Bullets for the Unemployed.


The Lebanon (Mo.) Sentinel says
The following is an extract from cir
cular issued by Adjutant- General Allen
of California, with consent of Governor
Markham
"What is the condition of the arms in
your regiment How much ammunition
is on hand ? State the number of
pounds. What is the cost of s. R. cart-
ridges calibre Is, in your locality, and of
revolver cartridges, same cali5re What
are the standard weights powder and
ball rifle cartrides Has the regiment
reloading tools ! How many men are
qualified for immediate service What
is needed I? Reply promptly. The
trouble will not como till next January
after the fruit, grain and hop crops have
Eeen gathered, when an army of men
Viii be out unemployment"
What does this mean? Does the ad-
7jutant-general of California suppose
that when the crops are gathered and
no army Oh laDOrerS are thrown out Of
employment that it is his duty to kill
them to get them out of the way The
legislature of California last winter ap-
?ropriated 100000 for the support of
the State militia, this very same army
which is now preparing to kill the
laboring men as soon as they are thrown
out of work, because they are expected
to become troublesome when they can
not get something to eat for their labor.
1t would have been better for the State
of California to have spent that $780,
600 in opening some industry to give
employment to the laborers instead of
hiring men to shoot them down when
they are thrown out of employment.
What are we coming to: The people
must wake up together, investigate the
cause of the present condition and take
the reins of government hut of the hands
of English syndicates, and American
traitors.

Fargo Argus 1t now transpires that
murderer Prendergast was an ardent ad-
mirer and supporter of Mrs. Lease, the
Kansas populist, and last fall aided the
populist cause as we'll as he could. His
populist record, however, will probably
not have much bearing on the Republican
courts in Illinois.

Probably Burglars.

Chamberlain, s. D., Special, Nov. g.
Officers to-day arrested two suspicious
characters here, who when searched, we're
found to have IN their possession::a large
number of revolvers, razors and knives.
besides large quantity of uncanceled
postage stamps. The men refused to give
their names or any information concern
ing themselves or where they came from.
They have undoubtedly recently burglar
lied some post Office and hardware store
They are held pending information con-
csrning their identity.
It ls almost beyond doubt that the men
referred to in the dispatch are the ones who
robbed and burned the store and postoffice
at Stanton, and the same ones who held
up s. A. Peterson at Painted Woods.
The stamps found on them indicate that
the men have been through post Office.
The two men who were seen to land
above the warehouse the evening before
the fire, and who we're not seen afterward.
no doubt made their way down the river.
A dispatch was. sent to Chamberlain
Tuesday night, to hold them. It is not
improbable that these men were the ones
seen about the river landing at Washburn.

Another TraretlY.

For the fourth time within two weeks
citizens of Bismarck and the surrounding
country have been startled at the news o
sudden or violent death within the borders
of Burleigh county, and five deaths unde,
unusual conditions is the record of those
two weeks.
The latest occurred on Sunday last
when Claude Holley's life came to its end
in tragic manner presumably by his
own act. He was out hunting and his
rife was discharged accidentally, the ball
passing through the extreme upper
part of both thighs, causing death in few
moments, from shock and loss of blood
+ Messrs. Holley and Elliott Barnes had
gone for hunt on Sibley Island about II
in the morning. Later in the afternoon.
Mr.. Barnes states, they we're hunting in
the brush at some distance from each
other, the latter being near the river. He
heard q shot back in the brush. and i'm
mediately afterward Mr.. Holley called out.
Mr.. Barnes went toward him, but as he
stepped out from the brush into wagon
road, he saw his companion half lying
in the road at some distance. Running
to him he asked if he we're hurt, and
Holley SAID elm shot-it will kill me- Good
bye-tell the folks good bye," and his eyes
were glazing as he espoke. He died in a
few moments, Mr.. Barnes holding his
head on his knees. A hasty examin-
alton had shown Mr.. Barnes where the
bullet had done its work; he saw there
was no hope for recovery. The gun lay a
short distance away, discharged, Mr..
Barnes at once came to the city and gave
the news to Coroner Webb. The body was
brought home about 2 p. m. Word had
been sent to Claude's wife and mother that
he had been seriously wounded, and might
not live. The supper was on the table
awaiting the return of the husband and
son, and the shock of the sad intelligence
would be imagined. Claude Holley was a
young man we'll known throughout Nc
Lean county, having once owned claim
four miles north of Washburn. He may
said to be have been raised in Bismarck,
and was universally.liked. He was deputy
county Auditor of Burlelgh under Marsh
aboutthree yaers ago, but later clerk in the
O1SluHCIA pOoV OAuC0 uuu0E pOoGAudosoI
Bogue. He was man of exempla-
ryhabits and of quiet disposition. He
leaves a devoted wife and widowed mother
who are inconsolable over his sudden
and tragic death. His mother, Mrs.
Frances W. Holley, is well known as the
author of "Our Legacy From the. Dako-
tahs," a book dealing with the carly set.
Element of the Missouri river country.
How the accident happened will never
he definitely known, but The presumption
ia that he was dragging his rife after him
Mr.. Barnes states th4t he had once OF
twice warned HolleY that he would bave
an accident, as he vas carrying his gun
about most of the time at full cock, once
falling in the brush with it. He was fond
of hunting, and was considered careful
with gun, as a rule.
LATER.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury based up
on the medical testimony Of Drs. Kendrici
and Smythe was that Claude Holley came
to his death from an accidental shot By
some person unknown to the jury. I'll.

