THE WAX TITS DONE.

In the Standard Of the 9th and Or
egonian of the 10th is full account of
the fight of the 4th and 9Th claimed to
be special kilograms to these papers and
no credit given to any other journal.
1t is all embracing more than column
in each of these papers the language Of
the TELLER extra of July 7th. We
wrote the account from MorrilPs state
ments made to us in our office. Morrill,
was an eye witness. We sent one Of
these extras to the telegraph Office ut
Walla Walla and one to the telegraph
Office at Wallula. The telegraph oper-
ator either sent the matter over the
wires without giving US credit, else
these journals were anxious to induce
the public to believe that their CORES
poplents who are at the front furnish
cdtke information. We like to accom-
odatd both the telegraph Offices and the
press with the news early for the bcnc-
fit of the public, but as W. get no pay
from either, we like to have tn, credit
due to us. The Boise Statesman has
published any amount of matter con-
neeted with this war as special dis
patches to the Statesman every SEN
tence of which was composed by US and
published in extras ofTHE TELLER, aud
yet the Statesman of the 10th has the
etirontery to attempt to lie US out Of the
fact. Such is the Statesman venality.
1t is true that when the news of the
outbreak first reached Lewiston on the
18th at I p. NJ, our Saturdays edition
of the 10th was worked off and our
mails made up, but before the mail left
on Saturday morning of the 10th, and
within "A hours after the killing Of
Norton 60 miles distant from Lewiston
and within sixteen hours from the time
the Mt. Idaho boys who first made the
discovery, learned Of the killing, we had
the account of the killing issued in
TELLER extra, and when the mail and
express left Lewiston at 5 A. NJ. we
sent an extra to each Of our exchanges,
the Statesman included, enclosed in
letter envelope, also one to the tcle-
graph operator at Walla Walla and yet
the following is the shameless audacity
and arrogant claim of the Statesman: !:
1.-THE Lewiston TELLER ofJune 10th, pub
lished within 40 miles Of the scene of In
dian murders committed on the l4th, con-
:ained no intimation of any trouble. II
any one on that day had told the editor
that en- Indian war was imminent, he would
have secuted the idea as a ruse to keep i'm
migrants out of North Idaho. The States-
man of the 10th contained telegraphic ac-
counts OF the massacre before they appear
ed in the San Francisco dailies and in time
| to reach its readers in North Idaho before
THE YELLER knew that there had been an
outbreak"
The impudence of such Journalist
would induce him to "steal cents from q
dead mans eyes"

DURING the past summer school in
district in the town of Ira, Cayuga
N. Y, was attended by the teacher
without a single scholar being present.
The teacher, young lady who lives
near the school-house, was hired by the
trustees against the wishes of the people
generally in the district, and they re-
fused to send their children. The father
of the teacher compelled his daughter to
go to the school-house five days in
week, and stay there the required num-
Der of hours each day. The young lady
complied with her fathers demand, and
during the entire Is weeks was the sole
occupant of the desolate school-edifce.
At the end of the term her wages were
collected.

Arctic Cold.

When snow becomes hard as rock, its
surface takes a granular consistence like
sugar. When it lies with its massive
wreaths frozen in the form of pillows
our steps resound, as we walk over them,
with the sound of drum. The ice is so
hard that it emits aringing sound; wood
becomes wonderfully hard, splits, and is
as difficult to cut as bone; butter be-
comes like stone; meat must be split,
and mercury may be fired as bullet
from gun. If cold thus acts on things
without life, how much more must it in
fuence living organisms and the power
of mans will! Cold lowers the beat of
the pulse, weakens the bodily sensa-
tons, diminishes the capacity of move
ment and of enduring great fatigue.
Of all the senses, taste and smell most
lose their force and pungency, the
mucous membrane being in constant
state of congestion and excessive
secretion. After time decrease
of muscular power is also percepti-
BILE. If one is exposed suddenly to
an excessive degree Of cold, involun-
tarily one shuts the mouth and breathes
through the nose; the cold air seems at
first to pinch and pierce the organs OF
respiration. The eyelids freeze even in
calm weather; and to prevent their clos
ing, we have constantly to clear them
from ice, and the beard alone is less
frozen than other parts of the body, be-
cause the breath as it issues from the
mouth falls down as snow. Snow-spec-
tacles are ,dimmed by the moisture of
the eyes, and when the thermometer
falls 81 degrees (C) below zero they are
as opaque as frost-covered windows.
The cold, however, is most painfully
felt in the soles of the feet when there
is cessation of exercise. Nervous
weakness, torpor, and drowsiness fol-
low, which explains the connection
which is usually found between resting
and freezing. The most important
point, in fact, for sledge party, which
has such exertions to make at very
low temperature, is to stand still as lit
tie as possible. The excessive cold
which is felt in the soles of the feet DUR
ing the MONDAY rest is the main reason
why afternoon marches make such de-
mand on the moral power. Great cold
also alters the character of the excre-
tons, thickens the blood, and increases
the need of nourishment from the in
creased expenditure of carbon. And
while perspiration ceases entirely the Sc
erection of the mucous membranes of the
nose and the eyes is permanently in
creased, and the urine assumes almost a
deep red color. At first the bowels are
much confined, a state which, after con-
tinuing for five and sometimes eight
days passes into diarrhea. The bleach
ing of the beard under these influences
is a curious fact.-1hs Lands WIthin

THE CAPTAINS DOG STORY. PIC
There was q dog in Dublin who be-
lieyed in the Cunard line. That dog
knew the whistle of the jackass-steamer
which lowed the Cunarders into dock.
Whenever that particular whistle blew
he would hear it and recognize it, no
matter if itwas amile away. He would
quit whatever he was about, whether it
was nap or a light, and make for the
harbor. Well, every body on the line
rot to know him, and every cook felt
bound to give him a bone. Well, that
was what he expected, and what kept
I'D his interest.v He was just stock
holder, you see, looking sharp after his
dividends. But at last he met most
extraordinary fate, such as no other dog
ever did meet, to the best of my knowl-
edge and belief. He had just got his
regular ration when another dog, a
much bigger beast, pitched into him,
cave him most fearful hauling, and
took away his dividend. Now, what do
YOU suppose that dog did? You can't
imagine. He hobbled straight down to
the dock. and jumped in and drowned
himself. lisa solemn fact, upon honor.
He was dog of great intelligence and
high Irish feeling. When he got licked
on the Cunard dock, and lost his
Cunsrd bone besides, he couldn't want
to live any longer, and he just commit
