The question OF abOllshlng the wolf
bounties, which has been brought up by a

has for the past seven or eight years been a
serious strain upon the state treasury.
Since 1885 the amount paid out in bounties
has been largely increased each year, until
the annual appropriation has become en-
tirely inadequate to meet the demands
During certain months of the year the
bounty is only So per scalp, while during
other months it is S.. 1t is alleged that in
certain counties certain persons have been
in the habit of farming wolveo, and also of
keeping the wolf cubs in captivity during

imported from other states and that gener-
ally speaking the bounty system has been
grossly abused

AN OLD TIME INDIAN TERROR.

An Aged Indian Warrior who For
Ten Years Terrorized Arizona
Settlers,
They were talking about the present
Indian outbreak when one of the par
ty, who had been for many years
resident of Arizona Territory, re-
marked:
Il tell you gentlemen that this
Indian business is liable to be-
come serious before long Why on
earth the government don't enlist 25,-
600 men and have those red men
rounded up at once and for all is
something can't understand.
"Why, down in Arizona we lived for
eighteen years in a state of terror on
account of a marauding band of
Apaches that had things pretty
much their own way all this time, in
spite of all that the government
troops could do to keep them in
check.
l call to mind particularly Old
Victorio There was Il warrior for
YOU He commanded band ofsome
200 bucks. They were the Chiraca-
hua Apaches, and the murders, rob-
berries and depredations committed by
that band during those ten years in
which they were on the warpath are
almost incredible.
'Old Victoria was nearly 80 years
of age when the troubles began. He
ruled those redskins with rod ofiron
in spite OF his years. And he was
paralyzed, too, completely paralyzed
He was only able to use his left arm
little, just enough to lift cigarette to
his mouth.
''He was constantly in the saddle,
and had to be strapped On like a bale
of goods. His band had the finest
ponies to be found anywhere. They
would sometimes appear at one place
and in less than twenty four hours you
would hear OF them at some place 100
miles distance. All throughout
Southern Arizona and Northern
Mexico old Victoria continued his
raids until the settlers finally gave up
in despair. The government troops
appeared to be utterly powerless in
the matter.
''Why, that band of redskins would
sometimes plumber wagon train
right under the noses of the troopers,
and by the time the latter We're
mounted and ready to start in pur-
suit, they would be out of sight. The
next day perhaps, the wires would tell
OF some fresh depreciation committed
by the same band in a section of the
country over 100 miles away.
'"This old war dog, however, was
finally rounded up and shot. He died
in the saddle, fighting to the last, and
his band what was left of it, dispersed.
OF course the settlers heard of it and
were delighted. Dismay followed,
however, when Cochise took the field
This Indian ran things pretty much
the same way for five years, and then
came old Geronimo.
THE Indians of the Northwest are
much more numerous and better arm
ed. You may take my word for it,
gentlemen, we haven't seen the last of
these Indian troubles. We've hardly
seen the beginning of them. The gov
eminent will wake up to this fact be-
fore long tOo.-From the New York
Herald

1t Paws to Strike.

Recommending on the so-called waste
fitness and foolishness Of strikes, the
Rev. J. NJ. Driver pointed out in a re-
cent sermon phase of labor move
ments that capitalists are apt to for
get. Said he: "But the public is so in
convenienced by strikes, you say. Ex-
actly. But what does the public do
or care for the convenience of the wage
workers? But it is argued, the capt.
talists are better able to afford their
half of the loss. Individually, that
NAV be true. But for every group OF
three capitalists there is group OF
ninetv-sven workingmen. So, while
3 per cent. of our people shoulder hall
the loss, the other half is divided out
among the remaining 81 per cent. OF
the population. Therefore, If strikers
were never victorious, and lfvengeance
were the only booty, strikes would not
be altogether fruitless.
But strikes are often successful IL
nancial ventures. John Stuart Mill de
clares that ''they are an essential
part OF our industrial system" The
readiness and ability to strike have
| brought many naughty employers to
their knees with generous pay and
humane treatment. Down to 1883
the Cigarmakers' International union
had completely won in 2O4 strikes,
and partially so in twelve more. The
strike cost the cigarmakers 1885,
444.67,. While the gain amounted to
50, 300 900 per annum, an item IN the
last seven years of SIG, 100000,
leaving a clear gain of 81 ,S13, $50
33, with a perpetual clear gain of 81
300, 900 per annum. OF all strikes 81
per cent. are successful. And the
readiness and ability to strike is Il
capital liver tonic and regulator. l
am not championing or condemning
strikes. am only showing that as a
rule it pays to strike, and that work
ingmen are not such fools as some
people think they are. There is in
deed dark side to labor organiza-
tons, but it is usually on the side OF
the oppressive, capitalistic and mon
opolistic Egyptians. Chicago Times.
While as yet we have discovered no way
of avoiding contagion which comes to US in
the air, we know. from recent nvestiga-
| tons. the extremely important TACT that
the air does not become contaminated with
bacteria unless they are allowed to dry.

What an Indian Can Stand,

Detroit Free Press: To show what an In
dian can stand when he has to, may tell
of an incident which happened during the
winter was with them. Toward evening
on very cold winter day, when it was
showing just little and drifting great
deal, ali Indian came to the log house with
jug half Iull OF whisky and with his rifle.
full OF whisky when he started, and by the
time he got to the house he was in rather a
jolly condition. The jug and the rifle were
taken away from him and he was ordered
to get to his wigwam as quick as he could
before darkness came on. He left, and was
supposed to have gone to the camp. but
early next morning his squaw appeared at
the house and said he had not come home
that night, and as the night was cold she
had been anxious about him. Then the
search Tor the lost Indian began.
He was found in one of the sheds near the
barn under a heap of drifted snow and the
chances are that the snow that was above
him had helped to save his Lie. The search
ers tor the Indians had gone in different d.
rections, and it was his own squaw who,
with true Indian instinct, had tracked him
out and she was alone when she found
him. Apparently the Indian was frozen
corpse. She tumbled him out Of the snow
bank and pulled off his blankets and
dragged him down to the creek, where q
deep hole was cut in the ice for the purpose
OF watering the cattle. Laying the Indian
out OF the snow, she took the pan that was
beside the hole and, filling it repeatedly,
dashed pailful after pailful of ice water
over the body ofthe Indian. By the time
the other unsuccessful searchers had re-
turned she had her old man thawed out and
seated by the fire wrapped up in blankets.
There IS no question that if he had been
found by the others and had been taken in
the house frozen as he was he would have
died.