As a word warbler Col. Pat Danan is
somewhat of genius himself. He is
democrat of the old school, and this is the
way he draws his pen on the democracy Of
the present day in letter to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat: Of all the frauds and
humbugs since the Christian era dawned
on the hilltops of Judea, it begins. to.
look as if the democratic party we're
about the vilest and the shabbiest. Where
are all the great and glorious reforms it
promised so loudly before election day {?
It has absolute power. It has the execu
tive, Legislative, and judicial departments
of the government, all in its grasp. It has
president, senate and house of represen
tatives- It is monarch of all
it surveys. Where are the transcendent
glories and blessings with which It was
goiug to deluge the continent ears-deep
in beatitude, and turn hcmishere into a
mighty hallelujah! After bowling and
rafting and frothing at the mouth for
thirty years about goidbugs and bloated
bondholders and piratical tools of Wall
street, it has put the prince of hellions of
goldbuggery, bloated bondhqldery and
piratical toolery in the presidency of the
United States. AS democrat, aided by
ehe OmnlpOtent bribery OF &oUV,uUV,UUV VI
annual plunder. Grover Cleveland can
do what no republican in his place could
ever have done-control democratic votes
for his monometalic schemes of brlgan-
dage. The democratic party roared for
years over the infamies of nepotism,
and yet today the whole government has
been turned into wholesale sonop house
for the sons, daughters, uncles, cousins
and aunts, of democratic senators and
representatives. Every department
swarms with these beggarly vermin.

Changes of State Board Of Equalization.
The State Board of Equalization has
made the following changes in the assess
ments OF stock in this county:
Reduction :Horses 3 years old and over,
10 per cent; Bronchos or range horses, 90
per cent; hogs, go per cent.
Raise; Cows two years and old over, 5
per cent all other cattle two years old
and over 40 per cent range cattle so per
cent mules and asses of all ages 40 per
cent; Sheep, 20 per cent ; horses under
years. 55 per cent.
Tax payers will notice that the atera-
tion is made by the State board, and that
the county commissioners are not respon-
sible for any part of it. If any OF our
citizens are inclined to find fault with a
raise of their assessments they will place
the blame where it belongs, and not make
any unreasonable kick.

UNCLE SAINTS ATTITUDE.

Washington, July 1.-THE only of
fetal news of the trouble between the
French and the Siamese received at the
state department was contained in a
brief cablegram from acting Consul
General Boyd at Bangkok, stating that
after an hours engagement the French
vessels had passed the forts below
Bangkok
1t is not the present intention of the
department to dispatch an American
war vessel to the scene of war in view
of the fact that the American interests
in Siam are insignificant, being con-
fined to q small trade in teak wood.
Nevertheless, it is apprehended that
il the war assumes Formidable proper
tons the Siamese may make it very I'M
pleasant for foreign residents, includ-
ing the few Americans there, as the
hOStilitieS are apt to be characterized
on one side by the summary proceed
ings known to semi barbarous nations.
If such a state of affairs obtains,
however, the United States will not
be without Il vessel in Siamese waters,
as the United States steamship Con
cord, now on her way to China, will
be in that neighborhOOd in the course
of two months.
There are about twenty missionaries
in Siam, mostly Presbyterians, and
friends in this country have become
concerned about their welfare, now
that hostilities have broken out be-
tween the French and SiameSe.
Rev. Dr. Gillespie, of New York, rep
resenting the Presbyterian mission
board, today telegraphed Secretary
Gresham to inquire what provision
would be made for the safety Of the
missionaries and numerous children in
their charge.
Secretary Gresham replied that mis-
sionares should communicate with the
legation at Bangkok for the usual dip
lomatic protection.
