Cora and chaska,

The marriage Of Miss Cora Belle Fellows
has finally occurred, and she is now the
lawful wife Of Chaska. the Indian. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. Han
lord, an Episcopal missionary who halls
from Africa. Miss Felowa was anxious
that the marriage come off some weeks
ago. but the Rev. Hanford refused to Off.
ciate before announcing officially from the
pulpit three successive Sundays. Chnska
IL low type of an Indian with badly
pock. marked face and far from handsome.
He has small trace OF white blood hut it
cannot be discovered. He is an ignorant
Santee. and when he visits Fort
Bennett it is well to look out> as
he has kleptomaniac tendencies. He
has passed manv a day in the guard house.
Since counting Cora, he has been a sort of
dude. discarding part Of his Indian cos.
tune. A few days before lie left for the
his hair and wash out the red paint on the
scalp. It seems that Belle became infatu-
ated with Chaska while teaching at Fort
Bennett. She made him presents and he
now wears a mammoth gold ring, engraved
Cora to Chaska." Other little messages
OF love passed between them. and n lady

kissed Chaska before tho school

her love and suggested marriage agreeing
that she would educate and work for him.
Dewett aleo says his youngest brother in.
formed him months ago that white girl
wanted to marry Chaska. 1t seems that
Miss Fellows conducted tho courtship and
won Chaska's hand after hard work. Miss
Fsllows, previous to coming to Dakota,
resided at Capitol Hill. Washington. and
is highly related. She talks Sioux like a
native. John Robb an Indian trader at

The Tariff Bill.

The Mills tariff bill and the reports of the
majority are minority OF his committee
were reported to the house. The bill WAS
changed in very important particulars
within an hour before it was presented to
the house. The change. relate TO sugar
and worsteds. The change in the sugar
schedule means this: The new clnssifca
tion which has been devised has been re.
jectci and the classification of the cxistin.
law Is to stand. The rate of reduction iH
changed from - to 20 per cent which i.
equivalent to about 40 cents per hundred.
The reduction will in the main effect those
grades of sugar which come less into com
petition with the Ls uisiana sugar
than those embraced in the reduction
originally provided in the bill. Friends OF
the bill claim that this plan will insure the
six Louisiana votes for the bill. Some
statesmen arc not cert ain that this will
be the result. All deny that II bargain ha.
been made. The worstcd men complained
that it would be to their disadvantage ii
they are to he required to wait until the
wool schedule shall 20 into effect before
they can secure relief from the present dis.
elimination.
The committee accordingly inserted a
provision that the clause relative to dis
elimination between wool and worsted
should go into effect upon the passage Of
the bill. The opponents Of the hill think
that the worsted men would have secured
their relief quite as soon il they had per.
mitted the principal clause tostanA. They
do not expect any bill to be passed to &c
into effect before October.

POISONED FRUIT.

An Incident Showing the Terrible Com
sequences of Unripe Fruit ana the
Mysterious Dangers of the Season.
The inhabitants of the city of New
York became greatly excited recently be-
cause cargo of poisoned fruit was re-
Ceived and distributed in the metropolis
from which several people became sick.
Poisoned fruit is bad enough, ii Is true,
but how about the green fruit that Is sold
and dovourcd during the entire summer
How about the poisonous water that is
drank by the millions in the cities of the
land every day How about the hot
weather that produces disease germs in
the air and in the water? All these are
poisons far worse in their effects than a
single cargo of poisoned fruit and men,
women and children have TO fight against
them all summer long But the question
is asked what can we do Unripe fruit
Is shipped TO the city and we are often
compelled 10 eat that or none Mt all. The
water may be bad but what can we
drink?
There is only one way of absolutely
preventing these pOisons, or checking
them before they produce feyers, dysen-
terry, cholera or death, and that Is by the
use of pure spirits. All doctors admit
this now, and pure whiskey is the first
thing that is always prescribed when

