The officers Of the editorial associa.
tion are now preparing the program
for the meeting here in August. The
meeting will last three or four days,
and we can safely say that many sub
jects of interest and Importance will
be discussed The programme fur
nished by the citizens Of Ketchum
will be devoted to recreation and
pleasure. The railroads will furnish
free transportation to the members of
the press and their families, the en-
tcrtainment at Ketchum will also be
complimentary, and the meeting will
probably conclude with an excursion
to the City Of the Saints and an ex-
animation Of the immense copper
plant being erected there now. Every
editor in the state should make it a
point to be present at this meeting

Parse Jones tells this story Of an
old missionary and Dakota Indians
The old man in his daily talks had
gotten them interested in the heaven
ly kingdom. One day he told them
Of the glories and beauties of the
kingdom. He spoke OF the New
Jerusalem with its lofty spires and
golden streets. He told them of the
River whose waters make glad the
City OF the Living God. He told them
that there was no night there and
sickness and sorrow were unknown.
He grew eloquent from the inspira-
tion Of his theme, and when he was
at his climax Of glories and beauties
and was expecting a general response
in acceptance of his truths. he was
startled BY an interruption from an old
chief, most attentive listener, who
asked is there any big eat'm up
there; tell'm heap about big eat'm, :
and all the tribe grunted assent
The old man saw his pearls crushed
in the twlnkling Of an eye, and left for
fresh fields and pastures green where
men do not want TO liye by bread
alone.

Indian soldiers Not "a Success.

The experiment initiated by ex-Secre-
tary Proctor of assisting in the civilizing
of the Indians by their enlistment in the
army has had two years trial and has
failed. At its inception it was hoped
that the movement would receive the
sanction and support of congress, but
the hope has not been fulfilled The pol
icy has not been abandoned by the de-
partment, Notwithstanding the absence
of congress. onal encouragement, bnt is
slowly dying of inanition. owing to the
fact that the Indians who took advan-
tagc of the opportunity of entering the
army are leaving it at the expiration
of their terms of enlistment. and there
are no new cnlistments. Many of the
Indians took advantage of the law per-
hitting them to purchase their discharge.
There We're about 100 Indians in the
army, and this number has been reduced
by the disbandment of two Indian troops,
one at Fort Walla Walla and the other
at Fort Reno, which has dwindled to
less than 20 lnen each. There are about
II Indian companies, averaging 30 men
each, still i'll the service, and they may
be so reduced by natural causes as to re-
quire further consolidation
An officer of high rank says these COM
panies will certainly not be mustered
out, and that the department will do
nothing to discourage further enlist
mcnt. 1t was settled, however that the
experiment as at present conducted is a
failure, and that the only possible solu-
ton of the Indian soldier problem is
their organization into an auxiliary
branch of the army, modelled after the
system employed by the British army in
the matter of the native troops of India

OF course the solution of the decline of
the river can easily be found. 1t is in
the railroad The interior country for
merly entirely supplied by river steam
ers and wagons, is now entirely supplied
by the railroads. The business is now
so big that the rivers would find it ex-
ceedingly difficult to handle it if called
upon to do SO. The positions of the riy-
er and railroads are best seen by the
business done. The railroads handle an
average of 10000 loaded cars per week.
Averaging at 90 tons per car, this means
100000 tons per week. Last week the
river interests had an exceptionally
heavy trade, handling about 2S, 900 tons.
The size of a feet capable of handling
the business of the st. Louis of today
can be left to the imagination.-St.
Louis Letter.

For perhaps five minutes the lions

finish each other. The fight lasted full
quarter of an hour. During the first
10 minutes it was a pretty even thing,
as near as I'could judge, though as they
fought over at least half an acre Of
ground and were sometimes hidden by
the bushes it was hard to tell which was
having the best of it.
At length one Of them began to whine
and howl. and 1 plainly heard his bones

more of the lions at close quarters. l

then crawled out and started for camp,

After dinner I took six OF the black
fellows and returned to the spot, hoping
to secure revenge for the way had been
treated. Just in front of the cave, out
of which hyena bolted as we came up,
there were dozen tufts of hair to prove
the severity of the conflict between the
lions. l sent the men around the hill to
the left to beat up, and presently the
lioness and her cub were routed out
She was too cowardly to make stand,
, but got fair shot as she skulked away
and bowled her over. The cub turned
and ran back to a mass of rock, and then
the male lion came limping out. He
neither roared nor growled, but tried to
crawl away, and ran forward and shot
him at distance of only so feet.
Poor old chap! 1t was no wonder he
had no fight in him. His left fore leg
was useless, one eye torn out, and he
was chewed to strings. Out of curiosity
gave his body close examination, and
had he been fed through thrashing ma
chine he would not have come out in
much worse shape. The wonder was
that he was still alive. had not seen
the lioness mix in the fight, but when
we came to look her over we found that
she had received many bites and had Il
portion of her tongue bitten 6ff. When
she saw her liege lord getting the worst
OF 1t, she had probably gone to his res
cue. but the lion which came up was
more than enough for both Of them.
When we had finished the male, we be-
gan searching for the cub and soon came
upon him i'll Il lair among the rocks. We
had brought ropes and net, and after
an hours work we made him captive.
He was about the size of full grown
Newfoundland dog and had five or six
teeth. He was eventually sent to the
Cape and from thence to London and is
probably alive yet. In SHINING the male
we found a bullet fattened against the
right shoulder blade. The missile was
from a sporting rife and the wound so
nicely healed up that we found the bull
let quite by accident. 1t had probably
tickled the old fellow bit, but he would
have run away after so bullets of that
caliber had been fired into him.

Suicide Statistics.

Suicide statistics, as recently published
by an English doctor, show that taking
the entire population of the world there
is an attempt made every three minutes
OH an average by some one to take his
own life. 1t seems that Saxony is the
quarter of the globe where suicide is the
most popular, the ratio there being 400
suicides in 100000 deaths. Portugal,
on the other hand, occupies the first
place for infreQuency Of self destruction,
the proportion there being only 10 to
100000
