VANCOUVER, March 265h.-For some time
General Miles has been aware of the pres.
ence Of certain murderers snd despersdoes
among the Moses Indians and other tribes in
the Colville region, and to make sure of their
capture ordered a secret expedition in Feb
rusry into their country, expecting them to
be in their camps in midwinter, feeling COM
paratively safe. The command left Fort
Spokane February %, 1884, with Lieutenant
Bomas, of the First Cavalry, in command,
with Al. Chapman as scout and guide. The
officer, by strategy, captured Cut" La
Hempt, Win Nun, Smoot, Null, Twee,
Lock, Comp., LaPoor, E. Mas and Michel
all murderers and desperadoes of the blood
last kind. They were brought into Fort
Spokane, put under guard, and will all be
TUNED over 70 the civil authorities for trial.
Moses deserves some credit for doing all in
his power to make the surprise and capture
complete, having long sincs desired their ar
rest and punishment.

more than twenty years il my family, that regard
them as being superior to any have ever used, or
have seen used. have not had them constantly,
and had to try others, AMI nave tried good var-
ETY., but have never had any to act promptly,
profitably and nicely McIane's. | have used
them on myself wife and children, with the most
gratifying results.
For children, having used them on my own with
such easy and happy effect, would recommend
them to one and ali. These Pills do the woIk-do
it promptly, do it well, and leave ill effects be-
hind.
As a bile remover, as a liver corrector, fore
runner preparing the system for quinine, there is
no pill or medicine equal to DR.. C. McLane's Cele

Russell Record: Russell county har-
vested 50,862 acres of Winter wheat
which yielded 1 ,250,668 bushels, or an
average Of24 bushels to the acre, and
2, 4O4 acres Of Spring wheat yielding 49,
$50 bushels an average Of 20 bushels per
acre. About 5000 acres of corn were
planted which viii yield from 40 to 70
bushels an acre, and besides a large
acreage Of rye, oats, millet and sorghum.
The corn crop is now assured; a heavy
frost would damage but little Of it. Rus
sell county challenges the world.
An Usage county correspondent speaks
as follows relative to the crops IN this
county: The late rains have secured a
heavy crop Of corn for this part Of the
State. The corn is rather later than
usual, yet there is plenty Of moisture in
the soil to mature the latest corn.
Wheat is turning out well, yet consider
able was wasted in the field, and a
chance for more to be damaged by being
but up in large quantities in granerles
before it went through the sweat ;
and in many cases the wheat was damp
when put in. Oats is turning out about
one-third Of a crop compared with the
two previous years. I saw a report
abroad a few weeks ago that the oats
was a full average crop. Such reports
should not have been published, as 1t
is a damage to the producer to have
such false reports 60 out
FL Dorado Republican: Sylvester Mar
shall, whose farm is on the Walnut, a
short distance above town, handed US
the other day two punches of German
millet, which certainly show prodi-
gious growth. He soWed five or six acres
in a choice piece of land, and the entire
field is almost a solid growth of millet.
The specimens handed US were taken up
by the roots. The heads were Of usual
size, the blades being very thick on the
stalks, the average stalk being as big
around as ones little finger. Possibly
there are a hundred perfect heads in the
two punches all nearly the same size, the
stalks being nearly the same length; sew
eral of the larest ones measuring seven
feet six inches in length. Such growth
is simply marvellous, and one might
search a lifetime for specimen grOWths to
equal these. We expect to make ar
rangements to send the largest sample
to the worlds exposition to be held at
New Orleans.

ed IN American history. 1t was, how
ever, Intlmated that at Exeter the future
statesman eVlnced more talent for practi-
cal affairs than for the details of scholar
ship.
In speaking Of the school-boy traits of
Daniel Webster, DR.. Abbot mentioned
an unexpected an insuperable aversion
to defamation. As the boy Is father to
the man. Is might have been supposed
that the lad who was destined to be pre-
eminent IN OratOry would have exhibited
an early fondness for defamation, but
no persuaslOns could overcome his natur-
al difidence."
DR.. Abbot remarked that 'there was a
popular misrepresentation with regard to
Webster's scholarship. 1t was generally
believed that Webster was a dull and
unsuccessful pupil, but such was not the
fact. His mind rarely seemed to be oc-
cupled with his studies. His large, lust
rousy thoughtful eyes were gazing about
the room, or looking out Of the window;
but at recitation the pupil who appeared
not to be engaged in studious preparation
always acquitted himself well. He often
showed a far better grasp Of the subject
than those who were more familiar with
the minor points Of scholarship"
While DR.. Abbot was telling these
anecdotes his tones became more earnest,
and his eyes lighted up with a glow
which these agreeable reconechOns
kindled. It was quite obvious that age
had not yet wholly quenched the fires
Of earlier manhood.
Heartily thanking him for his cOurte-
sizes, and for the rare pleasure which his
conversation had afforded, 1 babe the
venerable teacher gOOd-by.
The next time 1 saw him he was lying
in his coffin. An expression Of sweet
and childlike serenity rested upon his
features, as though the Divine hand had
set upon his face the seal Of a happy and
Well-spent life.

Do they let you take light
When you go alOft at n1ght2
Tell me, little sailor boy, for I'd like to know
Little boys of every kind, tell me how you know
That t is time ere school begins rather III 70
grow.
Does the pain increase so fast
That I is terrible at lastY
Don't you quickly cOnValesce when too late 70 90?
Do you think am dunce2
Was mt ! a school boy OnceI
Tell me, all you little boys, for I'd like 70 know.
