Eight nurinE Might.

HELsINGFoRs. Finland. Aug. 1.-The
fight between the mutineers and the loyal
troops was waged during most Of last
night. The cannonade was heavy, the fir
ing OF the guns furnishing an awe-inspir-
ing spectacle to the thousands lining the
points Of vantage on observatory hill
The loyal minority seemed to command
the fort on Nicolai island, which was en-
gagged in duel with sandham's formid-
able masked batteries. At 10 o'clock this
morning they were still exchanging broad
sides at ten-minutes intervals. The vic
tins transported to Helsingfors numbered
less than nifty. Of whom fifteen are dead,
but thus far the number of killed or
wounded in the Sveaborg hospitals has
not been ascertainable
Order has been restored at Skatudden
island, where 110 sailors and eleven civil
iRns have been disanS4ed.
From the civilian point of view the local
situation lie easier. No cruisers are visible.
Troops are expected here. but the de-
Btruction of the bridge near Rihimaeki

Better Prices Under the Present
Methods of Buying Grain.

Senator lie Toilette contrasts the
present methods with "the old days
when the farmers brought their grain
TO market and the buyers gathered
around and bid for the product. Now
the farmer has to hunt up the buyers
in their offices-there is no competi'
ton, for the profits of the buyers
are pooled"
The first part of this statement is
true; the second is not. Methods
have changed, but it is all to the adj
vantage of the farmer. He gets more
under the present condition than
would be possible if former practices
were in vogue. 1t is true that in most
of the primary markets throughout
the West his buying is limited to two
or three parties. At the smaller sta
lions sometimes only one buyer is
present This is not because of any
destruction of competition by unlaW-
full methods; it is simply because the
parties operating the handling plants,
which they themselves own, can az
ford to and do pay higher prices for
grain than any one not possessed OF
such facilities. Wagon buyers are
just as free to operate as ever tney
were, but the expense of handling
grain by the primitive method is pro-
hibitory. The farmer of the West, in
stead of being limited to the com
petition of the local buyers Of MS
particular railroad station, has now
the advantage Of the competition OF
the world markets.
There are number of large gram
concerns which put into the hands cf
every regular buyer at every locSi
station on every railroad each morD-
ing of the year a postal or telegraph
offer based on the close of the pre-
vious days markets in Chicago, New
York and Liverpool, whichever maT
be the highest. These men are ex-
pected to telegraph how much they
will sell at these prices and there Is
the sharpest kind Of competition be-
tween the buyers at the local sta
lions to get as much grain as possible.
So keen is this strife that the prices
paid for grain frequently allow less
than one-half cent bushel margin
for the buyer-all of which inures to
the direct advantage of the farmer.
Under the old method margin OK
three to six cents, and frequently
moro, was exacted by the buyer in
order to insure himself against loss.
This great benefit to the producer
has been made possible through the
concentration of the business into
comparatively few hands and the CO.
operation of the railroads in equaliz-
ing rates to the various ports.-From
the Railway and Engineering Review.

Our Point of Danger

At what point shall we expect the
approach of danger? Shall we expect
some transatlantic military blow?
Never! All the armies of Europe,
Asia and Africa combined, with all
the treasures of the earth, our own
excepted, in their military chest, with
Bonaparte for commander, could
not, by force, take drink from the
Ohio, or make a track on the Blue
Ridge, in trial of thousand years.
At what point, then. is this ap-
proach of danger to be expected?
answer, if it ever reach us, it must
spring up among US; it cannot come
from abroad. If destruction be our
lot, we must ourselves be its author
and finisher. AS nation of freemen,
we must live through all time or die
by suicide.-Abraham Lincoln.

erican troops was citizen soldier,
Gen. Leonard Wright Colby, law
yer of Beatrice, Neb. He took the In
dian baby home with him, and he
and his wife adopted her. They call
ed her Lost Bird, because the Fame
seemed appropriate.
Yesterday the Sioux chief Little
Cloud, leading band of warriors,
made raid ON the residence of Gen.
Colby, at Beatrice. He had been IN
the Wounded Knee fight and when he
fed before the pursuing bluecoats his
girl papoose was left behind. Little
Cloud heard recently that his daugh-
ter had been taken away from the
Rosebud agency by Gen. Colby, and
it so happened that the circus with
which Little Cloud is doing Wild
West stunts was billed to appear yes
terday at Beatrice.
So Little Cloud, gathering his war
riors, started off to abduct Lost BIRD
from the Colby residence. Waving
tomahawks, the Indians made forcl-
BILE entry into the home of the Ne
braska General. But Lost Bird was
not there. Neither was General Col

But where was Lost Bird? me
question was answered today by Oh
ficials of the United States Indian
Bureau. She is out in Oregon-no-
body could remember the post ONCE
address-with Mrs. Clara Bewick Col
by, the divorced wife of the General,
whom he had married in 1871. When
Lost Bird was taken from the Rose
bud agency the Colbys were living
together. In addition to being a cltl-
zen-soldier at that time, Gen. Colby
was an Assistant Attorney-General OF
the United States, stationed in WASH
ington. So Lost Bird was brought 10
the capital by the General and his
wife.
The Colbys remained here until
change of administration left Gen. Col
by without an office. Then they went
back to Beatrice and took Lost Bro
with them. That was in 1893. SUISSE
quently Gen. Colby served two terms
in the Nebraska State Senate. lie

One Weeks Barter.

There never was more conscien-
tious person than Mrs. Foster, but
she enjoyed shopping, hunting bar
gains and exchanging goods. 1t was
as a result of these combined tastes
that she was one day confronted by
an ethical problem which she turned
over to her husband.

her most earnest manner. Il don't

LOST BIRD FOUND IN OREGON.
She Is a Wait of the Battle of
Wounded Knee.

Lost Bird has been found; that is,
her whereabouts is known. She is in
Oregon, far from the maddening crowd
and further still from the alfalfa
covered plains of her childhood. Lost
Bird is an Indian maiden, comely as
Indian maidens go, but more Caucas-
ian than Indian in her ideas and
mode of living, for it has been more
than fifteen years since Lost Bird
was last in the wigwam of her father.
Lost Bird was a waif of battle. In
the winter of 1909, when her people,
the Rosebud agency Sioux, were
moved down by the bullets of the
paleface soldiers at Wounded Knee,
Lost Bird was left, helpless, blan-
1et bound papoose, in the deserted
tepee of her parents. With the Am

Oh, the jasper tinted day
And the sapphire, golden skies, for

Where I waited on the turnpike

AS you drove the COWS to pasture In
