A Sonsatlon.
Quite startling Herniation occurred on
Chicago avenue on Tuesday niglit tlic 7tli
inst. at tlic residence of our county clerk.
It will be rctnejy.il M.TCll that JIes.si'8. Poltz
and Dickson, the county commissioners,
board and room with Mr. Ciitcl. field
while in Kcftsion ns u county hoard, und,
also docp ii youn lady Hint we will here
duMigiiate as Miss X. It so happened on
tlie flight mentioned that there was a
social rivcn in the neighborhood and
Misj X was invited. Through the grave
curiosity of the coinniisioncr tlicy
thought to arrange an alarm in Home way
ho as to awaken them on the return of
the lady designated and lend them into
the intelligence as to the lime of return
and as to who accompanied the said lady.
Upon impiiry of Mrs. (Vitchfield as to.
what she could produce to make a noise,
she brought forward an old dish pan
with only one ear gone and said that it
was an article of tinware kIic had no use
for and that she wished to donate it to
the lady above mentioned anyway and
offered her willingness told them (com.)
place it at the young lady's disposal.
Thereupon the commissioners attached
ft string to the door knob and to the
lonely ear of the dish-pan, at the same
time putting the pan at the head of the
stairs that ascend immediately inxidc of
the dwor. They tilled the pan with some
clothespins which Mis. ('. had also do
nated to the young couple. After all
was arranged in proper shape the occu
pan's retired to awailr developments.
At precisely 12 o'clock footsteps were
heard at the front gate and after the pre
liminaries which are common in such
cases, Mr. liuz departed, only to be
recalled by the screams of his partner on
entering the door and at a noise that
Gabriel's horn will be no comparison.
The dishpan will never fqrget the jumps
from one step to the other as it decended
those stairs (if it ha any thinking facul
ty). Mr. liuz re-entered the gate as
fast as possible and asked; A-r-e u-u u
hur-hurt-d-d-dear? The answer was n-n-n-o-o-o,
d-d-dear. Then there was a
silence broken by beating hearts that was
easily heard up stairs where the commis
sioners were in bed stuffing the bedding
in their mouths to keep them from
laughing out. The silence wai then
iuinghd with whispers, threats, consoling
words, etc, whereupo'n the young cou
ple concluded they had'nt done so bad
after all, and so saying, the young Buz
took the dishpan and started home ejacu
lating that he was in possession of one of
the main articles of furniture for house
keeping. The parties, we understand,
are now planning to make a boat out of
the dishpan and descend the Missouri
river sc that themay not be here when
i;oltz ami Dickson return.

Small grain has not turned out to be
near as good as the farmers expected it
would be a month ago.
The present outlook for the potato
crop is very poor, from one third to one
half of a crop is about all that is expect

Mrs. J. Ii. Holmes and Mrs. F. M.

Co., N. V., on a visit last week. Their
father died there last spring but they did
iioi hear of it until a few weeks ago.
About the happiest man around here is

last week, for a home, but what makes
him so happy is, it i the first boy of five
children that has called tl;erc fr a resi
dence. George Boeck, who lives five miles
west of here, met with a singular accident
la-it week, which came near proving quite
serious to him. As related to us. he was
sitting on the tail of his windmill, sawing
it o!T, and when he had completed the
sawing, it fell and he went with it, fall
ing about thirty feet and lighting on top
of a milk house, hurting Mr. Ilocc-k very
bad, hrciiking two ribs and otherwise in
juring him. We have heard tell of peo
ple climbing trees, and standing on limbs
that they were sawing off. but this is the
first time that we heard tell of a man sit
ting on the tail of a windmill, and saw
ing it off. This item is open for correc
tion, if we have been wrongly informed,
we will make all necessary apologies.
Th- cjrn crop has been exceptionally
promising but the three weeks dry weath

BCAUTIES OF THE CORN PALACE
Sioux City's Famous ExDposition
Building Ono of the Finest Combi
nations of tho Handiwork of Na
ture and Man.
I'loni the bh.ux C ity Tc' nnnii. Auk. C
In all that has been writUn A Sioux
City's famous Corn l'alace, in whatever
ligh; it has been discussed, the predom
inating thought of all who have seen it,
has been its surpassing beauty. No cut,
no photograph, no pen picture nor dis
criptiou can give an idea of its absolute
brightness, uniqueness and beauty. The
wonderful combination of green and
gold, of orange and yellow, wero never
equalled in the artistic work of man.
