ALLEGATIONS OF A WOMAN WHO WANTS SHARE
OF THE CoMMoDoRE's MILLIONS.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 20.-For some months il has
been known that Judge Brisbin was acting as
the attorney for a woman who claimed TO be
entitled to one-third OF the estate of the late
Commodore Kittson by reason of having been
his first wife. The judge, however refused to
give the particulars until last evening, when
he let it out that the woman in the case is Mrs.
Adelaide Crezier, of st. Cloud, now sixty years
of age. The suit will be filed in a few days,
and the complainant will allege that in an early
day she and Commodore Kittson entered into
an agreement of marriage in the presence of
witnesses, there being no preachers or magis-
trates in the settlement where they then re-
sided She claims that they lived together as
husband and wife for ten years, and that chill
dren were born fruit of the marriage one
of whom was DIR. Kittson. since dead, and the
other Norman KittsOn, jr. She alleges that

FLATHEADs ON THE wARPATH.
Settlers in Montana Thought to be i'm
Danger of Massacre.


HELENA, MoNT. Feb 30.-News has lust been
received from Missoula, in this territory, that
the Flathead Indians are arming themselves.
and settlers in Flathead Lake valley are in great
danger. The section where the trouble origi-
mated is without telegraph facilities A letter
received at Missoula from Ravall saws: 1t
seems that an Indian stole an overcoat from j.
i. Clifford, of Clifford or Demersville Cliff
ford struck the Indian on the head with pis-
tol, from which the Indian died. Major Roman
says that an Indian brought him a report that
j. +. Clifford was killed by Indians Saturday
night 1t has since been rumored that both
Clifford and DIR. Cunningham were killed. There
seems to be feeling that if Clifford is not
killed the Indians will lose no opportunity to
kill him. Everything is quiet here. There are
few Indians in town, and they are chiefly
bent on buying ammunition. Squaws and chill
dren are hurrying toward the agency. Two
white men in the Flathead valley have been
killed, and there is likely to be great fight"
ABSENCE OF MAIL CAUSES ALARM.
A freighter from Clifford says there was no
excitement in the valley when he left last
Thursday, but the Indians. threatened him
good deal while he was coming across the res
ervation. Bad blood is known to have existed
among the Indians at Flathead Lake county
ever since the citizens of Demersville hanged
two of their number about year ago. The
absence of mail from that section or anv definite
Hehs has CIedtcu uiledSlness among cltlZenS OF
this place. A stage from Flathead is now
past due at Ravalli, and the people are anx-
iousy awaiting it. The uneasiness is in
creasing.
CONFLICTING REPORTS.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Feb. 20.-A special from
Helena, Mont, received at 2 am. saws: The
latest reports of trouble on the Flathead Indian
reservation are conflicting. At Missoula it is
said that the two men, Clifford and Cunning
ham, have been killed. The Indians have been
troublesome since last March, when two Indians
were hanged. Missoula people look for serious
trouble. At Ravalli it is said that the stage
has arrived and that Clifford and Cunningham
are safe

CHAIRMAN HATCH's PITCHER.

CHAIRMAN HATCH's PITCHER.
The House committee on agriculture gave it
self up to kindly sentiment and good-fellow
ship this morning, and took holiday on busi-
ness. The beneficiary was Chairman Hatch, he
being the pleased recipient OF solid silver
water-pitcher, a testimonial of the esteem in
which he is held by the members of the commit
tee. The presentation was made by Represen-
tative Conger of Iowa. On the front of the
pitcher is engraved Ito the Hon. VIM. III.
Hatch, chairman of the committee on agricul-
ture of the Fiftieth Congress" On the opposite
side is the date and the names of the members
of the committee.
STATES RIGHTS AND DEALINGS IN FUTURES.
During the last session of Congress bills were
futures in agricultural products and ''to pro-
hibit fictitious and gambling transactions on
the price of articles produced by American
farm industry" The bills were referred to the
committee on agriculture, which took the sub
jects under consideration and heard argu-
ments in support of the bills. To-day the COM
mittee took up the matter and decided to re-
port both bills adversely. and authorized the
appointment of a subcommittee to draw up =
report to that effect. The committee investigated
the matter thoroughly and arrived at the conclu-
sion that Congress has no jurisdiction over this
subject; that the limitations imposed by the
Constitution make it improper for Congress to
pass the measures proposed, and that it is a
matter for state legislation exclusively.
REPRESENTATIVE BARNES HAS DOUBTS.
The conferes on the omnibus bill have
all affixed their signatures to the re-
oort as agreed upon with the excep-
ton of Representative Barnes. who has
the matter under advisement. 1t is
said that Mr.. Barnes' hesitancy arises not from
any hostility to the admission of the territories
but because he has some doubts in regard
to the advisabiity of allowing the ter
ritories to come in under presidential
proclamation instead of coming to Congress
for admission by special acts. Itis said he will
not oppose the adoption of the report in the
House even if he fails to sign the conference
report.
PUBLIC LANDS.
The Senate committee on public lands to-day
considered the bill providing that public lands
now subject to private entry shall in the future
be disposed of only under the provisions of the
homestead laws. 1t was decided to recommend
non-concurrence in the House amendments
and agree to the conference asked for by the
House.
The bill for the relief of certain settlers in
Hettinger county, Dak., whose lands by reason
of mistake in the preliminary survey are To-
Gated upon the grant to the Northern Pacific
road was reported favorably with amendments
that nothing contained in this act shall be
taken or construed as waiving, relieving, in
any wise affecting any right of the United
States to forfeit any lands granted to the North
ern Pacific railroad company.

