Election Returns Malrn lu Toxn
Galveston. Feb. 13. A special
fioni Marshal says that the coun
ty clerk's office was entered hist
night and the votes, of nineteen of
twenty-three precincts stolen. It
is presumed to be the work of
oue one connected with tlu feder
al court before which a Urge
number of citizens were to be tried
this week on a charge of violation
ot the election laws.
I.i s of Louisiana KIrr Crop.
Nkw Vokk, Feb 12. lirail
stroet's says: Tin probable total
rice eiop of Louisiana will not ex
ceed two hundred barrel4-. The
Iites cannot 1h lr.ss than $300,000.
It is piobablc. that, owing to the
disappointment, of two seasons in
.succession, the acreage ilevoted to
rice will be this year considerably
diminished, though thete is un
doubtedly a steadily increasing
consumptive demand for all do
mestic rice.

Thursday morning at Canada De
los Alamosa, thirteen miles from
here, Julian Vigil, a Me.ican,
killed his wife ami young daughter,
chopping them to pieces with an
axe, and severely wounded his son,
leaving him for dead. The man
then hung himself to a rafter in
the same room. Cause, insanity
produced by liquor.
FLOOD AT WASHINGTON.
X Gorge in Ihc roloaiar Barks up Uir
Water le an Lnprrrrdrnlrd HrJgSl.
Washixuton, Feb. 12. The
riTcr broke up this morning and
the water rapidly rose, flooding the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad
depot and the lower portion of the
hotels on Pennsylvania avenue be
tween Third and Seventh streets.
There is about three feet of water
oyer the ground floor of Washing
ton market and Ford's opera
house. The Virginia side of Long
bridge, it is icported. has given
away; but it i- inaccessible .owing
to the great depth of water.
Pennsylvania avenue from First to
Seventh and from ISijrhth to Tenth
street is a sheet of water. All the
cellar and many first floors are sub
merged and the census office docu
imnt were basely saved. (Ireat
damage is repm'ted at UKrgiumvii
wharves. Near Sixth ami 1J street,
in the eirhloihHd of the Polo
mac depit, five Ninth-street cars
were abandoned, the drivers taking
the moy bos under their arms
and riding oil" on their horse.
The Seventh street cars continued
to run thiough the flood during
the day, passengers adopting a
kneeling posture on tle seats.
The same was the case with the
Bdl line. Great difficulty was ex
perienced in crossing from the city
to South Washington, water being
) some cases live feet deep.
It is proposed to amend the Cali
fornia constitution thus: "Each
stockholder of a corporation or
joint stock association shall be in
dividually or personally liable, for
such proportion of all its debts and
liabilities contracted or incurred
during the time he was a stock
holder as the amount uf stock or
shares owned by him bears to the
subscription capital stock or shares
of the corporation or association.""
This will relieve directors from
being responsible for tiie embezzle
ment of funds by employes.
l-jSTIjere is not ikhv any better news
paper, nor one'muie consistently k
v led to the luiildiii" up of the coimtn
than Til K Asioihan. At the price of
l wo uoii.trs ht yeat :t s the cmMesi,
as well as the k'L Willi mir aid and
encouragement we shall be able to make
further improvements to enhance its
field of usefulness.

ANOTHER CHAPTER.
TUr Itrpnrl of" Ihc llf Commission Con-
rinded and Miluitlllril lo the
Inirrior Wrparltnrnl
MKACHKM STILL WORKIXG THE
SYMPATHY DODGK IX IIKHALF
OF THE IXniAXS.
Dchwt UepuMieMM. KeJrrj Mil.
Thjs Hon. Otto Clears, of Sh
gHuche, who is a member of the
fTte comuiisiou, arrived in the city
last evening from Washington.)
where he lw.s been engMgod for the
few weeks past, with the other
members of the comi mission, in
pnsjKiriug the report of tlie negoti
ations ami treaty with the Utes.
This labor is concluded, and the
lejMtrt has been duly submitted to
the interior department. It em
bodies nothing of consequence that
the people of the state are not
thoroughly conversant with. The
fact that the treaty was amicably
signed and the money lor the first
year was distributed among the
Indians, are the principal items of
the report. The suggestion is
made therein that provisions be
made without delay for the trans
fer of the I'tes to their new home.
Mr. Mcars says that the feeling
in Washington has been worked
into a morbid sympathy for the
Indians by the misrepresentations
and cant of Meachcm. who still
upholds that they are a much
abused people.
While the negotiations were
pending between the commission
and the Indians, a short time pre
vious to the settlement, Mr. Mears,
who was disgusted with the actions
of some of the members, used the
expression to Moachem that "the
Ties were deserving of a good
thrashing.' Tnis to be sure was
a very commonplace remark in
the state and one that would
scarcely fail to provoke a hearty
assent from all who were acquaint
ed with the continued troubles at
the time it was made. But Mea
chatu, with his insane ciithusiams
for the Ute welfare, saw a demon
of destruction in those words and
cherished them up against the
speaker. Arrived at Washington,
he liberally advertised Mr. Mcars
as their inhuman author, and when
that gentlem.iiv arrived at the Capi
tol le received a cool reception
from the Indian woishipcrs and ad
vtCMte,s tlre. They condemned
hint fd his unchristian words in
measured terms, and fr a- few
days made matter us unpU-asaut
1 for him as w jmssibic. Mea chain
is tiieless in his pleadings for the
Indians, and in their behalf never
tuiSflCs an opportunity to make a
misstatement when a supposed
benefit is to be obtainod thereby.

