It Is an interesting coincidence, that tho
first call upon General Kltzhugh Leo (or
troops since ho assumed command of the
Department of tho Missouri should ho lor
tho suppression of an Indian uprising on
tha Indian territory border exactly thu
same strip of country where, about forty
three years ago, tha gcncal engaged In his
last active battto as an olllccr In tho United
States hrmy.
General Leo was shot by Indians and se
verely wounded during that engagement
und ho pointed out his route on the map
this morning und turned reminiscent.
In 1858 General Leo was a second lieuten
ant of cavalry and under Major Van Horn,
who In after years became n general In tho
confederato urmy, took part in tho Co
tnancho war In northern Texas and thu
western part of tho Indian Territory. Tho
troops were ordored Wednesday to Henri
etta, Tpx.. h station on the Kort Worth &
Denver and tho Missouri. Kansas & Texas
railroads. Thoy left Kort Keno yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock und will arrive at
Henrietta about 4 o'clock.
ChniiRrH hlnt'f t'ort) -l lircc Yearn Ami,
The force at tho disposal of tho depart
ment whlcn cuu bo plated III tho affected
territory within twenty-four, bourn nro two
troops of cavalry ut Jefferson Uarracks, one
troop at Kort Logan II. Hoots, Ark., und
two troops at Kort Itllcy. Ju addition to
this 1,000 Infantrymen can be plucud on tho
ground If necessary.
Klfty years ago campaigning In tho terri
tory was u different affair. Henrietta, now
ut a Junction of two railroads, did not exist.
The nearest outpost of civilization waj
Kort 8111 and Kort Gibson to thu northeast.
Speaking of his former campaign this morn
ing over tho ground upon which tho troops
wero t-cnt Wednesday, General Leo suld:
"This territory, now In tho Department
of tho Missouri, was thuu in thu Depart
ment of Texas, Under Major Van1 Doru tho
cavalry started out to chastise the Co
manches, who had been commlttlug
depredations In that territory. Wo marched
over thu present site of Henrietta, crossed
tho Hed river and pitched our tents on tho
houth sldo of the Wichita mountains, west
of Kort Sill. Here we .met (ho Indians, nnd
In the fight which followed killed over titty
61 them."
In that engagement General Leo wan
-Aounded with ou arrow which passed be
tween tho ribs on his right Hide and pene
trated his lungs. Ha was carried 200 miles
on a mule litter, nnd a gadlly nearly caused
his death, Tho general entertains n lively
remembrance of that trip over tho plains,
(uillty CauxeM Trouble.
"A, mulo litter," said ho, "was one of tho
Institutions of tho old army, and was used
as auxiliary to thu ambulance. It possessed
tho merit of being easily made and was
fairly effective. To make It two poles wero
cut about sixteen feet long, ltetween tho
poles, placed three or four feet apart, slats
wero nailed as In a ladder, leaving four
feet at each cud of thu poles bare. Augur
boles wero bored in thu top of tho poles and
saplings weru bent In tho form of wagon
bows reaching from one polo to tho other.
Over this tent canvas was thrown to afford
tho woundcit mum elielterr On- tup-of 'ttio
ttlatn was placed a mattress composed of
blankets. At tho end of tho polea, where
tho sluts were left off, atrnps were attached
which wero designed to bo suspended across
tho back of n mule. Tho man was placed
upon thu Utter with his feet forward, nnd
his heud below tho canvas directly under
tho dead of tho rear mule.
"When I was being carried from tho
fight in ono of these Utters tho horse flies
wero bad and one .of them hail persistently
bothered tho surgeon's horse. Klually It
lighted on tho rear litter mule nnd thu
doctor struck ut It with his whip. Tho
raulo Jumped backward whllu tho forward
mulo walked on. Tho result was that the
head of tho litter fell to tho ground. Tula
scared tho forward mulo and It ran away,
dragging tho litter several hundred yards
across tho prnlrlo, until tho troopers could
capture It. Internal hemorrhugo was In
duced by tho fall, nnd when the surgeon got
to mo ho thought my chanco for recovery
Bllm, Hut I got well nnd as sound as u
dollar."
Tho general looked at lh map and said
slowly; "Yob, It was right over this samo
ground whero I mado my last campaign
on tho soil of tho United States as an o Ul
cer In tho United States nrmy."
"When I was prostrated with grip and
my heart nnd nerves wero In bad shape,

