Geronimo and his band of maraud.
ers have knocked all sympathy out OF
the sentimentalists who until the past
six months classed the Apache brig
ands among ''poor Indians driven to
desperation by empty stomachs. It
has been demonstrated that these
Apaches of the Geronimo stripe are
unmitigated devils, who, even if priv
ileged to feast daily on all the lux
uries of life, would still have the de.
sire to murder and rob.

The telegraphic announcement of
Henry Ward Beecher's death was soon
contradicted, but there is no doubt
that the great orator thinks he is near
his end. He expects to die OF an
apoplectic stroke before long. That
has been his conviction for a wear.
and he has talked it to his intimate
friends repeatedly. In so thinking he
has been influenced by his physical
temperament, his failing health, his
old age and his family tendencies. In
conversation on the subject he has
been cool, calm and cheerful, but utter.
" hopeless OF surviving theyear. The
trustees OF Plymouth church have per.

90 to Europe on June II, accompanied
by his wife. His advisers adjure him

entirely, but he says that political

Pathetic Scene at John Raymond's Grave

on Decoration day at Rock Creek cemetery,
near the soldiers home. Dr. Bartlett OF the
New York Avenue church, which Mr. and
Mrs Raymond attended during their stay
in the city officiated. His allusion to
the life and character Of the deceas-
ed, and especially to the little orphan
girls who are the wards OF Senator and
Mrs. Sabin, were most beau and touch
ing. The little girls placed upon the graves
oi their dead father and mother beautiful
wreaths OF immorte!le provided by Mrs
Sabin and other garands o. flowers, the
gifts OF distant friends. Even the stalwart
grave-diggers wiped away tears, while t he lit
tie walls were sobbing as though their hearts
would break, while clnging to their new
parents, the senator and Mrs. Sabin with
devotion and intensity that made it a
scene indeed touching. The little girls are
respectively six and seven years old. They
have been with Mrs. Sabin since the death
OF their mother, over q year ago, and tits a
question which is the mostdevoted, the lit

Wisconsin Lumber.

Wausau Special The long spell OF dry
weather has SO dried up the streams that
all driving operations have had to be aban-
doned. OF the 200, 900, 900 feet Of logs cut
north OF this city, not over O,OOO, 900 feet
have as yet been driven to their destina-
ton. The rest OF the logs are laid up in the
Wisconsin and it's tributaries and cannot be
moved without rain. On May % jam
commenced to form on Grandfather falls, in
consequence OF which the Tomahawk drive
had to be abandoned as we'll as all the
drives on the main river above. The lam
still remains unbroken. and cannot be
moved until there is a freshet. Several OF
the mills have run short OF logs, and sew
eral Others will have to shut down within
few weeks. The extensive fires that have
ragged in the timber north Of town 35 have
destroyed a vast amount Of pine, and
quite a number of timber owners will be
obliged to send crews in to cut the timber
in order to preserve it from the worms.

College Athletics.

So far as the athletic feature of col
legiate institutions is concerned, Amer
lean colleges, as whole, have too lit
tie rather than too much. Very few
colleges are provided with even or
binary facilities for exercising, and
generally the management think SO
seldom about the physical well-being
of the youth under their control as to
give no attention to physical culture,
and sometimes even to disparage the
necessity for such exercise as healthy
young men are inclined to take. So
there is, as vet, no need for fear of toe
much athletics. When every college in
the country is provided with a gym
nasium, and students are found spend
ing more than two hours a day in
active exercise in that department.
there will be time enough for complaint,
but not sooner-Ch Chtc,fgo inter- Lceua
A California paper says: Eastern
farmers do not usually commence hay
ing in midwinter, yet in the middle of
February the somewhat anomalous
spectacle, even for California. was seen
in one of the southern counties of a
farmer busy with mowing-machine in
cutting and curing a crop of alfalfa
hay. No trouble whatever was expert
enced in securing the crop, and while
it is not the rule that haying is success
full in the month Of February, even in
this. state, still it adds one more to the
varied possibilities of our soil and eli
mate.
The celery crop of Kalamazoo, Mich,
will be larger this year than ever be-
fore. Last season about 1,2OO acres
were planted with this pleasant escu-
lent This year the area planted will
exceed 1,6O0 acres. The value of this
crop to Kalamazoo is enormous. 1t is
estimated by those in the business that
it brought to Kalamazoo last year over
100000, of which almost the entire
amount is spent or invested at home.
The small item of seed is almost the
only expenditure which takes any of
the money away from the city.

