property from the same canse is 81, $50,

by lightning during the season is about l

The report of the Secretary of Agricul-
ture contains some facts and figures which
present the lot of the farmer in very
encouraging light. So much has been
said by the calamityites in recent years
about the alleged burdens and distresses
of the crop.raising class that it is refresh
ing to read something of the opposite
character, and to learn from the official
statistics that most of this wailing has
been nothing but lying. This report shows,
to begin with, that the farms of the Uni
ted States have an average value, includ-
ing implements, of $4,000 for a family
averaging six persons. These farms have
fed the owners and their families and
40,000,000 jewellers in towns and cities,
besides supplying $500.000,0 900 worth of
products for foreign consumers annually.
The mortgages on farm values aggregate
only Is per cent-that is to say, there is
an incumbrance of but 81 900 on each
$4,000 of rural real estate-which is less
than in any other line of industry or on
any other form of property; and the
value of farm lands is steadily increasing
and must continue to do 80 as the popula
ton increases, which is not true of man
ufacturing plants and other kinds of
mortgaged property. 1t is true that agri-
culture has suffered in common with
other kinds of business by reason of the
prevailing depression, and prices have
gone down in some instances almost. if
not quite, to the cost of production but,
all things considered, the farmers have
probably Jared better than any other ele-
inent of the population. They have been
sure of living in any event, and their
profits have not been lessened in an equal
ratio, on the whole, with those of mer.
chants, manufacturers and general trad
ers. The pessimistic orators and dema-
gogic vote seekers have led them to be-
lieve that they were bearing all the mis-
fortunes OF the country, while other
classes we're prosperous at their expense
The report of the Secretary of Agricul
ture will help to confirm them in their
present disposition to take a cheerful
view of things. They can readily see
from the statistics therein presented that
they are by no means the leading debtor
class in proportion to the value of their
property, but that they have reason to be
thankful that they are not SO badly off in
that respect as some others

Pease of German town, Pa, members of the Princeton col lcge geological expedition that was thought to be annihilated by the Indians, have ar rived here. MT. Garrett says the expedi- tion consisted of 12 Princeton men and seven drivers and attendants.
 'Wo left Dubois, w." he said, 'just two weeks ago for Yellowstone lake. The route we took required nine days, and provisions ran rather short. We named the route the Princeton trail, as it was here. toforc unnamed. We crossed a recently travelled Indian trail, evidently made by the hand of Lemhis who had gone to join the Bannocks. Later we came across q small party of ShoShOnCs and campcd with them one night. They seemed to be ir Tad humor, but did not tell us that they were on the warpath.
 We passed within sight of Jackson hole. From what we heard, the Indians had moro reason to be afraid of the settlers than the latter had to be afraid of the In dians Tho impression prevailed that the white people were very anxious to fight the redskins.
 For four days we travelled through fight, although we knew of no danger until we reached Cooke City, where we received telegrams from the east.

News Received at Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Dispatches re- ceived at army headquarters here from General COppinger show that the force of cavalry ordered to Jackson hole, the scene of the Indian troubles in Wyoming, is making its way there, and will probably reach the place by Tuesday night. In ad- dition other troops have been ordered to Market Lake from Fort Russell, so as to be in readiness for active work should their services be required.
 No mention is made of further trouble, and with the known peaceable attitude of the Indians on the Washakie and Du- schesne reservations the situation Is re- garded as very much simplified. Coppin- gers latest dispatch reads substantially as follOws
 Major Chaffee's squadron of cavalry left Market Lake at 5 D. m Saturday and will probably reach MaYysvale, near Jack son hole, on Little Grove Tree creek, on Tuesday night. Constant communication between the two points (Marysvale and Market Lake) will be kept up by courier lines. Two Indians and the chiefs of the Shoshones and Bannocks from the Fort Hall reservation left Market Lake Satur- day morning to join Major Chaffee."
 ReassuTinG Advices.
 Another dispatch from General Coppin- ger states that the road to Marysvale, ex- cept ten miles through Teton pass, is re- ported as good. Five companies of the Eighth infantry left Fort Russell, Satur day afternoon, to be held at Market Lake as a reserve force. The commanding off cers of Fort Washable Wy, and Fort Du- schesne, U. T., report that the Indians on their respective reservations are not in- volvcd in the hostile movement. Agent Teter of the Fort Hall reservation is ell roHte with the department commander to Marysvale. The companies of the Eighth infantry will reach Market Lake this morning.
 The statement that the Indians on the Washable and Fort Duschesne reservations are not involved in the present movement is regarded by the officers of the army as very important. The Shoshones arc under the direction of the agent of the former reservation and the Utes under the agent at the latter, 80 that it is felt here that there will be no trouble experienced from them.
 This condition of affairs it is believed here, makes the situation much easier to handle, for with but one tribe of Indians to deal with the uprising can be much more easily suppressed. There are now four troops of cavalry on their way to Marysvale, and five more will be at Mar ket Lake today, which makes the availa- ble force all that it is hoped will be neces- sary to quell the disturbance

