School Children Killed and Eaten by Ravenous
Brutes-An Indians Deperate Fight.

WHITE EARTH, Mimi, Feb. 21.-News
from a credible source has reached here
that, few days since, in the sparsely set
tied country around Aitkin two white
children returning to their homes late in
the afternoon from school were attacked
and completely devoured by ravenous tim
ber wolves. few scattered bones and
shreds of clothing alone remaining as horri-
bic testimony of the children's fate. 1t was
supposed at first that there were not moro
than two wolves at most in the pack, but
an Indian hunter, shortly after the disap-
pearance of the children, encountered a
pack of ten of the brutes near the scene of
the children's death. He used his Win
chester with such effect as to kill eight of
them, and running out of cartridgeshe went
up tree to escape from the fangs of tho
remaining two Nothing frightened by the
slaughter of the rest of the pack, these two
man-eaters squatted down at the foot of the
tree, awaiting the moment that the Indian
would become their prey. When he thought
his fate sealed. two cartridges providential-
ly made their appearance from the depths
of his pockets. With these he settled the
two remaining animals. The forests in the
northern part of Aitkin county have, for
years, been infested with raging and vo-
racious animals, but this is the first instance
for many years of their venturing so closely
upon the settlements.

always enjoyed an excellent reputation.
Lately, however, language Objectionable to
some of the pupils was used at recitation
of the senior class. The subject under dis
cussion was the state of morals in England
during the seventeenth century Us COM
pared with that of the present day. The
pupils were reading at the time from
Welch's English Literature. One of the
pupils asked Professor Bowen whether
the morals of that age were
In answering that question. the
girls say, Prof Bowen gave q number of
facts relative to the immortality of the times
which the question did not can for. He re-
ferTed also to the danger of dancing In full
dress with men,. He thought girls should
not accept bon-bons or glass of punch
from gentlemen. The bon -bons might be
drugged. He also said, it is alleged, that
marry him would very often yield to him
more than she ought. These and other re-
marks of a like character are alleged to
have been used. and they angered the
girls, it IS asserted, that they went at once

manded a new teacher. saying they would
leave the school unless the demands were
complied with. This request was also
made to Prof. Bowen, but he
refused to grant it, for the reason that by
so doing he would virtually acknowledge
that he was in error. The pupils thereupOn
prepared a statement of their grievances,
and announced that they would inform
their parents of what had occurred. This
they were forbidden to do until confer
ence has been held, but Miss Davies and
Miss Brewer, of Philadelphia. two of tho
teachers, disobeyed an Injunction laid upon
them, and secretly mailed q lot of letters
for the pupils. For this they were expelled.
Miss Briggs, another teacher, at once
rendered her resignation. Then all of the
senior class decided to leave, and, after
having their photographs taken, left for
home. 1t is expected that the rest of the

Singular Case OF Poisoning.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Feb. 2l.-A singular
case of wholesale poisoning that came near
proving fatal is reported from the Morning
side school. taught by Miss Hattie Commit.
Shortly after school was called Yesterday,
a peculiar odor was noticed, and in search
ing for the source the teacher opened the
door TO the closet where the scholars kept
their wraps. A fur cap belonging TO one of
the boys had fallen into bucket contain
ing hot ashes and was sending off clouds
of smoke. The teacher seized the BUCKET
and started for the door. but when half
way across the room was overcome by the
smoke and dropped into the nearest seat
almost unconscious. A boy then took the
bucket but at once succumbed
and fell to the 1ooor. Twenty
of the pupils who sat where the smoke
reached them were made deathly sick and
were unable to arise alone. By super
human effort the teacher managed to get
the door open and the fresh air revived her
SO she helped the children ont doors, where
they lay on the ground in agony. The
people living near by brought fresh milk
and made the children drink freely of it.
1T the end of three hours all had recovered
sufficiently to be taken home. but were
very weak. IL is supposed that poison was
contained in the color matter of the cap
and that it was set free by the burning.

Present Condition Of the Clerks RoIl-Re-
publicans Sure of n Majority.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Up to date all
but fifteen of the certificates of members
elect of the next House have been re-
ceived by General Clark, the Clerk of the
House. Among those lacking are the GER
tificates of two Representatives, from West
Virginia and one from Tennessee. In re-
gard to the case of the West Virginia men,
bers-elect Gen. Clark said that, in his view,
the Governor of the State mighthave issued
the certificates any day after the election.
and now that the senatorial contest was
over, he believed that the certificates for
Representatives would soon be made out.
Regarding the Tennessee case. in which the
State Supreme Court has decided that it
cannot restrain the Governor from issuing
a certificate to Evans, tRep.D General Clark
said it would not be proper for him to ex-
press an opinion as to the effect of the
decision. as the case might como
before him for decision between two
sets of certificates. Assuming that Evans
will receive a sufficient certificate. the
Clerk figures that the Republicans will
have 164 and the Democrats 159 members at
the organization of the next House. not
counting the West Virginia members.
Should these two seats 90 to the Democrats,
it will leave the Republicans with a ma
jority of three. but the admission of the
Dakotas, Washing gtOn and Montana will in
crease this majority.

