Badly Used Up by Bees.

Mr.. George Murray, a teacher at the
Colliery board schools, Option, with the
assistance of one or two other GENTLE
men, was preparing to carry some half
dozen hives of bees from the Colliery
farm to the fells at Waskerley. During
the process Of packing them in cart
the bottom fell off one of the hives. and.
as a natural consequence, the bees came
buzz ;lng out and stung Mr.. Murray and
his companions, as well as stinging the
horse attached to the cart. The animal
bolted away in fright. Hundreds Of
bees found their way out Of the remain
der OF the hives, and not only stung the
occupants of the cart and the horse in a
dreadful manner, but the insects also
fastened themselves upon a number Of
school children who were having a ride
through the village on hay cart. Mr..
Murray and his companion (Mr. ElliotN
were left lying on the ground in an ex-
hausted and almost unconscious state.
and the horse was 50 badly injured by
the insects stings that it fell down upon
the road and succumbed the same night.
Mr.. Murray was also confined to his bed
for some time, but on Saturday he was
reported to be much better. The rest
appear to be very little worse. Pail

The Z. dian Problem Not Yet Solved.

The n dian Problem Not Yet Solved.
While we congratulate the people of
the whole northwest, and especially the
citizens of Dakota, on the contamination
of their long desire, the opening of the
reservation by no means puts an end to
the Indian problem as far as the Sioux
are concerned. On the contrary, it is
scarcely more than the beginning. Only
q part of the reserve is acquired by the
government; and the same questions will
doubtless arise in future, as to that part,
which have proved SO vexatious in rela-
ton to the whole. No settlement can
ever be regarded as final which stops
short of the absolute allotment of lands
in severalty and the adding Of all that
remains to the public domain. Again,
1t seems as if the government were mere
~ abandoning one posture of the ssguar-
dian and ward" attitude il order to as
sumo another. The reservation system.
with its issue Of rations and consequent
tendencies toward idleness and vice. has
scarcely a friend remaining. Yet we
have only the same thing in another
form in the practice of accommodating i'm
mense cash funds for the benefit Of the
Indian, to be held in trust by the nation,
while interest is paid regularly to the
beneficiary. The purchase Of these lands
by the nation means a permanent invest
ment in trust for the Indian. And IS ia
not according to nature that quarterly
payment to him of 50 many dollars in
cash as interest will be any less democrat
izing than the issue Of SO many blankets
and 50 many pounds Of flour, beef and
pork.-St. Paul Pioneer-Press.

We suggest to the sewing society
that they hire a sewing machine

will then do more sewing in a half

is q labor Of love, and they don't
want to get through with it too

Democrats took part alike. Joe

Republicans objected to vote for

Republicans expected Democrats
to vote for their nominee. Mr..

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.
Benjamin f. Rogers Instantly Killed
and His Murderer Commits
Suicide.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 2.-This
morning at lOI o'clock in South st. Paul
a sickening tragedy was enacted, two
men now being dead and a third dan
gerously wounded. Benjamin +. Rog-
ers of the big live stock firm OF Rogers
& Rogers, and one of the best known
stock dealers i'm the northwest, was
killed by George Robarge, near the lat
tiers house, a mile and quarter from
the stock yards. Some cattle belong
ing to Rogers in charge of young
herder named Loren Nickel were being
driven across Robarge's premises to
grazing ground, when RObarge as
saulted Nickel. Mr.. Rogers, whose
house is but short distance off, heard
of the trouble and went to the spot.
He tried to get Robarge to mark the
cattle belonging to him so as TO prevent
future trouble, but the latter was too
angry to pay any attention. Robarge
first used shovel and then an AK but
was kept off by Mr.. Rogers. He then
procured his shotgun and shot Billy
Rogers-who had come upon the scene
in the shoulder. The wounded man
ran for his life and Robarge opened
fire on Mr.. Benjamin Rogers, emptying
an entire load of shot in his head by the
left ear, making a frightful and fatal
wound, death resulting almost instant
ly. AS soon as the news of the MUIR
der reached the stock yards an excited
crowd of men started out with guns in
their hands and vengeance in their
hearts, but they were too late. After
an excited search of the woods they
found Robarge in his barn, dead. He
had placed the muzzle of the gun to
his head and pulled the trigger with
his toe, blowing off the entire upper
part of his head and scattering his
brains all over the stall where he lay,
The murderer and suicide was an an
archist.

Centigrade thermometer, so called be-
cause II marks the boiling point 100 de-
grees from freezing point.
On many accounts the Centigrade
system is the best, and the triumph Of
convenience will be attained when zero
is made the freezing point and when
the boiling point is put 100 or / 900 de-
grees from it, and all the subdivisions
are fixed decimally.
If Fahrenheit had done this at first,
or even if he had made it one Of his
many improvements after the public
adopted his error, the luck of opportun-
ity, which was really his, would have
secured to his invention the patronage
Of the world.
