An Indian shot and killed a man
known as Dutch Joe on sight at Fort
Colville recently. The parties had n
quarrel, and after some very sharp
language on both sides, the Indian
drew his pistol and shot his compan-
ion. The widest excitement pre-
vailed in the town when the news was
made known. Crowds of citizens
talked Of the affair until they became
thoroughly indignant, and marched
In body to take the prisoner from
Jail and lynch him. A messenger was
sent by the authorities acquainting
them Of the threatened danger. Upon
being apprissd Of the Intentions of the
excited people the military took charge
Of the prisoner and locked him up In
the uayd-house.

1t Is stated in well informed circles
that lawyers engaged in the Morey
letter investigation are pushing their
inquiries and have reached the bottom
facts. Instead OF one forgery there
were three planned and executed by
the same parties, and all Intended to
make votes for Hancock. One OF
these Is said TO be the Weaver letter,
which attempted to show that the re-
publicans were manipulating the
greenback campaign; another Is the
alleged letter from Mrs. Sherman to
the editor Of a Catholic newspaper adj
vising friends OF the church to vote
for Hancock, and the third was the
Morey Chinese letter.

The socialists, as they call them
selves, are holding meetings in some
of the eastern cities of the United
States, and passing resolutions, ETC.,
commenting the work of the murder
Gus assassins. II true American,
whether native or foreign born, ever
feels that there is too much liberty in
this country, it is when he sees that
there are men who would abuse that
liberty as the socialists and commun-
lists do upon such occasions as the
present. TOO cowardly to remain in
the old country and fight the govern
meIt, they seek a refuge in free Amer
lea and berate il.

Scribner for March contains de-
scription of new torpedo vessel in
vented by the famous Ericsson some
what reassuring to our national pride
and seaboard safety. The sum of the
invention is concisely given thus:
An armor-clad boat, with a sub
merged gun firing shell or torpedo,
of greater power than any yet made.
capable of sinking all the ironclad
ships Of Europe, able to outrun any
ship, completely invulnerable, fights
bows on, fires rapidly without noise,
warming or making n ripple upon the
water" Forty of these "Destroyers"
can be built in 80 days time at less
cost than one such ironclad ship as
the "Infiexible," and dozen of them
could easily defend New York harbor
against all the fleets in the world. In
an emergency the gun could be placed,
inside of forty days, in steamboats, OF
any size or shape and be made ready
for action. The government has been
assisting Ericsson in perfecting his
ship and gun with men and means.
1t will be relief to know that though
our commerce on the seas is mostly
done in foreign bottoms, and our navy
has dwindled into comparative insig-
niticance, the means Of defense have
not been neglected, but are equal to
any possible emergency.

The veterans of the war of 1912 held
their annual celebration in New York
city on the 22d of February. There
were just thirteen of them this year,
the ages of whom ranged from so to 80
years. These men, old as they now
are, were mere boys during that war,
from ! / to 2l years of age at its break
ing out, and from II to "a at its close.
A decade hence and there will proba-
bly, be no living remainder of our Sec
ond conflict with Great Britain. The
handful of survivors should be well
cared for by the Government during
the little remnant OF their days.

