AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
"A Little Child Bitten by a Snake Under
Peculiar Circumstances.

Pecpiiar Circumstances.
Oren Thomas, who was out in the
country this morning, tells of pc
culiar adventure the little daughter
of ]. I. Cloud, residing a few miles
this side of Hume, had with huge
black snake just before he returned
to town, says the Rich Hill Review.
The little child had been playing
in the yard, aud came running to its
mother with q huge snake coiled
about its body. The Shiny monster
had the little ones hand in his mouth
and had no doubt bitten the child
several times, as she was crying as
though in great pain. The mother
was horror stricken but went to the
speedy rescue of her child. When
the mother would approach, the
snake would recoil and show its
fangs as though preparing to leap
upon her. By heroic efforts however
the snake was finally beaten eff and
made away in the grass.
DIR. Will B. Still, of Hume, was
hastily summoned and was treating
the child when our informant left.
He feared the child might die.

a double column editorial, of which
the following is part:

Spain was asserting sovereignty
over the Philippine islands against
the protest of an insurgent class, 6
class constituting the best aud the

The cession of the islands to the

it the controversy which had been
waged between the insurgents and

Winter Wheat Crop a Failure.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 22.-Speaking
TO Times reported regarding the general
wheat situation, Charles A. Pillsbury
said:
Il look upon the winter wheat crop as
practically a failure. The winter wheat
section of the country has not from all
appearance, raised any more wheat than
we need here at home for our own con-
sumption. So far as the northwestern
spring wheat area is concerned, the crop
is looking and doing fairly well. In some
low places there may be slight damage
from too much rain but on the whole,
with favorable weather conditions from
this time forward there ought not to be
any reason why we should not have up
here a reasonably abundant crop. So far
as Minnesota is concerned, the state as a
whole never suffered from a crop failure
This year ii may be true that in some To-
calities where the ground is fiat and low
and rains have been heavy the plant has
developed too much rankneSs, but such
areas are necessarily quite limited"

WELCOMED HIM ROYALTY
Admiral Dewey the Recipient of
Marked Honors at Colombo.
HEALTH IS FAIRLY GOOD
Hero OF Manila Presented With Rich
Silver Casket as a Memento of
His Visit-Will Remain in
Ceylon Week.

Colombo, Ceylon June 22.--The cruis-
er Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on
board, arrived here at 6 o'clock this
morning from Singapore. She saluted
the forts ashore and was saluted by
the latter in return. An aide-de-camp
representing the governor of Ceylon,
Hon. Sir Joseph West Ridgeway,
boarded the Olympia at I o'clock in
order to welcome Admiral Dewey and
Colonel Savage, commanding the
troops, made a visit at 10 o'clock. The
visits were returned at II o'clock.
Admiral Dewey was met at the jet
ties by a guard of honor and amidst
cheering drove in the governors car
riage to breakfast with Colonel Savage
The admiral afterward took rooms at
the Galoface hotel and returned on
board the Olympia at l o'clock. There
he received a deputation representing
the Planters association and the cham
Der of commerce. and was presented
with a silver casket and an address as
memento of his visit.
The admiral will remain in Ceylon
about week. He says he had a good
voyage from Singapore and that his
health is fairly good.
The presentation of the casket to
the Olympia instead of in the council
| chamber because his doctor had for
hidden him to participate in any func-
ton. The delegates also presented
1000 pounds of tea to the crew of the
Olympia. The admiral, replying to the
address of welcome. said he wished
he could reply in adequate terms re-
ciprocating the sentiments expressed
But, he added. he spoke from his heart
when he said he deeply appreciated
the welcome.
Admiral Dewey added that he would
have the very acceptable present of
tea distributed as desired, incidentally
mentioning that he was lifelong tea
drinker himself, and assuring the COM
| mittee that the address would be read
at muster" and afterward framed
| and preserved. The casket, he remark
| ed, he would always keep on his table,
| and he told the delegates that he
would report the matter to his govern
ment and describe the cordially of his
reception @#
Continuing, Admiral Dewey remark
| ed: THAT cheer raised on the jetty
when / landed went to the hearts of
all of us. We are $4,000 miles from
| home, but that cheer will be heard
| in America, although the way in which
| it has touched me / shall never be
| able to fully express. The two nations
We're never so closely allied by mu-
| tual sympathy and appreciation as
| now. The American people realized
| this during the late war, and you can
| imagine how all those who We're at
| Manila and met Sir Edward Chiches-
| ter, commander of the British first
| class cruiser Immortalite. and his gal
| liant comrades, hold that feeling very
| deeply"
A general conversation followed, and
| after toasting "The Anglo-Saxon
| Union" the prosperity of the two
| countries, the delegation departed.
Admiral Dewey now says it is i'm
| prabable that he will go to Handy and
| that he intends staying in Colombo.

