Letter From Kentucky---Chattano
Reunion.
Bryant

Dear Reveillc:
Ever since returning to Kentucky
have been figuratively lying outside
the breastworks with my ear to the
ground in the confident expectation OF
receiving my country's call; but either
the country is very unappreciatiye and
slow about articulating, or the listen
er's auditory apparatus has slipped a
few cogs, for, would you believe it,
not a whisper has reached me yet.
Let this be urged in extenuation of
this letter, then: nobody knows but
that | may present myself to the un-
terrified democracy Of Claiborne, some
day, as fit subject for the legislature
or coroner aud ranger, especially ran
ger, and II Is very necessary that the
peoples memory should be logged
occasionally, even If ii be by my own
sharp stick. Under the circumstances
there can be no conccit or immodesty
in thrusting these lines upon you, and
If the capital IL" creeps In to an un-
usual extent. the dear people will
please remember that the use is in
Pickwickian sense, and for no more
unworthy motives than those attribut-
ed to the average prospective legis-
Iator.
N. B.-This is a joke, I think: /
cannot stop to point out my witticisms
as go along; il you do not under
stand them send me stamped envel-
ope and III mail you diagram.

TALKING ON THE TARIFF.
The Mckinley Bill Under Discussion
in the House at Wash.
ingt0n.
General Debate on the Measure to Close
Saturday-Little Interest
Manifested.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The chaplain's
prayer and the reading Of the journal
consumed only a few minutes. Then
Mr.. Hill, Of Illinois, called up a senate
bill granting a pension to the widow of
Sergeant Plunkett, and asked for a vote
on an amendment that had been made
by the house committee reducing the
amount of pension from $50 to $25 per
month. The vote developed the fact
that no quorum was present, and a
point was made, much to the annoyance
Of many Of the members. The call
showed a quorum present, and the
amendment was agreed to.
The bill granting a pension to Mrs.
Della 8. Parnell was then called up, but
it was agreed that it should 20 over.
Mr.. Mckinley moved that the house go
into committee Of the whole, for the
consideration of the tariff bill. In max
ing this motion, he said that he would
endeavor to close the general debate on
Saturday evening. Mr.. Mills, of Texas,
thought the time fixed was too short.
Two years ago the Democrats conceded
twenty-three days for debate, and he
demonstrated against the short time
now proposed. Mr.. McKinley's motion
was agreed to, and the house went into
committee Of the whole, Mr.. Payson, of
illinois, in the chair. On motion of Mr..
Mills the committee granted to Mr.. Nc
Kinley the privilege Of speaking without
limit, and on motion of Mr.. Mckinley a
like courtesy was granted to Mr.. Mills.
When Mr. Mckinley began his speech
nearly every member was in his seat.

MAGUIRE NOT I'm THE SOUP,

---
The San Francisco Papers Giving Him
the Highest Compliments.
The best article that has thus far an
peared as comment ON the San Francisco
Examiners attack on John Mcguire is the
following from the California Dramatic
and Sporting News:
How eagerly the Examiner jumped on
John Mcguire the moment business took
him out of the city. By Jove, things are
in a nice condition when a man can't 60
from one town to another without having
the trip attributed to bankruptcy or some
equally absurd cause. How does the Ex-
aminer know but that Mr.. Mcguire had an
objectin closing the Grand Opera house?
anG what right has it or any other paper
TO make public the private affairs Of q busi-
ness man? This Journal knew for a con-
siderable time that Mr.. Mcguire was dis
satisfied with his subordinates and that it
was only q question of time when they
would be discharged. That he was right
in suspecting them Is evidenced by the
information contained In the Enquirer's
article, for no one but a man In his con
tidence could have supplied all the little
details that appeared there. The trouble
has been that John Mcguire surrendered
his business to men whose ability is capa-
bic of question and whose lack of integ-
rity ia well known. The scandals of the
Patti season existed before her arrival
and were continued when whenshe away.
If Mcguire was a. suspicious as he is
shrewd he would be one of the richest
managers in America today, but like all
honest men he can't believe those he
trusts to be %treacherous rogues until their
guilt is brought thoroughly home to him.
There are schemeIs here who would like
to see genial John In the soup; but they
will be disappointed.