 MARKET LAKE, Ida, July 29.-General Coppinger has ordered more troops from Fort Russell to join his force as soon as possible. Couriers report that the Warlike Bannocks in the Teton basin number more than 1000, and the cavalry force now under General Coppinger musters on- fly a few more than 200. Some of the in- fantry companies will be held as n reserve.
 The Eighth cavalry covered Is miles yesterday, making camp at South Fork on Snake river. The men arc in the best of spirits and are anxious to take the jour hey with SIS few stops as possible. They will make 30 miles today, camping on Canyon creek. A detachment of Indian police will go in advance of the troops and will endeavor to persuade the Bannocks in Jackson hole to return to their reserva- tions.
 Contradictory reports of the butchery at Jackson hole continue to come in. The Indians far outnuntber the whites in the settlement, and it is generally feared that the report of a wholesale 1rfassaore is we'll founded.

 There is trick of taking off the heads of bottles that is worth knowing. Grasp the beer bottle ill the left hand and a knife ill the right hand. Lay the bottle on your knee and draw knife vigor- ously across the neck of the bottle just back of the rim just as if you were go- ing to saw the head off. If you bear on pretty hard and turn the bottle around gradually until every part of the neck has been under the knife's edge, you will scratch the enamel of the glass; When this is accomplished, lay the knife blade flatwise on the bottle and with the back of the blade strike the bottle rim two or three sharp blows as if yoa would knock the head off.

The Waterbury Furni-
 ture Co and the Elm, peror of Japan.

The wonderful progress which East Main street is making sincs the Great Furniture Emporium took up its abode there bne short year ago, is attracting the attention of all progressive people. But the fact is pot generally known that the Waterbury Furniture Company is closely connected with people who are in con- stant communication with the Emperor of Japan. And how many people know that this ruler is by far the most progressive in all the world. He is Emporer of a dynasty which dates back in an unbroken line for 2,555 years-centuries before the birth of Christianity. And only a few montts ago, when he made up his mind to settle his old account with China. he asked his people for loan of $25, ,O0000 to carry on the war, the business men of Japan subscribed three times the amount on the spot, and refused to take any interest on their loan. No wonder that 40 900. GOO such people uld knock out four hundred million Chinamrn. Prof Edward Morse says in his great work on Good MHn- nera," that the Japanese are by far the best bred people in all the world. Now that the Waterbury Furniture Company has church in it's building as well as school it expects that the scholars who have been privileged to come here. will take on some of this spirit which has brought Japan and the Waterbury Furni- ture company to the front rank. We are glad to be able to tell our boys that it is scientific truth backed by the best living authorities, that all the forces of nature are with the fellow who wants to climb not downwards, but upwards. Let this encourage you! A smile of contentment came over our faces last Monday morning when we saw the people catch on to those huge Rockers for 99 cents. There is nothing like keeping the people happy. Next Monday morning we will do the same thing at 9 o'clock, and remember our motto: We never fool the public" Our sales this July will be the largest in our history; thanks to the people who have stopped going to New York and Boston to buy their goods.

Remains of Boys Killed by Train Found
 Beside the Track.
 WASHINGTON, July 29.-John Gardner, A colored man, made a horrible find while walking on the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near Riverdale Park, 6 suburb of this city. Lying in the ditch in one heap were the mangled bodies of three boys ranging in age from 10 to 15.
 They had evidently been run down by a train passing the point about 8 o'clock Saturday night and had remained undis- covered until Gardner found them Sunday morning.
 The bodies were identified as these of J. Waters Blundon, son of J. J. Blundon, a prominent contractor and real estate bro- ker of this city; Guy Brown, son of W. R. Brown of 2125 H street, and Charles Lynch of Riverdale.
 It is believed the boys were struck by the fast western express, which passes a local train at this point about the time the accident is supposed to have occurred. The bodies were found huddled together and mangled almost beyond recognition. With them were found several dead pigeons which tho lads had purchased at a neigh bor's house and were taking to their hOmeS
