Guthrie, o. T., April l5.--The scene
of the Indian trouble in Mills county is
nearly 100 miles from railroad or teie-
graph station, and full details are hard to
obtain. Authentic reports, however, are
that only five or six people have thus far
been killed. The settlers are wholly to
blame, as they became scared at the fatal
sequel of fight between an Indian and a
white man and began TO gather and arm
themselves, which aroused the Indians
and precipitatcd a battle with them. The
Indians are now fully aroused and are
gathering very rapidly in great mum bers.
No hostilities were in progress when the
last messenger left there this morning.

 MARCH.-A than the March Mcclure has
 NOTABLE rarely come from the press.
 NUMBER. Kipling, Herbert Spencer,
 Robert Louis Stevenson, Conan Doyle and Octave Thanet certainly make a list that 1t is hard to equal. And, what is more to the point, the contributions are quite as distinguished as the contribu- tors. The short story by Mir Kipling is one of his best; the short story by Oc- tave Thanet is one of her best. Conan Doyle's contribution, 1.-The Glamour of the Arctic," is not story" but it has more than the interest of one, for it Is an account of Arctic whaling, written with Dr Doyle's best grace, from his own personal experience. Of the Stevenson-Osbourne serial, ''The Ebb Tide, ''since it opened in no wise uneyent- fully in the February number, it is much
 to say that it grows in interest as it pro- gresses; but that is strictly true, and the present installment is most absorbing. Herbert Spencer writes of his intimate friend of 10 years, the late Professor Tyndall. His own eminence as scien- of aII En Is nlA ne relation, gives his article special inter- est. It is in part reminiscent; in part critical. Closeness and sympathy of per- sonal relation gives special value also to a biographical and character study of Ruskin by M. H. Spielmann, editor of the "Magazine of Art" Several portraits of Ruskin and pictures of his home and country add interest to the article. There is a profusion of illustration in this num- Der, by the way; not an article, except perhaps short poem or two, but the ar his pen on 1t. In freshness and impor- tance of information Miss Ida M. Tar bells account of the scientific method of identifying criminals in France must be pronounced the leading article of the number. It is illustrated from photo graphs especially provided by M. Bertil- lon, the inventor of the method. The subjects of the Human Documents por-
