The dem ocrats long since B VO up the llffhr , and prac tically turned the iimnnKcinentof affutia over 'to ' the railroads. A Btlll hunt has been not only vigorously jirosecutctl in the Interest of the iteuiourutic T.ulrond commissioners , but also in favor of 1'ntnck Henry Smytho of Hnrlington , the democratic nominee for Judge of the suprtme 'court , The railroad lawyers , In looking up Jho record of .luduo ( ! ranger , the republican < jMndidatc , found his decisions to bo uni- iWniily In favor of the people , nnd have "crtly made a bitter llpht agulnst him. His Tury nuniQ has an ominous sound , from a railio.nl standpoint , und his judicial career uud decisions Iwve been decidedly on the prungcr order No ono believes for a mo ment that they ran defeat him , but ho will likely run some thousand votes behind his ticket. ' .1 Tlio Hcnsation of the week was the dlsoov- Tferi that the railroads had dropped Lund and ivcro resorting to fraud and forgery to bol- mertip the candidacy of Wills and Doy. > X < * rank T.

It is understood thut many of jihoM ) "workurn" will pretend to bo fanners , Dud some of them may oven claim to be mem bers of the Farmers' ulllanco.

About Fittahurg Dispntoli : Hviis a most dia- tin uished nuistorof the art of burglary , 1 thini ; , who said that the two things tie most feared to llnd in n house , eyed by him profcsslonrtllv. wore a barking terr'ior find a cryinc1 baby. Another hurglur of the modern school told a law yer who defended him very ably in court that if he wanted to acuri ; away burglars he should not equip his doors with modern locks , bat use instead the cumbrous , creaking machines upon which our grandfathers depended. Still , for various reason , we uunnot nil of us bo protected with babies of tune ful nocturnal note , and some of us pre fer burglars to dogs in the house. And as to locks , there is something beside the illegal entry of strangers into our houses to bo considered , to-wit , our own access. Anybody who has called for an hour on a wintry night with tin old- fashioned lock will probably declare for a 13 nil mm or aalo with burglars thrown in. There is a most estimable lady who relies upon a quaint contrivance of her own making to scare away burglars. Nightly she arranges on tho" table in the hall outside her bedroom door , a man's bat and cane and a pistol c < tsc the latter a rolicof revolutionary times. These articles have not boon stolen yet , M > that it is reasonable to believe that burglars have never entered thohoiito. Another hid } , I have beard it said , places her faith in a family bible , some largo dictionaries and other weighty volumes. Eac-h night , before retiring , she draws a table on which these books lire laid near her bedstead , and upon the approach of burglars .she intends to overturn the table , booUrf and all. The consecutive crash , she rightly calcu lates , will alarm the household and tor- rifv the intruder. The drawback to this plan is that whenever a high wind or an uneasy cat breaks the dead silence of the night the lady , without consideration or inquiry , lets down the avatnncho of book's , and the rest of the household are led to be lieve that an earthquake or an explos ion of gas is threatening their exist ence. This is etnbarrasing. All fine Liquor Stores soil Jarvla' best. Whore Women Illdo Horseback \at ride. Buffalo Express : A visitor in the valley of the Yosemite says that ono important fact to bo ob served there , but which 'is never mentioned in the guide books and sol- dam , in newspaper .correspondence ) 4s that the women visitors , \vtio explore the place to any. extent do so oil liorbe- back and ride astrido. Tlio stoops arose so abrupt that a woman who attempts them porohed unnaturally on ono side of a beast is sure to come to grief , and coming to grief on mountain trails , where the precipices area mile high , s a matter of life and death. Women nust either luavo Lhaglories of the Yosemite - semite uubcon or they must employ all the advantages which nature has given them. And really , \yhen you come to think of it , why should not women ride astride as well as in on ? Among the plaius Indians and other equestrian people women ride the biuno as men and never think of riding any other way. All doctors recommend .Tarvis' Brandy. Stringent Hnnlcriitt Irnws. American Banker : In Franco and Germany a bankrupt Is liable to bo pun ished by imprisonment if it is found that his jierbonal expenses have been excessive , if he has lost largo sums of money by ( rambling or Block exchange operation , if ho has put accommodation notes in circulation to stave off failure. or If ho has failed , to icoep correct nnd proper books. It is needless jo suy that rigorouo methods of this kind ha uol been adopted in the United states , whore they would go tar toward adding to the number of those in our various nonal institutions ; and thus far even in England they have not boon looked upon as nocosary. . But the tendency of tlio times is ho rlc.u'ly toward an un warrantable use of the credit system that it would not bo surprising if some check of this kjnd were applied in Kng- land , and , should it succeed there , be adopti'd after a while in this country.

