A SECOND SoLoMoN.--This story Of a
troopship il just now current In London !: La
the ladies' cabin were four washbasins, one Of
which was much larger than the others
There were three ladies in the cabin whose
husbands were about equal in rank. The
women always think they have right to
presume on the rank OF their husbands when
taking choice of berths, etc, and there was
great discussion as to who was entitled to the
big basin. 1t was referred to the paymaster
of the ship, who could settle nothing, and
eventually to the captain. He gave decis-
ion worthy of Solomon. After first asking
them IT they would abide by his verdict aud
not give any more trouble in the matter,
which they readily agreed to do, he said he
thought It was only fair that the Oldest lady
should have the biggest basin.

were in favor of it, there was some opposition
which was led by one of the deacons. Ops

brother was called upon to close the meeting
with prayer. He shook MS head, ana the
pastor again called on him. thinking that

was sober, honest and respected. He had
never pounded his wife. Never taken any in
terest in dog fight. lie had never been
known to pawn somebody else's watch, aud
never attempted to steal saw-mill. Snyder's
character was above reproach. He was
shining light 10 society. All Evansville look
ed up to and honored him. Bnt change
came--a fearful, direful change. In an evil
hour Snyder accepted nomination for Office.
Alas poorSnyderl Little did he understand
the deceit and treachery Of the wicked world
His eyes were soon opened however. Iii less
than week after he wa l.. Nominated the Or
-damaon0 charges against his character

q. That he had fed his neighbours hens on
poisoned corn.
s.. That he had broken his mother-in-law's
jaw with an iron boot. jack.
4. That on one occasion he gave whole
wagon load of green watermelons to an orphan
asylum.
8. That he had served term in State Prison
for horse stealing
0. That he had set fire to his neighbours
barn, merely because he refused to lend him
q hoe.
Z. That because he found button off his
shirt, he tied his wife to the bed. post and
mashed in three Of her ribs with stove-
poker. M
8. That his chief Sunday amusemants were
cock fighting and card playing.
o. That he sold his vote regularly to tho
highest bidder.
10. That be wasn't fit for the place, any
how. Hsi at @
These charges, although without the slight
est foundations were religiously believed by
majority Of the voters of Evansville.
And Snyders political goose was cooked
His chances for being elected were not
worth three cents on a dollar.
When Snyder passed along tho street bis
neighbors looked at him with suspicion and
crossed over on the other side. He win never

Cen. Howard's Annual Report

From the annual report of Gen. How
ard We take the following:
"Bris-General o. o. Howard reports
that there had been and still is consider
able restlessness among the Indians in
certain portions Of the Department of the
Columbia, caused by various encroach-
ments upon them By the whites Among
them he describes some occurrences near
Spokane Falls, where Indians engaged in
farming were despoiled of their land, their
fences torn down and logs drawn into their
plouehed land by railroad men, who also
cnt timber on lands claimed by Indians
He also says:
An organized party Of white men, claim
ing the right to sell whisky to Indians
becoming citizens, has secretly flooded
the several Indian hands North and South
of the Spokane with this maddening bever-
age.
The most threatening features of the
present outlook in regard to Indian affairs
in his deoartment is described by General
Howard as owing to the uneasiness OF
the Piutes and Bannocks, who we're cap
tured at the close Of the campaign Of 1878
and transferred TO The Yakama Agency,
and whr are nos desirinns of returning to
their old home, and have been encouraged
to believe that this would be permitted.

run its course. The troops remain en-
camped ON Boycott's farm, and the labor

Boycott's crops is Twenty-Five hundred
dollars. 1t will cost the govern

these crops. Mr. Boycott himself, not
caring to be shot, has abandoned his place
