An Iron-Clad Order to Stop the Traffic
Altogether.
PARIS, Tex. July Judge Bryant madc
an important order in regard to selling in
toxicants in the Indian Territory. All
deputy marshals are directed to take a
witness and notify all persons who are
keeping establishments where liquor or
medicine of an Intoxicating character,
under whatever name or guise, are sold,
that they must close the business by July
Is. If parties fail to do SO, commissioners
are directed to take coenizance of and
make each day they persist in selling a
separate offense. Judge Bryant says that
he will give all such persons tried and found
guilty the full penalty of the law. The eff
feet of this order will be either to break up
a great many joints and dives that are said
to exist in that country that have mean
whisky under the name of some kind OF
tonic, or send a number of men to the peni
tentiary.

THERE were moro than 4,GOO voters
registered in Helena last year; there are
$500 school children in the city; r. L.
Polk & Co., residents, who compiled
this years directory, enrolled the names
of 7,4O0 adult citizens. Multiplying the
number of voters by five, the usual null
tiple, we have as result $1,000 inhab-
itants; or, multiplying the number of
adult citizens named in The directory by
three, we have 22,2OO. The census re-
turns that have been sent to Washing
ton should give about these figures if
the work has been thoroughly done.

OF LABOR IN DAKOTA,
Farmers Offering Big Wages, but without
Obtaining Help.

Farmers Offering Big Wages, but without
Obtaining Help.
ELLENDALE, N. D., July 7.-Farmers here
and throughout both North and South
Dakota are becoming agitated over the
scarcity of labor. Hundreds of men nre
needed in almost every county to save the
big wheat crop which is now coming for
ward. Wages will be from 50 to IS per
day from the opening of haying till the end
of the threshing season. July Is to Decem-
Der l. Owing to the partial failure of the
crop last season the laboring men have been
seeking employment elsewhere during the
past eight months. Thousands have gone to
Washington, the West Superior region and
the Sioux reservation. Hundreds of farm
ers who have hitherto hired one or two men
are doing all their own work this season.
They have been able to get to the present
stage without the usual force of laborinp
men, but will be stuck when harvest time
comes unless there is a large immigration,
| 1t is probable that the railroads will be
petitioned to give special rate to harvest
hands and threshers for ninety DAYS. in
order that the surplus labor of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Illinois may be induced to
| come this way.

OMAHA has school roll of $1,000, ex-
actly six times that of Helena. The
census gives Omaha 134, 742 inhabitants.
With the same ratio OF population to
school children Helena would have o.
500 inhabitants, but as matter of fact
Helena should use seven as multiple
instead of six, in computing population
on school statistics, which would give us
a total of 24,5o0, near approach to the
correct number.

BosToN, July 31.-From different Sec
tions OF New England reports come to-
night that the intensely hot weather of
the past two or three days was fol-
lowed this afternoon and evening by Sc
we're thunder and wind storms. In only
one instance is loss of life reported. At
Rockland, Mass, lightning struck Mrs.
Finnegan's house, killing an eighteen
months old child. In Randolph, Mass,
John Dunn's house was struck and the
father and three children paralyzed
for a time. but recovered. In Law
renee the people suffered another
fright this afternoon when a tornado
of wind and dust struck the northern
side of the city and did considerable
damage. At Old Orchard, Me-, the
storm created great havoc. Two
large lumber sheds near Millinken's
steam mill were blown down, and the
tornado cut path an eighth OF mile
wide through pine forest, dwelling
100000 feet of timber. At TACOMA, n.
H.. the wind blew down partly
finished building, and JOhu Austin. a
carpenter. was badly crushed in the
ruins. In this city the rain fell in sheets
for about an hour, accompanied by
sharp lightning. The Catholic cathe-
dral ON Washington street was
struck near the Maiden street
entrance and nearly half ton of stone
was dislodged. Clark's hotel. near the
Boston theatre, was also struck by a
lightning bolt, but aside from causing
fright, caused no trouble. Several cases
of prOStration and one death from the
heat are reported.

