You can have no idea how alarmed people are who
live in thnly populated parts of the West when an
uprising of Indians is threatened. You will find few
people in the West who do not believe that in open
honest battle 100 white men can whip five times as
many indians however great their reputation for valor
For this they have fine contempt for
the red man. They believe that he is coward first
and always. But they know by some terrible expert
ences how suddenly their cOwardly bands swOop down
upon ranches and lonely settlements At such time
they sweep everything that lies before them and they
reveI in the most fngful cruelty. Therefore while
those who live In towns near forts military camps
are entirely Indifferent as TO their own safety they
become extremely uneasy about Others, friends and

den. He had retired and about 10 O'Clock

lowed by paralysis Of the brain, resulting in

place at st. Francis Catholic Church at
Low-moor, on Tuesday, and was attended
by the Ronceverte Guard and the prominent
business men of Ronceverte, Clifton Forge,

ted at the death of her husband, and is now

Safely Across.

Mr.. Baldwin Wayt has received letter
from his sister, Miss Matte, who with her
father, Miss M. J. Baldwin and party of
several others, sailed May 30th on the Au-
rama from New York for an European
tour. The letter was mailed at Queens
town but was written at sea. 1t says all
the party had been suffering from sea sick
ness, except Miss Baldwin and Miss Nc
MILAN. Two, Misses Emma Russell and
Neil Roberts, have "been to Jerusalem as
the sailors term it-that is while sitting on
deck in chairs the rolling of the vessel threw
their chairs and all to the other side of the
deck. The sailors as they gathered them
up and dashed the chairs to the deck, made
the consoling remark-'This wasn't what
you paid your money for.' The young
writer concludes her letter by saying: 81

had the courage to cross the ocean in

Missed the Dinner After All.

Last year Gen. John Echols, an alumnus
of old Washington College, who never
fails to be present at the commencement
exercises of Washington& Lee University
made the alumni speech at their meeting.
He urged more sociability, and said if they
would have banquet this year and a jolly
good time he would pay half the expense
himself. They took him at his word and
a fine banquet is on the programme this
year. Gen. Echols arrived in Lexington
on Monday, expecting to be present at it,
but got some important kilograms requir-
ing his presence in New York. On Tues
day he was in Staunton waiting for the
Vestibule train, which he took for New
York when it arrived. He had literally
''gone without his dinner,'' but said he
hoped the alumni would enjoy it just as
much as he would if he had shared it with
them.
