The house and senate to-day,
finding that necessary legislation
could not be disposed Of to-day,
passed a resolution extending the
session over until Monday at
2 p. m.
The governor vetoed the Camp
bell liquor bill, which reduces
the licenses in the larger towns
from $500to $3O0,making an uni
form rate of $500. The veto was
based upon the fact that it is not
in accordance with public inter
ests to make such a concession
to the liquor trade. The senate
passed the bill over the veto, but
the house sustained the governor,
only 10 votes being cast in favor
of overriding the veto.
Neilfs mining inspector bill
was passed, and also Mlayhew's
bill providing for the introduce
ton of the contract system at
the penitentiary.

Timber and Stone Lands.

In the last issue of the REPORT
we made passing mention of the
law governing entries on land
valuable, chiefly, for it's timber
and stone. Adjoining the Prai-
RE and in the several canyons
running into the Salmon and
Clearwater rivers, are bodies of
vacant government land which
would be taken up and improved
if entry other than homestead
were possible. These lands are
now subject to entry under the
timber and stone act of June 3,
1878. Formerly this law was
applicable only to California,
Oregon, Nevada and Washington,
but is now extended to Idaho.
In order to have this matter thor
oughly understood by our read
ers, we extract from the laws
governing this class Of entries:
The act of June 3, 1873, for
the sale of timber lands, limits
the quantity of land which may
lawfully be acquired under the
act by any one person or associa~
ton to not exceed 100 acres, at
the minimum price of $3.50 per
acre. The land must be valua-
BILE chiefly for timber or stone
and unfit for cultivation if the
timber were removed,
1t must be unoffered, unreserv-
ed, unappropriated and uninhab-
tied, and without improvements
Except for ditch or canal pur-
poses), save such as were made
by or belonging to the applicant,
Lands containing valuable de-
posits of gold, silver, cinnabar,
copper or coal, are not subject to
entry under this act.
One entry or filing only can be
allowed any person or association
of persons, 4 person applying
to purchase a tract under the
provisions of this act, is required
to make affidavit before the regis
ter or receiver that he has made
no prior application under this
act; that he is by birth or natur-
alization, a citizen of the United
States, or has declared his inten-
tions to become a citizen,
The affidavit must desig-
nate by legal subdivisions
the tract which the applicant de-
sires to purchase, setting forth
its character as above; stating
that the same is unfit for cult
walton and valuable chiefly for
its timber and stone; that it is
uninhabited; contains no mining
or other improvements, except
for ditch or canal purposes if
any EXIST, save such as were
made by Or belong to the appli-
cant, nor, as deponent verify be-
ieves, any valuable deposits of
gold, silver, cinnabar, copper, or
coal; that deponent does not APP
ply to purchase the same on
speculation, but in good faith to
appropriate to his own exclusive
use and benefit,
The evidence to be furnished
TO the satisfaction of the register
and receiver at time of entry, MS
required, must be taken before
the register or receiver, and will
consist of the testimony of claim
ant, corroborated by the testimo-
ny of two disinterested witnesses.
Forty acres or any multiple of
this amount may be taken under
this act, not to exceed 100 acres,
as above.

knew the meaning of the sentiment Of
gratitude, he would offer places in his
cabinet as political curios. Here are
some OF the curiosities of the canvass, as
revealed by the official returns:
Delaware-564 prohibition cranks, who
threw their votes away on Bidwell, could
have given the state TO Harrison bv &C
majority.
California; Cleveland plurality of
147 was the result of three-cornered
fight in which 1887 Prohibition and
25,311 Populist votes were cast.
Florida-Only twenty-five votes for
Harrison were returned out of total of
1858. Comment is unnecessary.
Illinois-25, $50 Prohibition aud 22, 297
Populist voters gave Cleveland his pIu-
rality of IS, 993.
Indiana-22, POS Weaverites and 1860
by 7,125 plurality.
NATURALIZATION had 20,412 over
Cleveland. and the latter was in minor
ltY of 81, $50, yet through the operation
of a law passed by Democratic iegisla-
ture the majority was deprived of five
electoral votes.
Missouri-Tae Weaverites polled A.
212 and the Prohibitionists 4, 331 votes,
which united for Harrison would have
wiped out Cleyeland's plurality of A..
4S0.
Kansas-Not single vote was cast for
Cleveland in the state, but the Demo
Gratis insist on misrepresenting the state
in the United States senate.
New York-The returns show that
Cleveland was not popular enough TO
secure majority in his own state, and
that his plurality was due entirely to
the organization of Tammany hall in
the city of New York. The aggregate
vote for Harrison, Bldweli, Weaver and
Wing was 662, 044; for Cleveland, 654,-
900, showing popular majority against
Cleveland of IS, 1876 in his own state.
Query: Where is his boosted popu-
larity?
North Carolina-44,732 votes for
Weaver and 1886 for Bidwell gave
Cleveland his plurality of SO, 533.
Ohio-26. OLE Weaverites and IA, $50
Prohibitionists reduced Harrison's plu-
rality to 1912.
Texas-Although the returns contrib
uted 161 .673 plurality toward Cleveland's
total of 369, 533 in the United States, yet
he had but 90, 81 majority of the popu-
lar vote.
West Virginia.. 166 Weaverites and
2, 145 Prohibitionists enabled Cleveland
to get 4, 174 plurality.
Wisconsin-13,1 1872 Prohibitionists and
9, $50 Weaverites gave 6, 489 plurality to
Cleveland.

