Nineteen widows of South Cuto,
Mich., have formed a club to try
and induce men to go to that town,
but with the nineteen widows in
view, it is not likely that any
prospective benedict will go to
South Onto for his health.
The account of expenses given
to congress for ex-Speaker Crisp's
funeral is the smallest rendered in
recent years, being $300, as com
pared with an average of about
$3,000 for the burial of a member
of congress. Mr. Crisp left little
or no property, and the house
committee on accounte has voted1
to report a resolution paying the
expenses of hip last sickness.
The Vnlley Record says that it
knows of some farmer who were
told that if McKinley was elected
they would be giyen an extension
of time on their mortgages, but
that if Bryan was elected, the loan
companies would demand their
money. Many of these farmers
were silver men at heart but voted
for McKinley to save their homes,
and the mortgages have been fore
closed and their homes are adver
tised for sale. It is safe to say
they won't be fooled agaiu.
Count Tolstoi, it is reported, has
been excommunicated by the
"Holy Synod of the Greek
Church." This can't hurt Tolstoi,
while it brings the church into
contempt. Tolsloi has done more
good in the world in forty years
than the church has dons in forty
centuries if the evil it. has also
done he BUutracted. The excoui
munication of Tolstoi wiil be
about as effective as the Pope'"
bull against the comet, or the ban
laid upon the jackdaw of Rheims.
Welcome.
The republican tariff builders
are hearing arguments from those
interests which are clamoring for
protection unnder the new tariff
bill. None but those who are to
be benefited will be heard before
the committee. A tariff based on
these arguments may be a blessing
to those special interests protected
but not the producers and con
Burners of the country whom it is
proposed to tax for the benefit of
the few. If it is just to tax any
man in order that another may re
ceive a bounty, it is right that all
should be protected and a prohibi
tory tariff placed on all imports,
The interests of one class will be
heard by the committee, but not
those of the vast army which must
pay the bills. Dispatch.
When Senator Dolph came back
from Washington two years ago to
attend to his senatorial contest, a
general howl went up from his op
ponents, who declared that he had
no right to leave his teat in the
senate for that purpose, and many
attribute his defeat to that cause.
It was the Mitchell element of the
organization which most seriously
objected to his presence here.
There is no change this year.
Mitchell is now a candidate for
re-election and he arrived in Port
land last baturdiv tor the same
purpose for which Mr. Dolph re
turned two years ago, and this we
understand he has done -it the
urgent request of his managers,
who evidently think their chief is
in danger. What more right has
Mitchell out of his senatorial seat
than Mr. Dolph had? Will history
repeat itself? Dispatch.
There ia more catarrh in thin section of
the country than ati other disraBes put to
gether, and until the last few years m
supi-osed to be incurable. Fora (Treat many
yeara doctore pronounced it a local disease,
ami prescribed local remedies), and by cop
stantly fuiliuR" to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
tegspoonful. Ii acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any use It
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tejti
timonials. Address,

THE LEGISLATURE.
The republicans in the legisla
ture have a good working majority.
This majority should speedily
organize the house and get down
to business. They cannot shift
the responsibility to the Tew popu
list and democratic members,
such au attempt would be the
"buby act" in its worst feature. If
this republican majority cou't
organize the house, they hud better
adjourn and go home. They and
they alone, are responsible and the
people will remember.