The Light Horsemen of Russia Com
pared with the German Cavalry.
Following is an extract from Lieu
tenant Swift's prize essay in the July
number Of "The Public Services"
Although II has been customary to
speak of all German cavalry rs Uhlans
on account Of their success in Prussian
wars, these cavalry, as well as those of
Austria, are composed of Lancers, Hus-
sars, Cuirassiers and Dragons. The
Russian cavalry, with the exception of a
few fancy regiments Of the Guard, may
be said TO have been completely trans
formed into Dragons since 1889. The
Germans preserve the traditions of the
beau sabrcur, and affect the beadlong
charge and the use of cold steel. If they
weapon in allowing some caTbines and
rovOlveTs TO be carried, il has
been under certain amount of
protest. They do not propose to use
these weapons on horseback, Except as
signal They feel, however, that some-
time it may be necessary to dismount to
fight on foot, but for this our German
cavalier always feels bound to apologize.
The Russians, on the contrary, have dis
carded cold steel for hot lead They are
armed principally with the carbines and
revOlvers, which they use well on foot
and on horseback. They are the first
European natives to acknowledge that
cavalry can fight on foot without losing
the distinctive attributes of cavalry
They will apply to the fullest extent
the cavalry lessons taught by Sheridan
and Forrest in this country, and will
be the first to give to Europe the idea of
cavalry army moving with oeleritv,
crossing rivers and mountains without
base of supplies, attacking infantry,
cavalry, breastworks or gun. boats, wher-
ever opportunity occurs. The world
may be prepared for new surprise when
the light horsemen of Russia Join battle
with the ponderous horsemen Of Middle
Europe.
The Russians can Immediately dispose
of nearly quarter of a million of horse.
men-outnumbering the cavalry of Ger
many and Austria combined, by nearly
a hundred thousand.
Imagine 100000 of such soldiers as Nez
Perce Joseph, and White Bird, and Olli-
cut, Joseph's brother led across mountains
and through rivers, for fifteen hundred
miles, battling ten times their number, in
1877. Drill them in advance of modern
tactics, give them the confidence of
a powerful nation arms of the latest
model, artillery Of their own, and educate
the chiefs in every phase of the modern
trade OF war, and you will form some idea
of the cavalry that now awaits the word

Russia in Europe.

Dueline Made obnoxions.

In this enlightened and progressive
age there is no use of fighting to the
death by either pistol, knife or sword.
The extremely unfortunate murder case
that occurred some time since in the good
old State of Virginia, between the sons of
two Of the most prominent gentlemen of
that section, and the trial of the mur-
derer is now pending at Culpeper Court
House, Virginia, might have been easily
ayerted bya little diplomacy on the part
of their respective friends and a bottle of
Tharp's best old rye Berkeley whisky.
This ardent peace-maker can only be
found at SIS + street northwest. II il
sonal disputes, and save your honor,
and, perhaps, your life. The Berkeley
is great arbitrator and pacifier; it heats
pistols, swords and knives by very large
majority.

Editor Chase's visit To Indianapolis Was
Useless.
A dispatch from indianapolis says of
one Of the attendants at the Colored Con-
ference there: "W. c. Chase, editor of the
Washington ID. C) Bee, colored Repub-
lican paper, announced upon his arrival
here yesterday that he had been sent
here by Senator Quay and the National
Republican Committee for the purpose of
preventing the conference from adopting
resolution indorsing Cleveland and
Thurman; but from the fact that such a
resolution was passed this morning unan-
imouslY, not to say uproariously, would
indicate that Chase had met with small
success. His pretensons were laughed
at, and when he SAID he had given 1t out
that he was an Independent, whereas he
was an out.andout Republican, he
was told it was not necessary he
should lie about little thing of that
kind. Chase was afraid he would not be
admitted to the conference if he told who
he was, and the heavy responsibility
Quay and the National Republican Com
mittee had put upon him, and was sur
prised when told it made no difference,
and that the conference would be glad to
see Quay If he could spare the time to

Lieutenant of Police Alexander A.
Greer, in command of the Second Pre-

street, about . o'clock this morning, of
typhoid fever, after an illness of several
weeks
Lieutenant Greer was one ofthe original
members of the force appointed Septcm.
Der IL, 1861. At the last anniversary of
the organization of the force he related
how that he went out on the first night
and was caught in the rain. The men
were not prepared for storm, and when
he returned to the station he found that
he had walked the soes Off his shees

ford; Privates John II. Findley, Cornelius
Noonan, Goodwin Pierce and Caleb
Sebastian. There are few others who
were appointed few days later and are
considered original members.
The deceased Lieutenant was born in
Prince Georges County Md, March Z,
1919, and Unsupported private on the
force September II, 1861, and he was ap.
pointed to the position he held at his
death on February 13, 1870. In all these
years he was tried only once for violating
the rules, and this charge was dismissed.
There was never a man on the force
held in higher esteem by his fellow Of
iicers than Lieutenant Greer. He was n
Christian gentleman, and very cautious
and conscientious officer.
During his connection with the force
he has commanded the Capitol Hill,
South Washington and northwest pre-.
cincts
One Of the remarkable things in con.
nection with Lieutenant Greer's expe
Tiepce is the faotthat he came here from
Prince Georges County ina wagon in his
youthyand has never been outside of the
District limits since then. lie never rode
on steamboat or a railroad train in his
life. The death of the deceased makes
