Some Of Gladstone's Opinions.

DR.. Talmage, the Brooklyn preach
er, who is on visit to England,
took luncheon with the famous
English statesman at Hawarden
the other day. Gladstone talked
freely upon variety of subjects.
Among other things he said:
"Talk about the question of the day,
there is but one question, and that is the
gospel. 1t can and will correct everything
needing correction. All the men at the
head of great movements are Christian
men. My only hope for the world is in
bringing the human mind into contact
with divine revelation.
In response to a question wheth-
er he believed the cause of Irish
home rule would be victorious,
Gladstone responded:

A Double Life.

The town of Parsons, Kansas, is
excited over the arrest for forgery
of a hitherto, respected citizen of
that place named Larkins. He has
ivedAin Parsons for three years,
and no one suspected that he was
anything but what he claimed to
be, an ex-professor of geology, and
ex-Methodist minister. He fire.
quently preached in the Methodist
church, and often lectured on geol-
ogy. Whenever he got "hard up''
he would leave town for a time, and
always return with plenty of money.
He said he made the money lectur-
ing, when it now transpires that he
procured it by means of forged
checks very cleverly manipulated.

DeStitution in South Dakota.

There have been many conflict
ing reports in regard to the condi-
ton of the people of the two Dako-
tas. Many stories of suffering in
South Dakota have been published
and as many times contradicted.
In spite of the efforts made by those
who want to boom the new states,
and would have the outside world
believe that peace and plenty pre-
vailed throughout the length and
breadth of both the Dakotas, there
is little reason to doubt the truth
of most of the accounts of the des-
titution and suffering that prevails
in many counties of South Dakota
at least. The following account,
coming by way of Chicago and pub
lished in the Salt Lake papers, bears
every evidence of being authentic ::

IDAHO NEWS.

Blackfoot News: On Tuesday
of last week Richard Watson, a
rancher living on the west side OF
Snake river, accompanied by his
wife and son came to Blackfoot to
attend to some business matters and
purchase provisions. After getting
through with their business he told
his wife and son they had better
hitch up the horses and return home,
and that he would follow them later
on. About 4 o'clock he started out
and upon reaching the Trego ranch,
about two miles west of town, he
met Mr.. Graham coming to town
with load of wood; he stopped
him and had a short conversation,
and while talking looked up the
road and asked Graham whose team
that was coming. Graham told him
he could see no team and did not
think any was behind. Watson then
started to return to town, and after
going a short distance remarked
that he thought he had better take
the other end of the road as he had
been to town all day. This was the
last time he was seen, and the sup
position is he lost the road and
wandered around until he became
exhausted and benumbed by cold,
lay down in the snow and was frozen
to death. Diligent search has been
made but up to this writing nothing
of his whereabouts has been learned.
Grangeville Free Press: The gov
eminent has succeeded in buying
from the Ceur d'Alene Indians -
mile strip on the north side of their
reservation. 1t is the choicest por-
ton of the reservation, and embra-
ces most of the land around Ceur
d'Alene lake. The final papers of the
treaty were signed last week at the
old DeSmet mission on the reserv-
alton. All that is now necessary
is for the President to sign the pa
pers, and then the land will become
a part of the public domain and
subject to immediate settlement. 1t
will be a grand dav for the Clear
water country when the Nez Perez
reservation is that far advanced.

eral Straughan has recommended to

ties, from persons who are actual
settlers on claims and wish the same
surveyed, so that they can enter the
land, to use up more than the
amount of money named. Thirty
thousand dollars is really not
enough. Whatever sum the govrn-
ment might expend on such surveys
it would get back in a very short
space of time and hence it is diff
cult to tell what induces it to so
neglect subdiyiding the public do
