DI2S MOINI2S , April 22. - ( Spe-
clal Telegram. ) There will bo
sonio new developments In the strike
munition before the men all gx > to
work Monday If .present
prospects aio ful
filled. Thu four mines which have so far
refused to meet the demamla of the miners
arc holding firm nnd say they will not
try to operate their mines under such
terms ns the miners demand. The minors ,
too , nro firm , nnd say they will not go to
work unless the operators como to their
terms. Both Rides claim to have won n
\lctory and both claim complete control
of the situation. At the Christy mine a
lew men nro nt work , but an effort , It Is
claimed , Is being made to have them como
out until the Christy people agree to the
eight-hour day and 85-cent scale. At the
Caihondnlo mine the strike Is In full force
ns far ms the operators are concerned , nnd
they say they will stand out nil summer
rather than accede to the demands. Three
hundred men are out in this ono mine.
They have given the union miners an ul
timatum In which they give warning that
if they don't resume work by Monday nt the
old schedule they will operate their mine
with nonunion men. Whether this means
they will Import men they did not say , but
by the miners It Is considered us a seilous
statement nnd they soy that they don't be
lieve there are nny of the operators who
will attempt to bilng In outsldo miners.
AV'hat their course would bo in case they
did they nlso refuse to talk about , but U
Is thought In many circles It would mean
trouble.
George LaSell , an I2nst DCS Molnos man ,
traded his wife for a horse , Ho let a ti aval-
Ing hoise trader have her without "boot. "
It seems that the men had been drinking
and after agreement the tiader left the lty
and the cast Bide cltl/cn took his horse
home. His mother-in-law wanted to know
whcro his wlfo was , but the husband did not
Itnow. He said the last ho had seen of her
iv HB In .1 wagon with another fellow driving
toward Chesterfield. The wlfo Is only 20
years old , so her mother told Policeman
( ilbson , nml the old woman Insisted that
there was some skulduggery when the trade
was made , because the girl would not enter
Into any such contract.

The McFailand case , as far ns the state
Is concerned , will reaeh a conclusion In
Us direct testimony Monday afternoon.
Then will como the witnesses for the de
fense and It is declared there will be con-
sldoiablo testimony Introduced which will
have an Interesting llavor nt least. Ttiu
nature of the evidence that remains to bo
Introduced by the atate will chiefly be ex
pert to prove the value of clerical labo ? ,
fciich us wafl performed upon the census ,
nnd to show , if possible , that the clerks
were paid salaries In excess of what would
have been adequate payment foi the work
This Is the chief evldeneo that It Is nec
essary for the state to substantiate. H has
lieen shown tlmt McFarland took money
from the clerks Judge Holmes has ruled
that Mr. McFarland was In charge of the
tnKlng of the census and not the executive
c"uncll and It now remains to bo proveii
by' the state that ho paid the clerks ex
cessive salaries and at the same time to
show that ho did so with corrupt Intention
of having a portion of the money covert
to himself.
B. A. Lantz , on Italian , who Is totally nnd
hopelessly Wind , today brought suit against
the LeGrand Stone Quarry company of Mar-
Bhalltovvn asking ? 2ri,000 damages While
employed by the company in November of
1897 ho was blinded by a premature blast
and has not had his sight since. It Is u most
pitiful case.
On Monday or Tuesday the crusade
against the saloons In this city will com
mence. Superintendent Abrnms this mornIng -
Ing made this declaration. He fcays he has
given the saloons ample time to gather a
petition within the bounds of the law , that
they have failed to do so and now ho fee'fc
lie should commence his action. When the
matter was llrsl broached the superin
tendent announced that after April 15 ho
would commence action against the saloons
unices they filed with the board of supervisors
a petition In accordance with the revised
code. Ho contends that they havei not acted
and that as the matter now stands he must
proceed and close them.
Judge S. F. I'routy rendered n decision
today In the district court In the paving
case of A. H. Ustey against T. II. Hubbnrd ,
Involving the question of the constitution
nllty of the Iowa paving laws. Judge Prouty
takes a position decidedly In favor of the
legality of the law. The -case In question was
not Important in Itself , Involving merely
the paving of an alley In North Dos Molnes.
In the tilal of the case , however , the consti
tutionality of the law was attacked on the
theory that assessments must be made not
In an arbitrary manner but according to
the proportion of benefit derived by the ad
joining propel ty.

