How to Handle a Gun.

The first thing to do when you go out
cunning with another boy is to guard
yourself against accident. The best way
to do this is to shoot the other boy be-
fore he has time to load, his gun. Then
take both guns to the nearest creek and
throw them in. Throw the powaer and
and shot in after them. If you have any
matches about your clothes throw them
in also. Then start at once and go home
as fast as ever you can. And if you are
under eighteen years young, the chances
are, even with these precautions, that
you will get both legs and a section of
your back filled to the brim with bird
hot before you rea Oh home.

FOR FEMININE READERS.


a Nebraska girl writes home from Cal
ifornia that the stories about rich and
speedy marriages for women in that FL
Dorado are pure humbug. There are
more men than women, but in her
opinion most of them have run away
from marital bonds elsewhere. "A
woman, " she says. is of less consequence
here than anywhere in the world. The
Chinese do most of the washing and
housekeeping, and work at about the
same wages that girls and women would
find necessary. There is mighty little
marrying and giving in marriage here.
The men don't seem to be anxious about
it, and the girls are so well up to snuff
that they won't encourage man till they
know all about his former life" She is
going back to Nebraska.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Th publication
of the interview with Judge Field, in which,
while declining to be candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination, he eX-
presses willingness to accept if nominated,
has been fully canvassed to-day in public
circles. Among those speaking enthusiast
cally for Judge Field were Senator Vest,
Congressman Graves and Ex-Governor Wood
son, of Missouri; Congressmen Money, OF
Mississippi; Dunn, of Arkansaw; Barbour,
of Virginia, and Reed, of Georgia.
Interviews with large number OF public
men will be obtained tomorrow and opinions
pro and con prepared for publication. The
objection to Judge Field is almost wholly
confined to the fact that his decisions have
rendered him unpopular in California, and
Fields friends freely admit this to be true.
Sentiment is very much divided as between
various aspirants, and there is but little crys-
talization so far evident upon any one man.
The withdrawal of Senator elect Payne is a
great disappointment to the Democrats, who
favor the Ohio tariff platform, and the hope
is expressed that Payne may be induced to
change his determination. This, however, is
not likely. Congressman Paige, Of Ohio,
whowas mentioned as authority for the state
ment that Payne had not, and would not
Withdraw, was called on to-day by DIR. Mum
ford, proprietor of the Kansas City Times, ac-
companied by ex-Congressman Franklin and
Congressman Graves, to inquire whether he
had received dispatch, or was in possession
of any letter or documents upon which to
predicate his alleged denial of the authenticity
of Col. Payne's interview with Munford.
Paige stated he was not responsible for the
publication of the denial, and admitted
he had not received any such
letter, dispatch or documents. He said he
was run to death and called up at all hours
of the night by reporters inquiring about the
matter, and appeared much excited. He adj
mitted, however, that there was much disap-
pointment at Payne's withdrawal, and hoped
| something would intervene to induce Payne
made that Page preferred Tilden, but did not
think he would accept if nominated, and
therefore favored Payne.
FITZ JOHN PORTER.
The impression prevails in congressional
circles that the Fitz John Porter bill, now
lying on the speakers table, amended by the
senate, will not be acted upon until
after the presidential nominations are made
The question whether the president will ap-
prove the Bill largely depends in the opinion
of Democratic congressman upon his nomi
nation at Chicago. If nominated he viii
not approve the bill; if defeated he will ap
prove it, therefore the friends of Porter be-
lieve it better to let the bill rest until these
events are decided. If nominated anG
elected, and the bill passes next session
there is little fear of presidential disap

THE DANVILLE RIOT.
A Member Of the State Senate and a
Republican Gives His Version
of the Affair,

