STARVING INDIANS.

SALT LAKE, Sept 2,--The following
adyiccs have been received from Helena,
NJ. T.: A special agent was recently
sent out by Gov. Crosby to inquire into
the condition Of the Piegan Indians. This
gentleman las returned and reports that
the Indians (between 1000 and 5000
in number) are dying from the effects OF
gradual starvation, at the rate Of about
thirty per mtnth. The men aud women
are gaunt and spiritless and the children
are emaciated All are 50 weakened 10y
the lack of sufficient food for the past
two years that dreadful suffering and
death will occur shortly. The appropri.
alton for this year permits the agent to
issue only two pounds Of beef and three
pounds of bad -four per week to each
person, which is entirely inadequate to
support even well people. The Govern
or. in communication to the Secretary o1
the Interior, reports an unnatural and in
human state of things existing, and call'
upon the Secretary to assume the rcspon
sibility of issuing full rations until Con
gress meets in december, when propel
proyisions will doubtless be made.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-lndian Com
missioner Price to day directed that 100,
600 pounds of beef and other articles b
sent to the starving Piegans. These vii
last until Marcel. He will ask Congress
to make an additional appropriation TO
a period extending from March to til
| end Of the fiscal year.

DON'T DO IT.

Some recent cases Of land jumping in
this vicinity have created a commotion
among the settlers and we hear rumors
Of an organization to deal in summary
manner with claim Jumpers. For the
fair name and fame Of Walla Walla val-
ley We hope that the threats Of violence
floating IN the air are the idle fic,ions OF
diseased brain Claim jumping is some
thing we never countenanced, in fact we
are satisfied that the loss OF our official
head may be in large part attributed to
the false reports made BY would-be claim
jumpers, whose efforts to obtain valuable
pieces of land without paying for the i'm
provements ON them were rendered abor-
tive by us. Nor have We ever upheld
mob law or counseled the resort to VIC
lence to defeat the aims Of land pirates
Courts and officials are frequently toe
slow, but they are generally sure. 1t Il
better to suffer the few ills which follow
obedience to law than TO feel the sting
of conscience made numerous and activ'
by participation in the proceedings of Wig
lance committees. W. Unton.

Mr.. Alfred 7. Beall, of Lewiston, came
in from the line of the Utah 4 Northern
on Saturday, where he has been engaged
as an engineer in the employ Of the
Union Pacific company. Mr.. Beall is
quite familiar with the proposed line down
Snake river from Burnt river to Lewis
ton, having been one Of the engineers
who made the surveys through the can
yon. He says that the road is quite
practicable and would be of comparative
" easy construction, as the most difficult
portion of the work will consist Of blast
ipp off the cliffs ard hill sides into the
r,ver There will be no cuts to make
and no snow sheds necessary, as the snow
fall is always light. He thinks that the
0. S. l.. will be ultimately extended on
that line. Mr.. Beall left for Lewiston
last evening to rejoin his family, whom
he has not seen for several month";

MUD THROWING.

The Democratic papers have commence
ed throwing mud at the Hon. I. 4. Sing
User. This indicates that he is popular;
that there is strong probability of his
nomination in the Republican convention.
To them he is dangerous man, and this
onslaught is for the purpose of prevent
ing his nomination, well knowing that he
will be hard man to beat at the election
in November Boise Repubttcan.
Just as we announced last week. The

Tho Advertiser has received an unus- |

attention Of the solid men of Boston,
who are evidently supposed not to have

since the recent pool meeting in Chicago
that "humid monsoons Of the Orient

Of one Of the roads named, aud, perhaps,
it is the duty Of Boston as sanitary pre-
caution to help the ache and the remedy

the Lolo pass, crossing the Snake and
Columbia rivers, running along tho Yaki.
ma, Snoqualmie and Snshomish rivers to
the harbor Of 1uialip on Puget Sound.
There is poetry in these names, and there
is eloquence in the description Of the
"latent resources" Of the route Listen:
"The broad basin Of the Columbia, bloom
ing in nutritious bunch grass, affords gen
ial range to stock. Cattle and sheep
thrive aud develop; thick, heavy hides
aud fine wool constitute rich factor il

DEATH OF MRS. EDISON.


