Every Man, Woman ami Child In Jackson’s Hole Butchered. INDIANS ON THE WARPATH. , —,| IC.portß From Diflerrnt Souruen Agree That llm White* H»fo Been ManKnored. Large Bodie* of iQiliann Hove Bren Gathering For Rome l>ay»—The Suldier* May Arrive Too Late. Market Lake, Ida., July 27.—M. J. dray, L. M. Tart aud Senator Hainer of Illinois and T. R. Hainer of St. Anthony all left St. Anthony Wednesday morning on a fishing trip to Jackaon’a Hole, taking no Rtock in the Indian , war. Yesterday they come back and ■ reported every man, woman and child I in Jackson's Hole murdered. A courier has returned here, having got far into Teter basin, which is the present point in danger of massacre now that Jackson’s Hole citizens are all butchered. He reports that the smoke of a large fire was seen several miles south from Grand Teton in the direction of Jackson’s Hole. There is no doubt that the redskins have fired every , home and cabin, and by morning they , will be repeating their work on this side : of the Teton basin, aud jierhnps all the way down the river valley into Idaho. ; Two hundred Utas are said to have . gone north to join the Indians in Ho- i back basin early this week. Small j parties of Leiuhjs have been slipping in ; daily across the Conant trail, something . they have not ventured to do since the Yellowstone National park was enlarged , in 1891. People in St. Anthony, Roxburg and I other towns located in Idaho between the railroad and Jackson’s Hole have been all along placing no confidence in the Indian scare, as they called it. Troop* »t Pocatello. Pocatello, Ida., July 27.—William Ross, of the firm of Ross, Grey & Wyatt, has arrived at Market Lake from St. Anthony and reports everybody at Jacksou’s Hole killed. It is considered authentic news and the excitement is intense. United States troops from Cheyenne arrived here this morning aud left immediately for Market Lake, and thence by wagon-road” for Fall river country. Courier Sargent arrived in Market Lake yesterday morning from the vioinity of Jackson's Hole. He left a companion in the country who intended to get into the hole if possible and return with all the news. Sargeant reports all the passes guarded and is afraid his companion will -not be able to obtain entrance. >• Fifteen Indians and 1,500 saddlehorses passed through Beaver canyon from the Lemhis agency, going in the-direction of the National park, supposedly to join the Bannocks in their massacre of settlers. Excitement in Pocatello is growing hourly. The citizens are agitating the question of uriping themselves and leaving to rescue the people of Jackson’s Hole. Confirmed at Oinihiu Omaha, July 27. —Union Pacific headquarters were notified last night by the company’s superintendent at Pocatello, Ida., of the receipt of a telegram from the Union Pacific agent at Market Lake to the effect that aft the Jacksou’s Hole settlers had been murdered by the Indians, their stock killed aud their homes burned. The agent declares that the information is perfectly reliable. GIVING BLOODHOUNDS A TRIAL. Narrow Escape of a Boy Who Experimented With Them. Georgetown, Ky., July 27.—Pres Thompson, the 12-year-old son of Robert Thompson, had a thrilling experience with one of Mr. E. B. Sinclair’s bloodhounds. To give the dogs a trialthe lioy went out of town and climbed a tree. The dogs trailed hi th to the tree. Mr. Sinclair, who was following the hounds, came up and secured them, thinking h&had both chained. The boy egmie down from the tree, but one of the dogs was not securely fastened, and attacked him. His clothes were nearly torn from his body and he was bitten several times on the breast ryjri side befprethe dog could be secured. He was badly frightened, but his injuries were only slight. the Arkansas River. Wichita, Kan.. July 27.—The greatest body of witter iu the history of tho Arkansas river is rushing down the river. Iron bridges built at a. cost of nearly $3,000,000 span the river at this point and the city is taking every precaution to keep them from being swept away. There is a’panic among the people living on the river and many of them are moving out. The railroads are strengthening their bridges in anticipation of ftie’trouble. Horae* Die From Meningitis. Danville, Ills., July 27.—Farmers in the neighborhood of Georgetown are much excited over a new and strange disease that has attacked some horses there. The horses’ legs gave Way and they were unable to stand, two dying within a few hours. State Veterinary Surgeon Trumblower ordered the other two horses shot and the barn burned. He pronounced the disease to be similar to spinal*meningitis and contagious. Miss Anthony Not Paralysed. Lakeside:, 0., July 27.—The story sent out that Miss Susan B. Anthonywas stricken with paralysis here yesterday is wholly false. The fact is that after her address she was overcome with heat and had a short fainting spell. Last night, she was able to be about and todav left on a train for the e.ast.

