Eating Up the Moon.

1t il learned that at the time of the
eclipse Of the moon on the night of the
22a of July several thousand of Kiowa
and Co'uanelie Indians were assembled
on their reservation at Anadarko Agency
in Indian Territory to get the rations
furnished by the government. As the
eclipse of the moon began the Indians
became much alarmed lest some great
misfortune was going to happen the
chief. On seeing the phenomenon the
princiral chief commanded the warriors
to shoot at and drive away the evil thing
that was obscuring the moon. The Or
ders were Immediately obeyed. The
redskins continued to fire at the dark
object until they exhausted all their
ammunition. As the moon begun to get
out of the eclipse they were much elated
attributing it entirely to their efforts
and when the eclipse was finished they
gave loud shout of victory, and dis.
persed to their wigwams.
Not few barbaTous Oriental people
have held that an eclipse was caused by
some monster which was attempting to
eat up the sun or the moon Us the case
might be, and they were accustomed to
resort to loud noises to drive the destroy
er away. 1t appears that these savages
entertained some such belief which may
suggest an ancient but long lost conuec.
ton between the people of the two
hemispheres.

Who Want Free Wool 2

Who are demanding free wool in the
present dispute over taxing wool? Is it
the wool growers? Let US see.
California is the largest wool-growing
State in the Union, with 5,5o0,OOO sheep,
and her delegation in the House is near
evenly divided on the question, with
one free wool United States Senator just
elected on the tariff-reform issue.
Texas is the next largest wool-growing
State, with 4,5O0,OO0 sheep, and for ten
years past her people have elected
solid delegation in Congress in favor of
free wool.
Ohio is the third wool State. with
100000 sheep, and Oregon the fourth,
with 5000, 600 sheep, and both are strong
ly Republican States and favor high war
tariff taxes on everything, including
wool.
Michigan is the fifth wool State, with
100000 sheep, and her delegation in
the House is nearly equally divided on
the question.
New York is the sixth wool State,
with 100000 sheep. She has nearly
equally divided delegation in Congress
on the issue, and is next to certain to
vote for free wool at the next election.
Missouri is the seventh wool State,
with l 100000 sheep, and her delegation
is nearly unanimous in favor of free
wool.
Indiana ranks about with Missouri,
and her delegation is about equally
divided on the question.
Texas, whose delegation in Congress is
unanimous for free wool, grows more
sheep than all New England, New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania combined.
California and Michigan, two of the
great wool.growing States which have

Maple Trees in Montana.

Two years ago Mr.. Louis Hebert. who
lives six miles from Helena, in the
Prickly Pear Valley, says the Indepen-
dent, ordered some choice seeds from the
great sugar district of Canada, from
which he has successfully raised 500
healthy and vigorous maple trees, which
are growing finely. This enterprise was
started by Mr.. lIebert as an experiment,
although he entertained firm belief
that sugar trees could be made to grow
here as successfully as they are grown in
Canada, and the trial has demonstrated
the fact that they can. Mr.. Hebert will
transplant his trees this season, and in
two more years they will be ready to
tap. In honor of tho success of the en-
terprise, Mr.. Hebert has christened his
ranch Maple Grove. He has ordered
another large quantity of seeds and will
engage in making sugar on an extensive
scale, and we are informed that several
others, convinced of the feasibility OF
making maple sugar in Montana, will
follow Mr.. Heberts example, and in the
course of a few years Prickly Pear Val
ley may be turned into a great maple or.
chard and sugar-making become one OF
Helena's chief industries.

BOZEMAN, M. t. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST r. 1888


Up from the south ut break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh disnay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore
Like herald in haste, to the chieftaln's

The terrible grumb!e, and rumble, and
roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
And wider still those billows of war
Thundered along the horizons bar,
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled,
Msking the blood of the listener cold
As he thought of the stake in that
fiery fray,
With Sheridan twenty miles away.
But there's a road from Winchester
town,
A good, broad. highway leading down;
And there, thro' the flash of the morn.
ing light,
A steed as black as the steeds of night
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight;
As if he knew the terrible need,
He stretched away with the utmost
speed;
Hills rose and fell--but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
Under his spurning feet the road
Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the landscape flowed away behind,
Like an ocean flying before the wind;
And the steed, like bark fed with fur.

Swept on with his wild eyes full of fire!
But 10 he is nearing his hearts desire.
He is snuffing the smoke of the roaring
fray,
With Sheridan only five miles away.
The first that the general saw were the
groups
Of stragglers, and then the retreating
troops;
What was done-what to do-,a glance
told him both.
And, striking his spurs, with terrible
oath
He dashed down the lines mid storm
of hurrahs,
And the wave of retreat checked its
course there because
The sight of the master compelled it to
pause.

one heat; but no apparent effort was
made to urge him to win, as Condee took
the fifth heat in a jog. Time 2:29. There
is great regret expressed on all sides
that the weeks races, which have been
very fair and well contested, should he
marred by what bears every evidence of
being gross fraud. The Judges did all
they possibly could, but it was of no
avail. The job was put up by "mechanis"
at the business. which proved highly
successful for them. After tn. fourth
heat it was appearant to all the judges
that Ranchero had the race all his own
way, and his friends proceeded at once
to back him at even money against Con-
dee, as the latter was very tired. The
manner in which Ranchero was driven
in the last heat justifies the general be-
lief that there was something wrong. 1t
is significant fact that although there
was hot horse in the race but has re-
cord below 2:22i, there were but two
heats trotted below 2:25. The 2:i5 class
trot yesterday and the 2:27 class on Wed.
nesday were each better and more excit-
ing than the free-for-all to day. Never
theless, the pool box did an immense
business, having received over 100000
during the day. In the first heat of the
tree-for-all about $1,000 was invested in
French mutuals. Everybody had plenty
of money. The following is summary
