A Honeymoon Alone.

WEDDING tours are expensive affairs. It
sounds like treason, but the honeymoon
usually costs good deal more than it is worth.
young Pittsburger who fell into matrimony
the other day hit upon novel plan to reduce
the expenses Of the wedding trip. His BRIDE
to-be and he before the wedding day came
around talked as most young lovers do of all
the places they would visit during the honey
moon. They drew up a new itinerary every
evening and altered 1t the next night-as others
in the same delightful state of imbecility have
done.
But as the fateful day drew near the young
man fell to counting his pile. and estimating
how much it would cost to 60 to Niagara Falls,
and to New York City, and the rest of the
places that had figured in loves young dream.
Then he footed up the cost of furnishing
little home, and no matter how he tried to keep
the figures down. pairing of a dollar or two
from table here, and a carpet there, and
economizing on plates and other prosaic things
which lovers very seldom think of at all till
the collector rings the bell and will not go
away without that little amount-no matter
how he clipped and Topped and pinched,
the total expenditure for honeymoon and
the home at the end of 1t covered all the assets.
and Tapped over into the bargain. This would
never do, he thought-and then he went on
thinking The boldest fact of all that stared
him In the face was the cruel indifference Of
the railroad companies and hotel proprietors to
the needs of the newly married. Though a
minister or magistrate declare two people to
be one, the railroads and the hotels insist upon
charging for two. Contemplation Of this cruel
condition led the bridegroom-to-be to solution
of the problem.
When next he visited his beloved he spread
the minutes of his self-communion before her
and boldly suggested that she should take the
tour they had planned alone, while he re-
manned behind to prepare the home. She de-
INJURED at first warmly. But he persisted that
she needed the change of air and scene-she
was hardworking girl-that he did not She
had set her heart upon the trip and she should
have it. At last she gave in. They were mar
ried and she went to Niagara and the other
plaees alone.
They belonged to sphere where Mrs. Or undy
is not power, and very few of their friends to
this day know the unique character OF their
honeymoon. It actually occurred as has been
told-in Pittsburg. too, and not a great while
ago. either.

The proposition to allow our public school

leave of absence for one year on half-pay, is
very generous, indeed. How would it work in

A little child about years old. daughter
of Joseph Spencer. of La Grande, was lost in
the mountains Saturday evening and remained
out in the woods all night and until late Sun
day evening. The parents we're visiting friends
who live out in the mountains south of La

at the timber and the child followed un-

had been taken along.
When its absence was discovered, search was
made and continued all night. and the next

hills without avail until late in the evening
when the little one was discovered standing
quietly under a tree. 1t at once asked for some

KILLED BY INDIANS.

Northern ~Cheyennes.
Representative Carter, Of Montana, has
received a telegram from Hon. ice Scott,
OF Miles City. announcing that q Mr.. Fer
eusop, a prominent stock rails near the
Northern Cheyenne Indian gency had
besn killed by the Indians; that the Indians
we're apprehensive Of arrest aud were get.
ting ready to go on the war-path; settlers
were leaving the vicinity and seeking
refuge in the distant towns. Mr.. Scott
asked that the war department furnish
troops to protect protest property and life
and to arrest the guilty Indians. Repre-
sentative Carter and Senator Sanders went
to the war department and laid the case
before the secretary and urged
that troops be sent Immediately from Gus
ter and Keogh 10 the reservation. The
secretary promised to give the matter his
early attention. There has been i'll .feeling
between settlers and Indians for years.
These Indians were once removed to In
dian territory, but cut loose in 1888 and
went across country to their old reserva.
ton, where they were located by executive
order. During their absence white settlers
went on the reservation, and have never
removed, and the title is still in dispute.
Carter has been urging the Indian bureau
to take some steps toward tue removal of
the Indians OF take some decisive action in
the case. It is expected that some out.
rage would follow the present relations.
which would spur the government to take
some. action. The Indian bureau is now
in correspondence with the war depart
ment in reference to the northern Chey-
ennes and the protection Of people living
near the reservation.

temperance element and others opposed to
the measure for various reasons, giving the
impression that the bill had few il n
friends outside Of the ministry and it's

strengthened by the elaborate preparations
which have been making Tor some time for

in the events of that calamitous night in
Torres straits. Miss Lacy says she was
sitting in the saloon writing q letter,
the other ladies being practicing for a
concert, when, without q moments
warning, they heard q loud grating
sound, the ship rocked violently, and a
chorus of confused noises broke out on
deck. Miss Lacy rushed on deck, and
already the ship was sinking. @Going

from q raft, rudely and hastily con-

availed herself of this temporary refuge,
and remained on the raft until noon
