly. The wind had moderat-
ed somewhat, but it was still intense
ly cold.
We had travelled half the day with
out any serious mishap and were be-
ginning to forget our fears at starting
out, when we sped merrily down a
mountain side, singing and halloaing
at the top of our voices, and ran into
a gulch and stuck there. The songs
stopped in our throats, and we sprang
to our feet to sink waist deep in the
drifts that had entrapped us.
Every movement of our bodies sank
us deeper in the snow drifts, and the
Infatuated reindeer, finding them
selves caught in the banked-up snow,
almost to their launches, turned upon
us and would have paved us to death
but for the forethOusht of Oosilik,
who, seeing our danger, sprang for
ward and, hosting the overturned
pulks in his strong arms, brought
them down over our heads and Shout
ders and pinned us out of sight in the
snow
We heard the hoofs of Uncle Ben
beating on the pull's side as he paved
up the snow in his efforts to get at us,
and if we had not held to the straps
and had not kept the pulk over US he
would have tossed it into the air with
one sweep of his horns and would still
have had his bout with us, in which
case we should have been helpless and
completely at his mercy.
For the first time we had occasion
to see how fierce an angry reindee.
can be. When he was convinced that
he could not reach us Uncle Ben
turned upon Oosilik, and we heard the
Eskimo shouting and clubbing the
deer as he ran in and out of the pulks
in a swift circuit, pursued by the
believing reindeer.
We spent an exciting half hour I'M
der the pulks. with the hOOfs of the
deer rafting like hail on the frozen
boards, and then the unusual commo-
ton ceased all at once, for the rein
deer had found a lichen bed. In
iiffy they were paving up the snow
in their hurry to get at the succulent
moss, and we were forgotten.
Amalik and Oosilik lifted the pulks
from our heads and dug us up out of
the snow AID set us on our feet By
the time the reindeer had eaten them
selves into a pasSable hunlor Amalik
and Oosilik led them back to the
pulks.
We had four hours of travelling be-
fore we came in sight of tie corral
that had sent us the reindeer from
Eaton Station. AS soon as the deer
scented the well-known corral they
ouickened their strides so that we
reached the station before it was quite
dark, and crawled from the sleds with
a deep feeling of relief, glad beyond
measure to be at home after the perils
of our protracted journey.-St Nicho-
las.
