TO QUIET THE INDIANS.
ONLY ONE WAY TO PREVENT
AN OUTBREAK.

Take Their Guns Away and They Will
Settle Down Peaceably, but Otherwise
the Lives and Property of Settlers Are
I'm Danger.
Lame Deer Agency (Mont.) dispatch:
The threatened outbreak among the
Cheyennes is for the present arrested.
But should the Cheyennes break their
promises made TO Colonel Curtis and
Major Upshaw in open council last
night and be caught at their old tricks.
all the troops In Fort Keough
and Custer combined cannot prevent
bloodshed. The stockmen are terribly
In earnest and swear they will shoot
every Indian who Is detected killing
range cattle on the reservation. That
the settlers have had good cause to
be frightened Is undoubtedly true, des-
pite the talk OF the soldiers TO the con-
trary. Ever since Fergusons body was
found riddled with bullets a month ago
thirty miles from the agency the feeling
has been intense, and it needed but
single ill-advised word or action
on the part of either the cow
boys or Indians TO precipitate
campaign OF blood. Major Carroll,
who is still encamped mile
below here with three troops of calvary,
says he has investigated the stories OF
outrages by Indians, and while he
acknowledges the Cheyennes have killed
many cattle, he believes the reports are
greatly exaggerated.
The Indians are well supplied with
Springfield rifles. which they are sup
posed TO use in the hunt, but, as mat
ter of fact. all the game on the reserva-
tion would not furnish the tribe With
meat enough for ne days rations.
If the Indians are TO be kept here and
the property of the white settlers re-
spected and their lives secured, the
government must give the Cheyennes
enough To eat or they will go off their
reservation and get fresh beef. and
while doing this they are sure to be de-
tected by the stockmen. who, in turn,
will fire upon the Indians and general
fight will be the inevitable outcome.
Fresh beef is the only game in this
country for the Indians to kill, and so
long as they are permitted to retain
their guns an outbreak may be expected
at any moment. If the Indian Depart
ment fails TO take any notice of the
urgent appeals of Agent L pshaw it must
be held responsible for the lives of all
the whites who may die while defending
their property.

TROUBLESOME INDIANS.
Many Settlers Leaving Their Homes and
Seeking Safer Quarters.


Miles City Mont. J. dispatch: Latest
reports from the scene of the Indian
troubles are not reassuring.
Four more families have arrived from
the menaced settlements in the Chey-
enne country, and a man just in, who
struck the road from the agency about
forty miles south of here, reports pass
ing three more families on their way
and number more following. There
has been no news direct from the scene
Tor two days and what has happened no
one knows.
As the trouble is examined into more
closely the more serious does it become,
and the more need is there for prompt
and effective action. Two weeks OIL
more ago while Deputy Sheriff Johnson
was out on the Rosebud summoning
jurors three Cheyennes stopped him and
warned him TO return. He pushed them
aside and kept on, the Indians following.
In few minutes he reached the top
Of hill and, looking down, saw party
Of Cheyennes engaged in war dance.
He returned just week ago. George
Way, settler, was stopped on the road
by Cheyennes and ordered back and
obeyed the order. Wolf Voice. Chey-

Gratitude Counts Not Cost.

Nobody knows how much money the
dependent pension bill will take from thu
National Treasury, for there are no data
on which to make an estimate. 1t will
be a very large amount, but the feeling
is that the money is a moral debt to the
men who risked their lives in the service
OF their country; that payment has been
delayed too long already; that the coun-
try is rich and can afford to pay, and that,
therefore. 1t should begin TO discharge its
debt as soon as possible. In doing this
the United States sets an example to all
the other nations of the world. 1t takes
care of its veterans after they have'be-
come unable to fight, and provides for
them. not merely because they became
iucapacitated in it's service, but because
it owes them debt of gratitude for what
they did for il. And as they risked not
only their lives but the happiness and
livelihood of those dependent on them,
so the nations gratitude extends to their
widows and orphans and their dependent
parents. In other countries disabled vet
Grams sometimes receive a small pension
and sometimes an asy lum when they have
no homes of their own, but nowhere q
pension like this, simply for services
rendered. and nowhere is provision made
for their families
The country owes everything to its citi-
zen soldiers, and it is paying them hon
estly, without stopping to count the cost.

A Federal Election Bill.