The wholesale illegal killing of heso noble game birds threatens their 'Peedv ' extinction In this state if more strin gent laws uru not enacted nnd enforced. rl ho gun club was well nvvaro of this nefa- iotis phictlccall through the summer months , mil yet they remained p.isslvo when the nr- rcst of ono or two of the mnlfnctors , and ; he.\ were known , and the imposition of the maximum fine , $100 for ouch bird killed , ivonld in a gre.it me.isure have stopped the Illalnous practice and had a salutary effect .pan pot hunters throughout the stato. The awl sail there is left to Insure the legiti mate sport anj pleasure among the grouse anil chicken in the years to como. The birds must bo protected from these Insati.ite mar ket slaughterers or nil sport from this source must come to a speedy termination. And then , too , the chicken are not alone to be legislated for , ns there are the Jack-snipe , geese , duoks nnd wild fowl generally , which ipucies of valuable game birds have no pro- octioti from the law whatsoever. Spring snipe shooting should bo abolished alto gether , nnd the full nnd spring ducking sea- ion shortened. The club at Its next moot- ng will discuss these matters. A Modal Gymnasium.

It is the former class who jrcatly need physical exercise and who will appreciate the enterprise of the Y. M. C. A. 'n their behalf. James T. Gwathmoy , an ox- lerienced instructor , has been engaged ds manager of the gymnasium and will devote his entire time to giving instructions and ovci seeing the work.

So far , the nresent fall ducking season , despite the predictions nnd anticipation of great shooting , lias been unprcccdcntedly | x > or. There has been literally no geese , and the flight of ducks has been sparse and ir regular , und the first good bag is yet to bo reported. Tlio Omaha Gun club's annual shoot , no far as thu socurument of game WHS concerned , w almost an entire failure. Hni ? < < ' four , five and sometimes a dozen AucV * wore made , ana no gccse , and'but few wcro grassed. Rabbits und squirrels , too , escaped extensive slaughter , but owls und hawks suffered considerably. This is i.ccQunted for by the long , unintur- i up ted spell of mild und even sultry weather. There lias not been sufficient cold in the north to set the great body of wild fowls In motion , on their annual migration to the tor rid zone. Those that have como in , have been isolated Hocks , that gathered iu the abundant feeding grounds , and remain there , basiling in the sun , und defying the umbi licus hunter. There is an indication now , however , that the birds are coming in their vvoutcJ numbers. FloeUs of ducks are seen scurrying down the Missouri valley night anil morning , . .ml the bars along the legend ary 1'lattc are said to bu covered with gccso , Canudas and HiitchmH , nnd whlto and npocklcd brant.

O'Moara , in Chicago Globe : At Virginia City , Nov. , during the palmy days of the Comstock output , everyone knew Madge wild , beautiful Mndgo Taylor , whoso uyauty and pranks were the talk of the town. Strangers arriving in the place nnd lounging along C street could not fall to observe a dainty bit ftf femininity gliding along at intervals during any sunshiny day , and mentally or audibly would exclaim : "What a lovely glrll" Overheard by some veteran minor , peculator , or sport , the response would bo : "You bet ! She's the daintiest bit of womankind that can bo found nny- wherol" And if you had asked : "Who is shoV" you would liavo bnen answered : "Lord ! Don't you know our Madge's history'/ Why , you must bo a tender foot on this coaat not to know her. Your eyes can tell you that she is lovely , but they can't tell you what a wild , tumult uous hnart she carrion. If you lend mo your oar a few minutes I'll tell you something of her. I'll toll it with pride , because we are all justly proudof Madge. Perhaps you have hoard of the Yellow Jacket mine caving in ono day , n year or HO ago.

