Captain Emmett Crawford, ordered F. o. Shaw to leave the San Carlos reservation by July 1st. Mir. Shaw was the accredited agent of William Griffith, for the delivery of beef cattle with which to ration the Indians. Capt. Crawford charges that Shaw eontravened the spirit of the contract by offering or delivering some stags. Mir. Griffith the contractor denles that the alleged animals were stags. and asserts that they were oxen which had long been free from tue meniaT servi- tude of the yoke and, in the interim, had acquired much new flesh and an abundance of tallow. The question when taurine males should be castrat- cd in order to become steers and avoid being chased as stags, and unfit food for Indians is momentuS one and should be settled without delay. Mir. Shaw, although of an obliging dispo- sition, did not leave the reservation, July 1st, as ordered.

U. s. Marshal Wheeler, of Illinois, whose official acts have been dug into by the Springer committee, is left without even a tinge of reputable character to swear by. Here is a sample of how the marshal dishonest ly raked in money from the pockets of uncle Sam.
 Louis Vetter was on Marshal Wheel CTS criminal docket SIP times in four years as appearing before the commis- sioner to guard prisoners. Vettsr was ianitor 2f i building in Springfield and 'haI leen such for twenty-five years. He swore he didn't think in that period he had been before the commissioner more than twenty times certainly not hundred times-and that he never received any pay for his services.
 Congressman Stewart Republican, here expressed the opinion it was un. necessary to proceed any further in the matter. He read from Wheeler s written statement, showing that Vince Ter admitted everything charged. The affair could not be made worse by any amount of testimony than the marshal admitted.

The Rio Grande, at last accounts, was falling fast. June 2Sth 1t fell eighteen inches. Summer rains were expected to commence at the head ot that stream, in Colorado, about the 25th, and cause the great accumula- tion of snow in the vicinity to melt rapidly consequently fears are en- tertained that during the first fifteen or twenty days of July the river will show as great volume of water as at any previous time during the year. Having been familiar with the vaga- ries of the Rio Grande for twenty-five years, we cannot entertain that opln- ion, as summer rains have never caused it to overflow its banks. The receding of the water, aslast reported will so diminish the volume in the bed of the stream, as to enable 1t to carry the 'srise" without further det- riment to persons living in the valley through which it runs.

The Richmond, Virginia, Dispatch gives tongue to half column of bosh in regard to the heroic action of Gen. Crook in the Sierra Madre, Mexico, and his subsequent management of the Indsans of the San Carlos Agency. ghe editor charges that the frontier press makes "false and malignant statements concerning Gen. Crook" How does the Dispatch know that the statements are false and malignant? The frontier press have no object in maligning Gen. Crook, nor have they done so; but they are interested that the facts should be known, and for that reason their statements have not proved acceptable to him and some of h,s military friends. The article re- ferred to is pregnant with false state- ments, and are so pronounced here by those who have read the Dispatch $ editorial. We can not credit that the editor made the statements referred to upon his own motion; evidently he has been ear-wiged.

THE INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT

The drift of opinion at the lndepen- dent Conference, in New York, was clearly adverse to the plan of putting third ticket in the field, providing the Democrats made an acceptable nomination. What would be an ac- ccptable nomination was indicated with sufficient distinetness by those who addressed the meeting, and by the favor with which their remarks were received. Governor Cleveland and Senator Bayard were the only names mentioned at the meeting, al- though others were included in the phrase "any mobjectionable nomina- tion." Governor Cleveland was the preference of most of the gentlemen present. Senator Bayard was the first choice of the minority, but either ofthese would be acceptable to the Indepen6 6ents as represented at the conference, The chance of an objec- tiDpahlm hination was fully taken iutoTSs1nT and duly provided for Inthat event there was no division oi sentiment as to the expediency and necessity of nominating a third ticket aud whether the Democratic nomina ton be acceptable or otherwise, there was entire unanimity in the opinion that an organlzation must be effected and new convention or conference called after the Democrats shall have made their nominations, in order t( give authoritative expression to tho Independent opinion of the country and to furnish rallying point. Int meeting was imbued with the seiri which precedes and ushers in grea political changes.

Inasmuch as articles intending to cast oppro5rium upon individuals too Frequently appear in newspapers, un- der nom de plume, with the view of shielding the author from retrlbutive justice, would it not be we'll for the

The San Francisco Chronicle, of June 27th, contained the following in its special tclegraphic news, from Washington, D. C.: Thus far not a single bill affecting any of the Terri tories has passed Congress, though many have been presented. The bill to grant additional power to Territo- rial Legislatures will not be heard of again. The bill to give an additional judge to each Territory has been suc- cessfully antagonized by Senator Gar land in the Senate and the bill to seg- regate the Deer creek coal fields from the White Mountain Indian Reserva- tion in Arizona, has gone over till next session, through the action of Senator German and the influence of its opponents. There is an almost ab- solute certainty of the ultimate suc- cess of this latter measure, however, as it has great sympathy in both houses, and recently the Secretary of the Interior said it was case in which speculation would have to stand back and give poor men a chance. Donald Robb, of Arizona, has been pushing this measure since January, and he is still confident of success. He says it will be among the first of the meas. ures to be considered in December"

EELZGI9y AND THE REVOLVER
 lN ARKANSAS.

