Harte would hero find many subjects
for Wild western history that would
throw some OF his previous creations
of fiction into the shade. The Indian
Territory is near by, where there is
employed n large number of brave and
hardy men rs Deputy United States
Marshals who appear periodically in
the largest city most convenient to
their working place, so that Wichita is
often called upon TO entertain visitors
of almost as much notoriety as BILLY,
the Kid" or Jesse James. Chief among
this number is Deputy United States
Marshal Jack Stillwell, now stationed
at Fort Reno, Ind. T. Jack, or rather
"COmanche jack" rs he is familiarity
known, Is Misunderstanding chap,
with laughing blue eye, curly hair
slightly tinged with gray, for this
noted borderman is just fifty years of
age, about five feet ten or eleven inches
in height, and of massive build. He is
also the acknowledged crack pistol
shot of the west, and even in the days
of that Kansas cyclone known as "Wild
Bill, who never missed "a shot, Jack
Stillwell ranked high.
The number of men killed by Jack is
variously estimated at from twenty
! five TO thirty-one, and il is known that
in addition he has aided in sending
seventeen other men over the valley
of death by means of the hangman )
moose. Only few months ago, in fact
on November u, Jack sprung the trap
in this city which sent TO their death
the two noted Creek Indian murderers,
Jack and Joe Tobler. Even in this
country, where "killers" are TO be met
with every day, "COmanche jack
Stillwell is a curiosity, and is pointed
out TO strangers with n strange mixture
Of awe and pride.
By this it must not be understood
that this gallant Deputy United States
Marshal is a desperate who goes about
gloryng in his bloody work. On the
contrary, he is rather retiring in his
disposition and only when he has been
| drinking boasts of his deeds. When
desperate work is to be done or bad
desperate is to be taken Stillwell is
always the man who is detailed 10
accomplish it. The territory desper.
ADDE'S and cut-throats all know and
fear the intrepid officer, and are aware
of the fact that if he goes after them
he will get them, dead or alive. Many
are the traps that have been lHid tc
kill him, but he is as cunli2y as he is
brave, and has always managed to
evade the snarcs that would have
caused the death of a less accomplished
plainsman.
Brought up rs he was among the Co
manche Indians. Jack has never ex
ercised the right of franchise, and a
the age of fifty has never cast a vote
He speaks the Comanche and severa
other Indian languages as we'll as the
Indians do themselves, and during the
sitting of the United States court il
this city it is always an amusing sigh
TO see the Indians dressed in theil
primitive way, following the grea
White Chief" as they call Jack
about the streets. He calls them hi
menagcrie" and says they are a lot o
dirty, thieving wretches for the mos
part, as well as the most accomplished
liars in the world.

"A Smart Pig Really Without Brains

The body of an exceedingly fat pig
hangs on hook in the butcher-shOp of
Carson & Emmons in Freehold, N. j.,
bat the head has been removed for
scientific examination. The animal is
said to have been the wisest hog i'm all
Freehold, and it owed its death TO its
rare intelligence, for it was killed less
for gastronomic purposes than to allow
some doctors, who were interested in
the question, to ascertain the quantity,
quality and exact situation OF so saga
cious porl1er's brain. Butcher L. G..
Hutchinson, who slew the pig. jumped
nervously back when he had thrust the
knife into the scat Of understanding,
for he feared that the teaming mass
might rush out and overwhelm him.
There was no cause for alarm. The
brain cavity was, indeed, there, but it
was so small that half-inch probe
would have reached it i'm any direction,
and il was entirely empty. The most
intelligent pig in Freehold hadn't n
particle of brain in his head. The
brain of pig is never very large. but
both doctors end butchers agree that to
find one wholly brainless is case alb
solutely without precedent within their
knowledge. New York Sun.

trade statistics iust issued:

The treasury report from which these
figures are taken shows that the ling
off IL exports is almost wholly in agri-
cultural products, and that the incre Sc
of imports is in live animals and arti-
Giles of food. chiefly the former. There
WAS little difference between the two
periods in either imports or exports OF
manufactures.
Our export business ought to grow.
The way to bring growth is to help
American shipping. We are still
barred out of South American m9rkc Is
by the lack of merchant vessels. English,
German and French lines naturally dis
criminate against our own products.
Merchandise shipped from New York
to the west coast of South America
goes by way of Liverpool or Havre. If
the government would pay Literally for
the ocean mail service we should soon
see American steamship lines establish
ed that would give US direct eommuni-
cation with foreign markets and carry
merchandise at low rates, thus enabling
American manufacturers TO compete
everywhere, on fair terms, with English
and German producers.
As to the decrease in agricultural eX-
ports shown by the treasury figures, the
fine crops in Europe largely account for
it. The increase of imports of live ami
mails is evidence that the farmers are
devotlng themselves more generally
than ever before to the improvement
,of their stock. Times

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr. Springer, Of
Illinois, called up as aspecIal order the senate
bill for the admission Of south Dakota and
the organization Of the territory Of north Da-
kota. The bill having been read in full Mr..
Springer took the floor in explanation Of the
measures and in advocacy Of the sub
stitute (the omnibus billy which
he proposed TO offer at the proper time.
He prefaced his remarks with the statement
that he would endeavor to secure vote to-
day. He sketched briefly the action of the
constitutional convention held in Dakota In
September, 1885, which had formulated CON
stltutioD for the state Of South Dakota The
constitution, he said, had been submitted to
the people and ratified bya vote of $4,000 to
5000. The total and all had only been ST.
00o, while all that time there were 65, 600
voters In the territory. In view Of the small
ness Of the vote he insisted that justice to the
people Of Dakota required that new con.
veption should be held. He called attention
to various provisions Of the constitution Of
1855 which Re considered bore marks OF hay.
ing been formulated hastily, and argued that
they presented another reason why new con
vention should be held. He criticised the
clause in the constitution declaring that all
existing archives, records and books belong
ing to the secretary OF Dakota should be,opp
to the state of South Dakota. Under that
clause the secretary Of st tie of the new state
was authorized to go to Bismarck and denude
the capitol there Of every scrap Of paper and
every book belonging to the territory.
Cox Of New York aud Clifford Of Dakota
favored the bill. Pending further aebste the
house adjourned.
