THE SIOUX COUNTY JOURNAL I L J. SIMMONS, Proprietor. HARRISON, - - NEBRASKA Curytec Thing With a High lland. Lokpon, April L A dispatch from Buenos Ayres says that the eupportere of Saenz Piena for the presidency are carrying things with a high hand. They i-ve behind them the influence of the government and of the British mercan tile colony. There ia a strong element in Argentine hostile to the Piena move ment and in favor of keeping the repub lic aloof from European complications and influences. Piena is known to be decidedly in harmony with the Euro pean element, and not in favor of any commercial arrangement that would bring Argentine into closer connection with the United States. This senti ment is also shared by the present ad ministration in Argentine and the mili tary and civil authorities are being ueed to crush out the popular agitation in behalf of a rule that wauld represent the native Argentine sentiment. It is said but for the visit of Admiral Walk er and his iquadron the European ele ment would have given open expression to their hostility to American influences. The American colony was greatly en couraged by the presence of United Slates war vessels, and there has been a marked abatement of the indolence pre viously displayed in certain quarters toward Americans. Caught the Anarchists King Leader, PAKra, April L The proof that Rava chol. the anarchist leader in the recent outrages, is a desperate criminal whose neck should be under the guillotine, has intensified the excitement and appre hensions in regard to anarchist outrages. The police, on the other hand, express Bratincation at the discovery. There is no longer any doubt of the identity of Ravachol with the notorious criminal, Koenigstein. Koenig9tein has been noted as a criminal from boyhood, and has, it is believed been guilty of several murders, but in only one casa has a cap ital orime been brought home to him by evidence sufficient to satisfy a court. His fierce resistance to the police, when arrested on Wednesday, is accounted for by his consciousness that he was under sentence for a capital crime and 'that death would follow identification. It is stated that he has admitted that he has been guilty of several murders and that they were committed for the purpose of robbery. A search of Ravaohoi's lodgings Las brought to light a quantity of materials used in the manufacture of bombs. At bis examination Ravachol denied con nection with the dynamite outrages in St. Germahi and Rue Clicby. Cyclone at Mellon. Nelson, Netx, April L A most dis astrous cyclone passed through here lust evening. It was Erst seen in the south went, in the shape of clouds rapid- ly whirling.

The names are: Miss Mary lirayman, Mrs. John Ea ton, H. H. Williams, Alice Williams, John H. Hunt. A number of business houses, and dwellings were demolished or greatly damaged.

Secretary Noble appealed before the senate com mittee on territories yesterday and made a statement in reference to charges against him by President Gibson of the National Yellowstone park association. Some weeks ago President Gibson charged that the secretary had been ac tuated by political and personal motives in granting leases for hetel and other public purposes in the park, and recent ly he appealed to the senate committee on territories in connection with the matter and there has been written a letter from Secretary Noble denying the charges. The secretary also made a personal denial to the committee. He aaid he was not hostile to the Yellow stone park association, but believed that the distribution of contracts was con ducted in a manner best calculated to advance the interests of all concerned. Craih In a Theatre. Rochkstir, N. Y, April 1. The "Can't Be Worse" dramatic company attempted to give a performance at the Bijou theatre last eight called toe "De feated Candidates." During the per formance the audience begun pelting the actors with eggs, carrots and brick- bate from the galleries, and in the ex citement the first balcony gave way, throwing a number of peop!e to the lower floor, a distance of fifteen feet.

THE HAUNTED CHAMBER. "THE DUCHESS CIIAPTr.il II. Every day and all day long there is liothwgbut rehearsing. In every comer two or more may be seen studying the parts they have to play. Florence Delinaine alone refuses to rehearse her part except iu full company, though Mr. Dynecourt ha made many attempts to induce her to favor him with private reading of those scenes in which he and she must act together. He has even appealed to Dora Talbot to help him in this matter, which she is only too willing to do, as she is secretly desirous of Hinging the girl as much in h's way as possible. Indeed anything that would Keep Florence out of Sir. Adrian's sight would be welcome to her; so that she listens kindly to Arthnr Dyuecourt when he solicits her assistance. "She evidently shuns me," he says in an aggrieved tone to her one evening, sinking into the seat besides her "Ex cept a devotion to her that is singularly sincere, I know of nothing about me tint cau be regarded by her as an offense. Yet it appears to me that she dislikes me." 