The manly and patriotic way is to
frame a measure which will secure an
honest vote aud an honest count in
Northern States, and to make that the
law for all States alike. If it can not be
enforced at the South, or can not be en-
forced without a kind of interposition
which the Government deems inexpedient,
that will be the misfortune of Southern
voters, but not the fault of Congress.
When Southern States advance one by
one o far in civilization that laws are re-
spec,ed and can be enforced, in these
States also the people will recover their
right of government NeU York

Mayville (Ky.) dispatch: At Bull
creek, six miles above here, two
black clouds met and burst. The
creek jumped over, and II swept like
driftwood several dwelling houses and
their frightened occupants. The stone
culvert on the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
road oyer Bull creek was washed out
into the river and about IL o'clock last
night, while the storm was at its height,
the west bound freight-train ran into
the washout, causing fearful wreck.
The engine and nine cars were piled one
on top OF another almost in the creek
bottom. The following were buried in
the wreck:
ENGINEER c. c. RoADCAP OF Greenup
county
FIREMAN MORRIS HoNAKER of Lewis
county
BRAKEMAN CHARLES EATON.
The train was the first section OF
freight No. 33, drawn by engine No.
l54. which is one OF the largest as we'll
as finest engines on the road. The en-
gine is now out Of sight in quicksand.
The train was running over thirty miles
per hour. little later an east-bound
mixed passenger train would have
passed over the fatal culvert, when the
loss OF life would have been appalling.
1t seems incredible that so many cars
could be iammed into so small hole as
there is at this culvert
James Irwin had a portable saw-mill
located several hundred yards up Bull
creek, above the railroad. The clouds
suddenly bursting caused rapid rise in
the creek, already badly swollen by the
storm. Farmers say the creek rose two
feet per minute, and the water looked
like wall twenty-five feet high
when IL got TO the railroad. The
saw-mill was lifted from its faStenngs
and with over hundred big logs
hurled violently against the railroad
stone culyert. This is what probably
caused il TO give way. Huge stones
weighing several tons were carried by
the creek long distances. The creek
rose two feet higher than it had been in
forty years. The fury of the storm
caused many persons on Bull creek 10

hills, else the loss of life would have

The Fossil oar Dero sits.


Chas. S. Miller and Mr.. R. Nortor. the
coal mining expert who accompanied HIM,
spent three or four days among the coal
beds near here last week. Friday they
drove into town, and brought with them
large box of coal samples which they oh.
tanned in the several openings TO the coal
mines While on their return trip we had
the pleasure of meeting MIR. Norton, and
he informed us that his mission was a secret
one. He said the people he represented
paid Kim good salary, and their business
required the information for themselves
alone. The box of specimens left here
was marked to ''R. Norton. Hotel Port
iand." Mr.. Norton has been in the employ
of the Northern Pacific as coal expert for
several years, but whether he came out
here for that company or not, We cannot
say. 1t is probable. however, that he came
in the interest of the Hunt railroad men,
as The Dalles people are in conference with
Hunt in regard to building The Dalles
Sodthern, one branch OF which will doubt
less come through here. on its way to the
mines of the upper John Day. Mr.. Norton
will doubtless be compelled to report q
superior quality of coal-perhaps the best
on the coast-and plenty in sight. one vein
being eleven feet in thickness. We expect
to hear some good news before long. ss
there are too many railroads figuring on
tapping this country. and its resources are
becoming tco well known to long lay unde-
veloped.

CROP-WEATHER BULLETIN NO. IL.

