ARIZONA HEADS THE LIST.

Arizona is now believed to be at the head of the copper producing list That is worth being proud of but in telligence comes from Cincinnati of another event which will incite still greater territorial pride. MT. and Mrs. Henry Ulmer, formerly of Tomb stone live there and to them recently babe was born with two heads. A Cincinnati paper thus describes it: "The child is two weeks old and all though it has taken no nourishnlent in that time it is still alive. The baby is we'll formed in body and limbs, but has two heads upon suc-- short neck that they seem to set on the child's shoulders. The normal head is of size proportionate to the size of the body and the other is abnormally large and turned to one side, so that the counter line of the face is above the baby's left shoulder. The heads are complete in every detail, and the baby can see plainly from the eyes of either head. The organs of hearing, sight, smell and taste seem to be perfect in both heads"

ayes dog, an English bull terrier, was not in leash, and the moment he clapped eyes on Miss O'Neil's dog he cut loose. Over and over they went, both dogs barking and biting and the women screaming in mortal fear. The pugs and the poodles bolted.
 The negro porters closed in and eheered and the ferry house became dog-pit. Station Master Eagan finally heard the yelps and howls and ran from his office as the white bull terrier was being rapidly chewed into sausage meat. Grabbing Mrs Lackaye's dog by the back of the neck, he shook it off and held it until Mckee Rankin, who had been outside appeared and rescued his leading wo. mans pet.
 There was just time left for the com. pany to catch the boat that connected with its train after the fight was over but it was said that marked coolnes: was noticeable even so soon betweer the owners of the two dogs.

Less british and More American.

Less british and More American.
From Washington Post
EDITOR PosT-I have read in the
Post of this morning an article taken
from the New York Times, and
headed, "The Irish and the Alliance"
The Times has never been remark
able for friendliness toward the Irish,
but just now it suits its purpose to
pat the Celtic wolf-hound on the head
and say, "Good dog" after the man
ner of its kind. What right has 1t to
doubt the '1oyalty' of Irish-Ameri-
-cansp The trouble is that most of
the Anglomaniacs hate the Irish be-
cause their 'loyalty'' to American
institutions cannot be shaken. The
Irish believe, with their illustrious
countryman, Henry Grattan, that the
+ United States is ''the last refuge of
the liberties of mankind" They op-
pose the alliance with England be-
cause they honestly believe that such
compact would destroy that ''last
refuge" The Tory wave of feeling
now sweeping over the country
threatens America with the humilia-
ton of returning to the vomit of Brit
ish rule which it threw up in 1916.
There are "Americans" who mutilate
the Stars and Stripes in order to stitch
it to the English Union Jack. Con-
gress should pass law to hang such
"Amcricans" as traitors, or else exile
them perpetually from the country
they disgrace. The only traitors to
the American flag, constitution and
laws are the Anglomaniacs. They
talk of territorial extension in inilta-
ton of English imperialism. What's
the matter with doing missionary work
in Canada, Jamaica and Nassau
England's base of supply for block
ade running during the civil warm
favor of annexation2 There is large
annexation party in Canada, but it
has received very little encourage
ment from us. The American peo-
pie, or large section of them, appear
to be rapidly forgetting their history
and traditions, and some of them have
descended to the meanness of apollo
giving for our glorious past. They
would eliminate from our school his

India has not yet recovered from the
depletion of the recent famines, whose
victims were numbered by the mill

engaged in raising funds-see the
Irish World, Boston Pilot, and other
Irish-American publications-to save
the Irish people Of the coast regions
in Connaught and Ulster from starva-
ton. This, too, when England, by
the acknowledgement of her own
government commissioners, is rob-
bling Ireland annually of Sis, 900, 900

PHIL SHERIDAN, JR.

