Nashville,
Tenn. – The Internal Revenue
Department is determined, as result of the increase of illicit distilling and
the killing and attempted murder of several revenue men in this state to bring

plenty of funds it is little doubt that the agents will make matters lively for
the mountaineers.

An electric clock has recently been placed in the
office of the Badger Paper Co. This time piece is very ingeniously contrived
and has an attachment which will indicate whether or not the workmen at the
mill are on duty. The watchmen will be required to report every half hour
during the night and if they fail to do so this clock will show it.

Omaha, Neb. – The sheriff of Johnson County, with a posse traced
marauding Indians to the Arapahoe reservation and applied to the chiefs to have
those who have been off the reservation stealing given up. He succeeded in
getting only two turned over to him to be dealt with by civil authorities. Gen
Howard says if they are severally dealt with there will be trouble with the
Indians. He said that the Indians had not been fairly treated by the government,
and they had been starving.
