Capt. f. G. Fechet of Fort Yates was
Monday seen by Il TRIBUNE reporter and
asked for an interview, which he freely
gave. Captain Fechet was at Standing
Rock during the entire recent Indian
trouble and is as we'll informed as any Of
ticer of the army as to the condition of af-
fairs during the entire trouble. When
asked what he thought about the reports
that the Indians were liable to again make
trouble and rencw the hostilities OF last
winter, he said: "There is utterly no foull-
dation for such reports. There never has
been cause for fear and excitement among
the people from any demonstrations made
by the Indians Of Standing Rock. The
fears among the people to the north and
east was without substantial grounds. We
were in constant communication with all
points and settlements and had there at
any time been a disposition among the In
dams to pursue those old-time wal tactics,
the troops would have Dcrn on hand. The
people thought it strange that We kept our
movements quiet. Well. sir, an army Off
GER is like any other man or business firm
in that respect, and all that was not made
public related entirely to military affairs
and not to the trouble with the Indians.
Nothing was kept quiet thai would AVE
been OF advantage to the people. The gar
riSOn did not know what was intended to
be done, neither did the Indians. The
ghost dance was never INDUCED in by the
leading Sioux chiefs, and. in fact, only a
small percentage of the Sioux nation ever
participated. Sitting Bull was the main
hindrance to civilization among
the Indians: He would have
been killed long before he
was had it not been for Major McLaugh-
lin. With his death there was general re.
jUicing as, with the exception of Il very
few, they hated him. lie had a few fol
lowers and they kept up the ghost dance.
The others would go and look at them a
little while and then pass on, like the white
man n the salvation army. Gaul has
much influence probably more thar any
living CHIEF among his people. He was
man do same thing But he never joined
them. He did not believe in it. At the
time Sitting Bull was killed all the chiefs
that were hostile were also killed. Not
one OF them escaped and not many were
sorry for their death.
The reports that there is liable to be
trouble this spring are entirely without
lOuIllldliOu. L Gail ilOt COIutulu Ill 700
severe tones people who will circulate
such a report. The Indians do not want
war, they want civilization. have snent
many years among them and | know their
actions, and there is not the slightest doubt
in my mind but the Indians will remain
quiet and content, now that the old probe
has been removed. and the wound will be
allowed to heal. In regard to the burial of
Sitting Bull: He is buried in the military
cemetery at Fort Yates. If any one
doubts it who has proper authority they
can be convinced by digging up the coffin
aud finding the remains. The talk about
museum is all wind, kand his body was
never mutilated III n manner except the
wounds he received at time OF his death.

heavier and less %combustible than kero-
sene. Naptha is a very dangerous explo-
sive. An excess of naptha in kerosene
renders the Kerosene dangerous. An ex-
cess of paraftine makes the kerosene heavy
and less combustible.
AS naptha and parafine lave less com
mercial value than kerosene, the induce
mentS of the retinerS is to retain as much
OF them III the kerosene as possible.
The statutes of Iowa demand that so
much of the naptha shall be removed that
oil, when heated to the temperature of 105
degrees Fahrenheit, will not throw off a
vapor which will ignite when in contact
with a flame or a lighted match. That is
what Is termed The flashing point. Extern
sive observation and experiment have de
monstrated that this standard will give
satisfactory results for illumination pur-
poses, and be safe for use in ordinary
lamps. 1t would not, however, be safe for
kindling fires in the kitchen stove. No
oil having a flashing point below 1O5 de-
grees can be lawfully sold or used for
Illuminating purposes in this state.
The flashing point should not be con-
founded with the burning point, or fire
test, which signifies that degree of tenn
peraturr or heat at which Oil placed in an
open vessel will ignite and burn without
a WICK. The hre test is not recognized by the
Iowa statute, and has little or no value
as determining the actual quality of the
oil. Retail dealers should especially bear
this IN mind. Rriucrs and tank line
companies frequently brand oil $50 de-
grers fire test" "hc:diight LIS Degrees or
trade marks which have no relation what
ever. under the law, to the actual quality
of the Oil. The brand of an Iowa in.
sptctor, indicating the flashing point, is
to be deemed the actual quality and stand
ard of the OIL.
The tendency of retail dealers is to pur-
chase Oil having a hugh flashing point,
presumably on the theory that if oil hav-
ing a flashing point Of l05 degrees is safe,
that Of 1876 degrees is so much safer,
Theoretically that is true, but the higher
the flashing point the denser and heavier
the OIL. Heavy oil congrals more or less
in colder weather, will not rise freely,
hence there is imperfect combustion.
There is a limit to capillary attraction
Heavy oil is also more liable to clog the
wick tube. Oil having a flashing point OF
los to ITO degrees will give better illumi'
nation, burn trerr. and with greater salts.
faction in ordinary lamps, than an oil with
a flashing point of l20 or 125 degrees.

Coal Oil and Its Int pection.

