POOR GIRLs.-The poorest girls in
the world r those who have never
been taught to work. There are thous-
ands of them. Rich parents have pet
ted them; they have been taught to
despise labor, and depend upon others
for a living, and are perfectly helpless.
LII misfortune comes upon their friends,
as 1t often does, their case is hopeless.
The most forlorn and miserable women
on earth belong to this class. 1t be-
longs TO parents to protect their daugh-
ters from this delorable condition.
They do them'a great wrong II they
neglect 1t. Every daughter should be-
taught TO earn her own living. The
rich as well as the poor require this
training. The wheel OF fortune rolls
swiftly around--the rich are very like
ly to become poor, and the poor rich.
Skill to labor Ia no disadvantage to the
rich, and Is indispensable to the poor.
Well.to-do parents must educate their
daughters TO work no reform is moro
imperative than this

CATTLE THIEF CAPTURED.

Bill Matthews Taken Into Camp by an Of
ficer From Washington.
Special to Tho Independent.
SPOKANE, May s.-Sherif Pugh received a
telegram this evening from his brother
Felix, now in Choteau county. Montana,
stating that he had captured Bill Matthews,
last of a notorious gang Of cattle thieves,
who despoiled ranches throuRhout this SEQ
tion two years ago. The gang was pfacti-
cally broken up at that time.
Late in January. 1891, It was learned that
Bill Matthews and John Miles, two of the
most desperate members Of tho gang we're
in hiding twelve lies south of this city,
and Deputy Felix PuRh went out TO arrest
them. They were ready for him and
on his arrival opened fire with Winchesters,
Pugh received a bullet through tho arm.
He returned the fire. and the outlaws took
to the brush. 1t was growing dark. and
they mounted their horses and escaped.
On the following morning Miles was
found dead in the road. with his horse lying
dead on top of him. Miles had bullet
through his body and tho horse had alse
been shot. Tho manner of Miles death
has always been mystery. II Is supposed
some rancher who had suffered from the
depredAtions of the gang fred upon the
outlaws 40 they passed along tho road.
Matthews escaped into British Columbia,
but subsequently crossed the line into
Montana, where he has been employed as
cowboy on the ranch where he was cap
tursd. Tho authorities here learned of
his whereabouts and procured Tsquisition
papers before tempting tho arrest. sev-
sral other members of the gang are now in
tho penitentiary.

bill were out Of order. The house then
went into committee on the bill. Hon.

vided that on and after tho appointed day
