INDIAN OUTBREAK.
A Call for Troops from Mason
Valley.

Valley
At 6 o'clock yesterday morning Gov
ernor Sadler was routed out Of he'd
with the following dispatch:
Wabuska, New, Feb. p. 645 A. NJ,
Governor Sadler-
Indians have threatened to burn
and kill all within their reach in
Mason Valley. Send fifty men by ex-
ira train and so extra stands of arms
as soon as possible.
BY order Of a Committee of citizens.
The dispatch was received in this
city in the evening but for some rea-
son was not delivered.
The Governor consulted at once
with General Galusha and ordered
MIN to proceed at once to the scene
q ascertain the cause of the trouble
and see it troops were really neces-
sary. He feared that there WAS no
money available for the expense. He
accordingly paid them out Of his own
pocket and SEM General Galusha To

slty or sending us the arms asked for
as we need them badly.
NJ. E. Leavett.
The trouble originated with the
killing of an Indian by Silas Logan
and Charles GuDzel. 1t appears hat
a squaw was in Wabuska in the night
and the men were following her about
and trying to keep her from going
out to the Indian camp. The Indian
who was killed attempted to Get her
away from the white men and con
Duct her to the camp. A row followed
and Logan struck the Indian over
the head with an iron bar cracking
his skull.
This was several days ago, and
although it was known about the
town that the Indian was seriously
injured, no attempt was made by the
authorities to arrest the men.
% Sunday morning he died of his
injuries, but the two men had been
notified and fed tire country.
Justice Of the Peace Whittiker had
been asked TO issue warrants several
days before, but he was slow in acting

COMING TO CARSON.
A Few Stockton People VINO Will
See the Corbett-F itzsimmons


The following lie from the Mail:
Several Stocktonians are already
talking OF attending the physical cult
ure exhibition scheduled to take place
at Carson City, Nevada, on St. Pat
rick's day, when Mr.. Corbett is ex-
pected to lick Mr.. Fitzsimmons or vice
versa. When approached on the sub
ject by a Mail reporter, though, they
claimed that they had other business
there, and were somewhat reticent in
regard to the real purpose OF the visit.
Billy Newman has this to say about
his proposed trip to Nevada: II have
wanted to visit Carson for a long
time. that 1 might see the wonderful
prehistoric footprints at the Nevada
State Prison. The reason I choose the
middle OF March to make the trip is
solely on account Of the cheap rate Oh
the railroad. OF course, some Of NV
friends here are trying to prevail up
on me to attend the-ah-the meeting
-ahem. OF Mr.. Corbett and MI. Fitz-
simmons. SO l can give them an idea
OF 1t on my return. You understand.
l am not In favor Of these brutal ex-
hibitions, but ! have been ever ready
to please my friends. However, 1
haven't fully decided to attend.'
1t is also said that Duncan and
Hopkins Of the independent compos-
ing room are figuring on going,
though they explained to a Mail re
porter this morning that they we're
merely going to Nevada to get a Whit
OF sagebrush. Of which they claim to
be dearly fond. Duncan says he has
heard that the climate of Nevada, es-
pecially around Carson, is very fat
tening.
Bruce Harrison is also banned as a
possible pilgrim to Carson at about
the time OF the Scrap and he said
this morning.: IF l go at all it will
simply be in the cause of charity. 1
had decided not to go, but when I read
in one OF the papers that Dan Stuart
had attended church and dropped a
shining gold piece in the contribution
oox, L began to feel that such a man
should be encouraged in a financial
way. and so 1 feel that-indirectly. Of
course-1 shall be giving to the cause
OF charity. II 1 attend at all, 1 will
sit in the last row, so as to be as far
from the degrading influence OF the
sport as possible."
Messrs. Mcguire and Stanton. of the
Imperial hotel, think of taking ad-
vantage OF the cheap fare to Carson.
Just to look over the ground with a
view OF erecting a large hotel there.
Mcguire says bis physician has ad- !
vlsed him to make a trip to some
high altitude, al yway, and Stanton
says he will go chiefly to look after
Mcguire. Mr., Knights will stav in

mentioned as likely to go to Carson in
March to attend the st. Patrick's Day
ceremonies are Orrin Henderson, P.