Why , sir , gamblers shut down on their games , and oven the follows that hung rouud the faro tables grubbing 'sleepers , ' slunk loward the outside like .yellow dogs to fo wjhnt yrnp the cause of the great stillnobS-that then reigned.

" * * * * * * * Some years nftorUho above interview with Jack Frost JtfttM'rltor arrived at Tombstone , Arl/s/j 'thon ' a thriving and rich mining cnmpHhat had just been opened , andtowarti' 'ljiich many a miner nnd "tenderfoot" i V'tt8 traveling In 'of " " " ' " search wealte.1 I Wont to a "hotel" and nftur ty'iking myself ready for refreshment by a wns.h aud n glass ; of something strong und searching to'waah down the dusty nlkali accumulation of ft stapo .rido of seventy or more miles , I betook mybolf to the dining room nnd dnt down at u table. As I did so I iKJcamd conscious of tlio presence of someone fair and lovely , and. tliou a. sweet , silvery voice &ild' "What ' will you hnvo. sir , for sup port" I was sotpowlmt startlou by. ( ho , mU- slcal voice , and looked at tlio beautiful and. fair young woman who asked mo Tor my ruor. v , , . She -was a woman bolowtho inodjuir ) height ) ! , but bf such n model us Pou'or.s , 'our sculptor , wouldj)0prpud to luiyo fqr a model of u gruator Grecian ilavo. The Uil6s ol the bewitching face were not regular and correct. ' The nose was a dainty morsel , with thin , quivering nostrils , The mouth wtiM rather large , but rivaled Cunid's bow in Its curves , and its bloom that of adalnask two and , as the lips parted , revrared teeth un rivalled by dentists' art. Hut the cyoft wore entr.inclltg , they glimmered and spnrkelcd like the evening star. Arched cyobroWs am } long black eyelashes - lashes to adorn UK-HI : skUt as fair u the lily , nnd cheeks with the soft nnd exquisite bloom of a rioh and rljw Cali fornia peai'h. Hair glimmering with golden light nnd daint.v curls fluttering like humming birds oii n broad and low aliih.iwtoi'-MUo brow. She was dressed in a neat and clean calico dress , with n dainty white rufllo round her beautiful wJiltu neOlc. When she rutiohod forth to my tnbli' to arrange the napkins her fluttering snowllakos of hands tempted mo to prow my lips to them. She departed to got my order , nnd I i-ould not resist the toinptatlnn of gat ing after her. When I looked round from the entrancing sight my eye mt > t that of a veteran grilled prospector , who , with a grin , cried : "Ain't she a bird ? " "Mini ! a bird ? " I repeated. ' "No ; she's nil angel. " "Yes , paid , you hot , for I've felt her inflooenco since I've been hero. Why , stranger , when I'm wandering foot-sore , tired and thirsty on the mountains , sometimes afearod the Apaoho devils may got my scalp. I think of Madge , and its food , water and safety to mo , and I hope it'll end in good luk. During thu weeks 1 remained at thoM M hotel I often saw Madge , and learned from the hotel flork that she had got a divorce from her husband , aud , coming to Tombstone upon the first opening of the camp , had bravely and uncomplainingly set to work to earn an honest living. But within the las > tweok or two Mike , her husband , had discov ered her whereabouts , anU came to the cnmp in search of her , and had got em ployment as a barkeeper in tha siiloon opposite. Ho had endeavored to regain her friendship , aud to that end called nt the hotel a nuiuht'r of times , but f > hc refused to > ; ue him. Notwithstanding , ho watched her coming and going , and hung about the hole' ' during his idle hours , but without avail. One morning \\hilo I waa sitting in front of tbo hotel with the clerk he suddenly - donly cried. "Thoro. there goes Mike , our Madge's husband1' ! Looking across the street I saw n tall , woll-formed , dandy looking sort of a follow , erect in figure , long , well-kept moustache , oily locks , black , piercing , but cruel-looking eyes , a weak ollomin- atc face. Again my companion cried : "And there goes Frank Lester ! " The latter wasa tnodium-siviod , rather voung looking1 follow , his stout , well- knit , erect figure , dressed in dark blue trousers