An Unnatural Parent.

Charley Waller, aged 10 years, living
at No. 10 Zion place, Chicago, was tempt
ed to run out and play without his faith
ers consent. The neighbors boys with
whom he had committed the transgression
peeped in at the back yard to see what
had become of their playmate after he
had been dragged in by his father. They
were shocked to see him hanging to post
in the wood shed apparently dead. A
rope had been passed around his neck
and chest and his arms were extended and
tied to other points of the wall He was
black in the face and unconscious. A
boy, from the Mortified youngsters, and
Kate Livorat, a domestic from the adjoin-
ING house, went to see what the matter
was. She seized hatchet and cut the
child down, then picked him up and car
ried him into her mistress house, where
means were taken to restore life. When
these were partially successful he went
into violent conv1lsions. 1t was an hour
before the child could stand His father
had tied him up, and upon complaint was
arrested.

AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.

Felt in All States East of the Mississippi.
\ profound sensation was caused over
the eastern, southern, southwestern and
middle states on Tuesday by an earth
quake which shook the earth and fright
ened people into panics. 1t was more
perceptibly felt in large buildings, many
of which were Jared so badly that por-
tions gave way. No one is reported to
have been killed. The Charleston bridge
at New York was shaken so that it fell,
leaving no connection between the two
cities. In Dubuque, Iowa, part of the
audience in the opera house ran out,
and for a moment there was a scene OF
confusion. The shock was felt in the
different cities at different hours. In
some places it lasted for three minutes.
The official signal service bureau at
Washington reports that four distinct
shocks were felt there The first began
at 9:54 and lasted 40 seconds; the second
was felt at 1904 and was followed by
another at 1910, and by fourth at
1920.
Charleston, South Carolina, was most
affected by the shock. Not even during
General Gilmore's bombardment of the
city, has there been such deplorable
state of affairs there. The city is liter
ally in ruins and people are living in the
open squares and the public parks. No
trains are leaving the city and telegraph
communication is nearly cut off. Not
single business place in the city is
open, save drug store, which is busy
preparing prescriptions for the wound
ed. 1t is impossible to give any estl-
mate of the dead and wounded. 1t is
calculated that at least three-quarters
of the city will have to be rebuilt en-
tirely if the houses are to be inhabited
again. Great excitement continues on
the Atlantic sea coast. The negroes
were paralyzed with fear. They were
loud in their declamations of alarm, in
singing hymns, and fervent appeals for
Gods mercy. There was no distinction
of place or power, of pride or caste in
the assemblage that was gathered to-
gether in Charleston. There were in
stances of unselfish devotion, kind, low
ing regard between master and servant,
mistress and maid, in the presence OF
the common i'll and threatened ruin,
that showed as nothing else could show
how strong is the tie that binds our
white people and our black people to-
gethes- None expected to escape. The
moments of the vibrations Of the earth
were terrible ones and will be remem.
bered by those who were there, until
their dying day.

Indians Want "Paper Titles

Acting Commissioner Upshaw, Of the
Indian office, has issued the following
letter of instructions to agents upon
the various reservations where, under
the existing laws and treaty stipulations,
allotments of land in severalty may be
made:
"The business of allotting and patent
ing lands to Indians should be pressed
with the utmost vigor. The Indian
is awakening to the Importance OF indl-
vidual ownership in the soil, and agents
must foster and encourage this feeling
by all means in their power. The In.
dian asks for paper title for his land,
and with that in his possession he has
some guarantee that the land he inn
proves will not be taken from him
The Indians must be impressed with
the fact that if they desire to make
their stay upon their reservation sure
and stable, they must take up lands and
get regular title to them from the gov
eminent.

Discussion of Tariff.

at the National Farmers Congress
held at St. Paul last week, l.. S. Coffin OF
Fort Dodge, Iowa, read paper on
transportation which is very compre-
hensive and true IN many senses. The
steam railway is the most omnipresent
factor in modern civilization and busi-
ness, and largely fixes the prices OF our
products. He asks:
"How many six OK teams would it
take to drag into Chicago and out OF it,
every day, the daily hog trade OF that
city? At rough estimate, it would
need 5000 teams, 5000 drivers and wa
gons, crowd that would stop business. !"
The railroads handle all this easily
and without friction. When these
mighty agencies combine, it is time for
people to look out. Is there no way to
limit the greed of men who seek to be
railway kings? The ocean is the great
regulator of railway freight rates, more
potent than laws or legislators. The
railways did once reduce rates because
the steamship companies forced them
to, and then the great people said, ''if
you can carry for certain sum from
the interior to tide water, you can carry
relatively as cheaply in other direc-
tions." and that is the skeleton in rail-
roads closets. Yet there is word to
say on the other side. 1t is because of
special rates made for agricultural pro-
ducts in the new west that has made
possible the marvellous development
and prosperity of this country. Yet it
is not benevolence that prompts special
rates. but the prospect of future in
creased production in the country trib-
utary to the road. Had we had special
ironclad laws governing these rates,
these results could not have been had.
But special rates should be distinguish
ed from unjust discrimination. Mr..
Coffin in his paper says:
zone of the important questions is,
when shall railway building in any
special locality stop, or, in other words,

