BUFFALO JONES reply to Senator
Rush was by no means the pyrotechnic
exhibition that was looked for. 1t is
pretty evident that Jones' hide is about
as thick as that on his buffalos. He
does not mind being called 'dirty
dog" and "a scoundrel" In fact he
would prefer such epithets to being
unnoticed. Notoriety, in whatever
shape it comes to him and Sutton of
Ford county, is welcome. Their paehy-
dermatous hides are proof against the
shafts OF hate, scorn or ridicuIe. The
most charming thing about Jones is
the splendid assurance with which he
yesterday expressed his unfaltering
purpose to ''liye up to the principles of
the golden rulel,' Dear, good, amiable
Buffalo Jonesl what shame it is to
all you "a scoundreI.'

Still MYstarY.

From the Usage City Free Press we
learn that DR.. J. d. Peak. coroner of
Usage county, has held an inquest over
the ashes found on Winnefred creek.
near Arvonia. No new facts were OBJ
tanned, and the jury returned verdict
that they believed the remains to be
those of human body, but whether
burned to cover the crime of murder, OF
otherwise, were unable to tell.''
The testimony of four gentlemen
who visited the spot before disturbed
agree in every particular that the heap
of ashes was about five feet and half
long, eighteen inches wide and four
inches high, tapering at the ends.
that the ground was soaked with oil
and that under the ashes were charred
sticks. Bones were found in the heap
three-fourths of an inch long and one
fourt b thick. No campers were near
nor were there any signs of any. The
following is the testimony of DIR. Roup
who visited the spot.
visited the place in Mr.. Humph-
rey's pasture, in company with j. q.
Lloyd, where some animal body had
been incinerated. I found body of
ashes some five and half feet long,
and two feet wide at the middle part,
tapering to half that width at the ex-
tremities; there had evidently been
great care care taken to insure a COM
plete destruction of all animal tissue;
the fire had been made by placing
prairie hay or grass at the bottom, then
| a quantity of wood crossWise of the
heap and a quantity lengthwise, as
witnessed by the charred hay and wood
| charcoal there present; there was
quite a large quantity of dry wood
still on the ground near the ash
| heap; there was quantity of reddish
| colOred ashes corresponding to the
| fleshy tissues of body, and an admix-
ture of bone ashes (weI reduced) to-
gether with ashes of wood. There had
been such great care in the burning
that there was not piece OF wood
which had been lighted as large as a
match that was not completely con-
sumed, and the earth for two feet on
all sides had been carefully swept into
| the fire. l am satisfied that some ami.
NAL body had been burned there for the
purpose of completely destroying the
same, and have no reason to believe
that such great care would have beer
exercised unless to conceal crime.

is not correct In their management,
harshly denounced.
We think the governor is too pro-
nounced in this matter. To forestall
the report OF the committee by an ex-
parte and highly colored yindication Of
the directors is open to criticism. It
Is an assumption Of wisdom and sagac-
ity trife unusual, to say the least.
The charges made against the direc-
tors were deemed by the legislature to
be of SUFFICIENT weight and character to
justify an investigation. Had that
body taken the view of the charges held
by Governor Martin. no investigation
would be had. But such is not the
case.
A committee has been at work for
several days taking testimony in the
matter. Pending the inquiry, we think
it proper that friends on both sides
should keep their hands of. Every
body seems to be satisfied that the
committee will do the square thing.
Why not await its verdict?
The action of somebody in subsidiz-
ing and providing for LoDer is by no
means calculated, though it may be
intended, to shield and protect the di-
J rectors. Its effect on the minds of the
committee is liable to be the opposite
of that intended.

nIaMISSED.


Or in the vernacular fired"
That is what has happened to Con-
sui general SewalI who has occupied
a prominent position in the Samoan
controversy for the past two or three
years.
Mr. Sewan does not take his dismis-
sal very kindly. He makes vigorous
kick and tells some things not very
complimentary to Secretary Bayard.
If NJ. Sewall tells the truth, -Bayard
has no more backbone than an angle
worm. He has su fered Germany to
insult, trample on, not only the ma
tives, but to commit all manner Of in
dignities against the representatives of
this government in the islands. Their
position has been a most humilating
one.
When Malietoa, the rightful sover-
eign had it in his power to crush the
Germans when they first sought to
plot his ruin, the American
representative used his influence to
prevent bloodshed, promising that his
government would stand between him
and danger from the Germans. Later
the Germans were reinforced and Ma
lieatoa was taken and carried away,
while Tamasese. whose life the Amer
lean consul saved when he was in the
power of Malieatoa, was installed in
his stead.
| The entire history of events in Sa-
moa since Germany began her en-
croachments on the islands has been a
record on the one side of bulldozing
rapacity. spoliation, insults, and
shameless usurpation, and on the other
OF equivocation, timidity, vacillation
and humiliating submission.
Mr.. Sewall is right in contending
that return to the status quo should
be preliminary to the fresh conference
proposed by Bismark. But even that
Mr.. Bayard has not the courage to de-
mand, and the conference will be hello
in Berlin, as Bismark wishes.
Americans have nothing to thank
Secretary Bayard for. This statement
of Mr.. Sewall confirms the popular no
ton of his inefficiency and weakness:
throughout his entire term of Office
His retirement from office will be hailed
with gladness everywhere but in Eu
rope.
Secretary Whitney is worth shiI
load of such men as Bayard. If al
lowed to have his way, Bismarck woulC
have been taught useful lesson lon,
ago. His contempt for Bayard's veal
and nerveless policy has not been con
cealed. What pity he was not secre
tary Of state for even few months
There would be different story to tell
if he was.

THE very latest story about Rudolph,
and one that purports to be authentic,
is that he suicided after first shooting

hauled or revised in any manner, we

EIGHT CASES.

The State of The Small Pox Cases at Bushong-
The Quarantine Raised on The Town.
The county commissioners all visited
Bushong Thursday to determine the
true state of the smallpox cases. The
found the outlook much worse, than
had been reported, and there are alto
gether eight cases-five men, two
women and child. They found the
five cases in the quarantiDed house and
the others were in house about mile
from town. The latter cases were
caused By one man leaving the quaran-
tine house before the quarantine was
first ordered. The patient who caused
all the trouble by bringing the lOath-
some disease from Kansas City is i'm
proving and is able to do without med
ical aid.
The county board at once removed
the sick to the house first quarantIned
and the cOnvalescents and those hav-
ing been exposed, to the other house,
one mile away and quarantine placed
on both houses.
1t was learned that four of those who
had first been exposed to this Kansas
City man in the hotel where he first
stopped, have skipped out and their
whereabouts are unknown. There will
probably be two or three more cases in
the quarantined houses and the board
are of the opinion that they can keep
it within these bounds. None of those
| afflicted are severely i'll and in all prob
ability they will continue to improve.
The quarantine on the town of Bush
ong was raised this morning. From
all accounts it was very severe, the
township trustees having refused to
allow the mail to be received or de-
livered, nor were the trains allowed to