THE CELEBRATED INvENToR's BRIEF CoURTsHT
AND HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Mrs. Mary Stillwell Edison, wife of tho in
ventor, Thomas Alva Edison, died suddenly
at her homo in Menlo Park, n. j., a few days
ago. She was 20 years of age, and leaves
surviving her three children. The story Of
her marriage to Mr.. Edison is sngulary
strange and romantic one. When he first
formed her acquaintance he was about 2j
years Of age. lie had just invented the chem
ical telegraph, by means of which could be
transmitted, lie claimed, on a single wire,
5000 words minute The telegraph, not
withstanding this, however, became subserv-
lent to the Morse system. While working on
the chemical telegraph he employed several
young women to punch the holes in the paper
Among them was Miss Mary Stillwell. One
day he WAS standing behind her chair exam
lining telegraphic instrument.
Mr.. Edison, remarked Miss StillwelI, sud
denly turning round, Il can always tell when
you are behind or near me-"
How do you account for that p mechani-
cally asked Mr.. Edison, still absorbed in his
work
Il don't know, am sure" she quietly an
swered, but seem to feel when you are
near me-"
Miss Stillwell," said Mr.. Edison, turning
round now in his turn and looking his inter
| locutor in the face, I've been thinking con-
siderably of you OF late, and if you are will
ing to havo mo I'd like TO marry you"
You GstOnish me, exclaimed Miss Still
| well. Il never"
| ~ know you never thought would be your
wooer, interrupted Mr.. Edison, "but think
over my proposal, Miss Stillwell, and talk it
over with your mother" Then he added, in
the same OIL hand, business like way, as though
he might be experimenting upon now mode
of courtship Let me know as early as pos
sible, as if you consent 10 marry me, and your
mother is willing, We can be married next
| Tuesday"
This was the extent of Mr.. Edison's court
ship. 1t is hardly necessary to add that the
highly favored lady laid the abrupt proposal
before her mother.
Ma has consented, she told Mr. Edison
the next day.
IAN right, was the reply, I'VE will be mar
ried week from to-day'
And so it was. The two were married in a
week and day from the beginning of Mr..
Edison's novel and precipitate courtship. In
connection with his marriage however, a sto-
ry is told quite as singular, but fully in keep
ing with the ono already given touching his
courtship. 1t is said that directly following
the marriage ceremony he entered his labora-
tory in his wedding suit, and, hastily throw
ing his coat on q bench, began to work.
why, surely you are not going to work on
your wedding day - demonstrated his chief
assistant.
Suppose it is p he answered quickly, set
ting to work with renewed zeal, "the Gold and
Stock company don't care for that. They
want their instruments to morrow, and they've
got to have EN-, marriage or no marriage &c
here goes"
The wedding trip of Mr.. Edison ran into
tho mysteries of inventions. His welded life
however, is said to have been a sngulArly
| happy one

Such a man has just died in eastern Maine
as Charles Reade would have delighted in
seizing upon and building up a thrilling 70
nance around. In the little community of
the Aroostook county plantations where
he spent tho last years of his life he was an
object of mystery and suspicion. just be-
fore his death he allowed the attendants to
remove from his left hand the mitten and the
rubber casing that he had always worn, and
it was seen that the fourth finger and part
of the side of the hand were missing. The
other three fingers wero cut OFF ut the third
Joint, and there WAS round hole through
the palm of the hand. Only the priest who
was with Maurice Fitzgerald when life passed
away knows the story of that mutilated hand,
but the sight of it has started endless speou-
lation. That the man had burden on his
mind is known by the haste with which be
sent for tho priest when he knew he could
not live. Coming generations in Merrill
plantation will shudder as the brief story OF
the mutilated hand is told at their frightened
bedsides.
