THE HISTORICAL MAGAZINE.

1t is pleasure to note the increased
size of Goidthpdite's Geographical
Magazine, and the evidence OF prosperity
il presents. The magazine is thorough
enough for servants and popular enough
for children, and we cannot imagine "a
more useful addition to the dry school
biographies. The current number con-
tains articles on the Mississippi ON Perry's
Expedition, New York Harbor, Mortality
on the Congo, the condition of the Blind
in Old Japan and a considerable variety
of others.

IN NOVEMBER.

The ruddy sunset lies
Banked along the west,
In hocks. with sweep and rise
The birds are going To rest.
The air clings and cools,
The reeds look cold
Standing above the pools
Like rods of beaten gold.
The Haunting golden rod
Has lost her worldly mood,
She's given herself to God
And taken nuns hood.
The wild and wanton horde
That kept the summer revel
Have taken the serge and cord
And given the slip TO the devil
The winters loose somewhere,
Gathering snow for fight;
From the feel of the air
think IL freeze tonight.

LOST IN THE SAND HILLS.

Two Children Miss Their Way-The Elder
Sister Found Dead After a Weeks Search
The Younger Barely Alive.
OMAHA, Neb., May 1S.-Last Sunday
week the two little daughters of John
Hammond, who lived near Thedfo rd,
Thomas county, one s and the other 4
years of age, went to visit their sister,
who lived about six miles north of that
town, and between 4 and 5 o'clock they
started home. The road led through
the sand hills and the children lost
their way and never reached home.
Their parents and the immediate neigh
bors searched the hills all night in vain.
Monday morning general alarm was
given and the citizens of Thedford and
the surrounding country turned out and
soon found where the children had
wandered from the path to gather flow
ers. The search was continued all
Monday until dark and the searchers
camped on the trail A relief party
went after provisions and couriers were
kept in communication with the search
ers all day.
Tuesday the searchers again went
over the dismal stretch of barren sands
and all day Wednesday the search went
on, and Thursday it was renewed, when
the party came to a place where the
younger child had lost one shoe and
could see where the older one had car
ried her little sister a short distance.
Thursday at noon the youngest child
was found at the foot of a high hill half
covered in the sand, where she had
fallen, completely exhausted The lit
tie one was unconscious and her tongue
was swollen so that it protruded from
her mouth She was soon restored,
however, and when asked where her
sister was she said, SISTER went on
home" The little one was nearly ff-
teen miles from the point where they
left the road to pick flowers.
Then the search went on until yester-
day afternoon, when the searchers
found the dead body of the older child
ten miles north of Dunning, Blaine
county, fully seventy-ive miles from
the place where the children lost their
waV.

without removing It from their backs.
The average load is nine packages, or
from 100 to 200 pounds, but 1 passed
a number of men carrying seventeen
packages and one had twenty-one. A
man, l was told, had a few years ago
brought an iron safe weighing four
hundred pounds for Mgr. Biet from
Ya-chCu to Ta-chien-lu in twenty-five
days. Old or decrepit people common
ly travel along this road borne on the
backs of porters. Many of the women
porters carried seven packages of tea,
nearly two hundred pounds, and chill
dren of FIVE and six trudged on behind
their parents with one or two. The
price paid for the work is twenty tael
cents (about twenty-five cents) a pack
age, and it takes about seventeen days
to make the trip from Ya-chou. So
far as my knowledge goes there are no
porters in any other part of the world
who carry such weights as these
Ya-chou tea-coolies; and strange as it
may appear, they are not very
muscular, and over half of them are
confirmed opium smokers.

BEHAVED LIKE A CAD.

The Care witch Showed His "Bringing up
in Temple and Was Hurt For 1t.
PARIS, May 19-The French embassy
at Toxic has telegraphed the official
details of the attack upon the care
witch. From these it appears that the
czarewitch's assailant was Il policeman
named Thunda, who had been eight
years in the service. The czarewitch
and his suit were leaving Otsu, having
just visited Buddhist temple.
Both the czarewitch and Prince
George went to the shrine with their
boots on and the chief priest on their
retiring complained to the Japanese
guards about this offense against the
national religion. The princes were
entering their carriage when Thunda,
who was standing guard, dealt the
czarewitch a blow with his sword.
Prince Georges return blow with his
stick threw Thunda several feet.
The policeman rose and made
another rush at the czarewitch. A
Japanese closed the front of the
carriage and another Japanese wrested
the sword from Thunda and cut him
down, inflicting a severe wound. The
chief priest with several guards ar
rested the man. The czarewitch's in
jury has already healed

The DALTON GANG.

