WEsr CHESTER. Dec. ls.-Howard CuD-
ningham related in this place this morning
an experience which happily does not oilen
fall 10 the lot Of boys in this county. On
last Tuesday be was returuing from school
in East Bradford 10 bis farna home in the
same township. and Just as be entered a
deep cut in the public road. about midway
between The school house and his home, a
rickesy Dearborn. drawn by two horses and
occupied by theree yillainous looking men,
entered at the other end Of the passageway.
Upon their meeting, two ofthe men leaped
from the vehicle and roughly taking hold
of young Cunningham they threw him to
the ground and in 3 twinkling gagged him
to prevent his giving an alarm. Then they
bound his legs and arms and rifled bis pock-
cts of all their contents. This accomplished
they threw him into the wagon and drove
off at as rapid gait as the horses were ca
pable of making.
Night came on, but the wagon did not
stop, and the boy was unable TO tell in what
direction they were travelling. Arriving at
8 grove about O'Clock the men decided TO
stop there for the balance Of the night. The
horses we're unhitched and fed. and after 3
roughly prepared meal the three men drank
large quantity Of whiskey and crept into
the wagon to sleep.
The lateness Of the hour, coupled with
the telling effects of the copious draughts OF
liquor, soon had the effect of putting the
ruffians TO sleep, and when their boy captive
was assured that all was safe be resorted 10
the use Of his knife, which they had neg
lecied to deprive him Of and, severing the
cords which bound his limbs, soon removed
the gag from his mouth and in another mo-
meBt was fleeing across the fields.
He sought shelter in a woods and later
entered q village, which be described was
Avondale point some dozen miles from the
point Of his capture. Here be told his
story and enlisted friends in his behalf, who
gave him assistance and helped him to 9
relatives home, few miles distant. From
there he was brought to this borough, and
soon after was restored to his home in East

waIlaoe and krebs Assign.

Ex- Senator William A. Wallace, Of Clear
field, on Monday Of last week, made an
assignment for the benefit Of his creditors.
The reasons given are excessive tightening
in the money market and inability to obtain
money to meet obligations The Clearfeld
County Bank, which was exclusively under
the control Of Mr.. Wallace and now closes
its doors, is private institution. The bank,
which was formerly State institution, had
been directed to wind up the old business,
and did collection and exchange business
The depositors have been secured by a judg-
ment bond and mortgage binding valuable
coal interests at and near Houtzdale, Clear
field county. The whole Indebtedness Of
Mr.. Wallace is estimated at $3.50, 200. David
L. Krebs, President Judge of Clearfield
county, and & sonin-law Of Mr. Wallace,
has also made an assignment. He is in
debted to various parties for borrowed mon
ey to the extent of $4,000. Wallace had
endorsed his notes, and when the latter
made an assignment, Judge Krebs was forced
TO do likewise

THE public has not yet fully realized
the importance Of reciprocity with the
American Republics. II may be describ-
ed in few words as the practical Teali-
cation Of what the Democrats have been
confusedly dreaming about for the past
-four or five years With the reciprocity
proposed by Secretary Blaine the country
would have about all the tree trade it
could stand and continue TO prosper. Il
is absurd 10 talk Of free trade with Eu-
rope, because, even were the United
States to adopt such a ruinous policy,
there could be no free tra le. Americans
could remit duties and food their mar
kets with foreign fabrics, thereby de-
stroying home industries, hut there
would be no response from the other
side.
With the exception OF Great Britain,
every nation on the other side Of the At
lantic has protective tariff, and each
one Of them is al this very moment ma
turing plans for placing heavier duties
upon foreign goods, while England, un-
der the fiction of sanitary regulations,
excludes from her markets the very pro-
ducts which this country can supply in
abundance. There il no basis for reci-
procity between as and Europe, except to
very limited extent, and hence free
trade, 50 far as the latter is regarded, is
q delusion and snare. But with the
republics TO the south Of US it is alto

Pension Money.


The Pittsburgh Commercial Ga-eiie ofTues-
day has this to say concerning pension pay
ments
There is great deal of money in the coun-
try that finds its way into the hands of the
boarding classes-money that is not paid
out again for food, clothing and tie oraina-
ry expenses ofliving, but carefully deposit
ed in some savings bank OF slowed away in
the proverbial ''old stocking" Secretary
Noble states fact which is attested by the
common experience Of all who are familiar
with the pensioners as a class, that the
money which they receive from the govern
meat is, for the most part, almost imme-
diately turned into the channels of circuls-
ton. AS the Secretary expresses il. the
SlOOO00.OO0 disbursed by the Pension Bu-
rsau last year was a double blessing-bless-
ing the soldiers who received ii and the nu-
merous persons to whom it was paid, in
turn, by them.
While this would be no argument in ia
vor OF extrayagant pensions, or allowances
to unworthy persons, it is a fact which goes
to show that The pension system does not
drain the country of its currency or send
millions Of dollars in coin to foreign coun-
tries. The .pensioner is, as a rule, in need
Of every dollar he gets, and before the quar-
ter is ended his whole income from this
source is in the hands Of those TO whom be
was indebted. or has been expended TO sup
ply some necessary want. Ifthe Govern
ment is engaged in paying out money which
in any way tends to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, it is certainly not true
OF the pension system. Ifall paid as freely
as the old pensioners, there would be less
occasion for stringency in the money market.