And herein, perhaps, lies the chief charm
of the Coin l'alace, end that magnetic
attraction which brought thousands of
people from long distances to see the
Palace of I8H7. und will bring hundreds
of thousands to view the. 1'ilace of lHSfj;
for it is the glorious woik of Nature,
supplemented by the cunning handicraft
of man, which serves to delight the eye
and send the blood bounding more joy
fully through the veins at sight of such
marvelous splendor. The old saying
that 'God made the countiy and man
made the town," may without profanity
be paraphrased in speaking of Sioux
Jity's Corn l'alace God and man
worked hand in hand in its building!
The glories of . the Corn l'alace, how
ever as far as have been described, are
necessarily in the past tense. The Corn
l'alace of 1H87 was grand, beautiful, in
spiring; in the light of experience and
increased enthusiasm, the coin l'alace of
18MSJ will be incalculably more grand,
more beautiful, more inspiring. It will
be built on a grander und more elaborate
scale; it will contain nil the good and
successful features of the l'alace of 1SS7,
together with all the new effect a which
xperience and the taste ot its architect,
builder and decorators can suggest.
Aside from its significance as an example
of the boundless agricultural resources of
the Northwest, it will have a refining and
educating influence; it will be a thing of
beauty and a joy forever to all who see it;
it will go far toward proving to the world
that the people of the west have a gentle
and artistic f iste, nqt the less gentle
and artistic because we are near to Na
tuie's heart.
The Corn Palace will qpen September
24 and will close October ii, 1888. Spec
ial excursion trains at low rates on all
railroads. Special amusements and at
tractions each day. The whole world is
invited.
BLAINE HAS COME.

the reviewing stand
Having been erected at Madison Suqare,
on Fifth avenue, tonight, the parade took
place. Although the stand itself was
crowded, a small space set apart for dis
tinguished guests was kept clear. Hon.
Levi P. Morton, candidate for vice presi
dent, took tho Maine statesman's place.
As the head of the procession reach
ed the stand Mr. Morton ascended, ac
companied by a muvihev of prominent
republican.?. As the procession reached
the stand, and each battalion caught sight
of Morton, loud cheers went up for the
candidate for vice president, whose pres
ence for the time being dissipated the
disapoiutment caused by Blaine's non
arrival. There was no speech making.
As soon as th.3 jirGcesiionJrcacued Twenty
third sir-cei it disbanded.
The Inman line steamer City of New
York, with lion- James G. Blaine, on
board, was sighted southeast of Fire Is
land at 1:15 a. m.
A young m.n who descended from
pocr but noble parents, stepped into the
book store of Mr. J. P. Young within the
last few days, apparently on no particular
errand and just desirous of looking
around. While he remained in the store
he seemed to be anxious to relate some of
his thrilling experiences and bis victims
appeared ugreeable to his desire and
waited for developments. lie said tnat
he had been born in the old country and
had only recently taken up his abode on
this side of the briny, lie had liyed in
some of the large cities in this country
and the last one he had been in he had
been badly treated. He said that a ci lip
id of roughs had followed him one night
and in order to escape he entered a three
story building and climbed to the roof.
When he reached the roof and looked
over the side of the building a cannon
was fired at him, the ball striking the
side of his face. After completing sever
al more yarns of a similar nature he asked
for a musical instrument and when ques
tioned as to what kind he wished to try
he replied: "I cau play any kind, but
when them acordeons is so near ter yer,
hand me over one of them. I used to
manufacture them in the old country."
He ;ot his fists attached to the instru
ment and then came the trying moment.
The first odeal, which lasted but for two
or three seconds while he sounded a few
notes, was endured by the audience, but
when they realized that he was only tun
ing up and making preparations for the
pursuance of an instrumental solo, the
crowd dispersed, one seeking solitude at
the back of the shop, another taking his
exit by the front door, while the reporter
did not wait to see in which direction the
remainder escaped, but looked out for
himself. When the discordant amuse
ment to the celebrated nincompoop was
stopped in some way by the proprietor,
the crowd was called back for the pur
pose of making an examination of the
intruder. His cheek where he claimed
the cannon ball had struck was found to
be without a dint and as hard as a rock.
