Machinery,

1t seems more like jest than earnest
to talk about 'gentle spring." "seed-
time and harvest" and kindred topics
now, but we are forcibly reminded of
the fact by the preparations that are
being made for an active campaign
among machinery dealers, that the
season of wsrmpth and activity is fast
approaching. Numerous changes
among machinery dealers have been
made since last year. All classes of
farming implements, however are still
in the market here, and each kind is
in the hands Of active men, who will
work effectively for the sale Of the
particular kind of machinery in which
they are interested.
Two firms which dealt in machinery
last year, have been dissolved, viz:
Leonard & Allyn and Wilcox 4 Suit
ton. C. H. Allyn, of the former, will
hereafter work independently. From
She latter, Byron Wilcox has with
irawn, and a co-partner.hip formed
between G. w. Sutton and j. House,
which will continue the business of
the old firm. At present, the directo-
~ of. machinery dealers is as follows:
Good & Brisbine, Empire Mowers,
Norwegian Plows and Jackson Wag-
ms. -
Welff & Wells, Osbourne Harvesters
with the Appleby Binder, and the
New Home Sewing Machine.
Sutton & House, Plano Harvestcrs
and Irvine Binders, Warrior Mowers,
Huber Thresher and Engines, and
,ther kinds of farm machinery.
G. H. Allyn, Mccormick Harvest
ing Machinery.
Mars Bros, Minneapolis Harvesters
md Binders, J. I. Case Threshers and
Engines, Thomas Horse Rakes, and
,ther kinds of farm machinery.
Watson & Leonard, VIM. behring's
Harvesters, Binders and Hsapers,
Deering and Warrior Mowers, Hol-
lingsworth Hay Rakes, Halliday Wind
Mills, Buffalo Pitts Threshers and En-
zines, B. D. Ruford's Plows, Minneso-
Chief Threshers and Engines, Tri-
lmph Seeders, etc.
No doubt there will be additions to
,e made to this list during the year.
If SO the readers of the TRIBUNE will
'e informed of the fact, Those who
watch the reading and advertising
columns of this paper during the sea-
son will have the beauties of the vari-
Gus kinds of machinery pointed out to
them, and will have but little diff
tcutly in determining what machine
they wish to buy.

| says: 1.-The sleeping cars are very pal
aces on wheels. The dining cars are
marvels of beauty, and the coaches
for passengers not riding in sleeping
cars contain all the latest improve
ments, and throughout the whole train
nothing has been overlooked that
would add to the comfort, safety, con-
veniepce and luxurious ease of the
passengers" Parties going east
should bear this Ia mind and take the
Royal Route.
In speaking of the meeting Of the
directors of the insurace company
! which Mr.. Good attended in Mime
apolis, short time ago, we misstated
the name Of the company. Instead of
the "St. Paul Fire and Marine Insur-
ance Company" we should have said,
Minnesota Farmers Mutual Fire In
| surance Association" Mr. Good il
one of the directors, also chairman of
| the executive committee. From him
we learn that the liabilities of the
company have been largely diminished
and assets increased during the past
year, and that the company is now
standing on firmer financial basis
than ever. At the present time the
total amount of assets, including
bonds, mortgages and cash on hand,
| is $152, 1884. The amount of insur-
ance writtenfrom Jan. 1st, to Dec. 3lst,
1859, Is ~, 345, 100, and the amount of
losses paid during the year, for actual
losses, not including expense of ADJUST
ments or any expense, IL $H 1897.
This company is inexceilent standing
and is doing an excellent business.
Farmers wishing insurance will do
well to remember this company and
to call upon Mr.. Good its local director
before obtaining policies elsewhere.

A Russian PEASANTS Boots.

"Shah l speak Of the dress of the
Russian peasantry?" says a correspon-
dent: The rags our peasant wears have
struck all travellers who visited Russia.
Sufficient to say, that boots are consid-
cred as objects OF luxury, and until nc W,
in Little Russia, the girl buys one pair
of boots and must wear them through
out her life. On Sunday, when she goes
to church, she walks barefooted in the
cold mud of the road, and only when
she has arrived at the church she washes
her feet in a pond of water, puts on her
boots, and enters full dressed The
three roubles about one dollar and a
half she has paid for her boots are con
sidered by the peasant as such an i'm
mense amount Of money that his wife
never must expect to indulge in such an
expense for second time during her
life. This instance, together with whs,
l said in preceding letter about arlels
of masons who travel oa foo along
railways, with their boots on their backs
is sufficient to give an idea Of what the
dress of the Russian peasant really is

Red Clouds Gold Mine.
New York Sun.