at the outset, claimed the inalienable right
to name the Cabinet officer for the Pacific
slope, became divided as to who should be
recommended. AS between Swift and Es-

about evenly divided, and as the chasm

He Offers q Resolution Setting Apart Day
for Considering Tobacco Taxes.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 21-Mr Randall shied
his castor into the ring, so to speak. to-day,
by Offering a resolution to set apart a day
for consideration of his bill to remove the
internal revenue taxes from tobacco in all
its forms. The resolution will be consid-
ed favorably to the House. A majority of
that committee are In favor of the repeal
of the tobacco tax-these being Randall
Reed and Cannon-while the other two
members-Speaker Carlisle and Mr.. Mills
arc opposed. understand Mr.
Mills has said that he would vote
for the removal of the tax on tobacco, pro-
vided it was accompanied with free wool,
free tin, free cotton-ties, and reduction of
80 per cent. of the duty on woolens and
worsteds. Mr.. Carlisle is not anxious to
call the committee on rules together for the
consideration of this resolution, but he
must do so, for if he does not the majority
of the committee would call q meeting,
HIM; nor can he prevent the resolution be-
ing reported. Therefore. it must sometime
come before the House, and the
only way its passage can be
prevented is by filibustering. It would be
O very strange spectacle if the Speaker of
the House and the leader of the majority
should lead filibustering movement to
prevent the passage of a measure intro
duced by Democrat and the chairman of
the second committee in Importance. but
the public may be treated to such a sight
before the end of the session. For years in
all the tobacco States the Democrats have
been promising that when their party got
into power the tax shoul,- be re-
moved. The same promise has been made
annually to the moonshiners regarding the
whisky tax, and now the Democratic ad-
ministration. which has been in power for
four years. is about to expire, with the
President and the leaders of the party
fighting to prevent the fulfllment of these
pledges. The result of the last election in
West Virginia was largely due to this
cause, and the North Carolina men agree
that nothing can prevent their State from
going Republican if the present Congress
adjourns without doing something toward
n reduction of internal revenue taxation
This point has been made so forcibly that
some of the Democratic members of tho
committee on ways and means are growing
a little shaky, particularly Mr.. Turner, of
Georgia, and Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia.
and it would not be strange to see them
breaking away from Mills and voting for
free tobacco

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-It is expected
that President Cleveland will celebrate
Washington's birthday by signing the ter
ritorial statehood bill, which was sent to
him this afternoon. Two of the members
of the committee on conference called on
the President this morning and urged him
to adopt this course, and they were en-
couraged to believe that he will do 80.
The Presidents signature to the bill
which will admit four new States by the
1st of next December. with five new men,
bers of the House, all of whom will be Re-
publicans in all probability, removes in a
great degree the principal hope of the
candidates for the Speakership of an extra
session. 1t will make certain, too the Or
ganization of the Senate by the Republic
ans, with good working majority, and
will doubtless have a marked effect upon
the contested election cases which will Oc-
cupy the attention of the House for some
time after its organization. The present
House has been unable, after repeated
efforts lately, to settle the one remaining
contested election, and it is not likely that
Mr. FELTON, will be unseated, now that tbs
hour of adjournment is so near. Mr..
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, one of
the Republican members of the
present House committee on elections,
thinks it will be very difficult matter for
the Republicans of the House to settle the
election contests early in the forthcoming
session without the aid of the members
from the new States. Mr.. Lodge says that
he has noticed the difficulty which has
been experienced by the majority in bring
ing out its full strength whenever a close
vote on party question has made it neces-
sary to bring every member to the hall.
Members fail to appreciate the necessity
of constant attendance upon the sessions of
the House." said Mr.. Lodge" and it
is almost impossible to get them all out
when questions of Importance are to be de-
cided and the necessity of the presence of
every one is urgent. think that it will be
very difficult to get vote upon the con-
tested cases early in the coming session, if
the minority adopt tlibustering tactics and
fail to respond to the roll-call. If any of
our members are absent frequently we
shall be unable to decide those contests for
long time after the House is organized,
as we shall have to furnish a quorum our
selves if the minority should decline to
vote"

the court of General Sessions, to-day, called
the grand jury before him and delivered
special charge to them. From the nature
of his remarks, although he mentioned no
name. it was inferred that he referred to
the cases of Ives and Staynor. His remarks
were on the abuse of trusts and the law re-
garding it. He said he had been asked to
speak 10 them about this case by the dis
trict attorney. Later, the grand jury found
indictments for grand larceny in the first
degree against Ives and Staynor. 1t is be-
lieved that indictments will also be found
against Others connected with these men in
the G.. II. & d. matter.
