Story OF n Brave Horss-Oniy Survivor OF
the Custer Massacre.

the Custer Massacre.
The United States Government has
earned the reputation OF caring in the
most liberal manner for all its soldiers
who have in any way suffered in sus-
aiming it. The most unique Of all it's
warrior pensioners, however, is the
brave horse that is the subject of this
sketch.
Comanchc is the only horse In the
country, probably. that leads a life ot
entire leisure and has servants TO see
hat he wants for nothing. He Is fed
on the choicest hay aud oats, with fire.
luent Jumps OF sugar to swceteu his de-
shining days. His portrait, which is print
ed herewith, is engraved from a photo
graph taken n short time ago by Mr.. j.
G. ii. Grabill. of D~eadwood, ID. Il. At
The time the photograph was taken
Comanche was sleek and happy, and a
recent dispatch from Colonel James For
sythe of Fort Riley, Kan. where Conan
.he now is, SAYS that he is still in good
condition.
Comanche first entered the govern
ment service about twenty-five years
ago lie was a cavlary horse in Kansas.
He smelt powder there in several bloody
fights between the government troops
and the Indians. and in one of these lie
received a painful but not serious wound.
Comanche w0s evidently ahorsc intend
ed for warfare. for his courage made
him q ( great favoritc at the outset Of his
career. From Kansas he went 10 Ne
braska, aud thence to Dakota.

A Good Showing.

PIrTsBuEG, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE general
council of the Evangelical Lutheran
church Of North America which con.
vened last evening, opened its second
days session this morning. The annual
report shows that the denomination has
a membership of over 100000, divided
into $40 congregations, and that finan-
cially 1t was never in better shape.

1t will at enc be apparent that while
the average yield for the present year is
less than that for 1888, yet considering
the adverse conditions mentioned, the
showing is a most creditable one.
AS the territory is upon the eve Of
division into the states of North Dakota
and South Dakota, the accompanying
tables have been arranged accordingly.
In the counties comprising the new
state Of North Dakota the total acreage
and yield of the various crops was as
follows:

With the nineteenth century dawned the

That the Dakotas are able to present
such a summary in a year exceptionally
bad is due to peculiarities of soil and
climate which seemingly exist nowhere
else. The marked climatic changes,
especially the increase of moisture,
which, in accordance with a beneficent
law of nature, follows settlement, will
remedy most of the disadvantages under
which the Dakota farmer labors, while
the establishment of cheap and effective
systems of irrigation from artesian wells
will largely reduce the hazards Of agri-
culture and make the Dakotas a region
of certain crops. When such wonders
are accomplished under such conditions
speculation opens a wide field as to the
future.
The present is the last CROP report to
be issued by the commissioners Of immi-
grafton of Dakota territory. In his
labors to put forth full and accurate re-
ports he has been greatly aided by the
cooperation of n large corps of CORE
%spondents ane the press of the territory,
to whom he embraces this opportunity
to return thanks for their valuable as
sistance and to express a hope, in which
they will doubtless heartily concur, that
the future c~hroniclers of the crop his
tories of North Dakota and South Da-
kota may find an even more favorable
account to give of their respective re-
gionS.

Guthrie is the minister who has been assigned to Wilcox and Benson for the present conference year, and preached here on Sunday; both morning and even. ing He is pleasing and earnest speaker, and made very favorable impression on his hearers.
 We are very sorry to state an ac. cident which happened on Tuesday night to one of our most prominent citizens, Mir. Thomas McMillen, who was on his way to Prescott had the misfortune at Williams to be thrown against stove. The accident was caused by the backing of the t,ain onto an sn.ine. Dr. Hardrich was summoned and g,vo the needed as sistance, but it was feared he was in iured seriously Under the care of the attending physician he has improved and is now resting quietly at the Bank Hotel, and we hope will soon be all right.

A Chsmber ofr.rturs,

Is the apartment to vi ich the un- happy sufferer from infsmmatory rheumatism is confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reached, that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of . rheumatic tendency, much unnee- essary suffering is avoided. Nervines anodynes and scdatives while having none but Q specific effect aro yet very desirsabls at times. Yet can they produce no lasting effect upon rheumatism because they have no power to eliminate from the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at the outset disease which, if allowed to gain hsadwsy. it is next to impossible to dislodge or to do more than to relieve Rhsumat- ism, 1t should be remembered, is . disease with . fatal tendency from it's proneness to attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters should, there fore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kid- ney complaint, malaria and ner- vousness are relieved by it.

OLD SPORT TO THE FRONT.

Tells Some Queer Stories of the Glo-
 rious Climate of California.
 The stories that Old Sport tells of California are wonderful and savor of Munchausen yarns. He says the Chin csc live half mile underground and it costs $2 to get a man to take you through the town You look at the women through lattice work. For ten cents, he said, you could get the best dinner you ever had and have three men to wait on you.
 Did you eat any rats?' was asked.
 Lord, yes Everything goes there 'cept a Waterbury watch" he an- swered.
 Then he told tale of crossing moun- tain where the grade was so steep that the train had to be divided and it requir- ed four locomotives to carry 1t up the grade.
 "When 1 reached the top of that mountain l was exactly two miles six feet and three inches above the sea. Cabbages grow out of sight. You pay five cents for a head so big that you can't carry it, and have to roli it like the boys roll their big snow balls."

---.yrings Of Lishthouss sa.n.

The keepers of lighthouses situated upon rocks at some distance from the mainland have not infrequently been ex- posed to considerable privation, when cut off by continuous bad weather from all communication with the world but 1t may be doubted whether such & tale as that of the keepers of the Bogskarew lighthouse has ever before been told. This lighthouse is situated in the Baltic, some forty miles from the nearest land, and on the 14th of February the greater portion of the building was carried away by terrible gale, and from that tune for period of more than nine weeks, the two men have been undergoing ter rible sufferings. It Is said that they have been the whole time without water or fuel-meaning, of course, that the stock of water stored up for their use was lost, and they had to depend entirely upon such ram and snow as might fall.
 The cold in the Baltic Is very great, and an existence without fire in ruined lighthouse, exposed to the fury of the northern gales, must have been almost insupportablc. Rain can have fallen but seldom, although they may frequently have had snow, but this, as they had no means of melting 1t, can have been but of little use to them, for snow taken in the mouth excites rather than quenches thirst. The detailed narrative of the nine weeks spent in the ruined light house would rival the most exciting ad- ventures of f1ction.--London Standard.
