" How are you, Colonel kerrigan. how are
you, Colonel Pike,
How are you, gallant gentlemen and what
do you feel like?
My stars, old Colonel Slaughter! and here

And Colonel Holmes, and Colonel Ham
and Colonel Bob McFud
How does the Fourth Ward rally, and
does she pine TO go
A-marching down to Texas, and the old Rio
And will you cross the river. and take the
first turnpike,
That leads to Cher-u-bus-co, or what do you
feel like?"
Then up spake Colonel Kerrigan, and w
spake Colonel Pike,
And Colonel Ham, and many more, as
many as you like,
And they caused so much contention, and
they raised so loud a roar
That you couldn't tell for minutes what
Colonel had the floor.
At last "A martial voice was head above the
mighty din.
The lion voice of Colonel Pike, and thus he
did begin:
I'D like to dive in peon blood, way down Al

And swim in gore from the Rio Grande tc

she heard Miss Priscilla's voice
bidding her return.
Miss Priscilla and the stout gen.
tleman rose as she entered the
room.
"Alma." said Miss Priscilla,
This is Mr.. William Arnold, and'
-blushing coyly and looking up
into his face we were friends
many years ago, and some day"
"You'll write yourself Mrs. Will
liam Arnold-hey, little woman?"
cried he, and, despite Miss Pris-
elias protest, kissed her then and
there.
"Tm am very glad" said Alma,
not knowing what else to say.
Glad?" cried Mr.. Arnold, in a
hearty voice. So you ought to
be. You've made two people just
as happy as as turtle doves; and
/ can't forget that it was your vio-
lets that brought about this meet
ing. Lord bless me! it's been a
quarter of century or more since
we were young together, and just
as deeply in love as we are now
| went away across the ocean, and
they told Ine that Priscilla-Miss
Curtis-was dead. /, of course,
believed it. But / never ceased to
think of her; and when | saw those
violets in your little brothers tray
last night, and remembered how
she used to love them, determined
to get potful that would always
be in bloom"
Well, Mr.. William Arnold and
Miss Priscilla went away together
and for many days thereafter there
were busy PREPARATION in the little
cottage, and finally a wedding oftwo
people old in years but young in
heart.
Mr. Arnold interested himself ir
John Brainerd and his invention
and assisted him to get it patened
when it was perfected.
1t proved a success, and Will
the money its sale brought him
John and Alma were married.
SO, as Mr.. Arnold quantity put
it, =" four hearts were made happy
through a bunch of paper violets.

The KEYSTONE has long hcen ncknow1
edged to be the sole representative Of the
Great Upper Wood River and Sawtooth
mining regions and, located as it is in the
very heart OF the most promising mining
country on the face of the earth. and leav-
ing nothing undone to present its readers
complete synopsis of all mining news and
developments, as well ms matters of local
importance in the growth of ketchum, the
future metropolis OF Idaho, it is an invalua-
bic guide for capital and informant to the
settler of every craft and position. Sub

of their religion, in order to get a
revenue from them. He shows that
the entire administration is too
costly for the natives and that dis
content rapidly increases, and he
warns parliament that there is but
one remedy-to reconstruct the
government in closer harmony with
the wishes and feelings of the peo-
pie.
This warning chiefly concerns
Great Britain. But the conse-
quences of the growing poverty of
India under British misrule con-
Germ the whole world. If India is
growing less able to bear rapidly
increasing burdens, less able to pay
rapidly swelling balances yearly to
England, it must inevitably come
to pass that the country will be less
able to take silver from the western
world. The increase in expenses
of government and in balances due
to England has perfectly coincided
in time with the fall in the price of
silver, and greater exactions with
greater poverty must be expected
to cause a greater fall. Add to this
the fact that, by breaking down
manufactures in India by which
millions of people formerly gained
their livelihood, Great Britain
makes a market for more British
cottons, and the cotton sent les
sons the amount of silver that In
dia can afford to pay, and it will
be seen that the fall in the price of
silver is directly connected with
the vicious policy of the British
government-a policy which Brit
ish theorists here are laboring to
establish in this country also for
British advantage.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 5.-An Albu-
querque, N. NJ, special says: "Gen.
Miles was asked to-day what he
thought of the published state
ments or bulletins assumed to have
been written on the official infor-
nation furnished at the War De-
partment as to his capture of Ge-
ronimo. Those reports replied
the General, emanate from the
brains of an unscrupulous and en-
vious person whose object appears
to be to distort the truth with the
intention of injuring me, regardless
of the just praise due the troops
for their extraordinary services in
achieving a permanent peace in the
Southwest. Many statements are
entirely devoid of truth. Others
are weak arguments and labored
theories. The pretense that the
surrender of Geronimo and other
hostiles was other than the result
of gallant and arduous operations
of the troops in the field, is simply
childish. One might imagine,
reading some of the statements,
that
THE RED-HANDED APACHEs
have been all summer trying to get
up a cheap rate excursion to the
yellow fever districts of Florida.
Surely no intelligent man would
believe that the Apaches, who have
been roaming over this mountain
ous region for generations, and
masters of the situation would have
thrown down their arms, sacrificed
their prosperity, surrendered their
liberty, accepted perpetual banish-
ment from their native country and
placed themselves and their fami-
lies at the mercy of the government
unless they had been subjected by
military force"
General, would you mind Civ
ing a copy of your official report of
the surrender if it was asked for?"
81 am quite willing that every
official act in this enterprise should
be known. l would much prefer
that my official report should be
published, and then the extracts
and distored statements would be
thrown out. The people Of this
country are quite intelligent enough
to draw their own conclusions, and
it is not necessary that official doc
uments should be filtered through
the personal brain of some ingeni-
Gus enemy and then so colored in
part as best to answer their person
al interests"
Would you mind saying in
what respect your course has diff
fered from your instructions?"
81 am glad to answer that ques-
ton in order to put at rest very
inaccurate statement. was given
absolute discretionary authority to
conduct the campaign. Even Gen.
Sheridan, who commands the army

What has been the effect Of the

ans?"

