The governor had not seen an official
copy off the injunction, but If what he
got from the newspapers in regard to It
was correct, he believed that the in
junction was too sweeping in its pro-

his opinion upon it till he saw an Off

He asked his visitors to call again to-

CANON OF YELLOWSTONE.
Tourists Visiting the National Park
at the Rate of Three to Five
Hundred a Day.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 29.-United
States District Attorney Gibson Clark
returned this morning from the yell
lowstone National park. Ct made the
trip" said Mr.. Clark, cover the Bur-
linton railroad by way of Billings,
Mont. No part of the country is better
policed or shows greater respect for our
federal laws.
81 found the national park full of
people. Sightseers and tourists were
coming in at the rate of 300 to 500 a day
and the hotels were crowded. But
everybody seemed to be comfortable
and satisfied.
THE Yellowstone canon is simply in
describable in its beauty and grandeur

colored with all tints of the rainbow.
The effect of the light by changing
position, gives a Kaleidoscope variety
of beautiful colors and forms. At this
point the Yellowstone river, $50 feet
wide, falls $50 feet to the bottom of
the canon, and these falls SurpaSs Nj
agara in beauty and charming effect
Morans picture of the canon is a re-
markable work of art, but it poorly de-
scribes the beauty of this spot, which
no artist can put on canvas.
I'VE visited the Mammoth Hot
Springs, Norris geyser basin and the
Golden Gate.
THE roads through the national park
are wide, we'll built and as comfortable
to travel over as the streets of any city
and are well kept at government ex-
pense. The park will ultimately become
the pleasure resort of the world and too
much care and effort cannot be given
to- preserve this point of natures gran
deur and beauty in all it's native con-
dition.'

WAR THE NEGROES.
Attempt to Drive Them From the Ar
kansas Lumber District.

Little Rock, Ark, July 29.-The Ne
vada county grand jury has indicted
James Beck, Willet Beck, Tom Johnson
and Allen Sherry, each for arson and
assault with intent to KILL The quar-
tet is a part of the lawless element of
white men who have been waging re-
lentless warfare on the negroes in the
lumber districts of southern Arkansas
in an attempt to drive the blacks out
of these localities.
The crime for which the four men
named were arrested was committed
several days ago, and their arrest was
brought about through the efforts of
Detective Clay, of Little Rock. The
Becks, Johnson and Sherry, all of whom
are white, were arrested on bench war
rants yesterday, and are now in jail at
Prescott. The Sayre Lumber company
operates an extensive plant in Nevada
county, and employs a large number of
laborers, both white and black. Two
months ago an effort was made TO run
the blacks out of the camp. The negroes
were repeatedly warned that they must
leave or suffer the consequences.
One night a house occupied by ten
negroes was attacked by a mob of
white men. The negroes barricaded
the doors and refused to vacate. The
mob then set fire to the building and
besieged the doors with shotguns. OF
the alternatives of being roasted alive
or running the gauntlet of the mob, the
besieged negroes chose the latter, and
just before the cracking timberS of the
burning building were ready to engulf
them in fire they made a dash through
the doors.
The besiegers poured a vofley of hot
shot into them as they ran, with the re-
suit that four blacks were brought to
the ground. Others were shot in the
melee, but continued their flight. The
mob dispersed, and the four wounded
negroes were left lying on the ground.
They received medical attention next
day, and all recovered. The affair serv-
ed to terrorize the negroes, and those
who had been warned to leave took no
further time in taking their departure

WOMAN'S CURIOSITY.
q Postmistress, Recently Welded
Opened Letters to See What the
Neighbors Were Saying of Her

Middlefield, Mass, July 29.-Mrs.
Norah L. Bryan, postmistress of this
village, was arrested today by United
States marshal upon a warrant chaTg-
ing her with violating section 1,430 of
the postal laws, or in other words,
opening letters
The peculiar fact in the case is that
she did not do this to get money, but
merely out of curiosity. The unfor-
tunate rustic ''postmarTn" is a bride of
only three months and it Is charged
that she opened letters because she was
led to believe that the neighbors were
talking about her and she wanted to
know what they were saying
Henry s. Pease of Asher, Pease &
Son is the complainant. Her arrest
was brought about by a decoy letter.
Inspectors White and Snow say that
the bride tearfu1ly confessed to them,
but she now denies this and Will fight
the case. She was held in $500 bonds.
The rural postmistress is 80 years of
age. She does not get any salary and
her commission from Uncle Sam only
amounts to 500 a year

CHILDREN IN THE TEMPLE OF

When I hear the children's laughter,
From a neighbours home. next door,
First n little laugh, then after
Breaking out into a roar,
Notes of heavenly music bringing,
To n weary brain and heart,
Their laughing, %frolics, singing,
Send warmth and joy to my heart.
How those little souls are swelling,
With childhood's mirth and ylee,
a pleasant story telling
OF memories lear to me;
How still ! sit and listen
To the merry voice and song,
Until my moist eyes glistcn.
AT thoughts of days by-sune.
Dear children of all ages.
While you are children still,
Before your dog-star RACES.
Have pleasure as you will;
BE mirthful, bright and jolly,
But let your childhcod's mirth
BE free from sin and folly,
And full of earnest worth.
When years are tinged with sorrow,
And the bloom of youth is gone,
When each to-day and morrow
Have heart-bents sad and lone,
When the world grows cold and colder,
When the weight of years is pressed,
When the head droops to the shoulder,
AMI fain would be mt rest,
When YOU would life's burdens tighten,
And gladly lay them down,
Let memory come to brighten
Your path to a hoped-for crown,
Seek CT a group of the youthful,
Where laughter, song and stoly
Are honest. pure and truthful,
And life is crowned with glory.

Women in the Profession.

Hundreds of college-bred women
have been, and are, capably and eff
ciently engaged in teaching, and a few
have gained Il certain distinction as
presidents and professors in colleges
for women, but no great md original
educator has come from among them.
Occasionally Il determined young grad
uate gets Il tOothold in Il
office. and usually keeps it with credit
to herself and her higher education,
| yet the few wOmen editors of cmincnce
have not been collegc-bred. and there is
nothing TO be gained by %concealing the
fact that the college women who have
undertaken journalism seem, as vet, TO
have had no influence in swcetening
the flood of sensational and nasty print
for Which the newspaper women of the
country must bear their share of dis
credit with the newspaper men.
The number of college women WHO
have taken up medicine is considerable
some of them, no doubt, from a real
love OF science, and some for love of
n career. While their work has been
able and their success u%ndoubted. III is
just to say that they have not contrib

Pete got down from the barrel amid,
a dead silence. Dinnh led him away
like a man in Il dream. Suddenly he
seemed to recove his senses, and, turn
ing abruptly, lie ran to where Jackson
still stood, discussing Lincoln's plan
to liberate the slaves. Pete flung him.

delugc of i%ncohercnt thanks. His lib
erator-for Dinah did not buy Pete
with any but Jackson's ~money-push-
ad the slave aside and walked thought
fully to his own plantation.
An easy-going man, Jackson knew
that by his act of liberating his slaves
he had ruined himself. He called them
together and divided his plantation
among them, settling it with a lawyer,
whose services lie had rcquisitioned.
Three days after that Pete, busy in
fencing off Dinah's share. caught his
nakek feet against something hard. He
stopped to pick it up, finding. to his
horror, that it was Il revolver, and held