TO DEFRAuD INDIANS,

A Deal on Foot to Cheat the lows As Out
of Their Claims Against the Govern
ment.
GUTHRIE, I. T., May 9.-The leading
chiefs of the Iowa tribe of Indians were
secretly conveyed to Wichita by a half
breed, John ,r.Hill, and a local attorney,
E. 8. Dodd. 1t is surmised that a deal is
on foot to bride OF drug the chiefs Of the
tribe into signing a contract with an
attorney whereby the whole tribe will
he literally sold out. The Indians have
no title to the lands which Dodd and
Hill seek to have them transfer, but the
tribe has q claim Of $3.50, 600 against the
government, growing out Of the pur-
chase Of the lands Of the tribe in Iowa
sixty years ago. The attorneys have dis
covered that there is an opportunity to
push this claim and gain a fee like that
Of Crawford in the Oklahoma purchase.
It is reported that the Sac and Fox
tribes r ready to take lands in
sevFalty if the government will pay
e1.25 per acre for their lands.

Chestnut Valley Ditch.

Geo. Coulson of ~. Clair says water was
to have been turned into the Chestnut val
ley ditch last week. This ditch will be a
wonderful benefit to that beautiful val
ley. About 10000 acres of rich land may
be irrigated from this ditch and thus
good crops are insured. This land If d.
vided among small farmers and worked
to its full capacity would supply q vast
amount Of grain, hay, etc. II this land
tons could be cut from every acre, and If
put in alfalfa q much larger crop of feed
could be secured.
The farmers of the Chestnut valley
should make q special effort to plant
sruit trees this spring, as it is we'll known
fruits grow to perfection in this val
ley. s

HIS LIFE AT STAKE.
Buchan's Examination Begins at Mfnne-
apolis-A Strong Effort Will he
Made in His Behalf.

Buchan's Examination Begins at Minne-
apoIis-A Strong Effort Will BE
Made in His Behalf.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 8.-The examina-
ton of Buchan for the murder of Ander-
son commenced at Minneapolis on Wed
nesday. The defendant is described as
looking pale and hollow-eyed and much
troubled on account of the difficulty he
has gotten into. The evidence offered the
first day was of but little consequence,
save that of ]. g. Hayward, the only
man known to have seen the whole
shooting. By the aid OF a chart he de-
scribed the whole affair. He had seen
Mrs. Anderson, her husband and Buchan
standing on the corner of Third avenue
and Fourth street before the shooting &C.
Cured. That was when he came up
Third avenue to his boarding house. He
saw them again wher he started back
down the avenue. He saw Anderson
hurrying after Buchan and tis wife.
When he had passed about 80 feet he
heard the first shot clear and distinct. 1t
must have been five seconds before the
next shot wat fred. Then there was a
c%latter, but 1t seemed to him he could
distinguish one shot as being io1der than
the other. He saw Buchan advance up
on Anderson, who retreated to the corner
of the building, then turned and ran to
the telegraph pole, where he turned and

ayes ST." g,
There was an exchange of glances and
a noddlng OF heads between Buchan's
friends when this testimony came out.
1t was plain that they thought Haywood's
testimony in regard to the similarity Of the
first and last shots was important to their
case. 1t tended to prove that Anderson
had fred the first and last shots. County
Attorney Jamison did not like this testi-
mony either.
Buchan is attended by his brother and
a strong effort is being made in his be-
half. Mrs. Anderson will testify In his
behalf, SO the only eye witnesses Of the
affair are on his side. The dying state
ment of Anderson is the strongest proof
against him.

Great Falls has reason to be proud of
the fine building stone that has been pro-
cured from quarries within a short dis

which has been made ready for the Glib

worthy. An entire front of such stone
would excite the admiration of builders
the country over. The demand for this
stone in other cities ought to be great.
