An Indians Attempts at Suicide.

Speaking about unique instances of sui
eide among the Indians" said Robert King
at the Riggs last evening. reminds me Of
an instance that came under my observa-
tioh out in Utah while l was collecting In
dian statistics for the government.
1T seems that an Indian belonging to
one of the tribes that live on the borders Of
Salt Lake had repeatedly tried to do away
with himself. but had been thwarted. So
he decided this time to adopt more than
ordinary precautions to prevent any slip up
on the road to the happy hunting grounds.
He assembled to a bluff overhanging the
lake. Here he swallowed a connection of
some poisonous herb. Then he bound his
limbs with rawhide, and taking a knife in
one hand, which he left partially free, in
tended todisembowel himself as he precipi-
tated himself into the lake. AS he was
standing OH the bluff the earth gave away,
and he slid headforemost into the lake, los.
ing his knife.
"As the specific gravity of the water is so
great that a human body will not sink, h"
of course Immediately bo5bed up to the
surface, but as he had kept his mouth open
he swallowed a great quantity of the salt
water, which, acting as a violent emetic,
caused him tothrow up and eject the poison
from his stomach. This made him so sick
that he concluded to abandon his suicidal
intentions, ar rolling over on his back he
called Justify for help. Asst happened, one
of his tribe WAS within hearing, and he was
hauled ashore, Il very sick and disgustcd

The Cordare Co.'s Troubles.

Rockland, directly acros the river
from Sing Sing. The body was found
BY three fishermen. They towed the
remains of the murderer to the upper
dock and Immediately notified the
prison officials.
State Detective jackson and Princi-
pal Keeper Connaughton at once re-
paired to the spot and identified the
body by means of a picture and the
prison shoes which the dead murderer
wore. The body was very much de-
composed.
One of the fishermen thinks he saw
another body further down the river,
but did not go after it as he had the
body of Roehle in tow.
Searching parties are now trying to
find the body of Pallister in the river.
When the body had been washed it
was found that Roehle had been shot in
the right side Of the head, and the sup.
position is that Pallister shot him.

Chinese Women at Home.

More probably than any other nation in
the world, the Chinese contine their women
to duties purely feminine, so called. Few
Chinese women, even of the lowest rank,
perform services of a mental character. An
''amah" (woman or maid) of mine, a really
intelligent Chinese woman, said to me
once: Foreign women work very hard.
Do mans work, wash and scrub and work
out of doors. China woman only do Won
ans work. Sew and take care of children
This woman had lived with English WON
en- in Hong-kong many years, had travelled
as Il servant over England, France and Ger
many and had been a sensible and keen OBJ
server. What she said was, from a Chinese
standpoint, quitecorrect, and who shall say
that her standpoint was a bad one? Surely
the care of children and the dainty handi-
craft of the needle are after all the most
purely feminine, and from an old fashioned
point of view the most graceful and poetic
occupation OF women.-New York Tribune.

marck 80 as to reach the coal mines some
sixteen miles from our city. Here it ls
proposed to establish IL large smelling
plant, the coal mines furnishing fuel for
any number Of shelters. AS soon as the
500 line is extended until it connects
with the Canadian Pacific, which, it is
expected, will be accomplished by next
September, the smelling works will be
splendidly situated in respect to rail
road connections. The Northern Pacific
can bring the silver, gold and copper ores
from Montana to the works, and from
there the metals can be shipped direct
to Montreal or Vancouver via the 500
or Canadian Pacific, or to st. Paul,
Chicago and all the eastern cities via the
Northern Pacific and the Chicago lines.
Tnder such favorable circumstances and
with such advantages, quite a town
ought to spring up around the smelling
works."
"What Is the outlook for our crops?
Why, all I can say is that the present
spring is very much like that Of 1881,
when North Dakota crops were enorm-
GUS. Seeding is practically all done in
the western part of the state where the
soil has dried, but it is delayed some IN
tie eastern portion, particularly in the
Red River valley region, where the land
is still too wet"
Mr.. Baker says that Senator Roach
will return to Washington in the course
of ten days, and that the people of North
Dakota will remain loyal to him because
they admire him. Speaking of the
financial situation, Mr.. Baker state /
that there was no scarcity of money in
his state, and that there had been no
failures in business of late there.

Certificates of Incorporation
An Electrical Display.

A church society Of the standard grade.
not many miles from the Newtons, has
completed Il handsome and c~ommodious
house OF worship. The society has occu.
pied its house but a few times, but LONG
enough to find it nice in every way, except
that when the full force of the electric lights
IS turned on it makes a disagreeable glare
for the full services of a Sunday evening.
So the head of the building committee
talked with the pastor and some of the
leaders, and they decided that it would be
practical and best to turn off the switches
controlling the side lights during the body
of the services, but to lave them on during
the coming in and the singing, and then
during the benediction and the going out
of the church at the close. This plan was
tried for the first time Sunday evening.
The man at the switches was q little new,
but he thought he could n it. The
Introductory hymn was over, and the pas
tor arose in his place and began:
II am the light of the world.'
Out went the side lights, leaving the
worthy clergyman in a flood of radiance
from the lights just beside him.
His hearers smiled, some even Uttered.
The pastor himself scarcely carried a sober
face through all the services.
The end of the meeting was near, and all
the congregation noticed how much better
it was to have the electric lights shine only
on their light of the world" 1t was about
time to pass the boxes. That must be done
in a full light. The deacons and the ushers
were ready with their long handled solicit
orS.
The clergyman read, Let your lights so
shine.''
On went the full force of the electric side
lights. Then the audience would nave &C.
tually laughed out loud only it was alto
gether too light.-Boston Herald.

About Mills and Millers.

When mau solved the question-"H,v
did the milk get into the cocoanut" may
not have been long ago, bat it was in
very ancient time that man became a
miller-that is found out how to get at
the inside of a wheat keYnal ard seper
ate the flour from the bran. Handmills,
with revolving buhr-stones, were used
in early Biblical time, as appears from
the many illusions to it in Holy Writ.
At that time, woman did the worlds
mental work, and the fatigue of the mil
ling methods was not considered. In
later centuries, and among European
nations, this labor fell on man, and he
soon harnessed the wind, and then the
waterfall to do his work. As commerce
grew between nations, milling became a
recognized industry, and an indispens-
ably necessary one. The greatest mil
ling center in the United States is
Minneapolis, and no man engaged in
milling is more widely known than MI.
Chas. A. Pillsbury, the managing head
of the largest tlour-millinR plant in that
city. The opinions of a man SO sue
cessful in his business must have weight,
sven about other things than milling.
At the close of an interview in the Min
neapolis Evening Tribune, Jan. 31st last,
on business matters, Mr.. Pillsbury said:
".Another thing which gratified me on
returning home, was the magnificent
train service on the Burlington road.
I found on the Eastern roads a class Of

years ago, and I found some new COM
