Another Mastodon Skeleton.

A couple OF miners near Salmon Falls, a
few days since, encountered q complete
skeleton OF a mastodon, buried about
twenty-five feet under ground, at a point
which had evidently been a whirlpool or
eddy OF the river. This skeleton was per
feet, having without doubt been deposited
there while the hide was yet intact. 1t was
about ten feet long, and it is estimated
that the pile of bones you'd weigh 1900
pounds or more. The tusks were between
six and seven feet long.

oUrRAGEs ON INDIANS.
An Old-Timsr Among them Tells How b
Piegans are Robbed

An Old-Timer Among them Tells How the
Piegans are Robbed.
A letter recently written in the New York
Times sets forthin unmistakabl language
the INSCRIPTIONS methods employed by
some agents on Indian reservations. The
letter refers particularly TO the Blackieet
agency in Montana. The Piegan Indians
who live there are peculiarly placed. The
government has promised to look after
them o ten years. During that time it ex-
poets them to learn the lesson OF civilization
and to be able to take care OF themselves.
As they are isolated they have no one
to depend upon for instructions in this
matter but the agent. The whole matter
10 q farce to him. He laughs at the idea OF
their learning anything; he refuses to give
instructions; he fails to give them agricul-
tural implements and he constantly trades
government goods for furs, skins. blankets
and everything else that he can make money
out of. The supplies not iIcluded in the
regular issue he charges fancy prices for,
selling three small cups OF sugar Tor one
dollar. He has permitted the whites to
drive their cattle on the grounds OF the
Piegans, where they consume the grass that
should be reserved for the scanty herds OF
the Indians.
The Piegan race was once . powerful one,
but is now reduced by famine and disease
to about $500. The Indians understand
perfectly that they are expected to learn to
be self-supporting, n are said to be very
anxious to do SO, but that obstacles are
placed in their way at every step. The
man who writes this letter wishes it dis
tinctly understood that he is NJ Eastern
s~entimentalist. He has lived among the
Indians twenty years, and he says that he
is keenly alive to their faults.
In the present case, however, he declares
that the treatment OF these people is shame
full, but that protest to the right sources
fails to bring redress. The agent continues
grow rich on the proceeds Of his trading
with government goods, the Indians con.
tinue to receive a rebuff for every question
or aspiration, and the whites continue to
trespass.

The contest here was anything but spirit
less. Boston Charley and japanese
Tommy came to the surface again and tool
q lively interest in the success
OF the ticket on which
Mr.. Dowd and several of bis
employees are either delegates or alternates
The partisans OF both sides were active in
pushing the claims of Judge Lippincott and
Mr.. Speer. The result shows that the
Dowd faction out-generalled their oppo.
nents, and the ticket chosen is avowedly
claimed az q victory for the candidacy oi
Judge Lippincott. 1t was stated that more
votes were cast in this ward than there are
voters in the ward. The highest received
was cast for e. M. Bowen, who got 315
votes. the lowest being 139, received by
John Dowd, Hector Godchaux and Henry
Moss.
1t is just possible that the delegates
when they come into the convention may
ignore the claims of both gentlemen and
cast their ballots for some outsider, the
name Of Thompson Campbell having been
mentioned as q possiblecompromise should
the Speer and Lippincott' forces be found
to be evenly matched when they come to
count noses.
As to the other offices, Henry McMurphey
and Hayes Cannon are understood to be in
the field for Treasurer, and it is understood
that Milo French will have a walk.over for
the nomination OF Police Magistrate.

Passes on Quietly In the Other Wards.
The first gun Of the local campaign has
been fired in the shape Of the Republican
primaries which occurred Saturday.
The delegates elected then meet on Satur-
day next at the Court House TO choose
candidates for a fullse Of city officers from
Mayor down. There are very few Republi.
can candidates in the field SO far. Mayor
Hamilton has positively declined re-
election. As he himself says, he knows
when he has had enough. A strong effort
was made to induce Alderman Sergeant to
accept a nomination. but it is understood
that he has unequivocally declined to al

though the nomination will fallt to whomso.
ever will accept it with the chance of Al
derman Pinkham being again induced to
make the race for his party. II the nomi-
nation comes to him unanimously Mr..
Pinkham will probably accept it, but he
will make no contest for it.
The real contest was between w. I. Lip
pincott and W. o. Speer for the position
Of City Attorney. Both gentlemen have
been understood to be in the field for some
time past, have in fact declared them
selves, and there has been q gradually wild
ening gulf in the present official relations
OF the two gentlemen in consequence which
has been patent to all habitues Of the City
Hall. The tickets in the several wards
were, accordingly, made mp more on the two
for the Republican nomination
for the City Attorneyship than anything
else. In the First and Third wards there
was no contest, but there were two, and in
one ase three, tickets in all the other
wards. The polls closed at 8 O'Clock, but
only the result in the Fourth and Fifth
wards was handed to Mr.. Yoder, the secre-
tary OF the Republican City Central Com

MARY ANDERSON'S HEALTH.