ERNEST OIUHT mUST EXPLAIN

Attorney lo DlitiiN l.nretHiy

Tho trial of Ernest Stuht, charged with
having stolen n large quantity of water
front tho Omaha Water company by means
of a secret connection of tho service plpcn
of his Eleventh street housoa with tho
mains, wan rvsumcd in pollco court yes
- onlay. ImTiortnnt evidence was given by
,. II. Hunt nnd K. M. Kalrfleld, ollloirs
of the water company. Mr. Hunt said that
ho was driving past the Stuht property
one day In June and saw Stuht emerging
from tho meter box with a wremdi In his
hands. Mr. Kalrllcld, wht was with Mr.
Hunt on this drive, corroborated the testi
mony and then the sta'-o rested. Tho de
fense moved for n dismissal of the case.
Tho grotinds for tho motion ns slated by
the attorney were that it should bo shown
that Stuht made tho connection between the
stub ends of tho service pipo whero the
motor had been removed from the west Bldo
of Eleventh street nnd that water had
been stolen by Stuht, tho proof of both of
which points ho denied. He also assorted
that water In tho streams Is public prop
erty and that tho water furnished
by the company Is not Us prl
vnto property nnd that the company
Ih but ' n common carrier. Citing
n caso In Minnesota for the theft of gas, ho
claimed that the slato must show that
Stuht procured tho plpo with which tho
connection was mado; that he personally
mado thu connection; that ha turned on tho
stopcock, allowing tho water to pass
through thu connection, and that ho opened
the faucets, allowing tho water to escape.
Tho assistant county attorney, In chargo
of tho cf,sp, reviewed tho claims In detail,
nftor which Judge l.carn oerruled the
motion. In doing so ho cnlled attention to
sovcrat points in the evidence, asserting
that when tho Investigation was mado by
tho officers of tho company and tho fact
was dUcovt red, in the presence of Stuht.
that tho closing of the plpo which supplied
tho ono remaining meter did not shut off
tho supply for tho row of houses, Stuht
exclaimed, "Oh, I know all about that. '
That remark, In tho opinion of tho Judgo,
with other facts, established n suspicion of
thu connection of Stuht with the caso, which
ho should be given n chnnco to explain
Tho hearing was continued until next Tues

Vlctorlu was not moro thnn 16 sweet 1C
when she met nnd fell violently In lovo
nt first sight with her cotiBln, Prlnco Al
bert of Snxe-Coburg. Tho prince was a
manly fellow, rather short and thick set,
but lino looking, rosy-cheeked, natural and
simple In hln manners nnd of n ch'eerful dis
position. Vlctorln, at this period, was a
slight, graceful and Interesting girl. Albert
took much Interest In everything nbotit him
nnd while on hlr visit to England ho spent
much of his tlmo In playing ou the piano
with his cousin, Victoria. She fell in love
with him at oncn, but he was not, It seems,
bo badly Miilttcn. Ho wrote to his Uncle
Leopold that ho liked his cousin nnd found
her a very bright and amiable girl.
Soon nftor this Albert returned to tho
continent and spent Home tlmo in travel
nnd study, writing orcnslonally to Vlctorln
and she to him. When tho young prlnco
next visited England Victoria had becomo
queen. Tho object of tho young prince's
visit this timo wan to plcnd for the hand
and heart of tho young quoen. Victoria's
lovo wns evidently rekindled upon tho Bight
of Albort, Judging from tho following, which
she wrote to her uncle, Leopold:
"Albert's beauty Is moat striking nnd ho
Is mon nmlablo nnd unaffected In short,
very fascinating."
And she wns not wrong In her oplulon of
Albert, for tho short, thick-set boy hnd
grown Into n tall, couitiy youth, with ele
gant manners and a strikingly handsome
face. A few days after IiIb urrlval Victoria
had mado up her mind, and, sending for
Lord Melbourco, tho prlmo mlnlstor. told
him that she wns going to marry Prlnco
Albert. Tho next day she fcent for tho
prince, and, "In a genuine outburst of
heartiness nnd love," Bho declared to him
that ho had gained her whole heart nnd
would make her very happy If ho would
Bharo her life with her. Ho responded
with wart aftecllon, nnd thus thoy be
enmo betrothed.
Queen Victoria hns been spoken of ns the

from tho revenues of thu duchy of Lan

Ono feature which Is to bo especially
urged for passage by tho club Is that per

tion pertaining to Improvements thero Is
n clauso to tho effect that tho city may
voto not to exceed J20.000 in bonds In nny

permits a majority of property owners to
secure tho grading of a ntreet Instead of
two-thirds of all front footage, ns is now
tho custom.
Theso Improvement clauses nrc attracting

fact that efforts aro boltig mado to open a

If tho members of the legislature who
aro considering tno new aoutu unuum
charter wont a demonstration of tho fact
that a viaduct Is needed over the tracks
nt either N or O streets, they should make
an attempt to cross to tho yards nny tlmo
between 7 nnd 0:30 o'clock. Yesterday
morning a long train of freight cars bound
for Omaha delayed traffic acrosB the trucks
for fully llftcen minutes. The englno pull
ing tho train laid down Just south of tho
L street viaduct and a big mogul No. Ii07
hooked on nnd after some delny pulled tho

