There are numerous reports of Indian
troubles among the cattle and sheep men
along the Tongue and Powder rivers, it
being asserted that q hunter on Ash
creek, a tributary of Powder river, was
found dead in his bed, shot through the
back, and from appearances OF things in
the cabin it was surmised that he must
have been giving the Indians a square
1ueal, ana as d reward IOF Ills hospitality
he received the bullet that cost him his
life. The C%heyennes have mostly left
the Keogh reserve and have set out for
the head of Tongue river, where they
join the balance of the tribe. They
muster about 800 fighting men, and can
do great damage before they are forced
to lay down their arms. There is an ev-
ident determination among the ranchers
and stock men to take the law in their
own hands, should the trouble wax
greater, and determination at the hands
of these hardy pioneers will be about
what these hostiles will get. The River
Grows have joined forces with the Chey-
ennes, and reports are daily promulgat-
ed of the depredations they have COM
mitted. determination, root and
branch, is the only settler of the Indian
question: Yellowstone Journal.

The Result of a Personal"

A funny story is told of a lady who
was foolish enough to answer a person
aln in a daily paper, which stated that
a young man was DESTROYS of making
the acquaintance of a young omar
with a view to matrimony. She carried
on a long correspondence with the adj
vertiser, taking, however, the precau-
ton to have her letters copied by a con-
fidential friend. She always sent the
copies and retained the originals. Her
answers came regularly, but her cores
pendent was quite as cautious as she was
herself, for he always employed a type
writer, and she had no means of becom-
ing familiar with his handwriting. Fin
ally, after a good deal of gush, a meeting
was agreed upon between the pair, and
the lady was somewhat surprised when
she arrived at the place appointed, to see
her brother wearing in his button hole
the flower which was decided upon as
the Of Identification. They both
acknowledged their folly and INDUCED
in a hearty laugh and went home togeth-
er, fully resolved to have nothing more
to do with these traps to catch the I'M
wary, which are called personals. =

Dear Sir-If any person doubling the
merits of DR.. Halliday's Blood Pulitzer
and Throat Gargle for curing hereditary
scrofulous sore throat will call on me T

that is claimed for it. [ am a married
woman, with family, and have been af-
fected all my life with liberated sore
throat and mouth, the palate being en-
tirely Gated away. AT times it would be
worse than others, and [ was never free
from it until now by taking the above
remedies. When / first commenced
taking it my weight was only ninety
five pounds; my weight is now 127, and
[ never felt better in my life. [ can also

Being Swindled and Beng Charitable.

"I'd rather give man fifty dollars
than be swindled out of five" said Gilly-
flower the other day.
well, that's strange. What's your
reason for such a conclusion?n
"You see, if I give one fifty dollars,
that's put down on the books to 'chari-
ty.' That looks we'll. The angels look
over the bookkeeper's shoulder and
smiles sweetly as the words to charity
are entered. But if I am swindled out
of five dollars, the angels go off behind
the barn and laugh, and the bookkeeper
heaves a sigh as he enters, To blamed
old fool who will eve learn anything,

concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this wAsrr Of

one third TO one half OF the usual cost OF
solid cases. This process is OF the most
simple nature, as follows: plate OF nickle

soldered one on each side. The three ara
then passed between polished steel rollers.

persons having perished from snake
bites in 1880 and 1850 in 1881. Re-
wards for the killing of venomous
reptiles have been offered, but this
measure has been found to give in
sufficient protection, and the adop-
ton throughout India of an organized
system for the determination OF all
dangerous kinds of snakes is urged.
1t was at one time believed, accord
ing to DR.. Keller, that the opening OF
the SueZ Canal would be followed by a
rapid and extensive interchange of
fish between the Mediterranean and
the Red Seas, but such has not been
the case. Some of the smaller Medi-
terranean fish have been found in the
Red Sea, and for some unknown rea-
son the tide of migration appears to
take that direction in preference to the
other. The pearl oyster is said to be
now moving toward the Mediterra-
mean, with very slow progress, but in
considerable numbers.
In Germany, the increasing con-
sumption of rice has led Prof. Volt, as
well as DR.. Konig, to envestigate the
question of the relative nutritive
value of this article and other kinds of
food-especially potatoes. The con-
clusion reach is that rice is a very
efficient food, while potatoes largely
consumed fail to satisfactorily nourish
the body, making the muscles weak
and the blood watery. DR.. Konig esti-
mates that when equal quantities of
the two articles are considered, rice
has four times the value of potatoes in
really nutritive properties. A further
advantage of rice is that its quality is
always the same, while great variation
in potatoes is caused by the state of
the weather during their growth.

The discovery of a so-ealled lignitied
snake in Brazil caused sensation
among scientific men a few months
ago. The specimen was found between
the bark and wood of a tree, and if it
was ever a snake the animal structui e
had been entirely replaced by a woody
growth, DIR. Gray, to whom the find
has lately been shown, thinks 1t more
probable that 1t was produced 10y the
