GREAr FkLLs, MoNr., Dec. 1S.-ln-
definite rumors OF an Indian outbreak
at Fort Belknap, which were disputed,
reached here Sunday. A later dispatch
contains these facts:
Saturday an Assinaboine Indian
named Big Mouth was shot and killed
by young buck OF the same tribe,
whose name is not known. The muir
derer gathered his friends and fortified
n log cabin near by. Agent Simons was
notified and proceeded to theseat OF the
trouble with posse Advancing upon
the cabin they we're fired upon by the
occupants, one horse being killed and
Simons wounded in the leg. While the
men are now besieged the cabin In
dams, about half dozen in all, say they
will not be captured alive.
Late last night dispatch was re.
ceived by Governor Toole from Agent
Siinons reading as follows:
Send troops at once and notify Sec
retary OF war Mt Washington"
1t is thought that the excitement has
spread to other Indians. 1t is also re-
ported that several Indians Of the agen-
cy have been killed and wounded by
the rebellious reds,

BREAKFAST BUDGET.

In former times it was incumbent
on the bridegroom to place sum of
money in purse on tho wedding night
and present it to tho bride. Afterward
this was done the following morning,
and the gift was called the dow purse.
Another phase OF tho same thing exist
ed in Cumberland, where the BRIDE
groom provided himself with gold and
crown pieces. At the words with all
my worldly goods thee endow" he gave
the clergyman his fec and poured the
rest OF the money into handkerchief
which the bride held out. In other
places it was the custom on the day fol-
lowing the marriage for the bride to ask
OF her husband gift of money or prop
erty, and he was bound in honor to
grant her request

Father Leonard, of St. Michael's, New
ark, New Jersey, died leaving an estate
valued at $4,000. ono-hali he divided
among brother, a sister and four
nieces. The other half he gave to
charities, n hospital, an orphanage, a
home for fallen women, home for the
aged. 1t is a fair superstition that this
good man did good deeds while he was
living.
Philip y. Armour, the Chicago
packer, has devoted Sl,5OOO0O of his

with tho building, keeping secret his
intention to bestow it on the public. 1t
is fair inference that he has done
other good deeds in secret.

THE WHISKY TRUST

Prepared to Control the Market Whom tho
Free Trade Congress Increases the Tax.
CHICAGO, Dec. l3.-AGcording to Will
lam Midday, editor of monthly paper
devoted to the interests OF distillers and
wholesale liquor dealers, says the trust
has strong grip on the market, having
virtually conered the amber liquid.
"Tbc whisky trust certainly controls
the situation" said Mr.. Midday. ut has
initspossession 100, 900 barrels OF spirlts,
and there is no doubt that the output
of nearly all the distilleries in the coun-
try has been bought up ahead for sew
eral months. Tho idea with those who
are engineering tho deal is that the tax
will DO put on whisky at this or the
next session OF Congress. There Is an
other point where they are in control:
Tho spirits they have bought up will
not come on the market for some time
say two or three years. Now, the Wis.,
ible supply in bond at the present time
is 7S,OO0,OO0 gallons. The consumption
is about 100000 gallons annually,
and as the trust owns large per cent
of.the visible supply it cannot be but q
short time until the surplus they don't
own is consumed. and they will own
every gallon in the country and abso-
lutely control the market"

The Nincompoop AfTront.

The Nincompoop Club, which
snubbed Speaker Crisp, would regret
deeply its inhospitable behavior if it
were to result in the triumphant re-
election OF the speaker of the house Of
representatives. Tho signs point strong
ly in this direction.
There still exists in mankind whole
some spirit OF chivaIry which it is to be
hoped may never die out 1t dileren-
tiates the real man from the nincom-
poop. 1t takes up the cudgels for those
who have been badly used and makes
their cause its own. Some times it is a
little fantastic, but its impulses are no.
Bile and its aim reasonably sure.
This spirit has been aroused not only
in behalf Of the speaker of the house
but in behalf OF the house of represen-
tatives itself, which has been outrage
ously afronted in the person OF its pre-
siding officer.
Speaker Crisp seems to have been in
vited to the feast for the express pur-
pose OF insulting him. This has rallied
to his support men who have hitherto
opposed him and who will now join
with his old friends to mako their re-
sentiment felt and understood. Good
luck to the movement.