An Editor Shot.

DR.. Morrison Munford, editor of the
Kansas City Times, and two other per
sons were shot On Monday by w. A.
Carlisle, an attorney of that city. DR..
Munford had entered street car when
Carlisle went to the platform of the car
and drawing a revolver said to him.
"You have traduced my wife and will
kill you," and at the same time COM
menced shooting. The first ball struck
Munford in the side, the second passed
through his coat, striking Miss Jennie
Streetor, 16-year-old girl. Carlisle then
stepped to the side of the car and COM
menced firing through the windows,
one ball striking a passenger named
John Hale in the face. None of the vic
tins were fatally injured. The trouble
grew out of criticisms against the moral
and professional character of Carlisle
published in the Times.

Uneasy on the Frontier,

An Omaha special says News has
been received here from Fort Niobrara.
Nebraska, that Chiefs Two Strikes and
Turning Bear, of the Ogallala Sioux,
visited that post to get permission from
the commandant, General Brisbin, for
about five hundred Sioux Indians of the
Rosebud agency to visit the Crow In
dlans, party of whom, under White
Bull, are now visiting at Rosebud. The
agent at Rosebud had denied permission
to make the proposed visit. Turning
Bear and Two Strikes informed General
Brisbin that they and their friends pro-
posed to go notwithstanding, as they
wanted to trade ponies with the Crows
and get back 100 stolen ponies which
the Crows promised to return them if
they would make visit. Gen. Brisbin
advised them to remain on their reser
vation. Considerable uneasiness is felt
among settlers along the northern from
tier, owing to the determination of SO
many Indians to make the trip, as it is
feared they may be tempted to commit

Stage Held Up.

The Drummond and Philipsburg stage
was held up on Wednesday morning
about eight miles north of the latter
place. The Wells-Fargo treasure box,
containing S61, was taken by the rob-
bers, but the United States mail was not
molested. The driver did not see the
robbers, as they kept themselves con-
cealed behind brush screen which they
had erected and, presenting double
barreleo shotgun, ordered him to throw
out the treasure box, drive on and not
look back, which command he obeyed.
1t is supposed the robbers were after
heavy shipment of gold dust which
came down on the previous trip. Off
GERS started in pursuit. but no clue has
been obtained of the highwaymen.

Yseult Dudley Going Back to England.


1t is understood that Mrs. Yseult
Dudley, the woman who shot O'Dono-
van Rosa in February, 1885, will leave
within few. days for England. She
was transferred last Monday from Mid
dletown asylum, in which she was con-
fined by order of the court, to the insane
asylum at Auburn, because no one
could be found to bear her expenses to
England, where permission had been
obtained for her to go. The friend who
has at this late day intervened in her
behalf is at present unknown. He is
understood to be gentleman of social
prominence and rank in England, who
was deeply interested in her when she
was in that country, but who during
her trial and troubles here kept himself
in the background.

The Gold Brick Swin(lle Again.

"A
The bogus gold brick game was work
ed on Friday of last week at Butte upor
prominent old-time citizen of that
place named Col. j. d. jerks. The per.
petrators OF the swindle are Capt. E. F.
Page, formerly publisher of Walker
vile paper, and William Shaw, a recent
arrival in Butte, who is said to be a
gambler and an all-round confidence
man. This ancient game was worked
IN the usual manner, the only variation
being the way in which Page became
possessed OF the supposed valuable pro-
perty, which he explained to the victim
as follows: He said a friend lust from
Nevada had brought the brick: that he
mad been an inmate Of the Nevada peni-
tentiary several years ago. While con-
lined there the treasury coach was
robbed and the guard killed by road
agents. One of the robbers was caught
and imprisoned with Shaw while await
Ing trial. He was sentenced to be hung.
but before the execution told Shaw
where his share of the gold taken from
the treasury coach had been hidden.
Shaw recently finished his term, got the
gold bar from where it was hidden. and
fearing to offer it for sale there brought
1t to Butte. 1t was worth about $4,000.
but Shaw would sell it for $500.
jerks bit at the offer and went with
Page and Shaw out to the Horse canyon
Where the bar was secreted. jerks filed
The pieces from it for assay and wrapped
them IN paper, but the swindlers substi-
5uted real gold filings for the spurious.
The assay being all right, jerks bought
he bar. He ascertained by subse-
luent assay that he had been victim
zed and that the bar was made of an
'lloy resembling gold, but not worth
lollar. Shaw and Page were both ar
ested while attempting to leave the
lty. Less than $500 was recovered of
he amount. The men were arraigned
n Wednesday, when Bean waived ex-
and was remanded to jail to
Wait the October term of court, in de-
ault OF $4,000 bonds. In the meantime

Sixty Stamp Mill to be Built Near Philips
burg.

New Northwest: The Granite Noun
tain. OF Philipsburg, is the best paying
silver mine in the world. It is only a
thirty-stamp mill and is built partly on
top of the lead, nearly on top Of the hill,
where the timber above it is almost ex-
hausted and where the transportation
OF supplies is very costly. The COM
pany has now purchased Michael Duffy's
ranch near Philipsburg, and will build
thereon a sixty-stamp mill. This will
bring the works below the ore and tim
Der, down where supplies can be de-
livered by rail and largely reduce the
expenses of reduction. It will also
benefit Philipsburg, as the present works
are four miles from town. j. C.. Robin
