Johnny Daveupor, SLOW hut sure

Washington, Dec. 1s.-A leading
member of tho republican national
committee is authority for saying that
the committee, through John l. Daven-
port, is slowly but surely getting at the
bottom OF the Morey letter, and that
evidence has already been obtained
showing that the letter was not pre-
pared 10y one person without accom-
plices, but was the result Of n carefully
conceived scheme on the part of n
prominent democratic editor in WASH
ington, with the knowledge of the lead
ing democratic managers.
The committee has conclusive proof
as TO who wrote the letter. but before
making it public, they want to fasten
the infamy connected with it upon the
men who conceived the forgery and err
ployed willing tools to execute it.

The Latest Prom sitting Hair. Camp,

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. ls.-General
Terry has information from Major
Brotherton that Scout Allison started
from Woody mountain on the 1lth
inst, with Sitting Bulls camp of In
dians, with the plan Of going into
Fort Bniord to surrender. The Indians
are also starving; their ponies are few
and in poor condition, and tho Indians
appear to have but a small supply Of
ammunition. They want TO keep in the
timber and come down Porcupine creek
TO the mouth OF Milk river, or stop n
few days on the way TO hunt for game
TO keep them from suffering. The In
dians are like wild cattle, so Allison
easily stampeded, and very
difficult TO handle.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The plates
surrendered by Brockway have arrived.
Chief Drummond. of the secret service
department, says that Brockway main
tained that the counterfeit money is
usually made to sell; that he did not
undertake any small work; that he al
ways did work that would not effect
poor people, always conilning his oper-
atIous to prominent banks, by SO doing,
he said, the poor people were not effect
ed. as the banks had a sinking fund and
could make their losses good.

Delayed.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Regardlng the
Atchison, Topeka S Santa Fe railroad
it is learned from good authority that
tho road will not be ready for business
before March and perhaps not then.
The reason assigned is that the South

time, it is said, that great majority of
the shippers are about to renew their
contracts with the Union and Central

They Can't Do II.

We understand that some physicians
are crying ont against HALE's HONEY
OF HoREuoUND AND TAR to their pa
tients, telling them that IL would do
them no good, and endeavoring in every
way possible to injure tho sale of the
same; but that cry comes too late, rs
the people OF this city and country havc
learned by experience that this article
is certain cure for Coughs, Colds, In
fiuenza, Hoarseness, Difficult BREATH
ing, and all affections Of the Throat,
Bronchial tubes, and Lungs, leading
to Consumption, and then instead of
having TO pay their physicians from 81

paying their druggist from fifty cents
To 81, they can 20 to any drug store
and get bottle of HALE's HONEY OF

Not UD on Goats.

The goat is an everyday sight, and
the man who does not study him and
learn his ways and habits has only him.
self to blame. Saturday forenoon a
"Wllliam'' was quietly feeding on COL
umbia Street when load of household
goods went past. The owner kept pace
with the wagon, carrying under his arm
a fine mirror about five feet long. As
he came opposite the goat he met a
friend, and of course he had to stop and
tell why he was changing locations and
how much he expected to be benefited.
The glass was heavy, and he naturally
dropped one end to the walk to rest his
arm.
Had this man been a close observer
he would have seen the goat and wished
he had brickbat. Had he made goat
nature study he would have known
better than to lower the glass. But he
was a man who despised the trifes of
life, and he was telling how many tons
of coal the new house would save him
this winter when the goat, who had
been getting mad for two long minutes
at the sight of a rival in the mirror,
went through the glass like a thunder
bolt, and jumped into the street with
the frame clinging to his shaggy sides.
All that ripping, and raving, and cuss-
ingg-all the opening of front doors all
the inquiries by an excited crowd could
have been saved had the citizen but
beckoned to the smallest boy on the
street and asked him to give away a few
points on goats. ts.-Detroit Free Press.

How We Walk.

By means Of an ingenious clock-work
apparatus, Marcy, the French biologist,
has obtained a number Of exceedingly
Interesting graphic illustrations of the
manner in which man walks. The in
strument is a vertical barrel, covered
with finely ruled paper, and as the barrel
is made to revolve by the gearing with
in it, a little pencil makes mark on
the paper, as the person whose walk is
under investigation steps along with the
registering device. A little air-com-
presser, worked by the foot of the walker
at each step, sends a current of air
through flexible pipe to the instru-
ment, and gives more or less up-and-
down movement to the pencil. It has
been found that the step in going up
hill is longer than in going down hill;
that the step is longer for an unburdened
man than for a burdened one, and that
the step is longer when the sole of the
boot is thick and prolonged beyond the
toe than when it is short and flexible.
When a person ascends a hill he quickens
his pace, but diminishes it's length, and
he does just exactly the opposite when
descending an inclination on the ground.
1t would seem that Marey's 0bserva-
tions point to the advisability of pedes-
trians in general adopting low-heeled
boots, with thick, projecting soles.
