Found Dylni ; By the Ilondniilc.
BI.AIII , Nob. , August 80. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BBK. ] A young fellow by the
name of Ames left a low dance In Dog town ,
n suburb of Blair , this morning about 3
o'clock In company with n somewhat tough
crowd. On reaching Janscn's place , omo
three miles southwest of Blair , where ho
says some vicious dogs are kept , ho got
out of the wagon with the crowd for the
purpose of shooting them. The party drove
on , but not nccing nor hearing him for some
time ono of them returned to seek him.
Ha found him lying in a cornfield with n
bullet in his head , Ames says that thu shoot
ing was accidental , but the mark of the bar
rel being on his forehead , some unpleasant
circumstances at tha dance gave rise to a
suspicion of suicide. Ho was brought to
town and put under the caioof Dr. Bcdal ,
in whoso store ho now lies in n precarious
condition. The ball has not been extracted ,
but Its course has been traced fromulittlo
to the right of the center of the forehead to
the base of the skull.
Used n Shotgun.
AiNflwoiiTii , Nob. , August 80. Considera
ble excitement prevails bora on account of a
shooting scrape which took place Wednesday
night at 13 o'clock. The parties to the shootIng -
Ing were Emory Slayton nnd Dwyer Crum.
It seems that Slayton's sister-in-law , a loose
character , is stopping nt Slayton's house ,
and Crum and another party attempted to
get Into the house or were near for. as Slay-
ton says , immoral purposes. Slayton opened
flro upon them with a doubla-barrclcd shot
gun , discharging both barrels , ono of which
took effect In Crurn's arm and body , making
an 'ugly wound , which Is dangerous. Thn
shooting creates considerable excitement and
opinion is divided. Slayton has been ar
rested und will bo tried Monday.

Day ts just breaking In tbo valley. The gray
Hrcak which lines the bluffs is broadening
mm n narrow bnnd Into a sheet ol light
which moment by moment Increases In
vuUli. As wo throw buck the flaps of the
cnt and step out yuwningly into the open
space which divides the n ill cars' line from
the company streets In the Ninth cavalry
camp , scarcely a sound breaks the stillness
of dawn. A colored sentinel with carblno
on shoulder slowly tramps along the path
worn dusty by a week's travel. An occa
sional stamp from the region of the stablb
picket line shows Unit the troop horses are
there and uwako. Savon miles eastward rod
pencils of light are touching up the battle
ments of Red Crow Butte mid changing Its
glowering crags and pinnacles Into crests of
ivlng ilamo which run up and .down the
butto's sides und spread along its grizzly
front until the great mass of clay and sandstone -
stone Is illuminated with all the changing
colors of the kaleidoscope and stands ro-
vcalcd In its rosy background Ilka ouo of
Blordstadt'ft great masterpieces of western
scenery. As the car of Aurora comes rap
idly down the valley with its attendant
nyniuhs of the hours the dark curtahi of
night rolls backward o'er the hill ana bluffs
and the great silent camp stands reVealed in.
the first blush of dawn.
Silent for an instant , but then silent no
longer.
A moment's pause , and then the oloar
notes of a trumpet sound with startling dis
tinctness from the Eighth infantry line the
opening hars of rovcillo :
1 'Ta-ra-tara-ra , ' ' ' ra-tara-ra"
"I can't get them up ,
"I can't got them up ,
"I can't got them up in the morning. "
A colored trooper before uio steps into the
open and repeals tbo strain , which is taken
up by seven commands , scattered through
the valley , until the entire camp rings and
the bluffs awaken with the rattling measures
of the opening of oQlciul day.
King James' bugle , on the shore of Loch
Katrine , never made such n startling meta
morphosis. The great camp turns over in
its sleep , yawns , stretches and awakens.
Men emerge hulf-dressed from tents , cooks
busy themselves around camp kettles , there
is a sound of axes and of crackling fires and
a gathering of colored troopers Jn the com
pany streets. On the oflicers' line a dozen
tents open , and as "assembly" sounds for
first roll-call and the cavalrymen fall into
line before the first sergeants , ono would
find it diOlcult to comprehend that the busy ,
ahvo , rushing camp which presents itself
was ten minutes ago wrapped in slumber.
Stable call rings out , and in a few
moments five hundred men are watering ,
grooming and feeding their chargers. The
cavalry horse must bo fed before his rider
und his care takes up much of the time of the
trooper. In addition to ail the duties
of a dismounted soldier , the cavalry
man has his horse and Its accoutrements to
look after and a snbro and a revolver to
handle bCHidcshls carbine. While ho marches
mounted , ho pavs dearly for the privilege in
the added work of "stables" and the increased -
creased elbow grease needed to keep his
sabre polished and his revolver clean.
Will the trumpets never stop ringing

