Two female school teachers who
were victims in the Northwest bliz-
zard of several weeks ago have suffer-
ed the severest injuries. One, a Miss
Boyce, who lay all night OH the prairie
with three of 'her pupils,-and they
died in her arms,-has had both feet
Another, Miss Shattuck,
who was for three days under a hay
stack, has died. Miss Freeman, a
third teacher, who saved sixteen
children by tying them one to another
and to herself and leading them three
quarters of mile through the storm,
appears to have survived without
serious hurt. They we'll deserve the
which are being raised
for their benefit.

Winter Oats--Why Not?

The Field and Farm remarks that very
little has been SAID about planting oats
In the fall. From long custom they have
been spring planted Mr.. Gillespie of
the Roariny Forks on the western slope
as we have no,i:ed in a paragraph else-
whereof ,nted oats in September, 1886,
and harvested splendid crop in the
summer following. He obtained one.
third more bushels per acre from the
winter variety than he did from field
planted in the spring. Then also the
winter variety required no irrigation ex
cept One wetting in the fall after the
plant had sprung from the ground.
The winter system is nothing new in
England, thon.h. Says the Mark Lane
Express Our English winter or tawny
oats are, We believe, the best oats grown
in all the world for quality of grain,
thinness of husk and sweetness of flavor.
Yet they are not grown to the extent
they might be to advantage. 1t is not
that those who grow winter oats should
grow more, but that many who do not
grow few might do so to advantage.
As they must be sown early, and on
kindish land of good quality, one field Is
generally about as much as most farmers
care to bother with at the risk of delay
ing their wheat sowing. But these winter
oats come first of all the cereal crops to
harvest. The value of the oats when q
year old is always the very outside price
that cats will bring. We have known
winter oats turn out well when sown in
the spring.
The same paper adds: New Zealand
oats are the best of all our imported de-
scriptions. They are very heavy. The
oat crop is an important one in New Zea-
land, and the soil and climate of that
country must snit remarkably we'll. A
paper published in the North Island
states that Mr.. George Crosbie. of Wynd-
ham, imported one pound weight of oats
especially from the United States at the
cost of 81 go. The return IVES l79 pound
weight from the one pound sown. Last
year the produce of the second sowing
was s,5+0 pounds or PIG bushels; this year
he has just threshed from forty five BUSH
els of seed sown $50 bushels, or eighty
two bushels per acre,

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact, all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate re.
lief. Three doses will relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all drug
gists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 80, 900 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where 1t failed
was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.

San Jose News: Regarding the rem
edIes for smallpox, a gentleman who was
connected with the medical and surgical
departments during the war, lays:
"During the time intervening between
the battle at Murfreesboro, Tenn,
and the Missionary Ridge conflict on the
heights overlooking Chattanooga, a
smallpox epidemic was fright that
scared more than it killed. A large
smallpox hospital was established at
Bridgeport, Ala, and the average num-
ber of inmates was represented by more
than three figures. But what l wished
to arrive at was this: The deaths were
very few, and the treatment was quite
simple. We only gave the patients
plenty ofSentilation by arising the s:def
of the large hospital tents, kept theil
bowels freely open and gave the men
good rations of English ale, commodity
supplied by the Christian commission o.
the North and Uncle Sans commissary
department.

smallpox, and know it is good, but will

discovered the cowpox in England, tn
world of science hurled an avalanche {
fame upon his head, but when the mos

Allison, the Scout.

Allison, the alleged scout. but rather
a loud mouthed c)iFee-cooler who has
hung around Fr. B if,rI for tn. past few
years and been bold, bal man solely in
his own estimation, has found his way
east and is there airing his knowledge of
frontier matters in manner that stamps
him as fit inmate for some lunatis asy-
lum. In speaking of his latest vagaries
the Globe says:
Despite the mass of information that
has been dispensed upon the subjert, the
eastern press seems to cling tenacionsly
to the ida that Maj. Reno was respon-
sible for the catastrophe which befell
Custer and his command. At present an
ex-scout, named Allison, now in the
east, has been given the eastern papers
copious interviews, the burden of which
is that had Reno been less mindful of
his own safety Custer and his troops
would have escaped. All the facts in the
case are against this assertion.
In the interests OF veracity anil in be-
half of a man who has sins enough to
answer for, it is well trat r mos entire
innocence in this matter should be es-
tablished. The testimony of those who
were connected with the disastrous Big
Horn expedition and who were eyewit-
nesses of the overwhelming attack made
by the Indians, related to tine writer,
who has alIo personally inspe ted the
ground in company with an interpreter
and Chief Gaul, the Indian who lead the
attack, is to the effect that Reno could
not have aided Custer had he desired.
There were two reasons why such action
of his would have been impossible,
either of which would be sufficient.
In the first place he was ordered tn
take up his station in swale about two
miles distant from the coulee in which
Custer met his death. and to remain
there until Custer effected a junction
with him. Custer was desrous to at
, tack the Indian camp, though forbidden
to do so by Terry. and gain all the glory
of the victory. Hardly had Reno assum-
ed his station until he was surround d
by Indians, and only su ,te ,led in es,ap,

SCOTT HANGED.
Scott, the Wife Murderer, Pays The
Penalty OF his Awfal Crime.
He Dies saying, "dentIemen, have been
wronged, but 1 forgive ALL"

The builder of the scaffold upon which
Scott was swung into eternity conceived
the grim idea of using the same hammer
with which Scott had killed his wifi, and
so the blood-stained instrument of death
drove the nails into that which was to
kill the murderer. The Herald, in its
account of the hanging, says:
Scott was baptized Catholic yesterday
bv Father r. L. Deryckerie, since which
time Fathers Deryckerie and p. Desiere
have been almost constant attendants,
and Scott IS happy.
Last night he and man named Ham
mond played game Of cribbage at 1880
and at II he played two more games.
At II 80 he retired to his cell, smoked a
cigar, put on the ribb ms and read the
Bible. At 12 o'clock he fell asleep AMI
slept until 3 O'Clock this morning. He
then got up and read the Bible again, and
went to sleep again at 1880. The priest
came at 1885 and held communion with
him at o'clock. lie ate very hearty
breakfas at S:45 of oatmeal and mush
ham and eggs, and cup of coffee, which
he relished, when lie retired to his cell
again where he was shortly afterwards
joined by Fathers Deryckerie and Des
iere.
At 10: 80 the death warrant was rsad
to the condemned man by Sheriff Cole

prayer, assisted by the fathers.
