he? What had he come to the city
for? In my restless state of mind his
advent made me doubly anxious.
I asked no questions; there was no
need to, for the news of the strangers
arrival was already known

mics for putting you in prison." said

"Ohi How soT
"a knight has just come to the pal

From the rebel camp? I saw him
passing through the streets. What
news does he bring?"
You're in too great hurry, Clinton
They say the king will not talk of
business tonight, so the news will not
be told until tomorrow. Who was the
knight? Did you know him."
NO"
Who was this knight who, coming
from the princess camp, was allowed
to enter the city so freely? The net
was closing in upon US, and sickly
fear took hold of me.

and said to Organ:

MASONIC WINDOW IN THE
YANkTON CHURCH UNIQUE

Yankton. S. D., Sept. 13.-In Christ
Episcopal church, this city, is a beau
tiful window, filed with Masonic en-
blems, and presented to the church on
Ascension day, 1883.
Rev. w. j. Harris, D. D., a former
rector here, and who designed this win
dow, and in fact most of the others and
the church itself, writes to say that
after some inquiry he believes this win
dow to be the only one in a church on
the western hemisphere that has for
its subject the order of the knights
Templar, or any other Masonic body, so
far as that goes.
The communication has aroused
much interest in a window that hith-
erto has received but a passing thought.
Further inquiry has failed to show that
any place Of Christian worship in Eu-
rope has such a window, and it looks
as if the window in question stood
unique, the only Masonic window in
any Christian church in the world, as it
certainly is in this country.

turns to Mitchell and Takes
Up Notorious Case.

Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 13.-With thu
arrival home today Of States Attorney
Herbert, interest in the Plotner-Quinn
case Will be revived. AS soon as Mr..
Herbert makes some inquiry in the
circumstances surrounding the charges
Of adultery, he expects to have tho
examination Of the defendants. 1t will
require a couple Of days to get this
done.
In speaking Of the visit of the Quinn
family to Mitchell last week and Of
their efforts to press the charge Of
murder against PlOtnsr, Mr.. Herbert
said that when the re!atives were here
about two years ago with their at
torney, Floyd d. Sterling, he had put
forth every effort to Investigate the
evidence they presented which tended
TO connect PlOtner with the death Of
Peter Quinn. After the matter had
been gone over thoroughly, Mr.. StcrI-
ing. the Quinns' attorney, ended the
case by declining to ask for a war
rant for the arrest Of PIotner when
the evidence had been presented so
plainly that it was q case Of suicide.

day they said they were coming back
this week to again press the charges.

some reason unknown to me-" said
Mrs. Quinn today, but all the things
they have shown or tried to show are
false. The letters I am charged with
getting from Plotner are forgeries. l

Minneapolis. My husband died by his
own hand. He was good to me, but
he had been drinking and was de-
spondent. There are plenty Of persons
who saw my husband drink Carbolic
acid and saw him fall and die. What
more do they want?
THE Quinns are good people and
they were good to me until my hus-
band died; since then they have per-
