An Interpreters Ingenuity.



A pretty good story is told of a certain
well known and respected missionary on
the reservation who, after he had been iu
charge OF the schools a few months, had
a desire to know il the work he had been
doing was satisfactory to the chiefs OF the
tribe. Accordingly, one pleasant day the
reverend gentleman approached Chief
Washable who, with his interpreter, had
strolled into the agency. After a lew
questions and answers through the inter
prefer he found that the Indians were
well pleased with the new state of ufa;rs
and thought that educational and spirit
ual matters were progressing most tayora
bly,.
And now" said the missionary to the
interpreter, please ask Chief Washakie
how his people like me pcrsunsly
Washakie. on being asked the question.
instructed his interpreter to say that h.s
people liked the missionary, rs a man,
very much indeed. and hoped h would
remain upon the reservation many moons.
The interpreter here he.itated a Lrt'o.
being at a loss to express the word very
in our language. But finally a happy
solution OF the difficulty seemed to strike
him and he replied: THE great chief
iDstructs me to say that we all like you,
as a man, dam good, heap dam good, and
hope" etc.
1t is said the re yerend missionary tells
this as a good joke upon himself. and has
had many a laugh over 1t.

QF BEE HIVE ZANE.
r.. N. Baxter Meets with "A Setback IN
Omaha.

X. N. Baxter, who played a star en-
gagement here with what he called his
Bee Hive store, is nov living quietly in a
Nebraska town, but is not at present en-
gagged in any business. Baxter is a
granger looking man, with great breadth
OF beam, square shoulders, a forehead
which slopes abruptly to his eyebrows,
and wears a full beard. He is a man for
whom domestic life has no tenors. Be-
fore he came here he had buried his
fourth wife. and was industriously court
ing a young Omaha girl, with the object
of making her the fifth. Ii was
this circumstance that got him
INTO trouble. Among the creditors
who were most badly stuck BY Bakers
peculiar business methods were several
Omaha wholesale dealer. The debts are
scarcely considered to be worth par but
fortunately for them and unfortunately
for Baxter the latter took it into his head
to visit Omaha. He could not resist the
temptation of seeing the girl he proposed
to make his wife. 10 taking her to the
theater one night he was recognized by
one of his creditors. who followed him
up. Baxter, it is said. was placed under
arrest and owing to the pressure brought
to bear on him was forced to disgorge a
good proportion of his ili.gutteu wealth to
every wholesale creditor in the town.
Then he was let go.
1t is said, however, hat since this adj
venture his best girl has become suspicious
of him, and it looks as though this would
result 10 a rupture OF their engagement.
The girl thinks she has been disgraced
and Baxter is suffering under the double
affection of loss of money aud probable
loss of helpmeet No. 5. He is a man
who will probably not repine, for there
are several unmarried women still left on
the continent, and Baxter is yet ambitious.

RAwLINs NOTES


Special Correspondence.
RAwLINs, Feb. lO.-Frank Thompson,
gang boss at the Union Pacific shops, was
married last evening to Miss Nina Rein
deau. The ceremony was performed at
the residence OF l.. G. Kelly, Esq, by
Rev. Mr.. Wotring, in the presence of a
lew invited friends. After the ceremony
an elegant supper was served, under the
direction of Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Thos.
Reid, sisters of the happy bridegroom.
The presents were numerous and costly,
and many and hearty were the congratu-
lations showered on the happy couple.

DR.. L. G. Ricketts, OF Carbon paid
Rawlins a visit last week. The doctor has
fully recovered from his recent accident,
and is able to walk without the assistance
OF a cane.
The city authorities are advertising for
bids for putting in a water system. 1t is
to be earnestly prayed for that they will
be successful in getting some kind OF a bid
or offer that will justify them in going
ahead and having a system of water
works erected. The lack of sufficient
water supply has been the worst draw
back to Rawlins' success. There are a
number of our citizens who would build
residences at once if there was some GER
tainty of having any water.