Ollv the other day Rad Cloud, oncg
the terror of the frontier, sent word to-
Washington that be had found gold
mine on his reservation. and did not.
wish to be disturbed for ten years in
working il
Yet it would be an xraordinary-
change in Indian policy were Red Cloud
really allowed to work his gold mine in
peace. That his tribe holds its reserve
by title as sound as anv estate in fec.
simple in the city OF New York can
hardly be questioned But the practice
of our country has been that, whenever
the land of Indians Is found to be speci--
ally covetable, by coaxing or coercion
it must be transferred to white men,
AS this has been the experience of the
Sioux, no less than of olher tribes, Red
Cloud feels it to be necessary to form
ally request to be let alone Oaly year
or two ago about million acres were
taken from the Utes, because tie land
was valusble for agriculture; but when
vein of precious metal is found ona
reservation, nobody waits for negotia-
ting to get rid of the Indian owners.
but there is general rush Of prospect
ors and diggers upon territory which
the Government has solemnlyr pledged
its word to keep free from INVASION
No power has ever been able. under such
circumstances, to keep the red men from
being driven ont. Red men have hith-
erto had no rights in gold mines which
whites felt bound to respect.
The last Sioux war arose out OF the
intrusion Of gold hunters into the Black
Hills, and the origin Of Chief Josepb's
war cap be traced back. to- the removal
of tile Nez Perces from their homes be-
cause gold was found on their .lands,--

and to save our countrymen from saw

As it is now, Indians may be found

looking upon this last as the source Of
support for the Indians, and prospec.

The Towers of Silence.

In an account OF his visit to Bombay
a Philadelphia Press correspondent says
"The Towers Of Silence" are five in
number and stand in an enclosure meas
ufing about 80, 600 square yards. There
+are:also within this enclosure q house OF
prayer for persons attending a funeral /:
q temple in which the sacred fire is kept
al ways burning, and from which its rays,
escaping through apertures in the wall,
fall upon the towers and well-laid out
and well-eared for garden. In the gar
den is an excellent model of to wer,
which is explained to vlsitsrs by the at
tendants. The corpse OF deceased
Parsee, clothed 10 white. is carried up
the hill on an open bier covered with
white cloth; the male relatives and
friends, all clothed in white, following in
pairs, each pair holding handkerchief
between them. Some prayers having
been said 10 the rest house, the bier is
again taken up and the body conveyed
to one of the towers These towers are
round, massive-looking buildings, With
white plastered walls, the circumference
of the largest OF them being 276 feet and
the height of'lhe wall 25 feet. Al dis
tance of feet from the eiuund there is
door in the wall through which the
corpse bearers push the body, and then
entering themselves place it in its ap
pointed place, The interior Of each tow
er, which is open to the sky, is covered
at height of 25 feet from the ground,
with circular flooring, which slopes
downward on all sides to the center, and
contains numerous ope, grooves or re-
ceptacles for dead bodies.
The cu'er ring of this fl ,oring i set
apart for the bodies of men, second
ring for those of women and the third
or innermost ring for those oil children
At regular distances radiating channels
intersect these rings The body having
been deposited in its place the bearers
retire, and Immediately swarm of yu'-
lures, which birds of prey may always
be seen sitting in dozens on the tops OF
OF the walls, swoop down and strip the
body of every particle of flesh in less
than two hours. After few days the
corpse-bearers return, and, COLLECTING
the bones, which are then perfectly dried,
place them in the central we'll, 45 fee,
wide, where they remain to be decom.
posed by the air and the rain. The
moisture runs off into the ground
through filters of charcoal and sand land
leave nothing Of the human body in the
inside OF the tower but the dry crum-
bling bones.

AT that instant Of time the report Of
pistols, shreks OF pain mingled with the
varied sounds of deadly conflict. came
10 my ears; the desperado above me, in
haste, cast the spear, and then with his
companion rushed 10 the scene OF other
murders, doubtless feeling secure of the
victim left in the well. The lantern hung
on nail about six feet above me. and a.
piece Of rope carelessly dropped from.
what appeared to he a vertical trap
opening outward on the tide waters.
At q glance could see all have de-
scribed, and although wounded in my
eft arm by the spear l pushed the swol.
len body under my foot and sprang to
grasp the rope. Twice I failed; the
third attempt seized the rope and raised
myself to the floor above where l fogsss
on one side OF the well, there was space
bet ween the boards and the floor of
about eight inches high and perhaps
twenty wide,. How l forced myself
through the narrow space, encountered
as. l was, I do not know, for all the
events l have described passed in few
moments although it seemed an age to
me.
l dropped myself down on the out
side into the ripping waters and passed
quietly as possible from pile to pile, un-
der the street and many houses; ]
scarcely stopped to breathe until I found
myself far from the trap.
Exhausted and very weak from loss
Of blood from my wounded arm. crept
to my garfet; late the next morning
when / awoke I could not believe the
above events, except as troubled
dream, until reaching out my hand felt
the weight of the money in my wet coat.
After binding up my wounded arm as
well possible / went out, and IN COM
pany of an honest policeman l visited
the scene Of my nights adventure. As
we carelessly sauntered through the
room not single face met nine that I
could in the least degree recognize.
They had evidently fed away until pos

We parted in silence--our cheeks were wet
With the tears that were past controlling;
We vowed we would never, no never forget.
And those vows at the time were consoling;
But these lips that echoed the sound of mine,
Are as cold as that lonely river,
And that eye, that beautiful spirits shrine,
Has shreuded its fires forever.
And now on the midnight sky look,
And my heart grows full of weeping;
Such star is to me a sealed book,
Some tale of that loved one keeping.
We parted in silence, we parted in tears,
On the banks of that lonely river;
But the odor and bloom of those bygone year
Shall hang DER its waters forever.
