gineer zee it. Toe brakes were ap-
piled, but to no purpose. The engine

were four on the train. An explosion

ing oil and wrecked cars were thrown

Among the In dians.

FARGO, d. T., Feb. 6.-An argus
special from Standing Rock Indian
agency, says that by the recent death
of young Antelope, Stanley Huntley,
a newspaper man who was at one
time connected with the Dakota
press, and is now. in New York, be-
came chief of the Teton nation. The
manner in which Huntley te anne
chief of all the Slough tribes ls like q
fable. Years ago, before Sitting Bull
surrendered, Huntley was sent by
Chicago paper to Northern Montana
to interview the warrior. When tired
of securing the plains, 9he crossed the
border and became the guest of
Major Walsh, at Wood Mountain, in
the British Northwest territory.
Here camped around the Majors
post were old men and squaws,
among whom was Little
Knife, the hereditary chief of the
Tetons, who was too old for war and
the buffalo trails. Little Knife in
jurad his limb while dismounting
from his poney; the medicine men
failed to give relief and the old man
was given up to die. Huntley ap-
peared on tine scene, and, with a
newspaper mans extensive know
ledge, bound the wound with leaves
and oil and the chief recovered.
Huntley was thereupon adopted, and
last fall when Sitting Bull and his
troops were east, an adopted sis ter of
Huntley's was with them and recog.
nized Huntley. Little KniIe had
two sons, Mountain Bill and Young
Antelope; the former was killed some
time ago, and now by Antelope's
death Huntley becomes chief, as
male relation by adoption is as strong
as through blood among the Indians.
Huntley's Indian nameis Wankepey
Wankan, or Holy Leaf.

LONDON, Feb. Cool. Wortley, In
charge Of only one Of Col. Wilson,
three steamers which succeeded ID
reaching Gubat from Khartoum, tn.
two others having been wrecked, hal
furnished detailed reports of thu
movement of the expedition. This
shows that three steamers in the
command Of Col. Wilson reached
Kbartoum Jan. 28, following the
course Of the White Nile. Reaching
Khartoum It was found utterly i'm
possible to land the troops. Then
follows y description Of the firing by
the rebels and return of the steamers
as given in yesterdays dispatches.
Continuing Col. Wortley says. s.The
government house at Khartoum ap-
peared to be wrecked, one man was
killed and i've wounded during the
attack on the steamers. Col.
Wilson's steamer was wrecked four
miles above the enemy's position
below the bottom Of Skublaka cat
aract. = The second steamer was
wrecked January 10Th. We reached
Gubat In small brats the same day
that Khartoum fell, January 26. It
is certain General Gordon's fate is
still In doubt. Reports in regard to
him are conflicting. It is the gen.
eral opinion, however, that he was
killed. Seme say he Is with the
Greeks, In their church at Khartoum.
The fall Of Khartoum has decided
the Shukrigeh tribes to join El Mahdi,
which places both banks of the Nile
under the control Of the enemy.
The natives greatly fear the Eogllsh,
and the advance of General Earle's
column is anticipated with anxiety
by them. The natives say that Ell
Mahdi Is hard pressed for supplies
and that he had great difficulty in
the Emirs to attack US.

The Sale of q Railroad

"T'll bid Sl5,0O0' came from the lips
of Mr.. A. w. Jones, of Youngstown,
who made the opening bid. The prop
erty for sale was the road bed and all
property belonging to the Cleveland
Delphos & St. Louis Narrow Guage, the
quondam auctioneer Major Goodspeed,
as Master Commissioner, and the place
of sale the United States Court room.
Just after Major Goodspeed had read a
description of the property, Mr.. EN-
cry, on behalf of the Pittsburg Car
Trust Company, stated that for the
benefit of purchasers he would inform
them that two engines, some passenger
and freight cars belonged to the com.
pany he represented and were only
leased to the G., d. & st. l..
This being understood, the bidding
began. $4,000 was the smallest sum
which could be offered and there being
no other bids the property was knocked
down to Mr.. Jones. In this purchase
that gentleman represent VIM. Sem.
pie, of Allegheny, the presents receiver
of the road, James Gallery, President OF
the Pittsburg & Western, and Joseph
Boehmer, of Delphos.
The purchase, as Mr.. Jones told the
Bee, is virtually made by the bondhol
ders. The road will be improved and
possibly widened at no late date. Mr.
Semple says it may be extended, but
how soon cannot now be stated.--Bet

Truth Well Told.


