Haddock came to a audden close at 9 o'clock this evening. At 6 o'clock too case was finally submitted to the jury, whole day having been occupied by M. D. O'Connell of Fort Dodge, who r, ltheflnal argument for the state. He mid: It waa the doty of every man to obey the law. A jury has no right to deal ont wisdom to the lawmakers. He referred to Brwin as the great classic pine tree of the •nrth. He denounced Attorney Tread ^Jnl as the leading spirit in the conspiracy which killed Haddock. Tread well made a speech at the saloonkeepers' meeting ot an incendiary nature. Arensdorf was the leader o! the saloon men. They obeyed him because the others Tacked courage to carry out their plans. He did not. Arens* -dor! fired the shot which killed Haddock while the.rest of the crowd halted. At a few minutes before 9 o'clock the jury came in and announced a verdict oi not guilty. The court had been summoned 'it few minutes before, and the defendant and his attorneys and the attor neys for the state were present. He court room was about halt filled with a'crowd, which bad swittiy gathered ss the news ol the agreement of the jury spread. There was a slight .demonstration in the conrt room, but four or five of the Spectators refused to join in it. Assoon as (hs verdict was announced Arensdorl's oounsel moved for his discharge and the notion -was glinted. The defendant's counsel grasps his hand, but he hurried •way to thank the members of the jury, who had. been dismissed by the court. It to safe to say that this verdict finally and torsver disposes of the Haddock murder «a»e, and that the man who actually fired tbsshot will never be punished.

The following circular was sent to the general freight agents of the railroads cen tering in St. Paul by the secretary of the state railroad commission: Referring toy ours of Nov. 18, concerning the probability s. of a change in the present classification of "small parcels" by the joint co-operation of all the railway companies doing busi ness in the state, we have to say that it would give the commission a great pleas ure if what is to them a very troublesome subject should be disposed of in that man ner. But feeling that a result (if ever'ob tained) depending upon the co-operation of so many companies will consume a great deal ot time, and being thor oughly convinced that the present system is unjust and burdensome to many small shippers we teel it our duty to say to all the roads interested that it is our purpose to recast the schedules of the va- "uu vneney. mscocK takes At Eau Claire, Wis., John McCaho, aged fourteen, shot himself in the mouth with revolver while playing robber.

In view ot this state ot affairs It is impossible to do just what the peopls ot ioth sections taken separately appear to wish. As the people of the whole territory ippear to desire division, and as ths North certainly entitled to adniiesion as a 'f'fo and there can be no question about their desire tor statehood, it becomes my luty to do whatover is in my power to se cure an enabling act tor North as well as South Dakota.

The claims ol both Dakotas lor statehood are perlcctly just and complete in every particular. No one can or will question them who under stands the facts. Then why not present ou|fw$ole cue for the admission of both sections as two states to congress and if met with refusal then appeal to the American people in 1888 and rely upon thoir sense of justice to grant our just right by the elec tion of an administration' nnd a majority in both houses ol congress who are not op posed to helping territories of the Union in their efforts for admission?

The Important Supreme Court Deol» ion. Last winter an act passed the legisla- oint. Injunction proceeding? were begun Joseph Coates against the village'coun cil to restrain that body from taxing the people with these bonds, on the ground that the dam they were to pay for was a Rc rivate one and wouM not result in a pub benefit. Tbe.court sustains his position and crit icises the legislation that put the law on the books. The bill in question is one to enable the village to issue these bonds to build the dam, and states that the piers for the dam shall also be used as the sub structure for a bridge also to give the vil lage authority to secure water from the river for the fire department. Ths court finds that the improvement is destined to benefit a private concern, the water power is not public, nor the property ot the village, but is wholly ander private control. The provision tor the firs department is not a necessary one becauss it the village had a department it would have the right to use water under the village control,sstbe main part ot the bill indicates to be the last with ths water in question.

