Hclioes of nn interesting character will bo
heard from the Chilian Incident every day ,
bowing that the United States wiw tn earn
est In its demands for reparation and nn
apology , nnd that war was not improbable at
DUO time. Ono was hoard today. On the
Illth Inst. Senator Paddock received a letter
from General Victor Vlfquam , a native of
Trance , now of Lincoln , Nob. , in which ho
made some valuable suggestions to bo fol
lowed In the event of moro serious trouble
with Chill.
General Vlfqualn said In bU letter ! "The
Pacific Mail Steamship company have in the
buy of Panama , witnln four miles of Pana
ma , nn Island called Nasl. They have com
plete Jurisdiction of it , nnd It la their base of
luppllcs for coal , water and provisions of all
kinds. It is fullv ! 1OJO , miles nearer to
Intilque , Chill , than any of our Pacific posts ,
why not crowd coa ! nnd other stuff on that
( bland ostensibly for the use of the Pacific
Mail company. Our vessels can call there
"on their way uown. If the matter pets to a
fighting point don't forgot mo as ono of the
brigadiers nf the Into war. "
This loiter was referred to Secretary
Dlalno , nnd today a reply wai received from
Acting Secretary of the Nuvy James H.
Soley , to whom the letter was referred by
Secretary lilnluo.
Uenornl Soloy says : "Tho suggestions of
General Vlfquain have boon road with inter
est and should circumstances become-such as
to render It advisable to sucuro a base for
13 supplies for our vessels In the PaclBo the
general's suggestions shall receive dun con
sideration. "

Secretary Poster , In his estimates nf ap
propriations to bo made at once by congress
in order to complete the service for the llscnl

for Indian depredations under the
direction of Assistant Attorney General
Colby in addition to the former appropria
tions : for special attorney and assistants to

It is very probable thut congress will find
a now way around the objections which have
for she years or moro been urged against a
bill permitting the Montana Mineral Hail-
way company to enter the jfcllowstonp
National park about n dozen miles in ttiO
northeast corner to reach Cook City. The
iDost serious objections seem to have been
hacked by opposition railroad companies who
lid , not want to see any ono line bo nblo to
* ay that it was the onlv railroad which
entered the National park. The senate com
mittee on territories has gotten hold of the
question and it proposes to report a hill
making no mention of the Montana Mineral
Railway company or any other corporation ,
but to restore to the public domain what
would bo , were It in rectangular form , a
body of land about eight by ten miles in
Bize. This would place Cook City in public
domain and permit any and all railroads to
go to that city without hindrance. It is be
lieved that such a mousuro will bo accepted
by both houses as it takes railroad favorit
ism out of tbo question. This Is tbo solution
proposed by Senator Saundors.

Senator Squire played a scurvy trick
on Senator John 13. Allen ono time , says
the Spokane ( Wash. ) Spokesman. They
were traveling from Washington , ft
night , and the train .stopped at a station
in Missouri , whore a Inriro. heavy
woman entered the sleeper looking for a
berth.
Squire poked his head out between the
curtains , and seeing the ponderous lady ,
said :
"Madam , the berths are all taken , but
if you wish you can occupy the one jus
under me , whore my little boy is sloop-
in" . "
That was satisfactory to the Missouri
amazon , who removed her shoes and
then swung round into the bunk. Just
about this time the disturbed occupant
attempted to rise to aeo what the intru
sion meant.
"With ono fell swoop of her pnlm she
clapped it squarely over the gentleman's
mouth , uayinir : "There , little boy , don't
speak. Your father said t could sloop
bore. "
Again the "littlo boy" attempted to
rise , and this time ho innnaged to say :
"Madame , I want to tell you that I'm
no boy , "
"Whonreyou , thon'i1"
"Why. I'm Senator Allen from the
state of Washington , " lie exclaimed.
"Oh , Lordl" she yelled , and sprang
up and Uoshod out of the car , exclaim
ing , to the consternation of every one
but Squire , "Oh , Lord ! what would
Hiram say if ho know ? "
"Tho slang phrase 'Ho didn't talk
turkey' is ono of the oldest in use in this
country , " says Manager Al C'nnby in
the Now York Commercial , "and during
a recent trip through the west a relic of
the forty-niners that I discovered in a
small Colorado town gave me the
authentic origin of the line. According
to his story the captain of ono of the
last of the prairie schooners to cross the
Great Divide went shooting in partner
ship \yilh u friendly redskin , the under
standing being that they were to divide
the spoils at the end of the clay.
"Evening came and all the mutual
game bag contained was n turkey and n
crow. Under the circumstances a fair
division seemed to bo out of the ques
tion , but the white man itibistod thut ho
know how it could bo done.
" ' how do do Hi1"
'Ugh , you queried
the tomahawk tosser.
" 'Easy , ' , answered the wily scout.
'You kin have your choice : You take
the crow and I'll take the turkey , or , if
you'd rather , I'll ' take -the turkey and
you can take the crow. '
" 'Ugh , ' sighed the Indian after brief
reflection , ' you no talk turkey to mo a
bit ! ' "