All army OiilceT SelluS us IillS Uler-
tied tribute from the Sidney, Neb.,
Haindealer, to "Soldiers in the Great
West"-all the more worthy of being
reprinted because the tone of COM
ment is often the reverse:
People at the east are not aware to
what extent the border country is
benefited by the regular army in
other ways than as defense against
hostile Indians. The regular army is
something of an emigration bureau.
1t is this incidentally. The nuclei of
hundreds of communities on the ex-
treme border have been formed of dis
charged soldiers. Some Of them have
grown into Importance as villages and
others as livestock communities.
Among the first to engage in CONNER
cial enterprises in Sidney and in stock
raising in the vicinity of Sidney were
honorably discharged soldiers. Many
of these men are with us to-day, and
embrace some of our most wealthy
and respected citizens. But for the
army they would not, in all probabil-
ity, have played any part in the de-
velOpment of the great west. At Forts
Mcpherson, Hartsuff, Kearney, Mo
brara, numerous government posts on
the Missouri river from Sioux City to
Fort Benton, up the Yellowstone, in
every Territory, from the extreme
north to New Mexico, almost every
where on the advance of civilization,
may be found discharged soldiers and
their families combating the dangers
and difficulties of life on the border.
The country does not know to what
extent it is indebted to these dauntless
people who have learned to endure
hardship by five years of life in the
regular army. For years thousands Of
soldiers had their wives with them
who served the army in various capa-
cities, and were an important factor of
the army. These women became in
ured to the severest tests of mind,
muscle and courage, and were just the
wives for the brave, patient men who
settled down in business rs ranch-men,
stock-raisers, mechanics and mer-
chants, wherever their discharge came
to them. OF course not all discharged
soldiers have thus settled down, but
hundreds of thousands Of them have
done so, and we could mention the
names of large number of men in
this stock district who began business
on their own hook when discharged
from the army, and who enjoy to-day
as a reward for their enterprise, econ
omy and industry, handsome fortunes.
All of the enlisted men of the army
are physical models, many of them
are well educated and some fitted for
the professions. They were young and
perhaps "off their nut" when they en-
listed, but five years experience in the
army natures the Judgment and often
times corrects habits which had been
ruinous. Many such men recognize
the undeveloped west as their best
field, and as soon as discharged enter
upon respectable and productive lives.
All honor to these men; for the coun-
try is largely indebted to them, and
the west finds in them her best and
bravest citizens.

Zadkiel, the famous astrologer or Lon
don, states that next year will bring all
kinds of evil. But With sort of cynical
leer, the old fraud says in the same breath
that the lawyers will have plenty of
work to do, indications promising lively
times in the divorce courts" And here
is a forecast that Mayor Warner will
probably regard as two or three months
too late for general application: "There
will be much violence in the United
States, and some great men will suffer
degradation or meet with VIOLENT
death" But even that sad as it is, has
its antidote, for railroads are to be
prosperous, insuring three additional
lines for Peoria, viz: The Lake Erie h
Western, the Chicago & Alton, and the
Illinois Central. Breadstuffs are to be
high" including the great American hog;
and if our Board of trade men are to be
influenced by the stars, they will have
care about "going short" We are to
have "panics, turbulence, bloodshed,
war, and a big tumble in securities. I"
This will probably defeat the new opera
house scheme The "war" and "pink.
eye" will call out the young men gener.
ally and give the wheelmen opportunity
to show their bottom in the bycicle cav.
airy. In England the dynamite fellows
will "get their work in" some time next
July. Explosions and deeds of violence
will be rife in London" That may, of
course, signify that July will be popu-
lar time for pop and baseball; but the
idea is forbidden by Crows ominous
winks when reference is made to England
or dynamite. The United States will be
ruled by "Gemini," as President Arthur
might say. "The King of Spain we
are informed "is to be placed in tight

sophisticated Alfonso learns of that he
will probably not drink drop and stay

Every English hop.picking season

able, that is, to them, for the Kentish
people are annually incensed at their
goings on. But there are other classes in
the country places equally annoying and
even dangerous to residents. On cer-
tain week in October there were counted
in Northamptonshire about one hundred
vehicles moving from place to place, in
which, on the average, three men and
women and four children lived, gaining
their lives as they might. This list does
not include professional gipsy wagons.
OF course, the children could learn moth
ing good about books and the decencies
of life, being constantly subject to de.
grading influences. There were counted
one day at Daventry Market in three
wagons twenty.one children and seven
adults of both sexes. There are said to
be over 10000 children in England living
in this way, and there are loud calls for

The Attorney General of Indiana con-
demns the marriage associations which
are in great vogue in the northern and
eastern parts of the State. Their pur-
pose is to give people who join them
good start in life when they marry; but
the Attorney General says they cannot
fulfil their promises and that the only
persons who will make money from them
are the officers, who receive half of the
initiation fees. And, indeed, were the
case different, it would still be true that
such associations are as disreputable as
graveyard insurance itself, which, start.
