~ A"NhSi uiSO vi SlSkueSS on the
plains and only the children sur
vived the journey and they were
dependant upon the charity of the
fellow travellers while wounded
nigh unto death. The fine horses
were driven into the mountains.
The assembled emigrants followed
the stolen stock and the thieves.
They were a determined force.
The rendezvous of the Indian
thieves and murderers was dis
covered in sheltered little valley
The stolen stock was there SEEM
ingly guarded by hundreds of
Indians. The spirit of revenge
and the hope of recovering the
stolen property for the needy
owners impelled the pursuers to
attempt to rescue the stock. They
charged into the canyon. but they
were met by an overwhelming
force. Well mounted Indians
made an effort to cut off the re-
treat of the little attacking party.
One brave man by the name Of
Armstrong was shot. He fell
MORALLY wounded. He begged his
friends to fly and save themselves,
and his last words were a plea for
the friends to protect his family.
Poor Armstrong was dispatched
and cut to pieces. His wife and
children became burden on sorely
tried but willing friends. The
father was buried in a coffin made
from a wagon box and another
mound was left behind may be
numbered, but never to be named,
by those who came behind.
| When the ford at Three Islands
was reached the water in Snake
river was high. The wagon boxes
were propped up to the top Of the
standards The first man to drive
in was Joseph Morris. The water
carried the box from the wagon,
and It foated away with wife, babe
and all his household goods inside.
The husband and father was taken
ashore by the team. The helpless
mother held her babe above her
head as the wagon box sank in
the water. After she had floated
for two miles down the river a
white man, James Thomas, and
all Indian swan to their rescue
The Indian saved the babe and
brave lanes Thomas swan ashore
with the mother.
u During these times of danger
there was a constant dread o.
attack by Indians. The small
trains of emigrants were at the
mercy of the enemies. By force o.
superior numbers they could have
apnihilated train like this one
On one occasion the wagons were
: corralled on a little stream anc
Capt. Northcutt and another mem
i, Der of the train went in search O.
better grass and water for the
stock. While the absent member:
were beyond a small hill they be
gan rapid firing at some game
The sound of guns caused panic
at the camp. The men who hat
, faced real danger became helpless
with fright at imaginary danger
, The women and children hunI
upon the necks Of the men and al
were ready to submit to destruc
ton without formidable resistance
Men of undoubted courage becsm
helpless from fright. 1t is fac
. as this incident illustrates that III
> seen and imaginary danger ha
more ,errors than actual presen
p danger, to the man OF true courage
Il These were only few OF tn
s hardships suffered by the member
i, of this one of. hundred train:
q The history OF Idaho is not com
plete without a record of the trl'
|, Of the immigrants of the North
west while on the road to the
, present homes.

migrants were left to their own
sources What may be given as
moe Of history OF the time is the
.,erieuce of the Hussey and
ycc,n train of which f.. J. North
,,., was captain. This train had
been strong till it reached Soda
Springs at which the Oregon and
California roads diverged. The
t,oc,;on of the train which was
1.st;ued for the coast of Oregon
was composed of 80 families,
almost every one of which has
been prominent in the history of
our great Northwest.
New made graves bearing CHASTITY
ouide boards nearer together than
mile posts marked the way sor-
Rowing travellers had gone before.
The work stock persisted from
fatigue, drouth and heat, till many
wagons were abandoned. They
stood by the roadside like the
graves Of the loved ones, monu.
meuts OF sorrow and trouble.
These emigrants were the soldiers
that conquered the desert. They
" re all heroes. There we're no 'ag'
CARDS or towards in the ranks
Men and women took turns in the
ranks as they advanced, and or
picket duty at night.
As this reduced train moved on
down the road half blinded by
alkali dust, hundred Indians
confronted the heightened, but
undaun,ed men, women and chill
dren. The savages demanded trib
ute for the trespass upon Idaho
soil. The lordly red men were
soyereigns and they were AFRO
CANT in their demands. They de
handed an OK for the privilege o
passing through their country,
the valley of the Snake. 1t was :
pltitul sacrifice to give up faith

teams, but the impatient, hungry
savages were imperative. They
made their selection and the beas
was driven to the slaughter. l

man who made the unpleasant
task an impressive object lesson
he fired at long range with seem
Ing unconcern. When the indians
observed that the white rif1emat
used his gun with such skill, they
were greatly impressed. The saw
ages were made to believe by
display Of fine guns and the dis
play of skill, that the Hussey ant

Just after the war, when imitation

Just after the war, when imitation
prices painted pictures Of fortunes
in all kinds of city and town voca-
tions-when banking, insurance, and
the agency business were supposed
to yield wealth without limit, and
it was believed that fortunes could be
made by merely organizing some sort
of stock company and putting the
shares on the market-there was a
general focking of young men to
cities and towns, to get rich without
labor. But that delusion has ended
in bitterness and disappointment all
over the land, and proves that the
game of living by the wits is one that
very few thrive at. We are begin
ming to realize that farming possesses
one pre- eminent merritt will yield
a living if nothing more.