Marching Through Georgia" /"

As some doubt has been cast upon theauthor-
ship of the famous song, Marching Through
Georgia. it is just to state that no good ground
for such doubt is apparent The words and
music of that song were unquestionably COM
posed by the late Henry C. Work, son of Alanson
Work, of anti-slayery fame. NIr. Work, who
was the author OF many popular songs. patriotic
aud sentimental, wrote Marching Through
Georgia" in November or December, 1864, and
it was copyrighted and published by Root &
Cady, of Chicago in March, 1865. The song is
sometimes confounded with another very diff
ferent one, entitled Sherman'S March to the
Sea-" which was written by Mr.. s. II. II. Byers,
Adjutant 9th Iowa, while in the rebel prison at
Columbia S. c. Gen. Sherman was then on his
famous march, and Mr.. Byers learned of it in
the prison through rebel papers which were
smuggled into the prison inside loaves of bread
by loyal negro. Mr. Byers only got s. for it
from publisher, though probably a million
copies of it have been sold. Mr. Byers was
U. S. Consul to Switzerland for years after the
war, and when recalled By President Cleveland
commenced writing, and has since published
volume entitled "I Iowa in the Rebellion" ("
which is q well-Written historical volume.

Divorce in the United States.

Statistics from two-thirds of the Counties IN
the United States for 20 years-1S67-19S6-
show that the number has steadily risen from
1887 in 1867 to 2, $50 in 1886. Total for %
years 323, ,716.
In New York the number Of divorces grant
ed during the 20 years was $3.50; in Connect
icut. S.542; in New Jersey, 2,642. Illinois
leads the list with 33,072 divorces followed by
Indiana with ., 1913 cases, South Carolina hav-
ing the least number, I63
Rhode Island stands at the bottom of the list
in the ratio OF marriages to one divorce, the
ratio being I'LL marriages to each divorce
granted; Connecticut standing next, with a
ratio of ll.32 marriages to one divorce; Massa-
chusctts stands the highest, having 3l.25 mar
riages celebrated TO one divorce granted.
OF the 325, ,7l6 divorces granted il the United
States for the 20 years covered by the report,
2i6.459, or 65 per cent. of the whole, were
granted to wives, and III ,9S3 were granted to
husbands. The causes in which wives are the
petitioners more largely than husbands are
cruelty, where the wife seeks divorce, as to
!; in deseTtion the proportion is over l. to /;
IN drunkenness, 8 to l. The husband is shown
to have sought divorce for the adultery of the
wife in S. l55 cases, while the wife has obtained
divorce in D, $50 cases for the adultery Of the
husband. The cause for which the greatest
number Of divorces were granted is that of de-
sertion, being 126, ,557, or 35 per cent. Of the
whole number.

They were telling experiences the other
night, aud Col. GTanniss told one of his. He
made the trip through the Southern country
here just after the road had been opened. The
festive cowboy had just begun TO enjoy the sport
Of running the train in the rough region, and
at one Of the stations a formidable specimen of
that tough human boarded the cars. The Con-
ducto- came alcng punching the tickets, and
this cowboy did not pay any attention to him.
AT last the Conductor laid his hand on the cow
boys shoulder and said, Ticket, please.
The cowboy turned in true cowboy style, pull
ed out his revolver and pointed it at the Co.'S
ductor
Here's my ticket"
The Conductor walked on and punched every
body elsc's coupon. Then he disappeared. The
little incident had been forgotten by almost
everybody on the car. The cowboy was in a
qniescent state, and the car was quite still
when the Conductor came in. He walked
lei5urely up the aisle and suddenly stopped
before the cowboy, placed great big knife
dangerously contiguous 10 his vital part, and
said quietly:
"Lemme see that ticket again"
The cowboy paid his fare.
