Avoiding Infantry Charges.

From the information which the censor
has allowed 10 pass IL is as yet impossible
to form a correct notion Of the British
tactics. On thing. however, is quite clear
The British commanders have profited by
experience. and are now ay yoiding infantry
charges, giving preference TO the more
jUdicious use OF artillery. The general
idea is that Sir Redvers Butler, with
some 5000 men and eighteen field guns. is
holding the northern bank of the Tugels
at Potgieter's Drift. while Sir Charles
Warren. with about 1900 men. thirty
guns. and d large force of cavalry. is
working around the right flank of the
Beers. eight or ten miles away.
one account OF Saturdays nghtinC SAYS
that the British had few killed. Little
reliance can be placed upon these re-
ports. and although the main position Of

nothing is known as 10 its strength, Sat

land on many classes of her products
a preference of 25 per cent. in the Gus
toms charges, If this does not prove
to be sufficient to turn the current of
trade across the Atlantic, the chances
are that with the growing feeling to-
ward the mother country, which the
present war in South Africa is doing
much to stimulate, a larger concession
will be granted and it is not impossi-
BILE that some form of customs Snion
will be established. If we can, how
ever, tie Canada to us by fair recip-
rocal trade treaty such misfortune
for it would be one for us--can be eff
fectively prevented. We can not only
hold what / have already said, rela-
lively speaking, the best foreign mar
ket we have, but can greatly increase
it, because as highly civilized and in
dustrious people the Canadians are
large consumers of manufactured
goods, and instead of selling them at
the rate of $3.50 per capita our sales
in Canada might be advanced to $50 or
$40 per capita. AS one of the trade
centers of New England, and one which
by railroad connections is in direct COM
munication with the Dominion Of Can
ada, it is to be hoped that the BUSINESS
men of New Haven will do their part
in the work of maintaining and en-
larging this best and nearest Of for
eign markets.

ana there was no response. Morehouse
| didn't wait long before acting. He
leaped into the cab grasped the whis-
tie handle and pulled it wide open.
Such an unearthly Shrek as no one
ever heard before or since came from
that engine. The whistle evidently
had the asthma, heaves, and several
other lung and throat diseases. for it
made noise that frightened the white
men.
did it frighten the Indians? Well,
| should say it did. When that Nhis-
tie opened it's throat a panic was the
result among the savages. They fled
as if the evil spirit was pursuing them.
There was plenty of steam in the boil
er, a good fire was burning, and More
house hung on to that whistle handle
like grim death. At first he sent forth
long shrieks, but after the savages had
been sent flying across the plain some
distance he gave them few shrill,
short screams to increase their pace.
1.-THE air is so light in Nebraska, or
rather was at that time, that the
sounds of the whistle travelled for
miles. Not only did CONSERVATION
break out among the savages who were
near the engine, but others mile
away became alarmed, When they
saw their brothers running they, too,
became frightened and joined in the
wild run up and down hills across
plains and through rivers. Morehouse
was the occasion of all that excitement
and that is why he is called the cham
pion Indian killer"
But where does the Indian killing
come in?" Mr.. Ledngham was asked.
"Well, the next morning 100 dead In
dams We're found fifteen miles from
the place where the engine stood. They
had run themselves to death, and
Morehouse, of course, was the cause of
their untimely taking off. He can be
blamed for frightening the savages to |
death with that blood curdling whis- |

j, c. Morehouse, general freight
agent for Chicago and Northwestern
lines west of Omaha. is known
throughout the west as the champion
Indian killer" Mr.. Morehouse is
proud of the distinguished title, but is
rather reticent about relating the cir
eumstances that made him somewhat
famous His friend, l.. Lidngham,
however, knows all about the affair,
and when at the Auditorium, told of
the thrilling experience Mr.. Morehouse
had in the west.
when the first steam engine to en-
ter northwestern Nebraska made its
appearance in that part Of the coun-
try" said Mr. Lidingham, "Morehouse
was in charge Of the construction
gang which was then working on the
road. The engine steamed out into the
wild country as far as the line was
built. That section of the state was
alive With Indians, and thousands of
the savages gathered to see the iron
horse. AT first they would not venture
nearer than half mile to the locomo-
tive, but finally they became holder.
They came so near, in fact, that the
trainmen became alarmed. Several
shots were fired at the red men to
brighten them, but they did not have
the desired effct, for the Indians came
nearer and nearer. The engineer and
fireman became frightened and desert
ed the engine.
Those reds will kill every one of us
if something is not done said one of
the men. Just then Morehouse, who
was watching the advancing savages
called out to the engineer:
