A SMART LITTLE GIRL.
Children Should Not Be Questioned too

Children Should Not BE Questioned too
Closely in Company.
There is a charming young widow in
South Minneapolis who retains FIVE year
old girl as the only pledge of her dear de-
parted. The little one has just begun to
learn her alphabet. A gentleman called
upon the widow the other evening. OF
course the fond mother wanted to show off
her child. Taking up newspaper and
pointing to the big letters in an ADVERTISE
ment the mother said:
"Wbat letter is tnat?"
"a, " responded the child!
''What comes after A ?''
'B."
'And what comes next?"
&C. lisped the little one.
The inquiry was pursued still further,
but along toward the end of the alphabet
the little girl lost her bearings and never
answered question.
Finally the gentleman thought he
would put a few questions. He began with
this one.
what comes after T?"
The child looked him straight in the
eye as she answered:
"a man to see mamma"

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The house
bill to provide for an additional associate
justice of the supreme court of Arizona,
passed.
The financial bill was taken up and Plumb
gave notice of an amendment limiting to
81 900 the compulsory requirement de-
post of United States bonds for every
national bank. This was not to apply to
the deposit of bonds to secure public
moneys in material banks.
Blackburn addressed the senate in ad
vocacy of Stewart's amendment for free
coinage. He was not willing to have it
60 to the country and world that the
amendment was simply an effort by the
representatives OF the silver states aud
that the rest of the country was indiffer-
ent to the result. There was not a silver
mine within the limits of the great com
monwealth OF Kentucky, and yet lie ven
tured to assert that her people were as
united, ds earnest, as honest. and as
clamorous in their demand for the free
coinage OF silver US were the people OF
Colorado, California, Idaho or Nevada.
The opponents OF Tree coinage might rely
on the veto power of the president, but
that would prove a vain reliance.
He denounced the auti-silger policy
of every administration for the last
twenty years. 1t did not matter
to him that his own party was, for four
years, responsible for the enduring wrong.
Cleveland's administration was Just as
amenable to criticism and censure as its
predecessors or its successor. The Far
mers' Alliance was now centralized into a
national organization, and protesting
against class Legislation Every intelli-
gent man, and every honest man. &C
knowledged that they had just cause of
complaint. They asked redress of gries-
ances, not imaginary, but real. The
mighty West and the rejuvenated South
bad endured the fleeing process until
their patience was exhausted, and now
they meant that Just laws should be en-
acted and unjust laws repealed.
Morgan followed Blackburn in advocacy
Of the amendment. He yielded the floor
without concluding his speech, and the
bill was laid aside.
The senate bill a%ppropriating 800, 900
for a public building at Joliet, ILL.,. and
the house bull appropriating 500, 600 for
one at Rockford. ILL.,, were reported and
placed on the calendar. Also q senate

Lindsay names the cat AS one of the
animals that perpetrare practical Jokes
on each other or on man, thai ,s,ter
thoroughly into the spirit OF the Joke
or fun, and enjoy and exult in its sue
cess, and cites in illustration of his
principle an instance of a cat teasing n
frog, seemingly to hear it cry. Tad, of
Burnham, Me-, seems to have had the
humorous sense in n more refined de-
gree. He would sit in the yard, and,
calling the neighboring cats together,
would maneuver as though giving them
orders till he got them to fighting;
then would withdraw to one side, or to
his seat upon the window sill, and look
on in evident amusement, swinging his
large, bushy tail forcibly against the
window pane, but when called into the
house by his mistress he always obeyed.

II. j. A. O'Reilly, assistant superin-
tendent of the Pullman Car company
for this division, has returned from a
flying trip To Portland. He brought
with him a thrilling story of the narrow
escape of the southbound Oregon ex-
press train from a catastrophe while
rounding the picturesque horseshoe
curve on the Southern Pacific line q
short distance this side of Sisson.
II was shortly after z o'clock on Sun
day evening, he relates, while sitting
with a number of gentlemen in the
smoking room, they we're thrown from
their seats by a sudden stoppage of the
train. The passengers, instantly call.
ing to mind the fatal Salem accident,
were thrown into a turmoil, but as the
train seemed to be still holding together
they stood up in their seats and breath
lessly awaited developments. A min
ute later and the Ears were at "a stand
still.
The conductor rushed out Of one Of
the foremost cars, and, followed by a
number of the more excited passengers,
ran to the head of the train. There,
lying scarcely three feet before the cow
catcher, he found two powders. each
fully three feet in diameter, in the mid
die of the track. With the aid of crow
bars the Instructions were speedily re
moved.
At the point where the rocks were
displaced the track winds along the
edge of a precipice fully 400 feet in
height, and should the engine have
struck the distractions the entire train
would have been tumbled over. and
nothing could have possibly saved it
from destruction. The train consisted
of some eight cars, including four sleep
ers, all well filed.
The danger was discovered in "A rather
peculiar manner Frank Fox, an off

Only the Usual Dances.