A group of merry commercial travel
ers were seated in the binoking-room ,
when suddenly Bodkins volunteered a
story of u remarkable find he once had.
"When I " commenced
was a young man ,
the irresistible 13 , " 1 was employed in n
large house in the city , and , as usual
with persons of that ago , I fell in love
with a young lady , and in due course of
lime was engaged. About two months
before our marriage was to In Ice place I
was suddently sent to Australia on very
important business , occasioned by the
deutli of ono of the lirni in that country :
I took a nasty and alTecttonnto leave
of my intended , with the promise
to write to each other often.
I was detained somewhat longer
than I expected , but just before I
sailed for homo I bought n handsome
and valuable ring , intending it as a
'coming homo1 present for my sweet
heart. As I was nearing the ohoro nnd
reading the paper which thn pilot had
brought on board , curiously enough mv
oyeloll on the 'marriages , ' and there I
saw an announcement of her marriage
with another a follow I knew very well ,
too which ho enraged mo that in my
passion I throw the ring overboard. A
few days afterwards I was dining at this
very hotel ; linh wan served up , and in
eating it I bit olT something hard , and
what do you suppose it was ? " "Tho
diamond ring ! " exclaimed several.
"No " said the Bodkins
, merry , pre
serving the same gravity , ' 'it was n fish
bone. "

The Washington 1'oat says this is Con
pressman O'Neill's latest : Two evicted
Hibernian tenants are standing near the
roadside , concealed by a thick hcdgo
from passers-by. Each has a double-
barrelled shotgun , loaded with nn extra
charge of buckshot. Tlio weapons are
hold in readiness for the tyrannical land
lord , who is expected logo by every min
ute. Both men crouch there with knit
brows and looks of dogged determina
tion. Murder is in their liearlsund written -
ton in their faces. The minutes creep
like snails ; the man they mean to assas
sinate fails to appear. The pale moon
rlbos slowly and cnsts its beams on the
pair , but yet they wait. Hour after hour
goes by , and when at lust patience gives
out and tiioy decide to wait no longer for
their victim , ono of them , heaving deep
sigh , observes :
"Well. Mike , I hope nothing has hap
pened to him. "

LIXCOLX , Hob. , Jan , 80. [ Special to Tun
Hun. ] A case of moro than usual Interest
and Importance was fllod with the clerk ot
the supreme court today. Attorney General
Hostlngslied an Information In the nature of
quo warrnnto to oust \V. F. Norrls from the
district Judgeshlp in thu Eighth 'district , the
rclator being J. C. Crawford. At the last
election Norrls received a cortlllcato nt oloc-
tlon , ho having received on thu tnco of the
returns a majority of eighty-two votes. The
rclator , Crawford , gives the nnroos of 33'i
Indians of the Omaha and \Vlnnobago tribes
who voted at the election , an'l ho alleges that
their votes nro Illegal and should bo thrown
out.
out.Tbo
Tbo question arising In this cnso Is whether
or not the Indians nro citizens within the In
tent and meaning of the constitution , The
Omuhu and Wlnnobago Indians have neither
abandoned their tribal relations. They are
still living on government reservations and
arc still In charge of the agents appointed by
the preslaont of the United Slates. AccordIng -
Ing to the Information lllod In thocasu by the
attorney general none of tbo Indians woo
voted were electors on the 3d day of Novem
ber , IS'Jl , and were not entitled to vote.
Moro Serious Clmrgrg.
Among otbor grounds upon which Judge
Crawford rests bis cuso Is his assertion that
the judges and clerks of election deliberately
disregarded the provisions of the Australian
ballot law. Ilo alleges that'ln ono precinct
In Cedar county the Judges and clerks of
election all belonged to the farmers alliance
mid all supported the people's independent
ticket , and that on election day they coddled
directly from the polls ballots marked as they
doslrcd to have them voted. Ilo also alleges
that in Thurston county Juago Norrls' name
was designated on the siunplo and oOlcial
ballots as being the "republican and Inde
pendent" candidate , whereas Norris was not
in any manner whatever a candidate of the
ropuollcan party. The same charge Is marto
In regard to tickets In Cumlng county. Tbo
evident Intention was to deceive the voter
and mislead him.
Can the Indians Vote ?
The question as to the right ot an Indian
to veto Is an Interesting ono , and has Deon
Eassod upon by the Nebraska supreme court.
D the case of the state ox rel I1'air against
Frazier ' .tho supreme court held
that in order to establish an
Indian's right to citizenship , and
hence his right to vote at an election in
Nebraska , that it must bo proven that such
Indian was born within the territorial limits
of the United States and that an allotment
of land In fact has boon made to such Indian
by the government of tbo United Stales. In
this case , which was very similar to the
Crawford-Norrls case , Chief Justice Cobb
held , the other I u dees concurring , that none
of the Indians on the Wlnnobago reservation
were entitled to vote under the laws of this
stato.
Itluilo n Break for Liberty.
Milton Hooker is a oiir , burly bad man , and
bo has given the police- enough trouble In the

