Poor COLGATE'S FATE.
A Leaf From His Diary Found and One
of His Sleeves.

OnG
of His Sleeves.
+ MIssOULA, Mont, June 22.-The expe-
dition which left Missoula on May 21 in
search of the body of George Colgate,
the cook to the Carlin party, and who
was abandoned by that party last fall in
the big Clear Water country, one of the
widest forests in North America, has
just returned.
The body of Colgate was not found,
but sufficient evidence discovered to JUS
tify the conclusion that he died hOrri-
BILE death. On the limb of a tree which
projected into the eddy. of the middle
fork of Clear Water river was found one
sleeve caught under a huge boulder.
The indications were that the body
was washed down stream about half a
mile from where the unfortunate man
was abandoned by Carlin and his party
and caught in the eddy. A sleeve caught
in the limb of a tree and the current be-
/ ing Intensely rapid, the arm was torn
from the body and remained there.
The blankets left for the unfortunate
man by the Carlin party were found and
showed that Colgate must have died a
raving maniac, as the blankets had been
strapped to his back by the Carlin party,
and when this expedition found them
they were just beyond high water mark.
Martin Spencer. who was the guide
for.the Carlin party, and who also guided
this expedition, became sadly affected
where Colgate had to be abandoned.
The statements furnished by Ben
Kelley, member of the Carlin
party, heve been proven false by
this expedition. Kelley claimed that
the abandonment of Colgate was en-
tirely unnecessary, and due to young
Carlin. A special investi igation was
made by this expedition and it is plainly
evident that it was miracle that any of
the members of the Carlin party came
out alive.
The mountains come right down to the
edge of the river and tower more than
1000 feet high perpendicularly. A por-
ton Of young Carlin's diary was found
Mr.. Carlin, am afraid you will never
forgive me for all the trouble 1 have
caused. Do you think we will ever get
out? told him no one could tell, but
that l hoped So"
"He replied: sIf it comes to a pass
where I cannot be carried you must save
yourself. / have been soldier before
and can be one again"
This page was found under a boulder.
which had evidently rolled on it, aud
was much worn, and the writing was
scarcely Iegible.
This expedition was extremely hazard
GUS, having been made, as it was, in a
season of year when the streams are
much swollen and the snow making
travel dangerous. The expedition en-
countered twenty feet of snow in places.
There can be no question but that the
bones OF the unfortunate George Colgate
are now somewhere at the bottom of the
middle fork of Clear Water river, and
that his widow will not have the sad op-
portunity of giving them decent burial.

HIS SKY BLUE SOCKS.
Senatorial Courtesy Doesn't

While He Listens to the Slow
DrOning Debate
Senate Today.
TO P u Lie VIE w

WASHINGTON, June %. = When the
tariff bill was. laid before the senate Mr..
Kyle took the floor.
He made a general argument favor
ing the income tax, dwelling on the de-
cline in farm values in the west and the
gradual concentration of wealth in the
hands of the few. He argued that the
protective system has been responsible
for the concentration of the wealth in
the hands of the few and that it was
just and equitable that the few should
bear the same of the burden of taxa
tiOn, which their wealth made them able
to bear.
While Mr.. Kyle was speaking Senator
Call of Florida, rather shocked specta-
tors in the gallery by removing his shoes
and elevating a large pair of sky-blue
stockings to a neighboring desk. He
gently agitated the super heated atmos-
phere with large palm leaf fan and
seemed to succeed in making himself
fairly comfortable.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Kyle's speech,
Mr.. Vest offered four additional amend
ments to the income tax sections. The
most important was to reduce the ex-
emption from $4,000 to $4,000; another
exempted from the operation of
the tax building and loan asso-
Citations making loans only to
their shareholders.
Mr.. Teller supported the income tax
proposition. He quoted from the utter
ances of some of the leaders of the Re
publ can party past and present who ad-
vOcated the income tax in the past. Oil
yer p. Morton had characterized it as the
most just and equitable of all taxes.
Senator Sherman had eulogized it as
had Senator MOrril of Vermont
'sThat was during the war;" interrupted
Mr.. Morrill,. lit was proposed as war
measure"
"Oh, Mr.. President" replied Mr.. Tel
Ter, IL don't think the tax was proposed
nor defended even as a war tax"

sending another committee to wait upon
them was purely a matter of form.

