How the Indian Jockey Won,

The first horse-race in this country
occurred just twenty-five years ago be-
tween a white man named Il. Kuhn and
an Indian belonging to the numerous
camps of red men in this county. Kuhn
put up twenty-five dollars IN gold, and
fMr. Indian would cover it he would
let his horse run. This was arranged,
and three hundred and fifty yards
agreed upon as the distance. A naked
savage was then bound to a pony, with
each wrist encircled with rattle-boxes
of ingenious device. Everything being
in readiness, word was given and away
they went, the Indian in the lead.
When they had passed about half the
distance Kuhn thought he would show
now easily he could pass. AS Kuhn
urged his horse alongside the savage
let forth an unearthly yell, and at the
same time fourishing whip and rattles
in the eye of the white mans horse,
causing the affrighted animal to wheel
and run in the opposite direction, leav-
ing to the savage free field and no

Unlocking the Shackles.

The sun was just setting at the close
of d long, hot day in June, when Ell nest
Black and myself drove our wagons up
the bank OF Red river, on the Indian
Territory side. We were hauling
freight for the United States govern
ment. and were on our way to Texas for
q load.
We signaled the ferryman, living on
the Texas side, and as soon as he came
over began to cross. The boat was too
small to put over both wagons at once
so I crossed first and came back to
assist Ernest.
he had two refractory mules, which
had always to be held in ferryboat,
and it sometimes took both of us to do
80.
Just as the ferrybo neared the

hausted, came into view around bend
in the road, q double burden on his
back. A young man of noble appear
ance, but looking weary and harassed,
rode in front behind a beautiful girl,
nearly white, but with sufficient Indian
blood showing through the clear skin
They rode up to the wagon, and the
young man, without dismounting, spoke
to Ernest
"Sir. am q white man, and some
days since had quarrel with another,
in which, unfortunately, he was acci-
dentally shot. I am pursued by his
brothers, who are close behind, and
who have sworn to kill me on sight. /

"Why do they" began Ernest but
the stranger cut him short.
"Time presses, sir; you must answer
yes or 'noP If not / must do the
best I can for myself. decline to
shed blood, but if l am too closely pur-
sued" and the cleaning of the blue
eyes finished the sentence.
Ernest took another look at the open,
manly face, which, whatever might be
written there, showed no trace of crime.
Then he spoke, and fast, for the
trampling of horses feet rapidly ap-
preaching could now be heard:
ST suppose you wish to take the lady

The young man dismounted, assisted
off the girl who was riding behind him
and did as directed, covering down in
the bottom of the wagon.
After depositing the sheet so as to
look as if il had only been carelessly
thrown in, Ernest led the horse a
short distance from the road, and, after
having taken off saddle and bride
turned him loose and returned to his
team.

boat, which by this time had reached
the bank, and the wagon drove in. After
giving the ferryman a caution to silence,
Ernest turned to me;

justice to escape, but will risk it.
Loose the boat and put of, Beecher p
he added to the ferryman.
At this moment, however, pair OF
horses, covered with dust and sweat,
came round the turn in the road, and
their drivers drew rein at the river side.
They were two powerful, evil-looking
fellows, with belts stuck full of revol-
vers, and a rife across the pummel OF
each saddle.
The elder-looking one of the two ad-
dressed Ernest;
"HaVe you seen anything of a man
and woman on one horse anywhere
here?"

wagon and sheet in it, and both meI
dismounted.

Several cases of atrocious poisoning
in England of late have attracted much
attention. A London physician has
written letter to one of the papers, in
which he says: Being in conversation
with an eminent London physician and
with an eminent provincial physician, l
chanced to relate an attempt at domes-
tic poisoning which had come under
my notice in course of my practice. The
provincial physician related similar
one, the London physician another.
He then added: Here are we three,
each with such case, and probably
with more than one in our experience.
Estimating that there are $4,000 medi-
cal practitioners in Great Britain, be-
lieve that $4,000 of them could tell
tales of the same kind. How many in.
stances are there which escape detec-
tionP' It is not mitted by most com
mentators on this curious intimatiOn
that there is any such prevalence of
poisoning as these figures would seem
to indicate. Nevertheless, cases of at
tempted poisoning are not infrequent.
There seems to be no safeguard against
them. For In England, at all events,
the regulations against the improper
sale of poisons are very strict.