THE TRIBUNE.
CALDWELL, JUNE IL, 1886.

The reports from the Oregon cleo
tion, which took place last Monday. are
still very meager. So much scratching
was INDUCED in, that the official count
progresses slowly. 1t is, however,
quito certain that Binger Herman, re-
publican, is returned to congress by q
handsome majority. Pennoyer, demo
crat, is elected governor beyond o
doubt. Webb, democrat, is probably
elected state treasurer, while the repub.
licans claim the election OF Mcbride,
secretary of state; Baker. state printer
and McElroy, superintendent Of public
instruction. They also claim the elec-
ton OF Waldo, for supreme judge, by
a small majority. The state has been
extremely close, and the unexpected
heavy prohibition vote sadly demoral-
lied matters. MIR. Pennoyer's hand
some majority is due to his firm and
unequivocal stand ON the anti-chinese
and labor questions.

President gave the Rev. DR.. Sunderland
was brand new greenback fresh from

to have it framed, but he will not pat it

NIT all couples who come to him to be
married to have peep at it. The SIM
pie sight of it will be apt to excite the
iberality OF future bridsgrooms, and
so the worthy Doctor may not be the
worse by refraining from putting his
hundred dollars into circulation.

ABOUT forty newspaper reporters have

took his young and blushing bride to
shelter her from the rude and vulgar
gaze Of a startled world. She hasn't

scopic eagerness, and have furnished an
anxious, furnishing nation with minute
history of her every action. This sort

SEVERAL weeks ago it was announced
that Secretary Manning had informed
the president of his determination to re-
tire from the treasury department
Doubt was attempted to be thrown up
on the statement by those who know
nothing of the facts and who based
opinions upon the assertions of the
presidents private secretary. The cor
respondence between the president and
Mr.. Manning, recently, fully substan-
tiates the rumor. Although nominslly
Mr.. Manning accepted the suggestion
of tho president to take vacation un-
til October, it is well understood by
both of them that he will never 60
back. The president is not ready to
make a new secretary just now, and
if he needs the time will have some
months to think over the matter. His
desire is to find some man who will
be able to properly fill it, which is more
difficult than may be imagined. The
very sound views which Mr.. Manning
expresses as to the tariff and the fiscal
policy of the government may be Ne
garded as his farewell address to Con-
gress, and particularly the democratic
portion of it.

THE navy department has received
an intimation from the Brazilian minis
ter that the practice ship to which the
young Brazilian prince is attached as a
cadet midshipman, will visit the United
States naval stations along the Atlantic
coast, including the naval academy,
after leaving Havana, and will doubt
less come to the Washington navy yard
before ending the cruise. Secretary
Whitney has accordingly issued orders
to the commandments of the naval sta
tons and yards along the coast, to see
that the officers of the vessel are treated
with due respect. The government of
Brazil has requested, through its minis
ter, that the prince be treated as a cadet
and nothing more. He will, therefore,
not be saluted as member of royal
family, but will be given an opportunity
to inspect the workings of the navy
yards. On his arrival here the minis
ter will take him in charge.

That deluded, misguided, mule
headed individual in charge OF the
General Land Office at Washington, is
a bird. Some one ought to raise a con-
tribution and buy this person an unin-
habited and uninhabitable island, away
off in the raging ocean thousand
miles from anywhere, where this man
Sparks could live at peace with his
neighbors. No man in public Office
has ever been guilty of so many
troublesome mistakes and never has
anyone attempted to suspend the laws
of the land without putting his foot into
it. Sparks is said to be an. honest man;
probably he is, but he is imbued with
the idea that every other man in the
whole country is rogue. He firmly
believes that the Land Office under his
predecessor, Gen. Williamson, was
cheated and defrauded in a wholesale
manner by the people-was a regular
charnal house of corruption. He will
not be convinced of his error. Like the
egregious ass he has proven himself to
be, he cannot learn. The sooner this
blockhead is relegated to
private life-sent to his sequestered is
land in the bosom of the seattle bet
Ter 1t will be for all concerned.