heir 'bivouac outside Memphis the men for
in entire day had looked longingly upon the
city and planned mnneioi'a diversions
.herein , none of which , however , was al-
owed to occur. No leave was granted , and
t was not until twilight tint orders were
received to march directly through the town
o the levee , where the transport was in
tailing.
The route lay through "Llttlo Ireland , " the
confederate stronghold in .Memphis , where
roops had been frequently stoned In passing
and where no welcome could be looked for
t was a gloomy , narrow- way that led
hrough it. The night was pitch dark , and
ho street'wns imperfectly lighted by oc
casional gas lamps. From house to gutter
he sidewalks were packed with people , men ,
women nnd children whoso faces weio
larker than the night , and whose attitude
hands behind them fcuggcstcd that ever-
ready brick. Dislike , contempt , hatred was
n every face. Sullen ellenco was the only-
greeting.
Then the transformation. At a Mgnal the
flags were mvung flee , and at the same
moment the band struck up "Oarry Owen. "
< \ gasp , a cheer , a lear followed , and a
noment later the mob A\as a shouting , wel
coming throng , borne embracing the soldiers
n the ranks , some standing with baled
leads and streaming eyes as the green flag
A as marched past , others calling down bles
sings on their countrymen. Then there was
a wild rush iback to their tenements , and
then , laden with food and liquid cheer , the
population of Little Iieland followed the
regiment to the levee , svvopt over the lines
that ought to have been established around
t , and succeeded In convincing Its membeis
that "blood Is thicker thnn water. "
But water was a drink In demand the next
morning !