Tho Uso and Abaso of whisliey.

This subject could be dwelt upon to a
considerable length, and yet much
would remain untold, but all agree that
the use, the proper use OF pure rye
whiskey is an absolute necessity, especi-
ally so now, when nature insists upon
being stimulated. All regular physici-
ans prescribe rye whisliey, and Justly
claim that Kloin's silver Age and Du-
quesne Whistles are most reliable.
They do this not only because they have
tried them but because the leading hos
pitfalls use them-find them the best
stimulants in the world. Silver Age

What About Pensions?

The Democratic war on pensions goes
merrily on. Democratic newspapers
are telling what terrible thing the
pension system is. The vociferous
voice OF the Democratic politician is
borne on the winter breezes. 1t seems
that the pension system is doomed.
Seems, for in this world OF changes and
changeful politicians nothing in a legis-
lative way is absolutely certain.
Presently the Democrats will be in
power. Then the pension bills will
pour in as in food. The most ad-
vanced and radical OF them will be met
with howls OF delight all along the
Democratic line. Before this goes very
far the critical stage will be reached.
Then twill be necessary for the Dem
ocrats in Congress and the Democrat
in the White House to determine
whether they can screw their courage
up to the sticking point
Mr.. Cleveland and the whole Demo-
cratic ticket received the votes OF thou
sands OF pensioned soldiers. There is
more Democratic use for these pen
stoned soldiers. How to take their pen
sons from them without driving them
into opposition is matter that must
give the Democrats pause.
1t is not the easiest thing they will
have to deal with; and when they get
right down to i. they will not be SO
noisy as they are now. The depressing
calm OF serious situation will settle on
them.

WHEELING, DECEMBER II, 1909.


A meeting of great Importance to the
people of Wheeling is to be held this
evening in Odd Fellows hall. The
object is to take counsel on the selection
OF man for mayor OF the city.
It is enough to say that twelve hun
dred Democrats have placed in the field
the present incumbent, offering the
people two years more of what they
have had for six years. This was as
high as the twelve hundred could rise.
1t is believed that the majority OF the
people have pride and an aspiration
above this. There are Republican
votes that Mr.. Seabright can command,
as he has before. lie suits the Republi-
cans who support him. To defeat him
n man must be found vino can hold tho
great body OF Republican voters and to
that add the dissatisfied element in the
Democratic party.
If these two clements can be COM
bined, the high Office OF mayor will be
redeemed from the level to which it
has fallen. Only citizen of the high
est grade can command this combina-
ton. The nominee must be not only
this, but he must have elements OF pop
ularity. Itmay as well be said frankly
that it would be useless to go into the
contest under a leader lacking these
essential qualifications.
1t may be admitted further that it is
difficult to induce such man to ac-
cept tho leadership. Nevertheless, the
IxTEL1rGENcER is unwilling to believe
that there is no man in Wheeling who
has at once the qualifications and the
local pride to respond to the call OF his
fellow citizens ii it comes to him in the
right way.
The meeting called for tonight is
open to everybody. Its aim is to find
the right man, nominate him at the pri-
maries on Saturday night and elect
him at the polls.

A Philadelphia "masher" stood on a
street corner saying "ah there" to
young women as they passed. He said
his little say to thirteen years old
girl on her way TO church. The little
girl said not a word, but returned to
her fathers grocery store hard by, got
some red pepper and threw it in the
eyes OF the laddie buck, who fell in
agony and was taken to hospital.

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure a cold? We will tell you.
10 cure cold quickly. it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. The first symp-
tomsare dry loud cough and sneez-
ing. The cough is soon followed by
watery expoctoration and the sneezing
by profuse watery discharge from
the nose. In severe eases there IS n
thin white coating on the tongue.
What to do? 1t is only necessary to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will
greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in many cases will elfectually coun-
teract it, and cure what would have
been severe cold within one or two
DAYS time. Try it and be convinced.

Biz Thing in Whisky.

You won't find the whisky trust OPP
posing the proposition toincrease the
whisky tax from ninety cents to 81 % a
gallon. The trust would gain about
100000 on the two years supply it
controls, and the government would
como in later.
If you want to see the trust jump
make serious demonstration in the
line of taking off the tax altogether.
That would create a mighty Robbery.
The Democratic party hasn't the nerve
to do it.