Lane. There are also several

Oldest Living Odd Fellow.

According to the Chicago Times
Herald J. Norwood Clark, Of lowe
City, Iowa, is the oldest living mem
Der of the order of Odd Fellows. II
is more than fifty years since he was
initiated into the order at Baltimore in
the first Odd Fellows building even
erected in this country. He was then
a member of Gratitude Lodge, No. 5.
In 1S41 Mr.. Clark took his card from
Baltimore Lodge, and placed it with
Western Lodge, No. "a. He removed
in 1S43 from Western Lodge to Ohio
Lodge, No. l., and his last change was
made in 1855, when he deposited his
card with Eureka Lodge, No. A, Of
Iowa City, where it remains to this
day. Since that time he has eve
missed a meeting of the lodge, save the
session which was held at Cedar Rap
ids in 1872. In 1860 Nh. Clark
was grand representative to the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge of the United
States. He is widely known among
Odd Fellows in all parts of the coun-
try. Mr.. Clark is a native of Phila-
delphia and is eighty-three years old
was initiated while still a young
mai into the first encampment Of Pa
triarchs in the world. He has been a
member of the Grand Encampment OF
Iowa since 1859.

Saving the Remnant.

An Oklahoma man, says the Boston
Transcript, has made a proposition to
the Interior Department to corral
what are left of American bison. All
of these animals outside of private es-
tate or public park collections, and
still in a wild state, are, according to
this authority, in the Yellowstone
National Park and do not exceed thir.
ty in number. If we are to preserve
the remnant of these once mighty and
almost countless rovers of the plains,
we must be prompt in measures of pro-
lection.
1t is hardly more than twenty-five
or thirty years since the biographies
and encyclopedias used to tell, as 6
feature Of unvarying interest in Yves
tern life, how these animals travelled in
herds of thousands and tens of thous.
ands. In those days every old farmer
covered the seats of the family carry.

called, because they were the cheap.

try the race should not be permitted

Treatment of Lightning Stroke.

Professor Oliver Lodge writes to
the Liverpool Post to warn the public
against the notion that a lightning
stroke is necessarily fatal. It stops
the vital organs, he says, but it rarely
destroys them. If respiration can be
maintained artifcially for a sufficient
time there is a fair chance that the
heart will resume its suspended &C
ton and that the stricken man will re-
cover: The practical outcome of this
is never to pronounce a lightning
struck person dead until the we'll
known method of resuscitation from
drowning has been practiced upoL the
corpse for two or three hours. Ex-
perienced has justified this teaching
both in America and in France, where
it has been strenuously urged and
practiced by DR.. d. Arsonval. This is
a matter of great Importance. Com
p~aratively few people are killed by
lightning in this country, but it seems
probable enough, if we are to believe
Professor Lodge, that the number
could be still further reduced If artl-
fetal respiration were practiced.

To Acquire a Graceful Pose.

A traveller gives the following hint
to seekers after grace and dignity. He
says: "In my limited experience with
queens, I have lever seen n walk so
we'll as does the stately working wo-
man of Ahmedabad. This is partly
due to the fact that the latter wears
only a short skirt and a sash, with
sometimes loose half bodice. Ease in
attire is not, however, the main reason
for the free gait and lofty carriage so
conspicuous here; yet the secret is so
simple that it is strange no fashionable
boarding school has caught it and adj
vertised to turn out American girls
that can walk, Let any young woman
try this receipt: Put a wad of cloth or
straw on the head and balance on this
a small Jug or pail, walking around in
the position enforced by the balance.
I think an hours daily exercise of this
sort might improve health as we'll as
carriage; at any rate, it would produce
something better than the dragon stride
Of the English girl or the usual amble
of her Yankee cousin"

Grant at the Telephone.

