over the determination of the infamous Dalton
gang. and to-day it is excited over the an
nouncement of the appointment of William

that he will square himself with all the enc
mics of his family under the guise Of the law.

ing horse. The horse alleged to have been
stolen Is tho one Emmett Dalton rode into
CoffeyviIle on the morning of Oct. 6, when he
and others were killed. It is not thought that

The Annexation of Canada.

Great preparations are being made in Mon
treal, Canada, for the meeting which has been
called for Tuesday, Jan. 2, 1888 when ex-
Premier Mercier will come out squsroly either
i'll favor of annexation or for independence.
The meeting is to be held at Sohrmer Park, the
auditorium Of which seats more than 5000
persons. but it is not expected that this will
half accommodate the crowd that will be pres.
ent. Delegates have promised to be present
from all parts OF the dominion.
1t is generally considered that tho time has
come when colonial emancipation has become q
necessity to insure the progress and prosperity
of the population. and should Mr.. Mercier
place himself at the head of party either in
favor of independence or annexation he is sure
to attract powerful following.

Denounced Freemasonry.

At the Christmas reception of the Pope to his
Cardinals, in Rome, Leo gave utterance to some
significant remarks. He said that the signs
Of gathering storm were visible to all OBJ
servers of moral and religious conditions. The
European situation was pregnant with ruin
and disaster, aud these conditions could only
be brought to an end by the healing virtues Of
the Church, which herself was to be violently
assaulted.
He referred to the Freemasons, who he con-
demned as malignant sect who were never
true to the people. but who, unfortunately,
were supported by the Italian Government.

The movements of the agitators for this form
of Government arc being closely watched and
the Government is prepared to arrest certain

regarded as the leader of the plot against the
Government, and the first blow probably will
be struck at him.
At present the Monarchists seen, to be direct
ing their efforts chiefly to tanning the excite

of jealousy, fear, aud suspicion. The news
from various parts of France is not very reas-

strengthen the hopes of its enemies. The
many thousands of small proprietors and others
who lost their money in the Panama enterprise
are said to be more disguised with the rev. la
lions of venality and treachory than they were
distressed by the loss of their money, and con-
siderable number of them are inclined to hold
Republican institutions rather than individuals

Setting Type with Both Hands.

A foreman of a composing room has
conceived the idea of using both hands
in picking up and setting the types in
the stick. Ever since the composing
stick was known the left hand has held
the stick while the thumb pressed each
successive type into place against the
pieces already in line. A one armed
compositor came to the foreman's room,
and with a single hand set almost as
much type as his fellow laborers did
with two.
After thinking this over the foreman
worked out two inventions, by which he
proposes to use both hands at once. The
first is little mechanical device for tax
ing the place of the thumb, and the Sec
ond is an attachment by which the stick
can be put in convenient position for
receiving the type without being in the
way of any subsequent operations.
Having got so far, the foreman found
that his next step was to train the left
hand. This was by no means easy, but
after patience and practice a consider
able degree of proficiency was attained,
and he added 60 per cent. to his former
He believes a still further
advance is practicable, but is confident
that any compositor by the use of his
inventions will be able to add at least so
per cent. to his speed.-Pittsburg Dis

Indian Voters in Oklahoma.

The fact that the Indian can vote if
he lives sin severalty" and pays taxes
like any other citizen comes up at odd
times to bother new states and terri
tories. In 1859 it raised a great row in
Minnesota. The legislature having en-
acted that Indians, whether ON a reser-
walton or not, who had taken certain
steps in civilization, such as dressing
like white men and wearing their hair
ditto, should have the right to vote, Ole
Cullen, an Indian agent, promptly cut
the hair of all those in his charge, put
breeches on them and marched them to
the polls.
Among the humors of the next cam
paign was a dialogue like this: "Heh,
who cut your hair?" Cullen g. Co."
Now Judge John Dills and other law
yers declare that the Indians in Oklaho-
ma will be entitled to vote at the COM
ing elections. They say the law pro-
vides that Indians taking land in sever
atty have the same right of franchise as
any citizen, and if this opinion be good
law the candidates will have $500 In
dams to buttonhole. If the Indians vote
it is likely to make a great difference in
the congressional contest.

A French Funeral Custom.

A funeral custom in vogue at present
is for the mourners at the obsequies of
some person of limited means to follow
the hearse in an omnibus. To be sure
it is a very solemn vehicle, all black,
with Omnibus Funeraire" inscribed in
large silver letters on either side, so that
the careless outsider shall not bounce
into the midst of the mourning multi
tude, but on the whole it seems to belit-
tie the dignity of grief. However, the
average Partisan does not specially en-
joy funerals unless they are grand Off
cial functions, when the crowd that
lines the streets has most unaffectedly
good time and IS unsparing of lively and
frivolous criticisms on every detail of
the affair-Paris Letter.

Hawaii is chiefly famous for its vol
canoes. Kilauea, the largest active vol
cano in the world, lies on the side of the
mountain Mauna Loa at an elevation of
1000 feet. We usually think of vol
cano as a cone, but Kilauea is rather a
great sunken pit in the midst of vaf
desolate plain, which slopes up gently to
the summit of the mountain. 1t is pit
of no less than nine miles in circumfer-
ence and the area of its lowest level is
six square miles. The level varies, but
it is at present 600 feet below the sur
rounding country, and is reached by
steep descent down the sheer face of
precipice which extends right around
the crater and, as it were, walls it in.
Within the crater, toward its southern
end, is an inner crater with one or more
lakes of fire, called Halemaumau, or
House of Everlasting Burnings, which
constitute the true chimney of the vol
cano. Here Kilauea exhibits its cease

ON springs Long Since Abandoned.

Before the year 1900 oil springs were
known to exist along the valley of Oil
creek. The Indians of that section used
the oil for medicinal and other purposes.
Remains of wells and pits are to be
found in that vicinity. Some of these
have been cribbed, the timber showing
the marks OF edged tools, and are sunk
to the depth of twenty feet or more. In
these pits and wells, which are now
nearly all filed up, trees over several
hundred years old have been discovered
growing. The Indians do not know who
dug these wells, and the presumption is
that they were dug by prehistoric
race.-Inteiview in Chicago Tribune.

Much annoyance is frequently occa-
stoned by persons getting keys for the
purpose OF viewing unoccupied houses
and failing to return them. In this con-
nectlon may mention an incident that
happened year or two ago. A well
dressed gentleman called at our Office
for the key of house to look over it.

and the house was subsequently let to

About twelve months afterward,
while repairing drain, the floor of one
OF the rooms had to be removed, when a
quantity of watches, rings and other
jewellery was found concealed under the
Jolsts. These were proved to be the pro-

been suspected of the robbery, but was
allowed to escape from want of sufficient
evidence to convict him. AS he was

sidered it impolitic to attempt to remove