Located at Deserted Raneh-Indian Po-
lice and VO lunteer Troops to Close In.
SAC AND Fox AGENCY, L T, May
19.-TussahOe, an Indian scout, has
just arrived with the report that the Dal-
ton boys, "Six Shooter Jack and the
persons concerned in the recent train
robbery at Wharton were at Boyon, a
deserted ranch headquarters about
twelve miles from the agency. He be-
longs to the posse of Deputy Hec
Thomas and comes for a larger force to
cut off the outlaws retreat.
Mountains Indian police and volun-
teers from Captain Hays troop Of
cavalry left Immediately for the scene.
As soon as they arrive they will close in
on the robbers and make short work Of
them.
The Indians on the reservation are
completely terrorized by this gang of
desperadoes. The first installment of
the payment for the Indian lands was
made on Saturday and it was for the
purpose of making haul on these pay
ments that the outlaws came into this
country and held up the train at
Wharton. Many of the Indians have
deposited their money with the traders,
who guard their safes night and day.
These desperadoes are the remnants
of the old Belle Star gang reorganized.
Most of them are known in the terri
tory as cut throats and desperate men.
For several days posses have been close
on their track-at one time so close as
to capture one of their saddle horses
and large amount of cartridges and it
is thought that now they are complete
ly surrounded.

SAILED SOUTH.
The Charleston Again in Pursuit Ct
the Itata.
THE LATTER WITH TWO DAYS START.
The Charleston May Overhaul Her shortly
and Then Again Sls Nay Not
EsmereIJa Remains at
Acapulco.

WAsUINGToN, May 19.-Just before
o'clock yesterday afternoon the navy
department received confirmation of
the report that the Charleston had
sailed southwark from Acapulco, leav-
ing the Esmerelda in port There was
no word of the Itata.
The presumption is that the Charles
tons commander was satisfied that the
Itata had passed Acapulco either before
she arrived or while she lay in port and
that she has resumed the long chase.
1t is estimated that the It, ia has been
steaming along at about seven knots an
hour and as she was ten days out last
Friday night she should at that time
have been just off Acapulco, where it is
reported she met the Esmerelda- As
she is a much smaller vessel than the
Esmerelda and burns very much less
coal, it is regarded as within the proba'
bilities that the latter vessel might
have supplied her with this necessary
article, which would account for the
strait the war ship is now in respect
ing another supply of coal
If it be true that the Itata was off
Acapulco Friday night she had two full
days start of the Charleston when
the latter started again in pursuit
This is about the same lead she
had when she started from San Diego,
so it does not appear that the Charles
ton is any nearer conclusion.
But if the two vessels now follow the
same course the Charleston steaming at
fourteen knots should come up with the
Itata by tonight. This event of
ton which is not founded upon
strong probability that the two vessels
are steering exactly the same course.
If the Charleston passes the Itata the
next port where they are likely to be
heard from is Panama, about 1000
miles from Acapulco, or Hayti, Peru,
still further down the coast. AS it is
the vessels have probably covered less
than half the distance to Iquique, the
nearest Chilian port.
A prominent bureau chief of the
navy department said that he believed
that the commander of the Charleston
would not hesitate to take the insurg-
ent vessel Itata even though he should
have to hay hands on her in Chilian
waters The law of nations would pre-
vent him from taking her in a neutral
port Should the Charleston's COM
mander catch up with the runaway
vessel within the marine league off
Chilli this officer said he thought the
Charleston's commander would seize
the Itata and let the courts decide the
question as to his right to do so.

