Mlss Harrison , a young lady whoso homo
Is In Chicago , called on Judge Smith yester
day afternoon nnd begged him for n pardon
for her brother , L. Harrison , who Is now
serving n term In the penitentiary. Harri
son , It will bo remembered , fell through the
pinto glass windows of the Mint , the Colum
bia , Heno's store nnd several other places ,
while In n drunken state , and while Insldo
improved the opportunity of stealing some
of the different kinds of stuff that was on
sale there. He wan tried nnd hisicxcuseof
drunkenness not being deemed a valid one ,
was sent to the penitentiary for two ycai-s.
One year hns now expired nnd Miss Hnrrl-
son wants n pardon Issued by the Judge In
order that her brother may have n chance to
show how much moral Improvement has
been worked In him by his enforced good
behavior behind the prison walls.
Her only ground for such a request Is that
her brother has conducted himself according
to Hoylo ever slnco his conilncment , but us
ho could not very well do any other way
without tunning the risk of having his head
blown off or suflcrlng some other punish
ment more useful but less pleasant , he Is not
Inclined to give the request much attention.
Ho agreed , however , to look over the papers
and the evidence in the case , iin'd if he linds
n good excuse for his milking himself into an
angel of mercy , he will doubtless perform
the great transformation scene.

Hoard Motions.
The damaged meat case had n brlof vaca
tion yesterday in the district court , and will
jo taken up on Monday again. The trial of
riminal cases , which it was expected would
jc commenced tomorrow , will have to be post
poned for a little while. They will probably
jo taken up on Tuesday or Wednesday. AH
lay yesterday was occupied with the hear
ing of motions. One of the most Important
was the motion for a now trial in the $40,000
damage suit of Dr. C. O. Hood against the
Northwestern Hallway company. It was
argued and submitted.
Arguments were also made on n demurrer
in the cases of Jacob Sims against Pottawat-
tamlo county , in which the plaintiff demands
fees for his services In prosecuting liquor
Injunction suits. The county attorney claims
that the county is not liable for the fees in a
certain proportion of the cases , from the
fact that at the time when they
were tried the law did not create
any liability to the county. In Janu <
nry , 1SSS , a lav ; was passed making the
county liable , but the claim of the defense Is
that in the absence of any direct statutory
provision the county cannot bo made a party
to the suit. The defense also claims that
an attorney cannot collect any fees from the
county for his bervices excepting when the
fees cannot bo collected from the saloon
keepers who have been enjoined.

Li. O. Williams of this city has returned
from Cherokee , where ho went last week to
attend n meeting of the fruit growers of the
northwestern part of Iowa , There has been
but little fruit grown la that part of the
state heretofore , but this year the crops were
considerably better than these in the more
favorable cllmutes in the south. This fact
lias encouraged the fruit men of that vicin
ity In thu belief that the extension of the
xfrult-ruiblng industry will bo a prolltablo
venture , and they accordingly mot for the
purpose of effecting an organization of tholr
own. A society to bo known us'tho North
western Iowa Horticultural society was
formed , with a charter membership of fifty ,
and composed of the twenty counties north
of Harrison county and west of the Des
Molnes river. This cuts In two the original
Western Horticultural society , which will
clmngo Its name by prcllxing the word
"South" to its old name.

How Ho Wan Located.
Considerable interest was aroused In the
case of M. G. Robinson , the Union Pacific
Tea company's man , and Miss Grace Austin ,
irhich was telegraphed to THE TAr.r. from
Sioux City yesterday morning. An informa-
ion was filed in Justice Swcaringcn's ofllco
ovcral days ago for the arrest of Robinson
in the charge of seduction , but it was kept
I'ery quiet , in the hope that ho would come
, o terms without having to bo put under
trrcst. The bride is the daugh-
er of a respectable family of this
? ity , and great preparations were
made by her friends for the wedding occa
sion. Robinson was expected to bo on hand
it the appointed time , but ho failed to show
up and the wedding guests had to shoulder
their disappointment and go home. His
whereabouts wcro unknown for some time
lifter his disappearance , but were finally
learned by the use of a decoy registered
letter , which was sent to the home of some
of his friends in Omaha. Upon the return of
the receipt it was found that ho had gene to
Sioux City , where the bride prospective and
"icr attorney went.