NEW YORK. June 27.-The report received
by cable from London, that Miss Mary
Anderson would not appear on the stage
next season, was confirmed at the Office of
Abbey, Schoefiel s. Grau yesterday morn
ing. This course was only adopted after
long conference between Miss Anderson's
friends and the physicians who
have been in attendance upon her
during her illness. The mystery
attending Miss Anderson's illness
has given rise to all sorts of sensational
rumors regarding her mental condition.
Last night II was rumored in theatrical
circles that Miss Anderson was confined in
a private asylum in Eng land. Mr.. Mat
thews. misrepresentation of Abbey, Schoeffel
* Grau, who has been connected in a
business capacity with Miss Anderson, said
to a reporter this morning: 1.-The simple
fact that Miss Anderson has cancelled all
her engagements for next season is no cer-
tain indication that there is anything seri-
ous the matter with the famous actress. /
was with her at the time she broke down
here. and can say that her failure to COM
plete the season was entirely due to over
work. L have the bess reasons for know
ing that she is resting quietly at her home,
and that the idea that she is confined i'm a
lunatic asylum is absurd. Miss Anderson
is quite well of. and can easily afford to be
idle for a season. Her time will be filled
by the Gaiety Company of London"

STOLE HER OWN CHILD.
Divorced Mother Abducts Her Daughter from
Public SchoOl-Room in Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The Hayes public
school was the scene of sensational case
of kidnapping yesterday afternoon. Hattie,
the twelve-year-old daughter Of John and
Celia Thatcher, was stolen by her own
mother. The 1hatchers were married in
Chicago thirteen years ago. Three years
after the marriage Mr.. Thatcher gained
suit for divorce. and the court awarded
him the custody of the child. Hattie was
then two years of age. Mr.. Thatcher gave
the little girl into her grandmother's care.
At the close of the public-sch ool term one
year ago Mrs. Thatcher, who had made
many efforts to obtain possession of the
child, endeavored to abduct her from the
school-yard. The attempt was unsuccess-
full. as the child was afraid of her mother
and refused to 60 with her. Yesterday
afternoon. shortly before school closed,
carriage was driven up to the Hayes school
and woman alighted. She entered the
school building and went directly to Room

DEATH TO CHlNCH.BUGS.
The Farmers Pest Encounters an Enemy that
Is Rapidly Thinning Its Ranks.

LAWRENCE, Kan, June 27.-Prof. J. II.
Snow, of the State University, who has
taken an active interest in the insects of
Kansas, and has given the chinch-bug
special attention. claims that a disease has
made its appearance among chinch-bugs
which is thinning their ranks rapidly.
Professor Snow says he has made a number
of visits to fields of this county, and found
the live and healthy bugs rather scarce. In
many places the ground is almost white
with dead bugs. They are dying very rap
idly with a disease which he terms
white fungus but many entomolOgists call
it chinch-bug cholera. The disease is very
contagious. Nothing is known of the cause
of the disease nor Of its symptoms. but il is
doing good work. To test whether it is
contagious, Professor Snow. last Monday,
shut up a number of healthy bugs with a
few dead ones, and to-day they are all dead
with the same disease. apparently. An en-
tomologist of Minnesota claims to have
sent over twenty boxes of dead bugs last
season with q view to scattering the dis
ease with the desired results. Professor
Snow says that any field can be cleared of
the bugs by scattering a few dead ones
therein. The disease is prevalent, Prof.
Snow says, all over the West this year.

SHOT HIM FROM BEHIND.
Expert Testimony introduced to Prove How
DIR. Mellow Shot Captain Dawson.

CHARLESTON. S. c.. June 27.-In the Nc.
Dow case, to-day, Dr. r.. A. Kinloch, for
forty years physician and surgeon, and
at present dean of the Medical College of
South Carolina, took the stand to prove
the course of the ball that killed Captain
Dawson. His testimony corroborated the
views of DR.. McMichael, that the ball had
been fired from behind. and is confirmatory
Of the general opinion that Mellow shot
Captain Dawson when his back was turned
and when he was leaving McDow's Office.
Detective John Hogan testified that on
the night of the murder, when the accused
was going TO jail with manacled hands DIR.
Mellow said: II shot him. and would
shoot any man who caned me; l know
where TO shoot TO kill; my profession
teaches me that" This evidence is con-
sidered important. in view of the statement
made by Mellow yesterday. that he did
not take aim when he fired on Dawson and
would have preferred TO disable rather
than kill him.
Solicitor Jervey requested that the Jury
be sent to McDow's office for the purpose of
obtaining a clear idea of the scene of the
murder; but McDow's counsel objected. on
the ground that the jury might be unduly
influenced by persons who had no proper
connection with the case. Judge Kershaw
sustained the objections. Solicitor Jervey
then announced the case closed. and re-
certain questions Of law. He then pro-
ceeded To address the jury. and made q
good impression. The audience applauded
when he denounced Mellow for sneaking
around to Captain Dawson's house when
he was absent. Mr.. Jervey spoke for two
hours. Judge McGrath and Mr.. Cohen will
speak for the defense tomorrow. and argu-
ment will be closed by Mai. Julian Mitchell
Tor the prosecution. Judge kershaw will
to the jury.