"I have seen the enepay," 'was At bany Elliott's reply, "and he is not ours, in fact, he sdys I shall never have you, Freya, so long as I live." "I am sure you didn't meet papa in the right way. He is Interested in nothing but antiquities and I am quite Bure would dispose of my hand to any one who would give in exchange a rare coin or a Soman inscription," said the girl, laughing lightly. "If you want to please him. turn collector and dis cover something." "I'll do it," said Albany enthusias* tically, "and it won't be my fault if I don't discover a whole museum of curiosities." And then something happened that most lovers are famil iar with, and the young man went on his way rejoicing. A few days afterward Albany present ed himself again at theDel ver house and informed the doctor that he had made a wonderful discovery in the Chaynes field near by of a Soman tablet. It did not take Dr. Delver very long to follow the young man to the place where, sure enough, iu a deep hole lay a stone with "S. E. P. S. E. V." in scribed upon it. Great was the good man's delight, and he exclaimed: "Mr. Elliott, Idon't know how I can thauk you, how lean repay you for having given me this moment of ecstacy." "You can easily repay me, sir," said Albany. "How? When? Where?" said the almost bewildered antiquarian. "Allow me to make your daughter, Freya, my wile," answered the young man. "What? Erm—ahem! What? iJ'reya? Erm! An artist stammer ed the doctor. "Well, well. I'll con sider it. I didn't—ahem!—I didn't like that idea but—ahem! One cannot be too careful these days. Ahem! Well, good morning, Mr. Elliott." And the old man shuttled off. cud kling the tile and stone. "So far,so cood," muttered Albany, "but by Jove if he should twig the trick! I copied the thing right enough from the book, but these old potter ers are so awfully cute." "A'm just sorry ye've let the old gafferin Agoin,' Mr. Elliott," said Mrs. Chayne, on his arrival at the farm. "Why," asked Albany. "Because he's a terrible loon for mes sin' and mockin' about," replied Mrs. Chayne. "He comes in here with his dirty boots and his Roman rubbish and it alius takes me and Meggy Kooi hour to clean up after him. Then he never so much as asks leave to dig and turn up the grass land,and never a 'Thank ye, Mrs. Chayne,' or 'By your leave, Mrs. Chayne,' not he. He's a cool loon, is the gaffer, an' there's nae doot o' that." "Well, but Mi's. Chayne," said Al bany, "I'm Bure you won't mind when I tell you why I've done it." Mrs. Chayne liked Elliott immensely, as did all the people in tho neighbor hood, from the parson down to John nie Armstrong, the cobbler, the gener al gossip monger and she treated him rather as a personal friend than a guest so when Albany told her the secret she laughed' heartily and said: "Ah! Miss Freya! She's a canny las sie, that she be. And we a' call it a shaame that she's shut up with the old gaffer from Martinmas without never a chance o' meetin' some bonny lad as would make her his wife. But I tell ye, Mr. Elliott,the gaffer's a deep one, he is, an' I teinken ye must have does your work uncommonly well to deceive him. Old Dick Ridley of Alston ouce played him the like trick, that was many years syne but nobody since has. But we will win Miss Freya for ye, Mr. Elliott.that we will." Mrs. Chayne's prediction came true. Albany called at Hawksdyke a day or two after and found the doctor raging and raving like a madman. When the old gentleman saw Albany he rushed toward him, with his hand stretched out and an expression of almost pathetic agony on nis face. "Mr. Elliott," hs cried, "I've been deceived—cobbed. 8ome villain's been imposing on me by trying to pass off all this wofthlessrabbiahas fmufiie Rjttnan ntlics. Min&I don't say it's Jle on, fori don't bsl&ive your*re ciapa of saoh a crime--'-and a crimer it is, just as It is for monks to plan off rel ics of saints on simple folks." "I very sorryv sir," said Albany, but—but I presume that my reward holds good?" "Reward!" almost yelled the anti quary, "reward for what? Reward for having caused^ me the bitterest moment of my existence? No, sir I said I would take time to consider the matter, and I have considered it." "But, sir, Freya—that is, Miss Del ver—is engaged to me," said Albany, desperately. "My daughter, sir," said the old gentleman in a dignified manner, "has nn riaht fn iiap0ae 0f my consent The next morning Albany was sur prised to see Freya standing on the foot of the bridge as if waiting for him. When she saw him she hurried toward him and said:— "Oh, Albany! my father is in such a state. I've iever seen him so miser able in all my life. He's had a letter from Mrs. Chayne, saying that as all the Roman relics he has that he values have been found upon her property, she'll trouble him to give them up. She will take no payment—nothing but the relics, and she says that un less he does so she will put her case in to the hands of the law. And he's asked me to find you, so come along." Dollyhood Fair. Albany Elliott took off his bonnet and hurled it into the air with a wild hurrah. "She's a brick, that Mrs. Chayne," said he when his enthusiam had sub sided. "She knows that the doctor would rather part with you than with his relics, and that's why she's done this." The doctor met them at the door. "Oh, Mr. Elliott," he baid "pain and misery stare me in the face. That fiend of a Mrs. Chayne wants me to give up my darling household goods, and the worst of it is that she has the law on her side, and I must give them up unless "Well, doctor," said Albany, she's a terrible woman, I know, for sticking in her word. If she says a thing she means it and I know she contrail™ RreatmMfift tradition* comes from herself without lies Delver is under age, Albany rushed from the house, a Sinner icture of angry despair. He ate no that day and, contrary to his usual active habits, sat in the farm house all the afternoon, pulling sav agely at his pipe and glaring into the fire. Mrs. Cnayne, of course, noticed the change' in the young man's de meanor, and said:— "Cheer up, Master Elliott a' knew a' that's took place. The rubbish has been found out, and the old gaffer he's said nae aboout Miss Freya. Didna a' tell ye that a' would win her for ve?" "Yes, of course you did but how the— how can you?" angrily replied Albany. "Bide a wee. Gang out an' dinna put yourself aboot, we'll hear some thine by the morning," said the worthy woman. "When Phillis Chayne Bays she'll do a thing she'll do it." wantB to get your relics. But if you'll allow me I'll offer my mediation and although I am not sanguine of success, you may be sure that I'll do my best." "Will you? will you?" cried the old man, in ecstasy. "You'll be my great est benefactor if you succeed, for part ing with all these results of long years of labor and research would be like parting with m„v very eyesight." "You are willing to pay a high price, doctor?" said the young man. "Yes, yes anything up to £500," re plied the antiquary. "I don't mean a filthy lucre," said Albany. "If I succeed in getting Mrs. Chayne to relent will you give me your Freya?" "Yes, I will that I will said the old gentleman. "But be quick don't lose any time. Every moment till you come back will be a year to me." Albany made a show of rushing off and returned late that evening with the news that Mrs. Shayne had relent ed. The old doctor almost went mad with joy, Kissed his darling relics, kiss ed Freya and even embraced Albany. In a few weeks' tim Freya Delver be came Mrs. Albany Elliott, and it may be taken for granted that the worthy Mrs. Chayne did not lack recompense for the part she had played in giving practical exemplification of the time worn dictum that "All's fair in love." The doctor was never quite so neigh borly to Mrs. Chayne afterward as he had been, and privately expressed his opinion that the whole affair had been a plot, to which she had been a party, but as Albany Elliott made himself an excellent son-in-law in every sense of ths phrase, and as Freya expressed hertelfperfectly happy and contented, he never gave audible vent to his no tions. t.

