Already the execution Of Louis Riel
for high treason is affecting the Cana
dian government. The sympathizers
in the uprising Of the half-breeds to de-
fend their homes and secure conces-
sions from the government that should
have been granted for the asking, are
much more numerous than the gov
ernment had estimated, and by Riefs
death have been and are hourly increas-
ing. 1t is now thought that the Indians
that were to he executed for participa-
ting in the breeds cause will be par
doned through fear that their hanging
will greatly increase the feeling against
the government and cause its over
throw at the next election. Had Riel
been tried, convicted and hung for
murder, instead Of that relic Of bar.
barism, treason, the Canadian govern
ment would have averted the impend-
ing trouble.

Threats Upon Her Lie BY Druken Husband the
Chief Cause Of the Rash Act


About two weeks ago there arrived In
Maiden. on the Ubet coach, woman and
little boy, mailing. as was afterwards
learned. from Lavina, on the Musselshell
She put up at the International hotel for
the night and next day started out in search
of employment desiring. as she SAID, a
situation to keep house for a livelihood.
She visited several business places during
the day, but did not meet with much en-
enlargement. She was permitted to remain
at the hotel until she could get work, wait
ing on the table in payment for the board
of herself and child. Her conduct was
such as to excite the suspicion and curiosity
Of all whom she met. She looked des-
pondent and detected; something seemed
to be weighing upon her mind that caused
her at times To act irrational. 1t was some
thing more than her failure to get situa-
ton here for friends had offered to aid her
if she was in need of money. She made
several visits to our drug stores to procure
morphine. stating that she wanted it to
quiet her nerves. She did not secure j, nut
once, and then only small quantity was
given her. We are informed that while at
the hotel she was seen wringng her hands
and exclaiming TOO late. Too late g" and
we believe had been heard TO make threats
upon her life.
After remaining at the International
hotel several days she found employment

welcome TO stay there until she could find
something better. Here she was employed
in waiting on the table and making beds In
the lodging rooms attached, and it was she

of revolver which she found under a
pillow. When the report was heard the
first thought that came to those employed
about the building was that she had shot
herself No doubt she was examining the
revolver to see how it operated should she
dersire to use such weapon. Her conduct
at the Palace was cause fer grave appre-
tensions, and one of the pro?rietors, Mr..
A. &. Shuck, was almost constantly watch
ing her movements. 1t is said she had
spells of cheeriuness but they were very
brief, and she would drop back into a
melancholy mood, and refuse to be com
forted. She was not inclined to be laxative,
but meditative, determined, desperate. She
had her mind fixed upon something and
that was--leath to herself and child.
That she had trouble on her mind oil
long standing and which was gradually
robbing her OF her reason, was daily becon-
As Ia
her past history or marital relations was
SO firmly fixed that no one seemed to be
able to gain her confidence sufficiently to
hear its recital, and en,ieayor to solace her.
However, she WAS offered assistance and
means to go to her parents, to the railroad
or wherever she might prefer. BUT she
was at bay. She knew not where to go.

The Epidemic of Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic OF sui
cides and murders? Recentdiscussions
have named several causes. Hon. c..
II. Reeve, OF Indiana, charges it to in
tidel teachings-holding that hopeless
ness OF a future state cripplesfortitude
for bearing life's ills. Another declares
suffering from the universal business
depression the cause. A third writer
attributes it to increasing insanity, II
physician thinks much OF the tendency
is inherited, while temperance advo-
Gates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free-thinkers have committed sui
eide, but so have orthodox churchmen.
Financial straits have beset many, but
the wealthy have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have pre-
coded suicides and family murders.
One feature commonto almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report of suicide and fami-
ly murder mentions the perpetrator
as having ''for some time been subject
to melancholy" Whence comes this?
All recognized medical authorities tell
us that the fire which consumes the
brain is always kindled by derange-
mentso of digestion; thatgood digestion
is impossible without pure blood, and
pure blood is never known when the
liver and kidneys are out of order.
Under such circumstances, q prevent
i've should besought, and for this War
ner's safe cure is soveign-a fact CON
coded by the best authorities in the
land, and it is especially commended
by hecelebrated DIR. Dio Lewis-Roch,

A Horse That Squares Accounts.

There is a fish pedlar in thecity who
drives a raw-boned, halt-dead horse
before a rickety old wagon, and he
beats and abuses the equine in aman-
ner that calls forth the indignation OF
every pedestrian. A dozen times a
day some n threatens to punch the
pedlar's head for his cruelty, and a
dozen times tie police have Iauled
himup. However, nobody felt thor
oughly satisfied until a few days ago.
The man was selling fish on Beaubien
street, and in jumping off his wagon
he made u slip and fell in such q way
that one leg was caught fast, while his
head hung at the horses heels.
The mills of the gods grind slow. So
do the mills OF an oldhorse. This ami
mal-this sleepy, humble, patient and
enduring old rawbones, had been wink
inghis left eye and bidins his time, and
10Y it had come. The man had
scarcely yelled 'Murder!" before the
old horse socked him one. He was
b~arefooted, but had lots of muscle in
his hind legs. After the first kick he
seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, and he
put 'em i'll hot and heavy. He wanted
to get both feet on the pedlar's head
and stand there and mediate, but
this could not be accomplished. In
lieu of it he took a run OF two blocks,
ana PIT extra muscle into some ofthe
kicks.
When the pedlar was finally rescued
the most Of his hairhad been worn Off
on the ground, the most OF his head
had been kicked off by the horse, and
his general appearance would have
been a ticket of admission to any
hospital in the country. They laid
him on the grass and threw water on
him, and when he could sit up a little
and remember what had occurred he
rolled his eyes around on the ground
and said:
"Dot's Why l always pound him so
much ind SO hard. l knows he gets
eaten with me if der shance comes"