'There I am sure you are wrong," declares the widow, tapping his arm lightly with her fan. "She's but a girl she hardly knows her own mind." "She's seems to know it pretty well when Adrian addressed her," he says, with a sullen glance. At this Mrs. Talbot can not repress a start; she grows a little pale, and then tries to hide her confusion by a smile. But the smile is forced, and Arthur Dynecourt, watching her, reads her heart as easily as if it were an open book. "1 don't suppose Adrian cares for her," he goes on quietly. "At least" here he drops his eyes "I believe, with a little judicious management, his thoughts might be easily diverted into another chanel." ' You think so V" asks Mrs. Talbot faintly, trifling with her fan. "I can not say 1 have noticed that his at tentions to her have been in any way particular." "Not as yet," agrees Dynecourt, studying her attentively; "And I might be open with you," he adds, breaking o!T abruptly and assuming an air of anxiety "we might perhaps mutually help each other." "Help each other?" "Dear Mrs Talbot," says Dynecourt softly, "has it never occurred to you how safe a thing it would be for my cousin Sir. Adrian to marry a sensible woman a woman who understands the world and its ways a woman young and beautiful certainly, hut yet conversant with the convenances of society? Such a woman would rescue Adrian from the shoals and quicksands that surround him in the form of mer cenary friends and scheming mothers. Such a woman might surely be found. .N'ay, 1 think I myself could put my hand upon her if 1 dared, at this moment." Mrs. Talbot trembles slitghtly, and blushes a good deal, but says nothing- ' lie is my nearest of kin," goes on Dynecourt, in the same low Impassive voice. "Naturally 1 am interested in him and my interest on this point is surely without motive; as were he never to marry, were he to leave no heir, .vere he to die some sudden death" here a remarkable change overspread his features "I should inherit all the and you see around you, and the title resides." Sirs. Talbot is still silent. She merely bows her head in assent "Then you see, I mean kindly toward 'dm when I suggested that he should marry some one calculated to sustain his rank in the world," continues Dynecourt "As I have sail before, I know one who would fill the position charmingly, If she would deign to do so." 'And who?" falters Dora Talbon nervously. "May I say to whom I allude?" he murmurs. "Mrs. Talbot, pardon me if 1 have been impertinent in thinking of you as that woman." A little flickering smile adorns Dora's lips for a moment, then suddenly emembering that smiles do not become Her, Hie relapses into her former calm. ' You flatter," he responds, with elhng emphasis. "Hut, I can see you re not angry, and so I am emboldened to say plainly, I would gladly see you my cousin's wife. Js the idea not altogether abhorrent to you?" "No. Oh. no!" "it is perhaps pardon me If I go too far-even agreeable to you. "Mr. Dynecourt," says Mrs. Talbof, suddenly glancing at him and laying her jeweled fingers lightly on his arm "I will confess to yo:i that I am tired of being alone-dependent on myself, as it were thrown on my judgement lor me answering or every question that arises. I would gladly acknowledge a superior head. 1 would have some one to help me now and then with a word of advice; in short, 1 would have a husband. And"here she lays her fan against her lips and glances archly at him "I confess too that I like Sir Adrian as-well as well as any man I know." "He Is a very fortunate man" gravely. "I would he knew his happiness." -x., ..nrirf.- savs Mr. Talbot, with well-feigned alarm. 'You would not even hint to him buch a thing as as" Phe stops, coi fused. "I shall hiut nothing-do nothing, except what you can wish. Ah, Mrs. Talbot"-with a heavy sigh-" you art supremely happy I I envy you. With your fascination- and"-insinuatingly- word in season Irom me I see no reason why you should not claim as your own the man whom you well, let us say, like; while I-" "If I can befriend you in any way,' interrupts Dora quickly, "command me." She is indeed quite dazzled by the picture he has painted before his eyes. Can it be-it is-possible, that Sir Adrian may some day be hers? Apart from his wealth, she regards him with very tender feelings, and of late she has been rendered at times absolutely miserable by the thought that he has fallen a victim to the charms of the charms of Florence. Now if, by means of this man, her rival can be kept out of Adrian's way all may yet be well, and her host may be brought to her leet before her visit comes to an end. Of Arthur Dynecourt's infatuation for Florence she is fully aware, and is right in deeming that part of his ad miration for the beautiful girl has grown out of his knowledge of her money-bags. Still, she argues to her self, his love is true and faithful, despite his knowledge of her dot, and he will in all probablity make her as good a husband as she is likely to lind. ".May I command you?" asks Arthur in his softest tones. "You know my secret, I believe. Ever since that last meeting at Brighton, when my heart overcame me and made me show my sentiments openly and your presence, you have been aware of the hopless passion that is consuming me 1 may be mad, but I still think that, with opportunities and time, I might make myself at least tolerated by Miss Delmaine. Will yo i help me in this matter? Will you give me a chance of pleading my cause with her alone? 