there is hardly any doubt but that
Senator Chandler will he renom-

could do the Republican party
no better service than to return

Indian HOrSGmamShip.

A correspondent of the Omaha Herald, having visited an Arapahoe camp, gives the following account of an Indian drill, ordered for his amusement.
 Fifty fine looking young men, mounted upon ponies, drew up be- fore the tents. At signal from the chief they began their evolutions with a loud yell.
 In a moment they disappeared over a neighboring hill. Then there suddenly rose a mighty trampling of horses feet, and they swept past again, so compact that I only saw a ball made of horses and men.
 Splitting in two, one body swept to the right and another to the left, and again they disappeared. Pres ently they charged each other in solid lines, and while the spectator waited breathlessly for the shock of collision, the files skilfully opened to the right and left, and the lines passed the intervals without touch ing.
 Now came the moment for dis playing individual horsemanship. Some of the riders approached, leach lying so close to his pony's back that nothing but the horse could be seen. Others stood erect upon their animals backs. Some hung to the horse by one foot and one hand, so that their bodies were completely protected by those of the ponies.

A Wyoming Wolf Hunt.

A Cheyenne dispatch of a recent date gives the following description of a wolfhunt near that place:
 Prominent stockmen organized a wolf-hunt which was a highly g6c- cessful inauguration of a novel and exciting sport, certain to become very popular in this section. Coy otes and wolves have multiplied with marvellous rapidity since the repeal of the bounty law, and have killed hundreds of young horses and cattle on the range immediate ly southeast of this city. The hun ters moved in parties and encircled the country for fifty miles around a wild canyon, in which a number of dens had been located. In the chase were included the best riders and shots in this portion of the Territory, all we'll mounted and fully armed. A number of ladies were in the lines deployed over the prairie. Wolves and coyotes bound ed from the tall grass on rocky ra- vines in the big circle, and were away like the wind to their refuge in the cliffs. There was much wild riding after the brutes. Cowboys lariated a number, and many were shot down. Twelve big wolves were smoked from the first cavern assail- ed. All were killed as they ran. Dogs drew seven heavy, wicked looking fellows from the second. Thirteen died in a den rather than become targets for the six-shooters and rifles of the hunters. Their brushes were secured by blowing up the cave with giant powder. A bar becue was held at the rendezvous at noon. Two hundred persons took part in the chase.

The SmOkelecS Powder.

A London (Eng, dispatch of the 18th inst, says: Military men are watching with keen interest the ex- periments on the Continent with the new smokeless powder. So far nothing except it's higher cost has been brought forward against 1t to counterbalance the very evident ad- vantages which result from its use. At the Spandau maneuvers yester- day both Emperors watched with great interest the shooting from the side using this smokeless powder, and noted with much satisfaction that on that side the movements of the troops, not being hampered by the dense volume of smoke which hung over the opposing army were characterized by much greater pre- cision and freedom of action. It is not strictly correct to speak of this new powder as smokeless, for there certainly is some smoke, but 1t is very light, and at Spandau yester- day, after the firing had continued for an hour or more, at distance of 300 yards from the troops using this powder, no smoke whatever could be seen, although a nearer approach disclosed a light, steam like vapor What was, perhaps, quite as noticeable a feature was the absence to a great extent of the deafening noise to which we are ac- customed from the explosion of firearms. It is calculated that the report of given volume of the smokeless powdor is just half as loud as with the same volume of ordinary powder.

CherOReeS Will Probably Sell.

Tahlequah, Ind. T., August 2 1889.-The election in the Cherokee Nation has demonstrated the fact that the Cherokees are by no means unanimously opposek to selling the strip" as several candidates who run on the platform of selling were elected by overwhelming majorities over those who opposed the sale. Ex-Chief Bushyhead favors the ap- pointment of commission to ne- gotiate with the government repre- sentatives. It is evidently becom- ing apparent to the Cherokees that they must submit to the inevitable decree of civilization.

NUMBER Al

These young warriors threw ob- jects upon the ground, and picked them up at full gallop, and drew bows and arrows from beneath the horses necks. Some of the men exchanged horses while riding.
 Again a man would fall from his horse, as if wounded, and two oth- CTS riding up beside him, would take him by an arm and 8 leg, swing him between their horses, and carry him of. This exhibition lasted nearly two hours.

Tbe Governors Chase.