It is told of General Grant that when
he arrived in San Francisco from his
famous trip around the world, during
the period of which the telephone was
perfected and brought into use, he
blushed like a ~schoolhoy and looked
foolish when a mutual friend arranged
a conversation by wire between the
great warrior and his wife, Mrs. Grant
being OF the residence of the friend
while the General was at his place OF
business, many blocks from the house.
General Grant looked as though he
believed he was being tricked and
that his wife must be near by hiding,
when he distinctly heard her voice
from the other end of the telephone

Some time ago he had a severe Illness
which was cured almost ~miraculously. q
reporter hearing Of this, interviewed him
regarding his experience. Prof. Bowman
was in the midst of his work when the re-
porter called, but he cheerfully gave him a
hearing.
"a year ago last fall" said the professor,
"I broke down with nervous exhaustion,
and was unable to properly attend to my
duties. I tried different physicians but with
no relief, and also used many different pro.
prietary medicines, spending almost fifty
dollars for these medicines alone. + then
succumbed to a seige Of the grip in the
middle OF winter, and was left in a much
worse condition. My kidneys were fearfully
disordered, and my digestion became very
poor. I was indeed in a bad condition.
"a minister in conference learning Of my
condition advised me to tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard
much about the wonderful curative powers
OF this medicine, but 1t wa with reluctance
that I was finally persuaded to try it, as 1t
seemed that nothing could do me any good.
However, I procured three boxes Of pills
and took them strictly according to direc-
tons. BY the time the last dose was taken
I was almost cured, and in better health
thar I had been for years. I continued using
the pills awhile longer and was entirely
cured. I can cheerfully recommend DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Such was Professor Bowman's wonderful
story, which wa fully endorsed by the fol.
lowing affidavit:

Increase in Ecypt's Population,

cent. per annum, which is about dou-
ble the normal rate of increase in Brit.

Woman,s Interest in Sports.

Woman's increased interest in all
kinds of sports is evidenced by the
trade in women's sporting goods that
is done by the large sporting goods
house on Twenty-third street. The
oma cyclist is largely responsible
for this, but the golfer and tennis
player has her share, and it may sur
prise some to hear that even hunting
goods and fishing outfits are sold in
Considerable quantities to the gentler
sex. A new design of Hubert skirt is
a feature. 1t is put on and taken of
like an ordinary skirt. When off the
wheel it has the graceful appearance
of the full ripple-back short skirt. By
a simple continuance a saddle pocket
is drawn into the back, giving a per-
feet riding habit effect. A particular
advantage is the perfect freedom Of
motion that the skirt allows.-New

About Perfumes.

The perfumes which are most agree
able to the senses are not always the
most helpful to the nerves. Amber
girls, for instance, is positively often
sive to many, yet it is said to possess
a wonderful power of clearing the
brain and driving away those evil
spirits known as the "blues." On the
other hand, altar of roses, with its
suggestion of glowing suns and gor-
geous eastern c%olors, predisposes one
to tears. A faint odor of musk acts
as a tonic, while civet brings drowsi-
ness of soul, for which the best anti
dote is the pungent odor of sandal
wood. The fragrance of citron and
aloe wood is as soothing to nervous
people as far-off music.
Many perfumes delightful in the
open air become particularly disagree
able in a close room. A whole even
ing can be spoiled by the presence Of
tuberoses or lilies in areception DON
Their strong fragrance has a very bad
effect. Magnolia blossoms, too, have
q delightful perfume in their native
grove, but woe to her who sleeps
through the night with a single BIOS
som on her pillow. There are many
fragrant flowers, such as c~arnation,
Glove pink, sweetbriar and apple bios
som, that are as beneficial as they are
sweet scented.
A vivid perfume is nearly always
bracing, while a subtle one is gener-
ally %enervating. One may become
positively intoxicated through inhal-
ing the odor of the peach, aiEcend, wild
cherry and other blossoms of the same
class, because they all contain o sug::