nntt fringed buckskin , broad sombrero , below uhich was a face bold and fcarlcbslooking , but very handsome. I had often hoard of Frank while ho was a scout for General Crook during hia ftrst campaign against the Apaohes , and ho bore a first-rate reputation as a fearless and trustworthy scout. Ho had quit the government services and set tled down in the camp as a di.spoiibcr of straight nnd mixed liquors and but few "rustlers" or other desperadoes dared tackle him. The largeand elegant "Orient Saloon" wns just completed and about to bo opened , so the proprietors made ar rangements to give the boys a chance to "trip the ligiit fantastic too , " and afterward recuperate tholr energies with a lunch. All the women of the cnmp among them Mrs , Morinrity , who wns a rival of the heathen Chinee in the laundry line were duly invited. When Madgo entered the ballroom clinging to the arm of Frank Lester nil oyoH were turned on the pair. After tlio first dance with Frank , Madgo was sought by a score or more of the boys of every degree for apartnerin the dance. Long before the lunch was spread a loud slap was heard , and cries of "Slmnie , shatno on you for a cowardly bruto. " I hnitoned toward the scene of the tu mult nnd saw beautiful Maago standing as straight nnd rigid as any sapling , with her starry eyes like blue sapiiiret , , her scarlet lips colorless , parted and re vealing her brilliant teeth , confronting her maddened , desperate husband' , who was held in strong embrace by two sturdy men. Then Frank sudden'ly np- poarcd on the scene , and bending a look of ragu nnd scorn upon Mike , turned to Madge , und gracefully bowing , said : "Miss Madge , permit mo to escort you homo. " The form of the outraged woman at the sound of Frank's voice bent to pli- nhlunobS from its rigidity , and the color coming to her face , I could plainly bee where the cruel hand of her husband hml dealt a blow by the flaming red spot on her cheek. Frank nnd Madge retired undisturbed from the disgraceful scono. Mike nskuil to be released , and prom ised to behave himself , so he was al lowed to go by those holding him. I could not help but notice the fierce and malignant look of Mike's eyes as ho loft the place. So I followed him , be lieving that murder was in his heart , lie hastened to his saloon , and , going behind the bar , put something in his pocket , then for fifteen or more minutes lounged up nnd down the street in front of the hotel where his wife was em ployed. The summer's sun is extremely hot in Arizona , nnd therefore builders , for pro tection against the flery ruyfc build in front of prominent houses wide balco nies or awnings. So a wide balcony was built in front of the hotel whore Madge was emplojed. Frank and Afadgevcro ( sitting on this balcony , e.xtonding from the bccond floor for bo it known that Frank and Madge were plighted lovofs when sud denly someone thrust open the door leading from the hotel parlor , and pre senting a pistol Hrod a shot which grnrbd the head of Frank , und plowed a fur row through the scalp to the skull. Frank immediately turned and saw his would-be assassin , Mike , in Iho act of tiring another Shot at closer range , for Mike , nfter ho had fired hastened toward his intended victim , so ho dropped on his knees , nnd the shot whistled above his head ; then ho grap pled the legs of his assailant and throw him over his head onto the wide bal cony , and whipping out his own pistol rapidly fired two shots at his prostrate and foiled assailant , mortally wounding him. Along with other persons I hastened to the balcony , and there was Madgo standing as I had scon her in the Ori ent waloojl , and Frank , putting up hib yet smoking pistol into his bolt , escort. her from the fearful scene. When wo lifted Mike from the bal cony to take him \\ithin door * , with n deep ouise , his legs twitched , he gave ono { roan and gave up the ghpt. Frank was urrcstod- tried , and ac quitted. Same .months afterwards I wius in Tuc son , and who should I moot but Fritnl ; nnd Mnaga walking arm-ln-uriu along the street.

