THE farmers of the country never
realized so fully as now that they are
coming to the front in national affairs.
That their prominence has been
brought about by unity of action, none
can deny. 1t certainly never could
have been accomplished by those farm
ers who have no time for consultation;
who have looked with aversion upon
any species of combination looking to
the betterment of their condition, and
who have openly frowned upon secret
farmers organizations. While
the objects of the grange are largely
educational and social, it will have in
the future prominent place in the
political history of the nation, for it
must recognize, as does every good
citizen, that good men and true are
needed to guide our great republic in
safety through the turbulent waters
created by that spirit of gain, of power
and of anarchy, which is widespread.
The grange is the home; it teaches de-
votion to principle, loyalty to country;
no man or woman will be made worse
by joining its ranks, and to such as
seek not only benefits to themselves,
but to all, it opens wide its arms, and
asks you to come in.-Our Grange
Homes

OUR fraternity has stood together
and demanded of the people through
our state legislature just recognition
in the public laws of that protection
which heretofore has been guaranteed
to other pursuits There has been,
therefore, liberality in state legislative
enactments and appropriations which
has given to our farmers everything
they have demanded. We have thereby
one of the best colleges for those of
our young men who wish to be in
structed in the science of agriculture
that can be found in this country. An
agricultural experiment station has
been established. Annual appropria-
tons have been secured to encourage
our agricultural fairs, to protect our
cattle from infectious diseases and to
protect our farmers from the sale of
spurious dairy productions; also public
aid to encourage the raising of beef
and mutton and to promote the dairy
interests of the state. This is compare
lively the work of few years and due
to the action of a cooperative brother
hood united by the strong and faithful
ties of agriculture. "-MaSter Maine

The husky rusty rustic of the tassels of the corn
And the raspin' of the tangled leaves as golden

The stubble in the furries-kind o. lonesome like,

A preachin sermons to us of the barns they growed

The strawsack in the medder and the reaper in the

The hosses in their stalls below, the clover over

Oh, it sets my heart cckin' like the tickin' of

A RECORD of the defalcations of the
last ten years, compiled by the New
York Herald, shows 465 cases, inyoly-
ing an aggregate sum of $4S, SIS, 1861,
or nearly s5O,OOO,OOO. "The worst
features of the record" says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, "are an evident in
crease in the latter half of the term
of the number and amount of the de-
lalcatlons; and the almost complete
failure to punish the defaulters. A
part of this failure is due to the dis
position of corporations robbed of
large amounts to settle with default
ers In order to recover a portion of
the stolen funds; another portion may
be ascribed to the extradition laws,
which make a place so conveniently
accessible as Canada a safe asylum
for many such rogues. The list
should help the negotiation of extra.
dition treaties that would make il
more difficult than at present fol
thieves of this class to escape trial and
punishment. 1t should also be OBJ
served, to those who look upon the
shameful record as impeaching the
morality of the day, that the default
ers are insignificant in number com
pared with the number of trusted EN-
ployes who never go wrong. There
are plenty of honest men in the
world in spite of these defalcations
but the newspapers have no reason tt
make note of them except in this gen
eral way"

Benjamin King the night driver
and Frank Anderson, the night clerk
were lodged in the county Jail late
last night, charged with the robbery.
Their arrest was the result of un.
tiring work on the part of NJ. g. Sui,
livan, manager of the Thiel's detec.
tive service in this city; ID. B. New
comb, agent of the Pacific express
company in Portland, and Supt
Gentsch of Salt Lake.
Anderson was the first to give in.
The detectives kept hard at work on
him and yesterday afternoon he made
full confession. duplicating King.
He said that when King left the
office to drive to the Northern Pacific
depot, he (Anderson) got in and rode
to G and First streets, where he got
off and took the sack of gold to a
vacant lot on Fourteenth and G
streets, where he buried all but $500

around his house at No. 40 North
Ninth street, between and J. Agent
Newcomb and Anderson went to the
places indicated, between and Bpm,
and recovered all the money.
A reporter called at Anderson's
house at 4:30 o'clock, but could find
no one at home, and was told by
some children that he had "gone up
town." The reporter then boarded a
G street car and at Third and @
streets, passed another car, on the
front platform of which were Agent
Newcomb and Anderson, who were
then on their way to recover the
money. The reporter, after repeated
efforts, found Anderson on First and
Pine streets little after 6 o'clock
last evening. He had just come from
supper and was going to the Office.
He was nervous and his face bore a
troubled look, which was in strong
contrast with the triumphant smile
which illuminated the face of man.