THE WILD MUSTANG.
HN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HE WAS
ONCE A TERRIBLE PEST.
Renins Wer Compelled to Tain Aetlra
Hwunraa for Self Protection Butting
Drtoos and Dosnofftta Battles Bow th
Corral Was Had.
The southern portion ot the great San
Foaquin valley was overran in the early
lays by a species of wild horse known
as the mustang, or Mexican wild horse.
Ehey were to be seen In droves, not in
eqnently numbering soveral hundred
ch. They wore too small, "weedy"
and generally worthless for the most
jiart to be of any value to the settlers.
On the contrary, they existed in such
plumbers as to constitute an annoyance
and injury to the settlers engaged In
'agriculture. In a single night a band
'of wild horses would sweep down upon
the cultivated fields and literally destroy
the crops which It had taken months of
hard labor to produce. The pioneers
had ample cause to wage war upon these
animals. They were undoubtedly a peat
and source of danger much to be dread
ed. Moreover, whenever a band of wild
noises came down Into the settlements,
tbey would lure away with them the
domestic horses, leaving the settlers
helpless.
! These depredations were so frequent
that, as a matter of self protection, tin
pioneer farmers and stockmen of these
valleys were compelled to take active
measures. They would inaugurate large
hunting parties, or "drives," In older
the better and more effectually to exter
minate these animals.
The early methods used in this coun
try in hunting the wild horse were pe
culiar. When a bnnt had been deter
mined upon and a favorable locality se
lected, the hunters would erect two lines
of fence, starting them about four feet
apart and continuing parallel for some
distance, then diverging nntil the ter
minals were several hundred yards
apart. These fences were strong and
high enough at tho apex of the triangle
to securely restrain the wild horses from
breaking them down when crowded into
the tnclosnre. The fence completed, the
hunters, all well mounted, would start
out to locate a band of the troublesome
mustangs. When the objects of their
search were sighted, the hunters grouped
together, and the order of the "drive"
was decided upon. One of the party
started out on the trail of the band of
wild horses, close enough to keep them
constantly moving. This did not re
quire as much exertion as might bosnp
posed, ss the wild animals would dash
off at full speed, but would seldom con
tinue any great distance in a straight
line, usually turning and circling so
that the "driver" could, by "cutting
the angles," beep the band moving
without having to travel half the dis
tance covered by the wild horses.
In two hours or so the first "driver"
would be relieved by a fresh man and
horse, the whole party thus taking turns
at keeping the wild horses on the move.
The main object was to so fatigue the
game as to wear out the animals, ren
dering their capture comparatively easy.
Thus hour after hour the wild horses
would have a tireless pursuer hanging
on their trail. Turn which way tboy
would, be their pace swift or slow, the
solitary horseman ever followed them
as faithfully as their shadows. Night
brought them no rest, as the "drives '
were made during the full of the moon.
On the second day the drivers would be
kept on duty for short intervals, so that
they might press the now jaded wild
animals. All of the pursuers would
now asMmble, and one after another
turn the flight of the wild animals until
they would have them running in a cir
cle, the pursuers taking stations at reg
ular distances. Then began the final
"roundup." One man would dash aft
er the band and chase them to his near
est companion in that direction, when
that man would drive them as rapidly
as possible to the next, and so on around
the circle, each driver having a shorter
and still shorter distance to ride, until
the band had completed the entire cir
cle. Steadily the circles were lessened.
and the horses were worked toward the
open space between the outer lines ot
the corral.
Ii there were any choice animals in
the band and anyone desired to capture
them, this would be his opportunity. It
was the most interesting period of the
drive. The striking, kicking, rearing,
plunging, squealing and biting of the
wild horse when first lassoed are de
scribed by those who have witnessed
such scenes as most exciting. After one
lasso had been successfully cast a sec
ond is thrown about the neck of the ani
mal, and the lussos were then drawn to
opposite directions, holding the strug
gling captive securely between its two
captors. By this means it would be
finally forced into submission.
This work completed, the band would
be rapidly forced into the Inclosnre, the
drivers closing up the rear and urging
the wearied animals into the corral un
til they were crowded compactly to
gether, with no hope of escape except
through the narrow lane, where certain
lleatb awaited them. Men atmed with
strong spears stood on each side of this
narrow opening, and as the animals
were crowded through it received its
coup de grace.
The conditions of the country have
changed vastly. The antelope and the
elk have gone, the wild cattle have been
forced into the mountains, and only a
few of them remain even there. This
is aleo tr je of the wild horse. The wild
horse, however, is not as yet wholly ex
tinct in California. Those now found
in this state are, so fur as I have been
able to learn, confined to the regions of

TRIBUNE recognizes the fact that the American people .are
now anxiouB to give their attention to homo and business
interests. To meet this condition, polities will have far less

which THE TKIBUNE has labored fi om its inception to
the present day, and won its greatest victories.
Every possiblo effort will be put forth, and money freely
