THE BANNOCK INDIANS

CHARACTER OF A FIERCE TRIBE OF RED MEN. Naaterona, but Cruel Fighter*— Expert Horsemen Are Given to Rambling—Wyoming's Game Laws Conflict with United States Treaty. Bad Young Bucks. The Indian disturbances now taking *tace in the West were stirred up by tke Bannocks, a tribe living with the

bamhock brave, manual labor of any kind. They look upon it as disgraceful, and carry their antipathy to toll further than the warriors of any other tribe except the Standing Rock

Sioux. Schools and civilized pursuits are alike scorned by them. Then consider themselves superior in ‘■■•ety way to all other tribes and to whue men. In warfare they are keen. Heartlessness and cruelty are their prime characteristics. To kill all aged persons who have become burdensome is a custom with these Indians. As hunters of big game the fame of the Bannocks is great; but even in their hunting the innate cruelty of the braves is shown. Instead of shooting their prey through the heart—taking the risk of missing their aim—the Bannock sends his bullet into the entrails of his quarry, and then lies In wait for another ■victim. The first is easily tracked by the trail it leaves, as staggering and suffering from its wound the animal blindly tries to escape. The Bannocks are expert horsemen. They are allied by numerous intermarriages with the Shoshone Indians, and the braves are generally distinguished in this way: If the Indian is gaudily flressed, a hater of work and ready for trouble or to make trouble at any time, then he is a Bannock. If he is quiet, takes kindly to labor, and tries to dress ‘and live like the whites, then he is a Shoshone. There Is not much love lost between the two tribes. The Bannocks are ruled to a great extent by their “medicine men,” whose words are law.

▲bout two years ago the government gave the Bannocks and Shoshones 200 cattle. | The Bannocks promptly killed ■nd ate their share in the first winter. *Bw Shoshones kept tlie greater part W their gift and they now have some too head. The young Bannock “bloods” are Jrtrn gamblers and thieves. They are •ver ready to kill iny white man who them in their predatory habits, and when intoxicated, which is often, make great threats, of going on the warpath. In short, it can be said that the Bannorks are bad Indiana and even their physical bravery cannot redeem their finite. They are loose in morals and unscrupulous. Efforts have been made to get them to attend the schools at the different stations, and while they did, an that they learned was soon forgotten, and the Bannocks, braves and ■quaws, soon relapsed into their born state of savagery, with thoughts of nothing but the gratification -of their appetites. There appear to have been originalta two geographically distinct bandt or divisions of the Bannocks, and t> this fact, which has not been understood generally, is due much of the confusion that has existed regarding them. The main home of the Bannocks appears to have been in Southeastern Maha, whence they ranged into Westsen Wyoming. The country actually stained by the chief of the Southern

Shoshones on the Fort Hall reservation. There are about 500 of them and the tribe is decreasing every year. The Bannocks are finer people, physically, than the Shoshones. They are bigger, more lusty, and in their veins runs the blood of the hunter and the warrior. The Bannocks are wiry and muscular, tall and straight, warlike and untamed. The braves disdain

perished or become incorporated with the remnant of the first tribe. The recent trouble, concerning which highly sensational and positively untrue reports were sent broadcast throughout the country, was because of the recently enacted game laws of Wyoming. In 1868 the United States entered into a treaty with the Bannock Indians, according the latter the privilege of hunting anywhere on unsettled landa Recently, however, Wy-

oming enacted restrictive game laws that conflicted with the Bannock treaty, and the reds considered their rights usurped. They declared that the treaty with the United States was superior to the laws of the State of Wyoming, and they kept on hunting and slaughtering game as had been the custom from time ImmemorUl. The authorities of Wyoming caused the arrest of a number of the redskins, but these escaped. More arrests followed, and when these prisoners attempted to escape, they were shot This incensed the Bannocks, and the imaginative correspondents had it that thqy arose in open rebellion, which culminated in their taking to the mountains where they could better defend themselves against the attacks of the whites. Conservative men declare that the Bannocks have just cause for provocation because of the enforcement of the Wyoming law that takes from them the rights granted by the treaty of 1868.

Terrapin Farming.

A deed of Cornfield Harbor, one of the best known estates of Southern Maryland, owned by Col. 8. I. Walles, from Mra M. E. Davison to N. 8. Ackerly, of Long Island, has been filed for record in the office of the Clerk of Land Records of St Mary’s County. This property of about acres

of upland and seven acres of oyster creeks. The property is situated about a mile and a half from Point Lookout, and has a frontage of about three and a half miles on the Potomac River. In one of the creeks, especially, known as Potter’s creek, it is said, as fine oysters as any in the world can be grown. Mr. Ackerly has taken a great interest in the artificial cultivation of oysters. He has been quietly experimenting with a view to determining the value of these oyster lands, if properly cultivated. On the property is a large fresh-water pond, which has been connected with the creek by aj canal,' so tllat tbe pond may be made the, cultivation of diamond-back terrtipin, *which, when complete, good jtidges, think will be about the best and Iflffgest of its kind in the country,—‘Baltimore American.

