Some very laughable mistakes have been
recorded in the transmission Of telegraph
messages, but one of the funniest in recent
years was sent from the Postal Telegraph
Company's office in Washington recently.
An operator sent this message from a mer-
chant
Am no fool didn't guarantee weight.
A green young operator received the
message and, by some means, twisted it in
to the following:
Am now full can't gather light.
The message was delivered in the latter
form, and the storm that followed cleared
up the mistake.

There il a white bull buffalo," said
Frank Richardson at the Arlington last
night, (which lives in the isolated portions
of Southern Yellowstone Park which is sell
dom seen by tourists or hunters and which
the Indians, when they inhabited that To-
calty, treated with superstitiOus veneration.
Father of Buffalo they called it, and in
their traditions they have a story to the eff
feet that the old white bull killed protege
of the Great Spirit thousands of years ago.
In return the Great Spirit turned him
white and made him live on when all bis
tribe had disappeared, alone, aged and de-
serted. The Great Spirit had condemned
him to eternal life on this earth, and no
chance of gaining admittance to the Happy
Hunting Ground.
eve saw the Father of Buffalo," con
tinued Mr.. Richardson, "but whether it
was the original or not cannot say. While
four of us were riding through a grassy
bottomed canon, we saw a white object a
few hundred yards ahead and put our horses
on run. We overlook it and found the
object to be an old white buffalo bull 1t
was pure white, shaggy name and all, and
too old to do much more than stsgger along
There was silent grandeur about him that
had peculiar effect upon one We watch

Mr.. wilson and the Machine,

The report has come from the Second
Congressional district that some of the
small fry" politicians in that end OF the
State have declared war upon Hon. VIM.
L. Wilson, and have boldly avowed their
purpose of sending an anti-Wison delega-
ton to the next Congressional convention.
This opposition (?) seems to have developed
within the last few weeks and comes from
the fact that while Mr.. Wilson has n large
amount of influence with the administra-
ton, he will not permit few machine pol
iticians who have not been in the Demo-
cratic household sufficient length of time
to enable them have bona fide residence,
to dictate to him in the matter of appoint
ments. Mr. Wilson is one of the few of
our public men who will not
Crook the pregnant hinges Of the knee
That thrift may follow fawning,'
and has thus incurred the wrath of few
demagogues who are in the party for the
offices and the offices only. But the dis
pleasure of these gentlemen will amount to
nothing as far as Mr.. Wilson is concerned.
It will only serve to make him stronger in
his own district, if that were possible, than
before. There is no man to-day in the
Congress of the United States who occupies
higher position in the estimation of the
people than does Mr.. Wilson. As an hon
est, true, genuine tariff reformer he has few
equals and no superiors in that body. No
man is nearer in touch with the admins
tration than he is. His reputation is a ma
tional one, and his place in Congress could
not be filled from the Second district -
His loss would prove an irreparable one to
the great cause of tariff reform. The coun-
try has further need of his services and will
not lose him. There may be Hill-Mur-
ply machine in the Second district as there
is in New York. The one waged bitter
warfare against Mr. Cleveland and the
cause of true tariff reform. The fate Of
that machine has been sealed. The Second
district machine had as well take warning
for its doom can be foreseen without a po-
litical telescope Cldrksburg Ncirs.

Acting under instructions from the gov
eminent, Commissioner Blount ordered the
United States flag, which had been floating
for two months over the government build
ing at Honolulu, TO be taken down and the
L. S. Marines from the cruiser Boston to be
withdrawn from the city. The administrs-
ton at Washington regarded the protecto-
rate as unnecessary and as incompatible
with diplomatic negotiations between the
two countries. Commissioner Blount gave
assurance that no other would be permitted
to land troops to menace the provisional

While Senator Faulkner was at home
watching by the sickbed of his sister-in-

mother to his children since the death of
his lamented wife, the Republican papers
took great delight in informing the Demo-

lodging the gang of place hunters" We
understand that these reports have annoyed
the Senator somewhat and he naturally
feels grieved to think that some Democrats
would take up these silly stories and repeat
them. The Senator should not let these
things worry him, for only few days before
he lett Washington these same Republican
sheets we're bowling because Faulkner had
gotten couple of Republicans discharged
at Martinsburg and Democrats appointed
in their places. They seemed to think then
that Mr. Faulkner was devoting his whole

whole truth about the matter is, they don't
