want to get their newspapers at three
cents, and are hoping for the time when
they can get any of them at one cent, and,
as a consequence, the attaches OF the
printing press are by the thousand ground
under the cylinders, you want God to
take care of you and your families Some
of your best work is as much unappreci-
ated as was Milton'S paradise Lost" for

Let thrones and powers and kingdoms be
Obedient, mighty God, to Thee;
And over land, and stream, and main.
Now wave the scepter OF Thy reign
Oh, let that glorious anthem swell.
Let host to host the triumph tell,
Till not one rebel heart remains,
But over all the Saviour reigns.

ability that the approval is unanimous. Over one

A Great Bear Hunter.

SCRANTON, September 22.-Nicholas Burdick
is the boss bear hunter of Bear Creek. Every
winter for twenty years he has spent several
weeks in pursuit OF bruin with dog and gun,
and during that time he says he has run down
and killed forty seven full grown bears. He
is broad shouldered siX-footer, with bushy,
brown whiskers and thick. curly dark hair,
and he looks rs though he possessed muscular
energy enough to take an ordinary sized bear
by the paws and fling it over his head. In a
talk with the writer few days ago Mr.. Bur-
dick said:
"a few times have run down bears that
were as cunning as foxes when they found that
the dogs were close upon them. Five years
ago last winter Charlie Bentley and had set
q day to start q bear in Buffers Swamp. The
snow was not more than seven inches deep,
and following bear all day was not as tire
some as it generally is in mid winter. very
pleasant gentleman from Philadelphia had
been shooting pheasants in the neighborhood
for a couple of days, and he heard about our
proposed bear hunt and wanted to go along.
He said he had never seen bear IN the woods,
expressed desire to get glimpse at one. and
declared that he didn't believe he could shoot
one if he saw it. We thought so, too and we
told him that we would be glad to have him
go with us. He had tip-top rifle and he was
on hand when we got ready to start at day
light.
"Old Dash, the dog that we always took
with us when we wanted to have right live
ly hunt, was in fine trim that morning. No
bear ever got the best of him. but he died a
natural death two years ago and haven't had
as good bear chaser since. The Pniladelph-
ian was as clipper as a lark over the prospect
of seeing a bear before he got back and Char
lev and felt about as good as two men could
feel. We reached the swamp along towards
9 o'clock, and il wasn't half an hour before
we had found a bear track and put Dash on
it. Then we suggested TO the Philadelphia
man that, for q while, he had better stand or
a big pine stump that overlooked that part OF
the swamp where Dash was then working and
Charley and went TO different sides OF the
swamp and waited Tor old Dash TO hustle the
bear out.
All the forenoon the dog raced M and
down the swamp and failed 90 start the old
fellow. Not one of US had got s ght of the beal
during all that timc but we knew that he had
not left tho swamp, and SO We felt encouraged

FICTION OUTDONE,

The Machias Republican tells of Maine
man who spent night in Macbias last week.
The hero of the remarkable series of adventures
is Harvey z. Osgood who says he was born
in Princeton in 1923. In 1843 he ran away and
enlisted i'll the United States army, serving
in various commands until the close of the war
of the rebellion, being several times a prisoner
and, in fact, escaping from Kirby Smith across
the Rio Grande in the last days of hostilitieS.
But Osgood was no sooner in Mexican terrific
ry than he became the captive of band of
marauding greasers.
Mr.. Osgood claims to have passed twenty-five
years of his life with these men, during which
time he learned to speak their language fluent
ly, which. he says, was the chief cause of his
long captivity, he having been retained for an
interpreter He claims to have made frequent
trials for liberty, but without success, for some
of these rowing bands were sure to recapture
him before he could reach the border.
The last trial he made for this purpose was
March Z, 1888, but he was pursued and when
he found escape impossible he threw up his
hands to surrender, but was too late to avoid
the effects of a volley fired by the pursuing
party, which caused the loss of nearly one-haf
of the right foot, another bullet splitting his
scalp. Still another entered his mouth, knock
ing out three teeth and breaking his jaw, and is
now lodged under the ear; still another which
was copper, struck him in the side, passing
around tho body, and is now lodged in the
breast, and, being poisonous, causes him much
trouble. 1t is by reason of this that he travels
serious jar will bring on hemorrhage.
Shortly after Osgoods recapture Mexican
troops ran down the greasers, and the Arneri-
cans long captivity was at an end. He made
his way to the city Of Mexico and then north
through the United States to Maine.
In addition to the loss of part of one hand
and one foot, Osgood carries seven bullets in
| various places in his body, some of which could
| doubtless have been taken out had no been in
| position to have received proper treatment.
| He has papers from the commanders Of various
| army posts throughout the country, stating
| that they have examined him closely, and be-
! lieve the account which he gives of himself to
| be true, and recommend him to the considera-
| tion of comrades farther on. He has also doz-
| ems of papers of q like nature from noted men
| in various places, all of which seem to be gen.
uine. Whether the story which he tells is true
or not, he is certainly remarkable man, and
! has undoubtedly seen rough times somewhere
He says he has not slept in bed for thirty
| years, and wants nothing better than q blanket
| upon the hard floor.

