Union carpenters still persist in theit attacks upon non-union inen who work ten hours a day. Last Wednesday about twenty union men rushed into a new building at the corner of Campbell and Oakley avenues, nnd assaulted the aston¬ ished workmen with saws, hatchets and other tools. Four men were severely cut. Tin; foreman was in the second story at the time. Hearing the row, he rushed (o the stairway anti fired a shot at one oi the intimidators. It caused a panic among them and they fled. The foreman fired several shots at the crowd and they left. The patrol wagon arrived too late to capture any of the assailants. ANOTHER BANK FAILURE. Departure of Its President to Canada witb the Funds. Dundy County bank, of Benkleman, Neb., failed Wednesday. Mr. Belzer, president, skipped to Canada and took with him about $100,000 in funds and se¬ curities. Business men and farmers fee! the loss greatly, as many have lost the last dollar they had on earth. Several homesteaders had their little all in the bank and were to prove up to-day. Many will have to abandon their claims. The greatest excitement prevails. Belzci had transferred Ids available property to his wife before leaving. Many eastern banks , m(l firm8 ]ose heavily. McCarther & Bel- The bank firm was zer. The firm was quoted in Bradstreet’s at from *35,000 to *40,00(1, and their credit was very good. Bemkleman is a town of about 300 people. It is claimed that Belzer took with h im $100,000 in funds and securities. It is quite likely that a large portion of this amount was entrusted to him by eastern individual parties losers to loan out. Details as to an( j accounts have not yet been received here. The bank only claimed a capital f « 10 O oo and it is not believed by Q mah a bankers that Belzer could have taken *100,000 unless he had some east- em money loaner’s funds. - 1 __„ n amii»rr - - passed , the .

Ariadne looked sad. “The music of the future is the music of the past for me,” said she. Another arrival. There seemed to be an erratic epidemic , in progress, This* time it was a talented young dramatist. * 1 With him Ariadne had attended many a “first night,” m an and /i acquired a vast knowl- e< jg ° e 0 f things w theatrical. His declera- -------- tion was adapted bodily from the last i aris • success, and ana did uiu credit crean airae alike to to his ms feelings and his memory, Ariadne repeated her former speech, as an aunt. But he refused. “1 have adapted al¬ most everything,” said he; ‘‘but lean not adapt myself to such a situation as i this.” - He immediately folded his tent, like tae , Arab-, , , an __j quietly adapted aw r ay. Thcre was no more theater for Ariadne. . Next came her artistic adorer, who • had painted a large number of plaques and screens for her, as a slight testimoni¬ al of his love. He had also executed a VOL. 1, NO. 43. magnificent painting on the hall floor, choosing this singular place because all l.li other pictures had been “skied” to such au extent that it was a real pleasure to have one, at least, as far away from the ceil¬ ing as possible. He didn’t by any means take kindly to Ariadne’s proposition that he should consider her his niece. Then her saltatory slave, the best walt- zer she knew, put in an appearance, and wouldn’t listen to her offer of a second- oousinship; nor did her muscular mash, who could run a mile in five minutes, and had the largest biceps ever seen off a gorilla, with whom she attended all sorts of athletic games, wish her to be his third-cousin, which was ail she had to to give, her stock of relationship being closed out. When she was finally left alone, sho reflected bitterly that every source of amusement and all her best escorts were lost to her because she had been too fas¬ The question now arose in her mina whether she was fascinating enough— enough to obtain the long-desired yet never obtained affections of Adcides Mon- roe. He was sure of a favorable answer if he proposed, since, as she thought, there was nothing she could be to him except his wife without infringing on the patent of one of his predecessors. At this moment he entered, amply pro¬ vided with manly beanty, immense wealth, splendid talents, and everything else necessary for the equipment of a first- class, super-extra hero. He made his appearance in great agita¬ tion and a new suit, In fact, he was so very much agitated that he had forgot¬ ten to remove the price-mark from his collar—but, as the figures were tolerably high one 3 for a ready-made article, it didn’t make so much difference. “Ariadne, said he, “this is the most momentous day of my life.” “And of mine,” she whispered. “Ariadne,” he continued, “I smda*. zlingly happy.” “Me, too!" cooed she. “Ariadne, I a in about to—” “I know it.” “You have always been—•” “I have!” “And aiways will—” “Can you ask?” “Be ray friend?” “What?” “Yes, my friend. It is to you that I first communicate my felicity.

A proclamation was lately issued by the Ameer of Afghanistan which brings forward one of the most curious riddles in history; the disappearance of the ten lost tribes of Israel. Ethnologists and antiquarians have followed every trace of these vanished nations with the ardor of sleuth-hounds on a trail. There is hardly a race in Asia, Europe or America that has not at some time been proved to be descended from the lost Israelites. Chief among these are the Chinese, the Mongol Tartars, the Japanese, the Cossacks, the Gypsies, and the American Indians. Even the Saxons, through whom bluff John Bull and Puri¬ tan New England got into the world, have had, and still have, their supporters as to this mysterious claim. A library of learned tomes has been written on thir single question. The Afghans in feature strongly re¬ semble the Hebrews, but they hold them¬ selves aloof from the modem Jews, of whom there are large numbers in the kingdom. The Afghans call themselves Beni Melik Talut, or Sons of Saul, and the legend of their origin is that when David took possession of the throne of Saul, that King’s grandson Afghan, a giant in size and strength, established himself in the mountains of Persia, and afterwards in the country now known as Afghanistan. sir.William Jones, the great antiqua¬ rian, examined the proofs of this story and gave it credence. The Ameer’s recent claim is of interest to the Hebrews and others who attempt to interpret the ancient prophecies, as many of them hold the belief that the Hebrew race will all be gathered again into the Holy Land, and that immedi¬ ately before this restoration the tec lost tribes will be discovered somewhere in the neighborhood of Afghanistan. It is, in any case, a curious question, involving the descent of a race through the most mysterious regions of history. — Youth't Companion. A Good Position. “What pay do you get?” asked a man who had just arrived in a western Dako¬ ta town, of the marshal. “Twenty-five dollars a month." “Isn’t that pretty small wages?” “Oh, yes, it would be if I had to work all the time. You see, whenever the cowboys come in and got drunk and ;..e air begins to get sort of thick and sultry like with bullets I go home and crawl into the cellar. They are here pretty frequent so I have an easy time of it.” — Eztelline {Dak.') Bell.
