THE OMAHA DAILY WKKf"'MONDAY " , OOTOKER 5 , 1S)0. !

The little town of Weber , Idaho , situated near tlio western border , at the point where the little stream that Is known ns the " \Veser ! river empties Its waters Into the winding Snake. Is the home , as most of the county scats In that great northwest flfc , of many Interesting characters. None save those who have nettled thereabout within recent years are without stories of ai't' ' < inlurp. reminiscences of the earliest set tlers that they have heard from the pioneers themselves or from their descendants , or ehastly Ink's of flshls with the- red men nml of massacres of the yellow men. Among nil these' ' story tellers I John ranks llrst , not only because of a peculiar charm In his manner of lelllnR his stories In his broken MtiRllsh , but because of the truth fulness that. Is Reiifally believed to be as sociated with his every statement. I John Is n Chinaman. He says that ho Is railed f John because he was the first of n family of many sons to arrive In the celestial empire. I John Is a liutichback , lie Is lame and Is decrepit with all the ail ments that usually come with old age , for be has passed the sixty-third anniversary of bis birthday. He has spent the greater part of his days In Idaho and Oregon and desires tr > end them In the country where occurred the many eventful happenings nt bis exciting life. Kor the last fifteen years John has been the faithful house servant of the leading merchant of the town. Ho works when he wanls lo and enjoys Ihe liberties that bis long term of service en title him to. Only once since coming to tbe little town has ho left It , nnd then be was none about two years. He traveled alt over the country , lived well on the $ fiO Hint was given to him before starting , and came back to say to bis employer : "Hoss , I'se bloke. Me want lo work , " WAS THR ONLY SURVIVOR. The reason lhat I John Is distinguished from Ihe grcal number of Chinamen who Inhabit the northwest Is the fact lhat , so far as Is known , he Is the only living sur vivor of ihe 1'orrlble massacre of Qulnn's ' river , Oregon , Ibal occurred early In Ihe spring of I860. Twenly-lhrce yellow men left San Francisco that spring bound for thu Qulnn's river country. They had planned to spend the enllro summer In washing for gold In Iho mountain slrcams there , and each expected to pan out for himself quite a snug little fortune , such as Chinamen's fortunes BO. Hcsldes the twenty-lbrco Chi namen thai were In 'the colony there were nbout a dozen whlto men , but they were nol considered superior to the yellow men In this expedition. Each man wns to work for himself , whether hi ; wns white or yellow. There were also n few wagons thai carried Iho camp Implements and necessary utensils. The men took turns In herding the horses when the party stopped for camp. All the horses were turned loose except ono and he was kept close by Ihe camp. On the event ful morning that saw the slaughler of nearly all of this party It was I John's turn lo look aflcr Iho herd , and his llllle horse was the one nearest the eamp. It was not far from Qulnn'a river , down In the south eastern corner of the stale , where Ihe party had camped for the night. They had before them sixty miles to their destination. On the trip from California no bands of the much feared red men bad been seen , though moro than once one of the party had descried smoke thai was supposed lo mean that Indians were not far away. No signs of the Impending doom of the gold hunters had been seen , and when they turned In for the night there was not n question among them but that they would bo up in the morning icsutnlng the march loward Iho mountain streams , whose waters were known to contain gold. According to I John It was just before daybreak , he thinks It must have been nbout 4 o'clock , when the Indians swooped down upon them. No cry of warning was beard and the surprise - priso of the celestials nnd their few white companions was complete. Before the adven turers had a chance to band themselves to gether , oven before they could arm them selves , the butchery of the red men begun. The lone survivor does not relate Just how bis companions died , for the very good reason lhat ho did not linger lo sec Ihe massacre , MADE A RUN FOR HIS LIFE. I John wns one of Ihe first to see the Intruders. With a cry