slowly toward the boundary they could Bend their runuers out to warn nil tho.-e who hail not yet come in, and they would try to overtake tie at Bhii Bernardino, or, If not successful in that, would move aloug the mountains until they reached San Carlos. I assented to their sending after the remainder of their people Htil] liming in the mountains, but refused to give then. any written passes, telling them that if they could not catch up with tue troons they must take their chances of being killed by an}' Mexicans or American** they might encounter.

Vengeance is just as much to he deprecated as a silly sentiiueutalism. To attempt to punish one or a dozen of the tribe for deeds of which all were equally guilty, would be a cross act of tyranny, while to attempt to punish all, after they had surrendered in good faith, would not oob' be perfidious, but would involve us in a war with a email but desperate handful of men, who would then fight with the recklessness of buccaneers under the black fl ip. The chief is no more guilty than every member of his band, since he has ofteu Jess influence than individual members, being merely their mouthpiece or spokesman. To punts li individuals guilty of particular crimes onuld be done, were it possible to get evidence; but from the nature of tilings this is impossible. The < 'Ulrica huas will present no difficulty whatever iu the work of subjecting them to peaceful restraint and good discipline. They were not deprived of their arms for the best of reasons. It is not advisable to let an ludiau think you are afraid of him, even when fully armed. Show him that at his best he is powerless in your hands, and he will become your best friend, and cheerfully obey all lie may be instructed to do. It is unfair, too, to deprive bun of the means of protecting his home and property against w'hito scoundrels, who, armed to the teeth, infest the border, and would consider nothing so worthy their prowess as to plunder ponies or other property from unarmed Indians. 80 long as white horse and cattle thieves roam the country, so long should the Indians at San Carlos b allowed to carry arms for their own protection. Further, it is not practical lo disarm Indians. Their arms cau never be taken from them unless tliev are taken prisoners with their arms in tboir bauds while engaged in fighting, by sudden surprises or disabling wounds. Wheu Indians first eurretider or come upon the reservation they nmicipnte being disarmed and make their arrangements in advance, concealing most of their best weapons and delivering up only the surplus aud unserviceable. The disarming of Indians has, in almost every instance on record, beeu a farcical failure. I may odd that the fact that the Indians left behind have not come in is a matter of no siguifloance. Indians have no idea of the value of iiuie.

Washington, Aug. 4—The State Department is iu receipt of an important letter from Dr. Fries*, physician to the Emperor of Brazil, iu which he gives the results of a series of microscopic examinations of the blood of victims of the yellow fever. The doctor’s experiments, extending over a timnper of years and embracing actual tests made upon more than 1,000 patients, tend to establish the germ theory of the disease. The letter is quite lengthy, and is accompanied by illustrations showing the form and character of the parasite, and giving his own theory as to the manner in which it is introduced into the system. From one who has carefully read his paper, it is learned that he does not believe yellow fever can be transmitted by a patient except in one of four ways, viz.; by inhaling the breath of the patient, by contact with the person of a patient during the period of perspiration, by contact with the clothes worn by the patient in any of the stages of the disease, from its incipiency to dissolution, or by freqenting cemeteries wherein the remains of persons that have died of the disease are deposited. The doctor does not believe that the germ is atmospheric in its habitat, but parisitical, by which it may be understood that it does not float about in the air that we breathe, but i9 a creature of the earth, earthy. His conclusions* therefore, are that cleanliness and the most thorough system of deodorization are the surest safeguards against the plague, and that, with such a system, re-en-forced by strict quarantine regulations, the disease ought to be kept entirely within the control of medical science. GENERAL NEWS. Leave of Absence of Government J-'iupl ye Limited to Thirty Days Each Year. Washington, Aug. 4.—Under a construction of tlie law made sometime ago by Secretary Folger, leave of absence to employes of the Treasury Department is limited to thirty days in each calendar year, with no pay. except in case of sickness. It had heretofore been the custom to allow the employes ten or fifteen additional days’ leave that they might go home to vote. Now absence from duty on tiiat account will be deducted from the thirty (lays’ leave allowed by the law. In case an employe ha3 taken his full leave before the time of voting has arrived. he can only go home to vote by losing ids pay for the time he may be absent. No action iius been taken in the matter by the heads of other departments, but it is thought ihi-y will concur in the construction made by Secretary Folger. Note* null Pernon all tie*. Washington, Aug. 4.—The government wills?ve about $150,000 per annum by the consolidation of internal rovenne districts. The amount of tobacco rebate claims received in Washington is $3,000,000, and there are several districts yet to hear from. The total receipts of customs for July last, were $20,909,290, against $19,950,637 for the same month last year. This shows an increase of $958,653 the first month of the new tariff law.

