More Horse Thief Operations.

The following is from the Mineral
Argus, of Maiden, and Anderson and
his cowboys are doubtless the same par
ties who made the "haul' down the
Missouri, of which SO much has been
heard. AS nothing is said about lynch
ings, this part Of the reports that nave
reached us may be all a myth:
Reece Anderson, Of the firm of Stuart,
Kohrs & Co., accompanied by several
we'll known cowboys, pursued and over
took a number Of horse thieves who
were driving a large band of horses into
the Canadian possessions, at the Little
Rocky mountains, regaining % head OF
stock. Two of the thieves escaped
mounted, while five or six succeeded IN
finding secure hiding places. TITS well
known that Reece and his brave assocl-
ates did not find their retreat, as there
would have been a few of ''some ones
darlings'' compelled to stretch hemp.

regard to the differences between the
commissioner and the delegate over MI.

suggested that the question Of bound

that the points in dispute being settled,
the commissioner, secretary and dele
gate would use their united efforts to
carry the bill through next session, and
thus not only open the country up to
settlement but provide some permanent
provision for these Indians, the recent

starvation shocked the country.

Gin Palaces i'm London.

More than one-fourth of the earnings
of the deniZens of the slums goes over
the bars of the public houses and gin
palaces. To study the dark phase of
this burning question let us take the
districts from which have drawn the
facts and figures have submitted to
your readers in previous articles.
On Saturday night in the great
thoroughfare adjacent there are three
corner public houses which take as
much money as the whole of the other
shops on both sides of the way put to-
gether. Butchers, bakers, green-gro-
GERS, clothiers, furniture dealers, all the
caterers for the wants of the populace,
are open till late hour; there are hun
dreds of them trading round and about,
but the whole lot do not take as much
money as three publicans- is a fact
ghastly enough in all conscience. Enter
the public houses and you will see them
crammed. Here are artisans and la
borers drinking away the wages that
ought to clothe their little ones.
Here are the women squandering
the money that would purchase
food for the lack of which their
children are dying. One group rivets
the eye of an observer at once. 1t con-
sists of an old gray-haired dame, a
woman of forty. and a girl of about
nineteen with baby in her arms. All
these are in a state which is best de-
scribed as ''maudlin"-they have fin
ished one lot of gin. and tho youngest
woman is-ordering another round. Ii
is great-grandmother, grandmother,
