After many weeks Of controversy,
saws the Denver Times, the railroad
question appears to be settled, for we
take it that the suit Will never be heard
OF again except SO far as jurisdiction is
concerned. When the Longmont line
Is completed, no one will he 50 chimer-
ical as to sue for q receiver for the
Denver Pacific. Tue management can
then run the road to suit themselves
and Denver people will not growl.
Mi, Carmichael, freight agent of the
Denver Pacific, has written to the
Union Pacific company inquiring of
them what they desire in the way of
making a through traffic contract for
freight and passengers. On to-day the
fare from Denver to Cheyenne will be
put down to 81, and to local parts in
the same proportion. An immediate
effort will also be made to get coupon
tickets put on the Union Pacific road
between eastern points and Denver,
and also to induce the Union Pacific
company to sell tickets permitting trav-
elers over their line to so to Denver
and return to Cheyenne. Mr.. Carmich'
ael says that 30 far a his department
is concerned, the road Is going to be
made to pay if possible, regardless whose
toes are trodden upon.

Washington, June 30.-The inquiry
into the management of the Indian
Bureau was continued to-day, but the
proceedings were not made public. 1t
is understood that when the fraudulent
oyercharges in the furnishing Of medi-

will be brought by the Attorney Cen
eral, in the name of the United States,
against the druggists and firms in New
York and elsewhere, to recover the diff
ference between the charges made in
their bills and the average market value
of the goods at the time the medicines
were sold to the Indian Bureau.

THE IDAHO INDIAN WAR.
--latest Adv,ces from the Front.

Latest AdviceS from the front.
Portland. Oregon, June 30.-The
latest reports from the scene of the In
dian outbreak are that a tribe known
AS the River Snakes have killed John
Richie, of Mount Idaho. The Ceour
D'Alenes, who have thus far observed
their promises of good behavior, are
reported to be in pursuit of the muir
derers.
1t Is reported that the Clearwater
Indians, under Looking-Glass, have
turned loose and plundered Geo. Demp.
ster's place, between the middle and
south forks of the Clearwater, and
driven off all the stock of the settlers
| found between these forks, and have it
at their camp about six miles above
Kaniah. This confirms jim Lawyers
statement, made in the Indian council
yesterday at Lapwai, as to the pur-
poses of Looking-Glass and his forty
men. These Indians told two China
men, on the Clearwater, that they had
declared war against the whites, and
would commence their raids upon the
inhabitants within two days. When
| this news reached Mount Idaho a force
of twenty volunteers started immedi-
ately for the Clearwater, hut no news
| has come from them. Gen. Howard wfs
notified, and said that he would send a
detachment Of regulars to scour the
| country in that direction.
This morning the volunteers who
were In the fight on White Bird. saw
an Indian who went out as one OF the
| friendly Indians with Col. Perry, from
Lapwai, beckon for the hostiles to
come forward in the fight, and saw
other movements of some of the friend
ly Indians, evincing their sympathy
with the hostiles, during the fight.
There Is a report, which lacks confir-
nation, to the effect that Gen. Howard
had attacked Joseph and dislodged him
from Horseshoe ridge.
A Boise City dispatch mentions that
there are indications of the presence of
hostiles in Weiser valley. The settlers
are leaving for a place of safety. The
grain fields, orchards and gardens are
abandoned and being destroyed by the
stock.

THE RIVAL E s.
Harvard Wins the Race After 3 Close
Contest.