Big Fruit Farm in Georgia.

On the Rumph . orchards, between Marshallville and Fort Valley are 1,000,000 peach trees and 20,000 pear trees. These orchards, during the good fruit seasons, have been marvelodSiy ! profitable. One peach cfop sold for 1 $52,000 and another for $64,000. Mr. Rumph has also .the largest plum orchard in the world. There are 15,000 Japanese plum trees on the place, and in the nursery near by 200,000 seedlings, worth $15,000. There' are also 30,000 raspberry bushes in cultivation.

OUR CATTLE THE BEST

MARKET FOR UNJTe£ SPATES PRODUCTS IN ENGLAND. Reviewed in Detail in Recent Report* —lmports of Apples from Europe Regulated by the Size of the Crop in This Country. American Consular Reports. The markets for United States products in Great Britain are reviewed in detail in recent consular reports. Cattle from this country are reported from Liverpool as superior to the native cattle, the latter including many immature and young animals slaughtered for food and also a greater proportion of old animals. Consul Neal at Liverpool reports, however, that sheep from the United States and other countries do not compare favorably with the British, lacking taste and tenderness, and it is suggested by experienced men that this might be greatly improved by shipping the sheep younger, say one to two years old. It is suggested by the trade in the Liverpool district that American tobacco be packed thoroughly dry when intended for consumption there and altogether free from either heated or bulk-heated leaves. Large quantities of apples are received from various countries on the continent of Europe, but the importations appear to be regulated by the size of the apple crop in the United States. American apples command the highest prices. Fortyfive per cent, of the wheat and IX) per cent, of the flour in the Liverpool consular district come from the United States. American glucose and starch are not as valuable in the Liverpool district as the product from Germany and Holland, though in good demand through low prices, and in some portions of the district the glucose importation is exclusively from the United States. Consumers depend to a large extent on the importations of bacons and hams principally from the United States and Canada. The strongest objection made by the Liverpool trade to hog meats packed in the United States is that of insufficient curing. The Provision Trade Association suggests absolute prohibition of export of filled cheese from the United States and greater care in the manufacture of the best, so as to equal the Canadian product. The consumption of American canned meats is falling off and that of Australia increasing, due largely to relatively high prices of American goods. Consul Neal recommends that the United States make more of the finest grades for export to compete with other supply sources. In the Hull district the American cigarettes are regarded as the best in the market.

America furnishes the entire foreign cattle supply for the Glasgow district, and the condition in which the animals land is regarded as highly satisfactory, the only complaint being that they are “unduly fat,” necessitating waste in the shops. American horses are accused of being more liable to catch fatal colds soon after landing, on account of the damp climate, and with being unable to stand the wear and tear sustained by Welsh or Irish horses. Consul Morse at Glasgow reports that over 83 per cent, of the whole wheat supply there is imported from this country. The United States also leads in the importation of Indian corn, flour, starch and hams. Glasgow tobacco dealers charge deterioration of the American product on account of the producers aiming more at quantity than quality, and not giving as careful attention as formerly to picking and assorting. The demand for American corn is very light at Belfast, the Black Sea product being preferred. In canned meats for that consular district the United States has no competitor. The charge is mgde that American ham is too heavy and the meat too rich. The reputation of American lard is also at a discount, it being asserted that it is tampered with on both sides of the Atlantic. Merchants at Belfast bitterly complain of the alleged deception of American shippers of apples, and the Canadian apples are accordingly growing in popularity.

LABOR’S BIG JUBILEE.

