EXPECT MORE INDICTMENTS One Official Threaten, to Disclose Name of a Former Western Con gressman, and Says He Will Name Others Who Are Guilty. Watihtngton, Sept. 21. Tba stoni center of the great post office depart mem scandal has shifted politically tc the San Francisco poatofflce. One of the Indicted former official of the poKtofflce department made thf statement that at his trial, which will come up shortly, he would name a former congressman "who should have been indicted, together with others who have been Indicted." The former official who made this statement had the most Intimate rela tlons for years with this "adminis tration" member of congress. He pro poses to make his dramatic announce ment to prove his belief that, as he says, "the administration is Indicting some people, but is taking care of it friends." T,here is no question that the former congressman referred to has been a constant friend of the ad ministration for many years, and some people here have been wondering why the Inspectors have not been able to get sufficient evidence against him. 1'be course of the administration in the post office at San Francisco, it Is stated. Is the one which Is being most closely watched by those who assert they are sacrifices to save others. It Is Inconceivable here that there will be only one Indictment on the postal device and Improvement scandal ot Ban Francisco. There Is, however, the best of reasons to believe that the Indicted official here who Is ex asperated by the trend of events in that case will name a western con gressman and that the explosion, as It were, will be heard from one end of the country to the other. The arrest of State Senator Green of New York on the serious charge l bribery and conspiracy with George W. Beavers has brought up agair prominently the qqueution, "Did Rea vera and Marhen act autocratically ii the matter of making big contracts or did they consult with the hfghe officials?" The four-year contract with the Bttndy Time Lock company was made when .1. W. Johnson o New Jersey was first assistant post master general, and It is now htnte that the matter was first hroachoo when Perry. Icatli held the same of flee lu 1897. Beavers and Muchcr were, or ought to have been, con trolled by the first assistant postmas ter general. EIGHT SQUARE MILES . AT PORTAGE UNDER WATER. Milwaukee. Sept. 21. At Portage.

TWO MORE MEMBERS OF BRITISH CABINET RESIGN London, Sept. 21. Lord Balfour ol Burleigh, secretary of Scotland, anc Artli,r Ralph Douglass Elliot, ft nan clal secretary to the treasury, hav resigned and their resignations hav bee naccepted by the king. Mr. EI llott was not In the cabinet. These two resignations make a total of font vacant cabinet posts aud one secre taryship at Mr. Balfour's-disposal. With the resignation of Lord Bal four aud Financial Secretary Elliot both strong tree traders, it is under stood that the ministerial resigna tions are completed and apparently the Duke of Devonshire has decided to remain in the cabinet. It is practi cally certain that Austen Chamber lain. Lord Alilner and Mr. Broderlcb wil take the exchequer, colonies and India portfolios respectively, and the only surprise in the new appointments is likely to be tho nomination of a strong man to the war office to deter mine how far the recommendations ol the South African war commisssion can be carried out. Home Secretary Akera-Douglas started for Balmoral Sunday night and he will probably be involved ir. the reconstruction changes. CANAOtAN GOVERNMENT CONCEDES AWARD TO AMERICA Ottawa. Canada, Sept. 21.

MeCIut 4 Half way between the Crescent ranch nd the school house lay the western border of the Black Hawk range. If Don Kaston happened to ride to the ridge of low, ragged bnttes above the little valley trail be could catch a glimpse of the new schoolteacher's hat -with the violets on It when little Bammle Trent to sit her to and fro In the buckboard from the ranch to the school. One day Sammie rode out on the rnnge on his own pinto. Buckeye, and told Don the uews. "We've got the new teacher at our place, Don. She's a Jim Dandy too. Pop let me go to school with the rest of the kids just because she said I was wasting my talent hoeing round. She ain't a real teacher either. She's study ing us folks, .lumping Moses. Don, yott ought to hear her talk. Aud she's going to study you pretty soon. You're chap ter 5 on herders." "Is she homely, Sammie?" Don asked gently. Sammie Bhut one eye and clucked his tongue hungrily. 