Correct Major!

Maj. Armstrong, formerly sgent for
the Crows, WIS In town.a day or two
last week, returning to bis ranch on
the Rosebud on Sunday. The Major
expresses himself very strongly in re-
gard to the weak policy of the govern,
melt in its treatment of the Indians.
He says it is the fault of the govern
ment that the Indians are what they
are, a shiftless, worthless set of beggars,
and that the only way to rule them is
to lay down the law with an iron hand
and give them no more privileges
than the whites bave.-Billings GA

Shrewdness OF "A Mouse,

The wild mice Of southern California
have n deadly enemy in the snakes
which abound there. In order 10 avoid
these reptiles the shrewd old mice take
possession Of the birds nests in the cactus
plants. and there rear their young. A
traveller states that he has seen an old
mouse run down the trunk Of cactus
with half dozen young ones holding on
with their mouths TO various parts Of her
body. How they do this without being
injured by the cactus barks is mystery.

and woman are dead and the child IL
not expected to live till morning. The
deed was done with q Winchester
repeating rifle and terminated the
lives Of brutal wife bester, the vic
tim Of his temper and their innocent
offspring. Three weeks ago Rand
was put In Jail for beating his wife,
but was released by her giving q
bond. This morning Rand again as
saulted his wife and then left the
house. He returned ut 6 o'clock, and
his fret act, according TO the story Of
his young daughter, was TO catch her
mother by the head and pull her of
the chair. Mrs. Rand sent the child
for help. Just as the child left the
house she heard a shot. She looked
around and saw her mother running
across the yard with the baby in heI
arms. Just then she heard another
shot and saw her mother fell with the
Uaby underneath. A minute latei
the girl heard q shot in the house. The
shots attracted a CROWD, who found
that the firrt shot had struck Mrs
Rand in the shoulder and passed
through her arm. The second shot
had struck her in the spine, passed
through her breast and broke the
baby s.back, In which il lodged, while
the third shot had carried Off the tor
Of the murderer's head and scattered
his brains over the house. He died
instantly, his wife fingered twenty
minutes and the baby is still alive, al
though physicians say 1t cannot live.
The murderer WAS 46 years old and his
wife 80 years old. He came from Old
ham, Me-, in 1852. Insanity runs in
the family, one of Rsnd'a uncles hsv-
ing hanged himself and the Other
ended his life in a way that nevel
was solved. He was worth few
thousand dollars, but was inssnelS
ealous. He had lived with his wifi,
sixteen years, but had only been mar
ried five years. There are five more
children left.-Independent, 3rd.

WAsHINGroN, March l3.-Hon.
&. E Cook, Judge William O'Con-
nor and Colonel W. F. Smell, the
delegation from southwest-rn Kan
sas, and DR.. y. G. Chase, delegate
from No-Aan's-Land, were accorded
. hearing yesterday by the House
Public Lands Committee in opposi-
ton TO the VOORHEES, bill to attach
No-Mxn's-Land to Kansas for ju-
dicisi purposes.
Judge sO'Connor addressed the
committee, protesting earnestly
against the bill and the illegitimate
objects sought to be accomplished
He sad the contemplated legislation
Was not necessary at this time, be-
cause most of the land in the four
Kansas counties cut off from the
Garden City district had already
been taken, and No Mau's- Land had
not been surveyed, hence there would
be no business for new laad Office
70 transact until the surveys could
be made for which there was no
present appropriation. The people
Of the four counties in Kansas pro-
tested against being disturbed by the
corrupt scheme which was intended
by this bill. It's scheme purely of
apecnlation forced upon Congress by
persous outside the land district,
who had boldly asserted that they
could secure sufficient suport to make
It success. These parties had sold
lots in the putxtive town of "Voor-
hses upon the hypothesis that they
could control high officials of the
Government in the location of the
land sllce II voorhees,. This was
regarded in Kanaas as An outrage
and appeal was made to the commit
tee aud Congress to set the seal of
condemnation upon such action. The
people occupying No-Msn's- Land
should be accorded the protection of
. Territorial Go4srnment aud such
protection was Afforded by the pend
ing Oklahoma bill. The settlers in
that section had the right to demand
from Congress that just protection

