"The Ruling Passion strong In Death"

Neighbor c. and his son visited the city Of
r., and while there purchased an empty mo-
lasses hogshsad, to be filled with cider from
his press. Their wagon was an old-fashioned
structure, the seat Of which was supported on
stills, not attached to the wagon. The cask
was placed on end, in the hinder part OF the
vehicle, the stills elevated and pushed forward
to make room for the cider cask just before
reaching home. while descending very steep
hill, the cask pressed so strongly against the
seat. that it topplsd over, sending father and
son to the ground 1t is necessary to inform
the reader that neighbor C. was careful to fill
little pocket "demon" with the "critter,"
which he placed safely in the breast pocket
of his overcoat, the merits of which he in
tended to discuss after reaching home. 1t is
probable, however, that the temptation was
% strong, he tested its potency while on the
road. Sad to relate, when he fell from the
wagon he struck upon his side, which smashed
the bottle into fragments. Although lame,

Omaha, 20. An official telegram from
Fort Laramie says that the condition of In.
dian affairs is unsettled and unsatisfactory at
the agency. The good Indians seems to have
been corrupted and are leaving for the north
to join the hostile bands. 1t is reported that
the beef contractors have stopped supplying
beef, being afraid to drive cattle through the
reservation. There seems to be no doubt
but that the column of troops now at Fort
Laramie will enter the reservation from that
point. 1t is thought they will meet with some
opposition. No trouble with the Indians is
probable. South of the Platte in Wyoming
Territory, Nebraska, is too far removed to be
thought of in connection with the Indians.
There is not one in the State but what is
