A DOMESTIC INCIDENT. From £l»e Observer, Flushing, Mich. ••Early in November, 18&C* says Frank Long, who live# neat Lennon, Mich., “on starting to get up from the dinner table. 1 *u taken with a pain in my back. Toe pain increased, and I eras obliged to fake to nay bed. The physician who was summoned pronounced my case muscular rheumatism dial and injected morphine into my arm to ease the pain. “My disease gradually became wont until I though* that death would be welcome release from my vutlerings. Besides my regular physician I also consulted another but nc gave me no encouragement.

/ ’ ' II On Getting Up from the Table. “I was final])' induced through reading some accounts in the newspapers regarding the wonderful cures wrought by Dr. W«Kama’ Pink Pills for Pale People, to try them. I took the pQlt according to directions and soon began to notice an improvement in my condition. Before the first box was used I could get about the house, and after using fire boxes, was entirely cured. “Since that time I hare felt no return of the rheumatic pains. I am confident that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills saved my life and I try tqf induce my friends who are sick to try the same remedy. I will gladly answer inquiries concerning my sickness and wonderful cure, prorided stamp is enclosed for teply “FRANK LONG.” Sworn to before me at Venice, Mich., this 15th day of April, 1988. G. B.

WEATHER MEN IN 1747. Haw Fraak.il* and JtCrrtoB tnirtl In Ttkl»g Ob■crvatluui. About 100 year* after the invention of the barometer, vi*., in 1774, Benja« min Franklin, patriot, statesman, diplomat and scientist, divined that certain storms had a rotary mot ion and that they progressed in a northeasterly direction. It was prophetic that these ideas should have come to him long before anyone had ever seen charts showing observations simultaneously taken at many stations. But, although his ideas in this respect were more important than his act of drawing the lightning from the clouds and identifying it with the electricity of the laboratory, yet his contemporaries thought little of his philosophy of stonns; and it was soon forgotten. It will be interesting to learn how he reached his conclusion as to the cyclonic or eddylike structure of storms. Franklin had arranged with a coworker at Boston to take observations of a lunar eclipse at the same time that he himself was taking readings of It at Philadelphia. Early on the evening of the eclipse ap unusually severe northeast wind and rainstorm set in at Philadelphia, and Franklin was un

aoie xo secure any onsennuons. uc reasoned that as the wind blew fiercely from the northeast the storm was of course coming from that direction, and that Boston must have experienced It* ravages beforfc Philadelphia. Reports indicated that the storm was widespread. What was the surprise of Franklin, when, after the slow passage of the mail by coach, he heard from his friend in Boston that the night of the eclipse had been clear and faTorable.for observations, but that a terrific northeast wind and rainstorm began early the following morning. He then sent out inquiries to surrounding stage stations, and found that at ail places southwest of Philadelphia the storm bad begun earlier, and that the greater the distance the earlier the beginning, as compared with its advent in Philadelphia. Northeast of Philadelphia thte time of the beginning of ;tbe storm had been later than at that city, the storm not reaching Boston until If hours after its commencement at Philadelphia. In considering these facts n line of inductive reasoning brought Franklin to the conclusion that the wind always blows toward the center of the storm; that the northeast hurricane which Boston and Philadelphia had experienced'was caused by the suction exercised by the advancing storm eddy from the southwest, which drew the air rapidly from Boston toward Philadelphia. while the source of the attraction—the center of the storm eddy —was yet a thousand miles to the southwest of the latter place; that the velocity of the northeast wind Increased as the center of the storm eddy advanced nearer and nearer from the southwest, until the wind reached t^ conditions of a hurricane; that the wind betw een Boston and Philadelphia shifted and came from the southwest after the center of the storm eddy had passed over this region, and that the force of the wind gradually decreased as the center of attraction passed farther and farther away to the northeast. Another man whofe name is dear to the heart of every patriotic American conducted, in conjunction with his friend. James Madison (afterward bishop), a series of weather observations, which were begun in IT71 and continued during the stirring times of the revolution. This was the sage of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson. Madison was near the sea, at the colonial capital, Williamsburg. Ya.; Jefferson was at Monticello^ 120 miles west. They took simultaneous observations for several years, until the British ran- . sacked Madison's house and carried off his barometer. £ Had the telegraph been In existence Jefferson and Madison would doubtless ha/e conceived the idea of a national weather service.—Forum.

mon m. Later Accotmts of the Battle Be* tween Gen. Bacon and Hit Men and the Pillagers. AS WITNESSED BY NEWSPAPER MEN.