CHICAGO, Jan. "a dispatch re-
ceived BY the Associated Press from po-
c%atello, Idaho, says: The reports of seri.
Gus trouble, or fears Of an outbreak
among the Indians on Fort Hall reserya
ton. surrounding this place, are utterly
without foundation. A visit to Blackioot,
on the edge of the reservation, and at
the agency itself, fails to reveal any cause
of apprehension. While the Indians
have been dancing. these demonstrations
partake oil the same character rs those
held every year at this time. The In
dians on the reservation are Sboshones
and Bannocks, the former being a peacea-
bic tribe and greatly in the majority. The
Bannocks are warriors. but could not
muster more than seventy-ive fighting
bucks. Agent Fisher does not consider
there is any cause for alarm. Tomorrow
rations will be issued end the indications
are hat the usual number OF Indians will
apply at the agency.
1t is rep )rted that United States troops
from Boise City have been ordered here,
but as no necessity exits for their pres
ence, steps will be taken to have the or.
der revoked.

A DOUBLE HEADER
Thayer Still Holds the Fort at
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Boyd Issues An Order, Which Is
Not Recognized.
The Supreme Court PstitiOned to
Decide the Case.

LINCoLH, Jan. g.-The proceedings in
the senate this afternoon were not OF
much Importance. A movement was
made toward limiting the employees to
about half the number given places last
session. Several bills were introduced and
an attempt unsuccessfullY made to ap-
prove the minutes Of the last session.
This business was still pending when an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow.
In the house an uproar was created by
a motion 70 appoint a committee to wait
on the governor and ask for his message.
Amendments directing the committee to
await upon Governor Thayer, Governor
Boyd and Governor Powers we're pro-
posed IN rapid succession and the matter
had not reached a focus at the time uf ad-
journment. A resolution directing the
preparation Of a bill %appropriating $780,
600 for the relief of the drought sufferers
near the Colorado line, was adopted with
enthusiasm.
The gubernatorial mix-uD still contin-
ues. Governor Thayer still holds the fort
against Governor BOYD. As reported in
these dispatches yesterday, his objection
Is thai Boyd was never naturalized, and,
therefore. ineligible. The board of public
lands aud buildings, however. today as
signed Boyo quarters in another part of
the capitol, and he began acting as gov
n The first conflict of authority Oc-
Cured this afternoon, when a telegram
was received stating that au Indian out
break was feared in the northern part of
the state, and asking that the militia now
at the front be placed SO as to repel the
attack. The governor ordered Adit. Gen.
Cole TO make preparations, but Cole re
piled that he would take orders only from
Governor Thayer. Boyd thereupon de-
clared Cole ousted. and appointed Gen.
Victor NIfquain to the position.
The state militia on the frontier
now has two commanders, and 1t is i'm
possible to tell which they will obey. The
j~anltors of the state house have gone over
TO Boyd, and is said the ga and steam
will be turned off from Thayer's Office to-
morrow. Thayer today Detitioned the
supreme court for a co warranted writ to
determine Boyd's position. The court
will decide next Tuesday. Meantime
Thaver has issued a public statement say
ing that he wishes the supreme court to
decide the matter before be vacates the
office.
Boyd has nothing to say about his case,
except that he knows he is a citizen. His
friends claim that even if he was not
legally naturalized, he is a citizen of the
United States because he was a citizen OF
the territory Of Nebraska, and when the
state was admitted into the Union all its
citizens were invested with full citizen.

Negotiating the ,Iol.tnr, in The AI,.

An electrical device for measuring
and regulating the moisture in the air
of workshops is described in n foreign
paper. An organic membrane contracts
or expands according to the humidity
of the air, this movement being trans
ferred to a metal hand, which closes an
elastic contact arrangement when the
moisture exceeds n certain limit. BY
this means an evaporation chamber is
closed until the dryness of the atmos-
phere contracts the membrane and
moves the metal hand in nm opposite
direction, thus forming a contact that
reopens the evaporation chamber.