Great Demonstrations in Varions Cities of the United States. Organized labor throughout the United States observed its holiday with usual festivous demonstration. In Chicago the toilers took a day off and had a good time. Although there was a split in the ranks of organized labor and two rival parades were formed, there was no hint of trouble and everybody was good-natured. Each body turned out about 15,000 men, the marchers were splendidly arrayed, and both parades were memorable sights. When the parade passed the reviewing stand they were much as they have always been. The same horseshoers made the same horseshoes, the painters with the white caps and the bakers with the tools of their trade. They marched as well and as steadily as ever and exchanged greetings with friends on the curbstones as they always do. The rival parades were of about equal length and much similar in appearance. Congressman McGann, Mayor Pingree of Detroit, and others were at Ogden's Grove to address the Building Trades’ Council, and they remained in the grove until long after the electric lights were turned on. The Labor Congress did not have a picnic, but instead a grand demonstration was given at the Auditorium in the evening. Kelt Hardie and John Swinton were the speakers of the occasion, and an immense crowd was in the big theater to hear the famous socialist and author. There was no general parade in New York City. The fact is considered significant of the general condition this year of New York working people; with but a few exceptions there are no questions to be agitated and no victories to be celebrated. The various labor organizations decided some time ago that a parade was not necessary and that the various unions should spend the day as the individual members saw fit. As a result there was a sudden exodus from the city in every direction. Picnic parties great and small took advantage of the various pleasure grounds and parks about the city. An unusual number of ball games, races, tournaments, and other forms of sports were arranged for the day. The holiday was generally observed throughout the city. Labor day was celebrated at Terre Haute with a parade in the morning and exercises and amusements at the fair ground in the afternoon. There were 10,000 at the grounds, many of whom listened to the speeches of Senator Voorhees and Colonel McLean, ex-deputy commissioner of pensions. Senator Voorhees said: “I consulted with Debs’ counsel when the case was before the Supreme Court and I know that Debs is suffering a penalty that the Constitution does pot warrant. A lawful conviction must be preceded by an indictment and trial by a jury. A ranker, grosser and bitterer piece of injustice never blotted the page ■of our Federal judiciary.” The Senator advised his hearers that they must not violate the laws, but should elect men to make laws that would be acceptable to them. Beautiful weather contributed to the success of the Labor day celebration in St Louis. All the banks, exchanges, courts, and city offices were-closed and many retail stores gave their clerks a

holiday.! Thp labor organization* united in a parn€e‘of the principal streets at noon and afterward assembled at Concordia Park, where the remainder of the day was spent in amusements of various descriptions. Cleveland, Ohio, saw the biggest Labor day demonstration that the city has ever known. Business houses were generally closed and the city was in holiday dress. A parade in which every labor union in the city took part marched through the principal streets. In Buffalo, N. Y., Labor day was celebrated by a parade of the trades unions, followed by a picnic at Germania Park. Two thousand union men paraded in Indianapolis and in the afternoon several thousand people gathered at the State fair grounds and were addressed by President John Mcßride of the American Federation of Labor.

HELPS THE SEABOARD.

Decision by the Supreme Court of Georgia Favors This Famous Line. In the suit of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad against the Western and Atlantic and the Nashviße, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads, a decision was handed down in the Supreme Court of Georgia at Atlanta which is decidedly in favor of the Seaboard Air Line, and gives this noted litigation a new turn. This litigation was caused by the boycott which the Southern Railway and Steamship Association declared against the Seaboard Air Line, causing all the associated roads to refuse to allow the Seaboard prorating privileges on through shipments. There had been a contract made between the Seaboard and the Western and Atlantic and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads which guaranteed the Seaboard as advantageous rates as they should give to other connecting lines. The Seaboard therefore brought suit rgainst those roads to enjoin them from entering the boycott ordered by the Southern Railway and Steamship Association. The injunction was temporalily granted, but subsequently Judge Lumpkin ruled that the Western and Atlantic and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis had a perfect right to enter the boycott in so far as through business was concerned, but on local business originating on the Western and Atlantic or destined to points on the road the defendants could not refuse to grant all concessions to the Seaboard allowed the other connecting lines. The case was appealed by the Seaboard Air Line to the Supreme Court, and the latter filed its opinion last Saturday. The decision in brief is as follows: “Where, upon a valuable consideration, a railway company contracted with a railroad company to ‘interchange business, both through and local,’ with the latter and its connecting lines for a specified term of years ‘upon terms as favorable and advantageous to said road and its connecting lines as those given to any other rai-road entering’ a designated city, the railway company was bound by the terms of this contract, not only as to freight shipped from or to points upon its own line, but also as to freights destined to or coming from points beyond the same; and, therefore, could not, so long as it pursued a different and more favorable course as to other railroads entering the city in question, lawfully do anything to deprive the railroad company with which it had contracted, and its connections, of the benefits of ‘through rates and through proportions of rates and bills of lading founded thereupon’ as to freights of the latter class. “Under this contract, therefore, it was not, in view of the facts as found by the trial judge, lawful for the railway company, during the period therein stipulated, to voluntarily enter into contracts or maintain business relations with transportation companies beyond its oyta line, with the intention or purpose of depriving the other party to the contract (the railroad company) of the benefits above indicated; nor, with such intention or purpose, to refuse to receive from such transportation companies shipments of freight routed over the railroad company’s line upon bills of lading giving to it the benefit of ‘through rates and through proportion of rates’ upon such shipments.”

MANY INJURED IN A WRECK.

