..tsit a Iio:ler OH Ye."

One afternoon about o'clock, as the
employees of the treasury department
were coming out of the big building,
two newsboys stood waiting for the
clerks. 30 h boys were small. One
was stout, the other pale and delicate.
The larger boy cried his papers in a
strong BASS voice, while the little fell
lows voice was a shrill, piping, high
lyric tenor. with a far-away tone. The
boy with the bass voice tn ned round,
and, with a look Of disgust and con-
tempt, said to his companion in the
news bushes: .:Oh, cum off; wy don
We git u hoilcr on ye?'

A rev stock journal. Wool and Mutton,
has been started at Minneapolis, to be de-
voted particularly to the sheep and wool
interests of the northwest. The import
anco of.,,this rogion as a sheep producing
country seems to warrant tae publication
Of an exclusive sheep journal. Regarding
the prospects of the sheep business from
the political standpoint established by the
proposed changes in the tariff of the
present administration. the editor in his
saIutatory says: IT might appearto some
whose faith is easily shaken that with the
harkening clouds of free trade obscuring
the sun of prosperity it is poor policy to
start n sheep and wool journal. But, view
rig the threatening storm az these skep-
tics do, it is indeed good policy to build a
ship to help weather the gale; or, to use
another figure, dig a cyclone cellar to ca
cape the storm. While We have no great
anxiety as to the outcome of a democratic
policy in SO far as it may effect our wool
and sheep interests, we are pleased to
place our tiny craft at the service of those
who wear American wool and b eat
American grain and provisions.
and who live in comfortable homes, move
made so by the wage-earners' ability to
secure American wages; those who are en-
gagged in supplying our mills md facto-
ries with goods, the present production OF
which supplies about one-half tho pro-
daction OF our mills, thus admitting of
our domestic industries more than doub-
ling. provided protection is given by the
American government. We consider it a
solemn duty on tho part OF our govern
ment to advance home industries first.
and allow our to be be-
yeloped to their fullest extent, guarding
against unjust combinations and trusts,
that are a menace to our thrift and enter
prise. Thisks ~"paternalism," but, wisely
administered by our government, the 'un-
wholesome progeny referred to by Pres
ident Cleveland is but a dream. This is
an American principle, born in the dark
hours of our early history, but as endur.
ing as the snow-capped peaks of the
Rockies. and as essential, in the main, to
the retention of our commercial suprema-
cy and the preservation OF our prosperity
ms the spark of life is to animation.

NORTH DAKOTA GOAL.

Pioneer Press: To much attention can
not be given tn ths possibility of making
nvaiInble for use in these cities the vast
supply % iiHnite coal that is depoDited
under the Ereatc. part of North Dakota.
The fuel question, we all know, is the big
question, the puzzling question, for the
whole Northwest. That once solved, no
other section could for a moment com
pete with our manufacturing INDUSTRIES
a supply of cheap fuel would give to al
our industries such an impulse as nothing
coal in Dakota has long been known. Its
commercial utility has not been under
stood. Now that has been more han
proved, and all that stands in the way Of
furnishing 1t to the Twin cities is the OBJ
tanning of such freight rates as will ena-
bic the cOnl of Dakota to be used in the
factories and homes of Minnesota. Whcth-
er or not this is 81 feasible is yet to be de-
termined; but it is evident that the SUBJ
ject is one which virtually interests the
whole community, the railroads as we'll as
the merchant and manufacturer. Even if
there were no financial gain in the change
even if VIC paid the same price for the
same quantity of heat units when de-
rived from Dakota coal as from the coal
of Iowa or Illinois, it would be econoln-
ically better for us TO pay this money to
the communities with which we have the
closest rotations, 60 that it may come
back to US in payment of larger purchas-
es of our commodities, than to send it
abroad to those who are commercially
| strangers to us. This and the virtual abb
olution of the smoke nuisance, which
would follow tho general use of the lig
mite coal. if found otherwise practicable,
are two benefits too material to be over
looked. The"proposition should be ex-
nmined most carefully. and we should use
Dakota coal if the thing can be DONE.