Oregon State Weather Bureau IN ce- opera
tion ,ciM U. s. Signal Service, csnty,ti Office,
Portland, Oregon. For ,ceek enainy Nay
2f, 1890:
Cooler and more cloudy weather has pre-
vailed during the week. with a rising tenn
perature on Friday and Saturday. Light
frosts occurred in a few sections on the 2lst,
but no damage is reported from them. On
the l9sh, light, general rams prevailed
throughout the state, varying from
sprinkle to three-tentbs of an inch, which
proved of benefit to all vegetation. From
every section of the state, saye along the
coast and in Douglas, Josephine and Jack
son counties, comes reports that mo.e rain
is needed, especially for late sown spring
grain and, in sections, to allow the proper
heading out of the fall grain. Some fear. it
rain does not fall by June lst, that an aver
age crop will not be harvested.
Fall aud early sown spring grain are be-
ginning to head out; the stalk is generally
reported to be very short. Rye is heading
out, and alfalfa is in bloom in Morrow
county. Cut worms are injuring the onion
crop and gardens in Washington and Clack-
amas county; in the latter the hay crop on
hills will be short, and the late sown grain
did not germinate well and much did not
come up. Through the Willamette valley
more rain is needed. The showers on the
10Th proved to be of great good, but not
enough rain fell. The acreage of grain IN
Benton is reported to be less than for years.
In Southern Oregon counties, everything is
promising and large crops will be harvested.
More rain would do no harm, though in
most sections it Is not yet badly needed. In
these counties the winter rains were un-
usually heavy. The rain freshened up veg
citation in Eastern Oregon, though more is
needed. Encouraging reports as to the
prospects comes from the entire section. A
good rain before June lst would insure the
largest crop ever gathered in this section.
The weather has been too cool for corn to
q, we'll as winter and volunteer grain. In
Gillian buffilo grass IS drying up. In
Morrow potatoes and corn as well as
wheat are promising. In Umatilla the
wheat is heading, and nights have been cool.
In Union the valleys of Wallowa, Baker
and interior counties report crops as grow
ing well and giving promise of good yields.
There has been but little rain and rather
high temperature for the past five weeks.
The snow continuessto melt IN the mount
aims, but during the week the rivers have
remained nearly stationary or have fallen
slightly. B. 5. PAGUE,

A MESS OF 1T.

Oreqonian: F. A. Mcdonald, late register
of the land Office at The lilies, writes let
ter as partisan to explain away letter he
wrote last November as an official. By this
remarkable performance ne succeeds admi.
rably in making himself contemplate. He
now wishes he hadn't written that letter,
since he perceIves it is extremely embarras.
sing to the Oregon Democracy; so he wants
to make out there was nothing in it. He
really didn't intend to reflect on the Penno-
yer administration at all. They were out
side parties, all republicans, whom he was
after, but it SO happens that it was the gov
erner who was charged by law with the duty
OF selecting the lands. and Mr.. Mcdonald
asserted in his letter that the lands were se-
lected in the interests Of a ring who had sold
them in advance for So so an acre, while
paying only 81 % an acre for them.
In his Cflicial letter Register. Mcdonald
said "The selections as made are against
the interest of the general government and
OF this state, and are against sound public
policy" Now, who made the selections"
or allowed applicants to make them? The
land commissioner of the state, the goYer'
nor. He is expressly charged by law with
the duty Of making these selections, No
one can share it with him. Mcdonald, as
an official of the United States, insisted
that these selections were made wrongfully
and fraudulently; he now tries to make out
that there was nothing wrong about them
that is, nothing that was done by the off,
Gals of the state. True, he said in his Off
cial letter: "With kilograms and letters
and personal visitations, The stale has re.
minded US of bees about the bunghole of a |
cider barrel;" but after oil, it was not "the |
state" he now tells us, but certain men not |
officials. notably Messrs. Mccormack and
Gilchrist. All the men engaged in this
scheme he denounces as republicans. Gov
ernor PennoYer, he informs us, is guilty of
no sin OF omission or commission in the mat
ter, for the governor has told him so. He
takes great pains, likewise, to "ring in the
republican secretary of the state; but, in
fact, the secretary of state has nothing to
do with the selection of land.
An intense partisanship reveals itself in
every line of this letter. Mr.. Mcdonald as
a partisan shows an intense eagerness to dis
credit Mr.. Mcdonald as an official. Such
for partisan ends is phenome-
nal. After reading this letter, the public
will be quite prepared to accept the state
ment of Mr.. Davis that Mr.. Mcdonald had
some of the pork. 1t was mean 10 him,
however, to ''peach," aud it is meaner still
cow to try to recant. Mr.. Mcdonald has
made a mess of it. Just now he elects to be
believed as partisan rather than as
an official. After our election OF next week
the exigency will not be so great. Oregon
is to be congratulated ON the fact that Mr..
Mcdonald Is no longer one of her citizens.
If there are depths below depths OF con-
Mr.. Mcdonald is down fiat at
the bottom.

did not inflict cruel and unusual punish
ment, and its courts have sustained that
determination. This court cannot see