It not every morning anil there Is fre
quently moro or less delay In crossing the

It Is reported now that another effort Is
to bo mado by tho Union Pacific to havo

part of tho city with a vlow to rearrang

u now Union Pacific depot will be built
and then thero will bo a bridge acrosB

however, will tho railroad managers Bcrl

Victoria.
Tho young East Indian found her royal
highness most attractive nnd when bo went

Indifferent to nls admiration, that person

Wlon Mr. Slever's Identity with Dob Sutton
was discovered the presentation was can
celed. Though the mills of tho gods grind
slowly, they grind sure, nnd "Bob" ban had
his rovenge on the court of St. James, or
thinks he has. At tha sale of tho lato duke
of WestmlnBter's stud the Australian
"booklp" was bidding for a filly by tho
prince of Wales' Derby winner, Porblmmon,
from Ornament. When tho bidding had
reached 6,000 guineas Sutton was confi
dently told that tho prince wished to secure
tho filly.
"So do I," was Mr. Sutton's answer, with
somo quaint Australian expressions added.
The bidding continued, und tho filly was
eventually knocked down to tho bookmaker
at tho unprecedented price of 10,000 guinea.

D. Appleton Co. have added to their
"Literatures of the World" series, edited
by Edmund Gosse, ''A History of Chinese
Literature," by Herbert A. Giles, professor
of Chinese In tho University of Cambridge.
The series is a succession of attractive vol
umes dealing with the history of literature
In cajh country. Each volume contains
about 350 pages nnd treats an cntlro litera
ture, giving a uniform Impression of its
development, history nnd character, and of
Its relation to previous and contemporary
work. Among the volumes already pub
lished may bo montloncd, "Sanscrit Litera
ture," "Kufslan Literature," "Dohcmlin
Literature," 'Japancto Literature,"
"Spanish Literature," "Italian Liter
ature, "Ancient Oreck Literature,'
nnd "Modern Ergllsh Literature,"
Several other volumes nro In course of
preparation. Tho latest addition to this
nerlos Is tho book at hand, "A History of
Chinese Literature," which 1b the drat at
tempt In any language to produce a history
of tho literature of the Klowery Kingdom.
Nntlvo Rcholars, with their endless crit
iques and appreciations of Individual works,
do not seem ever to havo contemplated
anything of tho kind, realizing, no doubt,
tho utter hopelessness, from a Chlncso
point o! view, of achieving even compara
tive success in a general historical survey
of tho subject. Tho voluminous character
of tho literature which was already
In existence somo six centuries before the
Christian era nnd bus run on uninterrupt
edly until tho present dnte, may well hnvo
given pauso to writers aiming at complete
ness. Tho foreign student, turnover, is on
a totally different footing. It may be said
without offense that a work which would
be luadequato to the requirements of a
nntlvo public may properly be submitted to
English readers ns an Introduction Into tho
great Hold which lies beyond. The author
has devoted a largo portion of his book to
translation, thus enabling tho Chinese
author, so far ns translation will allow, to
speak for himself. Ho hnn also added, hero
and there, remarks by native critics, that
the reader may be able to form an Idea
of tho point of view from which the Chlncso
Judgo tholr own productions. Students of
literature, nn well ns all readers having
nn Interest In tho literary productions of n
foreign people, will find It a most enter
talnlng and Instructive volume. Tho
nuthor hnn succeeded most happily In giving
n general view of the most cxtcnslvo
literature pocscssed by any people in tho
world nnd a lltcraturo that Is comparatively
unknown to western nations, Tho readers
of thin volume who havo, possibly, been
laboring under tho delusion that tho
Chinese nro n barbarous peoplo, will bo stir
prised to learn many beauties nnd refine
ments of their literature. Tho political
complications that havo turned tho atten
tion of tho world toward Chlnn bid fair to
open to tho world her literary treasures
at tho samo tlmo that they are opening
her ports to commerce. D. Appleton & Co.,