John Casey of Boomer township was given
an examination yesterday by the commis
sioners of insanity and found to bo insane.
His family had recently moved to Missouri
Valley , and when ho was arrested the ques
tion arose which of the two counties were
obliged to care for him. An investigation
shows ho was not In Missouri Valley and
had not acquired a residence there , so that
Pottawnttninio county will have to bear the
expense of his removal.
r Casey , according to the testimony of his
father and brother who wcro in the city yes
terday , is far from being the kind of a man
ono would want to meet alone when under
the influence of ono of his "fits. " On ordi
nary occasions ho is ono of the most peace
able of men , but without the slightest ap
parent cause ho flics into an insane rage , and
then no ono is safe in his vicinity. Ho is a
blacksmith by trade , and is consequently
able to do all ho threatens. Ho made some
of the most blood thirsty threats against his
father and brother yesterday afternoon when
they attempted to visit him in his cell in the
county Jail. Ho will bo taken to Clarinda
tomorrow for treatment.

MADAGASCAR'S CAPITAL.

Any ono who hna rend of Madagas
car's progress has hoard of tho/ltav.
Jnnics Stbrco , who for thirty years hns
been Identified with missionary work
thcro. llo 1ms now returned to Eng
land from Antananarivo , the capital ,
and has given to the Royal Geographi
cal society tin account of Madagascar
civilization. Ho describes the capital
of the IIovu kingdom , n town which
thirty years ago contained only huts of
straw nnd mud , and the placow ) 0
hundreds Ch'-'sJ ' ; ; ; , were killed dur-
. . "F " ' 3 "cuthen persecutions. Today
ho capital is far advanced in civlliza-
ion and contains hundreds of line stone
uulbiiuk buildings.
Antananarivo stands upon a long hill
500 foot above the valleys that surround
t. It was the old custom in Madagai-
: nr 10 build all towns upon eminences ,
n order that they might ba moro easily
iofondcd. The hill is covered with
louses from summit to base and
lundrcds of structuios are parched upon
ts sides on terraces cut into the rock.
On ono side of the hill is the prcciplco
vhcro in 1849 hundreds of Malagasy
Christians were hurled to death because
hey refused to disavow their belief in
Jhristianlty. Llond making is very
lilhcult bccauso the bare rock almost
everywhere comes to the surface.
A silly law was once in forco. No
mllding of stono'or clay wns permitted
vithin the limits of the town. The
louses of the nobles and wealthy people
voro of maseivo timber , reefed with
voodou shingles or thatch. Fires , there-
ore , were of i frequent occurrence.
When the queen and her government
accepted Christianity in 1868 this
oolisti law wns repealed , and the
old timber houses have now almost
wholly given place to structures
of brick or stonp. The building art was
revolutionized when Mr. Sibreo and
ther missionaries erected in stone the
martyr memorial churches. The city
now contains several thousands of good
two and threo-story houses and many
rmbhc buildings. The residences of
iorae of the wealthier people have spa
cious verandas with pillars of moulded
erick or of stone with carved capitals.
Not n few buildings are still unfinished ,
Hid an aspect of neatness and tidiness
is lacking. Still , when the visitor remembers -
members that the present town has been
evolved from n heathen settlement of
straw and wattle ho wonders that the
Bovn people have made such progress.
Among the prominent buildings are
"oyal piluces , ' .ho largest of which , a
; hreo-Btory brick timber structure , is
surrounded with n great stone veranda
and arches strengthened with corner
towers. Then there in the Immense
stone and brick enlace of the prime min
ister , who is alsollio _ queen's husband ,
ind handsome residences of nobles and
high olllcors. The high court of justice
is quito imposing with its Ionic columns ,
and has the appearance of a Crook tem
ple. The spires or towers of the rolic-
ious and educational buildings are seen
From a long distance and add much to
the beauty of tlio city.
Thus the capital of the Malagasy has
become n respectable city. The missionaries
'
sionaries there nnd in other' towns oftho
Hova nation are teaching 100,000 child
ren in their schools , and it is these mis
sionaries who have wrought the wonder
ful change in Madagascar. They have
lifted a once ignorant and bomi-barbar-
ous people to tlio position of an enlight
ened and Christian nation. Nowhere in
the world has the good of missionary
work been , moro strikingly manifested
than in Madagascar.
The government has never taken a
census , but Mr. Sibrco and his friends
have counted the buildings in the city
and made inquiry as , to the nvorngo
nunihor of occupants. They think the
city contains about 100,000 Inhabitants.
There are often many strangers in the
capital , as people come from all parts of
Uio island on government busi
ness , bringing tribute to the queen
nnd receiving orders from her. The
nn mo Antananaiivo means ' * nt the
town of a thousand. " The city is the
heart of Madagascar , Olllcors and
soldiers nro son from it to garrison all
the ports on tho. coast and important
towns in the 'interior. Every week
thousands of books and periodicals are
dlbtributcd from/Antananarivo M over
the countiy. iXuro native doctors , sur
geons , nurses , schoolmasters and evan
gelists are laugh\ and then bent away to
other parts of the kingtfbm to carry on
the good works' ' tlio white man has
brought into tlio 'great island ,
