once aroused by the sight Of three or
four old men standing around with their

replied, when they told him that they
hadn't had any work for q MONTH
"How would you like some oysters?"
They smackcd their lips by way OF
reply. and he gathered up a crowd of
eight, marched them to restaurant and
ordered an oyster stew for each one.
1T just does my soul good to see them

as the eight got 70 work.
Yes, it's beautiful sight," was the
reply.

tinaed the stranger, laying his hand on
his heart.
"A good deed brings its own reward"
was the soft answer OF the restaur ateur,
as he calculated his profits.
II can't rest here. 1 must do further
good" said the big hearted stranger
and he rushed out and brought in three
negroes, chimney sweep. two boys and
an old woman and ordered more oy sters.
The fifteen people went for oyster
soup in manner to amaze, and their
guardian nudged tho restaurateur in the
ribs and said:
"See the gentle lambs, Oh, that
could feed the poor OF al! Americas"
"You arc good man. and heaven will
reward you," replied the proprietor, as
he filled the dishes up again.
The stranger said he wanted TO bring
in just five more, 80 as TO say that he
had fed an even score, and he rushed
out after them, while the rcstaurateur
sent after more oysters and crackers
The stranger didn't return. He was
last seen climbing into farmers sleigh
on State street, and guiding his team to
the west. The fifteen in the restaurant
licked their plates clean and departed
in Joyful procession, and the last one
had passed out before the man who fur.
nished the soup had got through waiting
for the return OF the g.hearted stran.

Ten were killed in Senorita valley on the 4th

Stafford has sent message to the Legislature
recounting the depredations and murders

ner in which military operations are being
conducted, the troops moving slowly with
heavy trains, and unable to reach the enemy.
He recommends the Legislature to memorial

Quoted the last six months the whole army of

many Indian auxiliaries could accomplish the

that, under the present condition OF affairs
southeastern Arizona must be abandoned by
settlers, and the success of the hostiles is
liable to induce an outbreak among the res
ervation Indians, resulting in general war.

FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS-.
Proceedings of the Second Sessio

frOcceO1nSS Oh the SeCOn0 SeSSlO
Senator West, on the 5th, explained
the letter read by him before the House priv
ilege committee, in which million OF money
was referred to. He said the letter referred to
his own reelection as Senator, and that he
referred to the million in the same sense as
the press speaks OF barrel OF money. He re-
tuted the story that Maddox was empowered
by Gov. Wells to sell out the electoral vote OF
Loulslsna No business was done, and the
Senate adjourned.
Nothing was done by the House, on
the 9Th.
Senator Allison, on the 9th, reported
the Indian appropriation bill, which is much
reduced. The committee on public lands,
reported favorably on the bill tor the relief of
settlers on the public lands under the pre-.
emption law, and it was passed and sent to
the House. Senator Window, from the
committee on appropriations, reported ad-
jetties $5OO,0OO. Considerable other bust
ness was touched upon, but nothing else was
completed.
Nothing worthy Of note was done in
the House.
The work Of the Senate on the eth
inst, was OF a very unconnected character,
resulting in nothing worthy of especial note
The bill to allow Indians to become citizens
was placed on the calendar. A new confer
CHIC COuuultIcc WAS appointed Oh 1aSL mails
and the Thanking privilege. The committee
on claims reported adversely to re-opening
claims OF the war OF 1912. The printing bill
was called up by MIR. Window, but without
action the Senale adjourned.
The House held short session on
the 9TH, in which the deficiency bill for Gov
eminent printing was discussed, and an
amendment was adopted providing that the
wages of printers OH Government work shall
be the same as paid in other eastern cities.
No other business was done, except to discuss
the deficiency appropriation bill in commit
tee of the whole, and the House adjourned.
A bill was introduced in the Senate,
on the 9th ,appropriating money fer coloniz-
ing expedition to the Arctic seas. Resolu-
tions OF the Kansas horticultural Society
were presented asking for aid in preventing
the destruction caused by the locust. A
lengthy discussion was had on the bill amend
ing the Pacific railroad acts and creating a
sinking fund for the liquidation of its indebt-
edness to the government, but without action
the Senate adjourned.
In the House, on the 9th, the def
cheney bill was passed with one item stricken
out; after some other business the report of
submitted. The majority report concludes
by declaring that the Democratic electors re-
ceived a majority of the votes in the State :;
that the canvass was illegal, fraudulent and
void; and that the vote of the State cannot
be counted tor Hayes and Wheeler without
confirming and approving the illegal and
fraudulent action. The minority report de-
clared that the Republican electors were cho-
sen, and the returns made by the proper au-
thorities under all the forms OF law. Both re-
ports were ordered printed.

Crazy Horse Again Routed.

Gen. Wilson, in a dispatch to Gen.
Sheridan, from the Yellowstone says: I have
the honor to report that this command fought
the hostile tribes OF Cheyenne and Ogallallas
Sioux, under Crazy Horse, in skirmishes, on
the first, third and seventh OF January, and in
five hours engagement on the 9Th inst
Their camp, some six hundred lodges, ex-
tended three miles along the valley of the
Tongue river, below Hanging Woman's Creek
They were driven through the cannons Of
Wolf or Panther Mountains, in the direction
of the Big Horn Mountains. Their fighting
strength outnumbered mine two or three to
one, but by taking advantage OF the ground
chad them at a disadvantage, and their loss
is known to be very severe. Our loss was 8
killed and s wounded. They fought entirely
'dismounted, and charged on foot to within so
yards of Captain Crazy's line, but were taken
in front and flank by Captain Buffers and
lieutenant McDonald's companies. They
were whipped at every point, and driven from
the field and pursued as far as my limited
supplies and worn down animals would carry
my command.
The Indians appear to have plenty of arms
and ammunition, but otherwise are in des-
titute condition. Some of the prisoners now
in our hands were captured with frozen limbs
and were living on horse meat. The weather
has been very severe, and the snow from one
to three feet deep. The command is in good
condition.