Reading for Taxpayers.

The assessor and board Of review
have finished their labors on the tax
roll for 1888, and the footings are
now being made. The aggregate val
uation of the county is not yet acur-
ately known, but it will probably not
be less than 100000, as during the
past year over 10000 acres of newly
entered lands have been added and
as values have greatly increased,
especially pine lands and town lots.
Taxes for the coming year, in view of
the many improvements now required
in our town so long neglected, will
necessarily be high For 1882 the
amount was S31, 900 For 1888 the
amount will probably be in the neigh
borhood of 100000 Last year the
rate was 46 mills; this year, upon the
increased valuation, the rate should
not exceed two mills. But even this
sum upon present valuations of town
lots, ranging from 800 to $1,000
each, will be apt to make good deal
of sqmrming among owners who have
been for these many years paying only
a nominal tax.
We can't build city here without
making public improvements, and
now that the new era has set in and
our town has commenced to grow
owners of lots here may begin to brace
themselves up for a long siege OF
heavy taxes. Graded streets, sewers,
water-works, gas and light supply,
street railways, and hundred other
things necessary to the growth and
convenience of a city, will have to be
provided for, and Of course the only
way to meet the great expenses always

DULUTH g. IRON RANGE RAILROAD,
Agate Boy Route Observation-Disclosures ior
Hts Best lake Port.

Our neighbors at Duluth have been
agitated of late by reports that the
railroad to the iron ore at Vermilion
might 90 down the north shore twenty
five miles to Agate Bay, thence to the
mines. We learn from a reliable
source Gone of the party on the sur
vey) that the best line found so far
north from Agate Bay, has grade of
115 feet per mile for four miles, and is
very expensive line. We do not
think the projectors Of that road will
60 down the shore twenty-five miles to
find such line when it is well known
that line has been run with only 90
feet to the mile twenty miles this side;
at the same time we happen to know
that negotiations for the purchase of
lands III the interest of the railroad at
Agate Bay, have failed, and have been
abandoned by the company, and it
looks as though some men who
thought they knew it all, and have
purchased expecting to speculate on
the company, were very badly left, as
well as the parties the railroad
sought TO buy of, and that, too,
at prices fully five times the value of
the land Duluth can now rest easy
on her fears of a rival there. Nature
and the greed of land owners has set
tied that question, and Agate Bay will
be left to its quiet repose.
But it is by no means a settled thing
that the railroad from the lake to the
iron will not make Superior its lake
port, as we have always contended
it should. Should the Duluth
Il Iron Range railroad company fail
in getting an extension Of time on the
old land grant to it, this winter, as we
think they assuredly will, as the Du-
luth q Winnipeg railroad company,
who claim the grant will oppose it
assisted by ". w Billson, candidate
for the state senate, and a man of in
fiuence, backed by the principle men
at Duluth, they will have no special
reason to build under that charter,
and in fact with it cannot afford to
build that road.
The natural route for that road is
from Knife Falls to Vermillion up the
valley of the St. Louis River. The
road from Knife Falls to Superior is a
very favorable grade, and is now in
operation, and the ST. Paul Il Duluth
Rail Road. Co., and the Northern Pa
cific Rail Road Co., we are assured
stand ready to make the most favora-
bic arrangements; in fact we think
they would be willing to make the sur
vey so sure are their engineers that it
Is the best route. One has only to look
on the map to see the fact of what we
state. In addition, the traffic of that
road would be larger in lumber Gall
wanted Hest) and its supplies from
the West would come in the same
way. Greater inducements in the way
terminal facilities can be had at Su-
perior than elsewhere, if they have not
already been secured by parties in the
interest Of that project. We predict
that before that Road to the Iron is
built all these matters Will have due
consideration, and now that the line
TO Agate Bay is abandoned we know
that an investigation into the merits,
cost, etc, will satisfy the men in in
terest that the best, cheapest and most
practicable route Is from Nermillion to

incident to such improvements is by
taxation upon the property directly

achievement, a city cannot be built
without labor, money and self-sacrifce,
and the sooner we here, who have the
work on hand, realize this fact, and
reconcile ourselves to 1t, the better
will we be able to progress with and
carry out our purposes.