PUNxsUTAwNEY, Pa. June 22-The
fifth and sixteenth regiments and Sheri-.
dan troops, n. g. p, under command Of
Brig adler General John A Wiley,
reached here at o'clock. The troops
mustered nearly 1000 men and marched
at once to Walston, the scene of the
trouble.
What the outcome will be it is hard
to determine, but there will be no diff
Guilty with the English-speaking miners.
The trouble is entirely with the foreign
ers, Hungarians, Italians and Slavs.
By 10 o'clock the troops had sur
rounded Walston without shot being
fred except the accidental discharge of
cavalryman's carbine. When the
troops reached the Bell Lewis & Co.'S.
lands skirmish lines were formed and
careful search made for ambushed
strikers and cannons. but although the
evidences were seen where the Italians
batteries had been planted the cannon
disappeared.
Tie foreigners were greatly excited at
the appearance of the blue coats with
glistening bayonets. Early today the
streets at WalSton were filled with men,
women and children, while great
crowds of foreigners were sta
toned on the barren hill over
looking the town. At the approach
of the militia, they appeared to melt
away, running into the houses and max.
ing break for the woods.
The fifth and sixteenth regiments are
under command of Gen. Wiley and Lieu
tenant General Greenland. They have
with them the Sheridan cavalry from
Tyrone, together with a battery of two
gatling guns and two 24-pound cannon.
This afternoon the coal company noti-
fed all foreigners to vacate the company
premises and those refusing will be
evicted.
Generals Greenland and WILEY are NOW
making arrangements to quell the mob
The feeling is ugly and much excite
ment prevails.
Last night the Huns and Italians raid

Adrian and entirely cleaned them out

ST. JOE, June 22.-Railroad officials
here are of the opinion that the bridge
across the Missouri at Atchison will have
to be abandoned before the summer is
over. and are making no effort to pro-
tect their right of way.
All trains between Atchison and this
city now use the Burlington's tracks.
This cannot last long, however, for the
bridge will soon be in the river, as the
land at this end of the bridge will have
been eaten away.

INTELLIGENCE OF BIRDS.
Two Stories That Demonstrate Their Good
Sense.


a correspondent Of the Indiana
Farmer writes: "Once / noticed tur
key buzzard that had taken a position
on fence near by where dead chick
en- had been thrown when a crow made
every effort TO dislodge him, but the
buzzard only put up his left or right
wing in the direction the crow came at
him and held his place with defiant
mieD, when Mr.. Grow alighted on
fence stake near by and began to
"caw" in a rapid manner that soon
brought two comrades on swift wings,
when after brief interval of CONVEX
sation two of them approached him
from either side simultaneously, with
the third one going at him from the
rear. The buzZard was soon dislodged
and hustled out of the vicinity by the
successive sparrings administered.
Another instance came to my notice
several years ago that for sympathy
has but few parallels outside Of the
human family. Gazing toward the
barn one day / saw about half dozen
sparrows on the ground greatly
agitated over something, and | stopped
to watch the proceedings. ! soon saw
that one of them was in great distress.
With dropping wings and mouth wide
open the others lowered close about il
and seemingly peered down the little
sufferers throat. After time the sick
bird hoped up on the lower board of
the fence, stretching itself up to its
full length, when one of the other
birds flew up on board higher direct
~ above and nervously made some cal
culations for few seconds, then quick
~ lowered itself, and, clutching the
lower side of the top board with It's
claws, put it's bill down into the open
mouth of the other one, and, as each
bird steadily drew back with some
force, the bird from above pulled out
from the others throat white, thin
looking object about the size of silver
quarter, darting away, letting it drop
on the grass some rods off, but, as i
could not find the piece, thought it
was possibly piece Of bone that the
too greedy little fellow had attempted
10 swallow. After being relieved it
flew away with the others, chirping
chorus of notes with apparent delight.

IN ROBES AND ROYAL STATE.
How the Supreme Court Judges Pass
from One Room to Another.


from One Room to Another.
Another innovation has made its APP
pearance at the capitol. 1t is worth
while, according to the Washington
Post, to make trip to the building
just before twelve o'clock every day to
witness 1t. The room in which the
supreme court justices adorn them
selves with their flowing silk robes is
Just across the hall from the cham Der
in which the court meets. Hitherto a
few moments before noon the door Of
the attiring-room would open and
forthwith would emerge the solemn
justices. On one side of the corridor
which by the way, is the main passage
way through the capitol-would stand
a court official and another man would
be stationed on the opposite side. Be-
tween this guard the justices would
walk and a moment later would disap-
pear behind the heavy door Of the en-
trance to the private corridor to the
bench. But this simple and modest
method has been relegated to the past.
1t is different now. When the JUS
tees are now ready to leave their at
firing apartment four court messen-
gers appear. They bear two pieces of
plush-covered rope. A man stands on
each side of the two doors, and across
the corridor they stretch their plush
covered barrier. Through the avenue
thus formed the the black-gowned JUS
tees walk, the brilliant plush cover
ing cleaning like a streak of fire
against their somber robes. If the
justices are little slow the crowd
must possess its soul in patience. Not
until the last black gown has disap-
peared are the plush-covered ropes
taken down and the ordinary course
of travel allowed to resume.