There is a great nance for old maids in
the Argentine Republic" remarked Henri
Bosquet, of Buenos Ayres. There are
about sixteen men to one woman there,
and the unmarried males are more than
anxious TO secure wives. This is especially
true Of my city. When a new woman as
we call the welcome arrival, comes to town
about fifty men make a wild effort to Sc.
cure her. 1t is quite an interesting con-
test, and the one who captures the prize is
looked upon as something of a hero.
The local papers write columns about it,
and about everybody in the city turns out
to the wedding. 1t doesn't matter much
about the woman's G or looks; she is re
ceived with open arms and married off in q
jihy to some real nice man. The woman
will have about fifty good looking suitors
to pick from, so she need not be anxious
about not finding the kind of a man she
wants. The love making doesn't last long,
however. Three days is the usual limit

STOPPED BY A SAND STORM
Remarkable Experience of a West
Bound Burlington Tram.

ADNhfNA @NfNHsI
j. II. Burns, conductor of Burlington
train No. ;, which was due Sunday
morning at : o'clock and did not arrive
until Monday on account of the biz.
card Of Saturday night, relates the fol.
lowing story OF his experience: I'VE
were running at good speed and
were on time until We got to Akron.
Before We reached that point it
had begun to get so devilish cold that
one nearly iroze in going from one car
to another, and soon the wind began
bowling a gale, carrying with il sand and
snow. The snow did not amount to
much and in itself would not have been
sufficient to hinder us from going ahead,
but when we got to Akron we found the
sand piled up on the track so deep that
the engine could not bulge an inch. 1t
was mixed with snow and was frozen
on the track as hard as cement. The
superintendenf ordered out EuuS
of men to shovel it off, but 1t was
SO bitterly cold and the sand cut their
faces so that they had to give it up. l
never experienced any weather like it in
my life before. We found it was useless
to try to proceed until the wind quit blow
ing, and made everything as snug as pos.
sible under the circumstances. We had
plenty of coal and food and none of the
passengers were the least bit alarmed.

BUILDING FORT CROOK.
Opinions Differ as TO What Sort Of "A
Post Gan be Put Up.
lomaha world-Herald.

There is some doubt among army
officers as to whether the increase of the
appropriation from 5000, 900 to $500. 900
for Fort Crook, the new Fort Omaha,
will build such a post as the government
requires. There is 1884, 900 left from the
original 5000, 900 alter paying for the site
and this with the $500, 900 additional will
make $434,OOO available for construction.
That is, provided the bill pushed through
the house by Mr.. Connell passes the
senate, of which there is no doubt. The
original estimate and hat on which the
existing plans are drawn is a total ex-
penditure Of $50. 600. The officer. differ
in opinion as to whether a suitable post
can be built for $434, 900. The bill is SO
framed that the construction of the post
cannot be begun on any plan that
cannot be completed without a further
appropriation.

There are circumstances that make 1t
seem likely that the cat in England is a
foreign importation. The kings cat was
called ''the keeper Of the royal granary."
The old Welsh laws provided II curious
penalty to be paid by the one who should
kill this cat of the king. The offender was
to pay as much corn as would cover the
cats body when held up by the tail. This
goes to show that cats were rare and had
a market value. Exchange.

The Laramie Republican and Boomer
au0 contain full details of an attempt to
kill William Wittingham, foreman of the
Fleming rauch,of the Douglas william Sar-
toai's company, by Rufus Robson, a
drunken range rider. Robson had in
truded while drunk, in Wittingham's bed
room, and had been ordered out. After
WittinRham retired Robson again en-
tered his room, this time armed with a
big revolver. He placed the muzzle
against the head of the sleeping man and
fred. Fortunately the gun was held too
high and the shot produced but 4 scalp
wound. Robson seemed possessed
with the spirit ola demon. With his re-
volver in hand he stood of the other en-
ployes, and when Wittingham regained
consciousness made him rise mp or lie
down as he commanded, threatening
with each order to kill him. He kept
