How true! On the morning nf the
22d Gen. Custer took up the line of
march for the trail of the Indians
reported by Reno on the Rosebud
Gen. Terry, apprehending danger,
urged Custer to take additional men,
but Custer, having full confidence
in his men and in their ability to
cope with the Indians in whatever
force he might meet them. declined
the preferred assistance aud marched
with his regiment alone. He was in
structed to strike the trail of the
Indians, to follow it until he discov-
cred their position, and repor5 by
courier to Gen. Terry, who would
reach the mouth Of the Little Big
Horn by the evening of the 25th,
when he would act in concert with
Custer in the final wiping ont. At
4 O'Clock in the afternoon o. the
Oath, Clusters scouts reported the To-
cation of a village recently deserted,
whereupon Custer went into camp,
marching again at IL p. a., continu-
ing to march until daylight, when he
again went into camp for coffee.
Custer was then fifteen miles from
the village located on the Little Big
Horn, On of the branches of the Big
Horn, twenty miles above its mouth,
which could be seen from the top of
the divide, and after lunch General
Custer pushed ON. The Indians by
this time had discovered his approach
and soon were seen mounting in great
haste, riding here and there, 1t was
presumed in full retreat. This idea
was strengthened by finding a fresh
ly abandoned camp with deserted
tepee, in which one of their dead
had been left, about six miles from
where the battle took place. Custer
with his usual Vigor pushed on, max
ing seventy-eight miles without sleep,
and attacked the village near it's
foot with companies C. E, F, and L
of the Seventh cavalry, Reno having
in the meantime attacked it at it's
head with three companies of cav
airy which being surrounded, after
a desperate hand to hand conflict in
which many were killed and wound
ed, cut their way to a bluff about
three hundred feet high, where they
were reinforced by four companies of
cavalry under Col. Benteen. In gain
ing this position Col Reno had to
recross the Little Big Horn, and at
the ford the hottest tight occurred.
1t was here where Lieutenants Nc

FEARED BANKS; BURIED MONEY
Arkansas Mans Decayed Fortune
Saved for Him by Woman.

A dispatch from Washington,
says of $4,000 in decayed green
backs sent to the treasury depart
ment for redemption by o. D. Earl,
of Morrillon, Ark, all but 25 have
been identified and a check for So
CTS was mailed to Mr.. Early Friday.
Fearing the. banks were unsafe
Mr. Earl buried his savings in an
Did pail in 1904. Recently he dug
up his treasury only to find that the
bills were so decayed that he could
not discern lneir numbers. All
that was left of the roll was a bunch
Of paper resembling package OF
Tried leaves, with here and there the
torn end of note displaying a hg-
ure. Mrs A. E. Brown, the burnt
money expert Of the redemption divi-
sion, was given custody of the un-
recognizable mass when Mr. Earl
forwarded what was left OF his for
tune to the treasury department.
After much tedious work she has
succeeded in identifying most OF the
money.

RESCUE HELPLESS.
Driven Back BY Flames From En-
tombed Miners,

According to dispatch from Lon.
don a message from Wigin says that
after recovering the bodies Of 20
miners, victims Of the terrific ex-
plosion il the Wigin mine Tuesday
night the rescuers were driven back
by flames early Wednesday morning.
All hope of Tescuing any OF the So
men, still remaining alive, has been
abandoned, but the officials OF the
mine are making desperate efforts
to quench the flames.
Seven Of the rescue party were
brought to the surface unconscious.
The scene aroun dthe mouth Of the
pit IS pathetic in the extreme. Half
crazed mothers and wives maintained
all-night vigil, hoping against hope
that their loved ones would come to
the surface alive, but when daylight
came only four of the so men who
went to work Tuesday morning had
been rescued alive and they were all
unconscious, but will recover.
The bodies of the 20 dead are so
horribly burned that they cannot be
identified. It is realized that after
the flames are drowned out it will
oe many hours before party can
be again sent into the mine owing to
the gases. Tie only cause assigned
for the explosion so far, is that
naked lamp came in contact with a
pocket of gas in one Of the workings.

less the negroes quit This the lat

sued between Hugh Brady, white
and some of the whites declared
and Louis Hawkins, colored. The
negro drew knife and stabbed
Brady in the neck and arm. where
upon the fighting became general.
Bricks and clubs we're used freely.
The trouble attracted the attention
of white and negro laborers employed
a short distance away by the Leigh
Valley Transportation Company and
they ran to the scene and took sides.
Two riot calls were sent to the Chi
cago avenue police station and two
patrol wagons filed with policemen
were rushed to the docks.
The policemen charged the rioters
with drawn clubs and succeeded in
arresting Hawkins. A large crowd
had gathered and was melting the
white men. Fearing that an attempt
would be made to take the colored
prisoner from them the policemen
lrew revolvers and shouted warn
ng to shoot the first man who made
IN advance. This had the desired |
effect and further trouble was avert

LIGHTNING GOES DOWN CHIMNEY
House in Chester Struck by an Elec-
trio Bolt Thursday.

