* VALLEY RECORD.) The People’s Paper A CAR’S WILD PLUNGE. INDIAN BARBARITIES. A POSTAL SAVINGS PLAN. NEW YORK FIRE TEAMS. 1 Hand Car Ran Away Down a Steep Mountain, aud Two Men Were Killed. Frightful Orgies Along the West Coast of British Columbia. Senator Kyle nas Advanced an Idea That May I’osaibly Become Law. Powerful Horses That Arc Driven Three Abreast as la Boman Chariots. The attention of the department of In dian affairs has been called to tho bar barous practices of the Indians along the west coast of northern British Columbia, who, it appears, are still indulging in cannibalism, supposed to have been long ago given up. H. J. Simpson, a trader who has spent 25 years in the vicinity of Fort Ruperts, has just arrived here and 6tates that the Indians carry on their dances with all their old time ferocity, the only difference being that now they aro careful to have their wildest orgies only in the depth of winter, when the in clemency of the season has practically put a stop to trading and hunting and has driven all white men, including mis sionaries, to move to comfortable quar ters. So soon as they have the field to them selves preparations are started for the most disgusting orgies. Simpson, who, having married a full blooded “Klootch- man,” is what is known as a “squaw- man,” has been specially favored or trusted by being permitted to witness some of these rites and gives a terri ble description of what is known to the Indians as a “man eater dance,” which he witnessed a few months ago. In this dance the manista, or chief char acter, horrifies the spectators by appear ing with a “mummy” or the shriveled remains of a back number native, taken from an eminence upon which it was exposed to dry after death, and tearing the shriveled flesh from the bones as he dances about a huge log fire, all the time uttering the most frightful sounds in the Indian vocabulary of lamentations. Simpson also lately saw the horrible torture of a maiden in connection with another dance, in which, to prove herself worthy to be the bride of a brave chief tain, she allowed great barbed hooks to be driven through the flesh of her back and danced almost naked, while the chief held the reinB attached to the hooks and by a series of wrenches eventually tore the flesh apart and released them. Mis sionaries have taken great credit through out the civilized world for having con verted these savages, and the govern ment has been led to believe that the dances now carried on are only imita tions of former barbarity, but Simpson, who is a reliable man, asserts that they are no mockery at all, but a most revolt ing and cruel reality.—Victoria (B. C.) Special. ________________ The present financial stringency and 1 trouble with savings banks and other in stitutions of deposit have suggested to Senator Kyle of Dakota a postal savings scheme. He is of the opinion that the designation of certain postoffice3 in vari ous parts of the country as receivers for small deposits would be advantageous, and a bill is now before the senate com mittee on postoffices providing for the details of euch a plan. It is proposed to receive small deposits at money order offices, for which inter est at the rate of 2| per cent per annum will be paid. The depositors will receive stamps in denominations ranging from 10 cents to $1. These are to be kept as securities by the depositor and are trans ferable and redeemable on presentation at any money order office, proofs of course being required as to the identity of the holder. Í he money thus accumu lated by the government is to be loaned to farmers on first mortgage security on lands worth $5,000 and over at 4 per cent interest. The scheme is not wholly new or wholly impracticable. Postal savings banks are a regular feature of the Brit ish and continental postal arrangements of Europe. Mr. Wanamaker was a warm advocate of the idea while he was post master general. There is little doubt but that some plan of making small de posits through the postoflice would be useful to persons far removed from sav ings banks and other banking institu tions. They would make the hoardings of many people available in the interest bearing funds. The banking project, however, of loaning money to farmers on real estate is a matter upon which a difference of opinion might readily ex ist. As a consequence it would be quite necessary to discuss this feature of the Kyle bill exhaustively. It is to be hoped that a good working postal savings scheme will be developed in this country in the near future. While it may not be needed to the degree that it is in eome foreign countries, it would undoubtedly prove a great public con venience and an inducement to more general saving among persons of small income.—Baltimore Herald.

Sufficient money and com pulsory arbitration, and not federal bayonets and executive usurpation, are the needs of the hour. The federal gov ernment should also be divorced from corporate monopolies.

An Italian impresario has discovered a way out of tho “encore” cftflculty that is not open to the objections made to Mr. Hermann Vcziu’s proposal that they should be forbidden by the public authorities. The impresario in question controls a small operatic theater in Mi lan, and he has absolutely forbidden his ringers to repeat any of their songs, but at the same time he has placed the fol lowing notice in the vestibules: “Those persons who wish for a repetition of any numbers from the opera, or of any part of the ballet dancing, are begged to hand in their names at the box office.

The postal savings bank system, which is already tho most popular form of in vestment in England, has been brought to still higher perfection. All accounts are kept in the central office in London, and withdrawals are possible only after sending notice there. The new arrange ment for telegraphic drafts is now so perfect that depositors in the neighbor hood of London can collect their money at the branch postoffice within 40 min utes, or in the most distant parts of the kingdom within an hour of making the demand. The new facilities are already leading to a great increase in the amount of deposits.—London Standard. Alexander’s Cheerless Lot.