Sick call has sounded and is followed , by
another variation or two. while n hurried
breakfast is being partaken of on officers'
row and in quarters. Colored orderlies are
now seen saddling up horses ns tbo call of
"Boots and saddles" rings out and mingles
with drill call in other camps of infantry und
artillery. Out from his tent in the roar ol
line steps Major Raudlott , at present tem
porarily commanding the regiment , booted
and spurred , with his sabra chains rattling
and his spurs playing tattoo on the sward.
His grey slouch hut covers the head of one
of the best cavalrymen In the army and ono
of the most popular ofilcors in his .branch ol
the service. The adjutant lieutenant , W.

Five hundred colored troopers throw their

An equal number of swarthy bodies swlnp
into the saddles as the command , "Form

the company to the battalion _ „ parade
grounds , with sabres rattling and. , spun
clinking cheerfully. ,
A moment or two later the battalion ad'
juants ( have turned thorn over to Captains
Parker , Loud and Cusack , the Battalion
commanders , the bays of Captain Cusnck on
the right and the greys of C.uitiiin Garrord'fi
troop on the loft. There Is a halt , but only
for a moment. The troops suddenly wheel
to the right und break Into/ / column platoom
as they march to the regimental parade
grounds and face Major Randlett and hie
adjutant , who are awaiting thorn on the
crest of the hill , sixty yards distant. It Is r
pretty scene as the nitio troops of colorec
cavalrymen , formed in platoon columns ,
await the opening command , The only'mo
tion visible is from the scarlet ana white
guidons which flutter from the ranks. Five
hundred bronzed horseman sit their mounts
like ebony centaurs. The parallel linoa ol
platoons are as evenly spaced as the rows ol
an Ohio cornfield nnd the homos are ns mo
tionless. There has been hard work bj
troop commanders , hard work by men and
long drill of horses to affect such ir result.
Watch the battalions now break into col
umns of fours und then form in two lines on
the right. The sharp command of the major
the warning note of the trumpet , the re
spousivo orders of the ofilcors of battalion :
and tno hoarse calls of the sergeants seen
almost simultaneous with the swift whirl o :
horses nnd riders , with onangmg lines at
straight us If backed by steel rods , with In
torlaciug of turn utul steeds , which in t
second untangle themselves into symmetry
und grace and orderly progression. How

glistening with perspiration , each trooi

How splendidly the men rldol With wha :
precision the order , "Fours loft. Hoar bat
talions left front into line , " Is executed. Tin
simultaneous wing , tbo perfect distances
the wheeling of fours with the left trooper i
pivot , around which the other three uppar
eutly revolve for a moment , looks more like
machinery than the brain directed move

Once more the trumpet calls ring out. Tin

AVtth Celestial
NEW YOUR , August 80. Thoro' was a * fam
ily row in Harlem tp-duy.in which the late
anti-Chlnoso bill was the main factor , and
Ah Chung , a young und prosperous laundryman -
man , was the participant. Five years
ago Ah Chung , then a mere boy of
fourteen , was betrothed to the pretty thir
teen-year-old daughter of a well-to-do neigh
bor. Ah Chung told his prospective
bride's relatives that ho was going to visit
his father , who was then in San Francisco
keeping a laundry , and'that ' ho would return
In two or three years to get married. Soon
after Chung's arrival at the Golden Gate
his father sold out .his washing business ,
nnd the two came to New York , where they
started a laundry on Third avenue , near
Seventy-second street , nnd recently ro-
movcu further up in Harlem , where the
fa thcr and son are making a good living.
In the meantime Chung's father-in-law and
mother-in-law in Chinn-aro
- - kicking fiercely
bo cause Chung has not ' Kept his promise of
becoming their actual son-in law. Besides.
the daughter , who is 'now a full grown and
handsome young lady , threatens dire ven
geance an both families by committing snlf-
destruction unless her early betrothed should
come over to her and apologize by becoming
her husband forthwith. The crisis arrived
this evening when an important messenger
in the person of the anxious-to-gct-niarried
girl's uncle , who is also a New York laundryman -
man , appeared at Ah Chung's wush-houso.
Ho held In his hand a voluminous docu
ment , said to be an ultimatum from the irate
Chinese futher-in-law at Canton. It con
tained the important' information that Ah
Chung must either go to China immcdietely
or withdraw his claim to the young woman
in question und pay damages to the tune of
tno price of several laundries for Keeping her
waiting for him so long. Chung's old father
was willing to lot his boy go to his "doom"
by going to China M get married , ' but Chung
was not so willing.
"Wha she matter mv gq homo jush now , "
exclaimed the troubled youth. "You link
my likeo mnllio ono piece nlceo young lady
loosco my shtay in Mallca no more can comeback
back here ? No , no.Mo * no go Just now ,
tbleoycar moro. "
"Wo will make you go , " said the angry
father and the girl's uncle' the same time.
"You sphoso makoo too muctico fooloo mo.
-Mo holler for polls. Mo lun away und by and
by malleo Malican girl raoro beautoo China
girl , " answered the yoan'g Chinaman good-
naturedly , in half English and half Chinese.
"Hut , " suld the father , "they will betroth
the girl who Is your own pjetty wife to some
other follow , ahd they won't wait any three
years more , nor a yoarv either. "
"I don't care , no belong my pigeon ,
Mo love Mollcan girl raoro bettor all yound
lady in China. You > ii co him law ; mo
can ccmo buck , I go hotae. No flxoo law
no homo. "
Unhappily this is notJtUo only case In
which Chinamen are In this , peculiar predica

