Railway traffic associations are
now bureaus, devoted to uniformity

standardizing OF tariffs and division

by the question OF a shrinkage In
freight tonnage or In passenger

chief executive has already tested the
pulse of business conditions and can
interpret the correct causes therefor
in advance.

We wish you could have been with US

the other half OF the house which We
occupy. II is built on the boundary
line and the south fat was the head
quarters OF Gen. Gringerino, the fed
eral commander. Daisy was In the
kitchen frying potatoes when the
rebels rushed the headquarters and
the volley that came through the wall
destroyed a perfectly good skillet, all
but the handle. Pretty soon Gen.
Gringerino himself came through the
wall and throwing down his sword
surrendered TO Uncle Sam. The rebels
were finally driven out Of the Mexican
side OF our house by blowing up the
ammunition, killing four OF our
boarders and mussing up the beds.
Otherwise the city is very quiet. Lit
tie Willie had a narrow escape on
Fourth-st. He was playing with a
wooden gun and a paper helmet and
was fired on both sides with deliber-
ate aim. This is all that saved him.

TROUBLE-MAKING INDIAN
Buck Trying to Ineite People OF HIS
Tribe into an Uprising Against
the Whites.

CHICO, Cal. May 3.-Coincident
with the recent discovery by a uni
yersity professor OF tribe OF wild
Indians in the Deer Creek canyon, a
few miles north of Chico, comes the
report of how r. ]. West, a middle
aged rancher, the other day put the
"ouietus" single-handed, to an uprts-
ing among these same red men. Fight
ing Skunk, the agitator, had been
uarading about in his war paint day
and night, heavily armed. trying by
oratory to arouse his fellows to his
own state Of excitement Meeting with
little support, he engaged in noisy
war dances all by himself, declaring
that he would clean out the white in
yaders unaided.
West sneaked up on the savage,
felled him with blow on the Jaw and,
after helping himself to the Indians
weapons administered a series OF
swift kicks the last one or which
lifted the bowling warrior over a high
bank into deep pool of water.
Then West went home, taking the
reds fighting apparatus with him.
Now the Indians have dropped the
first part OF Fighting Skunk's name
in addressing him and no further war
talk is heard from him.

From the Louisville Courter-Journal.
The double shock at San Francisco July
makes pertinent the question. What
ought she to do about 1t? Though all

many o. the modern talk about the dread
phenomenon. 1t may be said that mortal
man knows nothing about an earthquake
except its terrible manifestations At Lis

was 1.00o feet per second. while in 1851
the rate was three times as great. At
Toxic in 1881 the speed was estimated at
times as 1900 feet per second But the
cause and conditions of such convulsions
in the earth are as inexplicable to US as
they were to the ancients. What, then,
is San Francisco to do about it? She Is
to expect other shocks, and build her
houses with reference to such expccta-
tons. Fortunately the reinforced con-
