r Let the new woman dress and talk
as she will. She likes it , and she's
just as fond of the old man as ever.
The Macedonians are in open revolt
7lgainst Turkey , but it has been a long
time since Macedonia was anything
more than a shadow in history.
It has been suggested that the Ger-
® an allowance of fifty bottles of champagne -
pagne to each member of the press at
Kiel was prompted by a desire for full
reports.
The progress of reform in New York
is shown by the refusal of a man to
accept a $7,500 office. Under the old
regime it would not have been offered
to a man who would refuse.
Virtue is always at a disadvantage
in a legislature. It has no money to
spend for virtuous purposes , and it
seems wrong to bribe a man to do his
duty however much noble patriots expect -
pect such greasing.
According to a census bulletin on
churches there are only twenty-five
"altrulstc" in the United States , and
judging from the general tone of modern -
ern society , these twenty-five confine
themselves to faith without works.
'Iowa , Illinois , Indiana , Missouri ,
Ohio and Georgia farmers must prepare
for war. So says Chief Entomologist
Howard , of the Agricultural Depart-
ment. The present is the "locust year"
for these. Those of the west central
group will be invaded by vast armies of
the seventeen-year brood , which last
appeared in 1878 , while Georgia will be
visted by the nineteen-year.or Southern
brood , last seen in 1882.
By the merest chance the Frankfurter -
er Journal has discovered the oldest
man in the world in the person of a
merchant residing at Heilbronn. This
gentleman , in a letter to the editor of
that periodical , styles himself ' A subscriber -
scriber from the first appearance of the
paper. " Such loyal devotion deserves
appropriate acknowledgment in this
fickle age , for the Journal has now completed -
pleted the 280th year of its existence.
The special newspaper room in the
new public library building , Boston ,
will contain representative newspapers
from every country in the known
world , and in every language in which
newspapers are printed. Nothing
which is not a newspaper can be admitted -
mitted to this room-all magazines , reviews -
views , etc. , being prohibited. This is
the first distinctively newspaper reading -
ing room ever established in connection -
tion with the educational institutions
of this country , and its foundation has
been made possible through the bequest
of the late J. H. Fiske , who left a perpetual -
petual endowment of $2,000 a year for
its maintenance.
The announcement has been made
public that President Seth Low would
give to Columbia College its new library -
brary , to cost about $1,000,000 , and W.
C. Schermerhorn would give $300,000 to
pay for the erection of one of the buildings -
ings on the new site. The New York
Evening Post says in this connection :
"President Low's magnificent gift of
$1,000,000 to Columbia College for a
library building , makes , we believe ,
dearly sixt millions the college has received -
ceived in gifts since he succeeded to the
presidency. This may fairly be said
to "beat the record" among American
colleges , if we except the foundation
of the Chicago University. "
Tacoma , Wash. , has a horse-canning
establishment which cans meat especially -
pecially for the French market. The
Cayuse Indian horse they use is a very
different animal from the old spavined ,
broken-down dray horses and plugs
used in Eastern and European locali-
ties. A party of Chicagoans were recently -
cently feasted on "Cayuse , " and found ,
whtle coarse , it was tender , and rather
pleasant to the palate. The coarseness
of the fiber makes it easily detected.
Speaking of the question , the New York
I Times wants to know where we shall
look for the horse of the future. The
Cleveland Plain Dealer says : "Look
for him in the bologna sausage. "
The last official report from Argentina -
tina showed that over 7,000,000 acres
bad been sown in wheat , and it was
estimated that the harvesting of this
crop cost $220,000,000 in paper money ,
gold being at a premium of 270 per
cent. Many of the farmers , it is said ,
did not harvest the wheat. The total
yield of the present crop in Argentina
is put at 1,200,000 tons , for which the
farmers would get $48,000,000 , causing
a lois of $162,000,000. The average price
of wheat there is $4 for 100 kilos of 220
pounds. The export of this year's crop
in Argentina is put at 540,000 tons. If
Argentina is losing money on wheat ,
it may be a sign that the farmers in
the United States have a chance to
make some little profit on their crop.
Canada is going to reduce her militia
force. This is the mast sensible thing
Canada could do under the circum-
stances. She doesn't need militia to
' protect her from the United States , and
a 3 if she ever gets into a fight with Great
Britain , Brother Jonathan will protect
, , : - her with his new navy.
Winfield , Kan. , bad a shower of
grasshoppers the other evening , and at
t Chicago it rained snakes. The difference -
ference in the effects on the mind in

Killed by a Runaway.