Politics is an interesting study after
all. 1t is quite amusing to see Dem
ocrats bob up all over the country,
asking for office, who never spenta u
dollar, nor day in the service of the
Democrtic csuse. They have voted our
ticket and they seem to think that en-
titles them to an office. Well, il would
as against a Republican. And some
there are claiming to be Democrats
who have not always supported their
party ticket, but have on account of
personal feeling and money consider
alton even worked against the election
of the regular nominees of the party,
that now have the impudence to come
forward and lay claim to some of the
fruits of the Democratic victory. Had
there been no more faithful Democrts
than they there never would have been
a Democratic victory, and does any one
suppose for a moment that those who
have borne the heat and burden of the
day shall step aside and allow the do
nothing" kind to step in and take the
offices? Never. The brave, the active,
and the industrious of our ranks shall
be remembered first. They have bat
tied for many years for Democratic SUI
pregnancy, and now when power is
within reach it is quite natural that the
offices be appropriated by the faithful
and true. Party organization and
strength demand that the worthy be
served first. If hard labor and liberal
expenditures for the cause are not rec
ognized in the distribution of office then
party organization is no good. DEM
ocrats who have done nothing for the
party except to vote, can afford to wait
n little while for an office. We have
heard of several Democrats in the COUP
try, who are looking after postofiices,
who have never attended Democratic
convention, and who have never helped
to support their county paper. What
claim can such a Democrat have OH
any office? Let them go to work I'm
their respective townships, and help
organize our forces. Convert as many
Republicans as possible, and after few
years of such faithful work then your
claims will be valid. The worthy must
he served first.

Bohemian Oats.

Following is a brief statement of how
the Bohemian oat business is worked:
The farmer buys, say 10 bushels for 500,
on IL months time with interest. These
oats being little heavier than common
oats, are worth about so cents per bushel
or SIS for the ten bushels. But the
farmer, by submitting to be gulled out
of $95 on S. worth, is allowed to become
one of the Association, and they will
assist him to get his money back by
swindllng other farmers in the same
way. AS an inducement for the farm
ers to buy their oats, the company
agrees to sell of oats that he raises at
$40 bushel to double the amount that
he buys for seed of the company, he
giving the agent and company rs cents
per bushel for selling his oats. But the
company not being Incorporated here
and T believe nowhere else their guar
antee is worthless. The same scheme,
with slight variations, has been played
in this country for many years, and is
partly on the plan Of squad of western
highwaymen we once heard of, who,
after robbing man, would allow him to
become one of their gang and assist to
rob Others Ofan amount equal to double
the amount they had robbed him Of.
Most of those who have gone into the
scheme in this county are honorable
men, and would loathe the idea of swind-
ling others, but they will have to if
they get their money back, and those
in turn will have to gull others to get
their money back. If there is one
feature in the scheme not tinctured
with rascality, where is it? Honorable
men should keep out of it.-Lima Ga

When new drama has proved sue
cessful, it is customary for the audience
to call the author before the curtain.
They have curiosity to see what sort
of man it is that created the play that
has amused and instructed them.
There is something very much like this
in regard to our great newspapers; their
editorial utterances are all anonymous,
but there is generally tradition OF
some half-shadowy parsonage who has
established the journal, given it it,
character, and constantly directs it; and
the public like to have him come before
the curtains, now and then, to address
them in his own person. This Mural
Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial

Of the North An,erie0n Review, to
which he contributes an article on
