widow by the massacre, he proffered
his services without reward upon
condition only that he be allowed to
choose his horse.
He took blooded animal belonging
to Col. Darlington. With few bis
cults in his pocket, he rode forth in
the night, the thermometer register
ing over 20 degrees below zero. All
night he rode and in bunch of mes
quite bushes he hid himself and horse
during the day. Twice he was chased
by Indians, but escaped both times,
reaching telegraph office just as the
Indians had destroyed it, then push
ing on to Fort Laramie.
There the soldiers were ignorant of
the troubles the troops at Fort Kear-
ney were enduring, and it being the
night after Christmas when Phillips
reached his destination a masked ball
was in progress. AS he entered a
murmur of applause went through
the crowded room. Icicles were hang
ing from his clothing, his beard and
hair were matted with ice and snow,
and the jewellers thought he was the
most realistic representative of Santa
Claus ever seen. He soon undeceived
them when he delivered his message.
The scene of festivity became one of
mourning, for many had relations and
friends among the slain. Then the
faithful messenger fell unconscious
and it was several hours before he
revived. Troops were at once sent
to the doomed garrison, and just in
time to save it.
No recognition of any kind was
ever given Phillips-he asked none.
The Indians ever afterward hated him
and destroyed his cattle. When he
filed claim for the value of these
cattle, and government appraisers
found that they were worth $4,000.
But it was learned that Phillips did
not become an American citizen until
two years after the cattle were de-
stroyed, and under the laws he had
no valid claim against the United
States government.
Now, through Col. James A. George

the attention of congress, and in the
case are filed the affidavits of Col.

HEROIC RIDE OF 4 SCOUT.

The rides of Paul Revere and Sheri-
dan have become famed in history,
poetry and song, but for daring hero
ism neither can be compared with the
ride OF John Phillips,a Portuguese, ov-
er the plains of Wyoming. Yet no writ
er has ever told of the bravery of the
western scout. After 80 years the
widow and child of the hardy from
tiersman appeal to congress for relief
from restitution, the court of claims
being powerless to aid them.
History tells Of the Fort Phillip
Kearney massacre on the 21st of De-
cember, 1886. Red Cloud and his
band had nearly completed their plans
for capturing the fort, when, on that
memorable day, detachment of SO
soldiers and six citizens went after
wood distance of six miles. They
were attacked and not a man return
ed. Years afterward Red Cloud told
Of the heroism of the band, one of the
citizens, blacksmith named Jacobs,
killing seven and wounding nine In
dians before he was overpowered.
When the news reached the fort a
reign of terror ensued, and the wives
and daughters of the officers begged
that they be put to death rather than
fall victims to the red men. A guam
tity Of dynamite was stored under
meath Col. Carrington's headquarters,
and arrangements made, in case the
fort was taken, to blow up the build
ing in which the women and children
had been placed.
There was but one ray of hope. At
Fort Laramie, $50 miles distant, there
were troops. If they could be Sc
cured the Sioux might be vanquished.
Four messengers were sent, but their
riderless horses returned, showing
that the men had been killed. John
Phillips was requested by Col. Car
rinton to carry the message to Fort
Laramie. He refused all offers, but

Abortion (slinking) is positively
prevented and cured by Kow-Kure.
If thecowis carrying live calf, Kow-
Kure will prevent premature birth.
When abortion has occurred this
medicine will double the flow of milk.
What prominent dairymen say OF
Kow-Kure as an anti-abortient.
Henry E. Alvord, one of the best
known Agriculturists in America,
(when Director of Maryland Agricul-
tural Experiment Station), says:
During the years 1888 and 1889
there were ten (1O) abortions here on
the Agricultural College Farm, and
but three (3) calves were dropped on
time and lived.
- In January, 1890, at the suggestion
of Mr.. A. /. Hayward, we obtained
some of your Kow-Kure. and began
using it as a preventive OF abortion.
(No record was kept regarding its
influence on the yield of milk During
this year we have had eight (S) live
calves. and good ones. and but one case
of abortion. This one case was late IN
the season, and a heifer; this animal
had refused to eat her grain when the
powders were mixed ID it. and think
ing the disease had disappeared, we
made no special effort to get her to
take the medicine. We have pure

The outgoing and the incoming

There is said to be an increasing
number of Americans who believe
that the British get much better gov
eminent for their money than we do.
Most of us have been used to look up
on the American who does not think
his own land the most favored on
earth and his own government the
best as freak of nature at whom it
was commemorate to cast missile if
one happened to be at hand and not
in use. We still regard him somewhat
in that way, but nowadays he lodges
our missile, and not only goes on
thinking as before, but presumes to
talk back at us. When we reproach
him he tells us that property in Eng
land is more secure than here; that
the laws are better enforced; that bet
ter order is kept; that the standard of
honesty is higher and better lived up
to, and other such things. He usually
knows where our shoe pinches, both
from experience and because he
reads the American newspapers,
which certainly make no effort to
hide the national sins or extenuate
to some extent the American people,
though not SO thoroughly but that he
is always ready to eXaggerate their
faults and minimize their virtues.
Whether he knows as much as he
thinks he does about folks and affairs
in the United Kingdom is doubtful.
HIS Englishman is usually an ideal
person, and Utopia seems to have
contributed almost as much as Eng
land to his notion of English life. He
does not wear British shoes, and he
seems to think they never pinch. If
had talked more with wise Britishers,
or even read an English newspaper
with some regularity, he would be less
certain that the ills he knows are SO
much worse than those he seems to
want to fly, to.

strain. OF course, to the profession
al it makes little difference, but to
nine out Of ten of the visitors,
it is impossible to recognize
the different strains OF the same
breed and sometimes the difference
between breeds. So much work has
been done by breeders in changing
the form and color of the birds that it
requirers a great deal of study to
keep up. If the different coops were
plainly labeled there would be an
opportunity of comparison and much
more interest would be taken in
studying the exhibits.