Many of the phrases ono uses or hears
every day , relates the Chicago Tribune ,
have been handed down to us from generation -
oration to generation for hundreds of years
and In many cases they can bo traced back
to a quaint and curious origin. Ono of the
oldest of those familiar expressions Is to
"cut a dido , " which Is said of a person
when ho plays a sharp trick , and carries
us back to SOO years B. C. , when Dido ,
queen of Tyre , after the murder of her hus
band by her brother , fled to the northern
coast of Africa and founded a city. She
bargained for ns much land as could bo
surrounded by a bull's hide , and In order to
claim ns largo a tract as possible she had
the hide cut Into narrowBtilps , and on the
land thus surrounded she built n citadel.
The natives , seeing that they had been
quietly outwitted by a woman , submitted
ginccfuly to this "cutting of a Dido , "
"There's many n slip 'tvvlxt the cup and
the lip" Is nearly ns old , and Is attributed
to Aneaous , king of the island of Samoa ,
in the Grecian archipelago. This king , no
runs the story , had planted a vineyard , but
ho had treated the slaves so badly that ono
of them predicted that his master would
never live to even taste of Its wine. When
the vintage came , however , the king called
for a cup of wlno and asked the blavo what
ho thought of his prophecy. ' 'I think there's
many a slip between the cup and the lip , "
ho solemnly answered , Just at that In
stant a messenger In hot linsto rushed Into
the palace , Informing the Mug that a wild
boar had broken Into the vineyard and
was destroying It. Ancaeus put down his
wlno cup untast-id and hurried out to at
tack the rnvngor , but In the chase was
killed.
"Ho's a brick , " meaning n bravo and
noble fellow- , doubtless originated with
Agesllaus , king of Sp.irta , about 2SO n. C.
A visitor at the Lacedaemonian capital was
surprised to find It without walls or other
visible means of defense , nnd asked his
royal host what they would do In case of
Invasion by a foreign power.
"Do ! " the heroic ' '
replied king ; 'why
Sparta has f > 0,000 soldiers and each man Is
n brick. "
"Done to a turn , " suggests the htory of
St. Lawrence , who suffered martyrdom by
being roasted on a gridiron. During his
torture he calmly requested the attendants
to turn him over , as ho was thoioughly
roasted on one side. Ilcnco the phrase ,
"Done to a turn "
In oim of the battles between the IluuBlnna
and the Tartars , 400 yearn ago , a private
soldier of the former cried out"Captain ,
I ve caught a Tartar" 'Bring him along ,
then " answered the oflkcr "I can t for ho
wont let me , " was the response , tpon in
vestigation it was apparent that the captured
had the captor by the arm and would no\
release him. So "catching n Tartai" is ap
plicable to one who has found an antagonist
too strong for him.
The familiar expression , "robbing Peter
to pay Paul , " Is i onnettcd with the history
of Westminster Abbey. In the early middle
ages It was the cubtom to call the abbey St.
Peter's cathedral. At one time the funds >
of St. Paul's cathcdial being low , these in
authority took sulllclcnt from St. Peter's to
settle the accounts , much to the dissatisfac
tion of the people , who asked , "Why rob
St. Peter to pay St. Paul' " Some 200 years
later the saying was again u&cd , In regard
to the same collegiate churches , at the time
of the death of the earl of Chatham , the
city of London dcclaiing that the famous
statesman ought to lie in St. Paul's. Parlia-
'ment , however , inblbted that Westminster
Abbey was the proper place nnd not to buiy
him there would be , for the second time
"robbing St Peter to pay St. Paul. " The
abbey properly carried the day.
"Dying In the last ditch. " was , according
to Hume , first used by William of Orange
When Holland was so hotly presbod by her
enemies that complete disaster seemed Im
minent , the duke of Buckingham Implored
, the prince to change his tactics or the coun
try would bo ruined. "There is one way
to prevent my seeing the ruin of my coun
try , " answered the prince , "I will die In
the last ditch. "
"Ho has an ate grind " Early In the
century the story was told of a lad who
was induced by a promised reward to turn
the grindstone for ono who wished to
sharpen his ax. The promised payment
was not made Slnco then , ono who dis
guises his selfish alms by false promises Is
said to have an ax to grind.
" 0. K. " has many alleged origins. Thfi
most probable Is the followingIn 18-10 ,
when Ah ah Adams organized the Adams
Express company , a young country lad ap
plied for work. Ho was employed to do
all sorts of odd jobs and make himself gen-
1 orally useful In the office. The boy had an
observant eye , nnd saw that the shipping
I clerk placed upon the manager's desk each
night a list of the packages marked "all
( correct" The clerk being absent ono day ,
i the boy was asked to wrlto the list , 01 ,
rather , to check It. When ho placed it on
the desk It bnro on the outside the letters
i " 0. K " Asked what they meant the youth
replied : " 'O. K. ' means 'all correct. ' "
Mr. Adams enjoyed a hearty laugh and
adopted the striking abbrovlotion thereafter.
"Cut and run" originated In a peculiar
custom of the Egyptian embalmers. A low-
caste was employed to make the first In
cision in the corpse , a process viewed witli
muc.li dislike by the people , who held him
nccurfced wno shold mutilate the dead. As
soon ns the fellow had made his "cut" bo
had to run , through a stoim of curses ,
stones and sticks. Ho "cut" for a living
and had to "inn" to save his life.
| The true oilgln of the expression "to dun
n man" Is curious , In the reign of Henry
VII n bailiff of Lincoln named Joe Dun was
I so uctlvo and clover In collecting debts that
it became n proverb , when a peison tiled
to avoid payment , "Why don't you dun
him ? "
"llobson's choice" Is derived from ono
' Hobson , who used to let out horses for hire
and who obliged every person who wanted
one to tnko that next the stable door , being
the one that had taken the most rest.
"Orog , " n sea term for lum and water ,
originated from Admiral Vernon , who first
Introduced U on boaid ship. Ho was culled
I by the tailors "Old Orog" from his wearing
la grogram coat In bad weather.
' "Topsy turvey " When things are In con
fusion they are said to bo topsy turvoy , an
expression derived from the way In which
turf for fuel Is placed to dry on Its being
cut. The surface of the ground Is pared off
with the heath growing upon It ami the
heath is turned downward and left aoinc
days In that state that the earth may get
dry before It ia carried away. It means ,
therefore , really , "top-side turf-way. "
j "Tawdry" U a corruption of St. Audrey
'
'and originated In these times when they
trliUcU out and bedecked allure and tilnlnes
of the saints with finery. The votaries of
St. Audrey exceeding all the rest In the
dross and equipment of her altar , it grow
1 Intp a bywoid upon anything that was
1 gaudy that It was all tawdry 1. c , all St.