Every young man must either go up stream or drift down. The fact that there are drunkards Is proof that moderate drinking is not safe. No matter how bright the pleasures of sin may be, they are only pleasures for a season. It costs the young man a pearl of great price for his first drink. Whoever goes wrong himself leads an army astray. When the prodigal started hack to his father's house he didn't have to go all the way alone. God's help is all the weakest man needs, and what the worst may have if he will repent.

NEWS OF THE CAPITAL? — ■ [ I Matters of Import Telograpliod From the Nation's llea(|<|niu’lers. FRANCE REFUSES TO ANSWER Kccoril Ih the Waller Court Mnrtlnl Not Yet Fortiieouilog .May Send a Peremptory Demand—Captain Hec.k'a Course Approved --General SchoO'-id** Tour of Inopeetlon About the Sugar Bounty. | Washington, July 27. —The officials , of the state department are anxiously awaiting information from Ambassador ( Eustis as to the manner in which the ! second demand for the record of the Waller court martial has been received in France. It is now learned definitely ! that the French government refused to furnish the record upon the first presentation of the request aud this refusal . was met on the part of the state depart- i merit by a more positive and pressing demand for all the papers. The depart- | ment is informed by Mr. Eustis that this demand has been presented to the French authorities. There has been quite sufficient time for a reply, but I none has been received, :.nd the French I authorities probably appreciate the situ- | atioD to air extent a' least, and while : apparently not prepared to change front | without consideration, are yet disposed to delay another refusal as long as it : can be done under diplomatic usage. Considered Molt Vnusuak . The course of the French in thei'b.re- ' fusal to supply the record is considered ' most unusual and as no explanation of ; the decision was vouchsafed, the department is at a loss to know upon what grounds it was based, it is customary when a government asks for evidence upon which one of its citizens has been convicted and sentenced to furnish a copy of the record, especially when the trial has been by a military court and I in a court and in a country foreign to the two governments. There is no other means by which the government of the accused may determine whether justice lias been done or denied its citizen. The supposition is gaining ground that France’s refusal to furni h the record is due to a desire not to give publicity to revelations made in the letters from Waller, which were intercepted by the Frencl authorities, concerning the misconduct of some of the French soldiers in Madagascar. There is good reason for believing that in. case of a second refusal by France to supply the record, a third de- . maud will be made which will be peremptory. It is not believed, however, that this step would be taken in the absence of Secretary Olney. VV-ell Pleased With the Army. Washington. July27.—General Schofield returned to Washington last night from his tour of inspection of army posts in the west and northwest and his trip to Alaska The general was absent from the capital over two mouths, and during that time inspected between 25 ami 30 army posts. very much gratified at what he saw, ami has nothing but words of commendation aud praise for the army. The troops, he sai< 1, are in excellent shape, good discipline prevails and they are v<wy efficient. very thoroughly equipped and are ready for service at a moment’s notice. The army is higher in tone, and it is composed of better material than ever before. The army posts where the men are stationed are generally in excellent shape. : Captain Beck’s Conran Approved. Washington, July 27.—The acting secretary of the interior says, in answer to the protest of the Nebraska delegation on the subject of leasing thd Winnebago lands, that the proceedings of Captain Beck under the decision of the United States court at St. Louis have I bgen formally approved, and that the I settlers eau easily-protect themselves by ! taking-out leases through Captain Beck. Holding Up Sugar Bounty. W ashington, July 27. —Senators Caffery and Blanchard and Representative Meyer of Louisiana had another confereiice yesterday, with Secretary Carlisle iifis a ffd to tlie action of Controller Bowler in holding up claims for sugar bounty. The conference was-secret.

Oil Dropped 15 Cents; Pittsbvrg, July 27.—0il has taken ' aiiotlv r slumu and has dropped 15 cents I a barrel in the last two days. As a re- ; suit of the drop ;i‘ll wildcatting has j stopped and the oil boom is coiisidered | to be over. There is no known reason ■ foKtlie drop except that the Standard ; has decided to lower the urice. What ; is considered the strange teauire is that : the price of relined oil remains the same. 1 Took Carbolic Aciti. Canton, 0., July 27.—Charles Rick- i seeker suicided with curbolfe acid last night in a grove at tlie outskirts-of the | city.
