The glitter is beginning to wear
from the trappings of the Forepaugh
show. For instance At Burlington
an alleged pickpocket was marched
into the ring, said to have been appre-
hended by one of the "Official detec-
tivesn travelling with the show. The
affair turns ont to have been a mere
advertising dodge on the part of Fore
paugh, as the ''pickpocket" was after
wards discovered among the circus
employees, helping to load the cars.
Rather small business for so great a
show.
In last weeks issue appeared the
announcement of the death of Edward
| f. Dean, formerly of st. Johnsbury, OF
| Inflammation of the bowels, at Estel-
line. Dakota. His death occurred very
suddenly, after an illness of less than a
week. His son was located twenty
| two miles away and did not reach his
fathers bedside until life was extinct
| He came to that place June 10 and
opened furniture store. I. g. Bron-
son. formerly of East Hardwick, writes
the Caledonian that Mr.. Dean was do
ing well in business, and had made
many friends who regret his sudden
death.

Horse s: callers.

Last night j. J. Mclaughlin had his
fine saddle horse stolen from his stable
The thief pried off the lock from the barn
door, and has successfully escaped arrest
so far. This morning, when Mack discov-
cred his loss, he Immediately notified
Deputy Sheriff Jack Comfy, who inspected
the stable, and taking the trail of the
horse, found that the railroad had been
crossed near the bridge, from thence the
trail went into the foothills, and after fol-
lowing it up some six miles, he discovered
the horse he was in search of in company
with two others, all of which he corraled
and drove into town. The officers suppc-
sitiOn is that the horses had been cached
where he found them by the "rustlers,'
who were either waiting reward for their
return, or trying to get larger band be-
fore they drove them from the country.
Prompt and speedy measures should be
taken to stop this horse stealing in its in
cipiency, and with Mr.. Conly's help we
believe it will be done.

Gen. Crook.

Gen. George Crook is about fifity-three
years of age, but he looks little more than
forty. He is about five feet ten inches
high, wiry as a greyhound, and Can out
ride and out-march any man in the Amer
lean army. 1t is historical fact that he
lived for three days on no other nourish-
ment than tree-bark, during one of his
campaigns against the Indians He has
fair complexion, his hair is straight and
cut short, and he has a large bushy beard
which divides naturally in the centre. Per
sonal fear is unknown to him, but while
he is reckless of his own person, he IS
cautious of exposing his troops unlcs
there is something of importance to lie
achieved thereby. He is of the opinion
that in dealing with the Indians the only
thing is to set one tribe against another
and take his chances. He has never found
any other mode of dealing with them to
be successful, especially with the noun
tain Indians. This accounts for his taking
such large proportion of Indians with
him in his excursion into Mexico-21O
Indians to fifty white soldiers.-C Chicago
Tribune.

ural result. That cattle can be success
fully raised on the frontier when sheep
husbandry would be entirely impractical
BILE, we are willing to admit, but as civili-
zation progresses with its cities, railroads,
trade and commerce, we see the energetic
farmer enclose the broad valleys that line
the creek and river bottoms. Every
available spring will be taken up or en-
closed by ''squatter.' Consequently
sheep men and farmers will own the bot
toms and control the range The exten-
sive cattle man who may have from one
to five thousand cattle running on range
and all that marks the existence of civiliza-
ton is an occasional insignificant branding
corral, and who may make his appearance
twice year-one at branding time and
then again to gather his steers to drive to
drive to the eastern market-and then 90
to some city to live, is poor excuse for
the development of new country. Every
man to his own interests, self-preservation
is the first law of nature. We know it is
for the interest of the cattle man to keen
out sheep and grangers but, as said be-
fore, see the result in other countries, and
you will find that the shepherd and "sons
of toil' have superseded them, just as they
did the adventursome prospectors and
pioneers. The cattle business on large
scale will be superseded by more profta-
BILE industries.

Nineteen Honest Negro W0mleu.

One gentleman told ,nr tliat several
years ago he engaged in the enterprise OF
raising Irish potatoes for tflu N6rtncrn
market. He employed gang OF twenty
negro women to dig and gather the pota-
toes. He was called from the field to the
Clubhouse to attend to some business.
He was absent from the field fora couple
Of hours. On his return he passed
through patch of weeds and stumbled
over an apron filled with bushel O
selected potatoes. He emptied the apron
and calling to the line Of women who
we're digging potatoes, he waved the gar
ment aloft and asked who had lost hel
apron. All the women but one turned
and shook their aprons at him. They
ieered and taunted the thief for the re4t
ofthe day. That evening when they
quit work the apronless woman stoo
under tree until all the other woman
had left the field, every one ofthem taun
ted her as they passed. When they
were all out Of sight she walked up t.
the white man, humbly asked for her
apron and got it. Then she made thf
white man promise not totell, not to be
trav her TO the other negroes, and, on
his passing his word to her, she showed
him where the nineteen honest womeI
had burid twenty bushels Of potatoes
while he was absent.
