This trun1peter wiN not give the story away by indicating how this transJormotion shall come obout-whether through the re- morse or repentance of Red, his conviction of sin, his fear of inc damnahon of the wicked, his yearnines for the peace That passeh understanding, or wheth- CT 1t shall be the 1ope of 1poman that shall bring this giant to his Knees and make him as c Lttle child.

 "Now. don't you get Oneasy," says he. Just watch"
 ''Biffr' says the old gun. and this time, sure enough, the Iniun was knocked clear of the rock. I felt all along that he wouldn't be much of comfort 10 his friends afterward if that gun did land on him.
 Still, he wasn't so awful dead, for as we jumped for the horses he kind of hitched himself to the rock, and, lay ing the rife across it and working the lever with his left hand. he sent a hole plumb through my hat

 As we rode up to him my pard held dead on him The Injun stood up straight and tall and looked us square in the ere. Say, he was a man. I tell you, redskin or no redskin, The cour- age just stuck out on him as he stood there waiting to pass in his checks.

 We loped along quiet and easy until sun up. The, Grindstone Buttes lay about a mile ahead of us. Looking back, we saw the Injuns coming over rise of ground way in the distance.
 "Now," says my friend, q know short cut through those hills that'll bring us out at Johnson's. They've got enough punchers there to do the Unit ed States army up-starched and blued. Shall we take it?'
 "Surer says I. "I'm only wander ing round this part of the country be- cause this part of the country is here if 1t was anywheres else I'd be just as glad"
 So in we went. It was the steepest and narrowest kind of a canyon, look. ing as if it had been cut out of the rock with one crack of the ax. I was just thinking, Gee whiz, but this would be poor place to get snagged in," when bang! says a rife right in front of us, and m-e-arr! goes the bull let over our heads.
 We were off them horses and behind a couple of chunks of rock sooner than we hoped for, and that's saying good deal.
 "Cussed poor shot, whoever he is," says my friend. Some Injun holding us here till the rest come up, I pre- sume."
 That's about the size of it-and I'd like to make you bet that he does it, too, if I thought I'd have a chance to collect"
 "Oh, you can't always tell-you might lose your money" says he, kind of thoughtful.
 T wouldn't mind that half as much as winning" says I. "But on the square, do you think we can get out? I'll jump him with you if you say so, although I ain't got what you might call passion for suicide"
 "Now you hold on bit," says he. q don't know but what we'd have done better to stick to the horses and run for it, but it's too late to think of that. Jumping him Is all foolishness: he'd sit behind his little rock and pump lead into us till we wouldn't float in brine-and we can't back out now.'
 He talked so calm he made me kind of mad. "Well," says I, ''in that case let's play Simon says thumbs up till the rest of the crowd comes."
 ''There you go!' says he. "Just like all young fellers-gettin' hosstyle right away if you don't fall in with their plans. Now, sonny, you keep your temper and watch me play cushion carroms with our friend there."
 Meaning how?"
 You see that block of stone just this side of him with the square face toward us? Well, he's only covered in front, and I'm a-going to shoot against that face and ketch him on the glance"

Conditions In Chicago of Interest
To Iowa Producers.
Chicago, Dec. 10.