of nlarm ho jumped toward his horse and coat and cul the rope lhat tied him to the camp. Ho had barely time to pick up the saddle that was lying on the ground and to throw It on his hor&e. He did not dare to tnke another moment to fasten the saddle en and roile away without tightening llio front cr back cinches. Ho says ho galloped away nt n furious pace and was even compelled to run between the advancing lines of the Invaders. Their pace toward the camp was so swift and their de- Biro to get a numerous collection of the plg- tnlls that they admired and coveted was so griMt that they did not stop al once lo give chase lo 1 John. His freedom was nol lo be secured so easily , however , for the work of killing his companions did lint occupy any great nmount of the Indians' time. As soon ns the butchery of the campers was complete two Indians with their squaws on their horses with them started after the Blnglo Chlnnman thai had made his escape. Somewhat ICES than a mile away was n sudden rise In the ground. John rode di rectly for this place , hoping to get over the hill nnd be far nway before bis would- be captors could gain much ground on him. Ho started up the middle of the hill and bis little horse was climbing up at a good pace , when ho lurned and saw a pony bearIng - Ing an Indian and his squaw climbing up thu side ot the bill to his rlslit. He urged on his borso harder thiui ever , but felt his heart lnk within him when he turned to his left and saw another Indian pony with a similar burden approaching the top of the bill there. They bad clearly started In dll- ferent directions to bead him off. Their paths were longer , perhaps , than his , but they were not to sleep and Ibetr ponies were climbing up with n swiftness that al most Insured them the race. U was a race and the odds were 2 to 1 against the Chinese hunchback , Yet he had an advantage , fa- bis horse carried but one rider and each of the Indian ponies held up a pair. Closer together came the three horses , all being violently urged on toward a com mon point. U now seemed to I John as though hla escajHi had been good , for his horse/ began to show In front of the one on either side. Hut near the summit an other mishap befell him that came near I ) sending him to meet his lute comrades. His horse stumbled on a rock nnd fell , throw ing ott the rider as well as the Insecure saddle. John jumped up and half pulled the horse up. The two Indian couples were but a few hundred yards away and when 1 they saw Die yellow man and bla horse down they only hastened their speed. The former had no time to stop for his saddle , and In a mitiuto was on his horse trying to got over the top of the hill , The red men were not only clwo to him , but gaining on him , The yellow man knew ho had one last resource , and reached for his revolver. To l.la dUmay ho found It was goiio. It had fallen out of the bolster when the horse stumbled , John concluded there was but one thing to do to run a bluff on-the redskins. So ho pulled out bis holster and pointing it at the buck and his squaw on the right ho took us deliberate aim as though bo were armed with a revolver. The holster was ot similar form and about the same ulze , and was taken by the In dians for the weapon it usually contained. With Bhrlll cries they pulled In their ponies and I John reached thu summit lu safety. He did not let Ills horse rest , but urged him on down bill after having crossed tha summit. Ho says the Indiana did not fol low across the hill. He supposes they went back to Ilnd some other pigtails to dangle from their belts , I John rode for four days and a good part of thu night time with out any food whatsoever and wltb but little drink. On tbe morning of the llfth day he was found completely exhausted by same government troopers. IIo was taken to the army post , and well looked after by the furgcon there. IIo pulled through after a long Illness , and ban been In eastern Oregon gen and westein Idaho since then. Thi story of Ihe massacre and of 1 John's escape Is well known among the old settlers In that part of the country , among whom the venerable Chinaman Is generally respected Ills story Is believed by all , and though II was not often lhat he can bo Induced to relate It , one Is well repaid for any ex pense ho may be put to by I John's nar rative of a truly thrilling experience.

