FOR EIGHT MONTHS.
ANSWERS.

( IL is very simple matter. We have arranged
| with the Publishers of the Americanized ENJOY
| clopssdia Britannica to take large quantity Of
| this work OF their hands thus securing remark
ably low price as well as singularly easy terms.
We propose to give the whole advantage Of this
transaction to our subscribers, and offer to de-
liver the entire set Of the Americanized Enoyclo-
psedla Britannica on payment Of $500 and your
signing contract to pay $3.50 month for 10
months. $50 in all This offer is made only in
connection with years subscription to TING
[ paper at regular subscription rates
Just so. But you gee, in these days OF steam
aud electricity, and labor-saving machinery,
great deal can be done for eight cents dsy, es-
pecially when twenty or thirty thousand people
club their money and each puts his eight cents
| into common stock.
You can be thankful that You didn't accept
his offer. If you'd done so and seen the Ameri-
canized edition afterward you would have felt
like kicking yourself. Isuppose your canvass-
ing friend told you that the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannice WAS simply the most complete work Of
its kind ever published?
So it IS; he was right enough 30 far. It's .
monumental work and cost more than million
dollars to get up. But there are spots on the
sun, you know, and there are defects even in the
Encyclopedia Britannica. Did he mention to
you that you might look for Ulysses s. Grane
| In it and not find word about him?
OF course he was, or pretty nearly 3d. But
the Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't mention
him for all that. And it doesn't say word
about Sherman either, nor about Sheridan, nor
Hancock, nor Blaine, nor Cleveland, nor Hsrri-
son, nor Harriet Beecher Stowe, nor Julia Ward
Howe, nor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, nor Charles
Stewart Parnell, nor Bismarck, nor JEFF Davis,
nor
Oh, yes indeed Is contains some of che mosh

But you see what they called "the plan OF
the work" excluded all mention OF living
characters. They wanted to see how a man
would turn out first before they made room for
his Me in their volumes.

an Encyclopaedia that will not tell
me,anything about the great men

CHICAGO. July 17.-At Tiller's. Ind. a
small junction village thirty miles south
east of this city, the mortal remains Of
Morris Allen Collins, president of the Dal-
las. Texas, suicide club, was reduced to
ashes at late hour last night.
The Whiteohapel club of this CITY
had charge of the strange ceremony. The
torch was applied to the pile OF pitch
soaked wood at 1850 O'Clock. During the
five hours that the body burned impressive
ceremonies were enacted about the blazing
pile. When the consuming flames had done
their work the ashes were gathered together
with reverential care and placed in an urn
on which loving hands had traced in many
hues pictures symbolic of the principles
which had once animated his life.
Collins committed suicide nine days AGO
and left a remarkable letter. one extract
from which explains its character. It was
written to a friend named Hornora Jack
son. He asked that his body bo saved from
the dissectinR room, and concluded:
PLEASE see that my body is turned over TO
the Whitechapel club, and that that organ
ization incnerate it according to the GUS
tom of the boys. who have always been my
friends and well-wishers. 1t is growing
dark; minute more and all will be light
or eternal darkness"
Numerous addresses were delivered by tho
members.