WASHINGTON, April 4.-General w. C.
Wickham, member of the Virginia senate,
was examined by the DanviIle committee to-
day. Since 1865 he was Republican,, and
was so still. Since the negroes had acquired
the right of suffrage, there had been no un-
just discrimination against them by the laws
of Virginia. The witness thought there had
been no unlawful combination against the
colored people, nor had they been threatened
with discharge, as far as he knew, for not
voting as their employers wished. During
a cross-examination by Senator Sherman,
witness said, at the time he joined the Re
publican party, the mass of the white people
in Virginia, were unquestionably Democrats,
and the Republican party was then in a
political sense, considered the friend of the
negro. 1t was natural colored people should
join the Republican party when the Re-
adjuster party was organized. The Repubi
cans were divided. Witness opposed the
reputation debt. The witness was invited
to become candidate against the coalition
party on the ground that from his known
position as a Republican he would carry that
portion of the colored vote.
Is there not strong instructive feeling
among the clored people that their rights are
not safe in the hands of the Democratic
party9
think that is fact, and I think it is
proper, Mr. Sherman, that 1 should say it is
a fact brought about by the false teachings of
designing men. 1t is more a feeling that
the Republicans are more liberal to them
than the Democrats would be-"
''Now, don't you think if the Democratic
party would convince the colored people
that their rights would be secured under the
control and management of the Democrats,
they would divide the colored vote?"
''Unquestionably. think that could be
contrived, but it would be a most difficult
thing in party of men who want them to
vote solidly in one way, telling them all the
time the Democrats would oppress them.'
''Why should not the Democrats then vote
with the Republicans if there is no issue of
that kind?''
"Why should they not break down the
color line?n
eyes, and vote with the Republicans and
divide up themselves?'
eff you will allow me to go back will tell
you that is just exactly what L have been
working for since 1865. 1t has been the de-
sire of my life to divide the white people and
have the political parties composed of both.
1t would be most fortunate for both races if
it could be done.'

made their crossing three miles northwest Of
town, calling it Prairie Junction. Then the
Sioux City line inaugurated little game of
bluff They surveyed and began the con-
struction of what they named their Black
Hills branch, from Heron lake west nearly
parallel to the Southern Minnesota
survey, and from one to eight
miles off. This was done in 1879,
and was carried on by the Sioux City people
until Woodstock, point just twelve miles
distant from Pipestone City, and forty-four
miles from Heron Lake was reached, when
they all at once got tired and quit, leaving
the Southern Minnesota to continue their
line at their leisure to Flandreau, D. T., and
beyond. Since its completion the Woodstock
road has been operated without any other
idea than as local line, having no connec-
ton with any other line, and of course not
being able to do any of the Pipestone trade.
Recently, owing in a''great measure to the eff
forts of the Close Bros, some
wealthy gentlemen who have bought
large tracts Of land in Pipestone
county, the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha company, successors to the st. Paul
d Sioux City and also of the Sioux City &
st. Paul company, has decided to at once be-
gin the extension of this Black Hills branch
to Pipestone City, twelve miles, and such ex-
tension will be done at once. This will make
very nice thing for Huron Lake, as it will
give the branch very much more trade in
both passengers and freight
The beautiful sheet of water from which
the village is named lies about half mile
east of it, and is from one and one-haf to
three miles wide and fifteen miles
long. 1t is delightful body of
water, well stocked with all kinds
of fish, and teeming with all kinds of water
fowl. Recently party of three hunters
killed in one day eleven dozen canvas back
ducks, and a number of geese and other
water fowl. This locality is also great
meeting point for prairie chicken sports
men, as the birds in their season are Won
derfully thick here. In view of the fine
shooting and fishing here, as well as the fact
that the railroad junction would furnish some
considerable trade, in 1879 Messrs. Chapman
d Drake built neat little hotel here, called
the Chapman, which is at present under the
management of G. E. Marsh, and which fur
nishes a splendid resort for the hundreds Of
sportsmen who visit this section.
The main dependence of the place is, of
course, upon agriculture, although large
business is done in hay pressing, and large
tow mill is kept busy preparing tow from fax
straw. This institution is owned by j. T.
Smith, and ships two car loads per day. Just
now the farmers are beginning their seeding
and the place is very quiet, except for the