President Mckinley has combined
several good strokes by the action,
recently taken, in behalf of "young
Phil" Sheridan, to whom he has
given an appointment to West Point;
he has honored the memory of the
nations cavalry hero, gratified the
desire of that hero's widow, pro-
NOTED the ambition of the boy him.

military service of the country a
youth whose inheritance, both of
temperament and tradition, marks
him out as one of our future great
military men. For Young Phil
is said to be ga veritable chip of the
old block" short and stout in build;
generous and quick-tempered in char
acter, studious and inclined to scien-
tifc pursuits, he will probably grow
even more like his father with in
creasing years. 1t had long been
Mrs. Sheridan's desire that young
Phil might enter West Point Academy
on the fftieth anniversary of his

COMPANY DISBANDED.

Capt. R. T. Jacobs company of
Home Guards have been mustered
out of the service by order of Gov
ernor Bradley. There was no excuse
for mastering in the company in the
first place. Capt. Jacob himself is 4
soldier, but he surrounded himself
with set of men that did not know
the barrel of gun from a piece of
cheese, and the only countersign they
recognized was "Warm Lunch"
When Gov. Bradley called for a
detachment of twenty men from this
company to go to Manchester, Clay
county, only eight men could be
found. These eight went to Pewee
Valley, where Assistant Adjutant
General Forester saw their ineffici-
ency, and promptly rejected them.
The members of this company will
not soon make another attempt to
join the Home Guards or any
other guards. The trip to Pewee
Valley settled them for all time.

fathers entrance, which occurred
July I, IS4S; but all previous efforts
in that line had failed and she had
almost given up when President
Mckinley heard of her wish, and it
is owing to his good offices that the
coming July will see the entrance
of Phil Sheridan's son and namesake.
Hitherto he has been carefully
trained under his mothers watchful
eye, and his friends predict for him a
brilliant military career.

Irish News Notes.

The ruins of the Abbey and Castle
at Donegal, ofgreat historical and an
tiquarian interest, having been hand
ed over to the Board of Works by
Lord Arran, that body is expanding
600 pounds renovating the walls. 1t
is proposed to rebuild the archway of
the old Abbey, which fell in some
time ago. 1t is to be hoped an i'm
provement committee, with the assist
ance of patriotic public, will do
something to alter the conditions Of
the tombs and graves which have fall
Ell into disorder and decay, and to
clear away the rank weeds and net
ties which abound all over.
The members of the Limerick Cor
poration have commenced a good
work-the remaining of their streets
after patriotic lrishmen. This is a
grand example for the towns and cities
of Ireland. In nearly all the princi-
pal streets are named after English
Kings and Queens, and after some
local land magnates, the pillars of the
British power in Ireland. 1t is time
to change these, and Limerick has
commenced the good business in an
opportune time. 1t is hoped a clear
sweep will be made of those remind
ers of British power and cruelty, and
also of Irish degradation.
The Cashel 'oS Club achieved a
great success in their celebrating the
memory of the heroes of 'o8 by a

followed the Cashel brass band, with
members of the 'o8 club, wearing
badges. Next came the Doheny Fife
and Drum Band, in regalia, attended
by torch bearers, and followed by the
os Club and the general public. The
route of the procession was through
the principal streets to the residence
of Very Rev. Dean Kinand, where a
stirring and patriotic speech was de-
livered by him. The sight was one
seldom, if ever, exceeded in this old
"City of the Kings"

AGAINST ALLIANCE.
Congressman Champ Clark Enters a
vigorous Protest.