The Governor sat in his easy chair, a spyglass at his eye: "Has any one seen 5000 men and train of cars go by? 4 pilot train with the bad men on, one more and an other one still :; with rattle of wheels and clang of bell, and shriek of the whistle shrill? They travel not as the flying skip, in silence and in fear; they whoop and holler and howl and yell for all the world to hear. They advertised the place of the fight, for six long weeks or more, and I fe ar that I cannot find the place, till the brutal fight is OCT. Oh rally and squander, my men at arms, and look if you may see where three railway trains and 5000 men have hidden away from me-"
 They rallied and squandered, those men at arms, they searched the county through; and another Governor came along, and joined the searchers, too. They looked in the clock and under the stairs, and under the bed they peered, and out in the kitchen and everywhere, but the trains had disappeared. They felt in their pockets and look ed in their hats, and lowered a man down the well, but where all thos2 sluggers had disappeared to. there wasn't nobody could tell. They asked a boy atLowery's store, and the blind man down by the hall, and the woman who keeps the can dy shop, but they hadn't seen noth- in at all. They dragged the pond at Sawyer's mill, and they question ed the tollgate man, and all through the lot at the back of his house, the Governor raced and ran. But all in vain, for wherever he looked, went, the people he sought were gone, and the only place where he didn't look, was where the fight was on. And he never knew there had been fight, until a week and a day; then he sent a Constable after the men, four thausand miles away.
 Long live the State of Massaslp The Governor, long live hel Ifever the moon should run away may he be there to seel Should hostile powers invade his land at some far distant day, may he find the foe that wastes his State before it goes away. And great good medicine had It been, for the land of the sunny South, had the Governor closed his smoothbore eyes and looked with his long-range mouth. Brooklyn Eagle.

Pillows Made of Pine.

During the visit to the home of "a most estimable lady living on In dian River the editor of the Cocoa (Fla.) Spirit was told of discov- cry that had been made, which may prove boon to sufferers from lung or bronchial trouble. This lady having heard that il ere was a pc culiar virtue in a pillow made from pine straw, and, having none of that material at hand, made one from soft pine shavings and had the pleasure of noting immediate bene- fit. Soon all the members of the household had pine shaving pillows, and it was noticed that all coughs, asthmetic or bronchial troubles abated at once after sleeping few nights on the pillows. An invalid suffering from lung trouble derived much benefit from sleeping upon mattress made from pine shavings. The material is cheap and makes a very pleasant and comfortable mat tress, the odor of the pine permeat- ing the entire room, and absorbing and dispelling all unpleasant and objectionable odors.

His Last Request.

I heard a story on an Irishman the other day which I think is new said friend at the club This Irish man was in the habit of going drunk every night of his life and beating poor wife Biddy in good old fashion. He didn't lick her because he dis liked her or wanted to punish her, but just because he thought it the proper thing to do. Finally, how ever, the patient woman could stand 1t no longer and appealed to the priest. The reverend father went to her home that evening and waited for Pat. He came, drunk as usual, and the good priest took him in hand.
 Pat, says he, you're drunk.
 Yes, your riverence, says Pat, I'm feelin' purity good.
 We'll, how long is this going to continue I'd like to know?
 Jist as long as I kin git a dhrop of the creatur' says Pat; I can't stop dhrinking.
 Now, see here, Pat, says the good old father, I'll tell you what you'll stop this right here tonight. If you ever get drunk again I'll turn ye into rat-d'ye mind that? If 1 don't see ye I'll know about it jist tue same whether ye git drunk or not, and five git drunk into rat ye go, Now remember that, there's goodman.
 The priest went away and Pat was docile that night. But the next night when he came home and kick ed open the door one glance showed Biddy that he was loaded to the hat. She gauged his jag" at once and saw that he was in fighting trim, so she lodged behind the table in an attitude of defense.
 Don't be afraid, darling, said Pat, in subdued key, as he steadied himself up-before dropping into chair, Pm not going to lay the weight of me finger on ye. I want ye to be kind to me tonight, darlin,' and to reminder, if ye kin, the days when we was swatehearts, and when I was always kind to ye and ye loved me.
 Ye know his riverence was here last night and he told me if iver got drunk again he'd turn me into a rat. I'm dbrunk this mint, dar- lin.' The praste didn't see me, but he knows Pm drunk, and this night into rat I go.
 want ye to be kind to me, dar- lin,' and watch me, and when ye see me gittin, little, and the hair growin' out on me, an me whiskers gittin' long, for the Gods sake, darlin', as ye love me kape yer eyes on the cat.-Chicago Mail.

One of the best tributes to the regard in which women are held is found in the fact that men, the world over, revolt at the thought of hanging one of that sex, even though she may have committed murder. This feeling is so strong in England that Mrs. Maybrick may escape the full penalty of the law
