The Mail Carrier From Jackson's Hole Is
 Also Missing.
 MARKET LAKE. Ida, Aug. 2.-A cou- rier just in from Rrdburg says two white men were killed by the Indians Wtdnes- day on Trail creek, this side of Jackson S Hole. The mail carrier between Jackson s Hole and Teton basin is thought to havo been killed by Indians. When last seen, he was crossing Teton divide.
 ST. -ANTHO% . Ida, Aug. 2.-rhe pco- pie of this and ~:tirounding towns are still very much aEi,;.; ti over the Indian scare, and almost "v,ry hour brings fresh ru mors. Wednesday, evening q young man named Paul came into town and declared that another small band of Indians with squaws and papoUS,'S, were making their way toward the hole Il few miles north of this town. On the strength of this Baxter Hopkins left immediately on horseback for the purpose of verifying the report. He went as far north as Marysvale, 20 miles, and there found the settlers in a state of wild excitement.
 It is said the settlers have organized themselves and are now taking every pre- caution for their own safety. Guards are out by day and night. Indians have been seen in the vicinity of Marysvale for two or three days past and men were delegated to ascertain what the Indians were doing.
 The understanding between the men was that they should meet at certain cabin in the vicinity at an appointed time. Whom the men approached the cabin, they noticed a number of Indians surrounding it, who at once commenced firing. Three of the men returned to Marysvalc, but one Wilson and Captain Harris have not as yet returned and it is feared that their lives have been taken.
 DENVER, Aug. 2.--Adjutant General StitZcr wired Governor Richards that the troops had just entered Teton pass en route to Marysvale. He stated that all was quiet. Inspector General Woodruff, to whom was referred tho appeal of the pco- pie at Lewiston and South Pass for arms, reported that he had sent a reliable man into the Sweet Water country to investi-

Nearly $4,000 People, Who Cost the
Country About T1O,OOO,OOO Annually.
An interesting lecture on "The Tramp
was given by Prof. ]. J. McCook, Of Trim
ity College, the other evening in Parker
Memorial Hall, Boston In part he said:
THE army Of tramps in this country
numbers about $4,000 male persons, eleven
cwelfths of them under so years Old that
is, In the prime Of life. Five-sixths of
them are able bodied, three-ffths have
trades or occupations requiring skill and
more than nine-tp iths of them can read
and write. The Political economist marks
that this body ofN ad,1lt males bears no
public burdens, while It costs the country,
by the most careful and conservative com-
putation, from $8,QD0,0Q0 to $4,000. 600; not
so very much in q country like ours; but
it is one-half more than our Indian de-
partment costs ue, nearly one-half the
cost of our navy, and more than one fifth
that of our army9 These idle are
withdrawn from family ties and have
most demoralizingr effect upon the COM
munities that they iinfest. They are a
source of the spread of two contagious dis
eases, which should be checked far as
possible by the regulations of law. Only
10 of the A states of the union have tramp
laws There is not tramp law west of
the first tier of the trans mississippi
states, nor in any Southern state except
North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi.
The penalty for being a tramp ranges from

prison, and there is an endless variety of
fines. Opinions are divided as to the ad-
vantageousness of Offering lodgings to
tramps at the public expense. In many
instances it has been found practically
impossible to get any work out Of tramps.
AS to the remedy for the tramp evil opin-
ions are divided. The labor colony is
tainy one of the foremost in the opinion
of the authorities of many foreign ooun-
tries. l would recommend a definite decis-
ion whether we shall continue In our
present way. If we do then, for all public
lodgings given the tramp, require labor
in return. Let the different counties and
towns work together as much possible.
Call upon individual initia tive and private
benevolence as far as possible"

QUICK RESCUE.
Saving Man Overheard in Sever
Minutes,


A story of a prompt rescue of man
overheard at sea, in which a prominent
seafaring man of this city figured, is told
by a correspondent as follows: Nearly a
quarter of century ago the steamship
Yazoo, under the command of Capt. l.. D.
Barrett of Philadelphia, was slowly feel
ing her way down the harbor of Havana,
says the Philadelphia Record. Lighters
were towing alongside, and sailors and
stevedores and lightermen were hustling to
get the last package on board, and still
get past the MORO before shutdown.
The quartermaster was in the act of
striking eight bells, when shrill shrek
from aloft followed by bounding body
and a splash in the sea, gave notice of a
man overheard. The captain promptly sig
nailed the engineer to reverse the engines
A big white life buoy, always ready, was
we'll thrown by the long Purser Metcalfe
and a rush was made for the pursers gig
which was still hanging by her falls, the
grips not having been secured. AS the
drop of the boat from her falls was heard
a shrill whistle came over the waters, and
the men buckled to their oars shouting
encouragingly to the swimmer. By this
time the powerful engines had overcome the
Roadway, and the ship was backing as fast
as the boat pulled so that when man and
buoy were picked up they were almost
alongside and the boat and crew were lift
ed to the rail by the run.
"Oh 1 am all broke to pieces" were the
first words from the sea-soaked man. well,
we've got the pieces; go ahead with the
ship" was the captains answer. Seven
minutes, SIR" was reported by the quarter
master. Seven minutes, SIR from the
engine room, and the crew went back to

Cut Down Expenses.

Cheap wheat, cotton, wool and horses,
and reduced receipts of the farmers have
not been accompanied by any reduction
in fees and salaries, any cutting off
of pulse expenditures. This should not
be, and would not be if farmers would do
their duty Let the grange lead the way

salaries we'll enormous public ex-

selves. If farmers will not unite to reduce
the cost of government, they will deserve

Some little time yet remains before the
busy spring work will begin There is an
opportunity yet for those who have not
perfected their plans for next seasons work
to do so, and those who think they have
mapped out their schemes about right have
time to study them carefully and make
changes if they think best. 1t is hard
matter to run farm on schedule time or
by well defined plans, but if a man will
carefully make his arrangements for fu-
ture work and then live up to them as
closely as possible he is more liable to
make a success of his work than If he did
everything in a haphazard way. System in
farming will pay as well as system in any
other work.-National Farmer.

Retired Earnaera.

We often read of retired merchants, re-
tired lawyers retired clergymen and men
retired from pretty much all of the avoca-
lions of life, but how often do we hear Of
retired farmers? And yet there are more
retired farmers in our country than all
others who have retired with competence
For this there are good reasons, among
which we may notice, first, a competence
Tor farmers does not mean so large a
fortune as it does for most people in other
walks of life. Their wants are less, at
least to start with. They usually retire
property, as often one great reason they
retire is really to give the boy a chance,
and in that case they are pretty sure of
some income from the property and if
they still reside upon the farm their wants
are still kept within their income.-Coiled
