Horse Pysiognomy.

A horses head indicates his character

mobile nostril and active ear The size
of the eye, the thinness of the skin, max

edged nostril, the fine ear, and the thin,
fine name and fore-top are indications Of
high breeding and accompany a high

The Judge goes Fishing

turbid waters of the Missouri and cast
my line far into the ocean rollers which

never did I see such sport as we had last
week. You see we went up the river,

for consequences as long as the fish bite.
Then next morning the sea bass were
striking the schools of young shad all

from six to ten pounds, game as fighting
chickens, brilliant as the brightest gold,

How Ferrets War on Prairie Dogs.
Barber lKan.l Index.
An old Englishman is now travelling
this county with two pairs of ferrets,
with which he is making money by kill
ing prairie dogs. He has his pets in a
wire cage, and. going to ranch where
there are indications of prairie dogs, he
offers to clean out the dog town for one
cent per dog. The price appears SO very
small that the ranchman does not hest
tate to accept the offer. One ferret will
clean out from twenty to fifty dogs be-
fore he tires out. or rather before ne gets
50 full of blood of his victims that he
can't walk well. When one is tired out
a fresh one is put into service, and so on
until the town is rid of dogs,

RESTLESS RED MEN.
The Situation in Indian TerritOry.-The
Causes of the Uneasiness.

WICHITA, Kan, July |.
A despatch from Wichita, Kansas, says
that the Indians of Indian Territory, appre-
hending that there might be a demand tor
their arms, have, it is thought, cached their
best arms in the sand hills, and only appear
with their old squirrel rifles. 1t is believed
that, should the soldiers make any demonstra-
tions looking to a movement, that the more
hostile element would strike out across the
Territory north through western Kansas to
Join the Sioux, but they evidently expect that
the Kiowas and Comanches will unite with
them in giving the troops a summers cam
paign. The situation is still one of anxiety
and extreme danger.
An associated press dispatch of last week
having attributed to Agent Dyer sundry state
ments to the effect that the cattle men were
at the bottom of the Indian trouble, a cor
respondent o. the Western Eagle called up
on that official to-day and interviewed him in
reference to the matter. Colonel Dyer
promptly answered that the statement that
the grass leases to the cattle men of some
portions of the reservations are the causes of
the present threatened outbreak, is totally
false These Indians have been unrully
ever since the Dull Knife raid, and the pres
ent trouble arises solely from the fact that
for years they never have been punished for
crime and are simply presuming and growing
more bold and reckless. The grass leases
were made two years ago to cattle men who
came in a straightforward, busines-like man
ner and made their agreements with the In
dams themselves. The statement that the
Indians are dissatisfied with the grass leases
is absurd. Very few who objected at first
only did so to extort additional favors. So
frequently have they done this that ten cents

FARMISGroS, July l.
A talk with MIR. Longfrllow of Machias,
the owner of large tracts of timber lands,
who has been investigating the recent disas-
trous forest FIRE in Franklin and Somerset
counties. Mr.. Longfellow thinks the fire the
most extensive that has ever ravaged the
woods of Maine. He says the fire has burned
over a territory of forty miles long, and
eighteen or twenty miles wide. 1t penetrat-
ed 10 the Canadian line, starting from the
northern shores of Tim Pond. Everything
in the town Of Eustis but the buildings of the
villagers, which were saved by the dint of
great exertions, was burned. Many logging
camps and lumbermens tools were destroyed.
Mr.. Longfellow saved his dams by posting
crews Of men to fight the fire. The flames
ragged more furiously in tracts which were
devastated by the great tornado of November,
1888, or had been cut by lumbermen. In
the thick valuable growths, it did not make
so much headway. Hence the loss is not so
great as it might have been.

CHICAGO'S EXCITEMENT.
Much Trouble Experienced Over the
street Railway Strike - Three Cars
Thrown from the Track aud Demol-
ished by a HOwling Mob.
CUlCAGO. July |.