THE LATEST CONVERT.

The straws are all blowing one way
OF late and the wind is Enthusiastically
In Mckinley quarter. While a mum
Der of prominent republicans who
were tainted with the silver heresy
have affirmed their loyalty to the par
ty candidates and platform, not one
has ventured in the opposite direction
toward Bryan and the Chicago an
archy.
Michigan is one of the states of the
middle west that Bryan will have to
carry to obtain a majority of the cleo
tOral votes. It is one in which the
silver sentiment was supposed to be
strongly developed among republi-
cans; and it was to placate threatened
disaffection that the republican CON
vention nominated Detroit's famous
mayor, Razen S. Pingree, for COVER
nor. Mayor Pingree, whose name is
more closely associated with potatoes
than that of Sir Walter Raleigh, is a
politician of Supposed populistic ten
denotes, with a larger following in
Michigan than Gen. Butler ever had
at the hight of his popularity in Mas
sachusetts. His election as governor
was conceded SO far that his oppon
ents hesitated to nominate a man
against him; but it was thought that
his free silver views would embarrass
the success of the republican national
ticket.
But Mayor Pingree has written
letter of acceptance in which he I'M
qualifiedly indorses the St. Louis
platform both in regard to protection
and sound money. He is a bimetal-
ist, but not silver monometalist, and
he pledges his most earnest approval
to ''maintaining on an equality every
dollar issued by the government"
Mayor Pingree's position is no long
er doubtful. When we consider that
the republican plurality in Michigan
in 1894 was 1O6,3 1892, and that Mayor
Pingree is beyond doubt the most
popular and truly representative re-
publican in the state, it would seem
that there is not much doubt about
the position of Michigan, either.

INCREASED MILK.

Gentlemen: I had doubts about
Kow-Kure increasing the flow of
milk. To make test weighed the
milk. After giving the medicine for
three days this cows milk increased
2 pounds, 1 ounce, and a gradual
increase through the week until she
had gained 234 pounds per day. This
cow had the same feed while taking
the medicine as she did before con-
slider this a wonderful gain in a cow
that was in the best condition.

There are about 40 veterans of the

claim attention and which ought to be
chief are the reduction of State eX-
penses which have increased from
$3.50, 733 in 1882, to s461, O49 in 1894.
Among the items of increase are
court expenses 80 per cent; official
salaries 16 per cent; care of insane
$50 per cent. During the same time
new institutions have been built and
established, largely increasing ex-
penset.
Attempts will probably be made to
abolish the Normal schools and to
prevent double taxation. A large num-

be introduced, and it is probable that
every subject of the statutes will be

Dear Sirs:: We have been using
Kow-Kure and can heartily recon-
mend it to dairymen for COWS out of
condition and as general regulator.
One of our COWS had been securing
badly and was SO weak she could
hardly walk. Kow-Kure has brought
her around in good shape. Another
cow has a large bunch in her udder.
We have been giving her the medicine
but two days and notice that the
bunch is growing less. We think
Kow-Kure is all you claim for it.
Our cows are in much better shape
since we commenced using it.

TRIPLE MURDER AT SEA.
A Captain, His Wife and First Mate Slain With an Ax-Affair Shrouded in
 Mystery

Halifax, N. S., July 21.-The American barkentine Herbert Fuller, which sailed from Boston a few days ago for Rosario, Buenos Ayres, arrived in Halifax harbor this morning with the bodies of three murdered people on board. The balance of those who left Boston on the vessel were immediately slapped into prison cells. The three dead persons, whose murder is evidently the result of bloody outbreak on the part of some of the mem- bers of the crew, are Captain Nash, ms wife and Second Mate Brumberg. The horrible triple murder occurred on the night of the 18th, and the affair so far IS wrapped in mystery, notwithstanding that there were seven other men on board at the time it occurred, besides passen- ger named Menck, whose story Of what he could learn after 1t was all over is the only narrative, reliable or unreliable as it may be, that can be ascertained so Tar.
 Menclx has been closeted with the police authorities ever since the arrival of the vessel The crew were brought ashore, and the surviving officers and men of the ship are locked behind bars in three diff ferent sections of the police station. A half dozen policemen guard them, while Menck is inaccessible until the chief Of police and detective powers have finish ed with him.
 Menck seems to have taken charge of the vessel after the tragedy, and by his orders the bodies were placed in one of the boats, covered with tarpaulin, and the boat lowed astern into Halifax har- bor. There the coroner took charge of the remains, which were so far advanced in decomposition that it was almost inn possible to remove them from the boat. Menck's story is that he knew nothing of the tragedy until notified of 1t next morning by the first mate. He admits that he heard a scream during the night, but it did not disturb him enough to wake him up, although his cabin was next to that in which the murders were commit ted. The weapon used was an ax. The crew profess the same ignorance that overwhelms Menck of how and by whom fhe murders were committed.
