Lebanon : Express. H. Y. KIRKPATR1CK, Editor - a, ix4 - Proprietor 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.

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. TENNESSEE HAPPENINGS. BY OESAB.

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 Mount Whitney and Mount William son. San Francisco Chroniclei Rlpans Tabules cure dyspepsia.