PIkRRE, s. D.. July 1z.-Charles Melletts

Msllstts; s. r. Wallace, superintendent o
Pierre's street railway and electric likh
works; Nelson Gardner, foreman OF the
Wells MORGAN river horse rsnohe, and a
cowboy called "Broncho Bob started from
Pierre July 2, their destination, being
Wells horse ranch, LOO miles northwest.
They had safe conduct across the Sioux
reservation sigHsd by Secretary Noble.
When She party reached the Cheyenne river
on the reservation border. whore old Big
Foot's hostile camp is located. = party OF
painted savaGes swooped down upon thsm.
led BY 4 uniformed Indian policeman.
Ihcir arms and camp equipments were
taken from them, and the prisoners were
bound aud confined in an Indian tspee
until she next day, when they were started
for the Cheyenne river agency, 100 miles
away. Mellette, who was badly sunhnrned
through being several days on the prairie,
was at first taken for an Indian, bearing q
strong resemblance to q hostile called
Crooked Leg. but as he could not talk Sioux
the mistake was soon discovered and he
was the butt of savage jokes.
The agency was reached after severe
journey and the four men were thrown in
guard house and stayed there over night,
along with several renegade Indians looked
up for cattle stealing. Finally the case WAS
brought to the attention Of the agent, who
liberated them. and they returned to Cherry
Creek to regain their wagon. horses and |
property. The pass that Secretary Noble !
sent came by wire and was written on tel |
egraph blank. 1t was regarded by the In
dian police as so much useless paper, as
they knew no passes except such a. are
made ont on agents letter heads. Gov.
Mellette wired the secretary for the pass
and had no fears that it would fail to see
tho party safely across the reservation.
A big Indian congress was in session at
the agency whom the prisoners were brought
in. When their captivity was made known
to Agent Frank WillibridQe he sumMo oned
twelve Of the leading chiefs who compose
the supreme court Of the council of the
Sioux nation. and had the prisoners brought
before them. An interpreter explained who
the prisoners were. and on the information
the chiefs swelled with dignity and asked
for q pow-wow. The spokesman. Chief
Charger. said: The Great Father. by his
treaty. has given US this reservation. He
says We can keep all white men from COM
land the Sioux has left that he can call his
own. Not even the white chiefs. Noble and
can say who can come on our
lands--no, not the Great Father at Wash
ington, but We want no trouble. We will
let these four 90 and will give them the
freedom of our lands"
A feast was then prepared for the prison. |
ets. and, accogding to Indian custom where |
great friendship is to be evinoed, Mellette, !

adopted into the Sioux tribe.

A TOTTERING THRONE.
The Situation In Hawaii Not . Pleasan
Ono for tho Queen.

The Situation in Hawaii Not . Pleasant
One for tho Queen.
SAN Francisco. July 17.-Volney V. Ash
ford, who until a short time ago was the
recognized leader Of the liberal party in the
Hawaiian islands, has arrived in San Fran :
Disco, fleeing from governmental wrath.
Col. Ashford was one of the mon arrested
about elk weeks ago for conspiracy to over
throw the present form of governments in
Hawaii. He was released after being kept
in prison three weeks, and once free he lost
no time in shaking the dust of the kingdom
off his feet, and SO anxioas was hs to get
back to the United States that he did not
wait for the mail steamer, but sailed on the
sugar-lsden brig John d. Spreckles, which
left Makukona for this port seventeen days
ago. According to the colonel, nearly all
the residents Of the islands, both whites
the present form of government, which is
classed by him RS the most corrupt on
earth. During the Wilcox insut rection,
which took place in 1889, Ashford was COM
mander of the kings guard, and says 1t was
owing to his valor and foresight that the
lnsur!eetion was stamped out.
The present 'ule, OF Hawaii has no use for
Ashford. however, and took NO pains to
conceal the fact. lie says that under the
present form Of government the natives
have virtually no voice in the affairs of tho
country. and all the Offices are filled BY fay-
orites regardless of ability or education. To
remedy this state of things the Hawaiian
Patriotic league was formed, and Ashford
soon became one OF the leaders in that or
ganization.
The idea of giving the natives
the same privileges as were enioyed
by tho rest of the population did not
suit the queen and her advisors. and
vigorous measures were taken to stamp
out not only the Hawaiian Patriotic league.
but also any other organization opposed to
the government. For this reason eighty
warrants were issued under the law which
makes it treason to even speak in a dis
respectful manner of the queen, and about
twenty of the would-be reformers we're
landed behind the bars. After an lnvesti-
CATION Ashford, with twelve others. was
discharged, while several others who were
less popular or more deeply crimiuated
were held for ial.
Ashford says that he left the islands by
the advice of his friends and with the un-
derstanding that as soon as he was cut Of
the country the charges against the others
would be dropped. lie also SAYS that eyery
white man on the islands is strongly in
favor of annexation by the United States
while the natives favor republican form
| OF government. He was informed by one
OF the cabinet officers that be was to be re-
arrested. 80 he quietly stole away.