THE "REPTILE FUND."
SECRET SERVICE FUNDS AT PRINCE
BISMARCK'S DISPOSAL.
Method ly Which the Iron Chancellor
Control tho German Irca Collection
of Personal lufonnutlon Woe Which
Ilctide an Unfortunate Journal.
Tho reptile fund so called becauso of
Prince Ilismarek's own pbraso consists of
the confiscated fortune of the kiii of Han
over, together with an unknown grant from
the war indemnity. fcieukijig of the at
tacks liiado ujhii the government by
the press, the chancellor exclaimed on
a memorable occasion that as his ad
ministration was so exjKscd to malig
nant misrepresentations at tho hands of its
adversaries, ho did not think it tolerable that
ho bliould ks left unarmed u.-iinst so jiower
ful and so unscrupulous a foe. '"1 must have
means," ho said, "with which to hunt those
reptiles to their holes and destroy them
there." Hence the so called reptile fund,
which is simply an indefinite amount of
secret service money at tho disposal of
Prince IMsmarck for controlling the press.
With its aid he is said to have organized a
news service for the benefit of the German
government, tho like of which exists no
where outside of th pages of tho French
novels which describe tho spy system of
Foueho. At its head stands Hei r Holstein,
the amo danmee of Prince Bismarck, who
has ut his command a disciplined host of con
fidential reporters, who enable him to follow
unseen tho movements of all his adversaries.
Tho great chancellor never neglects any foe,
no matter how insignificant.
At the chancellery of the secret intelli
gence bureau at Berlin, under Hei r Holstein,
are kept the dossiers of every mun or woman
whom from thno to timo it thinks necessary
to Prince Bismarck to watch with a view to
ulterior developments. The minuteness of
tho information thus stored up for future
uso is very extraordinary, and suggests
many uncomfortable reflections. A friend
ot mine resident in Germany once had an
opiortunity of seeing his own dossier. There
in he found set down all particulars of him
self and his family and his relatioao. a list
was given of all the people whom ho was in
tho habit of receiving, and a detailed report
of all the cor respondents to whom he was in
habit of ritiug. To this man, it was -written,
ho sends letters every ycok, to the other
every day, to a third he writes sometimes
twice a week, tmd then cea;es to write for a
week or a month.
But tho iossessiqn of art Jnefiane nmouitt
c.f 6vci ev Vi v ice money for purposes of cor
ruption, and the accumulation from all the
unseen channels of ubiquitous secret police of
a vast reservoir of information for use if re
quired, are by no means the only instruments
by . .oh Prince Bismarck keeps his press in
good order. "How is it done?' ecIa;iWt
witty victim of cJ.aneedoi-'s surveillance,
"It is very simple. Some fine day all the
editors of Berlin are summoned to the ofliee
of the oracle. They are told that the govern
ment is in possession of sucl and such an
important piow-epf information which is com
municated 'to them, not'fqr publicti, uut
in confidence, iQ'vrite'j iua -:
V
i mo oppor-
ivm they may be well in-
.jieiL A nod is as good as a wink to a
blind horse, and before very long one or other
of the editors discovers in some mysterious
way that the time has arrived when the cat
must be let out of the bag. He lets it out ac
cordingly, and all his brethern follow suit,
and the news, true or false, in launched in
due form."
''But what," I asked, "if an editor refuses
to take the hint and obstinately abstains
from circulating tho official communique?"
"Theu," was the reply, "it does not go well
with that exceptional newspaper. Misfort
unes always attend tho journal which is fool
hardly enough to ignore a hint from above."
