LOST HER GOLDEN HAIR.
A Girl Seized By a Man and Her
TreSSeS Clipped.

Miss Schumann is a we'll built, handsome
young lady of Burlington, Iowa. One Of the
most prominent features about her was her
hair, which was of golden hue and abundant.
She now wears it short-very short
for the following reasons: while re-
turning from en- errand on Main street
the other morning she had TO pass
into a side street, and while yet within the
view Of passersby she was seized from behind
by a strange man who encircled her waist
with one arm and held her fast while he rap
idly clipped off her golden tresses. So quick
ly was the whole thing done that the young
lady had scarcely time TO struggle or cry
out, and the next moment the man had dis
aDDeared.N

Sale OF Elk City Quartz Claims,

Recent deeds filed for record in the
Office of the county clerk at Mt. Idaho
show that several mining claims in Elk
City district have recently changed
hands. Mr.. Caleb Brinton, who is now

sold, and he appears TO have been the
moving spirit in the transactions. One
deed transfers from Caleb Brnton to c..

A FATAL ACC DENT.
David Niekson Killed While Freighting Over
craig's Mountain.

One of those distre essing accidents
which happily are not frequent here,
happened on Craig's mountain last
week. by which one or the respect cd
citizens of Camas prairie lost his life.
David Nickson was on the road from
Lewiston with four horse load of
freight for Vollmer Sdott's Grangevills
store. He and other teamsters had
camped Friday night on the other side
OF Willowcreek and on Saturday morning
he was the last TO break camp, and was
therefore In the rear. On the road he
stopped to adjust the lead chain to the
donoie-trees. and while doing so the
lead horses started up and the double-
trees struck Mr., Nicksd dn in the groin
with such deadly force as to laeerate the
abdomen and expose ii entrai,s. Re-
alizng his position, h mounted the
wagon, which was loa aded extremely
high, and loped his team until ne causht
up with the teamsters ahead, a distance,
OF about two miles. v hen he hailed
them and acquainted them with his DO
sition, and they did all they knew to al
leviate his suGerings. which were very
great. Finally, buck -board was Sc
cured, and he was conveyed to the res
idence of Mr.. Rsdon, near Willow
creek. he seemed to know that death
was near. and sent for his wife and chill
dren to come over and be with him. but
by some mistake in delivering the mes-
sage, the fatal character OF the news was
not understood and Mrs. Nickson start
ed alone and arrived there Sunday
evening. He remained perfectly con.
sclous, and detailed all The particulars OF
the accident, and left Instructions about
delivering freight, etc, and on Monday
morning lie passed away. The sad news
was not known here u htl Mr.. Brock.
man arrived Monday morning to have
the coi1n made, and shortly after, the
dead mans team was driven in, with
the freight just as he had loaded it.
The remains were taken to his residence
In Lake district. and on Tuesday after.
noon he was buried in the Grangeyills
cemetery.
Mr.. Nickson was one of the oteadiest
and most reliable team4ters on the road,
and hard. working and honest man,
lie had been resident of this prairie
Tor several years, and leaves wife and
four children, to whom the sympathy Of
the community is extended in the loss
of the head of their household.

TIE Political RerO,utiO9,.

The result of the fall elec.
tions is a democratic majority
OF l27 in the LII congress
The republicans won the last
presidential election by the
lying accusation that the de-
mocracy was committed to q
Free Trade policy. The peo-
pie were so successfully fooled
on that issue two years ago,
that the republicans determ-
lned to repeat the experiment
in this campaign. 1t was a de-
llberate and systematic repub-
lican effort to impose upon the
ignorance and credulity of the
people. The false and impu-
dent claim that the tariff is not
a tax is an insult to the COM
mon sense and intelligence of
the people which they quickly
perceived and resented. 1t is
another proof of the wisdom of
Lincoln's saying: " You can
fool all the people some of the
time, and some of the people
all the time, but you can't fool
all the people all the time
The protective tariff system
is doomed. 1t is q system that
violates every principle of
common sense, common hon
esty and common justice. 1t
has only been sustained all
these years by the subtle and
sophistical argument of it's
benefciaries that the success
ful establishment Of q manu-
featuring business, though the
profits inure to private indi-
viduals or corporations, is in
directly a benefit to the COM
munity: 1t is system of class
legislation which has built up
vast fortunes for a few at the
expense of the many. 1t is
system of extortion which
forces American farmers to sell
under free trade, and buy un-
der protection. Such a system
is bound, sooner or later, to
beggar the farmers. The de-
cline in the agricultural inter-
ests of our country has been
continuous with the growth
and enforcement of the pro-
tective tariff idea. After twen-
ty five years of ever increasing
High Protective Tariff Taxes
we have arrived at a stage
where the profits of farming
will not pay for labor-saving
machinery, and we bid fair to
return to the human muscles,
which are cheaper than the
steel and iron combinations
once so profitable. Our lands
are shingled with mortgages
which never can be lifted.
With the foreclosure of these
mortgages, the railroad land
grant legislation of successive
republican administrations, the
debasement of the silver cur
rency of. the people by the
same agency. the free importa-
tion of foreign labor, and other
acts of like nature have already
established in these United
States a heavier percentage Of
tenantry than any other coun-
try on earth. Unless there is
speedy return to the good old
American principle of exact
and Equal Justice to all, and
special privileges to none," we
shall soon see the American
farmer reduced to the condi-
tion of the farmer on the shores
of the Baltic sea, who works
for SIS year and a sheep
skin coat. The protective sys-
tenn has brought the country
to the verge of a volcano. The
farmers who have been fooled

TYLER, Tex Dec. 2.-The passengers on
a mixed train on the Cotton Belt road were
robbed Monday night between Big Sandy
and Winona by lone highwayman. He
uncoupled the passenger coach from the
train, and before the trainmen made the
discovery the robber had ordered the
passengers to hold up their hands, while
he pointed big six-shooter at each as he
demanded his money. j. G. Gerhart, a
sewing machine man from Tyler, was shot
through the breast by the robber and will
probably die. In the scuffie with Gerhart
the robber fired five shots. He then turned

Monday night with sixty-five soldiers
bound for the frontier, where they will

Fort Robinson, Neb. Orders were received

get the detachment ready for service in

are nearly all recently enlisted men, do
not like their dangerous detail, and some
of them swore they would desert before
they reached their destination. Another
detachment will be started on Saturday.
