The presumption is that Ross was
demonstrating with her for casting him
off. for rejecting his love. Doubtless

him as the idol of her heart. and upon

HEIDFELT's VIEWS.

Senator Heidfelt did not hesitate to
denounce the bill in the very strongest
terms. He never did believe in a very
high tariff. having been originally a
Democrat
The bill, in the shape that it came
from the house, said he. lis an
Ubiquitous piece of legislation framed
wholly in the interest of the manufac-
turers. The schedules almost uni
versally discriminate in favor of the
east and against the west"
The wool schedule provides for a
specific duty of IL and L cents on first
and second class wool. which is not
grown in the west; and for a duty of
80 per cent advalorem on third class,
which is the grade of our western prod
uct: and which, at its present price
of 6 cents per pound. would be pro-
tected by duty of something less than
. cents per pound.
On the manufactures of leather a
duty of 80 per cent advalOrem is pro-
vided: and when senators suggest a
duty on hides. which are placed on the
free list, the leather trust Immediately
bobs up with a protest against this
unjust discrimination"
l fail to see where western interests
are TO be benefited in any way by this
bill. but l can see where great injury
win be done to our people, a majority
of whom are producers of products
that must seek a foreign market, and
who will be compelled to pay a greatly
increased price for all manufactured
articles. the proposed duties on which
are ridiculously high, averaging much
over 100 per cent.
Il will neither vote for nor against
the bill"

WILD HORSES A NUISANCE.

Animals Commit Considerable DAM
age to Fences in Search of Water.
Many Indian horses are being killed
On the reservation by barbed wire
fences, says the Spokane Spokesman
Review, The degenerate horses, aban-
doned by their Indian owners, have be-
come an acknowledged nuisance upon
the public ranges. They roam about in
large herds and arc as wild as antelopes
Their watering places have been fenced
up, and it is hard to divert them from
the runways Of lifetime. Each herd
is led by a patriarch stallion, who holds
his command with a discipline that
would be; a credit to military tactics
These herds range on the hills, far
from water, seeking the springs only
once or twice a week. Their runs are
sometimes as far as ten miles. The stall
lion drives the herd to water, following
in their flying wake and driving every
struggling beast with hoof and teeth,
pushing them at a high rate of speed,
much after the manner of buffaloes
Mad with thirst and blinded with dust,
they rush into the wire fences that cross
the old trails, the leaders being driven
with such force that Threats are cut
and legs are. severed. but the fences go
down and the herd proceeds over
plowed fields and growing crops. AS
a result the reservation is covered with
dead and dying horses, every section re-
porting the same scene and allowing
the victims to fare as best they may. 8

MEAsURlNG THE EARTH.
The Mountains md Stars Are Both
-. Called into Ese by Aatron oInera.Gs $50

Called Into Use by Astronomers.
The longest distance ever encom-
passed by the human vision, so far as
the records go, is 1873 miles, between
the Uncompahgre peak il Colorado,
and Mount Ellen, in y tab. This feat
was accomplished by the surveyors of
the United States coast and gepdetic
survey, who are now engaged, in con-
junction with representa- tiyess Of other
nations, in making a new measure
ment Of the earth, says the Philadelphia
Record. S.
h The observers on the Pacific coast
have been able to signal from Mount
Shasta to Mount Helena, distance Of
100 miles, but have never been able to
get response. Between the two other
peaks communication has been cont inu-
GUS for an hour or more on several oc-
casions.
The Uncompahgre is 1890 feet in
height, while Mount Ellen is 13,400.
The longest distance that the human
eye ever reached until this record was
made was between Algiers and Spain,
1853 miles. "ss-55 S.
The measuring of the earth, which is
now going on, is no simple task. The
width Of the ocean can only be ascer-
tanned by astronomical observations.
The observers at Greenwich and at
Washington note each night the exact
moment of the rising of certain stars,
and then, by mathematical calcula-
tions, turn the difference in time into
distance. This is corrected and cor
roborated by other observations upon
other stars, and by a series Of expert
ments, which furnish an average that
is approximately accurate.
The difference is seldom more than
small fraction Of a second, and is at
tributed to atmospheric phenomena.
The Pacific ocean is measured in a
similar manner by joint observations
with the Lick telescope, in California,
and that of the Imperial university of
Japan, at Toxic.
