What an old Soldier Says of Them

Those who have had anything to do with the Indians will watch with great interest the attempt now being made to transform them into regular troops. I shall never forget sight I witnessed at Fort Ellis shortly after the war. A colonel of cavalry regiment determined to teach his scouts regular drill, and to make them practically regular troops. He obtained authority to issue them army clothing, and said that he would soon have splendid copper-colored troop of cavalry. He taught them the rudiments of the drill easy enough, and determined to astonish the department commander, who was expected at Ellis on tour of in- spcction. The night before bis ar- rival he issued the uniforms to the Indians. When the cavalry were paraded next day the Indian troop looked particularly fine, the new uniforms contracting most favorably with our weather-beaten garments The colonel was in ecstacies, but sih Joy was short lived. The Indians looked we'll enough from the front, but when the regiment was ordered to wheel it was found that the red troopers had introduced an innova- tion not provided for in the tactics. They disliked the confinement of trousers, and each man had cut the seat out of his unaccustomed habili- mcnts, transforming them into leg gings. The roar of laughter with which their appearance was greeted effectually cured our colonel of any belief in his ability to make regulars out of Indians. Recruiting Sergeant in Globe-Democrat.

THE COTTON CROP.
There is Practically no Change in the
 Cotton Belt.

CottOh bclbs
 ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. 19.-The obe-Democrat's weekly cotton cror of September, says: The weather during the past week has been gener. ally hot and dry throughout the South. Its effect on the crop de- pends upon the previous condition, and reports, in consequence, are con- flicting. Some parts of the country it done good, in others harm, so talk ing the cotton belt as whole, there is practically no change in the condition of the crop.
 In Georgia, North and South Caro-. lima and Florida, hot sunshine bene- fited the crop. A top crop is hoped for in South Alabama, while in the northern part of the state conditions are very discouraging.
 In Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and most of Texas hot sum- shine caused the bolls to open premature and in some cases dry up completely.
 The top crop amounts practically 10 nothing and the middle crop is be- low the average. The yield in Mis- sippi will be from 65 to 50 per cent. under that of last year. Estimates for Arkansas range from yield equal to that of last year to decrease of 40 per ceut.

MURDERED HIS FATHER.
Terrible Crime of Logan Murphy Near
 Saylersville, Ky.

Terrible Crime of Logan Murphy Near
 Saylersville, Ky.
 LOUISVILLE, KY., Sept. 19.--Near Ssylersville about 1 o'clock this morning Logan Murphy shot and killed his father, Isaac Murphy. He then stood guard over the house till daylight and prevented his mother or any of the children from going out. Just before sunrise he left and tried to escape, but tbe news spread quickly, and soon an armed band was on his track. He turned in his course which was at first away from the county, and was captured go- ing towards Saylersville. He gave no reason for the murder, except that he quarrelled with his father over @ trivial matter and the father threatened his life. No lawyer at Saylersville would defend Murphy, aud he began his own defense by waiviDg examination. In default of bail he was held prisoner and taken to the Prestonburg jail.

 ''Vot kind of shave vos dot?" asked the Teutonic barber, after he had tucked towel under his custom er's chin and grasped the shaving brush.
 "Why, want straight shave, !" repeated the customer, gruff1y; "a straight shave; isn't that plain enough2"
 Maybe dot vos some kind of a shave vot vas joost imported, und ain't come round here yet alretty," " remarked the barber, loath to admit that there was anything connected with his profession with which he was Hot we'll acquainted.
 "Great Scott! Must I explain my meaning to every new barber that l run across2 When ask for a straight shave I mean that I want a shave without any bay rum, without any hair oil, without any don't you want shampoo2' and particularly without any confounded talk. There, now go ahead and give me g straight shave and be quick about it."
 ''Py Shimminy!" said the barber indignantly, when his customer had departed, ''some people vos such hogs dey doan know dot barber haf some feelings init him. l have a goot miud to put notice up in my store dat ve vos not shaving hogs here no more. ."-New York Herald.

PRAIRIES ON FIRE,
The Flames Doing Great Damage in Min-
 nesota aud North Dakota.
FARMERS SUFFERING.
Fifty Thousand Bushefs of Wheat De- stroyed Around Lisbon, Y. D. Strip Thirty Miles wide
 and Forty Long
 Burned.