The number of disasters last yea.
on our coasts, within the scope of our
life saving service, was 500, which
was considerably greater tnan for any
preceding year. But then nearly half
of these disasters occurred to sail
boats and row boats, and of the 7O6
persons on board of these 695 were
saved. OF the disasters to the 1894
"documented vessels" Superintend
ent Kimball reports that only So yes
sells were totally wrecked, and only
~ lives were lost. The life saving
crews saved 321 vessels without as
resistance, and helped to save $50 more
They also rendered minor assistance
to vessels in distress, and warned
from danger 229 vessels. This is GER
tainly praiseworthy record. There
are 259 stations in the service. The
yearly cost of maintaining them is
somewhat under one and half mill
lion dollars.

LEADERS AMONG MEN.

Mr.. Debs declares himself opposed
master and the slave. The idea that
Jack is as good as his master appeals
with much force to the unthinking
and half educated who throng to hear
Mr.. Debs expound the gospel of So
cialism. Those who are unfit to lead
themselves naturally do not see the
necessity Of leaders. Yet even the
socialistic movement owes its success
to the direction of men Of greater ex-
ecutive ability, foresight and discre-
ton than the common herd. A body
without a head is incapable of max
ing progress either in the moral or
material world.
When Mr.. Debs organized the strike
of the American Railway union in
1894 he did not take every engineer,
fireman or brakeman into his conf
dence before ordering a general sus-
pension of traffic, nor did he submit
his plan of campaign for the union
against the railroad owners for the
approval Of it's members. The great
movement of organized labor which
assumed such threatening proportions
three years ago owed its strength to
the blind obedience yielded one man
by thousands Of wage earners, who
unreservedly surrendered their con-
troll over their own labor into his
Iardc Tho 1oa1or who or1orod rail
way employees all over the west, with
families dependent for support upon
their wages, to quit their work, not
on account of any grievance of their
own, but to compel millionaire man
ufacturer to submit his differences
with his workmen to arbitration, did
unquestionably stand very much in
the relation Of a master to his slaves.
Mr.. Debs says that he wants all men
to be leaders. His ideal would be
found i'll Artemus Wards company of
brigadier generals, but in war and
politics the greatest results have been
achieved by the united action of great
masses of men bound together by the
common tie of devotion to a great
general, monarch or statesman. Even
mob is only formidable when guided
by some one who can command the
obedience of his fellow rioters. When
armies can win victories without gen
erals, when ships can be safely navi-
gated without captains and when
churches can dispense with bishops
and clergymen, then great political
and social reforms can be accom-
plished without the presence of mas
ter minds. Perhaps Mr.. Debs may
have witnessed a race between men
or horses in which none we're left be-
hind, but generally certain individuals
prove their superiority to others by
coming out ahead. Exchange.

striking example of the sanitary
effects on body and mind of work as
compared with idleness, is given from
the records of the New Jersey state
prison. In 1874 when all the convicts
were employed, there were only
three deaths. May 81, 1875, when
they were all at work, only 21 out of
664 were idle because of illness, and
only five were insane. December 81,
1875, after six months of idleness, so
out of III were unfit for work, Is
were insane, and there were Is deaths
in the year. In 1876 only few were
bnsy, and there were 20 deaths. In
1877, when 500 out of 835 were at
work, there were only eight deaths
and on December 81 there were SO
unfit for work. In January, 1879, with
the same number busy, there were
10Y in the hands of the doctor.

A stomach of undigested food is about as
unhealthy mass as one can well imagine.
What be done with it? There it stays.
1t won't digest. 1t churns up, ferments and
decays; becomes poisonous las all putrid
matter does) and causes great pain and deep
seated disorders. In order to change all this
take Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t stops fer
mentation and decay at once, SO that no more
poisons are created. 1t clears the stomach of
poisons already there. 1t helps it to turn the
food that remains, into healthfnl nourish-
ment 1t strengthens the stomach for the
next meal. Here is the whole philosophy and
of indigestion in few words. And
what's more it's all true. Try it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is is for sale by
druggists, price 1oc to 81 bottle.

MEDALS OF HONOR.

The following letter written by an
shows that they do not all believe in
the policy of the government giving
out medals too freely:
"Eor what small deeds these medals
are awarded. I nave no doubt but
that many a better soldiers blood
runs hot to read of this one and that
one receiving a medal for doing their
duty, or not doing iU, as is the case of
an officer who left his company to as
sist comrade to a place of safety,
can get medal or pension is a que
ry to me. I, for one, think he should
have been court martialed for leaving
his company.
The soldiers of the fighting regi-
ments of the army know there were
too many looking after the wounded
in time of action, and our lines were
reduced as much by this as the
enemy's bullets until it was stopped.
How many hundreds, yes, thousands

same act performed with better sue

his term of enlistment in any of the
fighting regiments of the war and you
will find he has performed the above
act not once, but several times.
It is a slur on every honorably dis
charged soldier in giving out these
