TELLING MOTHER.

When was still an urchin small
Ills long ago-but l recall
My playmates oft ;Srmented me.
Then from them turned angrily.
And, sobbing, cried: "Oh. stop your botheri
III go right home and tell my mother!'
Z grew in time a little man,
And, as boys will. oft began
In turn to tease and plague my mates;
But faring lilo cruel latest
Smarting with blows from one or t'other,
ran, ana told It to my mother.
When, later on, went to school.
Too strict found the teachers rule:
tried so hard 10 do his will.
But all In vain, he scolded still,
Until l tried my tears TO smother.
And cried: 'Tll tell II to my mother"
An! since that long-departed day
Ay mother dear has passediaway,
Sorrow and pain have wrung my breast.
TIL, oft with cares and griefs oppressed
think Of this time and that other:
'Oh, could tell II to my motherP

ment of commission to be appointed
by the president of the United States
to whom shall be referred all ques-
tions at issue between tile companies

RIVAL cHocTAw GOVERNORS.
At Tuskahoma the Partisans of t. w. Hun.
ter and Green McCurtain Are Con-
tending for supremacy,

Tuskahoma, I. T.. Oct. 12.-Since
Monday there has been struggle
between two factions in the Choctaw
nation at the tribal council in Tuska-
homa. The legislature was to have
met Monday and the new governor
sworn in. The unofficial returns
from the recent tribal elections
showed a majority for Green McCur-
tain for governor, although the leg
islature was about equally divided be-
tween McCurtain and his rival for
the governorship, T. w. Hunter. Gov.
Dukes, the present incumbent, is a
bitter anti-McCurtain man. Before
the legislature was to convene he
took charge of the capitol and with
his light horsemen has since con-
trolled the building. The Hunter men
organized themselves and proceed
ed to declare Hunter governor. The
McCurtain followers did likewise and
seated their man. The dual govern
ments have now existed two days but
no trouble has ensued.

DIRIGIBLE BALLOON FELL.
De Bradsky, the Aeronaut, and Companion
Kiled Near Paris After Taking an
Exciting VOYAGE.

Paris, Oct. 14.-De Bradslly, the aero
naut, and companion, were killed by
falling from a dirigible balloon Mon
day. The balloon started from the
aero station at Vaugiriard, a suburb
of this city, at 1855 a. M, on a trial
trip. After preliminary maneuvering
with rope attached De Bradslly re
leased the balloon and proceeded
southwark at q height of 500 or 400
feet. The propellers of the machine
appeared to work well. The rudder,
however, was not quite successful.
The accident occurred about $50
when the balloon was above Stains,
near st. Denis, the ropes attaching
the car to the balloon broke from
some unknown cause and the car,
with its occupants, De Bradsky and
NORM, were dashed to the ground
and the aeronauts met. instantaneous
death. The balloon itself disappeared
in the clouds.

GROVER cLEvELAND's VIEW.
The Ex- President Thinks the Democrats
VIII Be Successful In Congressional
Campaign on the Tariff Issue.

New York, Oct. Ito a repre-
sentative of the Evening Post who
asked him his views in regard to the
outlook for and the duty of the de-
mocracy in the approaching congress
sional elections, ex-President Grover
Cleveland said: ''It seems to me that
if the democracy is really in earnest
it cannot fail largely to increase its
representation in the next congress,
but in order to do so I think that
there must be a constant and stall
wart insistence upon the things
which are recognized by all to be true
democratic doctrines. Of course, by
far the most important of these is
tariff reform. On this issue 1 am
satisfied that the democracy is face
to face with a great opportunity.
All of the signs of the times point to
a recognition, far beyond all party
lines, of the benefits which would
accrue to the people by a readjust-
ment of the tariff, and it would be
worse than folly for the party under
the stress of any temptation or
yielding to any allurement to permit
this to be subordinated to or over
Swallowed by any other ISSUE

A CONFLICT AVERTED
Federal Troops Prevent Clash Be-

McCurtain Sworn In Principal
Chief, Having $50 Ma

Washington, Oct. IA serious
conflict between partisans of rival
candidates for the governorship of
the Choctaw Indian nation, in the
Indian territory, has been averted
by the presence of federal troops,
according to dispatches received at
the interior department. Gov. Dukes,
the outgoing governor, who is said
to be a partisan of Hunter, one of
the candidates, took charge of the
capitol building, assisted by armed
horsemen, and, according to Indian
Agent Schoenfeld, arbitrarily per-
mitted persons to enter and sit as
members of the choctaw council upon
commissions issued by himself and
refused to admit members having GER
tificates from the regularly consti-
tuted authorities. Agent Schoenfeld
appealed to Washington for troops.
On their arrival the Choctaw council
was permitted to enter the building
and resume its sessions The Off
cial dispatches received yesterday
show that the votes of the council
for the Office of principal chief (gov-
ernor) was counted Sunday. Green
McCurtain had n majority of $50 and
was duly sworn in. Agent Schoenfeld
wires that the presence of the troops
prevented a clash between contend
ing factions and that he now antici-
pates no further trouble. All the
armed men in the Choctaw capitol
or capitol grounds have been dis
armed or removed by the troops.

MINERS NoTSATIsFIED,
Poss bility That the Proposition of Opera
tors VIII Not BE Accepted In Its
Present Form

WiIkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-From
thorough canvass of the situation as,
it existed last night there is every
indication that the new arbitration
plan proposed by the presidents OF
the coal companies for ending the,
miners strike will not be accepted
in its present form. There is a -di-
vision of opinion among the strik-.
ers. but there is no doubt that a ma
iority feel that the offer to have the
president of the United States select
an arbitration commission along the
lines suggested by the operators is
not fair and that it unduly limits
the president in making up the board.