A party of archaeologists just returned here from the northeast corner of North Dakota tell a thrilling story of the abandoned city of West Lynne. The city is desolate and going to decay. No traffic goes on in its streets or business tn its stores. No homes are in its dwell ings. The streets are graded, have side walks, and trees and shrubbery flourish ju the yards surrounding the residences, but all is silence and loneliness. The town is opposite Emerson, just across the Manitoba line from St. Vin cent There, on two sides of the Red river and within an area of four square miles, are four towns—Emerson, West Lynne, Winston and Pembina. The history of the place is one of the romanoes of town building in the boom period, when Winnipeg was the metrop olis of the north. Some schemers, with moro fertility than scruples, platted and exploited a city on the river at a point where they claimed the Great Northern was to cross. Eastern capitalists were becoming interested, and money was plenty. There was no sham about the actual construction of that town, but a substantial reality. A man named Murray of Chicago was the agent. Ho 6old lota at auction for $5,000 each. Whilo ho would be sell ing, a telegram would come notifying him of tho sale of a certain plot, and it would be withdrawn. Then he sold ad joining lots at advanced prices. That was the broker feature. Meantime build ing was progressing. No board shanties, wood walls nor canvas shells, but handsome structures of brick or lumber, thoroughly finished in approved style, were erected, and to day the town is a handsome but useless monument to the credulity of some and tho hardihood of others. It has buildings which cost from $5, - 000 to $10,000, and the bridge, which cost $200,000, and is capable of holding a population of 20,000, and yet no hu man being lives in it—Philadelphia Times. EMBARRASSED BY THEIR RICHES. Why Some Men With a Pot of Money Are Not So Happy as Others. I feel genuine sorrow for a man Who has a pot of money in bank drawing no interest It spoils his digestion, ruffles his temper and keeps him awake nights. While the man who hasn’t anything and doesn’t expect to have anything is sound asleep, the man with idle money is tossing on his conch of anxiety. There are no tempting investments being offered the man who may need his cash within six months and cannot therefore salt it down in real estate. The banks of New York are not paying interest The savings banks are, but they have a good many safeguards against a man getting his money out in a pinch. Tho regular banks are suffer ing from an extraordinary glut of money, ey. . “Interest!” exclaimed an official of one of these concerns to a customer with a $20,000 balance. “Why, it is a favor to toko care of your money for you. We’d rather not have it so far as any advantage to us goes. We have so much on hand that wo can’t do any thing with it We are just loaded up with funds at present and nobody look ing for money. Legitimate investment seems at a standstill hereabouts. The rest of the banks aro in the same fix. ” So the customer came away, gloomily figuring up the difference between him self and the man with nothing but a clear conscience.—New York Herald.

A vase filled with exquisite tall lilies, another with a white blossomed plant, the name of which I did not know, and two or three large foliage plants gave the room, which is the only parlor the president and his wife have in the White House, a homelike look.

The change from two horse teams, which was begun in 1885, was brought about naturally enough by the increased weight to be carried. The department had been adding for some years previously a large number of life saving implements and tools, and these had finally weighted down the apparatus, particularly the trucks carrying the life saving implements, to such an extent as to interfere with making time going to fires. The first team to which a tliird horse was added was that of truck 10 in Fulton street. It proved so successful that a third horse was added to all the fire truck teams in the city. There has also been added a third ¡ horse to the teams of the heavier and to the teams of those engii lie on the sides of hills or in the hilly dis tricts of the city. About half of the city’s engines are now drawn by three horse teams, and all are provided with equipments by which they are enabled to use three horse teams in case of emergen cy. With the city’s better water supply and the use of heavier engines, the tend ency in the department is toward three horse teams for all engines. There are now no one horse tenders in use except in the double companies. A double com pany is one provided with two complete sets of apparatus—practically two com panies in one. In the absence of the first company the second company covers the ground. These companies are all in the crowded lower part of the city, where the room is not sufficient for the accommodation of four wheeled tenders with two horse teams, but in all the other companies four wheeled tenders with two horse teams are now used. Fire Chief Hugh Bonner says that the use of the three horse teams is found ad vantageous in every respect. It takes perhaps two or three seconds more time to hitch up a three horse team, but that is much more than gained on the road, and for long runs a three horse team can keep up a good, steady gait and get a company there on time. It takes more skill and more strength to drive a three horse team, but there is no difficulty in finding in the department men who can drive. The great advantage of the three horse team is that it gets the company there quickly. An especial benefit following their use is observable in winter. One now rarely or never hears of a fire ap paratus stuck going to a fire. The three horse team goes right ahead through the very worst going. The old spike team was not of much service. It could not compare with the team of three horses driven abreast, all under the control of the driver and each doing his full duty. There has been in recent years a visi ble increase in the number of three horse teams driven abreast in business use. There were in use in the city before 1885 a few fine three horse teams driven in this fashion, but it is probable that the greatly increased use of such teams in recent years is to a considerable extent due to the success attending their use in the fire department.—New York Sun.

She entered into relations with France not in order to make war on Germany, but to form a counterpoise to the triple alliance and prevent France from embarking on a policy of adventure which might have dragged Russia against her will into war. Now that Russia is sure of the pa cific intentions of France, she is binding Germany to her by ties of interest. Thus she holds in her hands the policy of two great nations which for nearly a quarter of a century have maintained a hostile attitude.