Joncth Im Klcschc. The into .losopb La Flosoho once the head uhiaf of the Omaha Indians , vvns donconded upon Ills father' * Dido from an old I'YiMicU family that reached Anlorica at an curly date. The first mis.sloml.ry to the Indiana of the north * west was n Ln Flesoho. In the begin ning of the prt' oil | century the Indian trade was controlled by corporation s. The Hudson Hay company of England , and the Amuflunn Fur company \vero the most important , Joseph LSI FLoscho , sr. , entered tlie employ of the liittor , and made his headquarters among the Omahns , then living uhoro the urosunt town of Homer Htands. He acquired the language nnd trndod with the tribes living botvveen tliu Nebraska and Hntto rivers. ThtiHO included the 1'oncas , OiiuiluiM , lowas , Utos and Paw nees. Jn 1812 : ! his Ron Joseph was born. His mother wns u I'onun , a relntivo of the head chief of the Omahas , tbo well- known Ilig Elk. Tlio Bancroft Journal KU.VH of him : The boy early showed tulent , growing up iu the midst of Indian life nnd lore. From tno tlmo ho was ton years old he accompanied Ills father upon hN trad ing tours , visiting St. Louis , and the various tribes , learning their language , ns well ns the French , nnd becoming voi-hod in trade. When about sixteen years of ngc bis marked capacity won recognition from thu American Fur eomp.my und ho was regularly em ployed in its service until about 1H4H. During this year tbo Omahas wcro removed - moved to the consolidated agency at Hellovuo , Nob. , uud there Joseph La Flo.sche bottled with them. It was during his residence here that the Mormons parsed through Nebraska on their vvtiy to Utah. To meet the de mands of the emigrants Joseph LSI Flcijchc and Logan Fontenollo estab lished n ferry over the Plntto near the present situ of Columbus , and another ferry over the Klkhorn vvliore Fremont now stands. They built the flntboatH , which wore large enough to tnlco over two wagons and teams at a tlmo. These ferries proved lucrative , and after u year or more were puri'luibod bv homo Fjitglihlimon. Later , during Mr. Ln , Flcftcho'h residonoo at Uollovuo ho was for u time clerk to the Iuto Peter A. Surny. Tlio tribal career of Joseph La Flo cho dates from about the your 18-1't. Ho then boernn to seriously Htudy and observe the customs of his tribe , .uul to prepare the way for his entrance into thu chieftainship. It is impossible to Htate these briefly. They are u part of the history of the Omaha tribe , which is strictly organized and ofllcorod , hav ing elaborate and clearly defined bociul and religious rites. Iu accordance with his fulfilled obligutioim , liikon in con nection with his established character for honesty , phy.sical nnd moral cour- npro , nnd self-control , he wns-nwdo chief about 1HII ) , and upon the death of hond chief , Big Elk , in 18r ; i , succeeded to his place. Joseph La Flcscho was the only person Imving any white blood who has been n chief iu the Omaha tribe , While living in Hellovuo ho built him a homo and worked on his farm , gath ering borne of the young won about him/ / und teaching thorn to HOW nnd reap. Ho sent his children to school. His own active nature and his father's in dulgence had prevented his securing the advantages of an education. Later ho realized the mistake und his children all boar testimony to his appreciation of schools. When the Omahas ns a separate tribe made their first treaty in 1834 , selling their hunting grounds and reserving for their future homo the tract known ns the Omaha and Winnebago rotervn- tion , they intended to include-their old village site near Homer. The history of the making of this treaty is full of in terest. Some of its wisest provisions nru duo to the thoughtfulness and pcr- sevorcnco of Head Chief La Flosoho , to whom Indian Commissioner Many- ' penny wrote under date : 41 WASHING ION , March 20 , 1854. Having completed the business which brought you here , 1 dcom it my duty on your dcparturo for your homo to express to you my approbation of your otllcinl conduct uhilo here , und to commend the interest you have shown for the Omaha people. " When the trlbo cuma up to their res ervation in 18-5 < i-7 they built their vil lage of sod lodcos in the ancient form , that of a circleeach vlnn occupying tlio tribal place. The rule v\ns between the mouths of the North und Soutli Lilack- ford creeks. The agency was estab lished upon the old military ro'id , Uu > only highway in those days. The Pros- byturian church erected its mission house on the bluffs ovorlpoking n wldo from where the mills and shops were built Mid waioio. the steamboats landed , bringing tidings o ( tlu < outside world. Towards this locality in 18ft < ) .lo-soph LA Fltwcho led forth ever twenty families and established a new village. Ho built for himselfn largo , frapio houto. made n garden , planted nn orolmrd and opened a farm. The other men built houses nrtrt bridges , nnd took up farms on the bottom where the head men broke for thorn over ono hundred acres. Here the llrst wheat was plnnto.il and \\lntcrthc people hauled tholr crops on the ice to Sioux City. Their children attended the mission school , In the midst of tlu > ir labors and pros- polity the men on rod little for the do- rlsUo immoof "Thomako-bollove white men" given to them by iho oonsoruitlvo Indians. In 1801 , while living at their village. Jos. La Floschp was commissioned leader under n bond of So.tXHl. The iii- adoquao.V o ( thu law to protect the In dian made it irapOJS.Hric' to collect notes duo from white men. Thinand kindred dilllcultics resulted in financial loss and the abandonment of trading. His busi ness experience lud him at times to crlticli-c sharp\ ! the action of men hav ing money dealings with the U'ilw. Tor his defense of his people ho suffered in justice nnd pw-ooution , losing at onetime time his olllc-ial tribal position , which , however , was soon restored to him. His obaorvntion of men nnd events taught himthntif the Indian was toMtir- vlvo in the midst of the incoming civil ization ho must possess his land indi vidually and become a citizen. _ The old organl/.athin of the trlbo was incompatible with thcno demands , and the old customs must yield to the methods of the white race. He therefore - fore urged u | > on the United States government the division of the land into individual facntb , and was the prin cipal mover far the abrogation of chief tainship , getting up a petition lo Hint effect in 1876. four jeais after the fli-ht allotment of land was mado. Tim re markable mine to abolish chieftainship on the part of the man holding by \ u tuo of Indian requirement , the author ity of tlio United States , the ollice ot head chief , in order to hocurothe future good of the people , is characteristic of Joseph La Flesclie. Hi.s ambition trans cended the desire of mere personal hon ors. He belioxed in the truth that grentncstis found only in uiisollish labor to upbuild and avance his fellow mon. It is to his persistent effort that the abolishing of chiefs among the Omnhtts is due. This radical act made it pos sible for the tribe U > abandon many an- oient customs which , if persisted in under tholr changed conditions Inni- dent to the loss of the game , would IIHVO impoverished and injured the people , as well as rotardcd their acceptance of civilisation and citizenship. While ho yet held the position of head chief ho used it lo inflict severe penalties upon those addicted to drunkunnojs and gambling. The results' of Ins vigorous action aie felt to-daj after the lapao of more than twenty years. When the Until allotment was made In ISSo-i for the uurposu of patenting the land Joseph La FlcHUho , true to his character as leader , and in spite of his three-score years , once more led his people forth. Ho left his farm of sixty acres nestled amid the wooded bluff * and singing streams , where he had fought so bravely in behalf of educa tion , industry und Christian living , nnd took u | ) his JliO.lores on tlio un broken prairies , gathering his children nnd friends about him. The railroad passed through his hind but there wcro no other signs bf th6 prosperity vyhlch 10 now everywhere to bo boon. The bottom whore "tho mako-beliovo white men'1 farmed and whore tbo steamboat landed thirty years ago , has long since disappeared on the Missouri river , but the men who worked there dud their children have to-day broken nearly two hundred acres in the Logan valley , which they arc now farming. This'victory for pence , won by Josopn La Floncho'is far greater than his va lient lights tos'ive hispeoplo from their enemies , when by lii valor ho won the name of "In-sta-my-gae , " Iron-Eye. Ho has fallen asleep in the midst ot his 100 ncres-of ripened corn and his tall whont stacks waiting for the tlirosher. Having in his old ngo built him n homo and barn , cultivated 00 acres of land , and lived to take rank among the wliito farmers and to exercise with hla people- the rights belonging to oiti/oitH of tiie United Status. The funeral sor- viuos were conducted by the Hov. Mr. McC'lellnn , of Lyons , according to the forms of the Prosbv torinn church , of which Mr. La Floseno nnd his family are members , and the largo attendance of fricndb and neighbors waa a genuine tribute of i cspect. His loss to two tribe ih great , nnd to other tribes where ho was known and beloved , but his works do live uftor him.
