THE TRUTH LEAKS OUT
rs TO CAUSE OF THE INDIAN
UPRISING
Ducks and squaws Shot to Pieces for
Using Their Visits to Resist
ArE,st

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. ga special
TO the Tribune dated five miles from X
ranch. Col. October 2Sth, says: At II
o'clock this morning we met party of
five Indians returning to their reserva-
ton as fast as their ponies could travel.
This party were couriers to announce
the death to the widows of the two men
killed by the wardens Following them
across the prairie were a band of sew
enty-five Indians which we had just
met. The two wounded women were
with the band. They were examined
and Surgeon Flagg dressed their
wounds.
The woman who was first shot has a
scalp wound about three inches long.
evidently made by 44-calibre ball. The
other woman has a bad flesh wound in
the arm, which was broken, and the arm
was fearfully lacerated.
The story of the occurrence, as told by
Star, survivor. is as follows:
'"Thc Indians were camped on the
Snake river, not far from Lilly park.
There were four bucks and two squaw,
in the party, and Star and one other of
the bucks had been hunting all day.
They got back to camp about sun
down and found two Indian b 'cks dead
and shot all to pieces, and the squaws
wounded and groaning They then
saddled and left for home as soon as
possible. The sQuaws were suffering

and shortly afterward went to Sacra-
mento. He soon returned, however, and
began to write for the local papers. His
work on the Examiner led to his ap-
pointment as editor of the Chronicle, but
he soon left that paper and started an
other weekly known as The State. A
few months later he was sent east as
correspondent for the Daily Herald,
published by John Nugent. He returned
here in 1868, and after working for sew
eral local papers started the Evening
Post. He disposed of this four years
later, and was appointed by Governor
Irwin as inspector of gas meters, an Of
| flee which he held about four years.
Meantime, during his leisure hours, he
was at work on the book, Progress and
Poverty" Then he went east and took
| up his permanent residence in New
York.
| HIS FRIENDS TRIBUTE
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Rev.
Father McGlynn registered at the Union
Square hotel shortly before II o'clock
today. The dispatch which summoned
him merely announced that a dear
friend" was dead, but bearing in min i
his own premonitons that Henry George
had confided to him, he concluded right
ly that his friend, Henry George, had
expired.
| At New York he was met by Henry
George, jr. When he was taken into the
room where his friend lay dead he burst
| into tears. The scene was distressing
one. Afterwards DR.. McGlynn said:
Henry George died as Abraham Lincoln
died. Lincoln was assassinated just
after his great work of saving the union
was consummated. 1t was said that he
was mercifully spared the petty annoy
ances and chickering's of the reconstruc-
ton period. Henry George was struck
down by fate in the zenith of his powers.
But the great work that he inaugurated
will go on.
"As man and philosopher it will be
long before his like will be seen again.
His goodness and gentleness singled
him out among all men, and with others
| almost worshiped him."
! DR.. McGlynn recalled that his friend
had recently expressed to him his pre-
| monition that his end was approaching.
HIS RIVALS EXPRESSIONS
When the news of Henry Georges
death was received at the Democratic
headquarters of Robert Van Wyck, or
ders were sent to all the printers who
| had been printing documents bearing
the name of Henry George. The fol-
lowing was sent by Judge Van Wyck
to Mrs. George:
| 81 am inexpressibly shocked. No
words can express my regret or my
sincere sympathy.

hall. He drove to Flushing, a long ride,
at the end Of which he spoke to 1900 peo-
pie who had waited an hour to see and
cheer for their idol.
Off again, and this time to hall in the
center of Manhattan island. Here there
was prolonged cheering.
He said: "Since 1888 I have not hid
my light under bushel. You know
what l believe. I believe in meeting my
fellow men and talking to them. Ii
elected I will honestly, fearlessly and
conscientiously carry out the principles
for which stand. You may believe me
and trust the result
Then Mr.. George broke away from the
crowd. His long days work was over;
, his busy life's work was done. He went
to his hotel after midnight, hoping to get
few hours sleep and rise strong
enough for still more arduous days
work, for he was to have addressed six
great meetings tonight.
THE CAUSE OF DEATH
The cause of death was cerebral apo
plexy.
Mr.. George arrived at the hotel about
1 o'clock this morning. He had just come
from several large mass meetings in the
boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. The
work Of the night seemed to have told on
him. He complained of being tired, but
the friends and relatives who awaited
him thought it only the natural fatigue
that follows such hard campaign work
as George has been doing.
Not long after reaching the hotel he
retired. About $3.50 Mrs. George was
awakened and found George sitting in an
armchair.
II am not feeling quite comfortable, -
said George.
won't you go back to bed?" inquired
Mrs. George anxiouslv.
Il will sit here awhile" was the re-
sponse.
Mrs. George at once grew anxious as
to her husbands S condition George grad
ually grew incoherent and lapsed into

