Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF TIKI
COMMITTEE am profoundly sensible of the
high honor which has been conferred upon

recently in session at Chicago, and thank
you, gentlemen, for the courteous and
complimentary terms in which you have Off

and industries which it is the mission of the
Republican party to foster and protect The
platform so wisely adopted at Chicago has
this mission boldly in view, and by its enun-
citation OF these principles makes the issue
clear and distinct. accept the position ten
dered by the Convention of which you are
the honored representatives, and will in due
time address to you, Mr.. Chairman, an Off

YOUNG ADVENTURES.
Three Illinois Boys Venture Into In
dian Territory and are Killed.

A deputy sheriff has brought information
to Wichita, Kan, of an atrocious triple
murder in the Indian Territory, the victims
being Ed. Finley, H. Holiday and j. Gar
wood of Springfield, Ill.
The three youths, none of whom was
twenty years old, found their way to the
Territory about two months ago and camped
on the Red Fork of the Arkansas, where
they lived on the fruit of their
guns. They made an expedition in to the
Seminole country and while there lost some
breed named Peter Evans, known as 'Semi-
mole Pete, " of having stolen the cash. A
quarrel ensued.
The next morning Evans was found dead
in his hut. The three strangers had left the
country, and suspicion pointed to them. The
Indians and half-breed friends of Evans
quickly followed, and traied the boys to
their camp, where they murdered all three of
them.

ACTIVE LAWMAKERS,
The Large Number of Bills Intro
duced in the Senate.

The number of bills introduced in the
United States Senate so far this season ex-
ceeds that of any other Congress during its
first session and falls only about two
score short of the number introduced
in the Senate in two sessions of the last Con-
gress, which surpassed all preceding Con
crosses in this respect
During the last Congress there were 1858
Senate bills introduced, while with the adj
journment of the first session of the Fifty
first Congress the number of Senate bills in
troduced already exceeds $500.

live with her. But when later she

A Bee Story.

Many readers are familiar with
Wallis extraordinary feat, in l849,
driving, according to his. statement,
a swarm of bees across the plains.
A day or two since. as one of our
business men was coming down
town, he happened to discover q
huge bee quietly resting On Walls
shoulder as preparations were be-
ing made for sprinklins the Court
House lawn. "Say, Wall, what are
you doing with that bee on your
shoulder 2"
Wall was startled for a moment,
but, recovering his usual composure,
spoke with gravity, carrying con-
viction of untarnishab|e truth. "I'll
tell you, and.i,'s the solemn truth.
if ever 1 spoke it in my life. That
bee is the queen Of the swarm that I
drove across the plains. She has
been hunting me for years, and
knew me the moment I called her
name; You see, she is getting o
little gray, but I knew her on
sight. She piolated the swarm, and
l used to feed her from my own
molasses can. That bee is the last
Of her race. and l shall take care
of her in her old age. I tell you,
John, that was q memorable trip.
Several times that swarm stood by
me in an hour of peril. They could
scent an Indian several miles away,
and they got to really enjoy an In
dian attack. The fact is they un'
derstood tactics as we'll as the best
trained soldiers. When the queen
sounded an alarm every bee was
under arms ready to fight. First
a skirmish line was thrown out, aud
you could see more or less uneasi
ness. among the redskins as ono
and another would claw at his
ears, eyes or nose, but when the
order to charge was sounded, and
the bee battalions began to move in
double qaick,' q route and stampede
always followed. 1t is q fact, John,
if ever / told the truth in my life.
What l am saying is true. Those
bees fought all my battles across
the plains, and this is my 'old queen
sure enough. ."-Napa (Cal.) Reg