Leon Dishowan and Pete Lewis, at Hot Springs, Arkansas, few Sundays ago, had misunderstanding over the right claimed by both to escort the minister's daughter home after church. This is matter which often causes trouble between young men, but in the North it is usually settled out of church. In the more impulslve South, however, it is hard to wait for the benediction. While the sermon was in progress of delivery, Lewis went quietly into the young ladys pew, whereupon pishowan, who was there already, pulled out q revolver and opened fire, Lewis was ready with his pistol, and at once replied. The firing alarmed the congregation, which dispersed hurriedly through the doors and windows. The young men were disarmed, probably by the cler. gyman, who, as parent of the young lady, had to remain and see that the fighting for her was fair, and they agreed to have it out with fists.

 Talmagek sermon, recently deliv- cred in the Brooklyn Tabernacle. en- titled "Bosslsm in Politics" is given a wide circulation by religious and sec ular newspapers. The reverend gen. tleman recommends to the American people the casting aside of political shackles, the cutting loose from the political machine or dlctation of party bosses, and to cease to heed the old and threadbare scare crow "that the country will be ruined if this or that party succeeds at the ballot box" which is thrust before the eyes of voters on the approach of every na- tional election. Talmage is particu- larly severe upon professed politicians and truly says "thcy never did any thing but get office and make trouble. They got us into the four years war and left the people to fight it out and command peace.' Professed politi- clans he says have again and again ruined our American commerce and left it to hard-handed and besweated industry to overcome the financial difficulty. From the foregoing and in view of Talmage's recent Republi- canism, it is evident that he is not for Blaine and has joined the Independ- ents who with one accord, as of yore, refuse to be comtorted by boss rule.

Vanderbilt Is crazy over the subject OF fast
driving. l have never seen such man.
The fact that he was recently thrown out of
his buggy and nearly killed does not seem
to have produced the slightest effect upon
him. was driving up the road the othor
day behind pair of trotters which belonged
to another man. when we heard shout and
the clatter of hoofs behind US. Already our
horses were going about as fast as ever
knew them to, and | have ridden bshind
them in 2:3l by the watch. OTIS Vanderbilt"
exclaimed the other man, turning his head
slightly and then laying the braid across the
trotters, sending them out for all they werS
worth. took hold of the side Of tho buggy
and held on. The race was pretty hot, and
had sort Of vague feeling of uncertainty ai
to how far we should be thrown IL eithel
animal were to strike stone.
Pretty soon it occurred to mo to look
around at the face Of the man who was try
ing to get PAST us. What an expression!
Tho eyes were fixed in their sockets, look
ing straight at the 1anks cf the horses, the
thick coarse lips were tightly drawn, the
deep lines on either side of the nose were
sunken and powerfully marked, the temples
were intersected with swollen veins the
brow was corrugated in an anxious frown,
and never in my life saw such another pic
ture OF low, brutal excitement 1t was the
tension Of the engineer who crowds on the
steam and no longer caras whether the boiler
bursts or not. Vanderbilt would have rid

horses, his buggy and himself to smithereens
in doing it. Fortunately for him DO Was able

CHASTITY Work in Photography.
[Chicago Times.

"Have you had much to do in the way Of
photographing dead peopleF
"a great deal In fact, at one time made
specially Of that line and I'll tell you how
! cainc to do it When I first came to
Chicago, business was dull, and got poor.
One day, when pushed to my wits ends for
money, l was struck with an idea which
have followed out successfully ever since.
The death columns Of the morning news
papers were carefully gone over, and when
the funeral was advertised from an humble
neighborhood was usually sure OF a s. bill.
visited the houses and offered to photo
graph their dead Out OF a dozen visits
would probably get one job. In couple OF
years my reputation grew, and finally
came to be almost ns frequently sent for rs
the minister. Only last June q messenger
came from South Chicago family, desiring
mo to photograph their dying father. When
l got there he was too far gone, and
had to wait Half an hour after the
old gentleman had breathcd his last, and
before he became stiff we had him sitting in
chair, with his eyes held open with stiff
mucila9e between the lids and brow, and his
legs crossed. He made very good picture.
once photographed two children-sisters--
who had died the same day Of diphthoria-
They were posed with their arms about each
others necks. An Irish family living in
Bridgeport called on me about year ago to
take a picture of their dead SOFIA young
man-with his high beaver hat on. 1t was
necessary 10 take the stifrened corpse out OF
the ice-box and prop it against the wall. The
effect was ghastly but the family were do
lighted, and thought the hat lent lifoliko
appearance to the picture. Sometimes and
at the suggestion Of the family, have filed
out the emaciated cheeks OF dead people
with cotton to make them look plump. The
eyes are nearly always propped open with
pins or mucilage, bat when people can afford
to engage an artist it is an easy matter to
paint the eyes sfterward Some time ago
took picture Of dead man who had been
scalded to death. II was full length photo
graph, and an artist was engaged to fill out
burns OH his face and then make copy in
oil. For that piece Of work received $50
and the artist was paid $500
