DetFOI FTec fFeSS.
The remarkable suit for libel brought by
the Rev. Mr.. Human, of Niobrara Mission
to the Santee Indians, had a remarkable
ending. Bishop Hare wrote pamphlet de-
claring that the Rev. Human, one of his
subordinates, was accused of unchastity with
Indian women; of offensive familiarity with
one or more of the female missionary teach
ers; of breach of promise with another.
Under these circumstances, Bishop Hare
very naturally said that Mr.. Hinman's use
fulness was over, and dismissed him, pub
fishing the accusations against Human in
defense of his action.
Tho existence Of this gossip was proved at
the trial by numerous witnesses; Its truth
being by no means well established, the jury
gave verdict of SIC, 900 to Cinman. 1t was
proved on the trial that gossip and scandal
were common and impartial at the mission,
and tina. Bishop Hare himself had been the
victim of IL; having been charged with kiss
Ing one Of Humans alleged mattresses and
with the paternity of an infant whose moth
er was an Indian woman.
No attempt, and no pretense, was made to
prove the truth OF this scandal about the
Bishop, bat only to show how that kind of
talk prevailed there and how cautious the
Bishop ought to have been In accepting 1t as
fit were the truth. The penalty is pretty
severe, but II would seem as If somebody
ought to pay something in order to suppress
scandal In tho missions out in Nebraska.
They would seem to have an uncommon lot
of leisure for business of that sort.

Carrier Pigeons.

The New York Medical Record gives an
account Of method of utilizing the homing
instincts OF the carrier pigeon as an aid to
country medical men In their practice. It.
seems that these birds have been made very
useful by country doctors IN New York State
and Pennsylvania. One medical man in.
Hamilton county, New York, uses them
constantly In his practice, and considers
them an almost invaluable aid. After visit

demand. He frequently, also, leaves pigeons

THE sTAR-RouTE FRAUDS.
a. Colonel IngersoII Calls Bliss Liar.

F.
WASHINGTON, May 5.--The regular pro-
ceedings In the case of the United States
against Brady, Dorsey, Turner, and others
began In the criminal court to-day. General
Brady and Turner were the only defendants
present at the opening Of the court.
The proceedings began with a motion to
quash by Colonel Totten in Turner's case.
He said the grounds were substantially the
same as those already disposed of In the
other cases, and he asked to have the plea of
"not guilty withdrawn and have bis mo-
tion entert aimed. Colonel Totten also pre-
sented several other motions and proceeded
TO explain the new points they involved.
One motion charges that Turner, who was
an officer of the United States, is connected
in the same indictment with Others who were
not United States officers, and that the sew
eral acts charged are punishable in different
degrees In the several conflicting statutes.
But Judge Wyle said he could not see
why public officer could not conspire with
a citizen to defraud the government. After
further argument the Judge denied the mo-
ton. The defense noted an exception.
Counsel for the defense then filed num-
Der of motions and pleas, which the court
overruled in bulk, and Colonel Totten asked
| to have the exceptions noted.
The court stated there was no such thing
as noting exceptions in criminal cases in the
District.
Merrick stated that James w. Dorsey had
not been arrested
Bliss added In fact that Ingersoll had
promised him several weeks ago to produce
J. w. Dorsey in court, and relying upon this,
although they had bench warrant for his
arrest, they had promised "not to make
themselves unhappy" trying to secure his
arrest Dorsey had not been produced. He
wanted to call attention to this barefaced
violation, and said he regarded 1t as mere
measure of delay.
At this point Ingersoll sprang 10 his feet
and bringing his fist down upon the table,
exclaimed: You are liar, sir, liar"
Judge Wylie reproved both attorneys in
severe tones.
Merrick then entered into long explana-
L
between the counsel as to Dorsey's appear
ance, and claimed the statement of Colonel
Bliss was correct.
Ingersoll, in answer to an inquiry from
the court, said he did not deny the facts; he
did dony that he had been guilty of tricks.
He acted with perfect good faith under the
conviction that he would be able " produce
Mr.. Dorsey. He supposed when he made
the arrangement that he had the power to
produce Mr.. Dorsey and wanted to say now
he could not.
Merrick then said they must ask for an ex-
tension of ten days in order the officers
might be able to go down and arrest this
man.
The court then granted an extension of
hearing until May 10th.