thoroughly alarmed, called her son,

ments and to popularize the Australian
ballot system. Besides much miscella-
neous writing in advocacy of his polit-
ical and economic views Mr.. George has
also published 1.-The Land Question
(18SD, Social Problems" QSS4), PRO
lection or Free Trade" (18S6), 1.-The Con-
dition of Labor, an Open Letter to Pope
Leo XIII" QS9D, "a Perplexed Philos-
opher," an arraignment of Herbert
Spencer and his theories (892).
His next venture was the Standard,
which he started and made the organ of
the single tax people of the whole coun-
try. This paper he continued to edit for
number of years and made with it a
deep impression on a considerable por-
ton of the public mind. Copies of it's
issues are bound in substantial covers
and form sort of text book for his fol-
lowers.
In 1892 he supported Cleveland on the
stump, and in the last campaign he was
for Bryan, but in both cases his advo-
cacy was attended with more than Il
mental reservation.
He was urged to run as an independent
candidate for mayor Of Greater New
York, and it was evident that he would
poll a very considerable vote.
HIS CALIFORNIA CAREER
SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 29.-The death
of Henry George created a profound in
terest here, where he was well known.
George, as editor of the Evening Post
of this city, which paper he founded, was
a prominent factor in California affairs
many years ago, and his career since he
left this city has been watched with in
terest. He had a large number Of fol-
lowers in this state, who believed in and
advocated the single tax bill. George
first came here in 1857, on board the
United States ship Shubrick, of which he
was purser's clerk. His cousin, James
George, was already established here.
His first employment in this city was in
the capacity of a laborer in a rice mill
on Fremont street. but in 1858, when the
Fraser river excitement started, his
cousin and o. F. Griffin opened miners
supply house in Victoria and sent Henry
up there to conduct it. Six months later,
however, he returned to this city and
started a small weekly known as the
Home Journal 1t was not success.
Then he went to work as a compositOr.
In 1860 he married Miss Annie c. Fox,

Henry George, jr., from an adjoining
room. George was now unconscious.
A call was sent to DR.. Kelly at 115 East
Fifty-ninth street, who came without
delay. George was still unconscious.
AL efforts to revive him failed. Without
sign of recognition to those around
him, he passed peacefully away at 4:45
o'clock.
Mrs. George was Frustrated and was
cared for by friends of the family at the
hotel.
A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Henry George was born in Philadel-
phia September g. 1889. He attended the
public schools of that city until 1853, and
when he left school to take a clerkship
in mercantile house he possessed more
than common education. The house
for which he worked had ships in the
eastern coasting trade, and he Occa-
sionally went on voyages as deck hand
He meanwhile became acquainted with
some newspaper people in Philadelphia
and himself acquired some parts of the
printers trade In 1858 he came to Cali
fornia and settled in San Francisco
There he worked for two years "at the
case" and then became a local news re-
porter and afterward was the editor of
various papers, among them the Times
and the Post, the latter being still in ex-
istence.
In 1871, in a pamphlet entitled "Our
Land Policy" he outlined the theory
which has since made him famous.
He attracted a good deal Of attention
from the controlling politicians of the
time, and was, in 1876, appointed state in
spector of gas meters, a position he held
for two years. Next he was made a
trustee Of the San Francisco public IL
brary, he remaining in that Office till
1880.
In 1880 he removed to New York, where
he has since resided. In that year he
published Progress and Poverty" a
powerful work he had written the year
previously in San Francisco. 1t was
almost Immediately reprinted and pub
lished in London, and created a sensa-
ton. In 1851 he published "The Irish
Land Question" and in that year WIS.,
tied England, Ireland and Scotland on
invitation of the English Land Reform
union. He delivered speeches in Dublin
and other Irish towns, in which he
touched on the subject of home rule. He
was arrested, but was held for a brief
period only. In 1885 he returned to New
York and there resumed his scheme of
agitation. The next year he was the can
didate of the United Labor party for
mayor Of New York and received 6S ITO
votes against 90,552 for Abram S. Hewitt,
the Democratic candidate, and 6o,435 for
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
candidate.
The unexpected strength developed
caused him to be nominated in 1887 as
candidate for the Office of secretary of
state on the United Labor party ticket.
These campaigns served to propagate
the idea Of taxation concentrating on
land values irrespective Of improve

TWO NARROW ESCAPES.