- -D.N'es
In his great speech, delivered in
the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, on the Hawaiian annexation
resolution, the Hon. Champ Clark, of
Missouri, said:
"Jingoism is more rapid in its prog
ress than quick consumption. So
virulent is it that many are now advo-
eating an alliance with England
certainly the most preposterous idea
that was ever Matched in the brain of
man. Are we to give no heed to the
lessons of history? Are we to scout
the wisdom of the fathers? Are we
to take leave of our senses because we
are engaged in struggle with third
rate power, which vigorously pressed
will be gloriously concluded in time
to celebrate our triumph on the Fourth
Of July next? Who is to be the gamer
of such an arrangement? Certainly
not America. Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain's gush about what an inspiring
spectacle it would be to see our SOL
diers and British troops fighting to-
gether under the Star Spangled Ban
ner and the Union Jack may be wis
dom from his standpoint, but from
ours it is sheer nonsense-unmitigated
bosh. After thrashing Spain we have
no enemies to fight, but England has
superabundance of them. Like the
poor, they are always with her, be-
cause John Bulls longing eyes are
always fixed on SOMEBODY else's pos
sessions.
can alliance with England Have
gentlemen considered what partner
ship with that quarrelsome nation
means? 1t means that our armies
would soon be fighting against the
French in Africa, against the Rus
slams in Afghanistan, against the Ger
mans in China, against the Japanese
in Korea, against the Italians in the
Mediterranean, against the Austrians
in the Danube, and the Turks in the
Golden Horn. The best blood of
America would enrich foreign soil
from the Punjab to St. Petersburg and
from the Cape of Good Hope to the
Land of the Midnight Sun. That is
jingoism run mad. Is not that raw
i tsF,is What md
fathers are willing to so sacrifice their
sons3 Who is going to pay the piper
for such wild dancer. How can we
be made happier, more prosperous or
more puissant by such an amazing
performance Time and time again
we have expressed our sympathy with
down-trodden Ireland by speeches, by
resolutions, by public meetings, by
large contributions of cash, by every
other method known among men
short of sending an army for her lib
Grafton. In fact, the armed enemies
of Great Britain have found great
deal of substantial aid in this country.
Now as part and parcel of this fan
tastic, grotesque and suicidal lingo
scheme, we are to join hands with the
merciless oppressors of the Irish race.
God forbid that we should be such
bowling idiots"

independence. Every citizen who
protests against the proposed "entan-
Cling alliance F" is dubbed a "tail
twister." Such cheap cant daunts
only moral towards. No man need
be ashamed to be called a "tail twis-
ter" in common with George WASH
ington, Thomas Jefferson, James Mad
ison, James Monroe, Andrew Jack
son and Ulysses Grant. Under the
latter's administration England was
made to pay SIS, 900, 900 for her
piracy during the war of the rebel
lion.
Alliance with England would i'm
mediately stop Irish recruiting in our
armies. In every engagement since
this war began, as in all former wars,
Irish blood has been shed for Amer
lea. 1t is unnecessary to eulogize
the Irish soldier. His record is the
certificate of his valor and his devo-
ton. | would hate, however, to see
his constancy strained by forcing him
to serve with British troops. Were
it not for the strong counterpoise of
military discipline, WHICH no man
more respects, the AZzle of his gun
would point tor ). the red coats as
truly as the needle points to the pole.
He would obey his officers, but his
civilian brother would not volunteer
to REINFORCE him. No English ALI
ance would make up for this defec-
ton. Instead of the Irish becoming
"less Irish and more American" as
the New York Times puts it, l sim
cerely wish the Anglomen of the
United States would become less
British and more American. The
Irish are the truest Americans on this
soil today. They wish to keep the
United States Republic-they have
no disposition toward imperial sys-
TENS. They believe in vantage points,
coaling stations and harbors of re-
fuge for our ships in Hawaii, the Phil
ippines, the West Indies and else
where, but they have no desire to
grab territory from weak nations, af-
ter the British fashion. Mr.. Hep
bum, of Iowa, in his speech favoring
territorial expansion, while debating
Hawaiian annexation in the House
Wednesday, spoke of the blessings
of civilization England carried with
her in her imperial progress. He
forget to mention the famines and
massacres that have invariably at
tended her march around the globe,

SPORTING NOTES.