Amending the Game Laws.

A determined effort will be made at the
coming session Of the legislature to have the
game laws OF the state amended in certain
particulars. Complaints are constantly COM
ng from farmers in all sect Jns of the state
as to the lawlessness and Tecklessness dis
played by men aud boys who are In search
OF game Crops are destroyed aud it very
frequently happens that the domestic fowls
belonging TO a farmer are killed aud carried
Of. As a rule this sort of work is done by
the pot-hunter but there are exceptions and
it is not an unusual thing for a man who
should be above doing such thing to wan
tonly xiii farmers domestic fowls.
The farmers are growing tired of this sort
of thing and they will endeavor to have the
legislature pass much more stringent law
tn n is now in force. Il has been suggested
that it would be good idea to apply the
special York Dunty law to the whole state
This law MAKES il unlawful for any person
to hunt on inclosed OF cultivated lands with
out first Obtaining consent from the owner
or tenant, the penalty being fine Of from
five 10 twenty dollars and cost of prosecu-
ton or imprisonment forten days. Entrance
upon the land with gun or dogs is taken
to be sufficient evidence that the trespasser
is engaged in hunting Another suggestion
is that each sportsmen be required to pay for
a bunting license as duck hunters on the
Chesapeake bay have to do in Maryland. If
a law of this sort were passed and every
person found hunting without license
were severely punished it might have good
effect.
Something will have 10 be done and it is
not improbable that either or both OF the
above suggestions may be acted upon by the
next Legislature.

THr death Of Sitting Bull is an incl
dent the effect Of which it is difficult to
estimate. There are many who deride his
reputation as a warrior, many who at
tribute 10 him no higher rank than that
Of half-savage demagogue, but no one
who has paid any attention to current
history can deny that his power over the
Indian mind was very great. We are
inclined TO think that he could do more
10 excite or to calm the passions of his
countrymen than any other Indian with
whom the present generation has had to
deal. and We are inclined TO think also
that he has bad more TO do with creating
the present disturbed condition of affairs
than any other Indian chief.
Mary c. Collins, missionary agent,
writing from Fort Yates, y. d., to the
Adraacs. describes Sitting Bull as saving
to her: They (the United States Gov
ernmentA did not regard my wishes in
selling the land and opening the reserva-
tion. viii be chief. can only be chief
by keeping the people savage If they
become civilized shall go down" This
policy has dominated every act of Sitting
Bull since he rose from an obscure posi-
ton as medicine man. He has been
the constant foe Of Indian civilization.
Abler men than he may have effected
the warlike organization which the Gov
eminent has Suppressed at great cost Of
life and money, but he excited those
ADLER minds to action. He was a perfect
political priest, using the terrors and
promises Of an unseen world TO excite
his hslf-ssvage compatriots TO actions
that administered solely to his own tenn
poral welfare. Whether he was the most
able Of the Indian chiefs is not worth
discussion he was the most dangerous.
Il way he that by his death the chief
provoker Of superstitious zeal is removed,
but il also may be that his mantle has
fallen upon a younger man. 1t will be
easier for a new medicine chief TO attain
eminence while a superstitious frenzy
possesses the souls Of the tribes than in a
time Of apathy begotten of plenty of beef
and blankets. But this one lesson should
be learned from the life of Sitting Bull
no new prophet or priest should be al
lowed 10 attain such power as he reached
TO. The end Of this war should be the
end Of ghost dances, and it should be
the beginning of the end Of all medicine
chiefs. 1t will be in the power of the
United States Government TO make il 80.

The inspection of Cattle.

Prom the Harrisburg Patriot.
One of the measures that in all probabili-
ty will receive attention at the coming ses-
sion OF the legislature is bill providing for
the inspection Of cattle, dead and alive, that
are intended f5r food. This is a very i'm
portant matter and one that should be given
the fullest consideration by the lawmakers.
It has been shown by the Investigations
of DR.. Heron, an English physician and a
friend Of Professor Koch. that consumption
is frequently communicated to human be-
ings through the flesh Of animals consumed
for food and especially through the milk Of
COWS Dr. Heron has also shown that
where there is inspection Of the food this
communication Of the disease can be pre-
vented. Il is well known that cattle are pc
culiary liable TO be affected by tuberculosis
and where there is no inspection Of the ami
mails it is undoubtedly the case that many
animals SO affected are used for food. II is,
Of course, impossible to form any estimate
OF the number of human beings who become
affected with tuberculosis through this cause
but there can be no doubt that the number
is very large.
The inspection Of cattle and meat used rs
food comes within the power of the State
anG as it is matter Of so much importance,
the health Of the citizens being exposed TO
great risks, The State should make use Of
that power. 1t is 10 be hoped that the legis-
lature at its coming session will do some.
thing in this direction.
