shortly after the band pretended to sur

Gen. Forsythe issued orders to have

They obeyed slowly and sullenly and
ranged in semi-circle in front of the
tent, where Big Foot, their chief, lay
sick with pneumonia By twenties they
were ordered to give up their arms. The
first twenty went to their tents and
came back with only two guns.
When called upon to give up their
arms they began firing at the soldiers,
who outnumbered them four to one

that five soldiegs were killed in the

A moment later and q stampede

the daring and skillful riders were
scarcely seen and nothing needed as
the mad rush was made toward the

Those of the spectators who had seen

the result would be, and they immedi-

be wise for every one to make hurried
arrangements to climb the nearest trees.
And this was done barely in time, for
on came the herd running madly, heed

dashed across and beyond the stream,
raising a cloud of dust that for time
obscured all the surroundings, and lay

After another hours hard riding the
entire herd was again surrounded and
forced into submission down in the low

wnl1eness, but this lacks confirmation.
The behavior of nickel-steel is very
rem arkable. As usually received from
the maker, nickel-steel with IS per
cent Of nickel is non-magnetic; and
yet it is a mixture of two magnetic
metals, iron and nickel If, now, we
cool this nickel-steel to 30 deg. c
IA deg. Fairy it becomes very de-
cidedly magnetic, and remains so when
it again returns to the normal tempera-
ture. If, finally, we heat it, it remains
magnetic till it reaches its critical
temperature of $50 deg (1,O76 deg.
Fahr), when it again becomes nom
magnetic, and remains so until again
cooled to 40 deg. G. In short, this
nickel-steel may at the common tenn
perature be either permanently mag
netic or permanently non-magnetic as
we please. We can at will make it per-
manently non-magnetic by heating it mo-
mentarily to $50 deg. C, and again cooling
it; or permanently magnetic, by cooling
it temporily to 30 deg. c. Nickel-steel
has been recommended for ship build
ing because non-magnetic. But If the
nickel-steel ship is to become magnetic
suddenly, and without a word of warn
ing, on cooling to "A deg. Fair, sending
its compasses spinning, its sphere of
usefulness would be limited. For,
though this temperature is not reached
during common ocean trips, yet vessels
in port at New York, Boston or Halifax,
on the great lakes and elsewhere, are
occasionally exposed to it. Relocating
the vessel to 1915 deg. Fair. to unmagne-
tie it seems at first to present technical
magnetic 25 per cent nickel-steel apart
tensilely, and, presto! its broken frag-
ments are magnetic!
This, be it understood, is the behavior
of 25 per cent. nickle-steel. 1t does not
at all follow that, with other proper
tions of nickle, the same strange con-
duct will be found. Thus with five per
cent. of nickle, steel becomes non-mag-
netic when heated to about 500 deg. C.
Like 20 per cent nickle-steel, it re-
mains non-magnetic when cooled some
what below this temperature, regaining
its magnetism at a decidedly lower
temperature at which it ag ain becomes
magnetic, instead of being below zero,
is somewhat about $50 deg. c.
Again, it has become pretty we'll
known that tungsten, itself unmagnetic,
greatly increases the magnetism of
steel; and now it turns out that it plays
the same part with nickel, per cent. of
tungsten making nickel more strongly
magnetic than the steel of which
magnets were formerly made. Thus
Mr.. Preece states that, while tungsten
raises the magnetic induction of steel
from 700 to 5000. it raises that of nickel
from 100 to 1,OS2. -Engineering and

1t will be seen from the figures that the

The apprehension from this time for
ward of decrease will not be so appar-
ent in business.
But this is only temporary. The more
we become indie pendent of foreign coun-
tries in our Industrial development the
more will the American idea of money
for circulation grow. And there is an
American idea in this respect as well as
in industrial economy. The European
idea is to have labor at the lowest cost
and money at the highest purchasing
power-or the least in volume possible.
That makes wealth in the few inevita-

greenback question becomes practical
one again, the metal men will be as
tonished at the strength of the legal

has been tremendously advanced by the
decision of the Supreme Court that
Congress has the power, inherent to

finances before the great labor question

WIN Cut a Big Figure This FAN.

1t is becoming more evident every
day that the Alliance is to cut a big
figure in politics this fall, and of course
it will not lose any thing hereafter. All
the farmers have to do is to stand to-
gether in order to get what they want
No political party dare refuse united
demand from them. This has long been
apparent to observing minds, but the
trouble has been, heretofore, that the
farmers were divided politically, and
being unable to unite on any one line,
they have been at the mercy of com
bines, which used them against them
selves, as 1t were. Butat last the scales
seem to have fallen from the grangers'
eyes, and realizing that in union there
is strength and power for good, the
farmers OF this country have concluded
to lay aside party prejudice and to re-
sist combine by combine. From Maine
20 California comes the cheering news
of fresh accessions to our ranks. Let
us stand by our colors and no longer al
low ourselves to be whipped into line
where we will have to fight one another
and against our own best interests.

are almost entirely destitute Of humor,

CASTING FORGED CHECKS.

A Sharp Practice That Has Become Very
Common in New York.
The most curious criminal trade in
this country is that of certain money
lenders who advance cash at usurious
rates Of discount on paper which they
know to be forged. There are several
of these miscreants among the habitues
of Delmonico's, where they are as well
known as their victims themselves.
They rely for-security on the fact that
his family will take the forged paper
up rather than allow the young scape-
grace to be criminally exposed and
punished.
One of the most notorious is now
threatened with the loss of part of his
plumber at least. His victim m this
case was the son of a retired merchant
of large means and unblemished social
record. He secured from the usurer an
advance of nearly $4,000 on three
checks, apparently drawn by the
father of the negotiator to his
sons order. The forgery was,
am told, so fragrant that it
might have been detected by child.
The money was paid on the checks,
less savage rate of interest and was
lost in a couple of days at the race
| track. Then the young scamp became
alarmed and made a clean breast of it
to his father. The latter promptly
shipped him out of the country to either
Africa or South America - exactly
! where, however, is not currently
| known.
Then the family lawyer was called
in and the usurer was summoned. He
boldly demanded payment of the checks
in full, under tire at of sending them in
| to the bank and 80 bringing the for
geries to light and securing the 'indict-
ment of the forger. He was notified to
| go ahead, with the assurance that he
would also be arrested for entering into
a criminal conspiracy. Then he proved
more amendable to a compromise, and
| it is believed that he will be paid the
actual amount of cash he disbursed,
about sixty per cent of the alleged face
value of the checks, for their surren-
