A Sad story of Filtration, ElOpemeDt and
DesertiOn.
The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of beautiful young lady of Concord,
N. H., four weeks ago has been solved by
finding her in Milwaukee, betrayed and
deserted. A few months ago, Florence
Burton, 17-year old daughter of j. l..
Burton, a wealthy banker and well-known
railroad man, began a filtration on rail
road train with a drummer named Fred
Bixby. The acquaintance was carried on
in secret until the fellow prevailed On tho
girl to elope.
Her disappearance created a great sen
sation, and search had been made all over
the country for four weeks. The father
and mother of the girl became convinced
that she had eloped, and obtaining clue
followed the couple from city to city.
They found her daughter and her seducer
had stopped at hotel in Boston as man
and wife and afterwards traced them from
place to place until Chicago was reached.
Here the clue was lost for some time,
but trace was finally discovered which
led the distracted parents to Milwaukee.
After several days search the daughter
was found deserted in the furnished room
of house. The meeting was very affect
ing and the girl has returned home with
parents. The great wealth and social po.
sition of the girls family make the affair
the sensation of the day. Burton says he
will shoot Bixby on sight. The girl is a
beautiful blonde, well educated for her age
and moved in the best social circles of New
England.

SENATOR FAIR has followed the ex.
ample of Senator Tabor and bought a
divorce from his wife. In both cases,
with the accumulation of wealth, these
men developed an appetite for luxury
and licentiousness, and the women who
had been their faithful helps-meet in
adversely and poverty, naturally resent
ed their fragrant breaches of marital
duty and scandalous immoralities. Their
senatorial husbands welcomed their com
plants as a pretext for divorce pro-
ceedings and connived at separation
from obligations which CALLED them.
They have given their wives munifcent
alimony and have thus purchased their
right to get married again. Tabor has,
tened to take a new wife who was little
better than himself and one of the same
kind or worse IS waiting for Fair. And
this is the sort of men who sit in a Sen.
ate that has been exercised in devising
ways and means to disfranchise the Nor
mons and confiscate their property.

The INDIAN WARS.
Driving the Apaches In

Driving the Apaches Into the Mountains.
Gen. Topatz, commanding the troops
in Sonora, thinks that General Crook has
encountered the Apaches and driven them
into their stroDgholds in the Sierra Madre
mountains. He believes the Apache
question will never be settled while they
retain their San Carlos reservation, it
being too near the renegade Indians in
Sonora. He says it is the general opinion
of tho people of Sonora that tho
Indian agents encourage the Indians
to leave the reservation, depredato and
steal in Sonora, and carry back the plum
der to the reservation, where they ex-
change it for arms and ammunition. He
thinks the removal or determination of
the Apaches tho only solution of the diff
Guilty, and has confidence in Gen. Crook S
ability to conquer the relegades. He
hopes the United States government will
appreciate the difficulty and hardships that
Gen. Crook is now encOuntering.
A special dispatch from Helena, MOnta-
ma, says: The expected advance of a large
war party of the northern Crees in Mon
tana has been stopped by the mounted
police of Fort Walsh, Northwest territory,
and by the action of Gen. Ruger, of this
district. Every effort will be made by
Canadian forces to confine the Crees to
their own country, and no further danger
is anticipated. The struggling bands now
on this side of the border will also be
placed under surveillance when they reach
their reservation.
A special session of the Choctaw Indian
council was held at Armstrong academy,
in the capital of the nation yesterdy,
having been called by principal Chief
McCurlin, to consider the Freedman
question. BY tho treaty of 1866 between
the Federal government and the Confeder
ate Indians, the Choctaws and Chicka
saws agreed to emancipate and give
the usual rights to the colored people in
their nation within two years, for which
the United States was to give them $500.
600 and if they failed to adopt them in that
time the money was to be used to remove
| and settle them elsewhere. The Chootaws
failed to adopt them, and the government
did not move them, and they have been
there ever since without either citizenship
rights or title to the land they work
The Choctaws now desire to adopt them
and for this purpose the council was
| called.

SENATOR AULL declares that he and
his fellow-excursionists in the Legisla
ture did not abandon their legislative
duties, to 60 on their Virginia tour, to
forward any political purpose. Some
charitable newspaper that was trying to
invent some sort of excuse for the excur-
sion suggested that Malone had seduced
our solons to Richmond to view the
beauty of his reputation COVER
nor. There was color given to
the idea by the warm admiration
which the visitors expressed for Gov
ernor Cameron, to whose eloquent de-
scription of himself and Malone as the
saviours of Virginia credit, our senators
and representatives are declared to have
listened open mOuthed.
We will take Senator Aull's word
for it that the excursionists had
no political aim. We never thought
they had. They were manifestly
too silly set to have any
aim. They sufficiently exhibited their
folly when they were willing to abandon
their seats in the Legislature; and the
credulity with which they listened to the
Virginia Ananias was not needed as
additional evidence of their mental and
moral weakness. Senator Aull and his
associate excursionists are dead and will
be buried. No one will ever again have
q chance to charge them with political
purpose.

A Dentist Tolls q Queer Story.

New York Morning Journal,
Why" said a prominent dentist to
the reporter, ga beautiful young lady
came to me and insisted on having her
really fine teeth pulled out and false ones
put in their place. protested that it
would be foolish, silly, senseless ; but she
said no, she would have them out, and if
I would not do it some dentist would.
"My teeth are not fashionable" said
she (; ''they are too long, and short little
broad teeth like corn kernels are all the
fashion now and no one admires my mouth
and will have Them So made her the
teeth, and they cost her just $500. She
couldn't see anyone for two weeks after I
pulled out her own. They were the upper
ones only, and 1 made them up with gold
plates for handsome young fellow who
had his own teeth knocked out in a base
ball game. The worst of it is that he is in
love with this very girl whose teeth he
wears, and she knows they are hers. Just
ponder on that"

The New York World, under it's new
management strikes out in new ways and
promises to be a novelty in New York
journalism, as far removed from the old
style of the paper as the difference be-
tween kHurlburt and Pulitzer is wide.
It brings to metropolitan editing the
ways of the West which, for a time at
least, are certain to attract attention. It
has pleased some of the leading New York
journals to ignore the fact that a new man
has taken charge of it, which only proves
their shortcomings as newspapers. Their
readers will be SURE to find it out and
then they may want to patronize paper
that gives them all the news.