Contest.
Springfield, June 30.-At 1851 the
race began, Harvard working fair
", with 81 strokes to the minute, while
Yale spurted off with %, increasing 10
50. The latter crew, on starting out,
did not pull with the scientific precision
of the Harvards, who took the lead,
passing the first mile a length ahead
This was just opposite state street, n
the enthusiasm on the bank was I'M
mense. Yale had now settled down to
work and was striving to close up the
gap, while Harvard was working to
TO keep and increase her lead.
At the second mile Harvard led by %
boats length and u half. Both crews
here pulled in towards the west shore
to avoid the heavy waves which at this
point were very high. At the third
mile Harvard held her own, while
Yale was saving her strength for the
final squirt.
The struggle in the fourth and last
mile was one of the finest ever wit
messed between college crews. Almost
side by side the crews sped down the
course, each man pulling for his very
life.
AS tItty dIDtpdtANd u hhiS thO
enthusiasm of the crowd knew no
bounds and the air was filed with the
cheers of the rival colleges. The
Harvard men were fairly beside them
selves with Joy ut the prospect of win
ping the honors withheld for the last
few years, and the Yale men were
cheering on their crew, who were MAX
ing almost superhuman efforts to squirt
ahead or to make the race at least II
d ,ad heat; but it was impossible, and
Harvard passed the finish one length
ahead. Both crews then pulled up to
the referees boat to hear his decision;
afterwards the winning crew pulled
leisureiy back to their boat-house,
Yale going back on their launch with,
their shell in tow.
The victory of Harvard ~contradlcts
the theory that age gives victory.

At this my temper rose, and I an
swered him plainly that he might

dismissed, but after all that had oc-
cured in this campaign, neither he
nor any other man could disgrace me ;
and being by this time pretty well
stirred up, said that under like cir

same thing again.
Instead of being more angry, the
General was rather softened by this
speech.

said, in saying that would disgrace

You are brave man, and disgrace is

her blue eyes, and after the mother
had thanked the General for their
preservation with fearful eyes and
trembling voice, the girl seized his
hands, wept over them, called him her

OF heaven on his head.
Scott looked from her to me with .

BY MARY AINaE DE WE'RE.
My letters late by one day,
But the truth is, Jenny dear,
Ned Grayson Cline on Sunday
1t seems he always here.
He, and young Fred M'Kenzie,
They staid three blessed hours,
And ma was in frenzy
He brought some lovely flowers.
| meant to tell you, Jenny,
The news and everything,
hut [ find there isn't any
Oh, next week, Ned's to sing
With the Mozart Club at Irving;
III manage, dear, to 60,
Tho Fates and weather serving,-
don't want m1 to know!
Jen, lovers are nuisance T!
George brought the ring last night
A solitaire, like Susan's
1t gave me such fright
/ cried and wouldn't wear it;
How, underneath the sun,
Do girls contrivc to bear it
This narrowing down to one /?
Poor George, tho foolish fellow,
Began to storm and fling.
And turned quite green and yellow
l hate that sort of thing.
Now, Ned is always quiet;
| think his cool, gray eye,
Would still an Irish riot,
Or make a regiment fly.
But what's 80 very funny
About him, Ned, I mean,-
He hasn't any money;
Iheard from Clarence Green
Just how he's situated
Keeps books for Webb & Ware.
All, well-those things are fated
George owns million. square.
Yes, dear, Fate trims the corners,
Rough-hew them as we may
We can't go clad like mourners,
Or weep the livelong day.
But, oh, don't breathe it, Jenny
I'd marry Ned, you see,
Without single penny,
II only he loved me
All, Observation-Disclosures folly,
But sometimes, Jen, I've thought,
He, too, seemed melancholy;
Quick giances that I've caught,
Looked full Of epeechless sadness
There goes silly tear,
10 blot the page-what madness
Goodbye. pet, George is here.
We dine at Ella Johnson's.
PSI must decide,
He won't stand too much nonsense.
The crepe comes full yard wide.
Don't get the buff, it fades so;
Have train and split.up sacque,
For orpandiea are made so
My heart aches. Love to Jack.

Only baby,
Kissed and caressed,
Gently held to mothers breast.
Only child,
Toddling alone,
Frightening now its happy home.
Only boy,
Trudging to school
Governed now by sterner rule.
Only youth,
Living in dreams;
Full of promise life now seems.
Only man,
Battling with life,
Shared in now by loving wife.
Only father,
Burdencd with care,
Silver threads in dark-brown hair.
Only a graybeard,

Growing old and full of pain.
Only mound,

Dreams unrealzed-rest at last.
