sufferer any food and only avery little
water. Often he would read over to
himtthe letter from the mother to her
son informing him of his sisters ruin.
The poor man begged hard to be killed
at once, ,ior to be ereleased and he would
marry the girl and make every restora-
ton in his power for the wrong he had
done, but the brother was deaf to all
his entreaties. Soiitwent on until the
end came. After his victim was
dead the brother went to
ST. Louis and found his
sisterwell and IN sound mind. The
will of the dead partner was proved and
the girl and his child became the pos
SCISSORS Of all his property. The brother
tried to settle down but could not; the
remembrance Of that awful rock haunted
him day and might and after'a year of
vain endeavor't to find fsurcease OF SORROW
he made a will giving everything to
his mother tand sister and once more
FLED TO THE WILD MOUNTAINS.
There he lived for ten years, never
once again coming east, and was finally
wounded by Indians while out hunting
and died from the effects of his wounds.
1t was on his deathbed he related this
story of his life to Muggins Taylor who
told it to me on the Yellowstone by u
camp fire one night in 1876, just before
Custer was massacred. BY those who
knew him Muggins Taylor's word
would not be doubted. He was then
a scout for General Mills and was after
wards himself killed at Billings, Mont.
Whether the story be true or not can
not say, but is not more strange than
many other incidents of the border
which we i1now>to be true. 1t is said
some years afterwards some hunters
visited the spot ndtfound the skeleton
of man chained by the neck to u rock,
and they. marked the spot with cairn
of stones. JAMES S. BRISBIN.

THE WORLD OF ELECTRICITY
"A Recent English Invention of Great
Practical Value.
HOW THE .PHohoPoRE WORKS.
A German Professor Plan for Trans
forming 5NiechanicalInto Electric
al sEnergy-Priming Batteries
ortIucandescent Lighting.
The lPhononnra.

AN English electrician, Mr.. Eangdon
Davies, has made and perfected an in
vention which promises to be Of great
advantage in the service of transmits
sion by electricity, says the Boston
Herald. AT tthepresentti time the phon-
opore, as he calls his device, admits of
the duplication at small expense of or
dinary telegraphic facilities, but there
are reasons for thinking that the time
is coming when twill be found useful
in anumber of other directions. What
the phonopore does is toutilizea a species
of electric energy which is not brought
into service by the ordinary electrical
devices, II a.telephone wire runs near
a telegraph wire, oven though bothmay
be insulated In the ordinary meaning
of that term, it is possible to hear at the
receiver at the end Of the telephone
wiretthe changes due to the passage of
the electric current over the telegraph
wire. That is, by what is known as in
duction, something passes from one
wire to anotner in spite of ordinary in
sulation. Mr.. Langdon Davies termed
this species Of electricity phonoporic
oucFRy, uiSbiuB uisHlHS ~ from
the ordinary electric current, which
cannot pass from wire to wire, particu-
larly when both of these were well in
sulated. He next asked himself if it
were not possible to utilize this energy,
which seems to be a aproperty of all
electric currents, and, after making
number of experiments, he devised an
| instrument which can be applied to all
telegraph wires, and by means of which
| messages can be sent and received by
phOnporc energy simultaneously with
the reception and dispatch of messages
by the ordinary electric current, one
service in no way interfering with the
other. That is, the servlee by u single
wire under the ordinary method
can be doubled by the use or the phono-
pore, or if duplex instruments are used
the service can be ,quadruplexed by the
phOnopore. If the service is already
neutrality-suspicious. is, having four in
struments to a single wire-eight dis
tinct and separate services are possible
by the use of phonoporic energy, and
this in each case at small expense.
This discovery is OF great interest apart
from the results already attained, for
the reason that it may be found pOssi-
BILE llater on to still further separate
.phonopOric from electric energy and
utilize it for purposes for which the or
dinary electric, energy does not give al
together satisfactory results.

was told me in Montana by a
trapper over fifteen years ago, who
vouched for the truth of what he stated.

Many years ago two young men came
from the east and ascending the Mis-
souri, from Council Bluffs far into Mon
tana, engaged in the business of trap
ping aud buying furs. They were
bosom friends and prospered In all their
undertakings. Money flowed into their
hands from the sales OF furs and they
Boon became quite wealthy. Still they
stayed on in the west that had been so
generous to them and, loving their
wild and free live, continued to trap,
hunt and buy furs. AT last they became

her brother, .longed ttovisit the west

finally consented and promised that the
very next year she should go back
with him. She did SO, and for a

When it came time for the furs to be
smarketed the girl, who had become
sbomowhat tired OF mountain life, asked
her brother TO go down to ST. Louis

The plans for Rock Islands mass meet

Illinois miners and their families dis
cussed and to contribute to these stsrv-
ing people, have been altered considerably
since the publication of the mayors
proclamation in last nights ARGUS. As
stated then there was d general de-
sire to hear Congressman Frank Lawler.
of Chicago, explain the condition of the
starving people, his appeals in their be-
half all over the state having been at
tended by generous outpouring of aid
and sympathy for people who are sus-
tanning principle and enduring more
misery and suffering than can be fully
pictured by human tongue. The efforts
to secure Mr.. Lswler were attended by
success. but telegram received late last
night stated that he would be here this
morning in company with VIM. Seattle,

tIonsl Progressive union of miners and

have exerted themselves. and are con-
tributing their share toward these starv-
ing people"
Mr.. LAWYER was asked IL be had any
thing to say about the recent charges OF
the Chicago republican press that he was
attempting to make political capital out
of his present endeavors. and his reply
was:
No, nothing at all. only hope the
writers will be charitable with me. There
is no reply necessary to such charges, l
think"
They are liesr spoke up Mr.. Seattle
who was present and had heard the con-
versation: Every one of them lies and
as good republican says SO as there is
in the state of Illinois. Ihave always
been q republican and have accom-
panied Mr.. Lawler on all his trips and
heard all his speeches, and he has never
uttered a word, directly or indirectly that
might be construed into having a politi-
cal bearing. He has not referred to poll
tics in any way OF in any sense"
MY sole mission has been in the in
terests of common humanity and human
charity" Mr.. LAWYER Interrupted. There
were no politics thought of until the
Tri6unes article appeared. In fact the
men working with me are of all shades of
political aff1listion, even to 'mugwump.
There should be no politics at such a
time as this But I'll tell you one thing
that am going to do tonight; am going
for Bill Scott on that last proposition of
his which is of no possible justice or ad-
vantage to the miners, as l will explain.
Then l think, too, that l shall give
Governor Filter piece of my mind, call
it politics or not. but it shall be nv first
allusion of this kind But the point IN
which | wish to arraign Gov. Fifer is
this: During the last campaign Private
Joe assured his hearers throughout the
state that if elected governor, the Pink
ertons must GO; that if he was elected
governor, the strong arm of the law
should prevail. and that where danger of
trouble appeared from strikes or other
wise, the law should be enforced by
state troops. There is at Cooley. where
is locsted one of the mining disputes, Pin
kerton men on guard. I insist that
the governor is not carrying out his
pledges. and | don't believe tits pol
itics to charge him with a viola,
ton of those pledges. | believe in
the enforcement of the law and order. nj
it should be done by the laws sworn
troops and not by armed private individ>
usls, and | say the governor should de-
mand the surrender of these Pinkerton
men at Cooley"
Congressmsn Lawler is obliged to re-
turn To Chicago tonight to attend a meet
ing tomorrow. and next Tuesds