There are- scores , If not hundreds , of young
Chinamen now in Now York who are anx
ious to go homo to got , married to their
youthful spouses , but for fear of not
being able to come , back they take
their chances of loslnff their brides
rather than give up the , chances ot living in
America , where , they nay , are not only
bettor places to make a living , but they
rather enjoy the peuullar.lifo of the people.
Those Chinamen who \\cro. fortunate enough
to return before tbo passage of the now bill
say that after living in America so long life
in China is unbearable to them , owing to Its
dullness , poverty-stricken appearance and
the general monotony of life. Many sav they
would rather lose Clilria than the United

slights here.

Whv They Danoitnuptt Clnrkson.
CKDAU RXi-ms , la. , August SO , The llttlo
town of Strawberry Point Is in a state of
considerable excitement over the postoftlco
appointment at taat place. Peter Keith , the
present democratic Incumbent , was an old
soldier in the Sixth Iowa cavalry. Ho served
Ills time honorably and. is uot in good finan
cial clrcinuistanccs. There were two candi
dates for the position , both old soldiers. Gil
bert Cooloy's petition wai signed by at , least
three-fourths of the patrons of the ofilee. He
was a'lioutonant in Company D , Twenty-first
Iowa Infantry , served three year and was
honorably discharged. Ho IB now over fifty
years of ago , and does not draw a pension.
Ho is not in good circumstances and needs
the office.
Benjamin Gaylord's petition hud about all
the remainder of the patrons of the office.
Ho was terribly wounded in battle , served
gallantly and was discharged on account of
wounds received. Ho gets a small peusion ,
but is not in good circumstances.
Cooley and Gaylord la their petitions did
not ask for the removal of iCelth until his
term expired , as ho was also an old soldier ,
and they said as no man was rejected from
the army because ho was u democrat , they
would not ask tbat be be discharged from
tbo postofflco before the time for which ho
was'appomtcd was passed.
There is an old man nearly.soventy years
of ago here named H. H. Scolield who , prior
to the present postmaster's ' appointment , had
hold the office for seventeen years. Ho had
always taken a great interest in the Dos
Moines Weekly Register , soliciting subscrip
tions for it. The last Register shows that
ho has sent in saven orders thus far this fall ,
amounting to 133 subscriptions. Cooley and
Gaylord , and all their friends , not only sub
scribed but assisted Scolield in * securing sub
scriptions because ho was a decrepit old
man. Tno people were astonished to find
that Clarkson hud appointed the old man
Scolield to the postoffice. Congressman
Sweeney claims that ho recommended
the appointment of Cooley , but
that Clnrkson asked him to
permit him to make the appointment at that
place. Scoflola was uot in the army. Ho is
a man of moderate circumstances und is too
feeble to'attond TO the duties of the office
personally. The patrons of the office are
very bitter in their denunciation of Clark
son's course , declaring that he Ignored the
old soldiers and the wishes of the patrons
of the office und appointed Scofield simply
because ho had been working up a list o *
subscribers for damson's paper. A protest
was immediately telegraphed to Postmaster-
General Wnnamakor. and a remonstrance
unanimously signed has been forwarded to
headquarters. The Clayton county veterans
held u reunion ana passed resolutions de
nouncing Clurkson's action , What the out
come will bo is not known.