The Norfolk authorities sent word that they

ingly , yesterday afternoon ho was

morning , when the man was released. Ho
was at once rearrested on another warrant.
Atrer being placed under arrest bo made a
bold dash for liberty and only stopped run
ning when several bullets had been fired
after him. At noon tbo city marshal of Nor
folk arrived with a warrant. While walking
along the street between two officers bo
knocked thorn both down and again at
tempted to escape. After a vigorous chase
for several blocks ho was again recaptured
and triumphantly marched to jail. Ho was
taken to Norfolk this afternoon.

Cincinnati Commercial : "Go away ,
beggar boy , you have no right to look at
our flowers , shouted the gentleman's
son from the garden.
The poor boy's face llusliod with an
ger , and ho was about to invite the
young aristocrat , to como out into the
alloy and have his fnco broken , when a
sweet little girl in n. dainly muslin gown
and a wealth of golden hair sprung liUo
a young fawn out of the arbor and cried
indignantly , "How could you speak so
rudely to the poor liitlo boy , Harold ?
His looking at the flowers will not hurt
them.1' Then turning to the touched
lad' she said tenderly. "Littlo boy , I
will pluck you a nosegay , " an immedi
ately gathering all of n r mother'a most
cherished flowers , she 'passed them
through the railings. ' '
Twenty-five years later the kind littl
girl had reached the ngo-of 17 , nnd had
become tv woman. She had also man
aged to scoop up a husband somewhere
along the inarch. OiiOjbrjght afternoon
while they wore walkftjg in the garden
when ho ought to have ioon tending to
business , she noticed a , ' man in humble
attire , neat but not 'gaudy , loaning
against the railing , and looking intently
at the flowers and herself.
A thought struck hqrbut recovering
quickly from that surprise , she approached
preached the stranger and said :
"Sir , some years since , upon'this spot ,
I gave a little beggar-boy some flowers
with a kind word , which , according , to
all the story books , must hayo ; changed
the course of his whole life and inado
him an honest and upright man through
the influence of that , little deed of
charity. I presume you are that boy ? "
Choking with suppressed emotion ho
replied : ' 'I am dor bloedm' hucklo-
borrv. Is der anyting in it ? "
With tears of pi-ido in her eyes she
turned to her husband.saying : "Seo how
great a reward a little deed of kindness
has brought. Sir , " said she , turning
again , "wo shall be pleased to have you
partake- a slight collation with us. "
"Feed ? " said ho , with inexpressible
emotion "I'll . "

Three Weather Hujs.
St. Paul's dny , the 25th of January , is
the flrst "weather day" of the year
the day by which the character of the
whole year was formerly predicted , says
the Now York Tribune.
If St. Paul's day bo fair and clear
Then will betide a happy year.
But if it chance to snow or rain ,
Then will bo dear all kinds of grain ,
ClouJs on this day foretold mortality
among farm stock , nnd winds were fore
runners of war. The day was a festival ,
at which a fat buck and dee , dokcd
with roses , were yearly presented to the
clergy , especially those of St. Paul's
cathedral , and loaves of bread were
baked having upon them the imago of
St. Paul.
There nro two other "weather days'
which have acquired celebrity ono
Candlemas day , the 2d of February ,
which is still romotnborod by the col
ored people of the south , though no
longer as the festival of the Virgin ,
Jjoing known solely as "Ground-hog
day. " Candlemas day , contrary to St.
Paul's dav , must bodark , and lowery to
bring lucic in weather1. ' A German prov
erb says : "A shepherd would rather see
a wolf enter his stable , than see the sun
on Candlemas day."Tho badger , "
says another European proverb , "peers
out of hit * hole on Cailujcmas day , If ho
finds snow and cloudsho ; walks abroad ;
if the sun is shining , he goes hack into
his hole , and expoctu'llmt half the winter -
tor i to como , nnd more , " The nogros

the ground-hog. lie uouies out of his hole
invariably on the 2d of' February ; if lie
sees his shadow ho remains , hut if the
sun is shining bright , /x'pd / he sees no
shadow , ho goes hack into his hole for a
long winter's snooze. iBt. Switliin's day ,
the 16th of July , is probably the best
Iniown of the three principal "weather-
days" of the year , andthe , familiar story
of the good saint's democracy , and his
deiro to bo buried among the common
people in the churchyard rather than
with the illustrious in the cathedral
nave lias been often repeated. There
nro many good old ladies still who firmly
boliovn that if rain falls on this day
there will bo wet weather for forty days
thereafter ,

