TROUBLE WITH INDIANS.


CODIicL III the lAaL!Spcli Sssileys
SPOKANE, Wash, May S.-The trouble
between settlers and renegade Indians
of Kalispell Valley, which has been
brewing long time, has at last re-
suited in conflict and the present
state of affairs in the valley indicates
serious trouble and bloodshed, unless
the government at once steps in with
troops to protect the settlers. Three
settlers named William Jared, BID
Jared and Oscar b. Laughlin We're at
tackled by a band of red skins led by
Big Sam, who attempted to drive them
from quarter of land which they
were fencing in. Big Sam opened
things by drawing an iron bar from
under his blanket and aiming blow
at William Jared, who was felled to
the ground. The other Indians then
rushed in with knives and clubs and
after short fight the whites were
badly hurt, but succeeded in reaching
their boat They opened fire on the
Indians, killing one, the others escap-
ing by lodging behind trees and rocks,
where the whites dared not follow, be-
ing largely outnumbered by the reds.
The Indians then ran to their camp,
mile distant, and soon returned fully
armed, but the settlers had put the
river between them and their foes.
Settlers along the valley have been
thoroughly aroused over the latest out
rage and are arming themselves pre-
paratory to driving the redskins out of
the country. The Indian agent, who
is powerless to control these renegades,
has appealed for troops to prevent

New Use for Glycerine.

A thin coat OF pure glycerine applied

moisture forming thereon, and will
stay until 1t collects SO much dust that
it can not be seen through. Surveyors
can use it to advantage on their instru-
ments in foggy weather. In fact, it
can be used anywhere to prevent mois-

A DOuble-Faced Dance"

The city folks at Liberty, n. Y, had
a "double-faced dance" a few evenings
since. All wore double masks and,
like a corner house, were dressed to
face both ways. The effect was be-
wildering, and made one involuntarily
wonder what kind Of world this
would be If every one in it were really
"two-faced." Some Of the ladies with
abundant hair used that natural adorn-
ment to conceal their faces, and, by
dressing backward, so to speak, and
putting masks on the back of their
heads, made an effective disguise
Many complimentary things were said
to the ladies' back hair which were
intended for their faces.
The gentlemen were also reversed in
their makeup, with dress suits on hind
side before, but their feet, the ladies
said, gave them dead away"

Very stunning gowns are made Of cot

large spots as large as a trade dollar.

added to a bodice of color matching the

flare Of the little bodice skirt and the
putting at the bust line.

coal, 1000 tons of freight, 400 tons OF
food for the passengers and 300 tons OF

model Mr.. Painton said: Il gave the
model a successful trial before the
board of naval constructors and engl-
neers at Philadelphia, and I have the
assurance of Chief Engineer Melville OF
the navy that my system of distributing
power and my patent propellers Will
reyolutionize the construction OF ocean
going vessels. The distribution OF pow
er is the whole secret. We have series
of from fourteen to twenty propellers,
four at the stern, four at the bow ana
from four to eight on each side OF the
vessel. They are all worked by lnde-
pendent motors and vessel could be
propelled by any one of them. Again,
the distribution of power permits YES

are worked like ordinary stationary
engines ashore. The shafts that Work
the propellers are from twelve to twen-
ty-five feet in length, and weigh from
five to ten tons each. At present the
shafts Of an ocean steamship are sixty
five feet long and weigh about sixty
tons. The four propellers on the bows
have two-fold duty. In the first place
they help to propel the ship either for
ward, backward or sideways, and in
the second place they keep the bow
steady in rough weather and save the
strain on the stern propellers. The
motors are not connected with each
other. They have capacity of six and
one-eighth horse power and can work
the propellerS at an average speed OF
1900 revolutions per minute. Under
the system the ship would average
thirty-eight knots an hour. A vessel
propelled by such a system would save
fully 60 per cent in coal. estimate
the cost of a passenger steamer at
about 81, 500, 900. This would cover the
cost of every modern convenience. The
secret of the alternating propeller is
this: The blades are constructed like
a fish's tail. When the blades strike
the water they present great surface
of resistance, and while recovering they
present surface akin to the edge of a
knife, and by having two propellers the
other takes up the work that the first
one cannot accomplish. No power is
lost and no wash results from the whole
series of propellers. The whole sys-
