HUNTING AN APACHE.
n Leaf Taken from Army Life in Western
Arizona.

Arizona.
The following is part of letter
from Il former Indianapolitan, the wife
OF an army officer, who is stationed at
Fort Apache, a. T., and it gives some
idea of army life rs it is found in
those remote regions, says the Min
ncapolis Journal. The captain (hcr
husband) is away on a practice march
lie has been prepared to leave on an
hours notice since the middle of July.
lie only takes, for his company, fifteen
days rations. so he may not be gone so
very long. An Apache Indian named
Kid murdered another eight years
ago or SO. He was captured, tried and
sentenced to Yuma. On the way TO
prison he killed the sheriff and two
assistants and escaped, and they have
been trying to catch him ever since.
HE makes Mexico his headquarters,
but stirs us up every little while by n
raid, by stealing Il girl or two and
Strengthening somebody. He was re-
ported near here Il few days ago; so
three troops of cavalry are out, in de-
tachments, securing the country for
him. The captain, under orders to
march east TO Mount Ord for the an
nual encampmcnt, was suddenly sent
west in order to establish supply
camp for cavalry. Kid is probably in
Mexico by now, but he could lead them
a merry dance were he in the neighbor-
hood.
''Hc could stand behind rock or
cactus within stones throw of the
whole regiment of cavalry seeking him

could run his pony till it dropped, seize
anothcr-thc whole of Arizona is his
livery stable-or, if no other was con-
venient, he could, without troubling
himself in the least, walk scventy-five
miles in twenty-four hours, which is
more than cavalry horse can do, to
say nothing of a white man. These In
dams are wonderful.
eve know of one case where man
and his wife made eighty miles in eleven
hours-walliing- started back the
next day. They scoop out sand in places
known but to themselves, find water,
put back the sand, and no white man
suspects its vicinity. They live on the
wild beans and certain roots which
they dig, and so do not have to carry
food, cooking utensils or betray them
selves by fire. a cavalry horse has
to carry the rider, carbine, ammuni-
ton, blankets, overcoats, cantccn, cook
ing utensils and rations; then another
has to go along to carry forage for the
horse. Indian ponies live off the coun-
try, so that looking for the Kid with
every Indian on the reservation his
friend and not yours, is worse than the
, proverbial needle in the haystack.

Novelty In SMIndlin~

A young gentleman applied the other
day to a clergyman after church for
half sovereign that he had dropped
into the collection plate by mistake for
siXpcnce. He could not afford to give
half Il sovereign, he said, and should be
glad to have his nine and sixpence back
again. Curiously enough, when one
considers how prone is the natural man
to be generous at other peoples ex-
pensc, the clergyman declined to ac-
cedc to his request. lie examined tho
contents of the collecting plate and
found only very few gold pieces, the
donors of which were all identified.
The device in question therefore ap-
pears to be novelty in the art of
swindling and must be added to tho
long list OF plants

A PATERNAL TOWN.
Where Everything Is Ordered and Done
by Public Signal.

Where Everything Is Ordered and Done
by Public Signal.
The village of New Hartford. in Con-
necticut, has oneFaatter Sf town pride;
the sails of the Vigilant were made
there. The duck mills where they
were made are the sole industry of tho
place, and they are managed with a
sort of paternalism. For fully two gen
crations, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
it has been the custom of the managers
to look after the comfort of the en-
ploycs in variety of little ways on the
theory that better work and moro of it
is produced thereby. One of the pater-
nal institutions that has been estab-
lished is the potato bell" at 11:So
o'clock every morning the big bell OF
the mills rings loudly. That is the "po-
tato bell"
The wives of the workmen know that
when that bell rings it is time to put
the potatoes on to boil for dinner. No
worlSman's wife would think of putting
on the potatoes until the bell rings, and
Us consequence dinners are always on
time when the men reach home. There
is no excuse, therefore, for any man be-
ing late on returning to work when the
noon spell is ended. The watchman of
the mill is compelled to ring tho bell
every hour of the night to make sure
that he is awake and doing his duty.
Nobody in the village is disturbed by
the night bell, it is said, although visit
ors are kept awake by it.

Chicago, Oct. GA special to the

Senator Sherman, despite his years,
will, in al! probability be an active
participant in the Republican national
convention of 1896. The role will be
a new one for the senator. In the
conventions of 1880, 1884 and 1888 Of
his party he was n candidate for pres
ident, either active OF passive, and Of
necessity did not attend the conven-
ton. He was a silent figure in the
proceedings of 1892. His announce
ment now that he is not a candidate
on account of his years; thGS he has
at last given up the ambition of his
life and is now outspoken for Nc
Kinley is made for a purpose. The
senator has been asked by friends Of
Mckinley to be C.re of the delegates
at large at next years convention,
and will, in all probability, be re,
quested to present the name of Ohio's
fayOrite son,