ST. PAUL, MIN, Sept. 19-The intense heat of the past few days continues. Yesterday the ther- mometer registered from 100 to 102 degrees at several Minnesota points. The heat is accompanied by a strong wind, and prairie fires are reported from dozen localities
 A great deal of hay in stacks has been destroyed, and three or four miles of the Great Northern Rail- roads track have been burned and made impossible.
 In North Dakota the greatest dam age has been done around Lisbon. At least 50,000 bushels of wheat have been destroyed there. At last reports the fire was still spreading north and east. The Northern Pacific has sent 8 water tank to Jamestown to protect the company's properly if necessary. No fire is reported east of the track now. The farmers are generally in- sufficient fire guards and great anxiety is felt on that account.
 Barney Burbridge, stage driver from Winona, N. D says the prairie fire started at Winchester yesterday and burned west twelve miles, and within six miles of the Missouri river. The wind changed and drove the fire east fifteen miles, through Willismsport, which is four miles southeast of Bismarck. The entire neighborhood gathered last night end fought the fire out of Winona. The fire is still burning. It is feared that Williamsport was burned, as the fire was driven by 8 heavy wind and the town is poorly protected. The fact that there has been no mail from Bismarck since Wednesday gives credence to the fears. A strip of about thirty miles wide and forty long has been burned over. In Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin the fire is in the forests.

The RUSSEt[VILLE DEMOCRAT
PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY Democrat Printing Go. RUSSELLyILLE, ARK.
PREMIER MERGER,
Of Quebec, Throws Down the Gauntlet to
 Lieut.- Gov. Anglers.
VOICES THE DEMOCRACY
Of the Dominion The Calling of the Royal Commission May Bring About a
 Revolution.

MONTREAL, Sept. Is Premier Mercisr has thrown down the gaunt- let to Lieut.. Governor Anglers and defies him to appoint g royal com mission to inquire into the Baie des Chaleurs charges. Mercier's per sonal organ, La Justice, says that a civil war would result before the lieutenant.governor would be per mitted to take any high-handed pro- ceedings.
 The French conservatives are sd. vising the lieutensnt-governor to dis solve the legislature, and a most viru- lent newspaper war is going on be- tween the opposing factions. Mercier has sent a letter to the lieutenant governor stating that he would not allow an autocrat to override him, and that he was responsible to the people alone for his conduct. The letter predicts that in conflict be- tween tottering monarchy and the flag of an uncompromising Democracy the final victory will not rest with the former.
 The position taken by Mercier is that he is prime minister by popular will, and can break up twenty gov ernors who hold their power from a source not in keeping with modern ideas. Mercier states that he leaves with the lieutenant-governo the re- sponsibility of crisis if he provokes one. If tAe lieutenant governor per. sists in calling royal commission one of the most dangerous crises that have threatened the Dominion for years will result. Mercjer has great 1 influence over the French Canadians, a number of whom see in his revolu- tionary instincts the hope of & French Canada. [.

 GAINESVILLE, GA, Sept. 1o.-- Dawsonville YVES in the hands of a mob Tuesday night. Nine men who had sued unsuccessfully for ladies' favors were the principals Five young men, Dale and John Castle berry, Will Mahan, Asa Slaton and Herbert O ven had been paying at leutions to certain young women who did not reciprocate the tender feeling, while the attention of Messrs. Net Ware, son of the minister, and John Martin was acceptable. Tuesday mig ht the five young men attacked Ware and Martin and commenced to fire pis- tols. They lay flat on the ground and returned the fire. Fifteen shots were exchanged. In the midst of the firing the Rev. Mir. Ware ap- peared with 8 shot gun and turned both barrels loose in the direction of the hiding parties. The five assail- ants walked to the public square, pistols in hand, where they openly defied the marshal and citizens. A street fight took place and finally the citizens retired, leaving the ''boys" in possession. Warrants have been sworn out for the entire gang, charg- tug them with conspiracy snd assault with intent to murder. Mahan has been arrested, but the other four are at large.

SEALS AND FISHERIES.
Commissioners Who Visited Behring Sea
 Win Soon Report.


 CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-A special dispatch from Washington says: Late yesterday afternoon Assistant Secretary Wharton, of the state de pertinent, and Commissioner Men, denhall and Fulan, who were sent to Behring Sea to examine and report concerning the condition of seals and fisheries there, called on President Harrison at the White House. The commissioners declared that a stop m ast be put to the practice of killing seals in open sea for several years, if it is desired to perpetuate this species of tur-bearing animals.
 Incidentally the commissioners re- ferred to tho fact that they had &C., compapied Special Treasury Agent Williams and assistants on journeys of exploration and found their views identical regarding the future course to be pursued in perpetuatiug seals of the Prybeloff Islands. Agent Williams is now at home in Ohio, engaged in the preparation of his re- port on the subject, and the commis- sioners assured the president, before leaving the White House, that they would formulate similar documents as speedily as possible.

Isa High Instep Beautifuls

A very high instep is never seen on any of the famous statues which the world considers ideals, yet when the foot is placed firmly down, as in walking, it must not flatten and lose its shspeliness. It sLouli be neither plump nor bony; the skin healthy ivory white, the tips of the toes and the nails pinkish, while the sole of the foot, the color extending up on the edges, should be deeply roseate. Dimpled feet are not beautiful, ac- cording to the canons of nigh art; dimples always mean prettiness, not beauty. Beauty Is cast in too pure a mold to need the eye-catching little hicks and indentations, which may be winsome, but which usually ac- company an overplus Of adipose tissue. .--Boston Globe.

SEVEN SMOTHERED.
Az Entire Family smothersd to Death

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.--Fire, early this morning, in three story brick building, Nos. 549 and 551 Sedg- wick street, the upper stories of which were occupied by number of families as living apartments, re- suited in the death of seven people and the fatal injury of another. The dead gre: John Schslk, mechanic, aged 45 years, his wife, aged 42 years, and their children, Annie, aged Is; John, aged 12, and James, aged 8; Robbie Burus, aged IA, and wo- man, name unknown.

WARFARE OF THE FUTURE.
In Coming Conflicts Conditions wil1 U
 Eukfrelv Fhuu9na.

In Coming CenHicts Conditions win Bs
 Entirely Changed.
 The assailants fall fast as their ad- vance pushes forward, combed down by the rife fire, the mitraille and the shrapnel of the defense. But they are gallant men, and while life lasts they will not be deuied. The long, bloody advance is all but over; the survivors of it who have attained thus far are lying down getting their wind for the final concentration and rush. Meanwhile, since after they once again stand up they will use no more rife fire till they have eopaaesed UT are beaten, they are pouring forth against the defense their reserve of bullets in or attaches to their rife butts. The defenders take this pun ishment, like Col. Quagg, lying down, counting the protection of their earthbank. The hail of their assail- ants bullets ceases; already the ar- tillery of the attack has desisted lest it should injure friend as foe. The word runs along the line and the clumps of men lying prostrate there out in the open. The officers spring to their feet, wave their swords and cheer loudly. The men are up in an instant, and the swift rush focusing toward point begins. The distance to be traversed before the attackers are aug prises with the defenders is abou. 150 yards.
 It is no mere storm of missiles which meets fair in the face those charging heroes; no, it is moving wall of metal against which they run to their ruin. For the infantry of the defense are emptying their maga- zines now at point blank range. Emptied magazine yields 10 full one {; the maxims are pumping, not bullets, but veritable chains of lead, with calm, devilish swiftness. The quick firing guns are spouting radiating torrents of case. The attackers are mown down as corn falls, not before the sickle, but the scythe. Not @ man has reached, or can reach, the little earth bank behind which the defenders keep their ground. The attack has failed, and failed from no lack of valor, of methodized effort, of punctilious compliance with every instruction; but simply because the defense- the defense of the future in war fare-has been too strong for the at- tack. One will not occupy space by recounting how, in the very nick cf time, the passive defense flashes out into the counter-offensive; nor need one enlarge on the sure results to the invaders as the unassailed flank of the defense throws forward the shoulder and takes in flank the dislo- cated masses of aggressors.
 One or two such experiences will definitely settle the point as to the relative advantage of the offensive and defensive. Soldiers will not submit themselves to retrial on re- tial of res judicata. Grant, dogged though Ee was, had to accept that lesson in the shambles of Cold Har- bor. For the bravest sane man will rather live than die. No man burns to become cannon fodder.-Nine- teenth Century.