EDITORS CONSTITUTION: I find in the Bible,
in Numbers xii, that MoSess brother Aaron and
Marian spoke against HIM cause he married an
Ethiopian woman. Was she colored or not?
J. II. c.
The reference is to the first verse of the twelfth
chapter of Numbers, which reads: "And Marian
and Aaron srake against Moses because OF the
Ethiopian woman he had married." The marginal
reading is because of the Cushite woman be bad
married." The last time Zipporah his wife, is dis
tinctly mentioned is in Exodus xvii 3 G. The
commentators explain the passage III the twelfth
OF Numbers as follows That tie person mentioned
in that verse may have been an Ethiopian ,Cushitei
wife, taken after Zpporahs death; or the Ethiopian
princess of JoSephus; or it may have been zipporah
herself, which is rendered probable by the juxts~
position OF Cushan with INDIAN.

A Terrible Fight With Train Robbers in



ScHULEHBURG, Tex, September 24.-When
passenger train No. - on the Southern Pacific
road was two or three miles cast of Harwood
this evening at 20 o'clock the engineer was
signalled to STOP which he did, but immedi-
ately the engine had stopped moving broad
shouldered man with chin whiskers and mus

with a vicious six shooter. Another man,

go back and uncouple the express car from the
remainder of the train. Before the captor and
CAPTURED had reached the express car Con-
ductor +. L. Shaokelford, who was in charge
of the train, came up and asked what the mat

Come, stir yourselves and uncouple it,"
continued he, holding his vicious weapon in
such range that one discharge would kill both
fireman and conductor. The fireman then I'M

engine pulled it down the road about two
miles, leaving the express car, two coaches
and two sleepers behind, with no one to guard
them.

the cars, "thieves have got u.s.

apparent effort to smother himself in the up
holstery of his seat.
Bang! bangl bang! fourteen times, came
ringing back from the direction in which the
engine had rumbled away few minutes pre-
vious. Bud West and j. p. Mcneil were
on the mail car and were shooting at the rob-
bers. When the fusillade had ceased and the
bandits fled it was discovered that Engineer
Dan Toomey had been wounded. Two or
three robbers were also limping off, beseeching
their fleeing companions not to desert them.
Marshal Rankin and Deputies West Van
Ripper and Menal got on again at HARDWOOD and
struck out to Gonzales after bloodhounds to
track the robbers. They will take up the chase
this morning, and on account of the earth be-
ing softened by recent rains the trail will not
be difficult Constable York and City Marshal
Tom Took, of Welmar, are already on the
ground with well trained bloodhounds. The
train was backed to HARDWOOD, where a fresh
engineer was put in the place of the wounded
Toomy, to run the train to Houston. Bud
West says he saw only two men while the
firing was going on, but thinks from the num-
Der of different voices heard that there must
have been between six and ten in the gang.
He is of the opinion that the men making the
attack were green country boys and that the
leaders sat off some distance from the track
and directed affairs He is also certain that
he and Mcneil wounded two of the robbers.

Indians In Council.

LOWER BUTTE AGENCY,-via Chamberlin
Oak, September GA council of the Sioux
delegates with their agents, has met here to
discuss the Sioux bill for signatures, met today
for their second days work. The bill having
been fully explained by the commissioners
Yesterday, the Indians were today
expected to state their objections
or opinions, and to ask for any needed informa-
ton. After a number of Indians had spoken,
some in o non-committal fashion and others
openly favoring the bill. White Swan, Charger,
Swift Bird and Little No Heart, of the Chey-
enue River agency, all fine looking men,
dressed ia citizens clothes, made good points
against the bill, and there was eloquence and
sound sense in much they said. Their main
objections were: First, fifty cents an acre Is
too small price. The standard government
price for this kind of land is S1.25 an
acre. 2nd, the Flandiean Indians, who have
sold all their own land have no
right Ito share in the benefits Of
this land. Sd, we are not yet ready for land
in severalty. 4th, we are men like you, al
though we are not white, and why should we
not be consulted beforehand in regard to the
terms Of sale? We don't like to be compelled
TO sign papers Just as it is, nor refuse alto
20 years from the treaty Of 1868 and
the provision expires this year. We don't
think so. We havnt had the school
more than ten years.
The commissioners are well pleased at the
general result OF the days council, which have
been frank, able and a most Interesting express
sion OF opinion by the representative men Of
the large agencies.