81 LONDON. July 3l.-The confirmation
of the reported existence of cholera to
an epidemic degree at Belgrade and
Mecca causes great uneasiness in West
ern Europe, and strict precautions are
being taken at MarSeilles and other en-
treports of Oriental traffic. to prevent,
if possible. the Introduction of infection
through those ports. The cholera at
Mecca is always caused, as everybody
knows, by the presence of immense
crowds OF pilgrims to the holy city of
Mohammed, who have not the slightest
notion of sanitary laws. and who dwell
in {. condition of filth almost indescrib-
axle. Mecca will continue to be the
starting place of cholera epidemics,
therefore until Arabia is placed under
some strong and enlightened govern
ment, which will enforce sanitary pre-
cautions at the holy city. The pilgrim
age this year is OH a more extensive
scale than for many years past, and
queer feature of it at Cairo was that
the Egyptian troops who turned out to
give the procession a start were COM
manded by British officers. The man.
ner of pilgrimage is now greatly
changed. enterprisIng brokers taking
pilgrims in hand and forwarding them
by steamer and rail at SO much a head,
a much more comfortable way than the
old journey through the desert, which
latter, however, is still kept up by force
of tradition on the part of the more con-
Seryative followers of the prophet.

Exclusion of the Kreutzer Sonata
from the Mails Ridicuied.

Exclusion of the Kreutzer Sonata
from the Mails Ridiculed.
LONDON, July 31.-The report that the
United States postal authorities had
excluded Tolstoi's "Kreut2er Sonata"
from the mails is read here with
expressions of mingled astonish-
ment and rldicule. A well known lit
erary man said tonight: In view of
the Dauseating indecency of many
American novels-chiefly those of
women writers-which are coming over
here every day, and which are presum
ably allowed to circulate through the
American mails, one can hardly credit
this report that Tolstoi's remarkable
though painful study has been singled
out for the rare condemnation OF
the United States government.
1t will be interesting to see
what will follow. If the Washington
postal authorities have constituted them
selves censors of literary morality they
must not stop short with TolStoi. Who
will be the next victim, or perhaps it
would be more correct to say the next
beneficiary, from an advertising point
of view, of their fastidious Judgment?
Another critic on being shown the
caDlegram, SAID: This IS very
singular official action. The fact
is that the 'Kreutzer Sonata is
as far removed from the ertotic immOr-
alities of fiction as physiological text
book Is from an obscene picture book.
While we may question Tolstoi's judy
ment, we are not permitted to doubt the
eXaltati0n OF his purpose in writing the
book. Eminent medical men and NOR
alists have agreed that the subject mat
ter OF the book is one which demands
recognition, and that Tolstoi's treat
ment of it, while not perhaps cOnclu-
sive. is justifiable Oh the ground that it
is scientific in aim, though popular in
method"

Scinded. Nor do we think it ought to
be. Whether the false returns that
have been sent in are the result of
idiocy or knavery is matter of no
practical consequence III determining the
question of recount. Secretary NOBLE
will not stop to consider whether the
man who made the returns is fool or a
scoundrel so long as the returns show
crookedness on their face. If. in his es-
timation, they are discredited that will
settle the question of recount, and he
will leave it to the department of JUS
tice to decide the question of Grimm
atty.
The thing now for us to do is to set
about devising some plan by which the
recount shall be fair one. If it is to be
made in six days, we fail to see how the
city is to get justice. Twenty days is
short enough time, and it will require
extraordinary exertion to get thor
ough census in that time.
If Supt. PORTER could be induced to
omit all that tomfoolery about trying to
get at the number of ex-convicts and
oISOooCo pCloOIlo l3i LaG
confine the work of the recount to ascer-
tanning the number of live folks who
dwell within our corporations limits,
the work could be greatly facilitated.
Another important matter is to get
capable enumerators. 1t is said that
400 will be employed. If the number
were LOCO it would be so much the bet
ter. An enumeration to each block
would not be out of the way. Nor is it
beneath the dignity of any citizen to act
as an enumerator. Under these peculiar
circumstances the more prominent the
citizen the more will it comport with
the dignity and patriotism of his citi-
zenship to express willingness to take
the place OF an enumerator.
We don't want any more of this ex-
pert directory business. We have had
enough of that. We want a good square
count OH strictly honest basis, but we
want it to be full count. And it is to
the accomplishment of that end all our
citizens must now address themselves.