"HuNT THE RASCAL DoWN.n
New Developments Expected Regarding
the Morey Letter.

/ NEW York, May 5.-The Tribuae's Wash
ington special says: 1t appears probable that
aColoneP' Horatio Hercules Hadley, who
acquired such notoriety during the last Pres
idential campaign as Secretary of the Han
cock Republican Club in New York, will
soon emerge from obscurity again and en-
gage the public attention, for short time at
least. For the last eighteen months "Hunt
the rascal down" has been John I. Dayen-
ports motto, and he has been unwearied In
his efforts to discover the author Of the
Morey letter forgery. More than year ago
certain information furnished to Davenport
led him to believe that II he would, Colonel
Hadley could give some valuable informa-
ton on the subject, and it appears that
Davenport has persistently followed ever
since the clue then obtained. It is now
learned from q trustworthy source that
Davenport has succeeded ininducing Hadley
to divulge what he knows about the matter,
which is good deal. Among the facts thus
obtained Is that the forgery was concerted in
the Republican Hancock Club. Hadley, II
is understood, has also disclosed the manner
In which The letter was placed In the posses
sion Of the Democratic National Committee.
1t is further stated that Hadley's disclosures
have convinced those to whom they were
made that Abram s. Hewitt was merely i'm
posed upon in the matter. The Chairman,
| it is charged, Is among those who knew that
the letter was not genuine.

A USELESS QUEST.

We are glad to see that the quest for the
North Pole, as difficult and less promising
than that for the Golden Fleece, is begin
ming to be considered in its practical light by
many Of influence who have heretofore en-
couraged the useless sacrifice of life and YES
sells on that Ice cap of earth. A reporter of
the New York Tribune last Saturday asked
an officer of the Brooklyn navy yard what
was the general opinion Of naval officers in
regard to Arctic explorations, and he said !:
at is the opinion of the entire service
that they are useless sacrifices of men and
ships. Look at the tremendous debit ac-
count and say if the discovery of anything
hereafter can ever equalize 1t. What has the
Jeanette accomplished, beyond the dis
covery of two islands that can never be in
habited by white man? The price paid
fer this Is beyond computation"
The New York Times editorially says !:
" The probability Is that DeLong and his
men did not many days survive the departure
of the couriers they sent for succor. All
have now succeeded in contributing to the
annals of Arctic exploration a tale tran
scending in tragic interest the story of Sir
John Franklin's voyage, and in a distant
State there Is to-day bereaved widow who
mourns the fate Of belong as Lady Frank
lin SO long and passionately grieved for her
husband, whom the Icy waters never gave up
to her. Let us be content with this achieve
ment." t..4...+e
The explorations In Africa have probably a
practical value and may open up the dark
continent to civilization and industry. Even
In Its deadliness are germs Of life. But
eternal ice guards the useless mystery of the
North Pole, and the fact has been sufficiently
impressed. There should be no more Arctic
expeditions until there are other and better
methods of travel discovered aud man has
become frost proof.

THE DELEGATE CAMPAIGN.

