THE supreme court Of Indiana has
decided that not only is the state law
fixing The maximum Of telephone
charges at SO per month constitution
ally well based, but the Bell telephone
monopoly cannot take cut its instru-
ments as threatened. 1t was held by
the court that the telephone company
is a common carrier, and as such is
subject to all the regulations which
the law imposes upon common carrl-
ers, 1t cannot, therefore, refuse ser
vice to any person who demands it
and fulflls the legal requirements.
Indiana has SCI a good example. The
telephone cormorants are the most ex
acting and annoying monopohsts Of
the day, and neither deserve nor com
mand any popular sympathy.

slave, purchased his freedom from his
owner, agreeing to give 81, 800 for the
chattel properly. When President
Ljncoln's emancipation proclamation
was issued the former slaves had paid
$500 of his indebtedness, and since
that time, by his daily labor, he has
accumulated, dollar by dollar, and
paid over to his former owner the re.
naming $500, and now is a freeman
indeed. The sense of honor was
stronger in his mind than the law Of

manumitted, and he set an example
followed by few. His name, which

MILES CITY, Mont, March Is. -
Gabriel Dumont, who was connected
with the Rel revolution last spring,
in the north wesl, is in Montana, and
it is feared is inducing tribes of terri
torial Indians to join in the intended
instruction OF their Canadian broth
rem. He has been visiting each Ia
dian camp making friends of the
chiefs of the Crees, the Cheyennes.
Grows and other tribes. 1t is under
stood that he has been visited by
chiefs of Canadian tribes, and every
thing is nearly ripe for action.
About two months ago the Domin-
ion government dispatched Flench
half-breed to Montana to spy Dumonts
movements. The two became inti-
mate friends in short time, and an
other detective in the employ of the
Dominion government has come out,
but Dumont has succeeded in bribing
him, and another Canadian is expect
ed shortly. Dumont was in this sec
ton of country short time ago and
had conferences with the Indians.
From here he went to Fort Benton,
where he now is. He made the re
mark while here that Crowfoot, of
Canada, was ready and willing to put
8, 900 warriors in the field at any time
and that time was not far distant
when he would be invited 10 get out
his forces. Things have very war
like significance, and should Dumont
succeed in creating another disturb
ance in the Regina district any way
from 1000 to 900 Indian braves will
cross the border to assist him.
YANKTON, Oak. March, 25.-The
ice gorge III the Missouri river near
Elk Point still continues to be solid,
and the entire district between Sioux
City and Elk Point is under water.
Nine miles of the Chicago, Milwaukee e
q ST. Paul railway track are sub
merged and in many places entirely
washed away. Trains east of Elk
Point have been abandoned here to-
day. The mail from Sioux City will
now arrive here via Alton, Ia. Su-
perintendent Underwood of the Mil
waukee q st. Paul road has large
force of bridge builders and track lay
ers waiting for the water to subsIde so
that the track can be repaised, but il
is not thought that trains can be run
over the track for several days after
the gorge breaks away. No loss of
life has been reported, but great dam
age to live stock has been done. There
is a heavy gorge above Fort Randall
which is momentarily expected TO
break. The ice is heavier than during
the great food of 1881, but as the ice
only broke up for a distance OF rs
miles above Yankton its damaging
force was much less than in 1881.
Should the Fort Randall gorge give
way before the Elk Point gorge goes
the entire territory as far up the river
as Yankton is likely to suffer from the
overflow.
Later intelligence from the over
flowed district states that the railroad
bridge across the Big Sioux river was
carried away this afternoon. The peo-
pie of Jefferson are moving to the
neighboring hills, and the water is
rapidly rising.

A st. Louis doctor is credited with
having cut off the tails Of two lizards
and united the animals by sewing the
stumps together, thus making a
specias of Siamese twins. The object
of the experiment was to ascertain If
the blood could be transiused by this
method; and one writer maintains
that if, for example, weak and
bloodless invalid were attached in this
manner to strong and healthy