A Midnight Funeral at8ea.^ Traveler's Letter to the Baltimore Sun. One of the steerage passengers died a few days after we left New York, and we expected to witness a sea fun eral, but the matter was kept as quite as possible and ns one seemed disposed to talk about it. The Cap* tain said it would have a depressing effect on the passengers to see tho man buried, so he would not the tinie when the funeral would take place. About ten o'clock the next night one of the passengers was walk* ing aft and saw some ot the sailors placing the body in a plain wooden box, and rushed forward with the intelligence. Going to the stern, we saw them nailing on the lid, but they concluded not to put him over board until we were all asleep so we had to repress our curiosity for the time being. At midnight, however, the steamer stopped for a few min utes, and those passengers who were not asleep inquired the cause. No reason was given, but those who were on the after-deck enjoying the moon light on the sea, saw some sturdy sailors attach a hawser to the box and heave it overboard. There was a splash, then a bell was rung, the en gine started, and the emigrants funer al was over. The poor fellow was sick when he came on board from a wound he had received in some way, and lockjaw developed itself. No one knew his name or anything about him. Cirard and the Cask of Nails, A man who had jnst set up in the hardware business, and who had been a clerk where the eccentric millionaire Stephen Girard had been in the habit of trading, applied to him for a share of his patronage. Girard bought of him, but when the bill was sent in he found fault and marked down the prices. "Cask of nails," he growled, which I was offered for so and so. You have charged so and so, and yon must take it off." "I cannot do it," said the young merchant.. "But yon must do it," roared Girard. "Ican not and will not," was the final reply. Girard bolted out, apparently in rage, but soon after sent a check for the whole bill. The young man began to relent and say to himself: "Perhaps he was offered them at that price, but it is all over now. I am sorry I did not reduce the bill and get it out of him on something ebe. His trade would have been worth a great deal to me." By and by Girard came again and save him another order* The young man was very courteous, ami Baid he was almost sorry he did with yon again.