A Half-Dozen Murders Caused by Two Rotties of Stolen Whisky. Victoria, B. C., Aug. s.— The steamer Eureka arrived this morning from the north, and brings news of a horrible tragedy at the Dakan mine, near Harrisburg, Alaska, Two whisky sellers, Rennie and Martin, got drunk and unconsciously exchanged cabins. During the night Indians broke into Martin's cabin where Rennie was sleeping, and stole . bottle of whisky. The theft was discovered ;nd both of the men started after the Indians. Iu a fight with them, Rennie was killed. The citizens in force arrested three Indians, confining them in the guard-house. During the temporary absence of the guard trie Indians procured pistols, shooting tiie guard on his return. They then fled. The firing awoke Major Givens, formerly of the United States army, lie rushed to the rescue and was shot down. The wounded Indians took an ax and hacked his head to pieces. The three Indians then attempted to escape, but a number of miners who reached the scene shot one of them down, and arrested a second. The third cs--aped. The infuriated citizens conit (it tiled themselves u jury and hung the captured Indian on the spot. Next day, Colonel Barry ordered the chiefs to produce the third one, who had escaped. He was quickly delivered up, and (promptly hanged. Mm. JOSP.ru M. Faukkv, Logansport. was fine! of neuralgia of tho bioiuuch by Brown's Uou Bitters,

STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP, i i Preparations at Rockville for the Execution of Buck Stout. A Petition Akliie Commutation of the Sentence—A Fort Wayne Roush Killed by an Officer—Notes aud Gleanings. INDIANA, A Petition for the Commutation of Stout’s Sentence—Preparations for the Execution. Rockville Letter in Terre Haute Express. John Courtney, Stout’s attorney, was hero yesterday. He has made a masterly effort for his client, and now resorts to the last j chance. Petitions are being circulated for j signers that will be presented to the Gov- j ernor on Monday, praying his Excellency to , commute the death penalty to imprisonment j for life. Following is the petition: Petition to Albert G. Porter, Governor of Indiana, for the commutation of Joseph W. Stout: The undersigned, petitioners would represent j aud show your Excellency that upon the 24th j day of November, 1882, one Joseph W. Stour ! killed one Taylor Dunbar, near the town or j Darlington, lu Montgomery county, Indiana. The prosecution for Raid offense was taken, by change of venue, from eaid county to Parke county, and upon the 23d day of April, l*y a I judgment of the Parke Circuit Court, said Stout was sentenced to l>e executed upon the Bth day j of August, 1893. The evidence in the case and j the facts herein recited appear In ’he record of j the en.-s of state of Indiana vs. Joseph W. Stout, now in the hands of the Reporter of the Supreme Court. “We would show that tins is the first felony with which said Stout has ever been charged; that be la a young man, having arrived at his twenty-second year on the 17th of December, 1882; that from bis infancy he has been afflicted with the disease of epilepsy, and Ims had fits; that ilia father and mother, who now reside In said town of Darlington, are Ignorant and poor people: that he lias four sisters and one brother, all of whom, as well as their father, John Stout, have beeu more or less subject to epileptic tits all their lives; that from his infauoy said Joseph W. Stout has grown like a weed, and never had proper parental and rfibinestia discipline, and moral or intellectual training he lihs never had or known. Aud being satisfied that said Stout does not. even now, realize tue enormity of the crime of which he has beeu convicted, we, your petitioners, on account of these facts, and others which we might recite, as citizens of the Stale of Indiana, pray our Governor to commute the death penalty of Joseph W. Stout to Imprisonment in the State prison during lift, ami thus we will ever pray.” It will be observed that the plea of epilepsy, and hence insanity, is set forth very forcibly. It is too late for that. It used to be that attorneys could prove insanity without filing a written plea, Before Stout’s trial the Legislature passed a law requiring the defense of insanity or unsonld mind to be filed by way of