Electri flights at Lyndonville.


Lyndd aville, at a village meeting lately
held, vt ted to put in an electric light
plant at acost Of $4,000, using steam for
power. Bradford has also decided to
keep up with the march Of events and is,
accordin bly,, taking measures to procure
electric ghts.
So the blades OF night and the shadows
Of our mi buntains are being gradually dis
PEELED bS the progressive light OF this
end -Of-tlbe age.
Bethel Twill press the button next, and
we expect to hear soon that Braintree and
East Granville are lighted by electricity.
Then II olympus should put in wire, we

perhaps by reflection.
No village in the state has more wealth
In proportion to it's population than RAN
doiph, but electric light to It's tax
PAYERS sounds like electrocution, to be de-
ferred as long as possible. II Lyndonville
can afford to use steam power, which Is
generally conceded to produce the steadiest
and finest electric light, it seems as II
this village, II nothing better can be done,
might be justified in using the same kind
OF power, especially rs the taxes here are
lower than anywhere else.
With their steam power and using the
meter system, Lyndonville people who
furnish their own meters expect to pay
three fourths OF cent per hour for each
light when running. AT the present pri-
ces quoted for oil, three-fourths Of cent
expended for kerosene would be poor
bargain when the amount of electric light
that the same three-fourths of d cent
would purchase is taken into considera-
ton.
Through some means, considerable cleo
trjcal enthusiasm has been generated in
town, and at no distant day it is certain
that the current Of public opinion will be
strong enough to enforce the command
that there be light

A REMARKABLE MARCH.

The Resistless Progress Of the Chcy-
enne Indians Across the Country.
The delegation of Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians that has been in Washington
for several days contains quite number
of noted chiefs. The most prominent are
Little Chief and Whirlwind. It is claimed
that these warriors in their younger days
have seen service against the whites, and
with serious effect. Both are Cheyennes
tribe which has been fighters for many
years. The most remarkable march ever
made in Indian history was a trip of the
Cheyennes. They had been cap.1red by
the United States troops in 1877, after hav-
ing been in the camp Of the hostiles for a
few years and having materially assisted
Sitting Bull in his campaigns.
After their capture they were taken to
Indian territory, but they did not like 1t
there very well. or at least a portion Of
them did not like it. In 1881 a band Of 317,
with Little Chief at the head. and includ-
ing some women and children, picked up a
few traps that they needed and swept
across the country for their old home in
the north. some of them wishing to go to
Pine Ridge, in South Dakota, and others
wanting to go still farther north to Tongue
river, in Montana. This band went across
country, and all the available force Of the
United states army was unable to stop
them. They went through Kansas and
Nebraska and South Dakota, having a few
skirmishes, but defeating the few troops
they met
During the most Of the time they were on
the march neither the army nor the gov
ernment officials knew where they were
When they crossed a railroad track or a
well-known trail the army could get the
scent for short time, but the large bodies
of troops missed them entirely. After stop
ping at Pine Ridge for short time a large
Of those that had come from Indian terri
tory went to Tongue river, where they
still remain. Little Chief finally returned
to the Indian territory Cheyennes, where he
still remains, though the lands Of the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes, especially their allot-
ted lands are in Oklahoma.

faints and goes into Mysteries less often
than her grandmother did"
Prof Galloway, the authority on fungus
diseases of plants. says:
"a woman has an inherent antipathy to
an animal against which she cannot de-
fend herself and from which she cannot
get away. crow is more afraid Of a
sparrow than of a hawk, because the little
dicky-bird Is SO quick in its movements
DR.. A. K Fisher, the bird authority, says:
"a woman has the same antipathy to a
mouse as she has to snake, because con-
tact would be unpleasant. In the year
1000 the females of our species will not be
SO afraid Of mice as they are now. because
they will wear trousers. From this point
of view the mouse may be regarded as an
argument for dress reform"
United States Entomologist L. o. How
ard says:
"The notion that a quick-darting, active
ones clothes Is a disagreeable idea to any
body"
Mr.. Schwarz. expert in beetles, says:
women are much afraid of bats as
they are of mice. Many people suppose
that bats are nothing more nor less than
winged mice, though. of course. the mouse
and the bat are not related nearly at all.
There Is an old notion to the effect that
bat is likely to fly into woman's hair,
though, presumably. such a thing never
occurred. Why are human beings afraid of
snakes? I have no doubt that the idea
that these innocent and useful animals are
dangerous was derived originally from the
Scripture story of serpent in Paradise.
1t is only the very rare snake that is poi
sonous."
Prof. Theodore Gill, the ichthyologist,
says:
"a woman does not like to feel that she
herself Is a suitable hiding place for a
mouse to run to-"
Mr.. Charles Richmond, ornithologist,
says:
"a woman will squeal at frog about as
quickly as at a mouse. Men are easily
startled by small animals that are quick
of movement, but they are not so highly
organized 1ervously and 1t never occurs
to them to scream The last thing a man
thinks of when he is frightened is to
scream; he has other business on hand
better worth attending to-"