4 Sati.'c Treasure.
From the steele Ozone

While in Wushburn Il few days the first
of the month"; we accepted the inv:tion of
Representative John Satterlund to visit
Il Mclean county coal mine, about four
miles north of town.
This mine has been opened over a year,
and has supplied Ignite for tho greater
part of the county seat people, as well us
the farmero in the vicinity. The entrance
is a regulation tunnel in Il nearly perpen-
dicular face of clay and sand rock, which
has been formed by cutting down the side
of u steep bluff in Buffalo coulee. The
floor of tho entrance is at least thirty.
perhaps FORTY feet below the level of the
prairles. The tunnel runs under q heavy
layer of sand stone, and some distance
within the coal formation deepens above
and, below, so that the roof and floor are
of Ignite. The depths of the worked
vein is about nine feet, outside OF the
roof and floor; and how thick both are is
| vet undetermined The mine is Of two
galleries at present, with slight timber
ing, and>sixty feet from the mouth is at
least thirty feet face. The heading ex-
hibits a solid wall of dry Ignite, of great
Brightness and fairness. The width OF
the vein is limited only by the sides of the
elevation. The section of country is roll
ing aud cut by c~oulees.
We do-not hesitate to say that when the
mines of Mclean county shall be opera
ted aud their product available to the sec
ton of this state and South Dakota lying
east of the river, the wealth of this state
will be doubled in a few years. We have
never yot seen the Ignite which equal
that found md used in Mclean county
nor do we believe it is to be found soutl
of Painted Woods, nor even much soutl
of Washburn.

4 Thief and Il Coward.

New York, March 15.-Last Sat
urday Victor Lcdewyn, an employe
of Henry Maillard, the chocolate
dealer, disappeared carrying away
with him $500 belonging t" his en-
rl,yer. Lelewyn had always
borne good reputation, and his en-
plover was loath to believe him dis
honest, but the evidence against him
was too strong, and the matter was
put in TIE hands of the police.
The city was secured, but without
finding the missing man, and 1t was
supposed that he had succeeded III
getting away. This morning, how
ever, his body was found in the dead
house of one of the city hospitals.
He was brought to the hospital yes
terday, evidently suffering from the
effects of poison. All efforts to save
him proved unavailing and he died
this morning. It is believed that
he Welded to the temptation on Sat
urday, aud chen when i" realized
that he had committed a cTlni ..nd
the police were hunting for him COM

4 EfRD DREAM,
which Furnished Il CleT TO Mrs.
EggieSt0n's Murderer.

A peculiar story is told Of the
causes which led 10 the murder oi
Mrs Eggleston in Antelope Valley
last week.
1t seems that Watkins is Il sort of
shyster lawyer and notary public,
who will do any l>tu1 < crooked
work for fee.
Mrs. Eggleston's property consisted
of 100 acres of land and house.
Her brother Mr.. S6hooley believing
that an attempt was being made to
freeze her ont, homesteaded ten acres
and rhe house in her name to pro-
tect her.
The ranch was finally sold at
Sheriff. sale at the instigati II of
Watkins, and Z. b. Hickey, it is al
legged bought it III for $50. Schooley
afterwards told Hickey that he could
not hold the ten acres eferred to as
he had title to it, and that Wat
kins nor the Sheriff hid a right to
sell it,
Mr.. Schooley also said that he had
evidence against Watkins, who had
been mixed up in some crooked
work, which would send him to the
Penitentiary. This reached Watkins
in some way, and as Mrs. Eggleston
was the only living witness against
him. her death would naturally be a
great relief to him.
Now comes the peculiar part OF the
story. \ week or SO before the MUIR
der, Mrs. Eggleston told several per
sons at different times, that she had
very peculiar dream, She dreamed
that as she was about to open the
oven door Of the kitchen stove one
morning, Watkins popped out with
| knife in his hand, and stabbed he'
several times. He had very m
derous look on his face, an" v',.
she awoke, she says she eXperier I'd
an extremely strange feeling, and did
not seem to be in her right Iniud.
Rarties to whom she told this,
were deeply Impressed aud asked if
she was not afraid TO stay in the
house alone, especially at night. She
said she was old and harmless and
she guessed no one would interfere
with her.
When she was found dead few
days later, the dream of the dead
woman was brought wildly back tc
the minds of those who had heard II
and Watkins was Immediately sus'
pected. Subsequent development.
proved him to be the murderer.

SharpshOOters Return.

Yesterday morning Guy Spencer,
Henry David, C. II. Galusha, Geo.
Cagwin and George Wilcox, five of
the Carson Guard Shooting team, re
turned from San Francisco. A large
number of Carsonites were present

pounds pull, and shot considerably
within time limit, while the team
next on the list was twelve minutes
over time.
Daniel Guy Boone Spencer says he
don't care whether they get the
trophies or not; they got the top
score anyway.
Henry David accounts for his

got away from the powder IN the
shell, making the shot 90 low.
They all say that next Sunday S
Examiner will contain their pictures
and they will get big sendof.
