of great nervous excitement. During the

and, handing one to her daughter Maud,
aged eighteen, and taking the other herself.
she drank her own dose and forced the girl
at the muzzle of revolver to also swallow
the draught Physicians were called, but
the poison had done its work.
Mrs. Strang died at about midnight in
horrible agony, and Maud died an hour or
two later. Maud insisted to the last that her
mother had forced her to drink the poison,
and said she did not want to die, and she
begged piteously of her friends and the ply
sician to save her life

ARMY DESERTERS.
The Annual Report Of Major-General
Schofleld.

SCnOHclu.
The annual report of Major-General Scho-
field, commanding the army, to the Secre-
tary of War, has been made public. he
pays especial attention to the desertion ques-
ton. He says:
s'The causes Of discomfort which lead to
desertion from the army are numerous. They
have been sought diligently for years, and
many of them have been removed. Some of
them are probably beyond the reach Of any
remedy. One of these is the naturally dis
conted disposition Of the men who are Jed
by that feeling alone to seek change from the
monotony Of bread winning in any civil pur-
suit, by entering tho. supposed less arduous
service of the United States. When such
men find that soldiers, no less than civilians
must work, their feeling Of Observation-Disclosures
and they resort to the only means
by which they can make another
change These men rarely desert when en-
gagged in an active campaign, however great
the hardships and privatiou or severe the
discipline may be. 1t is the ordinary labor
and routine Of military duties which inspire
them with discomfort.

A Chinaman's Tempting Bribe.

Customs Inspector Reynolds, of San Fran
cisco, has refused a tempting bribe offered
by Chinaman if he would steal a part of
the records kept in the Chinese Bureau at the
Custom House. The Celestial who offered
the bribe was Leong Sing, a sleek, portly
pagan, who had been hanging around the
federal courts since the habeas corpus route
became favorite one through which the
man dealers railroaded their property. Two
thousand dollars was offered to Reynolds as
an inducement to get the desired books.
The records that were so much desired by
the Chinese are the only ones that stand be-
tween the country and food of coolies. The
records contain the names of all Chinese who
left the country from 1889 until the passage
of the Exclusion act and the names of all Chi
nese who left the country and those who re-
turned between 1878 and 1882. Were they
gone there would be DO means of combating
Chinese testimony on these points.
Sing is supposed to have made the offer on
behalf of Chinese syndicate of man dealers.
His offense is not punishable by statutes,
but it will lead to close watch over tho
records.

RAISING THE TAKES.

For the first time in the history O
this or any other civilized govern.
jment the plan is seriously adopted Of
attempting to reduce the surplus rev
enue by raising the taxes. The US.
Senate has passed a bill which actually
increases the duties ola war tariff in
= majority of the schedules. 1t dou.
bles the duty, in many cases, that
vas deemed sufficient for "~protection
of infant industries" over q quarter of
a century ago. And it adds to the
injustice and viciousness of the old
system a bounty from the pockets of
the taxpayers to the promoters of a
favored industry. And this is "a
revision of the tariff by its friends"
This is the redemption of the repub.
lican pledge to correct the inequali.
ties Of the tariff and reduce the SUI.

campaign of education that will not
soon be forgotten. The war taxes
must come down, not 60 up. Let

Issued by Bottineau county under the
