A Fence Ninety Miles Long.

During former years considerable
trouble has been caused by cattle be-
longing to white stockmen straying
across the line to the Indian reserva-
tons. Particularly has this been the
case In the extreme western portion OF
the ceded Sioux lands. There are tens
of thousands of head of stock in that sec
ton, and Notwithstanding the efforts of
stocknen to prevent them straying on
the Indian land, lar-e numbers of cattle
are each year taken up as estrays on the
reservation by the Indians, and they al
ways insist upon receiving good pay for
their trouble before turning the cattle
over to their white owners. This fire.
ouently causes much trouble and bitter.

A Graceful Act of q Noble Dian.

An interesting incident in San Fran.
cisco the other day was the gift of SO
by William r. Coleman, the head Of the
famous vigilance committee, toward
making comfortable the last days OF
Ned MCGOWAN. The latter was the
leader Of the lawless element of 1856
whose conduct brought about the muir

of the Buffalo police justice, and the ex
ecution of the murderer Casey by The

MCGOWAN was himself condemned &c

Pigeons Instead of Electricity.

Pigeons took the place of electric wires
from many of the-chlef cities of Italy in
transmitting the congratulations to
Queen Marguerite on her silver wedding
day. No presents were given to this
royal wife, beloved OF her subjects a;
she is, for it was requested that any
funds which might be raised for this
purpose should be given to the poor. Ii
accordance with this wish, Genoa sub
scribed 100, goo francs toward the foun
dation Of an orphans home. Turin al
loted a similar sum to a local charity
and other towns followed.

County Treasurer James Bradley, OF
Fall River county, has been sued by the
countv commissioners for defalcation.
He had $4,000 OF the county money IN
the First National bank whish failed at
Hot Springs, and the commissioners made
demand upon him to bring all the money
vouchers and records of his office into
the auditors office and make report to
them, which of course he could not do
and they at once commenced proceed

ney was understood to DO feed by the

torneys to prosecute the case. These
commissioners must nave a high sense
of duty.

We we're asked the other day what
was meant by a "bi-metallist" In the
sense in which it is now used by the
gold bug" papers to designate the dill
erent classes Of money men composing
congress-the classification being single
gold standard men, bi-metallists and
free silver men. We replied: a de-
fusion and a humbug." A bi-metallist
in that case is one who poses as a friend
OF silver until he can secure the repeal
OF the purchasing clause without condi-
tlons and then he would strangle q at

innate place as a money. In the Notes

Spectator of Marion. He was presi-
dent Of the Union Trust company OF

aminer last week. Developments show
that Donaldson has fed the country

is believed to have most Of this money
with him. The shortage at the Marion
bank is only $23. 0OO, the bulk of Dom
aldson's ill-gotten gains having come
from Eastern capitalists and the psople
of Western Iowa. Donaldson was u
school teacher at Marion, but during

he branched out in real estate and made
considerable money. In 1887 he organ

holders were Eastern capitalists who

concerns and had it transferred, and
Iowa people were roped in by the show

After the war Colonel Hardeman re-

splendid ma jority, since repeated at each

Colonel Hardeman is marvel of men,

proven himself one of the most capable
and efficient servants the commonwealth

seat of his alma mater in Newton county,

on the morning train. He lives in a cosy,
ample home just as one enters the village,

of fine land. from which he reaps the
rewards of judicious farming. He has in
his family his wife and two children-three