Destruction eff Black Kettle and His War
riors by Gen. Custer In 1858.
During the summer of 1865 the In
dams in the southwest, particularly
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, were on
the warpath, committing all sorts of
outrages on the outlying settlements.
Gen. Sheridan, then in command of the
department of the southwest, saw that
vigorous measures had TO be taken TO
reduce the redskins to submission. and
took the field in person against them
Several columns of troops were sent
out in different directions through the
hostile territory That in command
of Gen. Custer was the first 10
strike a heavy blow at the en-
envy. Toward the close of Novernberit
came upon the trail of large war
party, leading into the valley of the
Washita. Pursuit was at once made
and continued day and night until
few hours before dawn one morning
the scouts, peering over a rise on the
line of march, saw a large number of
horses in the valley below. Custer and
his officers dismounted and crept
stealthily forward to make q personal
econnoisance. From high point they
were able to see, with the aid of tho
bright moonlight, large village Of
tepees on the plain, and so situated that
it was easy to approach from all sides.
Custer decided 20 attack at dsybreak
from four different directions at once.
The plan was explained to the officers,
and two detachments, which had to
make long circuitous march, started
Immediately, while a third followed
a little later. Then the fourth detach-
ment, under Custer himself, got into
position. just as the sky in the east
began to brighten the columns moved
closer to the village. Everything be-
ing in readiness the regimental band
played Garry Owen" and the troops
dashed into the village, firing right and
left into the tepees. The startled saw
ages scattered like sheep and sought
places of safety. Many Of them took
their weapons with them and began
firing upon the troops with consider
able effect, but they were finally driven
from the field. Chief Black Kettle and
more than one hundred OF bis Cheyenne
warriors were killed. while fifty wom-
en- and children were taken prisoners
Custer had two officers and nineteen
men killed and two officers and eleven
men wounded The battle virtually
put an end 10 the Indian uprising ia
that part of the couutry. -Chiczg 90

GATTL1NG GUN LEWELLING.

Our Iowa importation proves to be
such cheap big injun" that he would
be most appropriately named ''The-Gov-

trigger is out OF whack, an important
screw loose and his load of dynamite
turned out as weak as watered milk
After six weeks Of ramming home,
tamping, wadding and priming the
thing failed to fire and the entire charge
blew out at the touch-hole. The ex-
plosion didn't explode. The muzzle of
the big Gattling from Wichita re-
mains cold. There wasn't so much
as smell. Colonel Ed. v.
Sumner dispersed Republican
legislature once, at Topeka, but Colonel
Sumner had the military force of the
federal government at his back, while
eating Gun Lewelling had but hand
full of imported Anarchists, fugitive
skunks. wiId-eyed adventures who don't
seem to catch on to the fact that Kansas
is Republican child, born of tribulation,
nurtured by adversely, with the stars for
her destiny. Calling Gun Lewelling is
evidently on the shoot and cut-shoots
off his mouth then cuts around the cor
ner While his calling out the militia
of the entire commonwealth only
to settle who should be per-
mitted TO occupy public
room was the weakest and most dis
graceful thing that ever happened to the
state, which he so lately concluded to
adopt; and, if, as a fragrant outrage,
dangerous, yet it was not one-half as
Notifying to the people of Kansas as
his minority usurpation, nor yet as
humiliating to them as the characterless
wind-pumpers with whom he hrs sur
rounded himself in connection with the
ignoble fugitives, and political scalawags
whom he has appointed to positions of
honor and trust. However great a
failure Calling Gun Lewelling
proved as a five per cent chat
tie mortgage agent, or later as
a hen-fruit commission merchant and
Populist stimulator, he turns out to be
but IA sorry bully in the hands of squad
of irresponsible marplots, sans sand, sans
sense, sans everything that should dis
tinguish the commander of a Calling
gun battery, the chief executive head of
million and half of peaceful, virtuous
and prosperous people. In the interest
of all that Kansas has been, is, and
promises to be, it is to be hoped that
Calling Gun LewelIing will refrain from
any further attempts to shoot until the
arrival of the time of abdication of his
brief usurpation and he has departed for
his place of former seclusion in the state

MEXICAN BLOOD.
The Inhabitants of Our Sister Republic
Descendants from Indians.


People of the United States have
some very qneer ideas of our sister re
public of Mexico They think of the
MexicaRs as Spaniards who have re
ceived dash of Indian blood. Vow,
the fact IS that Mexico is not 4 Spanish,
but an Indian nation. The pure
blooded Indians constitute more than
one-half the population of Mexico.
The remainder are chief Indians with
dash of Spanish blood. There are
very few pure blood Span ards in Mexi.

good will by the Indians and
hybrids, who refer to them as 'guachu.

opinion in this country. there is very
little admixture with the negro race in
Mexico. The Mexicans have no partic-
ular objection TO intermarrying with
the negroes. but there are very few of
the latter in the country. At Vera c ruz
and other coast towns there has been
some a6mixture with the coolies.
brought from the Manila islands. The
lower Mexican states are almost ex.
clusively Indian, and millions of them
can not speak Spanish at all. Many of
them are highly civilized and very
wealthy. Politically it is great ad-
vantage to be a pure blooded Indian.
Benito Juarez, at one time law partner
of President Diaz, and regarded as the
Washington of Mexico, was a full-blood
Oaxaca Indian. There are about six
million Indians IN Mexico still clasSed
as savage. They are not savage in the
sense that the Sioux are, but they add
nothing to the wealth of the country.

as outlined in the last annual report of

valuable citizens, thereby more than