New Stories About the Storms Ravages
in West Virginia.
WHEELING, W. Va, July 14.-As the
ravages of the storm are repaired addi-
tional advices as to the extent of the de-
struction are received from sections not
before open to communication. A dis
patch from Berea, Richie County, bring
the first advices from the Hughes river, q
small stream flowing through Dodd-
ridge and Richie counties. On its banks
the destruction is complete. Hundreds of
farmers in these two counties, as we'll as
Calhoun, Gilmer and Lewis, are absolutely
ruined. Near Berea, at o'clock Monday
evening, there was cloud burst that in q
few minutes brought the waters higher
than ever known. j. R. Bakers store, ten
feet above ordinary high water, was car
ried away from its foundation and every
thing below was swept clean. Every
bridge on the stream is gone. Houses,
barns, granaries, hay stacks and grow
ing crops disappeared entirely, and
piles of drift and debris were left ten or
twelve feet deep in the valley. For miles
the soil was washed off as clean as floor,
leaving hard, smooth clay surface. The
loss on Hughes river is placed at $5OO, 900.
On Wednesday Terra Alta, Preston
County, was visited by cyclone, of which
no news reached here owing to the lack
Of mail or telegraph facilities. The track
of the cyclone lay right through the heart
of the town and twisted houses from their
foundations and carried roofs hundreds of
feet from the buildings. No one was in

A TARTAR BREAKFAST,

The Staple Food of a Hardy and War
Loving Race.
went into one of the stone-built re-
cesses, where several of our Tartars
were crouching round a small grass
root fire, and was considerably edited
by watching them cooking and dis
patching their morning repast. To
begin with, very dirty copper vessel
was put ON the fire and filled with some
green weed like nettles, barley -four
and water. While one of the men
stirred this pottage round and round
with a wooden ladle another produced
some raw meat-a bit of the dong
had shot. This he proceeded to tear
up into small strips and throw them
on the fire, every now and then pop
ping a raw lump into his mouth and
masticating it with the greatest ap-
parent gusto. Even the bits on
the fire were quickly disposed of
after being merely signed. AS soon as
the pottage was considered ready it
was ladled out into little wooden cups,
like the whisky ''quaighs" of the
Highlands, minus the handles, which
each man produced from inside the
breast of his dirty wooden coat, and
gulpcd up from them with a prodigi-
Gus amount of noise. After being re-
plenished again and again until the
pot was emptied, the cups were care
fully licked clean and redeposited from
whence they had been taken. Another
course of flesh was about to be par
taken of after the manner of the first,
but a regard for my own appetite for
breakfast prevented my waiting to see
it discussed. These hardy Tartars are
quite independent Of any other dishes
beyond their little wooden bowls. In
these they mix their suttoo (meal made
from barley) with q little water and
salt and make an expeditions repast Of
it whenever they feel hungry. Indeed.
this kind of knocked porridge seems
to be their staple food.-Blacks0ood,

the encounter. The wound is a severe one,
but on account of hemorrhage the doctors
are unable to decide whether it is
likely to prove serious. The duel was
fiercely fought. General Boulanger tried
hard to kill NJ Floquet, and threw himself
upon him again and again. When NJ. Flo
quet received the wound in the hand and it
began to bleed, the seconds proposed that
the fight be discontinued, but both the
combatants refused to stop. It is now be-
lieved that the wound in General Boulang-
ers throat is o serious one. NJ. Floquet
received scratches on his hand, chest and
foot. The seconds have made formal re-
port in which they state that General Bou-
LANCER received serious wound in the
neck.
DR.. Monod, who is attending General
Boulanger, has issued q bulletin regarding
wound in the light side Of the Generals
neck, and that it causes marked difficulty
in his respiration. At present the doctor
is unable to give an opinion as to what
turn the case may take.
At o'clock p M General Boulanger's
physicians said there was q marked i'm
provement in his condition, but they de-
cllned to make prognosis. There is q
deep wound in the Generals neck, which
seriously interferes with respiration. Sew
eral journals assert that NJ Floquet's
sword penetrated General Boulanger's
neck six centimeters at point between
the jugular vein and the carotid artery.
The Soir says that the condition of the
General is serious, that high fever sue
ceeded extreme prostration, and that his
respiration is rapid and sometimes very
difficult.
NJ. Maquet, in the absence of General
Boulanger, presided at banquet. He an
nounced that the Generals condition was
as favorable as possible.
NJ. Rochefort, on learning the result of
the duel, exclaimed: "How wonderful, the
Youngest General in the army let himself
be pinked by a barrister nearly 60 years

NJ. Flouquet presided at the unvailing
of a statue to Gambetta. In his speech he
extolled the patriotic frmness which Gam
BETA had shown during the war with Ger

which he afterwards foiled the reactionary