Two men named McKenzie and
O'Leary started from Omaha in a buggy ,
intending to drive to their home at La
Platte. About six miles north of
Plattsmouth , a heavy wagon pulled by
a large span of horses , was coining directly -
rectly back of their buggy and the animals -
mals became frightened and dashed
into the light buggy. The two occupants -
pants were thrown violently to the
ground and run over by the heavy
wagon.
Mr. McKenzie was frightfully bruised
and crushed and died in great agony
the next morning. Mr. O'Leary is
quite seriously injured , but his physi
cian thinks he will recover.
Three Girls Drowned.
A Columbus dispatch says : A most
shocking and heart rending accident
happened about 5 o'clock this after-
noon. Three young girls lost their
their lives by drowning in the Platte
river , just below the wagon bridge
near Columbus.
Lizzie , aged 13 , daughter of Charles
Klaus ; May , aged 12 , and Hulda , aged
7 , daughters of Gottlieb Klaus of Columbus -
lumbus , were bathing or w ading in the
river in company with an older Klaus
girl about 15. In some way the entire
party got into the swift current and
the three younger ones were lost while
the older one by hard struggling , after
drifting half a mile , managed to escape
on a sand bar and gave the alarm.
The bodies were recovered , two of
them one-half mile and the other two
miles below the scene of the accident
Will have Floats.
The executive committee of the Business -
ness Men's association of Omaha held a
meeting and transacted a large amount
of routine business. Word has been
received from a large number of counties -
ties which will have floats in the Nebraska -
braska parade , but still a number of
enterprising cities and counties have
not yet sent in word of any kind. The
Omaha Business Men's association has
made arrangements with the railroads
to transport the floats free of cost , and
is anxious for every county through its
principal city to be represented in the
parade. Every effort will be made to
make the parade the biggest advertisement -
ment ever given of the whole state of
Nebraska. William Lyle Dickey , secretary -
retary of the association , will answer
all letters on the subject addressed to
him , and the association will assist in
every was possible any city which desires -
sires to send a float
Promoting Irrigation. .
Much attention is being attracted to
windmill irrigation in this portion of
the Lodge Pole valley , says a Dix dispatch -
patch , by the remarkable discovery
made in the irrigation well of Hon.
John Clausen. This well is 18x0 feet ,
and twenty-four feet deep. In thebot-
tom a hole was broken through a crust
of hard 'pan , through which a stream
of water rises with great velocity. A
nine-inch pump running continuously
in a high wind fails to lower the sup-
ply. A colony of well-to-do families is
now forming in eastern Nebraska to
come to this place in the fall and settle
on forty-acre irrigated farms.
NO SETTLERS MASSACRED
INDIAN AGENT TEETER POSITIVELY
DENIES THE REPORT
ABSOLUTELY TRUTHLESS.
The Indian Bureau at Washington So In
formed by Telegraph-The Cause of
the Trouble Fully Explnincd
by Mr. Stltzer in an
Official Report to the
Authorities.
WASIIINGTGN , July 20.-The Indian
bureau has received a dispatch from
Agent Teter saying there is absolutely
no truth in the report of a massacre of
the Jackson's Hole settlers
The Causes of the Trouble.
CIIE.YENNE , Wyo. , June 29.-Adjutant
General Stitzer has forwarded his report -
port of the Indian trouble to the gov-
ernor. It is quite a lengthy document
and covers fully the causes leading to
the trouble. It says : "In an interview -
view on Sunday with four prominent
residents of Jackson's Hole , the following -
lowing statements were given me as
grounds for the action of the settlers :
They claimed that the Bannocks , Shoshones -
shones and Lemhfs have for the past
six years slaughtered game in large
numbers , mainly for their hides. In
1894 , after repeated appeals from the
county authorities of Fremont and
Uintah counties , the interior department -
ment ordered that no more passes
should be given the Indians allowing -
lowing them tc leave the reservation -
vation for the purpose of hunting.
It is estimated that 5,000 elk were
killed iu that year. This year the settlers -
tlers of Jackson's Hole determined to
enforce the law a4-ainst the Indians
and whites alike. Oa June 24 , a process -
cess was issued for the arrest of nine
Bannock Indians for violating the law-
When the constable and posse attempted -
tempted to sevre their papers , they resisted -
sisted and threatened to kill them unless -
less they went back to Jackson's Hole.