written plea. In this case the defense had a lot of witnesses to prove insanity on the part of Stout. Failing to file this plea the court ruled out all evidence of this nature. The' result might have been different had this not iiappened, and Stout might have beeu sent to the State prison for life. It is not expected the Governor will interfere on behalf of Stout, and he will'expiate the murder of Taylor Dunbar on Wednesday, August 8. The inclosure where the banging takes place will be built on Monday. It is thirty by forty feet. It will be east of the enginehouse in the jail lot, and twenty-five feet high. The scaffold is already completed, and it takes but a short time to put it in place. It is strongly built, and the drop is six and a half feet. The trap door works with a lever and is perfect. The sheriff has received about 100 letters this w’eek. Tiiey are principally from doctors, newspaper and business men, and all desire a ticket. The letters are filed away in the sheriff’s office, and in future years they will be quite a curiosity. The rope for the hanging was purchased from John Monies & Sons, of Cincinnati. It is made of pure Italian hemp, closely plaited and seven-eighths of an inch thick. It has two nooses, one at each end, so if one breaks there will be a reserve noose. The rope has been rubbed with tallow to make it slip easily. Tlie guard duty will be performed by the McKeen Cadets. Stout has had Rev. W. P. Cummings talk with and advise him. The minister found him sincere and frank, and deeply concerned about his spiritual welfare. The Scriptures were read and the way of salvation pointed out He was talked to as a dying man and seems to be humble and penitent, open to conviction and instruction. Has no skepticism about him, and is willing to believe the doctrines taught by the Bible. It was a very satisfactory interview and really more than anticipated, as the minister expected to find the prisoner full of prejudice and unbelieving. Such was not the caf*c. He treated Rev. Mr. Cummings as a gentleman and* heard everything said with the greatest of reverence and attention. A Rough Killed by a Deputy Sheriff. Fort Wayne, Aug. 4.—Emanuel Whan, alias Fox, a notorious rough of this city, was shot and instantly killed, to-uay, by Mannix, deputy sheriff of this county. Whan was serving out a sentence of sixty days in jail for beating his father and mother while lying in bed sick. He escaped at noon to-day. Mannix was in pursuit, nearly overtaking him. lie called upon him to stop. Not doing so, Mannix drew his pistol to frighten him. Being a self-cocking pistol, it discharged before he knew it. The ball took effect in the small of the back and he died almost instantly. The coroner rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death by reason of the accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of Deputy Sheriff’Mannix. He was twenty-seven years Qf age.

Hosrner and Teeraer Win the Boat Races at Lake Minnetonka. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 4.—The first rowing race on Lake Minnentonka, to-day, for a purse of (500, divided, was the most interesting event of the season. Before the ! race Gandaur was the favorite. The men drew positions in the following order, Hanlan barred: Riley, Hosrner, Gandaur, Teenier, Lee, Plaisted and Parker. The course was one-and-a-quarter mile, straight away and return. The race between Hosrner and Teenier to the two-mile flag was close, Jlie former slowly drawing to the front and crossing the line in 16:38. Teenier two lengths behind, and Lee a good, close third, followed by Gandaur, Parker, Riley and Plaisted in the order named. Teeuter made the turn in 8:10. A second race was rowed in Crystal bay, near the Hotel Lafayette, for another purse of SSOO, divided, the entries being the same as in the first race. Hosrner was the favorite at SIOO to S2O, with few takers. At tlie turn Gandaur. Hosrner and Teenier turned their respective buoys, on even terms in 10:30, followed by Lee, Riley, Parker and Plaisted. For a dozen lengths no one had a perceptible | advantage, but Teenier, who was pulling in fine form, soon drew ahead two lengths and crossed the line ten lengths ahead of Gandaur; Lee third, Hosnier fourth, Riley fifth, Parker sixth, Plaisted last.