Sudden fame and fortune make no differ
ence to Chicago's new-fnlmd heiress. Miss
Adelaide \on Kettler. She declines to drop
l.er work and plunge into the diversions
which are genciolly supposed to bo at the
omirand of the latter day iiUress. Not at
all Miss von Kettler manipulated her pen
with her ncuistomed dexterity at her desk
in the ofili.es of the Noithern Assurnnco
company , In the Monudnock block.
"Aren't reporters tiresome , " she said ,
oichly , to the Tlmes-Heiald Adonis , < \i-
dently the last of seventeen bc-lbea who 1ml
been bothcilng her during th-j day.
"Some , " was the sugg'btlvanswer. .
"They'll tell such HcS , " she said , with
childish blunt ness.
"Some dn , " was the answer.
"They have been at mo nil day , nnd cic'i '

told him all about jny foituuc"
"And you told them all ovoiythlng ? "
"Well , they promised t > o quickly nnd
seemed to sympathetic that I thought they
meant It , " this with an Inquiring look at
the caller.
"But they went light back and wioto auoh

"It was probably a typogiaphlcal cnor

"But It was all t.o absurd , " she murmured.
"And then these pictures they printed of
mo today. Weren't they er.'uy looking
things ? I think It really unkind to muko
mo look that way. "
"Wo make good pictures ourbolves , " said
the reporter.
Progiess was rather easy after this point
had been i cached. The young woman
talked pleasantly enough , hut was devoted
to the Idea of wringing n promise from her
caller to restrain his pen ; to lemaln away
from his ofil o and net report at all on the

A veteran of the war of the rebellion was
telling some of his experiences to u civilian ,
and ho was dwelling upon the terrific cour
age of the captain of his company , and also
his profanity. In these d-iys , relates the
Washington Slur , profane olllceia were much
moro common than they now are , nnd they
weio especially noticeable among the vol
unteer troops. The captain referred to was
notorious in two armies for his command
of profane language , and ho never entirely
rocovoicd fiom It , though his admission tc
the regular army at the close of the war
moderated his manner somewhat
"It meant death to every min of us , " said
the veteran , speaking of u proposed < barge
I on a line of bicnstwoiks heroic Kb hmoiid ,
| ' "if wo went In there , and wo knew it , but
I there wasn't anything else to do , unless we
got dlflerent ordoiH. There had been a mis
toke In ordering us to take the works until
some reinforcements had como up , but
that wasn't any of our business. "
"Well , now , " demurred the civilian "I
don't lode at It that way. It ought to have
been your business , not to have fought
when yon know you woio going to bo
whipped "
"If wo had put up nny bert of a bluff llko
I that , yon 'bet our captain would have got
one of his .swearing spoils on , and then the
dickens would have been to pay. Ho just
never would have got done cussing us for
being cow aids. "
"Do you mean to say your f-mipany
would have gone In and been klllid rather
than to stand the captain's swearing' "
i "That's what. "
I "Well , I wouldn't. "
"Oh , but you never hcaid the captain