North Dakota is not in It's direction.
Only very improbable contingencies
will. ever make it live issue there
again. The suave gentleman nominated
for governor has never made himself
obnoxious to either faction and would
not be obdurately in the way of good
fortune for his friends. Nor is he likely
to initiate the Republican governors of
Iowa and Kansas in trying to prove to
the people that prohibition is a success.
He is not an angular man in estfetic or
political relations, although rigid as a
partisan. He has none of the martyr
spirit of the present executive. The
special moral of the Grand Forks fight
is that the lottery fellows are not to be
cremated and that it is best not to in
Sist upon cremation during life.

DEpEw AS A CANDIDATE.

A Minnesota man named FRANK B.
HART is known abroad apparently as a
prominent and discerning citizen of one
of the Twins. This fact made his opin-
ions, delivered on recent visit to New
York, receive distinguished reception.
His theme was Mr.. DEPEw as the next
Republican candidate for president, and
the hold he has upon the Northwest.
His somewhat recent Chicago speech
advanced the wave of enthusiasm. Mr..
HART was elated to hear that DEPEw
would carry New York like cyclone,
and reclprocated with the averment
that the objections to Mr.. DEPEw as a
candidate in 1888 had all been removed.
and the Northwest would be for him in
1892 or in 1896. This statement has at
tracted the attention Of Republican pa
pers in Illinois and Nebraska so far as
to secure its denial as the sentiment of
those states. 1t is conceded that the
gentleman has peculiarly amiable adj
dress and speech, but the people of the
West would not support for president
one identified with great railroad cor
poration. Still, Mr.. DEPEw is quite
likely to be before the next convention.

intended 10 write every week, but l
always put 1t off," In brief, Lord
Boyle'S story. as he gives it, is this:
He went to America in 1882 to start
stock farm in Canada. He was mem
Der of the dominion parliament for
Fort Mcleod. His brother, the
same one who was advertising for
| him, was there in the same business
and at the same time. Early in
| 1887 the younger brother tired of stock
raising and went home, but Lord Boyle
determined to try his luck again in
another part of the country. He first
went to Tacoma and finally bought a
farm and a few horses near Boise City.
There he went under the name of
Boyle, always taking pains to conceal
his title. From the time he settled
there, three years ago, he never heard
from or wrote to any friends or rela-
tiyeS. and never read any newspaper.
Three times in the three years he jour-
neyed to Seattle to sell horses. 1t was
on his last visit that he picked up the
newspaper advertising for him. Lord
Boyle repeated several times that he
had no Interior motive in coneeaIing
his whereabouts; had no quarrel with
mis- family, or alliances by marriage or
otherwise which made his Seclusion de-
sirable. He simply took notion to
keep quiet for time and did so.

Wounds His Sweetheart.
LOUISVILLE. July 31.-A sensational
shooting took place in the eastern por-
ton of the city this morning. Peter
McCrary, until recently night watch
man at the st. Louis cemetery, shot
and MORALLY wounded Annie Stakin,
pretty servant girl, employed at the
home of Mr.. Hech. 631 Clay street.
McCrary, it seems, met the girl two
years ago when she was employed at
the cemetery in some connection. She
is handsome blonde, and he was very
devoted i'm his attentions TO her, calling
upon her frequently and regularly. Last
night he took her out for a walk.
The girl was afraid of McCrary and
though she did not love him, had re-
fused to tell him to stop calling on her,
as advised her by friends. McCrary
was very jealous of Pat Dulaney. an old
sweetheart of Annie's. This morning,
after few moments conversation with
the girl, he pulled a pistol and shot her
through the head. The ball entered be-
hind the right ear and passed out below
the left Jaw. She is still conscious, but
it is thought cannot possibly live. After
shooting her McCrary attempted twice
to take his own life. The first ball
grazed the skull, the second knocked
out his teeth, tearing away the lips and
part of the Jaw. He was not seriously
hurt, however, and will live. 1t seems
the girl refused to marry him, and said
she was going to res ume her Intimacy
with her former lover, Pat Dulaney.
McCrary was taken to prison.
