Disguised Afghans.

LONDON, May GA dispatch from
Tfrpul, dated April 80, says that the
Afghans seem enraged at the failure of
England to support them alter their ad-
vance to Pulikhisti, which brought on
Gen. KomarofFs attack. They accuse Sir
Peter Lumsden of d~eceiving them. and
claim that England has deserted them in
the same way that Russia did in 1878.
The representative of Afghanistan, who
has been at Sir Peter Lumsden's head
quarters to advise him OF the ameer's
views as to the proposed boundaries, has
made a formal protest against the course
of the British commander. He declares
that it was shameful to encourage the
Afghans to resist the occupation of
Penjdeh, and then to abstain from render
ing them assistance when attacked.
1t is believed at Sir Peters headquar-
tiers that this attitude of the Afghnns is
studied and ~insincere, and that it indi-
Gates some new and ~unfriendly design on
the part Of the ameer.
Advices from Teheran show that Persia
is heavily reinforcing her eastern frontier.

A Disguised Judge.

NEW YORK. May G.-This afternoon.
when the Jury trying Richard Short, for
stabbing Capt. Phelan, retired, the lob
bies Of the court house remained thronged
with people. The jury having made
known that an agreement had been
reached, were brought into court and
asked what their verdict was mot
guilty" answered the foreman. Short 4
friends set up a tremendous shout, but
were quickly quoted by the officers. The
judge frowned in indignation and amaze
ment at the verdict, and said:
Gentlemen, | am astonishcd at your
verdict You are discharged from all
further service on this panel"

ner that seemed to show that his homo

interviewing the Utah Commits
sioners.

SALT LAKE CITY, May Members
of the Utah commission, being inter
viewed to-day by an Associated Press re-
porter, as to the effect of the late Mormon
declaration and protest upon the au-
thorities at Washington and the nation,
say: ut will do the Mormon cause more
harm than good. First, because it is a
bold, undignified declaration in favor of
the dogma of polygamy; second, the
leaders who formulated the document
have induced the whole Mormon people
apparently to endorse the declaration,
while, no doubt, there are many dissent
tents, yet who have allowed themselves to
be placed by their leaders in an attitude
unanimously endorsing polygamy. This,
of course, will be used by outsiders as an
argument for more stringent legislation. -

zinc Thunderer complains.

LONDON, May 6.-The Times com
plains this morning of the reticence and
ambiguity of the statements Of the gov
eminent in regard to the Afghan ques-
ton. 1t severely criticises the action of
the government in recalling Sir Peter
Lumsden, as the frontier question will be
all settled before he can possibly arrive i'll
London, and that therefore any informal
ton he may have will be worthless so far
as negotiations with Russia in London are
concerned. The Times also says that the
change of the purpose of the ameer of
Afghanistan has placed the government in
a difficult position.
LONDON. May 6.-The Daily Nelcs is
authorized to deny that Russia has stipu-
lated that England shall not occupy Port

The War in the Northwest.

~BATTLEFoRD, May 6. 10 p. M.-Furth-
er.details OF the engagement between Col.
Offers forces and Chief Poundmaker's
Indians show the fight lasted seve hours.
The Indians used muskets, war clubs,
spears, bows and arrows, and every con
ceivable weapon Of warfare. No mention
is made in the dispatches of the killed and
wounded being brought back, and it is
judged from the hasty return march, they
were left behind. Nothing but the last
extremity would induce Otter to do that.
No one has any doubt now thai a bloody
Indian war will follow. The Quappclle
Indians are to-day reported to have risen
and left their reserve. Crowfoot, chief of
Blackfoot, is related to Poundmaker, and
will, it is said, Join him against the
whites. The dominion government and
Col. Otter are blamed for not securing
the ransom factor, Mclean and other
captives before precipitating matters.
Positive advice from Clafke's crossing to-
day say Middleton began his advance this

LONDON, May Gan exchange tele-

Baron Won Scatter, Austrian minister at

government to object to the appointment
of Mr.. Kelley as United States minister

of Keiley's wife being a Jewess is the
reason for the objection, although nothing

RAILROAD To
some Statements Made by a Correspond
ent In Regard to the Matter.