THINKS CONFUSION OF SILVERITES SURE Defeat of llr.vnii Will lip Hie for Itevlvnl of llaslnc * * Sel dom WIOieHxeil In TlilH Country. NEW YOKK , Oct. 4. Henry Clo-s. head of the banking house ot Henry Clews & Co. , writes of the situation In Wnll street : In our last nilvlcon wo Intimated Unit the " " Wall losliiK Its "bear" clement In street WHS hold upon the market , and that prices were drlftltiK towards a rise which could no lonRer be held waiting for the result of the November election. That forecast has nl- fcady been confirmed. ThroUfchout the week there 1ms been a steady and free busIng - Ing movement , with a coimldcrnule rlre In quotation ; ! ; and nlthoupb some liberal sales have been made to realize prollts. the mar kct has taken the sleek readily , with only a transient yielding In prices. This firmness has been followed by London , where prices hnvo Hseli. and without any telling on New York either on short account or to realize. This , however , may not mean much , as Lon don hoiillitRH of Americans itppcnr to be at lire ont exceptionally llRht. This unwind turn Is the more assuring be.Mtiso it lias successfully overcome some new obstacles. The rates of foreign ex- ulinilKO have advanced to a point at which It no longer pays to brine iold this way ; and eonseiiuently there Is a cessation of en- KagcmentM for Importing the yellow metal. It Is trtio that this Is only u temporary In- UiTimtlon of the movement , due to the liquidation ot borrowings ) abroad of some $10 nuo.KO about two mouths URO , which nb- Hoibs the supply of bills for u few days ; but all do not umlertttimd this explanation ntid , for the moment , the market loses the exhilarating effect of a continuous liillux of cold money undn tiur market. Also , an other vl.slt of the "I'lnttu Orator" to this It-eallty has revived the timidity of the needlessly alarmed , though the sensation as brief and encouragingly void of elfeet on pound money enthusiasm. A yet more serious clement has been the cutting of rail rates on the routes extend ing from the lakes to the gulf ports. This Is a matter of real consequence to the roads serving the corn belt , which uro threatened \\lth the diversion of an Important amount of truffle from the Atlantic ports. Two ex traordinary corn crop : * , attended with low pi Ices , have largely Increased the Kurnpenn demand for that gialn ; nnd It Is therefore imtutal enough that an effort t-hould br made to secure this 4rntllc for the routes eiinnectlin ; with the wr.ulliorn ports. It Is an Illustration of the changes that arc con tinually turning up to tempt the roads Into concessions on rates , nnd In this ease the roads can hardly be blamed for the spirited way In which they arc facing a new source of competition. Outside the "cutting" In IhN particular section , however , the com panies are living well up to their agree ments , nnd the granger lines have little to complain of THAI-IB BALANCE PROSPECTS. Thewi drawbacks , however , are but tem porary Inlluenccs. The settlement for the 10OW.OMl sterling advances Is approaehln ; ; completion ; and. when that source of de mand for exchange has been satisfied , we may expect a return to the surplus of bills over the mercantile demand which has led to the Imports of gold : for the excess of ex ports : over Imports still continues with no visible abatement ; although , at the moment , berth room Is so scarce as to hold back ex ports for whleli engagements have been made ii fact which points to a prolonged favorable balance of trade. So far as re spects the political situation the prospect becomes more and more certain of the de feat of free fllver In November , only with growing probabilities that the adverse ma jority will be so overwhelmingly largo as to place that Issue beyond the possibility ot resurrection. And as to the diversion of corn exports to the gulf ports , while It may causu some loss on freight to certain rail roads It will help others and also will facili tate the foreign marketing of our chief ag ricultural crop , the exports of which arc likely to be unusually larpe. Great expectations are placed upon the national sense pf relief that wll attend the expected Uliimnh of a sound money policy on November 3. The habit of excessive1 caution Into which people have been edu cated by the last three years of apprehen sion has , however , the elfeet of preventing anticipation from taking too much for granted. The credit-granting power holds everything In Its control , and It Is the habit of bankers to act upon1 accomplished facts rather than hopes , no matter how well grounded. Industrial and mercantile In terests therefore arc waiting for the great relief , rather than talcing ; antiic. patory action upon It. In all brandies of trade , the feeling Is becoming