"What kind of misfortunes?" "Oh, all kinds
of misfortune. Dormant htwsuits mysteri
ously reappear; official advertisements are
withdrawn; privileges of salo or of display,
which depend upon the good will of the ad
ministration, are suspended. But perhaps
the most efficient allies of the chancellor and
his myrmidons are the venders of quack
medicines for the cure of unmentionable dis
eases." "How, in the name of wonder, can
that be?" "It is very simple. In the father
land the government charges itself with
watchful solicitude for the morals of its sub
jects. But as even Homer some t fines nods,
so tho most vigilant administrations some
times fail to discover that the columns of
German newspapers are defiled by the Inser
tion of advertisements of immoral pills or by
the address of unclean doctors. When, how
ever, any newspaper continuously opposes
itself to the will of the authorities, the cus
todian of public morals put3 on his spectacles,
and woo betide the unfortunate journal if in
the obscurest corner of his badly printed
page there should be discovered lurking an
allusion to the objectionable pill or the dis
reputable physician. The administration ia
down upon him at once, and punishment is
heaped on punishment until the editor con
sents to dance to the piping of power. Then
the custodian of public morals once more
slumbers and sleeps, and the quack adver
tises his pills in peace."
Add tothis that press prosecutions for press
offenses are as plentiful as blackberries, that
editors are sent to jail as felons for what
would be regarded in England as perfectly
justifiable criticism upon the chancellor, that
half the cities in Germany are under a state
of siege, and jou can form some idea of the
facilities which Prince Bismarck possesses
for manipulating the journals of the father
land. Pall Mall Gazette.
American Students of Music.
Professor Joachim, of the Royal Academy
of Music, chatted amiably about American
students. "They have," he said, "a mis
taken idea of the tasks -which are before
them. Nearly all of them expect to become
finished arti9ts in a twelvemonth or so,
whereas it takes years of training to develop
even the greatest talent I like the energy
with which they go to work, and I do not
find, as it lias often been said, that this en
thusiasm soon wears itself out. I find ability
to work hard and to work steadily and per
sistently nearly always go hand in hand with
my transatlantic pupils, the only trouble
being that they usually arrive two or three
years before their time. There are admir
able instructors in the United States, and it
would be better for the students to take ad
vantage of the home opportunities to their
fullest .extent before coming here, for then
they would escape the drudgery, and (with a
shrug) we would escape it, too." Blakely
Hall s Berlin Letter.
Japanese Spinning: Machines.
The British consul at Ningpo calls the at
tention of British manufacturers to spinning
machines used in his district that were im
ported from Japan, and which he thinks will
eventually be adopted in cotton producing
countries. The advantages claimed for them
as compared with the method of spinning
used in America are that the staple is less
injured and that the seeds are better cleaned.
This is attained by drawing the cotton be
tween straight steel edges or knives, instead
ef using saws. Chicago Herald.
WnEXCE COMES SPEECH!
A STRANGE CASE RECORDID IN
A DOSTON NEWSPAPER.
Two IJrothers V.lio Speak a New l.an-tfiia-n
A Parallel Case in the Mufe ut
NevuJa The Children of the Hast lie.
Freaks.
A Boston newspaper recently published nn
account of two brothers living in that city,
who, it declares, have grown to man's cst.Uo
without ever being able to speak the Hnglish
language, although born in the United Slates
of American parents, ami having heard
English spoken continuously. Their vocal
organs huve leen examined by the best spe
cialists and found to Ihj jH-rfectly normal.
These brothers-, it is asserted, speak a lan
guage of their own, which they jK-rfectly
understand, but winch, thus far, has beeu
unintelligible to everybod v el-e. Some words
of the language were given by the journal
referral to, nnrl a philologist would trace a
resemblance, if nothing more, to Sanscrit.
But the cast refci red to is not wit hout its
parallel. The-writer of this articlo saw, on
more than one occasion, two children, a
brother and sister, living at a little stage
station in the state of Nevada, who had in
vented a language of their own, w hich they
constantly used in talking with each other.
The girl .was 9 or 10 years of age, and the
boy a year or two younger. There could bo
no deception and no mistake about the mat
ter. The children would play together nud
chatter in this strange sjn h of their own
devising, and it was periec ly apparent that
it was not such meaningless gihh-rMi a
children olten :: i. ;. , bui, a .nunte
language. It resembled no language with
which the writer hail any acquaintance.
There eonld be detected no resemblance to
any modern language, no similarity to root
forms or steins which may l-e said, roughly,
to bo common to all spoken languages; nor
was there any likeness to either Latin or
Greek, and, consequently, none to the cog
nate language which is called Sanscrit.