Engine Dashes Into a Crowded Train on the Seabeach Road. An appaljing railroad accident occurred near Woodlawn station, New York, on the Seabeach Railroad, in which fifty people were injured. While train No. 3, drawing seventeen curs, which were crowded almost to suffocation with excursionists, was standing at the Woodlawn station a wildcat engine came thundering along the tracks, telescoping it. The car was full of passengers, most of whom came from New York. Many people saw the engine tearing along and jumped from the train and thus saved their lives. Most of the injured were taken to the hospitals and several will die. A colored porter yelled to the passengers to jump. The runaway engine dashed into the rear car, smashing it into kindling wood and burying men, women and children beneath it. There was a mad rush of humanity from the train. Scarcely half a dozen people kept their heads or were able to render assistance to the injured. Patrolman Kelly, who was on duty at the station, turned in several ambulance calls and five ambulances from the surrounding hospitals promptly responded. In the meantime the woodwork of the wrecked carriage caught fire and was soon in a blaze. Four cars were destroyed before the train hands were able to uncouple them and four cars were telescoped by the collision. The police, who have Engineer Frank Jason and Fireman Arthur Ross of the runaway engine under arrest, say that engine No. 6, the wildcat, while shunting on the track, was in danger, while going backwards, of colliding with another engine. The engineer, thinking it impossible to- avoid this collision, reversed the lever and jumped from the engine, followed by his fireman. The engine, however, jumped forward almost immediately and started down the tracks at a terrific rate of speed, resulting in the disaster.

AN INTERESTING TOY.

The Artificial Spectrum Top Perplexes Scientists. Scientists of England have been giving a great deal of serious consideration lately to the study of a mere toy \vjiich they are still unable to explain satisfactorily. It is a top called the “artificial spectrum top,” in which mere tracings of black and white are made to assume colors when in motion. The top as now constructed consists

of a revolving disc, half black and half white. On the white half are short, concentric arcs of black. When the top reVolves close tinder a bright lamp these arcs appear, not as gray lines, as might be expected, but as lines of color. To most eyes the effect is as follows: (1) When the revolution is such that the black line is preceded by the black half of the disc and followed by the remainder of the white, it appears red; (2) when the direction of rotation is reversed it appears blue; (3) when the lines are on the central portion of the white (so as to have equal white immediately on each side) the color is green; (4) intermediate positions give approximately the intermediate colors of the spectrum. A few people see the colors differently, and one or two people, by no means color blind, can see no color at all. Curiously enough, a few people who are somewhat color blind can see the colors on the top very well.

Injuries to the Head.

Injuries to the head may be divided into three classes: those which affect the scalp alone, those by which the skull is fractured, and those by which the brain itself is damaged to a greater or less degree. Inasmuch as the records of the civil war, in which are accounts of thousands of cases, are in favor of stitching all scalp wounds, they should receive a doctor’s care as soon as possible. As a rule, injuries to the scalp, if .carefully looked after, will repair at once, but if neglected they are exceedingly difficult of management. If the Injury is extensive, the hair should be removed for a short distance around, and a clean cloth soaked in ice water should be placed over the part while waiting for the physician. Since shock may accompany the slightest Injury to any part of the body, It is difficult to say at once whether a patient, in a condition of collapse from a head wound, is suffering from a fracture of the skull, with pressure of the

fragments upon the brain, or has sustained simply a concussion. As a rule, however, cases of extensive fracture are attended by a more profound degree of collapse than those of simple concussion. The patient is totally insensible to everything, even to the utmost efforts made to arouse him. Fractures of the base of the skull, which are almost invariably fatal, may be attended with bleeding from the ears and nose or mouth. In all injuries to the head, the patient should be kept in a state of complete quiet. Iced water should be kept constantly about the head, and ths room should be somewhat darkened. The diet should be low in proportion to the severity of the case, but always nourishing. The head should be elevated, placed upon the rather firm pillows instead of soft ones. The dressing about the head should be just enough to support and protect the wound from draughts of cold, without being heating. No injury to the head, however slight, should be regarded as unimportant, since almost any such injury is liable to be complicated with mischief to the brain. For this reason every wound of the head should receive careful attention at the hands of a competent physician.—Youth’s Companion.

Some Say He Was Ruled Off the Turl for Pullins Them. Habitues of all Western tracks from St Paul to New Orleans are familiar with the “gag” that Captain Rice, the Arkansas horseman, has been ruled off the turf “for pulling his whiskers." Few sportsmen are better known than Captain E. R. Rice, one of whose most

valued possessions is his tremendous crop of whiskers. They reach below his knees and their extremities not infrequently are seen waving through between his legs when the captain stands facing a smart breeze. Captain Rice, besides his string of race horses, owns an immense cotton plantation near Little Rock, and is one of the most popular men in his vast circle of acquaintances.