The following letter from TIE Black
Hills will prove of interest to the people
of Cheyenne and vicinity, in regard to
railroad matters in that section. 1t may
furnish some valuable information in re-
gard to matters Of interest to this city:
The good time coming for which the
Hills have waited so long and patiently
will soon be realized, if, as.has been con-
sistently maintained, nilroad connection
with the outside world is indispensable TO
realization. Letters from Chaldron, the
proposed next winter terminus of the
Sioux City & Pacific, report that iron is
going down at the rate of forty miles a
month, which will bring the track at
White River, 100 miles from Dcadwood,
by the middle of July. Already the Hills
experience the good effects of the extend
ing road. Recently a representative of
thirteen families called at the land Office
to make filings. He says that immigra-
ton has already assumed proportions
without a parallel in the Northwest, and
that so soon as bad weather so prevalent
throughout the Middle and Eastern states
shall have ceased, the rush will become
terrific. Already much of the more valu-
able land in White river valley is under
location and not a little under cultivation,
and as emigrants learn, as they are learn
ing, that a large area of more fertile land
conveniently located for timber. coal and
other esirable.resourccs, lies Just beyond
close to the Black Hills, the tide will
sweep on to this region.

is known as the Deadwood & Redwater
railroad, a proposed road to connect the

and labor was expended thereon, but foi

urer Dubois has issued his annual re-
port, showing the revenue and dis
bursements of the State for the year
ending July 81, 1885. The statement
shows that the resources of the State
are nearly 100000 more than the liza
biliGies. The latter are found in the
Agricultural College fund, represented
by State bonds falling due June 1st,

of ten cents on the dollar on the grand
list of 1885, Sic, 900; estimated pro-
ceeds from the sale of balance of
Huntington fund securities, S38, 900 ;
making total of S431, 1904. The
total receipts during the year were
S699, 774.24. The partial sale of the
Huntington fund securities yielded
$161,810.37; the corporation tax
brought S2O2, 942.8S; the temporary
loan 1925, 1000; the income from the
agricultural fund was S18,13O; foreign
insurance companies paid $2,456
county clerks and judges of probate

JERSEYS AS PERENNIAL MIXERS

JERSEYS AS PERENNIAL MIXERS
A stanch admirer of Jerseys celebrat.
ing the merit of the breed in the Rura
New Yorker, says: There is family
of Jerseys on Kirby homestead that
never 60 dry. One of them gave 8
third of pail of milk up to the day Of
calving; yet the calf was strong and
active, and the COW did well. We
generally stop milking them a few days
before the time of calving, but in this
case this precaution was overlooked.
Other Jersey COWS in this section dc
not become dry, and are MIXED up to
within a very short time of calving
This continual milking makes the Jer-
seys handy and valuable for the fami-
ly. Most COWS 60 dry from three to
four months. 1t is not extra food
which stimulates our Jerseys to hold
on milking, as they are not fed extra
but it is their nature, and this charac-
teristic descends from generation to
generation. This is virtue which
offsets the deficiency of beef in Jer-
sey it is not necessary that an animal
should be big to make good beef. Jer-
seys do make good beef, and 16 ounces
of it make pound, and it does not
take any more food to make pound
of beef in a Jersey than in Short
horn. One would imagine, to hear
some of the anti-Jersey talk, that,
when Jersey had finished her course
and filled her last tub, she was nui-
sance that must be disposed of. Not
SO. With little food, good beef may
be made of her at moderate cost.

For years it has been said by the
Democratic newspapers and campaign
speakers, and many people have been
led to believe, that there were "great
frauds" in the public service; that it
was s'rotten altogether" that "miilions
were plundered" from the people, and
that it was full of 'rascals" who were
trolling in their ill-gotten wealth. "
And now comes a Democratic Admin
istration which has been searching
every department for the past five
months, and has not yet found the
fraud. The discovery-which was at
terward found to be mistake on the
part of the Democratic committee who
made the count-that two cents were
missing in the count of $500, 900, 900
cash in the Treasury is a good illustra-
ton of the practical result thus far,
and shows the extent of truth in the
Democratic assertions.
