Let it be remembered that now, as
ever, the people are the builders of
the nation. Kings and queens, senates
aud cities are but the extraneos forms,
the gil 'ed drapery that clothes and
decks the internal and and majestic
form. Pyramids may lift their tower
ing heads to the sky and proclaim the
name of mouldering and departed
Pharaoh; but Egypt was made by it's
toiling millions. Pericles and Phidias
may write their names on the grand
and lofty facade of a marble Parthenon,
but the power and glory of Greece
found their form and expression in
the bravery and devotion of its people.
Vespasian may be remembered by
the stupendous ruins of acrumbling
colosseum, but its conception was the
work of an humble artist, and the
patient persevering toll of the faithful
mechanic reared on high its ancient
walls. And so was it all along the
track of the ages Behind all heroes,
and temples, and arches, and thrones,
and crowns, and empires, have gathered
the people, the swarming millions that
have made them what they are. The
bowi.ching power of forms and names
is no more the talisman to move and

HELENA, Mont, June 26.-News has
just come from the Cheyenne agency
that Jules Seminole, the apency inter-
prefer, has killed Cheyenne Indian.
1t was issue day, and the Indians were
gathered at the agency in large num-
bers. including those who recently were
engaged in fortifying their camp. Sem
inole's discharge had been asked for by
the Cheyennes, who thought he was too
good friend of the white man. They
threatened Agent Upshaw that if Sem
mole acted as interpreter at another
issue they would kill the interpreter
and throw Upshaw out of the issue
house. Upshaw, knowing Seminole was
guiltless Of any offense, and fearing. if
he discharged him at the Indians be-
hest, that they would then demand and
insist upon the discharge of every other
employe distasteful to them, refused.
The presence of troops on the following
Issue day prevented any trouble, but. at
the last issue one of the Cheyennes had
an alteration with Seminole, and the
Cheyennes becoming threatening, Sem
mole shot and killed the Indian who
was about to shoot him. Seminole sur
rendered to Maj. Carroll, but the In
dians demand his return to them and
threaten to take him away. AS Maj.
Carroll has three troops of cavalry,
there is not much danger of this. The
whites present at the killing say 1t was
done in self defense. Just little while
ago the Cheyennes attempted to take
Upshaw's life, and he was only saved
by the quick action of Seminole. Of all
the Cheyennes, Seminole is the most re-
liable friend of the whites. A deputy
sheriff and coroner have gone to the
scene.

"Mr. Hays excuse for refusing to
prosecute is astonishing" continued
Judge Flandrau, few minutes later.
"He said there were no means at his
command for the purpose. The United
States district attorney is not dis
bursting officer No money is placed at
his command to prosecute any case.
The attorney issues process, issues
subpenas, and the marshal serves
them The district attorney never has
any anxiety, scarcely thought, OF eX-
pense. This case in this particular is
not unlike any other case for violation
of federal laws, and | cannot conceive
why he should have urged such
fiimsy excuse for denying the petition.
But he will have to prosecute now"

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., June 26.-The
Lower Rrule Indians are again actively
agitating their removal to a point south
of the White river. This question has
for years worried these Indians, and
they are determined on moving; intend
ing to take the matter into their own
hands. unless the government soon
takes action. Almost every Indian of
this tribe is anxious to remove. and it
would not be surprise any day to see
the whole outfit, bag and baggage, head
ing for the south to pitch their tepees
on the coveted land lying south of
White river. They claim the land there
is much better than that around the
present agency. They are liable to have
trouble with the Rosebud band of Sioux
Indians, however. should they attempt
to move south of White river. as that
country belongs to the Rosebuds. and
they have notified the Lower Brules
that they must not intrude upon their
reservation, or Indian blood will surely
flow in great rivers. These threats do
not discourage the Brules in the least,
as they regard the Rosebuds as mighty
poor fighters" The agent at Rosebud