Gallant Conduct of O(Beers anti Mea Bf |S(«d—Foug at to the Oeath and tiled like Mea—Narrow Kecape ot the Correepoodeate—Tra«lo Death ot Col. Sheehaa. Walker, Minn., Oct, 8.—K. C. Beaton, one of the three newspaper men marooned with Gen. Bacon’s troops on Sugar Point wires the Minneapolis Tribune a long account of the battle. After describing the landing, he says: As there was no indication of trouble, Brill, Knappen and myself made op our minds to go back to Walker on the boat to be sent by Gen. Bacon for the tents and rations for another day. We Were down at the landing waiting for the rowboats to take us to the steamer, when ft shot was heard. Immediately we ran back to the rest on the hill, when a volley came from the woods to the front of ns. Wh at a Loh to Cadenuid the Sl*aMtcaapa of th« jrtriaf ~ The soldiers were just about to be dismissed, and for a moment I was at a loss to understand the significance of the firing. A second later another volley came and the bullets whistled past my head. “Run to cover” some one cried, and as the soldiers grabbed their guns and sYan to the left, I hurried down to the beach, where I was soon safely housed behind big bowlders and brush. As I ran down, however, more bullets chased me, and it was a wronder that myself and those with me were not killed. Ora. ll»ron’» Voice. “Steady men; steady,” was the first sound of a voice we heard, and as 1 raised my head I could see Gen. Bacon running about with his troops. “Get up in the firing line,” was the next order given, and the men of the fighting Third were seen to run through the grass and woods in the direction from which the shots had been fired. Another peep above the stone behind which I lay—and a peep at a great chance of death—and I saw Maj. Wilkinson and Lieut. Ross calling to their men to advance. All the time the shots were fast and furious, and bullets flew a few inches above our heads as we lay on the beach.

Cblqultou* Ofllrrr*. The men continued to advance. The three officers were evef^-where, Maj. Wilkinson in charge of the left flank, Gen. Bacon In charge of the center, and Lieut. Ross in charge of the right flank. The soldiers were running along, it seemed to me, on their hands and knees, dropping every moment to fire a volley into the ranks of the enemy. The officers, however, stood in the open. They were brave almost to recklessness, and seemed only to consider the safety of their men, for they advised them what to do in tones that could be heard all over the point. There Wu » I'mimImi Hoar. For 30 minutes there was a ceaseless roar, and every little while we could hear the cries of the men who had been shot. 1 looked up once and saw that Maj. Wilkinson had been injured, but where I did not know. 1 heard him cry: “Ross, I’ve been wounded; but won’t give up, for it’s not bad.” The next moment, as he stood right back of his firing line calling at the men: “Give it to them, boys. I’ve got them going; give it to them, they are cowards and they’re going to run.” He seemed to be staggering, and Surgeon Ross ran toward him. r«U Into the Arm* of the Doctor. “Give them hell, general, give them hell,” he called at the top of his voice over towards the central flunk, where Gen. Bacon was taking aim at a ml man. Then he fell into the arms of the doctor, who carried him into the log cabin at the crest oi the hill, where he died one hour and 30 minutes later. There were two wounds in his stomach and an artery had been cut and he bled to death, despite the efforts of the surgeon to sf ve him. His was the death of a soldier, and such a death as he expressed to me a few minutes before he "desired to experience, for the major and myself had walked back, from the scouting tour together. Aa Aar fat Mght. It was an awful sight, but strange as it seems, we reporters down upon the bank talked back and forth of what a good story it would be, and did not seem to realize our position until the battle was over and the shots were fewer, and we had nothing to think about except the fact that we might follow in the footsteps of the major. Mnu Pawatt Was Saaa U> Drop. About the same time the major fell, I Private Powell, who was running from one cover to another, was seen to drop, sod in the evening, after darkness had come, he was carried to the little cabin, the victim of another bullet from the Indiana* Winchesters. A Sara Baal Hit. “The stripes on the sleeve of another dead man, whom I saw throw up his hands and drop his gun, told me that a sergeant had been hit. As he feU be clapped one of his hands to his head, and afterward I learned that he was Sergeant Butler, and that he had been killed instantly by a shot through Ms head. As he fell, Lieut. Boss, who Iiad charge of the two flanks after the in* ■

jury sustained by Maj. Wilkinson, was seen to drop upon bis knees and fire in tbe direction in which the shot that had killed Butler had come. They told me afterward that Boss got his man and had folly avenged the death of the gallant sergeant. After that the men were oot of sight op In the woods and behind the cabin, and we could only lay on the beach and wonder when oar end would come, for we did not know but that the soldiers had been annihilated. There was no let up in the firing.