4 "U tin me two crackers uud a dried herring and I'll tell," he said. Don bargained and handed over two crackers with the herring laid be tween. Sammie munched contentedly. It was n long way from the ranch. "Her hair's kind of pretty. It don't curl up exactly, but ft kinks a little when the wind blows. And It's brown, kind of. And she smiles sweet ns any thing, and her eyes are blue, kind of. and she's awful gritty. She's learning to ride, aud she fell off once aud never yowled a bit." A week after this the buckboard was discarded, nnd Joa saw Sniuuiie rid by on the pinto, while the scliooltPiicb er wan on a small lightweight black and white pony. Sometimes she weal by alone, as the days passed and her confidence grew. Don would leave the sheep with the dogs and watcb for her at sunset, lying face downward lu the soft, thick grass on the edge of the buttes. He could see her from the time she passed the cot ton woods that fringed the divide until she turned the corner of Big Butte far down the val ley, and beyond the way was clear to the muck. There was a secret satisfaction to him lu this self Imposed sentinel duty over her lonely ride. It was a welcome break In Ihe monotony of his life, and he dreaded the time when the grass and water would give out and be would have to move farther on to new rangs. When the spring days came and the wild flowers lay like a royal carpet for tba feet of the black and white pony th schoolteacher would dismount and gather them on her way through the valley. Then came a day when the entlu! saw from his post that she was in trouble. Th black and white potty had wsndercd ahead nf her. crop ping the grass and new ciover, when suddenly he pitched forward, one fort' leg sinking deeply iufo a beaver hole. Wilit his heart n flume, Don had gone to the rescue and pulled the pony oul The mik le was sprained, and she limp ed badly. HiiHliIng heneulh his tan. he had loltl tin' schoolteacher who hi whs. Just one of the Crescent herder und had offered her his horse to ridt hoiw on. Site bad accepted thankfully, aud Sammie was sent after the tnnif pony tho uext day. "Ain't she thoroughbred, though?" he asked, chewing on a hit of flag roof he had found down- uear the creek. ''Her name's Marjorle Allan." "When Is she coming to study chap ter asked Don carelessly. "Utiess she hasn't got that far yet," returned Sammie seriously. "She's studying Bowers and bees and birds and things now." "Stuumte" the herder's votce was gentle and persuasive "don't you want a Job hording sheep aloug about sun set ?" "What you got that's bettor than her rings V" nuked Smuniie In mild interest. "A whole nickel r day." "I'll come tomorrow," snld Sammie. The now uminv'ouiont tasted n month. Kvory afternoon at sunset Sam ml herded faithfully, while Don nnd the ch(Httcat hr rodo low!y from the cottomvoods to Kit: Hutle. Tli-m cao sate ana reuaDie in amormsoi Kiieuraaiisiu. iwuaitca the old acid blood rich, and the pain-tortured mus cles and joints are relieved, the shattered nerves are made strong, and the entire system is invigorated and fnnti un hv th usp of this creat vegetable remedv. day Doh fold him he need not come any more, aud his face was grim and hope less. Sammie looked at him shrewdly while be cracked a switch at a few mosquitoes that were feasting on tba plnto's mottled hide. "She's just a girl, even If she did come from Kansas City and write books and things," he said pleasantly. 'Did she throw you down, Don?" The herder was silent. " 'Cause you're Just a herder?" "Go home," said the other gently without looking at him, but Sammie saw the clinched hands and be rode away whistling. Three weeks later there came news to the ranch. The herder on the Black Hawk had moved his sheep eight miles northward toward the Big Horn country, and there were growling among the cattlemen up there over hla ncroachlng ou their territory. "But isn't the range free?" asked the schoolteacher when Sammie explained matters to her. "You dassent any so nowadays less 'a you've got a gun to back it up," said Sammie. "Pop thinks Don will get all the trouble he's looking for." Miss Allan looked at him, her blue eyes grave and anxious. "What wll! they do to blra?" "Chase him off and scatter tha sheet) Maybe let a little daylight Into him it he stops to argue." "Are we far from him?" "He's about four or Ave miles north east 1 guess. We could see the emoki If they fired the grass or his wagon," he added encouragingly. Miss Allan was sileut, and Sammie smiled at the plnto's ears. She was getting to chapter 5. he decided, on herders. And he saw, too, that she rode out of her way every day to get a view of the range. And every nlgh( at the ranch she naked if news had mine from the cattlemen. But all was quiet until one day the schoolteacher had remained later than usual. Sammie did not question when she turned nway from the home path and rode up the hill until they t cached a spot where the range lay before them. Far to the northeast a faint line nf smoke trailed hizily up to the clouds, and she held her breath as she watched it. "Sammie," she cried, her hands grip ping the pony' bridle tightly, her face paling. "Sannnie, what is Ii?" "Just smoke," said Sammie shortly, knowing what lay behind the appeal. "I guess we can make It lu nn hour. Less 'n they've flxed him already." But she rode on beside him fearless ly until they had passed scattered,' frightened groups of what sheep were left, and halted beside the smoking ruins of the herder's wagon. It was she who found him first, lying uncon scious a dozen yards from the wagon. There was a wound tn his forehead. While Sammie stood with wide, scared eyes, she told him to run to the creek and briug water, then to ride on to the ranch for help. With the water Sammie had brought her she bathed the wound and kept his parched Hps moist, and the black and white pony moved up and down like a restless shadow between her and the charred wagon.
