and in the course of his remarks
scored Kearneyites, q number OF

of which was that the American peo-

disturbing element of late making
itself prominent in public affairs,
and urging the nomination Of the
best men. The meeting was harmo-
nious except for occasional little
dashes of disapproval from the
Kearneyites, who, however. confined
themselves wisely within the bounds
of decency.

A FALSE HEIR.-PITTsBURGH,
Pa, May 9th. A Tichborne case
on a small scale was decided in
Butler county, Pa, to-day.
Thirty years ago young girl
named Emily Ward left her
home near Petrolia, in that
county. All traces of her were
lost, and it was believed by her
parents, brothers and sisters that
she was dead. A few weeks ago
a woman appeared at the old
homestead, which, in conse-
quence Of the oil discoveries, has
become valuable, and claimed to
be the long-lost Emily. Her
claim was at first admitted by
the family. In a few days, ow-
ing to conflicting stories which
the woman told, doubt was
thrown upon her indentity, and
she was dismissed as an impost-
er. She then brought suit to re-
cover her share ofthe estate
large aHlonna of s&Iony+ nr-=-
introduced, to prove that the
claimant was Margold Hill,
daughter Of George Hill Of New
York, and not Emily Ward.
The genuine heir was traced
to MeadviIle. where she died in
1858. These facts were brought
out so distinctly as to completely
nonplus the pretender, and were
So satisfactory to the jury that
they brought in a verdict for de-
PENDANTS. About a dozen Of the
best lawyers III the State were
employed on either side. The
estate is valued at 100000.
1t will soon be time for city
folks to begin fiocking to the
mountains and the seaside.

4 BABY SAVING IT'S MOTHERS
LIFE.-M. and Madame Henri
Schneider went to the ball given
on the occasion of the marriage
of the King Of Spain. 1t is a
considerable distance from Mad
rid to Crenzot, and Madame
Schneider, on arriving home a
few days ago, was greatly fati-
gued. Two days and two nights
Of railroad travel had complete
ly exhausted her. 1t was even
ing, and she told her servants
that she needed complete repose,
and added: "Above all things
let nobody come into my room
tomorrow morning before !. ring
the bell" However, during the
absence of Madame Schneider,
her people had proposed a sur
prise for her. They had at last
succeeded in making her little
daughter walk. The child was
u rosy baby who up to that time
had not been able to advance a
single step. They were anxious
to show Madame Schneider the
newly acquired accomplishment
of her baby, but the orders were
stri.t, and this was a great dis
appointment. But in the morn
ing the nurse could 10 lorgc:
hold out. She thought that the
mother would forgive an indls-
cretion so well justified, and,
Notwithstanding the order, she
knocked at the door. There was
no response. She went in, and
staggered back, uttering a cry.
Madame Schneider was stretched
upon her bed motionless, and ap-
parently dead. She was sutfoca
ted. A crack was opened in the
wall through which the smoke
from the chimney entered the
bedroom. An hour later and
nothing could have saved her.
1t was three hours before she
became conscious. She IS not
yet completely restored. But

to announce that she is out Of
danger.--WoniteM Unirersel.

OMAHA, June 7.-Gen. Crook is of
pinion that the Idaho Indian troubles
may REQUIRE considerable force to sub
lue then. He recently visited that
country and took personal observations
at the agency. and it Is his opinion that
the principal trouble arose from the
fact that the Indians Lave not had
enough food. He attached no blame to
the agents for this. as he thought they
had faithfully and honestly distributed
supplies furnished by the government
but the fret is the government supplies
have been short. While at some a9en-
cies the Indians depend partly on the
game they can kill, there is no game OF
any account in the vicinity of Idaho
agencies where the Indians depend
wholly upon government supplies. In
proper Jon to other agencies, the Bans
nocks and other Idaho Indians are ted
a good deal less than the Sioux.
In regard to the reported excursion
Of Sitting Bull, Gen. Crook says that
when he was in Chicago recently, Sit
ting Bull sent word that be wanted to
come back, and that he would come
peaceably, but that he got no encour-
agement. He does not believe the re-
port that Sitting Bull is going Oh the
war path, and as TO the Indians III the
department of Platte, he thinks they
can easily be held in check.