CHICAGO, July l.
The West Division Street Car company
sent out three cars on the Madison street line
early this morning., but the drivers were CON-
PEELED to return to the stables. Fully 100
strikers and citizens were assembled near
the car barns, and when the cars came out
they were met with volley of bricks and
stones, which shivered the window panes and
did other damage to the cars. Several con-
ductors and drivers were struck by flying
missiles. There was a deputy sheriff on the
platform of each car, and in the excitement
one of the officers drew a revolver and threat
ened to fire. but desisted. 1t is now stated
that the company will endeavor to run their
cars under the protection Of the city police,
and trouble is feared.
At ll.30, three cars, with policemen and
deputy sheriffs as sole passengers, started
from the barn on Western avenue down town
on the Madison street tracks. The cars went
over the route without molestation. On the
return trip, however, they were met bv a
mob of four or five thousand at Jefferson
street. They followed the cars with boots
and yells 70 Union street, from there to Hal
sted street The scene was Of the most riot
Gus description. The crowd hurled beer bar
rels, bricks, stones and all sorts of missiles at
the cars, smashing the windows and nearly
wreckiDg them. Several arrests were made,
but the police were almost powerless to han
die the mob. At Union street all sorts of
distractions were thrown on the track, and
several ringleaders were arrested and shot
was fred at ohe of the supposed leaders.
Missiles we're even thrown from buildings on
the street at the cars.
Proceeding further west an enormous
crowd of threatening men had assembled
near Ann street, and the air was filed with
stones. While trying to push their way
through the policemen we're hit and injured
and the cars badly wrecked, resulting in their
finally being thrown off the track and over
turned near the side walk. The authorities
are now massing the entire reserve police
force along Madison street and are making a
number of arrests. The police have been
patient, and with the exception of one shot
fred near the corner of Union street, revolv-
ers have not been used.
The three cars badly wrecked were
finally taken under a heavy guard OF
police to the company's barn on Western
avenue, and the riotous demonstrations
ceased. No further trouble 10 expected
unless another attempt is made to start the
cars,

GEN. GRANT.
Another Quiet Day Passed by the Gen.
eral in the Mountains-The Story of
Col. Dent Denied by the Grant Family.
Mr.. McGREGoR, July /.

Mr. McGREGoR, July /.
Between 8 o'clock last night and O'Clock
this morning, Gen. Grant, according to DR..
Douglass, slept about nine hours. On the
same authority the patient slept profoundly
after midnight and during the esrlv morning
hours. There was little coughing or effort
to clear the throat. and the physician WAS
scarcely called upon to treat the patient dur
ing the night. Although five or SIX drops of
morphine have been given the patient night
ly for many weeks, he has not grown in the
least TO crave it, and he now regards the
anodyne only rs means to an end. In the
early part OF his severe illness Gen. Grant S
lowest ebb seemed to be reached nightly be-
tween o'clock and 5, while now, if one per.
iod of the day is more depressing than another
it falls between l o'clock aud in the after
noon. Such periods are marked by what the
General terms q stuffv feeling of the throat
aud affected parts. Last evening, however,
and again this morning, the patient remarked
lessened stiffness of the tongue. 1t seems
more plant and less tense when efforts are
made to move or use it. The sick man is
spending the morning at ease in his room,
without being dressed.
During the forenoon the General bright
ened up and before lunch he had employed
fully an hour in writing matter which will
become part of the forthcoming book.
There came to the notice of the family this
afternoon, a press report, purporting to have
come from Washington, and in which these
words occur, credited to Col. Dent, VINO is
a brother of Mrs. Grant:
Il am afraid Gen. Grant will not last
many days. To-day l received information
from the family that the cancer has CON-
menced to infame the juguar vein and death
is question of few days in the opinion OF
the physician"
Much pain was occassioned the family by
this alleged utterance and upon the authority
of the family and by their request it is de-
MED that the statements have any warrant
from the household of General Grant or
from his physician.
This has been another quiet day for Gen
Grant. The weather has been too cold for
the patient to go out of doors to-day. He has
spent the time at work and resting in his
room In the afternoon he wrote matter for
his book as he had also done in the forenoon.
DR.. Newman called during the afternoon
The subject of the Generals condition was
broached, and DR.. Newman asked him if he
felt a steadily increasing weakness. In an
swer to this the patient wrote upon his pad as
follows:
~ do not know as there is any special
weakness. l worked a good four hours to-
day and wrote short chapter for my book.
l scarcely use my cane in going about nv
room. Often when go out have to look
about for it and to find it,"

gross receipts for the fiscal year ended, one
of the startling facts is the large increase in

The deficiency for last year was S4,00O,0OO.
The estimate for the coming year, however,
was made before the law reducing postage on
newspapers sent from the publication offices
was enacted. The department officers be-