A dispatch rom Chester, says
Mr.. T. C. Faley's house on Columbia
street was struck by lightning Thurs
day afternoon while An exciting cleo
trical storm was in progress, and it
is a wonder that very serious dam

on the front a clean aperture that
looked as if it might have been made
by missile about the size Of q base
ball, is to be seen.
A considerable quantity of plast-
ering was torn from the ceiling in
one of the front rooms, and pictures
and ornaments on the mantel were
thrown far and wide, and some of
them broken and otherwise damag-
ed. The bolt seems to have struck

TALKS ON TARIFF
BRYAN SPEAKS TO THE IOWA
FARMERS.
He !arraigns the Republicans For De-
manding Revision When They
Have Had Power to Revise.

w. J. Bryan delivered ar exhaus-
tive speech on the tariff at Des Moin-
es, Iowa, Friday. He showed how
the Republican party has completely
abandoned the earlier arguments
for protective tariff because of I'm
fant industries" and because the
foreigner pays the tax. They
have come to demand tariff revision
Immediately after the election, when
it has been in their power for years
to make revision He discussed at
length the action of the Paper Trust,
made possible because nf the high
tariff on wood pulp ano r artici-
es from which paper - aade. He
sharply criticised the 100 per cent,
protection the Standard Oil is get
ting to keep out its rival in Russia.
In concluding Mr.. Bryan stated
the Democratic position as follows:
"The Democratic party has declar-
ed for an income tax as part Of the
revenue system, and for constltu-
tional amendment as a. means OF Sc
curing this tax. Secretary Taft an
nounces in his notification speech
that he is in favor CT an income tax
whenever the revenues are so low as
TO require it, and expresses his be-
lief that it is possible to secure such
a tax without constitutional amend
lnent. If it is possible to frame
law which will avoid the objections
raised to the income tax law of 1894,
well and good, but that is uncertain
# an income tax is desirable, surely
Secretary Taft cannot consistently
oppose the adoption of a constltu-
.ional amendment. If the principle
S right and. the tax wise. Congress
,ught to have authority to levy and
collect such a tax and no supporter
if Secretary Taft can oppose our
oosition without dissenting from the
candidate.
"The whole aim Of our party is to
secure justice in taxation. We be-
ieye that each individual should con-
,ribute to the support of the govern
nent in proportion to the benefits
which he receives under the protec-
ion Of the government. We believe
hat revenue tariff, approached
gradually, according to the plan laid
lown in our platform, will equaliZe
he burdens OF taxation, and that the
addition of an income tax will make
axation still more equitable. If the
party is to have the sup
,ort of those who find a pecurniary
,rofit in the exercise of the taxing
,owe- as a private asset in their
business, we ought to have the sup
'ort of that large majority of the
'eople who produce the nations
wealth flag in time of war, and ask
or nothing from the government but
ven handed justice.

lantic in Four Days, Fifteen Hours
and twenty-five Minutes.

A dispatch from New York, say
with the best previous record for a
Transatlantic voyage lowered by
more than three hours, the Cunaro
turbine steamship Luisitanla arrived
off Sand Hook light ship at 10 O'Clock
Wednesday night. having made the
run across the Atlantic over the
short course in four days, fifteen
hours and twenty-five minutes. The
Lusitania's former record, which
was also the ocean record, was four
days, and eighteen hours and forty
minutes, the steamer BY her new
performance lowering ner former
mark and the record by three hours
and fifteen minutes.
The Lusftania's previous best per-
formance was made last November,
when the short course was still in
use. AS the season advanced the
big turbiners, with the rest OF the
great liners, began using the south
ern, or long, course, to avoid dang
er from icebergs. Both the Lusitanla
and her sister ship, the Mauretanla,
then began series of record-break-
ing performances over the long route
which continued until recently, when
the vessels again sought the short
course for the fall and winter sea-
son.
Tuned up by her many fast trips
in spring and summer, the Lusitania
began speeding for a record-break-
ing run over sea Immediately on
leaving Queenstown, Sunday morn
ing. She passed Daunt's Rock, from
which her leaving time is taken, at
1885 that forenoon, and up to noon
had travelled at the rate of 22.91 |
miles an hour When fairly out.
however. she struck up still smart
er pace, and in the next twenty-four
hours, up to noon on Monday, the
IL, had logged the record total Of
$50 knots. seven knots more than
he previous best record for a days
'un. made by teI on July s, last. In
Ioing tn: Size lad made an average
speed for he twenty-four hours of
25.66 knots. The run ending at
loon Tuesday was slightly slower,

EARTH IN CALIFORNIA.
Walls Cracked and Crockery Broken
by Two Shocks.

Three sharp earthquake shocks,
which knocked down more than a
hundred chimneys, shattered about
forty plate glass windows in the
business portion Of Eureka, Cal,
broke much crockery' in the houses
and sent many people scurrying from
their beds into the streets, occurred
there early Tuesday. The damage
reported so far is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
The first and sharpest shock came
at 2:58 a. N. It was almost as Sc
we're as the one felt there on April
1S, 1905. At sos another slighter
shock was experienced, followed by
q third at $50 o'clock.
The first shock caused practically
ali the damage. Besides shaking
down many chimneys and breaking
crockery, the trembler caused the

After day Of careful Investigation
the authorities have concluded that
here is small possibility of solving

coroner had found that death was
caused by a bullet wound in the
breast, but careful examination of
The body made by Dr.. W. G. Jones,

was found that no bones were broken
and the man had not been shot, and
apparently he had not been stransled.
The most important thing discovered
