Acting Governor Laughton has received a
dispatch from the county commissioners
Of Okongan county from Connolly setting
forth that on Thursday night one OF tile
Indians implicated in the murder Of
Freighter Cole was taken from the jail
and lynched. The telegram also stated
that n Catholic priest had warned the sell
tiers that indignation ran high among the
Okonogan Indians, who had held four
councils and it was likely they would go
on the warpath. The officers there have
asked for 800 stands Of arms aud amuni-
tion TO arm the settlers. The governor de-
cided to send 200 stands. He requested
Brig Gen. Curry, Of Spokane Falls, to $40
that they were delivered 10 the county
commissioners, cautioning them to avert
bloodshed unless absolutely necessary to
preserve the peace.

Perils of City Kite Flying.

Iwonder what the boy who reels OF q
thousand feet of kite string across the
meadows and stubble fields would think
of the New York boy who must depend
upon the tenement house roof and risk the
network of wires Immediately overhead or
90 without kite.
With the first symptoms of the kite sea-
son, that sets in and closes by some subtle
understanding only within the range OF
boyhood's scomprehension,t the NewYork boy
slyly ascends to the gravel amid the chin
ney pots and clotheslines and telegraph,
telephone and the deadly electric lighting
wires and unfurls his paper banner to the
breeze. He may have but few yards or
string and a few square yards OF surface
from which to operate, but il he doesn't {
fall off the roof, tumble down the airshate,
or get struck by lightning, or lose his kite
among the wires or get spanked for going
on the roof, he generally goes 10 bed salts

Unfortunately some one OF these mis-
fortunes is often attendant upon city kite

fatalities and the wires Of the metropolis

Some Familiar onotations,

Walpole, the prime minister of the
Georges, is misquoted in the expression,
'An men have their price" He never
said so, and entertained no such narrow
views Of mankind. He was referring to
certain persons, and said, "All these
men have their price. Money is
the root of all evil" is another misquoted
quotation, and wide deviation from
the truth. 1.-The love of money is the
root of all evil" Is the correct quotation.
"Love me little, love me long" is a
household phrase sometimes supposed to
have originated with Charles Reade, be-
cause he wrote novel 10y that name.
Those who are familiar with the poets
know that the expression originated
with Christopher Marlowe, and is found
in his jew of Malta" 1t was after

Specifically the query applies more to

to those who come from the Land Of the

When cornered the jaguar is as danger
Gus an animal to tackle as a Rocky noun

of an English paper describes desperate
fight between man and jaguar, which
recently took place on the Demerara river.
The hero of the combat, a black, named
Lally Davidson, a farmer, was out with
his dog, which reused a jaguar from its
lair. The ferocious animal made tracks
for the thick scrub, followed by Davidson
and his dog. Being closely pressed the

it, wounding it in the head. This made
the animal descend, and again he dlved
into the bush, pursued by Davidson. The

him bodily into drain full Of water.

Take it all in all it is a queer and COM

They are industrious, and so far as liquor
is concerned sober. But on their shoul-

despise the foreign devils" Is shown by
the recent uprisings and massacres of mis-
sionaries in China, for which no adequate
reparation has been offered. Miss Leoni

from the Flowery Kingdom before turbu-
lence eliminated in murder, says;
During our trip we were insulted at

say we were harassed by Cinnamon when

the whites from massacre. The feeling
against the whites is stronger than ever
before. 1t has been growing in the last
year, and there is no sign that the govern
ment cares to change matters. The lower
classes did not attempt to conceal their
hatred, and actually spat at US. Our es-
corts did not dare strike them down, fear
ing that the mob would take our lives.
That we took no notice of them seemed to
cause the bolder ones to become more reck-
less, and they pelted US with stones. OF
course we complained to the authorities,
but the only satisfaction we got was their
declaration that the attacking party were
bad coolies" CEPHAs De VERDE.