HOW THEYWERE CAPTURED
SHERIFF TELLS OF BAGGING THE
SUSPECTED TRAIN ROBBERS.
Gave Their Name Thompson and Say
They Are Brothers, Which Is Said
to Be Untrue.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena June pr. ]. Moore, under
sheriff of Beaverhead county, who was
called here as witness before the
United States grand jury, and who led
the party that effected the capture of
the two alleged Union Pacific train
robbers near Red Rock Tuesday, says
that the newspaper accounts of the
manner in which the capture was eff
fected were wrong. The two men were
taken in the morning instead of even
ing. The under sheriff and one other
of the party effected the capture.
They rode up to the B. Carver ranch,
on Medicine Lodge creek, where the
two men were at work, about 10 o'clock
in the morning Neither man was arm
ed, and they We're arrested without any
difficulty. Both had guns in the cabin
where they slept and had been in the
habit of wearing them while at work
every day except the day they We're
captured. They claim they bear the
name of Thompson and that they are
brothers.
Mr.. Moore says that if they are not
the train robbers they must be mixed
up in some other crime, as he learned
from certain letters found upon their
persons enough to convince him they
are not brothers, their name is not
Thompson, and that they have recently
assumed that name. The letters showed
that they either came recently from In
dian Territory or had relatives there.
Both are under 80 years of age. When
arrested one of them remarked to the
other: IF / ever get a hold of him l
don't believe he will show up for a
week" a remark that leads the officer
to believe they think some one had
given them away. Moore believes they
have a partner in hiding in the hills.
who has the horses and camp outfit be-
longing to the party.
Moore left tonight, for Dillon to be
on hand when the men arrive from
Wyoming, and who expect to identify
them
Marshal Woolman has heard nothing
new from Sheriff Dunn of Wyoming,
who at last accounts was on the trail
of the alleged robbers in the Sinking
Water river country. The marshal is
of the opinion that Sheriff Dunn is per-
haps on the right trail and that the
Beaverhead county suspects are inno-
cent of the charge.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Managers and Men Delay in Entering
Into a Conference.


Denver, Colo, June every little
news has been obtainable in regard TO
the smelter strike situation in the past
"a hours. There is little doubt that the
delay in reSuming operations is due
simply to failure of the managers and
men to get together for conference. but
whether this failure is due to pride on
the part of both sides or to the fact, as
has been alleged, that the smelter COM
pany is not yet ready to resume, is not
so clear. A very large majority of the
men in Denver and at other points are
said to be anxious to return to work at
practically the terms offered by the
company. The managers of the smell
tiers belonging to the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company who We're in
the city held long conference to-day,
which was attended by Manager Jones
of the Germania smelter of Salt Lake
Manager Grant of the Omaha & Grant
smelter here stated to-day that he had
been misguided regarding the position
of the trust managers on the eight hour
system. He says that so far as the
furnace men and others whose work
must be done "a hours a day are con-
cerned three eight-hour shifts would be
perfectly satisfactory, but in the case
of yardmen and others who have al
ways worked 10 hours per day it is not
regarded as practicable to increase the
force so as to have the work done in
eight hours. For this work the COM
pany prefers the old arrangements.

NAVAL MILITIA DRILLS.
Badger VIII BE Placed in Service for
This Work.

Washington, June 22.-Acting Secre-
tary Allen to-day perfected his plans
for the drills of the naval militia or
ganiZation on the Pacific coast and the
result is announced in letters addressed
to the governors of the states. The de-
partment has selected the Badger for
the Pacific militiamen. A large part of
the regular crew of this ship will be
detached and placed temporarily on the
receiving ship at Mare island n order
to make room for the miltiamen while
the drills are going on. With a view
to giving to each organization an equal
amount of practical experience at sea.
the department has planned that the
Badger shall embark the San Francisco
division July 90, off San Francisco, and
the Eureka division Will embark on
July &c.
The drill period is for eigh, days, at
the conclusion of which each division
will be landed at it's Respective port.
The Santa Cruz division will be en-
barked Aug. 4, the Santa Barbara d.
vision Aug. and the San Diego divis-
ion Aug. for similar periods of eight
days. The state is expected 10 pay the
expenses Of feeding the men and IF bed
ding them Hereafter the allotment of
the appropriation for equipping the ma
val militia will be based upon the num-
per OF properly uniformed petty OT1lcefS
and enlisted men of each state who per-
form the annual tour of duty.
One day of the eight will be allowed
in port for organization and the vessel
must be at sea eight days. The watch
duties will be performed by the militia
officers and the men be instructed in
the routine duties of men -of-warsmen
and particularly in target practice. The
naval militia of Oregon will be en-
barked Aug. q at Portland, disembark-
ing Aug. % under similar conditions.

EXPRESS COMPANY CHANGES.
American May Suppiant the Pacific on
the Union Pacific System.

the Union Pacific System.
Omaha. Neb., June 22--The Bee to-
morrow will say: Apropos of the re-
moval of a part of the headquarters OF
the Pacific Express company from
Omaha to St. Louis, the report is re-
yiyed that this company is to be sup
planted on the Union Pacific system
by the American Express company 1t
is known that the American Express
company people have been trying for
some time to secure the Union Pacific.
but as the latter owns 40 per cent. OF
the stock of the Pacific Express com
pany, the effort so far has not proved
successful. Now that the announce
ment has been made that the Paclnc
EXPIRES company will move a portion
of it's Headquarters the belief is gaining
ground that the effort to bring about
the change is possibly nearer realization
than at any time in the past.
The statement has been made that
the present management Of the Union
Pacific has been using its influence to
displace the Pacific company This
might be expected, as the management
is considered as representing the Van
derbit interests and even if the change
is not to be made soon 1t eventually
will be brought about. Another phase
of the matter is that the removal OF
the Pacific Express companys head
quarters to ST. Louis is bluff to force
the American to buy out that COM
pany 1t is reported that year ago or
so such a deal was almost CONSUME
mated While the stock of the Pacific
Express company has been paying divi-
dends, they are said TO be unsatiSfac-
tory in amount, and it is said the roads
interested in the company, although
some of them are not identified with the
Vanderbilts, would be more than glad
to unload To this end the decision to
move to st. Louis. where the company
can enter into competition for the bust
ness of Eastern roads, is said to have
been decided upon with the hope that
rather than have this company enter
the Eastern field. the other companies,
or one of them, would buy up the
stock.