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 26.-Lu-
Glen W. Sperry. one of New Haven's
most prominent citizens not many
years since, shot and killed himself this
morning at II o'clock. He was seventy
years old and had served the city as
mayor and represented it in the legisla-
ture. He was descendant of one OF
the earliest families of New Haven.
The suicide was caused by financial
troubles. Mr.. Sperry was some
years ago appointed to be trustee
of an estate valued at $4,000.
Within the past few weeks,
relatives have been trying to get con-
troll of the estate, and Mr.. Sperry was
ordered by the court to render his &C
count. He could account for but $4,000
OF $1,000, and Was practically adjudged
an embezzler, and would probably have
been arrested had he not shot himself.
Besides this, he had worsted several
men in different ways to the extent OF
several thousand dollars, and was under
at least $4,000 criminal Indebtedness,
without dollar with which to clear
himself. The suicide has caused a SEN
sation, as he shot himself in his house,

Fate of the Entombed Miners Will
Be Known Soon.
DUNBAR, Pa, June 26.-At last the
end seems to be near. The miners are
in the solid coal which forms the line
between the Mahoning and the Hill
Farm mine. At o'clock this evening
they had gone seven feet in the coal, and
the drill hole had been advanced ten
feet. The coal was solid and hard, and
up to that time it was unnecessary to
timber any. If the coal continues as
favorable the men will be through some
time In the early morning hours. 1t
then all depends on what they find on
The other side. If there are no gases,
the work of recovery will proceed very
rapidly. If gases are there, it may be
several hours before the fate of the
men is known.
For two days twenty men have been
cutting a tunnel from the Ferguson
mine to the Hill Farm mine from an
other direction than those at work in the
Mahoning mine. Their intentions have
been kept very quiet as their plan was
very dangerous. At 10 o'clock tonight
they reached within two feet of the Hill
Farm mine and were stopped by the
authorities. Testing machines were
taken into the tunnel, drill was forced
through into the mine, a bag of air was
taken out for testing. The hole was
then plugged.

SEATTLE, Wash, June 26.-The trial
of Herbert F. Beecher, charged With
larceny, ended to-day in the United
States district court. The defendant is
a son of the late Henry Ward Beecher,
and was appointed collector of customs
for the Puget sound district in 1885
by President Cleveland. Capt. Beecher
held the Office for few months only,
as the senate refused to confirm his
nomination, whereupon he was made a
special agent by the president. During
an examination into the condition OF
the Port Townsend custom house many
grave Irregularities were dis
covered. In April, 1889, the
grand jury In Port Townsend
returned a true bill against Beecher
charging him with larceny of volume
of "RecOrds of moneys received from
all sources" committed when he was
collector. When the evidence was all
in to-day Judge Hanford instructed
the jury to render a verdict of not
guilty, which was done. The charge
against Beecher was dismissed.

STORY OF THE CRIME.
The Double Murder for Which
BrOOker Was Hanged.

The crime for which BroOker is to
suffer was committed about mile and
a half east of Pine City village, at the
home of William COOmbS. COOmbs was
married to sister of Brokers wife,
and she made CdombS' house sort Of
rendezvous when away from home.
Brooker went there after her the fatal
morning, and, while demonstrating with
her for continual absence from home,
Mrs. COOmbs engaged Brooker in a
quarrel, angry words were exchanged,
elimination and recriminatiOn followed,
until, furious with anger, Brooker raised
his double -barreled rifle and shot the
woman dead. The husband, hearing
the quarrel and seeing his wife fall,
fastened from the farm, where he was
engaged in killing calf, to get his gun,
but BrOoker was between him and the
house, and before he had traversed half
the distance, Brooker sent two rifle
balls through his body. Coolly should
ering his weapon, he went to the home
OF Mrs. Christine Hhslen, neighbOr,
and reported the killing.
He was Immediately arrested, his
trial followed, and he was convicted.
For many months he was incarcerated
i'm the prison at Saltwater. A peculiar
incident connected with the case is tie
fact that one of the jurymen few days
ago made affidavit that he had not on
any ballot voted BroOker guilty of MUIR
der i'm the first degree. No attention,
however, was paid to this, and the
hanging proceeded according to pro-
gramme.
