From latest reports the killing OF Sit
ting Bull will not end the war. Hosts
of other wild beasts in the band of the
old chief are reported to be in a state of
bitter hostility on account of the taking
off of the old murderer. The Indian is
the most vindictive specimen the human
race has ever developed. Revenge is
not only part of his creed it is an in
bred quality of his soul. He draws it
from his fathers loins; he imbibes it
from his mothers breast; he is grounded
in the doctrine of it from his earliest
youth; and he is told it is the most es-
sential part of his manhood. He is
treacherous to all obligations where the
duty of revenge is at stake. Now is the
time to make these hostiles, one and all,
good Indians. 1t is in the spring they
will attempt their work of retaliation,

MAJOR TRUMAN is accomplishing a
great deal OF good in his efforts in con-
nection with the permanent exhibit at
Chicago. Those in charge OF this work
keep careful record of what is accom-
plished, and the footings in direct re-
suits is that at least 1000 persons have
been directed into Southern California
by the immediate influence of the ex-
hibit since it was first opened, about
two months ago. There is not the least
room for question that the undertaking
is doing quite all that could be expected
OF it. Of course the effects OF such work
as this are cumulative; and, therefore,
it may be expected that year from
now we will be reaping much larger re-
suits than we see today.

ANDY McNALLY has formally COM
menced suit for the Office of street
superintendent, to which Office he
claims he was elected on the first day
of this month. Mr.. McNally claims
that his opponent received 1862 illegal
votes, while he was deprived of the
benefit of 156 votes which should have
been counted for him. Should this con-
test prove to be as well founded as the
successful one made by Mr.. Rowan, the
city will not lose anything by securing
the services of McNally.

when shall have shaken myself loose
from the destinations of this incompar-
able mountain panorama. Just now it
holds me like spell.
GENIUS AND NATURE.
AS the intelligent observer stands on
Smiley's Heights, he inevitably asks
himself, "What miracle has produced
the growth which l see here in an evil
IDENTIFY sterile land?" AS he asks this
question, he looks at Mount San Ber-
nardino, and he is told that behind the
spur of that mountain-twelve thousand
feet high-lies the celebrated Bear Val
ley Water company.
And a tremendous answer that grand
mountain chain is to any question. As a
matter of fact, the Bear Valley Water
company is gurgling at his feet, with
rythm and wealth-producing energy no.
where known elsewhere on the face of
the earth.
Around the spur of Mount San Ber-
nardino are these perennial streams of
water, as to which we shall shortly
have something to say in subsequent
articles.

THE recount of votes cast for super
visor in the Third district, which took
place yesterday before Judge Mckinley,
developed some important facts, which
show that I. E. Rowan was not on a
still hunt for results. Tommy has
usually enjoyed the reputation OF being
a very level-headed person, and when he
entered into contest for the seat his
friends all knew he had something to
justify this act. In almost every pre-
cinct he gained votes, until he cut away
to nothing the narrow majority of about
sixty votes which the first count showed
for Mr.. Forester. Judge Mckinley is
undoubtedly correct in his view that
votes cast by mistake for Mr.. Mayo and
not allowed Mr.. Rowan should have
counted for the last named candidate.
The change of name was purely clerical
error, and all former decisions emanat-
ing from any fair court have been to rec
ognize the honest intention of the voter
been most efficient officer as super
visog and in other capacities in which
he has served the public. The board
will be all the better for having at least
one Democrat on it, and the Republican
party in the long run will be none the
worse because of the wholesome check
Mr.. Rowan's presence in the board will
exert in preventing extravaganza and
other untoward developments, SO likely
to crop out in a body all ofone complex
ion.

An Equivalent for Suicide,

If we allow our bodily inarmities to make
an immense moral advantage over the deliber-
ate suicide? Scarcely. For example, the deadly
progress of Brights disease, diabetes, acute
nephitis and gravel is sure-often terribly swift
in the catastrophe. Most people of average in
formation know that this Is the simple, unyar.
nished truth in regard to those widely prevalent
maladies To delay judicious medication is
special y suicidal in such cases. The means of
restraint is to be found in Hostetter's stomach
Bitters. Give an impetus to the action of the
kidneys with this safe and reliable diuretic, and
the infant complaint is shorn at its birth of the
power for evil. Allow it to grow, and antici
pate the worst. The Bitters, which annihilates
these growing troubles, also eradicates dyspep-
sia, rheumatism malarial and liver complaints

company is about to expend 100000
for the purpose of improving their
already splendid plant, that movement
will do the city great deal of good.
The expenditure OF large sum for labor
at this time, would of itself be an excel

looks at this stage of the game. the pre-
sumption is strong that the company
contemplates the conversion of its whole

Judge Mckinley was yesterday occu-
pied with the contested election case Of
Rowan vs. Forester, for the Office of
supervisor in the third district. The re-
turns gave Forester majority of sew
enty-two. A number OF legal gentle
men and interested parties were present
while the recount took place. Rowan
made gains in several precincts. A
number of the ballots cast for Mayo,
which were heretofore thrown out, were
allowed by Judge Mckinley for Mr..
Rowan. Mr.. Mayo was the Democratic

The famous St. Bernard dogs are
very carefully trained. A traveller
who visited some Of the monasteries of
the monks of st. Bernard a few years
ago found the monks teaching their
dogs from the earliest stages of puppy
hood. Not only is physical and mental
training included in the teaching, but
spiritual culture is by no means neg
Iected. At meal time the dogs sit in a
row, each with a tin dish before him
containing his repast. Grace is said by
one Of the monks; the dogs sit motion
less with bowed heads. Not one stirs
until the "amen" is spoken. If frisIy
puppy partakes of his meal before grace
is over an older dog growls and gently
tugs his ear.

1t may look like a very easy thing
for a member having his speech writ
ten, to deliver 1t during the course of
an hour in the House, but 1t is not such
an easy thing as it looks. The average
speaker gets a good deal of athletic
exercise in the course of an hours

safe to make such a speech without
taking extra precautions to avoid cool

L know several members who take
extraordinary precautions. They do
not speak often. They know for weeks
beforehand that they are to speak, and
after all precautions are made for the
speech itself, and the day comes for
the effort, they have q servant bring q
complete change Of linen and under
wear and a heavy Overcoat to the Cap

the speaker, with the Precipitation
pouring off of him, rushes to the

with the coat ready. and throws it over
his shoulder as soon as he comes within
reach. Next the member, with the

tucks his dry undercIothing under his