15y so doing" with a meaning smile "you will also give my cousin the happy chance of seeing you alone." Dora only too well understands h's insinuation. Laterally Sir Adrian and Florence have been almost inseparable. To now meet with one whoso interest is to keep them asunder in very pleasant to her. "Will help you," she says in a low tone. "Then try to induca Miss Delmaine to give a private rehearsal to-morrow in the north gallery," he whispers hurriedly, seeing Captain Yilliers ap proaching. "Hush! Not another word! 1 rely upon you above all things, remember that what lias occurred is only between you and me. It is our little plot," he says, with a curious smile that somehow strikes a chill to Mrs. Talbot's heart She is faithful to her word neverthe less, and late that night, when all have gone to their rooms, she puts on her dressing-gown, dismisses her maid, and crossing the corridor, taps lightly at the door of Florence's apartment Hearing some one cry ''Come in," she opens the door, and having fastened it again, goe3 over to where Florenca is sitting while her maid is brushing her long soft hair that reaches almost to the ground as she sits. "Let. lot brush your hair to-night Flo," she says gayly. "Let me be your maid for once. Remember how I used to do it for you sometimes when we were in Switzerland last year." "Yery well you may," acquiesces I Florence, laughing, "Good-night Parkins. Mrs. Talbot has won you your release. Parkins having gladly withdrawn, Dora takes up the ivory-handled brush and gently begins to brush her cousin's hair. After some preliminary conversation leading up to the subject she has in hand, she says carelessly "By the bye, Flo, you are rather uncivil to Arthur Dynecourt, don't you think ?" "Uncivil?" "Well-yes. That is the word for your behavior toward hirn, I think. Do you know, I am afraid Sir Adrian has noticed it, and arn't you afraid he will think it rather odd of you rude, i mean considering he is his cousin?" "Not a very favorite cousin, I fancy." "For all that, people don't like seeing their relations slighted. I once knew a man who used to abuse his brother all day long, but, if any one else happened to say one disparaaing word of him in his presence itput him in a pretty rage. And, after all, poor Arthur has done nothing to deserve actual ill-treament at your hands." "I detest him. And, besides, it is a distinct impertimence to follow any one about from place to place as he has followed me. I will not submit to it calmly. It is a positive persecution." 'My dear, you must not blame him if he lias lost his head about you. That is rather a compliment, if anything." "I shall always resent such compli ments." "He is certainly very gentlemanly in all other ways, and I must say de voted to you. He is handsome too, is he not; and has quite theairofone accustomed to command in society ?" Has he paid you to ting his praises? asks Florence, with a little laugh; v irari 1 h"'fr . :llV Paw- that liora - j , . ...hip wbic -1 mean," sl,e .m ... 7 . , rather hurried v. a, in WrJ-la !lllk it is good f rm iu b.K - , - n,,,nah.Mi,t hold where one . ... i.i. inU-d rudeness.

"Your two or three have great w-rsi'icacity. i'hey even hinted tome." Dora goes on deliberately, "that your dislike to I, arose from the lart that you were Piqued at his beuig our stage lover, instead of-sir Adrian!" It costs her an t-flurt to utter th words, but the effect produced by them is worth the effort .1, 1 ' W !f Florence, growing ueuuiy , , releases her hair from her cousins grasp, and ri-s quickly to Mr feet "I don't know who jour gossips may may be" she says slowly; "hut they are wrong- quite wTong-d you hear My dislikes to Mr. Dynecourt arises from very different feelings. He s distasteful to me in many ways; but, as I am inidesirous that my manner should give occasion for surmises such as you have just mentioned to me, I will give aD opportunity of reciting his part to ine, alone, as soon as ever he wishes." 'I think you are right, dearest," responds Mrs. Talbot sweetly. She is a little afraid of her cousin's but still maintains her positions bravely. "It is always a mark of folly to defy the public opinion. Do not wait for him to ask you again to go through your play with him alone, but tell him yourself to-morrow that you will met him for that purpose in the north gallery some time during the day." "Yery well," says Florence; but her face still betrays dislike and disincli nation to the course recommended. "And, Dora, I don't think I want my hair brushed anymore, thanks; my head is aching sojjread fully." This is a hint that she will be glad of Mrs. Talbot's speedy departure; and, that lady takiug the hint Florence. is soon left to her own thoughts. The next morning, directly after breakfast, sho finds an opportunity to tell Mr. Dynucourt that she will give him half an hour In the north gallery to try over his part with her, as she considers it will be better, and more conducive to the smoothness of the piece, to learn any little mannerism that may belong to either of them To this speech Dynecourt makes a suitable reply, aud names a particular hour for them to meet Mis3 Del maine, having given a grave assent to this arraneement moves away, as though glad to be rid of her corapauion. A few minutes afterward Dynecourt meeting Mrs. Talbot in the hall, gives her an expressive ghuics, and tells her in a low voice that he considers him self deeply In her debt (L'onlinued next week) Did The llrutei Talk? One summer morning, a very sultry one, two cows came to our gate, evi nentlyon the lookout for something, and after being somewhat puzzled by their pleading looks, I bethought my self that they may be in want of water. No sooner had this idea occured to me than I had some water brought iu a large vessel, which they took with great eagerness. The pair then saun tered away contentedly to a field near at hand. In about half an hour or so we were surprised and not a little amus ed by seeing our two friends marching up to the gate accompanied by three other cows.