Col Dan Rice's Experience with an
Elephant and n Lion.

calls my experience with the murderous
elephant, Romeo. Had | been a little
slower in my movements l would have
been his eighth victim" said Col. Rice,
refectively "One day l was directing
the arrangement of some canvasmen,
and unwittingly ventured a couple of
steps backward and within reach of the
death-dealing elephant, which at once
raised his trunk slowly with the pur
pose of giving me settler. He would
have succeeded in killing me had not a
young elephant near by trumpeted an
alarm, and, like lightning, l at once
sprang forward and out of danger from

In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"A Baby Elephant" by F. Fitz Roy
Dixon. Mr.. Dixon says: The wonder
full power of the trunk was a never
failing surprise to us. Its extreme
sensitiveness, andye its great strength,
showed how well supplied it must have
been with nerves. 1t was always NOV
ing, always feeling or smelling, or car
rying something, and the little sort of
finger-tip seemed the center of sensi-
bility. l remember well that she would
never allow us to touch it, and she
guarded it with great care, folding it
up if she thought it was in any danger.

plant deprived of this trunl-tip is Like
man deprived Of his sight, so helpless
does it become.

UTILIZING WASTE SPACE.

in that it is apt to be made the dump
ing place for innumerable odds and
ends, resulting, before one hardly re-
allies it, in heap ineXtricably con-
fused. Owing to this fact, present
the accompanying illustration, which
shows how TO employ advantageously
the space, and that, too, to the addi-
ton of stable conveniences. The space
should be boarded up with good stuff,
matched pine preferably, and that por-
ton having the greatest height made
into a harness closet. As for the re.
naming room, it is generally best to
convert it into a grain bin, having one
or more compartments. Thus it is that
one can derive great advantages at
trifiing expense, and, above all, suffer
no inconvenience, or even loss of room,
about the stable.-Frederick o. Sibley,

STICK TO LIVE STOCK.
cattle Industry Is Indeed the Right
Aim of Agriculture.

The wheat grower who points with
satisfaction to the advancing price on
this cereal can be matched easily
enough by the cattle-grower when he
notes the strong demand and ad-
Fancing price for feeders. From every
market come reports of the greatest
activity in the demand for feeders. Car
rying Goals to Newcastle is not a cir
cumstance to shipping Canadian cattle
tened on the corn that has been grown
in that state. Iowa and Nebraska men
are swarming to the market and buy
ing everything that can eat corn; $5.15
is said to have been paid recently for
eastern-grown feeders. Anything that
wears hair and has a cloven hOof is
quick sale at strong prices at all mar
kets in the west, and the demand is
such that it bids fair to increase the
current of stockers and feeders from
Canada and the east toward the corn
belt-a very anomalous condition of af-
fairs.
The stock farmer should not permit
hlllStll u De IuSHtu III 10 w neat = wv
ing. He meets far less competition
rnethe markets of the world than does
the wheat farmer, and year in and year
out his returns are more certain and
remunerative. The steady advance OF
values of cattle, swine and sheep has
poured dollars into his pockets, and
every condition discernible in the flu
ture points to a further appreciation il
value of the animals of the farm. Stock
raising is the right arm of agriculture
1t requires only intelligence of low
degree to tickle the earth and garner
the grain. Cheap lands and cheap labor
can grow wheat. Brains and fertile
soil are requisite to stock growing
| The man who abandonS stock farming
for wheat growing under the presenr
circumstances has certainly studied The
situation to little purpose. The eX
perience of years has taught that corn
grass and live stock bring more GER
tain and more profitable returns thar
grain growing, which impoverishes thu
soil and does not enrich the farmer

Carrots Good for Horses.

OF al roots with which horses are
tempted, the carrot, as a rule, is the
fayorite, and perhaps the most bene,
fetal. 1t is said to be somewhat
dSuretic in it's effects, and to exercise q
salubrious influence on the skin. Ger.
tain it is that sick horse may be
coaxed into eating carrots when disin.
cliued to partake of other nourshment,
and the greatest benefit results. For
the ailing horse CARROTS are most valu-
able as an article of diet, and few may
be given with advantage even to a horse
in healthy condition.-Prince Edward
Island Agriculturist.