ence against violence between now and

who was present, Immediately replied
II want to say, that if any violence is
done by the friends of these men that the
lamp posts of Chicago will bear fruit.
In my opinion, the police will be power
less to quell the popular rage, and public
vengeance will be summarlly wreaked
upon al, the friends and pronounced SYM
pathizers of anarchy"
Forepaugh's circus will show at suspen-
sion Bridge on September 13, and Blon-
din, Adam Forepaugh Jr.'s trained horse
will make an attempt to walk over the
falls. The idea is to stretch two or three
inch steel cable across, either on the brink
of or little below the falls. The wire
will have to be wrapped with cotton cord,
so that Blondin's rubber shoes will stick
to it. Blondin is Morgan colt, Adam,
Jr., bought near West Chester, Pa, three
years ago. He was four years old last
sp!ing. He is fourteen and half hands
high, is compactly built, and weighs 800
pounds. Adam began training him at
Philadelphia early last fall to walk the
rope. He goes backward as we'll as for
ward, and has never yet had fall.
St. Paul dispatch, 9th: Passengers on
the Northern Pacific through train which
arrived last night from Portland had
enough adventures to vary the monotony
of travel in such extremely hot weather
as prevailed. Besides being the Victims
each to a greater Or less degree, of car
thieves whom the conductor and porters
were unable to ''spot," the train narrowly
missed bad accident after leaving Bis
marck. A sudden shock was felt, and the
train came to a stand still, when it was
discovered that rail had spread to an
angle of about As degrees. The engineer
and fireman discovered the break, reversed
the engine and jumped, being slightly
bruised. Strange to say, however, all but
one of the fourteen cars passed over the
break without an accident.

the Belt mountains, starting near the
source of Cora creek, and if reports are
true was started by Indians. At latest
reports the mining town of Yogo was in
immediate danger 1t is now believed by
many that nearly, if not all, of the fires
that have been burning for the past two
weeks have been set by Indians to engage
the attention of settlers and thus enable
them to run off stock. The appearance of
Indians in this vicinity would naturally
tend to confirm this belief. A posse is
now on the trail of the Indians who passed
through the basin the first part of the
week, and it is their opinion that the In
dians are Crees instead of Crows.
Edward L. Huston, who escaped on
Tuesday night from the territorial penl-
tentiary, was re-captured Monday by a
man named Fifer at point fifteen miles
from Deer Lodge. As he was escaping
the guard shot at him with his revolver
1t appears that the ball passed through his
body above the hips, but nevertheless he
made off, but the last eight miles of his
travel was accomplished by crawling on
his hands and knees. Fifer got 500 re-
ward from Marshal Kelly for making the
capture It is not believed that Huston
will die from the effect of his wound.
Billings Gazette: Yesterday Sheriff
King recognized the brand of E. P. Liv-
ingston, Wyoming stockman, on horse
in the possession of Grow squaw. AS
Livingston had lost some horses the sheriff
concluded that the one in question had
been stolen and took it IN charge. The
squaw protested and raised howl that
caused everyone within the city limits tc
take refuge in their cellars, believing a
cyclone was about to demolish everything
over ground. The squaw claimed that she
had the horse three years, and her state
ment was corroborated by a number OF
Indians. Further evidence will he taken.
independents: Hon. j. T. Carlin, re-
ceiver of the land office at Bozeman, is in
Helena on business connected with the re.
lease of carload Of thoroughbred bulls
and heifers, held by veterinary orders at
Miles City. The stock was shipped from
Kansas and was accompanied by a clear
bill of health, but the excitement about
Mr.. Carlin's last shipment having Texas
fever evidently caused the quarantine on
the latter shipment. Mr.. Carlin was very
anxious to get the cattle to his ranch. He
came to Helena for redress but did no
need to see the governor as he was in
formed by DR.. Keefer, territorial veterin
arian, that the cattle were released.