more confident ; and when a great anti-silver vote Is an nounced , there will not be much waiting for an active resumption of business. Simultaneously with that recovery ot conlldcnce , there will be other conditions calculated to foster recuperation. The treasury will show a largo reinforcement of Its gold reserve. The net gold now held by the government , or assured to It , amounts to about 1130,000.000 ; and It seems a safe estimate to suppose that by the end of this month It may easily amount to $145,000,000 ; which'would bo the largest reserve bold since March , 1S91. The slg- nlllcance of this fact would lie not only In Us strengthening conlldcnce In our financial position and In promoting the value of our Investments abroad , but also In placing It In the power of the govern ment to restore arrangements under which the treasury would be permanently pro tected against the drains which havu necessitated the large bond Issues of the last two years. Clearly , wo are drifting Into Conditions of recuperation , which will make It much easier to place the gov ernment credit and Its note Issues In a safer position than has been possible since the crisis of ISM. TRADE REVIVAL SURI3. Nor Is It to be overlooked that , with the leglnnlng of November , the currency move ment will assume a direction calculated to bring a period of marked ease In the noney market. Even , during the. present month , money Is likely to accumulate in .ho banks. The How of currency to the nterlor has reached its culmination for this season , nnd Is likely to steadily decline from this time forward , while tbu bank re serves may be expected to bo fed by further Imports of gold. Ordinarily , the noney sent to the interior In August and September begins to flow back In Novem ber. The amount sent out , since the be ginning of August , by the New York banks ias so far amounted to about 5140,000,000 ; Hid that will bo available for swelling the escrves during the last two months of ho year , barring the shipments which mvo yet to bo sent to the south , which mve already been to some extent antlel- iiitcd by amounts sent to the relief of the embarrassed banks of New Orleans. Thus , assuming that the national ver- llct will rid us of the silver danger , the future has little to suggest misgivings and much to encourage sanguine hopes.Ve lo not counsel Incurring large engagements n prospect of these encouraging proba bilities ; but wu do advise our friends to Btund prepared for the great opportunities hut will bo presented when the nation ustlfles Its honor nnd good judgment by lechirlng for a , sound money policy. lli.M : !

This net-back JUIH not been of much consequence , measured by changes recorded In nuotatlotiH ; but none the less bus been n net-back suniclent to Inlluenca many of the traders who or.lln.irlly ara most nt the front In an advancing muikol. ( The hear party nnd there I * such a party , noworful und aggressive hns been ut work Industriously. At ono time they seemed dis posed to do n Rood deal of hurrahing- . Hut they did not stay long In that mood , for. as matter of fact , the net-buck which bus been nffei'tlnj ; thlnps In Wall street this week has been qulto as much of a handle,1 , to thn beam ris to ihe bulls' . For tbe latter Involved a reaction , which , whlla It ban not Kone far , has none the less considerably dampened iho ardor of conspicuous leaders. ( For the bear contingent It has been disap pointing In that whllo quotations have he-en 7c somewhat softened and bull ronlduncu ( dis turbed , there has been disclosed an under tone of llrmneFs qulto beyond anythliiK of thii sort that raiders of the market havu en countered In many u loutday. . This situation makes the stock market fair llKhtlnt ? ground. Xelther sld can claim to bo safely Intrcne ird. Itoth must fight to bold their present status. To KJln from the other side the winner has not to bo up and ilolns. Neither the ono party nor the other will confirm the truth of this statement of tlin ruse , but It Is true. The reaction that has romp wn not un heralded. Indeed , It should bu said In fair ness that some people of congequencc on the bull side not only anticipated It but worked for It , believing the effect of It must bt healthful. For a fortnight Important com mission houses have been counseling CUB tamers against getting Into the market while It us BO luTSWTnt. The walling pol ! < < hiw for I ns * - & 11 en nt nil to the tnst of the rank nnd flU\ ; And against the ndvle ut ihe Ultni con. cfiiAitvwoutsiders hav been dally getting tn deeper and deeper There Is probably now a larger representn tlon of the public In the market than at an time In a couple trf years. Moreover , mos of those who haw got In have profits t their credit. Half a dozen times there have appeare