spirit Of unrest affected not olly the
Boones, but the Lincolhs. They
moved southwark to Virginia, and
thence to Kentucky. One branch OF
the Lincolns remained in Pennsyl-

frontier.
From there his ION Abraham re-
moved into Kentucky in 1882, and was

Pennsylvania is not known, but it Is
certain that there we're ties which
bound and kept them closely together,
not only here, but throughout their
wanderings in Virginia, and finally
into Kentucky, where the President
was born.
A pleasant feature Of this visit to
the ancestral places Of the Lincolns
was the cali on Abraham Lincoln, near
Churchtown, Lancaster county. In

III you own the roof over your head
you don't know what real trouble Is"
said the factory hand to the New
York Times man. "Of course folk
have got 10 eat and they've got to
have clothes to wear, but Il isn't the
thought Of that that's always hang
ing over their heads, and making
them work themselves 70 death when
they've got work and fret themselves
to death when they haven't. Every
now and then we see something in the
papers showing how easy It is for a
poor widow Cor worse than widow to
feed herself and a family Of children
on 70 cents a day, and II the woman
has got good Judgment and under
stands marketing such stories are not
so far wide Of the mark. Oatmeal and
potatoes r cheap and there's odds
and ends Of meat and bones that may
be had for next 10 nothing that will
make good soup. AS for clothes, all
poor folk who try to keep themselves
looking decently know how far o n
trivance will go in making them hold
out. Skirts may be TUNED inside out
or dyed when they are faded or spot
ted and there's a lot Of wear in the
secondhand shoes that the cobblers
sell cheaply. OF course we'd all
rather eat the best steaks and wear
silk and velvet, but It is not having
to do without them that keeps folk
awake at night. 1t is the rent. That
goes steadily on, nc matter whether
you are lying around idle, and It is a
happy day for a tenant when the land
lord can be talked into bringing down
the rent by a dollar. Not that all
landlords are hard-hearted, as some
folk seem to think. Landlords are just
like all other men, some being better
and some worse. Now, there's a poor
woman who works in the same place
with me-a widow with two children
and she lives in one Of the toughest
neighborhoods in the city. Well, last
fall, when that woman was too sick to
go to work, she got SIS b~ehindhand
with her rent, and found out afterward
that the man whose business it was
to collect it had been paying it out
of his own pocket right straight along.
The house belonged to a family in
which there we're some minors, and
so all expenses and revenues had to
be accounted for to the family law
yers, and that was why the eldest
son, who collected the rents in per-
son, could not remit the widows Sc
a month, as his father might have
done; but all the same he wasn't go
ing to see her turned out on the street,
knowing her to be a good tenant. OF
course she began to pay the money
back as SOC as she got to work again,
but it was a great help. his advanc-
ing it, for if it hadn't been for that
she would have had to part with her
sewing machine, which she had just
finished paying for on the installment
plan. AS long as she can hold on to
that machine there is no great dan
ger Of her starving unless she is too
sick to hold her head up. There is a
benevolent society that, when she is
laid of from the shop on account Of
work being slack, gives her four wrap
pers a week to make at 80 cents apiece
and pays for them in provisions"

Lamentable Truth.

The publisher of a newspaper has one thing to sell and one thing to rent, says an exchange. He has the newspaper to sell and the space in its column for rent. Can ssy one inform us why he should be expected to give away either the one or the otherf He can # he so chooses, and he does as a matter of fact, furnish a great deal of space rent free. But it does not follow that he ought to be expected to do so. It ought to be recognized as 6 contribution, ex- actly as the giving away of sugar or coffee by a grocer. But, strange to say, 1t is not looked upon in that light by all; and yet everybody knows tbat the existence of a news paper depends upon the rent Of its space and the paper, as a merchants success depends on selling his goods instead of giving them away.
 Another point to be noticed in this connection is that when a news paper or anybody connected with it Is in need of a sack of four, box of fruit or any article to be found in a dry goods or hardware store, they buy it at prices fixed by the local dealer and without any effort to dicker for special rates. People would ridicule them if they were to invite sealed bids. When a measly little job of printing is to be done there are some people who think that the newspaper ought to be re- quired to bid against each other for it. They hold to these views not withstanding the fact that the ma terial evidence is before them that the newspapers do more effective work for the community, distribute more money among the trades peo- pie and receive less return for the money invested than any other bus mess in the country.

NaVsiOes and ofieers Nave a Fight
 Word was received iD Prescott las, evening that a fight had occurred between Navajo Indians and a sberid's posse east of Flags; af, in which three officers were wounded and SIX Indians killed. 4 special 10 our cOnte mporary has ihe following version of the affair:
 Depnty Shsriffs Hogan and Roden were brought in from Walnut this morning, wounded, after hard light with NAvajoes, about fifteen miles south of Navajo station. A cowboy named Montgomery, in the employ of Roden, had been misused by the Naysjoes, who aroused him of steal ing their horses. Montgomery sa- cured a warrant for the arrest of the Indians. A posse of four men under Deputy Sheriff Dan Hogan left here Thursday and surprised the Indians in camp at the Ashurst ranch last night The officers dismounted and left their Winchesters with their horses, not expecting any resistance. As they approached the Indian camp they were lred upon. The officers returned the fire with their pistols. Hogan had only two shots in his revolver. Montgomery fell, shot through the left breast at the first fire. The horses then stamp eded leaving the officers helpless. ROden was shot through the groin and Hogan received three flesh wounds. An Indian had drawn 8 bead On Hogan with his rife when Hogan threw his pistol at the h. dian, making the latter miss. Hogan then grappled with the Navajo for the possession of the Indians Win chester, which he secured. killing the chief and the Indian who had wounded him. The officers are pos- tive that they killed six out of the party of seven Indians. Hogan be- came separated from his compan- ions and made his way to Walnut. walking all night. Durham. who was unhuIt, and Roden, though painfully wounded, made their way to Angell, about seven miles east of Walnut. The doctor says Roden's wounds are serious. Hogan's are flesh wounds. One Indian escaped Wounded. A report from Canyon Disblo says the Indians Jeff for the reservation this morning. The peo- pie of Flagstaff are excited, but do not apprehend an uprising. regard ing this as an individual case. The Indians were 8 hunting party, and had a ton of dried venison unlax- fully killed.

4 dispatch from Anaconda, Mon tana, of Saturday, gives one the im pression that the question of Sena- tor Clark's election is not as yet re- heved from the throes of political corruption advanced against him, and startling developments may be expected in a judicial channel in consequence.

 "The tune of the supreme court of Montana has been taken up with the hearing of the charges against John B. Welcome, one of W. A.. Clark's attorneys, Sho was Clark's confidential man during the sena- torial election last winter, and who is accused of having distributed at that time a large sum of money in the alleged bribery of members of the legislature in the int srest of Clark. The process pending in the supreme court is for the disbar- ment of Welcome.
