the same instant he heard frightened
cry and a loud splash. Regaining his
feet he sprang to one of the little doors.
and looking out saw nobody. Then he
ran to the other with the same result
He was evidently alone on some sort OF
boat, which at that moment was
drifting beneath great iron bridge.

Better Prices For Farm Produce.
Lower Prices For What
Farmers Buy.

From the Tribune. South Bend. Ind. June 20.
There was no Mckinley Bill June
June 18th, 1890, as all the Tribune's
farmer readers know. They also
know that Democratic papers pre-
dicted that If the Mckinley bill be-
came a law it would cheaper prices
on everything the farmer raised and
increase prices on all he bought.
Time proves all things, Last June
the Mckinley bill was not alaw, and
this June it is. Here are eight arti-
cles Of produce most raised by farm
ers OF st. Joseph County and of Indi-
ana generally, as every one OF which
the McKinley bill increased the duty
to keep Canadian farmers from ship
ping into the United States to, conf
pete with our home farmers. The
amounts paid in South Bend for
these articles June 18th, 1880, are
given in the first column, and the
amounts paid June 18th, 1891, under
the Mckinley law, are given in the
oocon1 oo1,,n,n.

How to Treat SunstrOke.

1t is not wise to carry the sufferer
from sunstrOke far for help, as time
is valuable, says Elizabeth r. Scovil
in the August Ladies Home Journal.
Lay him in a shady place, as cool as
is to be found. Unfasten bands
about neck and waist. Strip the
clothing off the upper part of the
body and shower it with water. If
ice can be had, crack it, wrap it in
cotton and apply it to the head,
spine and under the arms. If not,
use wet cloths instead, changing
them every few minutes. In town,
ether and a spray can be procured
from druggist, and the forehead
and head sprayed. Rapid tanning OF
the hot surface helps to evaporate
the water more quickly. AS soon as
the patient revives a little and can
swallow, iced brandy or whisky and
water can be given. Adoctor should
be sent for, but he will come too late
If nothing is done in the interval.
Sunstroke is fever caused by heat,
and the most urgent need is to re-
duce the temperature by cooling the
surface OF the body in every way pos
sible. The exhaustion must be met
by stimulants.

NOTHING BUT CASH.
White Earth Indians Are Flat. Footed
in Their Demands for
Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, July co. Indian
Agent D. Schuler, OF White Earth
agency, telegraphs Indian Commis-
sioner Morgan today that the Indi-
ans positively refuse to agree to &C.
cept anything but cash in the distrib-
ution Of the $3.50, 900 appropriated by
congress to recompense them for
their overfowed lands. The recent
letter Of Chief White Cloud to Presi-
dent Harrison, is thought to give
sufficient reason for their refusal to
take t15O, 900 worth of oxen and lum-i
Der wagons. The steadfast refusal!
Of the Chippewas to accept anything
but cash creates some uneasiness ut
the Indian bureau, for Commissioner
Morgan has been urged by promin-
ent Northwesterners to pay the Chip
peWass in, cash. Commissioner Nor
gan telegraphed Agent Schuler this
morning to send his recommendation
at once as to the. nature Of the pay
ment to be made. It may be necee-s
sary to send a special agent to White.

Too Much for One Crowd,
From the Minneapolis Lumberman

From the Minneapolis Lumberman.
A telegram from Washington gives
out the startling information that
since the census bulletin '.showing
that the state OF Minnesota contains
the reserve OF the white pine OF this
country, q timber which is being rap
idly taken from the market in our
Northwestern states, an English syn
dicate has been formed for the pur-
pose of buying all white pine timber
now standing in Minnesota. This
will include many thousands OF acres
belonging to private Individuals
Well, if this be true the English SYN
dicate has large sized contract in
hand and have kept their intentions
SO secluded from public gaze that the
owners OF pine in Minnesota have
not been overburdened by the attcn-
tion of the representative of the syn
dicate. Whenever the English syndi-
cate promoter concludes to tackle
the lumber business he will discover
that he has bit off more than he can
chew.

became the moon, which has been 60

speed is one which no invention of
man seems to satisfy. Ocean steamers
now cross the Atlantic in week, but
the public clamors for a shorter voy-
age, and some d the companies are
holding out a hope Of three days.
Perhaps the speed indicated above,
when our old globe whirled around at
the rate Of 5000 miles an hour, would
satisfy the people who travel, but the
world is getting on in years now and
is little slow, they will have to be
contented with such gait as the rail-
roads can strike. When they want

