No Linlping.

A New York soldier describes with
evident gusto the doings of an Indiana
sharpshooter before Petersburg. Cour-
age is q quality appreciated by all men,
and most of all by those who know
what danger means
One evening "Indiana," accompanied
by a friend from his regiment, pro-
ceeded to walk boldly in front of the
enemy's works, the two keeping in
Indian file. OF course they were fired
upon, and pretty soon a spiteful bullet
came screaming through the air, wound
ing both of them badly in the leg.
"~Indiana's" comrade was naturally
disposed to limp, but was o led to
change his mind.
IF you limp, I'll knock your brains
out with the butt of my gun" Numbered
Indiana" in a tone Of deep earnest
ness. Forward, march! Don't let
the sneaking traitors know you are
wounded"
Both marched boldly to our works,
and on reaching them safely, sank down
exhausted from loss of blood. They
both laughed and joked, and shook
hands over the furlough they expected.
to get, and declared they would never
enter the door of a hospital. #
Indiana" was warlike still, and asked
to be helped up the works that he
might give the Johnnies his pointed re-
spects. After he had done that, he
showed US his many wounds.
He had q bullet wound in the right
leg, a saber cut across the right shout
DEF, q deep bayonet thrust in the left
side, and q sore wound in the head, be-
sides the n just received in the leg.
He fought in the Mexican war, and had
taken part in forty battles in this one.
When the stretcher arrived to convey
him to the hospital, he refused to get
on it, and the last that was e of him
he was limping to the rear, supported
by q stick.

Acknowledgement Of Ohio.

The Big OIL Octopus Attacked by the
Attorney General Of Ohio.
Attorney General Watson has brought
suit in quo warranto in the supreme court
to take away from the Standard Oil COM
pany its charter Tor violation of the LAVISH
many ways. The petition refers to gem
eral state laws against nonopolies, and the
fact that the Standard Oil company has
absorbed other companies and has taken
trust certificates in lieu Of former stock.
The laws Of Ohio provide explicitly
that q majority Of the mem
bers n the board Of directors
Of oil companies incorporated unde.
the laws Of Ohio shall be residents of the
state. The petition sets forth that the
Standard Oil company has surrendered it's
rights for control aud arrangements of its
business to the nine trustees of the Stand
ard Oil trust and none of these trustees
live in Ohio. 1t sets forth that President
Rockefeller gets $4,000 per year and that
the nine trustees get S25,O0O each. The
petition sets forth other violations of Ohio
laws, but the principal point is the fact
that this board Of directors are non-resi.
dents.

Sthere were two men who laid in with

with the toll-gate keeper, told him he
felt we'll, ate we'll and slept we'll, but he
thought he felt q change in his physical

Now said he to the toll-gate keeper.

THE will of u rich old gentleman who
died at Springs, Suffolk county, Long
Island, ove two years ago, is being con-
tested, and evidence as to his sanity is
being submitted. One witness on this
point testified that the old gentleman
was violently opposed to red-headed
girls. One taught school near his place,
and he used ali his influence with the
trustees to have her removed. Failing
in this, he threatened to burn the school
house. and he hired . very homely man
to kiss her. It is safe to say that he did
not get the better of the red-headed
schoolma'am. However that may be,
the fine legal point now arises: Is q
deep-seated antipathy to red-headed
girls proof Of q mans sanity or Of in
sanity?

Pushing the mckinley B,ll.

The great tar1f debate opens to day. At
q conference of the republicans of the
house yesterday there was a discussion as
to whether the tariff bill or the river and
harbor appropriation bill should come up
first in the house. It was finally agreed
that the tariff bill was the more important
and that it should be called up to-day.
Another lively argument was indulged in
when b question arose about the time to
be allowed for it's consideration. 1t was
decided, however, that the general debate
should 60 On for four d~ays-to.day, to.
morrow, Friday and Saturday-with night
sessions for speeches. Eight days addi.
tional will then be allowed for the consid-
Grafton Of the bill by paragraphs under the
ive-minute rule. May 90, or 81 at the
latest, the previous question on the final
passage of the bill is to be considered as
ordered by the terms of the special rule to
be adopted. OF course the members of
the committee on rivers and har-
bors feel somewhat blue over the
manner in which their bill has
been razzle-dazzled. and they say
that as loon as the tariff bill is out of the
way they will antagonize all other legisla-
ton until the river and harbor bill is dis.
posed Of.
Thus, while there will be plenty of i'm
portant legislation accomplished, there
will be SO much Ginning that perhaps
the public building bills for many cities
will be side-trackei I, but your correspond
emit has o very straight tip that bill No. 10,
on the calendar, for the buildiag at Sioux
City will be reached, and when it is there
will be some mighty tall h%ustling-per the
Sioux City way. The bill has mapyfriends,
and will undoubtedly pass. However, it is
just as John Pierce said, that il it hadn't
been for Kerr, of Iowa, Sioux City would
have been placed on the calendar at an
earlier date. By the way, Mr.. Kerr is
worse than Mr.. Holman, Of Indiana, some-
times.

Now THAT the new extradition treaty

less for American defaulters and Grim
inals generally to flee to Canada. They
will be no safer there than in this

must be either q marked decrease in

that it will be the former.