While the writer of this paragraph accepts in part the coat that he prepares for others, it is no use to deny that the scarcity of labor results more from the practice of not hiring permanent farm help than from any other, or several other causes. The farmer, as a rule, does not employ Help enough, nor does he, from this very reason, work his farm to its even average capacity. The young man seeks labor upon a farm, and is informed that his labor is only wanted “until after haying,” when the young man is left “high and dry” unless he can find chance employment for a month or two at greatly reduced wages, and at the beginning of winter he finds himself with chopping wood as about his only prospective means of getting through the winter. This young man looks about, finds that the men who seek other employments, as a rule, get continuous work, and with no particular fluctuations in the price of labor. True, the employers of such labor occasionally “shutdown,” but. in the main, infrequently, and then scarcely longer than the time he is not wanted by the farmer, and so the drift is toward employment in manufacturing establishments and those occupations that give steady aud continuous labor and wages. To get a hired man for six months', the farmer offers from $l2O to even $l5O, a sum nearly equal to tiiat paid for a year’s man, the real difference being the board, and this, in reality, is not high wages for winter work. This has had the effect of driving married men to seek otiier employment than that offered by the farm, and leaves single men to be possibly obtained, aud so large a proportion are actually “floaters,” who can only be depended upon when they choose, not the will of the employer. It may be urged, and with a good showing, that upon the smaller farms winter labor, now that rails are no longer split, logs drawn for lumber and cord-wood sold in the village, is not profitable, but changed times offer new avenues for the performance of labor, and winter-dairying has become very profitable, and dues not make up the sum total of the possibilities of winter farming. The rush of our foreign citizens, “assisted” and by their own assistance, to the far West, d<*e® not afford the farmer a chance to obtain cheap help, and, together with the high price of the labor remaining, is not favorable to a great increase in the amount of the productions of Ohio. The effects of this lack of help are visible on every hand,in overworked farmers, crops neglected to a certain extent, and “many things left for to-morrow that should have been done this afternoon." Permanent labor with continuous wages is the partial solution of the farm labor question. _ Destroying Weeds. Chicago Times. This is an excellent season for weeds, if for no other kind of vegetation. Many persons are troubled with very large weeds—such as burdocks and mulleins. They cannot be eradicated by any ordinary treatment. If simply cutoff with a hoe they will spring up again and make a large growth in a few weeks. The best instrument to employ in destroying them is a sharp spade. It should be thrust into the ground so that it will cut off the stalk some inches below the crown. It is well to throw a smalt handfull of salt in the space that occupied by the stalk. The stalks should be removed to some convenient piece of ground where they can be dried and then burned. If allowed to remain where they grew the seed will drop out and in time germinate. The seeds of largo weeds possess great vitality and will ordinarily remain in tho soil all winter without injury. The seeds of many kinds of weeds are sufficiently mature to germinate wheu the plants on which thev grow present none of the appearance of ripeness. On this account farmers and gardeners are often deceived in the appearance of weeds, and do not resort to the proper means to destroy them. If they are allowed to get possession of land they should be cut before blossoms appear, so as to prevent their propagation by means of Heeds, They should be ruked or thrown into piles while they are green, and when they become dry they should be burned. Unless considerable care is exercised weeds are likely to spring np and attain a large size in the vicinity of the farm buildings, and if they are not destroyed in time their seeds w ill find their way to every part of the farm or garden. Do Potatoes Bport? American Agriculturist. We have u letter from a correspondent in Wisconsin, concerning anew potato. He had been cultivating a blue variety, and on digging the crop, found in one hill a single l>otaLo that was entirely white; this was attached to the same stem (or “root," us he calls it) with one of the usual blue color. Tiiis is a case of what is called “bud-varia-tion," of which there are many well-known instances. A particular bud upon a tree or plant, without any assignable cause. will produce either leaves, flowers, or fruit, different from those borne by the rest of the plant. The bearing of nectarines by u peach tree, the production of a red rose upon a bush of yellow variety, •ire among well-known examples of this kind of variation. The potato, though we call it a tuber, is really u stem or branch, much modified, it is true, but it follows the law of steip growtli, and even “sports" as stems occasionally do. Numerous cases are recorded in England of the production of new varieties of potatoes in this manner. Several are known to have taken in this country, notably the “Late Rose,” which is a “sport” from the “Early Rose," and differing from it in foliage, and in a marked manner in the time of ripening. To the occurrence of such bud variations is dun the common belief that potatoes will “mix in the Whenever such ‘“sport" occurs, it should be kept and planted, as it may prove valuable.