The children were not at all shy abont tak
ing in the presence U iiei-s, but thev
cor VI noj, be made to understand what trans
lation from English, into their language
meant. They understood English, and could
and did speak it when spoken tu; but they
either could not cr .vwidd not gh e the equiva
lents of English words in 'their own language.
The mother of the children said slwoo.tdd Uvt
in any way account for thi sttaiig'o .jiVigu'tiitio
freak, f-nm 51,4 that tha first tivno bhe'Ward
tliem, aiu indeed for many limes afterward,
she paid no attention, as she supposed they
were "only jabbering nonsense," as she ex
pressed it, and so she was entirely unable to
say whether the language was evolutionary
or whether the children spoke it i'u-t :A well
the first time as tho )ai.t, Vhy certainly
spoko rnobU oJ it -when the w riter heard
them 'to understand them without any diffi
culty, although it seemed to tho writer f; c-m
the cursory observations ho could luako that
tho vocabulary was a ve.rv limited one.; b't
that -vyouid have been equally h
children of that acre in u''
Enehsli ' a ' "' . -en siwaking
ere has been a story in vogue for many
years, although it is impossible to verify it
and it i3 probably apocryphal, that for the
purpose of determining whether there was a
primal language, and if so what it was, two
infants were at one time confined in the Bus
tile and were never allowed to hear a word
of any language spoken, it being supposed
that nature would supply them with the
means of communicating with each other as
they grew old enough to talk, and that tho
controversy as to a primal language would
le conclusively determined. The story says,
however, that up to 11 j'ears of age the chil
dren never uttered an articulate sound. They
communicated with each other in a fashion,
but it was entirely by signs, and not by any
thing resembling a soken language of any
kind. The story goes on to say that they
were then released from their confinement
and placed among people w here they heard
French spoken all around them, and that
they soon learned to speak the language
which they heard, but never gave any signs
of knowing any other tongue.
The story may be true, or it may not. If
it is, it would tend very strongly to show
that our speech is the result of imitation, md
that the faculty of articulate speech depends
on tho ability to repeat what is gathered from
the speech of others. This view receives
confirmation from tho observation of deaf
and dumb people, who are, as a rule., dumb
because they are deaf. They X'ossess the
vocal organs fully developed, but they can
not speak because they are not able to imi
tate either the sound of language or the
mechanical vocal efforts of speaking persons,
and this, not because of innate inability, but
because of the lack of a medium of intercom
munication. And yet the observation of the cases in
Massachusetts and Nevada to which we have
referred shows that there must be exceptions
to what would seem to be a general rule.
Those children in Nevada knew no more of
the accepted theories of philology than they
did of the differential calculus. They did
not know the first thing about tho develop
ment theory ; they never heard of the rules
of linguistic structure; and yet they con
structed for. themselves a language which
was, for all practical purposes, just as much
a language as Hebrew or Greek or German
or English. It meant something to them;
each could understand the other; each could
say what he or she wanted to say, and that
constitutes a language.
The Boston case is somewhat different, if
it is told correctly. In that case there would
seem to be soma structural deficiency in the
brain some distorted convolution or some
thing of the sort for, generally speaking, a
man who can speak one language can speak
every other, at least after a fashion ; but
these brothers, it is asserted, cannot speak
English, although they can understand it to
a certain extent.
These cases, strange as they ma- bo, do not
militate in any degree against the generally
received doctrines of philology. They are
freaks of nature, nothing more, and are, If
we stop to consider, no more strange than
other cases with which we are familiar.
San Francisco Chronicle,
Chicago's Underground Railway.
Chicagohas organized an underground rail
way company with a capital stock of $27,000.
Its general plan is to build and equip twenty
seven miles of road covering the several di
visions of the city, the underground roadway
to be from 100 to 12o feet below the surface.
The proposition is that the road shall not
only be used for passenger traffic between
the city and the suburbs, but also for frieght
business to the relief of the present railroad
centers and the better accommodation of the
business public. At the great central depot,
for instance, it is proposed to build an im
mense subterranean yard for the hanclling of
frieght cars, and this will be connected with
the several depots by tunnels and tracks.
The loaded cars can thus be taken into the
main tunnel at any of the termini, the grade
being the same as the ground surface, and
can at night be brought to the city, switched
to the depots and raised by elevators. Bos