1t was scarcely to be expected that Mr..
s. T. Hauser, Premier Of the Democratic
party In Montana, would be home long be-
fore something would develop relative to the
Delegate campaign. Sure enough, collab-
orateur Of the Independent developed some
of his views last Sunday the principal
feature Of which Is that the next Delegate
should by right and courtesy come from the
West Side, whereupon Mr.. Hauser names
ten prominent West Side Democrats as
available men, and three alleged available
Republican candidates, two of whom are
from the East Side. The geographical dis
tribution, perhaps Inadvertently made, con-
firms the sincerity Of his inclination toward
West Side candidate, and 1t is clearly Its
due II locality 10 10 be considered. He fur
Their thinks there may be some doubt about
the result Of the contest on account Of the
large influx of new electors whose political
bias Is not known, and he prefers among
Democrats an ''oid timer" and apparently
one with money to spend In the canvass and
who can "whoop up the boys on the stump.
Mr.. Hauser Is considerable of political
diplomatist but there are inherent evidences
that In this interview he has atalked out I'm
meetin'." Helena has bad the Delegate for
ten years and now b rs the Mullan tunnel.
The contest Is likely TO be close. Butte Is
m important factor and must be propitiated.
IL has been difficult to raise campaign funds
and 4 monied candidate who can stand some
or the wrench himself will be relief TO Mr..
Hauser. Mr.. II. names rs available West
Side Democratic candidates Samuel Word,
G. w. Stapleton, w. A. Clark, w. w. Dixon,
Butte; Jse. A. Browne, Beaverhead; Thss.
L. Napton, A. Fl. Mitchell, A. X. Mayhem,
Deer Lodge; @. r. Higgins, w. ]. McCor-
mick, Missoula. Republicans, Governor b.
r. Potts, w. r. Sanders, james III. Mills.
This IL entirely too many, and the number
can be cancelled heavily In advance. Col.
Sanders and Mr.. Word are respectively 1t
torneys for the N. r. and u. ON. R'ys which
have rival interests and the nomination u
either would probably invite the fatal oppo.
sition Of the other company. Governor
Potts and Mr.. Mills are neither candidates
for any Office. Mr.. Dixon has absolutely re.
fused tho use Of his name heretofore and
would not probably permit II now. We ID
not know how the remaining gentlemen 70
gard the matter and presume the question
viii soon develop. But are the friends d

tion9 And hasn't Nr. Hanser overlooked ,
few Republicans either or whom b likely !.

SENATOR BEN. Hills family despair nf
his permanent Improvement. IL Ia reported
that his physician has told him thai the'most
he can promise ID that lie can live for six
months. The Senator has gone TO the
springs In Arkansas In hopes Of finding re-
lief, taking q surgeon with him. Before he
left Washington Intimate friends called upon
him, but were unable to see him, being told
that he was under the influence of morphine
and could not be disturbed. 1t Is thought
TO be significant that all his family, inciud-
ing TIVE sons who are married, have gone
with him, aud his colleagues In the Senate
have little hope of seeing him alive again.
His disease has developed into an active
cancer of the most violent form, and has re-
fused to yield TO the most skillful and vigor-
GUS treatment. After some half dozen ope-
rations, the fourth OF which resulted In the
complete removal of the parotid gland, the
patient has experienced no relief, but has
grown steadily worse. 1t seems that the
Senator has, from the first, had but little
hope of favorable results from treatment,
owing to the fact that he was attacked by
disease which he inherited from his ances-
tors, aud which has carried off q brother and
sister and two aunts, according to the testi-
mony of the members of the family. The
Senator's brother, DIR. Hill, died of cancer In
the stomach, and his sister was attacked
very much as be had been by cancer on the
cheek.
HENRY w. GRADY says the extent of
the cutting to which Senator Hill, OF
Georgia, has been subjected is not real.
lied BY the public. Four times he has been
under the knife. One-third of his tongue
has been taken out-the entire left floor of
his mouth-the glands in the left side Of his
loat ha
we're; and probably successful. When he was
put under ether for 1t, 1t was intended to
only take out q small lump that had hard
ened on the gland in his neck. After he was
insensible 1t was determined to adopt the
heroic treatment and take out the entire
gland. He was kept under the knife two
hours.-Ezchdnge.
There are many who chafe under poverty
and daily toll, who think their lot hard and
God unjust that others no better than them
selves have wealth and station. They do
net always stop to think that the cotter'sroof
may cover happier home than does that of
the palace, and that after all health is the
great element Of happiness--health of body
and mind, for one has sympathetic relatio ms
with the other, and even envy aud discomfort
are diseases. The sufferings of Senator Hill
are suggestive. Eminence is no safeguard
against suffering. Who that has health
would exchange places with him? And he is
but one of the many whose life is torture.
"Contentment Is the charm of life." Let
him who has health and happy home, even
though each day brings Its arduous toll, be
content. 1t Is as rule the poor man who
whistles cheerily through the day and sleeps
peacefully through the night, while unrest
and bodily ills vex the hours Of those more
affiuent.