1t is almost too hot at this period OF
the year for the sweltering public to
devote much thought to baseball,
pugilism and the sports, and besides
the war has absorbed the attention of
every one. In spite Of these hind
RANGES, the Case-Dobs fight is attract
ing a marked amount of interest. Es-
pecially will this be true in the event
of Dobbs winning over the Oregonian.
Although Case was given a terrible
beating before, and finally knocked
completely out in the last round and
almost the last ten seconds, he gave a
good account of himself all the way
through, and at no time after the sec
ond round did the colored man hold
him cheap.
In New York there are several big
fights on hand, not the least among
them being the Ruhlin-Sharkey con-
test, which is set for June 80. Maher
and Goddard are soon to come to-
gether again, and unless another &C
cident happens, what a slaughter 1t
will be.
The battle between George Dixon
and Ben Jordan will also prove a
strong attraction, as it is an inter-
national affair. Jordan is the best
feather weight England has produced
since Nunc Wallace.
"Kid' Mccoy undoubtedly has,
outside of Corbett, the best head for
financial affairs of any man in the
ring to-day. When any of the slick
rs Of Of a stE.te clubs get ahead
of him they will have to stay up all
night. The fight between the "Kid''
and Choynski has been set for August
81.
There is some talk of bringing
Lansing and McDonough together
before the Kentucky Athletic Club
for some time in July. McDonough
is the man who fought a draw with
Australian Jimmy" Ryan last Derby
night. A contest between him and
Lansing ought to prove an exceeding
ly interesting contest.
Baseball has suffered more than
any other sport from the war, but
then the poor showing of the Col
onels has had great deal to do with
the falling off in attendance here in
Louisville. The fans are getting
tired of going down to the park year
after year to watch tall.end club get
everlastingly lambasted by one of the
other eleven clubs. Louisville has
not had a winning team since it en-
tered the big League, and something
is radically wrong. If there is hoo
doc why don't some of the directors
take steps to have that hoodoo dis
covered and done away within
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1898-05-11

When everything should be ready I
would advance alone as far down the
slope as possible, and as soon as dis
covered, would call on the camp TO sur
render. AT my call my men would APP
pear at the crest with their rifles cooked
and aimed. hoped by this plan to cap
ture the whole camp without firing a
shot.

stoned officers to command these
parties, and started them for their des-
ignated places. l then deployed my
men as skirmishers, and after waiting n
sufficient length of time for h two de-
tached parties to Il their places, L
gave the order for the men 10 advance

stepped into plain view and called for
the surrender of the camp, at the same
time telling them that sea was inn

1 was perfectly astounded to see no

but in reply to my summons a voice an
severed in good English:
"All right, old fellow, we surrender.
Now march you. men in and have some

captains from the next post, who was in

avoid an ambush. But 1 did not an
tlcipate anything of the kind, for l still
had no reason to think that the Indians
had any idea we were close on their
trail.
AS we came over the crest of a small
hill the scouts pointed out to me a
thin line of smoke rising beyond the
next rise of ground. 1 at Il halted
and dismounted my command. I'm
d~oubtedly the Indians had gone into
camp, unsuspicious of our approach.
1 could hear my heart beat with ex-
citement and anticipation, but in order
to lay my plans correctly it was neces-
sary for me to see the ground myself.
After a moments hesitation l con
cluded to take the first sergeant with
me.
We tied punches of grass on our heads
and then crept forward about ten yards
apart until we came to the crest of the
Gbstructing hill. 1 peered over, drew
hastily back and took a long breath.
There they were! There was no doubt
of that, for they were not 100 yards
away, and at the first glance l saw
that they were almost as many men as
! had.
This was rather more than l had bar
gained for. 1 had expected to meet ten
OF a dozen, or, in case the bands had
united, 80 at most. However, l was i'll
for it now. 1t would never do to re-
treat, and my glory would be all the
greater from such a capture.
j took another glance and then beck.
oned to my sergeant to fall back a short
distance for a consultation. As he
came up to me, without waiting for me
TO speak, he said:
Lieutenant, / think"
He got no further, for at that point l
interrupted him. AS he began to speak
the thought flashed through my mind:
There! AS 1 had expected he is going
to presume on his position as an old
soldier and give ME advice" i did not
want any advice. 1 wanted the credit.
and the whole credit.
1 knew that his advice would be good,
for he was an old Indian fighter and a
~level-headed man, but that was all the
more reason for my not wanting to hear
his advice, for no doubt L should be in
fuenced by it, and then / should feel
in honor bound to acknowledge his
share in the success. Therefore, as he
began to speak, 1 said, perhaps rather
too abruptly:
Never mind, sergeant, what you
think; join the troop and have them
ready to attack as soon as 1 come back"