than fifty feet away conversing with
one of the detectives. He went
straight to the Office, after saying
that the money was in the box when
it left the Office Saturday night.
Anderson is an understood man
stoutly built and about "a years OF
age. He is pock-marked, and wears
no beard or mustache.
When King found out that Ander-
son had given in he followed suit
The two young men were taken to
the Office of the Thiel detective
agency, in the Liable building, where
they signed their names to full con.

gives the following particulars re-
garding terrible encounter between
Hugotown and Woodsdale men in
Stevens county whereby no less than
seven men lost their lives. Sam Robin
son, city marshal of Hugotown and
NJ. Cook of the same place, went to
Dudley ranch near Poney creek yes
terday accompanied by their wives to
look up some cattle which they were
trying to buy. While taking dinner
deputy sheriff Hart, a Woodsdale
man, . accompanied by five other
Woodsdale men, rode up to the party
and asked Robinson to surrender, Is
he had a warrant for his arrest.
Robinson said he would go short
distance from the camp leaving Cook
and the ladies behind, and then give
his enemies chance to take him.
He did so and on reaching a conven-
lent spot both parties opened fire
with the result that four Woodsdale
men were killed; the other two fec
to a strip of woods. Robinson es
capped unhurt. Cook hastened tc
Hugotown and gave the alarm, and
soon an armed squad went to theil
assistance, meeting a lot of Woods
dale men, an encounter took place in
which three more were killed, and ,
number wounded. According to the
liyeryman Shorty, the whole county
is virtually at war. John Cross
sheriff of Stevens county, was one OF
the men killed in the second fight.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition OF the Surplus in the
u. 5. Treasury engages the attention of
our Statesmen, but a more vital question
has our attention, and that is the reduc-
ton of the Surplus ConSumptives. Since
the discovery and introduction of Dr.
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, there has been marked decrease
in the mortality from this dreaded dis
ease, and it is possible to still further re-
duce the number of Consumptives.
How? By keeping constantly at hand
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
and using according to directions, upon
the appearance of the first symptoms,
such as Cough. Cold, a Sore Throat,
a Chest or Side Pain. Taken thus early
a cure is guaranteed.

The disposition shown in Congress
and by some of the state legislatures
to bring mercantile trusts within the
domain of the criminal law, is open to
the criticism that it proposes violent
remedy for merely transitional mis-
chief. Contracts in restraint of trade
being non-enforceable in the courts, il
follows that trusts have no strength
beyond the voluntary observance OF
their provisions by the several parties
composing them. The facts, that
they do rest upon pure voluntarian-
ism and that these voluntary engage
ments are meeting with efficient obed-
fence, are in themselves proofs of the
desperation of their trainers at the
existing state of their trade, since
men will not put their means, capa-
cities and opportunities under re-
straint willingly. Trusts are the re-
suit of over production, and will van.
ish as soon as the surplus products
disappear. Meanwhile, the evil
done by them is greatly exaggerated,
for men will not habitually continue
business at a loss, and as soon as pro-
fits grow fairly remuneratiye, it will
be impossible to hold members of
trusts to their restrictive engage
ments.

Novel Way of Hunting Birds.

The natives of the Queen Charlotte
Islands, off British Columbia, have a
novel way of hunting birds, using, in
.tead of bow aid arrows, peculiarly
shaped harpoon. This instrument is
about five feet long, the points being
made of piece of walrus tusk ten inches
long. The stick is of cyprus, and about
half way up three fish bones are arranged
around the stick, these points extending
outward in order to stick the bird in
case the point on the end should miss
This harpooa when used is held in the
left hand. In the right is paddle Of
hard wood eighteen inches long, on the
face of which is a groove extending al
most TO the ED. The tip of the harpoon
is fitted into this groove and then the
weapon IS thrown with double force.
The native can strike fowl in water
fully one hundred feet distant 4
hunter usually carries with him number
of these harpoons of various sizes.

The best method for checking deser-
tons is still problem to army officers.
Desertion has diminished of late, but
still about three thousand men desert
annually The bulk of the army is
stationed in the growing West, and
bright men in the ranks see the immi-
grant or new settler growing rich, while
they are compelled to await the lapse Of
years before they receive an increase OF
pay. Many men who would be contented
in the flled-up East become restive in
the West and desert. Adjutant General
Drum suggests that soldiers Disseminated
with the service be allowed to purchase
their discharge for fixed sum. This is
to Americans a radical suggestion, re-
marks the Boston Transcript, but is a
method in vogue in some foreign services,
and is reported to work we'll. Military
authorities are the more troubled about
desertion now because never in its his.
tory did the regular army contain finer
material in its ranks than it contains to-
day. 1t is just this element. intelligent
young men who enlisted during the
business depression of few years ago,
who sigh for an opportunity to return to
civil life and avail themselves of the
opportunities II presents.