4 New Race Forming.

There is forming in America at pres
snt new race, distinct from all others
on the earth. 1t is being made up of a
moiety of every race and nation in ex-
istence. We note the disappearance OF
blondes. 1t is true, they are going, for
the new race is going to be dark
haired race as pigmented people al
ways gain the ascendency where they
mingle equally with non-pigme2ted,
not because non-pigmented people are
less able to withstand disease than the
others, but for the same reason that if
you mix white and black the white
cannot preserve its purity. The new
Une is to be the largest race of the
earth, and will contain all that is good
and some that is bad, of all other races.
1t is to be a grand medley and the
American of the future will be the rep
.resentative man of the world. But we
are as yet just beginning to develop
into this race, which may not be dis
tinctive one before 1000 years. To
sum it all up in single statement, 1
would say that man is positively in
creasing in size, longevity and intelli-
gence.

Historic Necklace.

An empress necklace has been
creating a considerable sensation in
Madrid, both for its beauty and its
great value, as well as for its historic
associations. The necklace belonged
to Empress Eugenie, and was a present
from Ismail, the Viceroy of Egypt who
sent it to the Empress in 1869 on the
occasion of her visit to open the Suez
Canal. A few years ago all the crown
diamonds and jewels were put up at
auction by the republic. Among the
buyers was a jeweler from Madrid,
who bought the necklace because the
Empress Eugenie was a Spaniard by
birth. He has waited to display his
treasure until now, so that his neck
lace should not be cast into the shade
by the more splendid crown diamonds.
The necklace consists of great pearls
of singular beauty, and is priced at
SO, 900.

there was bone and sinew and stamina
enough in the granger-labor element to
warrant the formal baptism of a third
party and the placing of an independ-
ent presidential ticket in the field. The
enunciation of these views was re-
ceived with disapprobation and the
third party resolution went through
without dissenting voice.
The decided stand that has been
taken by the representatives Of indus
trial movements, in contradistinction
to the granger element, was largely re-
sponsible for this result At the gen.
eral caucus of representatives of most
of the organizations that will have del

plain talk was indulged in by President
Washburn, of the Northeastern
Industrial Alliance, and who voiced
the ideas of the labor elements
of the cities as apart from
the agriculturists. He told the eau
Gus that the industrial element
did not propose to be used as catspaws
to aid democratic success in the next
election. If a third party was to be
formed the south and southwestern del
egates would have to come in as we'll
as the northern ones. The industrial
elements east, west and northwest were
neither willing nor desirous to draw
votes out of the republican states, while
at the same time the pseudo alliance
men of the south were sticking to their
democratic allegiance and helping to
make the solid south more solid
than ever. Other speakers laid stress
upon the fact that the eastern
peoples movement was different from
that OF the graHgers, inasmuch rs its
organization was nodded after those of
the old political parties, and recognized
neither secret ritual, grips and pass
words. All this fummery, it was con-
tended. would have to be abolished if

personal representative OF Edward Bel
lany and his theories, Brown E. Gerry,
the nati~nal leader of the Christian So
cialists. and Rev. w. ID. Bliss also
argued on the same line. The Kansas
men. who had done all the listening,
then went into caucus and placed them
selves On record.

One of the important meetings con-

of labor and nationalists. There are

PULLMAN WILl.PUT UP.
A Case Of Interest to Tax Payers of
Dickinson County.

OlcklnSon county.
A case of interest to Dickinson
as we'll as a great many other counties
of the state was decided Nv days ago
in the supreme court ~ . United
States. By the decision ,:.o Pullman
Car Company will be compelled to pay
tax on each coach to every county
through which their coaches run.
Prior to 1887 the Pullman company
and the railroad companies running
through this county had a contract
by which the latter paid the taxes on
Pullman coaches the same as their own.
In 1887 the Pullman company issued
injunction proceedings against the diff
ferent county treasurers of the state,
restraining them from levying upon
the coaches for the payment of the tax.
The amount of money which has &C
crued in taxes and penalties in Dick
inson county since the treasurer was
enjoined amounts to several hundred
dollars. This amount the Pullman
company will now be compelled to pay,
The decision in the supreme court
was on a case brought from the state
of Pennsylvania.