The Iowa state board of health, in a cir
cular recently issued, has given some val
liable information as to the composition of
coal oil, the necessity for its careful in
spection IL the requirements Of the law
in relation thereto. The suggestions made
by the toard in reference to the different
qualities of oil, trade marks, etc, are wor.
thy of the close attention of the public and
of those who include this article as a part
of their stock in trade. The following tx
tracts are made from the above mentioned
circular:
Kerosene may be said to be the middle
production of petroleum, the up
per being several volatile hydro
carbOnS. known under the gen
eral term of "naptha," q highly intlamma-
Bile substance: and the lower, OF parafine,

wonderful to relate, to-day approves of
and demands a good track, and in every
way the horse interests are on the boom.
Among those most interested are Ed.
Wentworth, who has held sthe reins over
many a good II and who knows a horse
when he sees one. Ed. is now teaching a
very promising son of II. B.. his pace, and
before another winters snow flies his
youngsters will lave a good mark. He has
some good colts by II. B. S010 that look
n act we'll; one dam by Exchange, that is
a trOtter sure.
James Mcdonald rides behind Cyclone,a
son of Island Messenger, who was by
Rysdyk's Hamblctonian. Cyclone is a
powerful bay with black points and a
stride that will put him in the 2:3O class if
we'll handled this season.
T. w. Griffin owns another by the same
sire, a splendid specimen of the equine
race.
In all North Dakota there is nonc more
fond of a good horse than Austin Logan,
who can he seen most every day giving
behind Billy Knox. Billy is as handsome
as a bird, sired by King William, dam
young Mapey Blaine.
Elliott Barnes is a young enthusiast who
owns a beautiful standard mare and sew
eral other good ones. Mr.. Barnes has
started right and will be heard from in the
future.
Scott Mclean drives a good one. DR..
Porter has recently brought in a handsome
one. He (not the doctor) is black as Il
coal, can pace like a whirlwind and the
boys are quite shy of him.
Or. Bentley has another plucky, rapid
side wheeler, and he and DR.. Fraser each
w several good ones of their own raising.
DR.. kcndrick OWnsa very stylish bay geld
ing with splendid action. Captain Braith-
waite owns a very tl]eet-footed mare, and
from her has several colts as handsome as
pictures. Mayor Baker, with his ambi.
tiOus chestnut mare and Connolly road
wagon, is the envy of every hOrseman. and
his turnout will compare favorably with
any in the state. You can always
find the mayor up with the pro
cession. We have a number of
good horsemen Interested in fast ones
and don't be surprised if. in the near flu
turc, you see in your circuit al occasional
winner ha'ling from North Dakota.

Friends.

1T is the c'lict of the world,' said the
man-"'lnl.sh and the world laughs with
you; weep and you weep alonc.' Friends
arc many when the purse is long, but when
care and ai,'iction come-ah, how is it that
| should know this sad truth, thai in such
times as these friends are indeed few! The
loyalty of friendship is something l have
long cpn>rcrlted in my inmost heart of
hearts. One should be free with all DOS
sessions, but should be misery Of his
friends. Make friends us you tread life's
earlier path. Keep constantly terrifying
your stock of friends, or the latter will
soon pass from you. The friends of our
youth are no doubt the best Of all; endur-
ing through life without thought or need
of change. AS Tlackeray said, we are
SO much alone in thisw world; you who have
anything to love hold that friend to your
heart-and thank Godn"-Dctroit FREQ

Dickinson Dots,

Spring has come again, the snow is gone
and. by tie way, your big snow of last
Sunday did not visit us at all. Cattle,
horses and sheep have come through the
winter in good condition and without any
loss, which can fairly be attribted to the
weather.
Charles Hull, committed to jail here OH a
charge of horse stealing, and Joe Cole
gan, on a charge of burglary, who made
their escape last Monday evening, have
both been caught and returned to their old
quarters here. GCnllegan was captured on
Tuesday night at Belticld by Deputy Sher-
III Lucus. LucuS had some reason to tlink
that one or both of the runaways had shell
tered at the house Of John Boyd at that
village. Boyd is also in custody, charged
with assisting Hull in the horse, stealing
business. Lucus had a watch set ON BoyG'>
house. The runawayS were not there, but,
while the watch was there, Joe Cullegan
came and walked, in the darkness, into the
hands of his captnrs.
Hull, after his escape, went east and at
Gladstone took refuge in tie Methodist
church. There he built a fire. On Tues.
day the preacher noticed smoke coming
from the chimney, which led to an investi-
gatlOl. He found Hull there, and, think
ing that he was only Il tramp, rOuted him
out; but, as the description tailed with the
escaned prisoner, Deputy Spence was mott
he'd by wire. Spence Immediately started
IN pursuit and caught the fellow asleep in
the vacant house OF Benjamin Webster,
near Taylor, yesterday.

A Change of Venue.


Before 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
SHIRLEY charged with selling Intoxicating
liquors, a large crowd had gathered at the
city hall, the place where the trial was to
be held. Justice Fort was on hand and
opened court a few minutes after 2 o'clock.
States Attorney Register, in opening the
case, stated that the states main and most
important witness, Joseph RpbidOu, was
not in the city. He said he had seen Mr..
Robidou and he had stated to him that he
was intending to haul hay and would prob
ably go into the country on the day of
the trial, but that he would be in the city
at noon. SO for he had been unable to find
him. MIR. Register said there had been no
subpoena issued for 1tobidou to appear to-
day but he was under bonds to appear in
the ROberts-White trial and he thought
that sufficient to keep him in the city dur
ing this trial. He then gave the sheriff a
list OF suDpOenaS to execute for witnesses.
At this point Mr.. Philbrick, attorney for
ent pursuant to the adjourned trial of
Monday last and he moved the case pro-
coed.
The states attorney instructed the sheriff
to subpoena the list of witnesses he had
given him, but before the sheriff had time
to execute the order Mr.. Philbrick pre-
sented all affidavit from Mr.. Shibley ask
ing for a change of venue. This affidavit
was merely the regular statutary form
stating that for reasons of prejudice and
other complications he did not think he
would receive a fair and impartial trial at
the hands Of Justice Fort.
A question here arose as to whom the
nhanUn SInn11 1n tn1yn,, To MD q ftnr ar,,
siderable discussion among the attorneys it
was decided Justice Tyler was the nearest
court and according to law the case must
go to him. Justice Fort granted the
change and the case will be tried before
Justice Tyler next Monday afternoon.
