The Authorities Unable to Cope With
Cholera in Caucasus.

Cholera in Caucasus.
Reports from Elizahethport and
Eriyan and other cholera infected
towns in the Caucasus all testify to
the incapacity of the authorities to
cope with the situation and to the
filthy condition of the towns. The,
food used is described as injurious,
while the non-existence Of any system
of drainage is deplored. Saratoff is
apparently the only threatened
Russian town where efficient prevent
i've measures have been taken. The
risk of contagion in Astrakhan is
greatly increased by the inhabitants
eating putrid fish, which constitutes
their habitual food. 1t is rumored
that the cholera has appeared in
Romanoff, and the medical depart
ment has received disquieting news
from Rybinsk. Official advices from
Saratov, capital of the Russian
government of that name, state that
in the past few days twenty new cases
of cholera have been reported there,
and that in the same time eight
deaths from the disease have occurred
Only one of the persons attacked had
been known to have had any
communication with places where
the disease existed or with persons
suffering from it. The disease is
spreading at Astrakhan. On SUNDAY
there were nineteen cases in the town
and forty-tlve in the Rhodesta.
Fresh deaths from cholerine have
occurred in the suburbs of Paris. DIR.
German Zee describes the condition
of the barracks of Paris as s~candalous-
lie says they are perfect hOt-beds Of
infection, and that some of them
have not been cleaned, w~hitewashed
or repaired in a century.

] Cowboy steal the Indians Cattle. =
u. S. Marshal Fry has returned to
Sioux Falls from the Lower Brule
Indian agency, where he has been
acting as a peacemaker between the
cowboys and Indians. Some time
ago the cowboys began their roundup
between the Bad and White rivers
and in their greed encroached upon
the reservation lands, running off $50
head of cattle belonging to the
Indians as well as a number of ponies.
The Indians became enraged and
threatened to take the warpath. The
marshal was ~telegraphed for, and
when he reached the ground the
Indians cooled off upon the represen-
tations that the government would
return their cattle to them. The
cowboys had gone fully 100 miles west
with the stolen cattle. The marshal,
with a number of Indian police,
reached the cowboy camp, and the
leaders claimed it was all a mistake;
that the cattle were mavericks. and
all the Indians had to do was to
claim their cattle and drive them off.
This the Indians proceeded to do,
and fully half have been recovered.
However, several hides were found
with the government brand upon
them, and the prospects are that a
few arrests will be made. The cattle
driven off were mainly the increase of
the government issue and were not
branded. The marshal will arrest
five of the cowboys who were most
active in the theft.

Friends of the Murderer.

Some very nice ladies in Colorado
who would shudder at the presence of
a mouse, and yet are brave enough to
grapple grave problems, have formed
a society, the object Of which is the
abolition of capital punishment. In
their innocent hearts they feel a pain
at the inhumanity Of discouraging
murder by the only method that has
yet proved effective, and disregard
the fact that capital punishment,
where yet legal, has been shamefully
nearly abolished. The anomaly of
| solicitude for an assassin and callous-
ness as to his victim has not dawned
upon them. This is perhaps for the
reason that the victim seldom gets a
chance to wing his fight from the
midst of an arOma of flowers after
making a farewell speech outlining
his own lofty moral status.
If these nice ladies are bent upon
the greatest good to the greatest
number, they could well change their
purpose to that Of securing the
enforcement of the law providing
capital punishment, which in their
state has long been the same sort of
farce that it is in California. There
a man who is without money or
friends can only indulge in assassina-
ton at some risk to his personal COM
fort, or even his neck, but if he have
influence the risk is too small to be
considered. 1t may be claimed that
If the death penalty were removed a
murderer would be more likely to be
severely dealt with, but records do
not bear this out. The great major
ity of murderers in Colorado either
go scot-free or receive, as they do
here, sentences about as trivial as
given the hungry man who steals a
ham.
The only feature of the cast that
makes it of more than local interest
is that these ladies may have imita-
tors, and their example, however well
intended, is bad.

Fresh Pennyroyal VIII Drive Them Away.
Ammonia the Antidote For Bites.
There are very few people who
attempt to deal with mosquitoes as
they do with other insects. Suffer
ance seems to be the general rule.
In many places in the mountains
this insect disappears early in July,
but in lowlands, near river or sea
shore, he takes up his quarters for
the season. There appears to be no
remedy quite so effectual for this
pest as the odor of p%ennyroyal. The
essential oil sold in the drug stores is
hardly so effectual as the fresh herb
itself. A bouquet of these fragrant
herbs will usually drive away this
troublesome pest. When mosquitoes
attack a community in force they are
best exercised by a smudge or smoul-
dering fire of pine boughs or fragrant
wood, smothered to give forth a
thick smoke. This smoke is not
especially disagreeable TO people in
the open air, but its effect in driving
away mosquitoes is remarkable,
The best antidote for the bite of q
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia
weakened with a little water or, salt
and water. Some people go so far al
to press the poison out Of the bit'
with some small metal instrument
like the point of a watch key, before
applying the antidote. This prevents
the painful swelling that sometime
occurs. As in other cases, ION
mans meat is another mans poison,
and the same remedy will not appl.
to all individuals. Some find can

water will not avail. Ammonia
however, seems to be general
successful as a neutralizer of tn
mosquito poison. Where there ar

premises for something which attract