Thomas II. Miller , who is contesting n scat
In congress from the Seventh South Carolina
lina district , furnishes In his brief u very In-
tarosttng nnd instructive account of the
manner in which election frauds nro still
practiced in South Carolina , As every ono
knows who knows anything nt all of the sit- *
uatloh there , the Seventh ts the district
which was cut out especially for the
colored population. It has n preponderance
of blacks over whites of moro than ton to
ono nnd is so shaped that it Joins up to
almost every other district In the stato. No
attempt whatever was made when tlio state
was gerrymandered to comply with the
xjnns of the law , which required continuity
of territory. The sola aim was to Incor
porate as many of the black republican votes
ns possible In this ono district In order that
the rest of the state might ba manipulated
moro easily. Thlssuhomo , In short , was to ofc
Blxdniiiocratiocongrossinen to ono republican
from the stuto of South Carolina lu the no
tional house of representatives. Right after
the gerrymander Smalls was elected. Ho
should have bean permitted to take his scat
at the llrst session of the Fortv-Hovonth con
gress , hut ha was deprived of that seat until
lust before the closing days of the session In
July , IBS'J. A very brazen attempt was inndo
to deprive him of his election to the Forty-
ninth congress , and uftcr the Fiftieth con.
gross was elected It was given out that
Smalls would not again como ns a
representative of the great state of South
Carolina ana ho did not. Ho was elected
by something llko twenty thousand majority
and yet thu scat was given to KHiott. The
democratic majority in the house refused to
consider thu case in thu last congress , und
therefore Smalls was never allowed to oc
cupy the scat to which ho was Justly enti
tled. In 1SSS Smalls did not run , and Miller ,
who decided to contest for thu election with
Elliott , was counted out as usunl.
Mr. Miller shows that In ninny
of the precincts of the stiouidy
republican counties the democratic manat'era
of election absolutely refused to attend to
business , und thoraforo there wore no polls
open. In ono place there wore 205 men who
were prepared to cast their ballots for Mil
ler , and in another 310. They had ull been
registered and all the election laws had been ,
compiled with us far us they were concerned ,
but not ono of the 575 was permitted to drop
his ballot Into the box. In an
other county 205 rcpbullcuu voters
found their ballots arbitrarily rejected by
the democratic managers on various flimsy
pretexts. The same old story of stufnifg" a
ballot box full of democratic ballots where
there was originally almost n solid repub
lican vote cast , und then mixing thorn up and
drawing out the excess , tho/oby depriving
hundreds of republicans of their suffrageii ,
was resorted to in no loss than eight pre
cincts in three counties , The brief saya'that
Miller's vote Instead of bcinir 7.003 , as re
turned by the state board , was at least 0,5'Jl ,
and that Elliott's vote , instead of being
85S , ! ! , would not exceed 7,03(5 , oven after all
the frauds were allowed for. Thcro Is llttlo
doubt that Mr. Miller will bo permitted to
occupy the scut , and some interesting dis
cussions in regard to the registration of the
southern democrats uro expected.
AN IXCBNTlVi : TO OATOH MAIL UOIIUKHS.
Some time uco attention was directed la
these dispatches to the fact that the mail
robbers were difllcult to capture because of
the fact that the government offers no in
ducements to the cow boys and others in the
vicinity of the depredations to risk their
lives or limbs in apprehending these scoun
drels. Heretofore the entire reward offered
in such cases amounted to only $ ZO ) , nnd this *
was not sufficient attraction to Induce any
one to put himself at much trouble to
aid the government In suppressing the
knights of tlio road. The recent robbery in
Montana have attracted the attention of the
chief of the special iigonts of Iho postofllco
department to the utter inadequacy of the
reward , und ho immediately recommended
that the postmaster generalmuko natter pro
visions for protecting the mails in the
sparsely settled portions of the country. In
response to this suggestion Postmaster Gen
eral VVnntimaker yesterday issued an order
offering § 1,000 reward instead of $200 , for the
apprehension of any person found
guilty of making an anna. ! attack upon a
stugn couch or railway mull car having the
mulls in transit. It Is believed that this
larger reward , together with the rewards al
ready offered by thu express companies , will
have the desired elTcct of suppressing mall
robberies.