Boomerang Hill on the Climate.
Agriculture. Woman Siifler-

KdtWH-tal CorTeHdenee
Omaha, Feb. 5. Bill Nye, the
Wyoming humorist, editor of the
contemplated Laramie Daily Boom
erang, and author of "The Meek
Eyed Mule and other Literary
Gems," is spending a day or two
in Omaha, and was subjected to an
interview last evening at the hands
of a Republican reporter, whose
first question, after the usual pre
liminaries, was:
"How's the climate out where
you live, Bill?
"Well, the climate of Wyoming
is as a rule most too bracing.
Still it's healthy. Agriculture
don't seem to advance the way it
ought to. Wintor lingers tew long
in the lap of spring, as it were.
.Just as we settle down to straw
berries and ice cream, here comes
Thank-giving and Christmas. Two
years ago 1 read the Declaration
of Independence with a buffalo
overcoat on."
"Did you ever try agriculture
on your wn hook?"
"Yes some. 1 tried to raise vulcan
ized summer squashes and spruce
gum, but just as the vines got long
enough to pole, they froze up on
me, and my hydraulic ram got
into the garden the same season
and ate my custard pie plants."
"Did you ever get any seeds
from Mr. Le Due?'
"Yes; he sent me a few seeds
of the crosseyed Lima bean and
bulos ot the scotchniimi sauer
kraut plant, but they ail died."
"What is the result of woman
suffrage in Wyoming."
"Well, it's very gratifying.
None but the best men are elected
to office there. Pre been elected
three times to the position of
justice of the peao:. I did not
seek the office. The office sought
me. The suffragist of Wyoming
arose as one man or one woman
or both, and said, we must have
a great man for justice of the
peace, ami 1 said, A11 right, if
that's the case 1 will consent to
have my name used.' I've been
dealing out substantial justice ever
since at so much per dejd."
"Does the better class of ladies
vote in Wyoming?"
"Yes, certainly. Thev do tlieir
house-wot k in the forenoon and
then in the afternoon i1kv jab
their tickets in their glove and ride
to the polls in a batouche and save
the country."
"Who furnishes the carriages?'
"The party with the most ko
pecks. My advice to the republi
can parly has always been to get
the best principles and the boss
rigs if possible, but to get the fly
rigs anyhow. Thus we have con
quered. When I went to Wyom
ing she was a democratic territory,
but now, with the aid of woman's
suffrage and by putting good men
at the head of the ticket for jus
tice of the peace and by securing
good rigs Wyoming is a republi
can territory. There are people
who hoot at the idea of Woman's
suffrage, but thev are away off.
They are erroneous. They are in
the fog. Woman's suffrage saved
me. When I went to Wyoming
I couldn't speak a loud word, but
before Pd been there three weeks
I sat "ip in bed ami ate thn'e-
qnarters of a mince pic.'

Death From a Spider.
A late St. Louis dispatch relates !
tl MloE mib JL.se we:
Archibald Gibson, second lieuten
ant of the 17th United states
cavalry, and son of a prominent
lawyer, died here to-day of iufi.im
ation of the bruin, caused by a
singular event occurring while he
was a West Point student. One
day while on parade a spider got
in his ear. The rules prohibited
his removing it, and he stood in
the ranks while the creature worked
its way into his car. and when he
was dismissed his ear was full of
blood. This caused corrosion of
the bone next to tin bruin, and he
has never been completely well
since, although having done hard
service in Dakota.

In something written ue have an
indistinct recollection of having made
reference to a eueral disposition
anion", boys m tneir teens, s well as
boys of maturer yeai, to enliyiiton
and bless the trld with their" pro
found knowledge of the horse and his
history. Our books and new'spaiiers
are full of this kind of litorature, and
it varies in style from the production
of the child at school, commencing
witn: ine norse nas tour Ies and a
tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the
scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That
his neck is clothed with thunder and
the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
He smelleth the battle afar olf, the.
thunder of the captains and the
shouting. Between these two ex
tremes of the child at his first school
comHsition, and the professional
literature, we have every grade of pre
tention, and each professing to have
mastered the whole subject. As we
approach the chae of this nineteenth
century, we begin to look for some
thing better in this department of
knowledge from those who assume to
instruct ' And it is to be found in