Oiu > , Nob. , Jan. 30. ( Special to THE
John C. Morrow , the victim of the assault
on the evening ot December 30 , ' died yester
day morning. As was stated at the time of
the occurrence , ho was found in his barn suf
fering from severe bruises on the head nnd
his , throat partly cut across. The medical
examination nftsrwardj made shows a com
minuted fracture ot two ribs over the heart ,
supposed to have boon caused by the hooli
of his assailant. To the citizens In general
it scorned at first a case of assault for moro
plunder , but the rumors that began to circu
late put another phase on the affair. Many
different stories bavo boon told to account
for the strange affair as the rumors grow.
but few people It any are satisfied that the
truth has all boon told. A few days after
ho was hurt Morrow made a statement to the
county attorney. It his not been made
public , but his friends say It Is In substance
that n man by the name of Thorpe who
worked for a farmer living near Ord , was
accommodated with a small loan by Morrow ,
ho leaving his valise as security. The
loan was paid and the vallso returned In duo
timo.
Un the occasion of his father's sickness ,
some time in the winter of 1SSK ) , Morrow
went to Illinois to see him , and when com
ing back tie mot Thorpe on the train at
Galesburg , 111. Thorpe recalled his former
kindness and said ho wns hard up and
needed a loan again , but could glvo much
bettor security. After some talk Morrow
made him n loan on $10,000 worth o { Uuitod
States bonds. On his return homo ho burled
the bonds forsafo Keeping. Thorpe mot him
on the ovonlntr of November 1 and de
manded the bonds. On Morrow's declining
to deliver them until the amount ho bad
loaned him was returned , ho was violently
assaulted knocked down and roubod of-l ( > r > .
Ho reached homo , not sorlou-ily hurt , but
violently shaken in his nervous system. Ho
was told at that time If ho did not deliver vp
the bonds In thirty days ho , Thorpe , would
return and * lll him. Morrow says there wni
another person with Thorpe whom ho failed
to recognize. ' Shortly after this ho pur
chased a revolver , and on the ovonltie of
the fatal encounter ho had arranged for
Mccso nnd George McDonougb to go with
him and unearth the bonds. A pick and
shovel were laying outside tbo door of the
'
barn when tho'tragody took place , ready for
use that night.
Those , his friends clMm , nro the facts In
the affair , but the mystery is deepened by
their evident doslro to keep the maitor quiet
and their seeming disinclination to insist on
the apprehension of his assailant. At their
request the Ord papers have refrained from
any special comments on the caso. A motion
to offer a reward for the capture nnd convic
tion of his assailant wns made , but voted
down , at the mooting of the county super
visors on January , largely , it is said , be
cause of tholr knowledge of those facts and a
doubt whether they coulil depend on secur
ing a conviction if the would-bo murderer
was caught.
The county coroner has impanelled a jury
: nd an Inquest is In progress. It is rumored
that a day or two before his death ho tnld
the watchers by bis bedside the Hiding place
of the burled bonds and informed them that
ho loft a sealed envelope with a full state
ment of the affair. His mind wandered to
ward the last and bis last efforts at speech
were some uncertain utterances as to the
bonds nnd their hiding placo. It is said
Thorpe was seen nnd recognized in Ord on
the afternoon of the day the assault was
committed ; also that a hand car was hoard
leaving Ord over the Union Pocilic railway
track between the hours of 10 and 1 o'clock
that same ulrfht. It is said Morrow received
an anonymous letter threatening him if cer
tain conditions were not complied with ana
that tne letter Is In tbo possession of his
family. It is said that he was not expecting
danger so soon and tbat bo entered his barn
that fatal night with hU mittens on. Some
say bo was found with ono mitten on , the
other lying on the barn floor some distance
from where bo was knocked down. His
going to tbo barn nt that hour and his
reticence on the occasion of the first nttacic
and silence during his illness provoke * much
doubt as to the truth of his story.

years the custom for tlio county c'.crh , upon
the order of the Hoard of Supervisors , to
mono out warrants in the blank warrant
book nnd to Icavo them there until called
for by the parties to whom drawn , when the
warrant is torn out. l''or several yearn past
many of those warrants roprosontiiiK thou
sands ot dollars.have not boon called for.
Many other persons who supposed that
money was awaiting them were surprised on
Investigating to llnd that there were no war *

that sonio person as yet unknown , removed
those old uncalled for warrants , ranging
from $1 to $ JO tn vnlun from the proper boon ,

warrants stating that bo understood that the
recipient of the loiter had n claim pending
against tbo county nnd that ho was willing
to buy that claim for an amount which gen