Pensions and the Public Debt,

At the close of the war, when the
country was staggering under the
great weight of debt and taxation,
the men who controlled the legisla-
ton of the country did not decline to
provide for the payment of the public
debt because it was large. Such ac-
tton would have been both cowardly
and dishonest. On the contrary,
they faced the great problem
with courage and solved 1t
with wisdom and honor. They
amended the constitution OF the
United States, and in amend
ment XIV, section 4, it is declared
that ''the validity of the public debt ;
of the United States, authorized by
law, including debts for payment OF
pensions and bounties for services i'll
suppressing insurrection or rebellion
shall not be questioned" Here is q
solemn constitutional recognition of
the rights OF these soldiers to pen
sions, and of the duty of Congress to
enact suitable laws granting the
same. This amendment recognizes
and protects two great classes Of
financial obligations. The one is to
those who held the securities of the
government issued to raise money to
carry on the war; the other to those
who took the personal risks OF war
and whose patriotism and valor
saved the Union. The heroism of the
men in arm made the great cause tri-
umphant, and by their success con-
verted the deprecated obligations
held by public creditors into glitter
ing gold; and now when this mighty
obligation of the old soldiers has ma
tured, because of their infirmities and
their weight of years, shall it be de-
MED them because the sum is large?
In 1865 the interest charge upon the
public debt was nearly $151 800, 900,
and the pensions were $S,500,OOO; an
aggregate of $160,OOO,OO0. The public
creditor expected his interest, and it
was paid by the people without
abatement. The population was
then 35,000,000, and this annual
charge of interest and pensions was
$4.57 per capita. The public debt is
now almost paid. 1t is no longer a
burden. The bondholders have re-
ceived $4,000, 10000 in interest and
premiums since July l, 1861. The
pensioners heve received $l,2S4 4,7l6,-
600. The present interest charge for
1891 is 1886, ,46S, 900, and the pensions
for this year will cost 10000, 900, or
an annual aggregate Of interest and
pensions OF '$152, ,40S,OOO. We now
have a population OF G3,O0O,OO0; SO
that this annual expense Of interest
and pensions is $2.4 per capita. The
gratitude of this nation to it's defend
ers should be measured by the value
of the service rendered and the finan-
cial ability of this people to respond
to the demands OF just pension legis-
lation.-From "Pensions and Patri-
Otism," by Gen. Green 3. Raum,
United States Commissioner of Pen
slUns, Ill NORTH American Review for
August.

ANNUAL FAIR,
Morrison County Fair to he Held at
Little Falls, Sept. 20, 80,
and Oct 1, 1891.

anu VcC l, 1S01s
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, Sept. %, 80, and Oct. LIST next are
the days fixed for the annual show
ing of the Morrison County Agn-
cultural Society. The managers OF
the coming fair are making prepara-
tions for a better exhibition, parti-
cularly of agricultural products and
stock than has been made heretofore.
1t Is important that all enterprising
farmers and stock raisers cooperate
with the managers and assist and
encourage the fair. The County
Agricultural Society is permanently
established and capapable OF. doing
a power of good. There is no reason
why every farmer in the county, yes,
every farmer, (that means you per
haps), should take at least enough:
interest to talk encourageingly, If not
to assist in the exhibit. Don't wait
any longer to see whether thesociety
is going to make live of it-for the
fact is assured; don't wait to see
whether your neighbor is going into
it or not, just take hold and do some
thing yourself, setting a good ex-
APPLE for that sleepy neighbor; don't
spend hours and days of time trying
to discover something to kick about,
just give half of that time to helping
the society in it's good work and use
the other half in attending to your
own business, and If you do not find
more profit in taking this advice,
theni it is our mistake in figuring.

PRINCE NAPOLERN,

Fortune appears to smile on the republican
form of government in France, which has now
entered upon the twenty first year OF its exist
ence. and may therefore be considered as having
attained its full maturity and Development Inc
misguided policy of the Royalist leaders in aSSo-
ciating themselves with the Boulanger fiaSco
proved the dcathblow to all prospects OF an
OrIcanist restoration and the death Of Prince
Napoleon has removed the only member OF
the Bonapartst family who was capable OF ever
becoming a menace to the Republic His I'M
portancc as prctendcr was due, not so much
to the strength Of the l}onapartlSt party, which
is in a divided and even moribund condition,
but rather to his own personal brllancy ana
cIevernesS 4 warm tribute Is PAID to the lat-
ter in letter published to-day under the sig
nature of Ex-DipIomat who, among other per-
sonal "reminiscences of the dead Prince, describes
the fight which the latter was obliged to make
at the time of our Rebellion to prevent Napoleon
III from complying with the ardent wishes OF
the Emprcss 10 recognize the Confederate Gov
erLmcnt.
\ man of singulary enlightened views and
of remarkable penetration, Prince Napoleon, like
the COmte dc Paris, was a thorough democrat
M heart and would have proved useful and
lOvaI adhcrent to the present republican form OF
government il France had he not been so
heavily handicapped by the traditions OF his
dynasty and by the greed and ambitions OF the
members of his party. Indeed, there are many
points of analogy between the Royalist Pre-
tender and the late Prince Both gave their
support to our Government i'll moment OF
peril-the one on the battlefield, the other in
the council chamber. The Comte dc Paris pos
sesses too though not the brllancy, at any
rate much Of the cruditlon, common-SenSe and
literary facility of Prince Napoleon. Both have
had much trouble and even conflict with their
eldest sons; and both Count and Prince were
forced by the circumstances of their birth to be-
come the embodiment of policy that was dla-
metrically opposed to their real opinions.