Just about this time a squaw man living -
ing at the Hole received a letter from
the Indian Bannock reservation stating -
ing that the Bannocks intended to go
on the war path and kill the whites in
the Jackson hole country. This letter
was shown to the settlers and created
a great deal of excitement.
"On July 2 eight Bannocks were arrested -
rested for killing game , and six of
them were fined $7. and costs and sentenced -
tenced to jail until the fine was paid.
They escaped from the guard and on
July 10 more of the same tribe were
arrested. They attempted to escape
after trial and were fired on by the
whites , several of them being killed.
On July 9 Captain John Smith , a miner
and prospector , was fired on from
ambush and wounded in the
right breast. lie returned the fire ,
killing one of the Indians. The shooting -
ing of Captain Smith caused a great
deal of excitementt and the settlers
believing that the letter received by
the squaw man was true , prepared to
defend themselves against the expected -
ed attack.
"Besides killing large numbers of
game , all the Indians arrested had in
their possession hides taken from the
settlers' cattle , which the Indians had
killed. It is claimed that over 3,000
head of elk have been killed this season -
son , the Indians chasing game into the
settlements and shooting indiscriminately -
ately among the houses , endangering
tine lives of settlers. "
Trouble is Oregon Possible.
PORTLAND , Ore. , July 29.-An Indian
Near , similar to that which has broken
gut between the Lannocks and Utes
and the settlers of Wyoming , may engage -
gage the attention of the Oregon authorities -
thorities in the near future unless the
interior department at Washington
takes immediate steps to prevent the
Indians now on the reservations in
this state from indiscriminately
slaughtering game and fish in season
and out. Ever since Fish and Game
Protector McGuire has been in office
he has had trouble with reservation
Indians. Last summer about 100In-
dians from the Warm Springs reservation -
tion fished out of the Clackamas river
in the vicinity of the new experimental
hatchery , a spot which has been their
favorite fishing grounds for many
years. Another fishing party is expected -
pected to arrive and go into camp at
the new hatchery within the next
three weeks-just when the salmon
are spawning-and unless some measures -
ures are taken to stop them they will
surely have trouble with the hatchery
employcs.
Utah Red Men Also Unlia py.
SALT LAtrE , Utall , July 29.-Quint
Panqueuteh , an Indian known throughout -
out Utah , was shot and killed at Pan-
queutch lake in the mountains , Thursday -
day , by a man named Haegelsted. The
verdict rendered was accidental death ,
but the Indians in that vicinity are
anythfn _ but satisfied with the case as
it now stands. Theyy are quite numerous -
ous around the lake , which is an isolated -
lated place , and they may make serious
trouble.

.PRICES FOR THIRTY YEARS
The Sliver Debaters Dlscass Wages and
Wheat Figures.
CHIcAGoJuly 29.-When the last debate -
bate , but one , of the Ilarvey-Horr silver -
ver convention opened this afternoon ,
Mr. Herr began with a comparison of
the wages and the cost of products
during the years from 1860 to 1890 , as
shown in the table prepared by Statistician -
tician Carroll D. Wright. With
wages and prices in IS60 taken as
the index , or 100 , it showed that in
1890 prices were 9. , wages 159 , and the
purchasing power of wages 172. He
argued that at no time in the history
of the nation was the country as prosperous -
perous as it was then , in spite of the
"crime of 1873 , " He submitted that
these statistics were more applicable
to the conditions under discussion than
those of Mr Sauerbeck , quoted by
Mr. Harvey on Thursday , as Mr. Sauer-
beck's figures were made from prices
in Englaild.
Mr. Harvey , in turn , took up the
prices of wheat for a series of years , in
reply to Mr. Horr's statement Thursday -
day that the farmer received as much
for his produce in gold as Ile had received -
ceived before silver was demonetized.
He quoted the prices from year to year
and declared that the arguments of
Mr. Herr were those which had been
used in all time to bulwark tyranny.
The Declaration of Independence was a
proper answer to such arguments. The
proper index of prices was to measure
them in articles of international use.
Tables made up by gold men even , on
these articles , showed that they were
lower than in 1850. Referring to Mr.
Ilorr's argument touching the measure
of value in human toil , lie quoted from
an article by Mr. Iiorr in a New York
paper in reply to a correspondent suggesting -
gesting the making of so much work
the equivalent of a dollar. Mr. Herr
declared the proposition absurd and
confusing.

ing the prospective size of the forthcoming -
