| SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 19--Wednesday
evening just at dusk, City Marshal Skel
ton, OF Kettle Falls, 100 miles from this
city, heard great uproar on the river
bank just below town. and, on investi
eating, found it was caused by three
drunken Indians from the reservation
across the river. He told them to be
quiet and they suosided. He turned
about to go back to the city. Hearing
the noise again, he turned around to find
that the Indians had dismounted and one
was following closely behind him with a
knife IN his hand. He again told them
to be quiet, and threatened them with ar
rest, when the foremost Indian grabbed
him by the ooat collar, brandishing the
knife in his face. He managed to free
himself, and as the Indian again plunged
at him, he drew his revolver and shot,
the ball striking the back of the Indians
shoulder and ranging downward. He at
once went to town for assistance, and on
returning, found the two remaining In
dams had crossed the river. After search
ing, the body of the dead Indian was
found down on the river bank. where it
had been dragged by the others. The
murdered Indian was an Okanogan, who
had come to Kettle Falls to purchase
supplies and was TO, return to the reser-
walton Thursday morning. The Indians
are greatly excited over the shooting.

ment Control of RAILROADS.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 2O-Judge Frank
Doster, the leading Popullst candidate
for United States senator, in an interview
to-day, speaking of the purchase of rail-
roads, said:
81 would condemn them under the
power of eminent domain, pay a fair
price for them and make the roads pay
for themselves. This is change that is
bound to come President Blackstone,
of the Alton, says the government can
buy them with 8 per cent bonds. and
handle business that will create sink
ing fund and pay the interest right from
the first. 1t can be done very easily, and
I would not be surprised il. within the
next 10 years the railroad companies
would be trying to sell their roads to the
government"

The Missing Arctic Explorer.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20-Another of
the cryolite feet from Greenland sailed
into port yesterday bearing marks of
hard buffeting in storm and ice. The
vessel was the bark e. O. CLARK, from
Ivigtut. Captain Manson declares that
it was the current belief when he left
IvIgtut that Verhoef, the missing member
of the Peary Arctic expedition. was alive,
and only the necessity for leaving port
before the ice closed in prevented him
from heading search.

Great Damage Done by Floods.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. ia heavy
rain and chinook wind for three days was
followed by strong gale last night,
which caused floods. blocked railroads
and tore down telegraph lines all over the
Sound country. The Green, White and
Black rivers, to the south, have over
flowed the lowlands, and are already
higher than last year and still rising.
Families are being rescued from their
bones in canoes. There huve been no
trains on the Northern Pacific for SO
hours, as the bridge at Stuck was partly
washed out, and slides and washouts have
occurred in the Cowlitz valley, cutting
off communication with Portland. The
bridge over Green river. near Palmer,
was washed out, and this will stop traffic
eastward several days.
On the Great Northern coast line, slides
along the shore of the Sound have blocked
the track and no trains have got through.
On the main line a log jam mile long
formed against the Snohomish bridge
and forced it out of line and is likely to
carry it out. If it goes it will take the
Lake Shore railroad bridge with it. The
Snohomish, StillaguamisE and Skagit
rivers have flooded the low lands and
have done much damage. Small slides
occurred all along the Lake Shore road,
and the bridge across the Stillaguamish
at Arlington is in such danger that the
train from the north will not cross to-
night.
On the Columbia & Puget Sound road,
one bent of the bridge between Benton
and Cedar mountain and 100 feet of track
are washed out. There is a large slide
at franklin. On the line of the. new
Monte Cristo road, five feet of snow fell
between Sunday and Friday in the
mountains and much damage was done
to the grade. The county bridge over
the north fork of the Snoqualmie WAS
carried out, but late reports say the river
is falling rapidly and the danger is over.
The Jam against the county bridge over
the Duwamish river is being blown out
with dynamite. All telegraph wires were
down for about "a hours, SO that partic--
ulars from many points are uDobtalnable.

Out at Canton, Ohio, says the

Democratic victory was celebrated
by one Of the greatest banquets
ever held in the State. Gen. Lar
~ Il. Ncale, who wrote tie tariff
plank IN the Democratic platform,
who by the way is native of West

he could not be present. says the
Democratic victory was q glorious
one, and it hss established the prin-
ciple Of tariff for revenue only.
The party, he says, could not have
won had it ignored principle. He
adds:
1--WE stand then as O party unal-
terably com mittcd to the overthrow
of McKinlcyism in every shape and
form. Nothing short of this will
fulGll the instructions aud require
ments of the people. Their support
for our party was obtained by our
bold dsunciation of Republican
protection as a fraud, o robbery OF
the great majority OF thu American
people for the few" and by our
courage in the denunciation and ad-
vocacy OF the principle of tariff
for revenue; and we must gee to
it that the expressed will Of the
people shall not be stified or defeat

representatives in Congress to enact
such laws as Will forever expunge