Chicago, Dec. Is.
CATTLE-The market did not close
up in very good shape last week and
the trade was expecting lighter run
for today; however, with about 5000
head carried over from last week and
fresh receipts of around $4,000 head
today, it was entirely too large for the
trade to handle on anything like a
steady basis, Market opened weak
and slow and before the day was
over the bulk of the. offerings had to
be disposed of at decline of 1Oc@
15c per cwt. The trade was uneven
and at the close a good many cattle
were in first hands without any salts
factory bids. We will have to have
light receipts Of both steers and
butcher stuff in order to see any i'm
provement in the trade as these
heavy runs are bound to hold the cat
tie market down on low level.
HOGS-Receipts today were esti-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000 early with
5000 carried over from Saturday. Mar
ket opened 10c@15c lower. There
were few hogs sold at the decline.
Later receipts were called $4,000 to
$4,000; market became more active,
prices fully as good as the best time
of Saturday Both shippers and pack
ers seemed to feel Indifferent early
in the morning, but the statesmen all
held out and did not feel like taking
off 10c@ 15c. Buyers were compelled
to fall in line and the market closed
very active with everything sold that
was offered. Top On fancy butchers,
$40, with bulk of fair to best butch
ers $4.50@4.65. Fair to best mixed
and packing grades S440@4.55. We
do not believe packers will be able
to force these hogs much If any low
err We look for fair market right
along; however, we do not figure on
any big advance soon. We believe
you are taking no chances in buying
these hogs to sell around present
prices.
SHEEP-There is nothing very
good to report in the condition of our
sheep and lamb market, as prices con-
tinue ON a low basis and while lambs
closed UP rather strong today, sheep
were generally 10c@15c lower. We
believe it well to hold back sheep for
while now and give this market a
chance to react.

be construed to be other than any
man in bitter contest, anxious to
conciliate every bit of available
support, would have written, Gov
ernor Cummins. even under that
pressure, did not say he would
not be candidate for the senate.
The letter makes it perfectly plain
that he had in mind when he
wrote it not to say that he would
not under any circumstances stand
against Senator Allison"
The Herald has probably not Pub
bed up against as many Iowa people
as has the Register and Leader, but
its experience has been that the peo-
pie of Iowa are tired of being asked
to split hairs over the technicalities
in the utterances of public men. What
they want is candidate that wears
his heart where others are disposed to
wear medals of honor. They want a
man who thinks before he speaks. and
who is willing to abide by the conse-
quences of his words. They want a
man of convictions who will not be
swayed by every little storm that
blows. They want man who viii
make the same speech in Lyons coun-
ty that he does in Lee county. They
want a man they can underestimate
man who says today exactly what he
means to do tomorrow. They are
tired of guessing and lodging, and ex-
cusing.
These observations are not intend
ed as personal to Governor Cummins,
Just because he happens to be in the
limelight. If majority of the peo-
pie of Iowa prefer him to Senator Al
lison for their representative in
Washington, it is their privilege to
so honor him.
But that is not the question. The
point at issue is that public man
should be made to stand by his words,
and we insist that any double mean
ing words spoken or any defense that
is raised for Misrepresentation in pol
itics should be used as big stick
against the man or men who give
them utterance.

Muscatine, Ia, Dec. 1.-THE great
est revival meeting ever held in the
United States in the last hundred
years has just closed in Muscatine.
Billy Sunday, base ball evangelist,
concluded his five weeks series OF
meetings; 1879 converts answered
his urgent invitation, breaking all re-
cords ever made by any other evan
gelist in the country, On the final
day sos joined the forces of righteous
ness.
At great mems meeting Sunday
afternoon it was decided to form a
civic league and take up the matter OF
fighting the saloons.
The collection ON the final day
amounted to over $4,000, the largest
amount, $500, being given by w. l..
Roach, the most prominent lumberman
in Iowa, who is numbered among the
converts.
At night meeting the crowd was
so great when the doors were opened
that less than half were accommodate
ed in the great tabernacle, and over
flow meetings were held in four
churches. In the rush for seats sew
eral people were injured, and scores
of women and children tainted.

says that the people of Iowa should
not take a public man seriously in the
utterances he may make in the heat

act we quote the closing paragraph
of the editorial:
Governor Cummins was hard
pressed In his canvass for the gov
ernorship when the letter was
written. and he was particular not
to offend the friends of Senator
Allison without at the same time
absolutely shutting the senatorial
door in his own face. The letter.

under which it was written. is just
such a letter as has been written
thousands OF times before.

concerned In the choice of Sena-

ments OF two men or OF forty men.