I*d u Advance by m Portion of the Bight Flank. “Suddenly, to our right, -we heard the voice of Col. Sheehan, of St. Paul, deputy United States marshal. We glanced up and could see the Teteran Indian fighter leading an advance by a portion of the right flank. “You’ve got them whipped, boys; you’ve got them whipped. Give it to them, give it to them,” the colonel was yelling at the top of hia voice. Every time his voice was heard a volley rang out, and every time it was further away from us. Owed Our Uvea to the Colon*}. Afterwards we learned that we had the colonel to thank for our lives. Some Indians had attempted to turn our right flank and attack the civilians on the beach. The colonel saw us and realized our danger, and his gallant attack had undoubtedly saved our lives. As it was, bullets flew about our heads, and the stumps, weeds and stones about us were peppered for several yards. When we realized the position which the colonel was in, we called to hi ti to get under cover, but he paid *o at- j tention to us. Be stayed wiw* the men until he had accomplished hia purpose, and when we had about made up ouf minds that, he was dead, we were startled by a move- in the weeds above us. “I’te Been Wc anded, Boy*.** ,“l^ve been wounded, boys; I’ve been wounded,” was the remark we heard j as the weeds parted and the gallent colonel fell to the ground before us. We did not know how badly he was hurt, but saw two holes were in his coat sleeve. “That’s not it,” le said, as we turned back his sleeve. “It’s my stomach; look at that.” And we did so. We tore open Ids clothes and j found only a small wound, but the j blood was trickling down. The old man was not frightened by any means. “If you ever get out of here alive, boys, you will be in luck,” he remarked a few moments afterwards, as he lay on the beach. A CONFERENCE IS PROGRESS. ^ Serious Trouble Feared Within the Next Few Moure—Troops Ordered to Welker. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 8.—A Journal’s Walker special says: A conference between Indian Agent Sutherland and the Chippewa chiefs now at the agency is going on, and the matters are again assuming a threatening aspect.

Mrs. Colby, who is employed at the agency school as an instructor, was this morning ordered to leave the agency by Indians, and has just arrived here. She feai^serious trouble within the next few hours, and says that the pretext for the bucks, who are constantly arriving at the agency from all directions, that they have come to sign rolls, is manufactured for the occasion. Indian Agent Sutherland, before starting, gave it as his opinion that the conference would not amount to anything, but felt it his duty to go, inasmuch as the bucks had requested it. A rumor is current here that the two troops of cavalry from Fort Yates and Fort Keogh, which passed through Minneapolis Tuesday night on the way to Huntsville, Ala., have been ordered to come to Walker as fast as they can be got here. None of the inhabitants here, with the exceptions noted, has any hope that the end is near. It is generally held that the beginning has not yet . been made. Sick and wounded men were taken to St. Paul in a special cor attached to the regular train yesterday morning. Completely Ubtppril Indian*. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 8.—A Walker special to the Dispatch says: lien. Bacon thinks one of the Indians killed by a sharpshooter was Chief Bu-Go-Nay-Ka-Shig. He says they are completely whipped Indians. The name of this Indian is apparently intended for Bug-Ah-Mah-Ge-Shig, who was the cause of the whole trouble, other Indians having taken him by force from the deputy marshals, who were faking him to Du*luth as a witness in an illegal liquor selling ease. / SPANISH REINFORCEMENTS. A Direct and Important Question Raised by Spain-TUe Subject Considered by tbe Cabinet. Washington, Oct. 8.—Admiral Dewey has cabled the nary department that he has been advised that a number of Spanish troops have arrived at Singapore, bound for the Philippines, to reinforce the Spanish garrison at lioilo, on the island of Pansy. At this place is concentrated about all that remains of the few troops on the Island of Luzon. - In dispatching the troops prom Spain to the islands, the Spanish government has raised the direct question as to the right to reinforce troops now engaged in active hostilities with the insurgent forces. The weight of opinion here is that this action is permissi- I ble and does not constitute a breach of the terms of the protocol suspending hostilities. A good deal, however, may depend on whether the Spaniards confine themselves to the defensive. The cabinet yesterday gave some consideration to this subject, which in the end is likely to be left to the die

THE RATIONS. In Spain many traces of Bo man war songs are to be found. Spanish and Portuguese war songs were called romam ceros. The Turks have no war songs except those they hare tr anslated from other tongues. The Cid, written in the twelfth century, has alwaye *een the martial inspiration of the Spaniards. Julius Caesar had his men singsongs of triumph after a victory and some of •the verses are in existence to-day. Edw ard I. had ilite Welsh bards put to death because Ike thought they incited the soldiers to battle. What the Cid is to Spain the Boland is to Prance. The ‘"’(Chanson de Boland’* has been sung sine»the eleventh century and has 1,500 erses. Bussian battle sings are written in minor keys and instead of being brilliantly martial are sad, telling of the soldier’s fate*. Germany has mu ch military music and that those in pewer appreciate the influence music has on soldiers is shown by the fact; that the German army contains 10.QC ) musicians.
