Klein has lost returned to Bar le Due, where his family reside. On Feb. 11,1887, he was arrested at Strasburg, where he was detained tm five months awaiting his trial. At theend of that time he was taken to Leipslc, where he was tried, fottnd jfuUty and sentenced to six years' hard labor. Soon afterward he was re- prison at Efelle-on-Saale. For foar years, according to his story, he w*tfli»t allowed to see or speak to any die, so that his reason seemed to be impaired, and he was removed first to a madhouse at Berlin, then to another at Stephansfeld. He was finally liberated on the 17th of Decembto1. At the prison of Halle, Klein occupied a cell about 12 cubio meters in size, with one small window in it, and his bed was a plank with a maiee straw mattress and one blanket. His foo4 consisted chiefly of barley, peas and |>ther grain, with soup made of meat tv^ce a week and of tallow the other five dkys. The allotted daily task for each prisoner was 12 paire of stockings, and the penalty for not completing them a beating with a cane. Klein earned 25 marks, or shillings, for Ids slk years' work.--London Letter. GILBERT ISLANDS' MONARCH. IlM Ctvillatag Influence* Developed fey His Visit to San Pranelaeo. "The island of Taputcouea," said Cap­ tain J. Duncan, until recently in com­ mand of the miariodwry steamer Morn­ ing Star, "has adopted a somewhat dif­ ferent code of etiquette since the return of the king of the Gilbert islands from his visit to San Francisco. His majesty no longer roams barefooted around the is­ lands in the native costume, but has de­ veloped a pronounced fancy for collect­ ing clothes and owns an extensive ward­ robe. Eastlake furniture is now in use at the royal palace, and his majesty will allow nothing but choice china and cost­ ly silverware on the table. When the king returned home from San Francisco, he took a horse and bug­ gy with him. There are no horses and no buggies on thaJsiands, and conse­ quently no roads. The king, immedi­ ately after landing, set men to work hewing out rocks sod making a circular road about 50 feet from the top of the cone shaped islands. The natives are not rapid workers, their tools are crude, and it was but a short time ago that the road was completed. This is the only road on the islands, and it begins and ends at the same place and is 15 miles long. Every afternoon the king, arrayed in a sport­ ing costume, exercises his one horse around this one road, while the natives gaze on in a state of admiration.--San Francisco Examiner.

The animal was valued at from $1,500 to $2,- 000. In the course of events the body was turned over to the rendering com­ pany, and in preparing it for rendering a curious discovery was made. In the stomach was a stone that weighed 15$ pounds and was as large as the top of a silk hat. Dr. E. & Kelley, commissioner of health, who examine the stone, is inter­ ested ia it and wiKondeavor to secure it for the Minnesota Academy of Natural Sctanoas.

Next week Wednesday is Decoration Day and every loyal citizen should do his part toward making the day a mem­ orable one. The hail stones on Thursday of last week were the largest ever seen in this section. Abont fifty lights of glass were broken in Medlar's Gallery, and a few in other parts of the town. Peter Rose lost one of bis horses last Saturday night as the result of some dis­ ease which the animal had contracted. This is a great loss to Pete as he had one of the finest teams in the county and it took a large sum of money to buy them from their former owner. Robert P. Eckert, who is studying law with States Attorney Heard atFreeport, accompanied that gentleman to Ottawa last week to take an examination to be admitted to the bar. Robert has studied hard the past two years and his many friends here will be pleased to learn that he was successful in passing the ex­ amination and is now a full-fledged lawyer. Frank W. Medlar and Miss Kate Brooks were married at Spencer, Iowa, last week Wednesday. The groom is an old Woodstock boy, the eldest son of J. S.