wl at seemed to be glens of n sharp reaction but every time tlll'tftet-Jose ot this week th Indications have turned out to be unreliable and that largely for the reason that on every concession tJn'to has been a new cro of buyers ready to rush In. All this Is s novel In recent Wall street history tha even the veteran haulers have been unabl to take proper acqnunt of It. When , however , It appears that Europe has become so much' affected and alarmci by America's grip on her gold that extraor dlnnry methods are pursued to Stop the ye ! low metal's natural flow this way , the re action comes easily. So far It Is slight- so light , In fact , that many old observers treat It as a trivial matter not likely to las beyond n period of a few days. This Is ni exceptionally cheerful view , but It can In stated upon the very highest authority tha banking houses with close ISilropean rea ! > lions do expect an early renewal of the golt Import movement. One such banking Urn tells mo that the total gold shipments this way before New Years will probably nggre- gate KIT',000.000 beyond what has nlreudj , arrived. This sort of Information-when I develops Into actual accomplishment wll have a tremendous effect on sentiment In the world of finance. Private cable dispatches received todn > from London state that the loan market a' practically every European center , am especially at London , has so softened that the owners of money must soon begin to seek profitable fields for the use of their funds In America. New York bankers are more cheerful over the outlook. Remittances west and soutli are still called for by movers of the crops but by the middle of this month the move ment this way will set In sharply , The new' tonic tone of the grain market backed up by the wholesale cxportatlot movement of American commodities. Is ex erting much Influence on Investing senti ment. If the better prices for wheat bolt' the effect will bo felt In the security mar ket to the extent of offsetting most of the factors upon which the bear contingent are relying for help In their depression game. If u wheat boom , such as has been under way. can bo maintained , there cannot Ions bo doubt anywhere ns to further gold Im ports. Gold would como with a rush. It slmplv could not be headed off. Polities has censed to cut much of a fig ure In stock market calculations. It Is here so far conceded that honest money will win In November that the man rash enough to suggest anything else gets suspected of menial trouble. None the less and this Is a help to bear operators com mission brokers still think It wise to advise customers to be patient III ! after the elect - t on. Then , with Major McKlnley elected they agree nil old-fashioned boom will be due nnd unsuppresslble. The coming week will provide many tests. If the reactionists , the bears , allied with the u trn-priident bulls , nro not able by the middle of the week to give prices more of n tumble than they have so far taken the chances arc five to one that October will develop tin advancing market wortbi of comparison with the cheerful one of Sen- tembcr.

All other markets were heavy , corn dec'.lnlng % c , oats * sc and provisions from lOc to 17'X.c. In the wheat pit at the opening everything pointed toward lower prices. December , which closed yesterday at GliKc. started at CS'/ise , and only a little could be sold at that , thu bulk of the lir.it transaction being at ( , S'4c. ' After fluctuating for a short time between CSMc and isc ; , It dipped to GS'ic and rebounded to GS ! c. iloro was for sale at that , however , than there wore buyers for , nnd the price resumed Its declining ten dency. Ihe apparent cause of the opening weakness was the Liverpool cable , which quoted futures Id low'er. This was more of a decline than was expected , though It was doubtless partly due to the reduction of Liverpool dock charges. The northwest wns "perniciously active , " receipts at .Min neapolis and Dnluth amounting to 1,714 car loads , compared with 83S last week , and 1174 last year. Argentine's shipments for the week were 163,000 bu. , compared with 80.000 bu. on the week before , and with 10000 bu. two weeks ago , Perhaps a much more powerful reason for the opening decline , nnd , ut any rate , for the weakness which became so pronounced as the session ad vanced , wan the feeling among traders which has been steadily growing for the past week that tliu recent advance has been too fast , and a reaction of a material kind from realizing sales to tuko prollts wns inevitable. After the reactio : ! to fiSi c the market became very weak , and about half nn hour from the close it got down to Gi.c. . After the reliction to C8(4c ( tlie innrki't became very weak nml nbout a half hour from the close It got down to GflVic.
