A telegram from Kansas City is as
follows: United States Marshal J. S.
Williams and ten deputy marshals ar-
rived here today from Paris, Tex., with

oners are all Indian Territory horse
thieves and formed part of a big band

themselves thoroughly adapted to the
ways of civilization. The road over-
seer of Burnham township in Logan
eounty notified all the voters in his
section to appear one Saturday to work
out their poll tax. When the hour ar-
arrlved, as usual, on the first notifica-
tion, not a white man was present, but
12 Pawnee Indians; who live on allot-
ments in the township, were every one
on hand with shovels long before the
appointed time, and put in a good day's
work, receiving the overseer’s certifi-
cate with great satisfaction.
The people of Pottawatomie county
have decided that the outlaws of that
section must go. An organization has
Been formed, which, while known by
no particular name, is in fact a vigi-
lante committee. Auxiliary organiza-
tions have been effected in nearly ev-
ery school district, and all bodies will
work in unison. It is the intention of
the order to merely assist the regular
authorities, furnishing them with in-
formation post haste, if necessary, and
responding, if called upon to aid in pu
suits and arrests. This determined
move is understood by the desperadoes
and it will, more than likely, put a
Stop to their depredations, at least for
* time.

City jail, Jessie Findley, has been ar-
rested and taken to Oklahoma City to

sex. The officers did not give her time
to put on her shoes and stockings, but
took her barefooted. She is about 20
years old, wears her hair cut short,
and it is said, if neatly attired, would
be quite good looking. Her wayward
career has been too short to show its
effects upon her face to any extent.

ding, after her descent from the bal-
loon in a parachute. He says he was
that man, and the committee has re-
fused payment.
The discovery of a lot of charred hu-
man bones in a big stove in H. H.
Holmes’ office in Chicago, leads the
officers to believe that he also murdered
Miss Minnie Williams, of Fort Worth,
Tex., who was with him when he took
charge of the Pietzel children. Some
burned buttons and a piece of watch
chain were found in the stove and were
identified ns belonging to Miss Wil-
liams. She was Holmes’ stenographer.
At the tow n of Mart, Texas, 20 miles
from Waco, for some time bitter feel-
ing lias existed between the frienda of
Abe PhiUips (colored) and Phillip Ar-
nold, (white) growing out of the killing
of Phillips by Arnold and the latter’s
death through PhiUips son. The feud
was ended Saturday morning by dy-
namite being thrown into the house
of Mrs. Phillips, causing a terrific ex-
plosion, and instantly killing the wo-
man and four of her children, and fa-
tally injuring the other two and two
men who were at the house.
The big electric locomotive of tho
Baltimore Sc Ohio, has for several
weeks been making little trial trips

fully pull one of the regular heavy
freight trains of the B. Sc 0. The elec-
tric locomotive took the freight train
over a mile out of Baltimore, then it
was taken on to Philadelphia by the
Bteam locomotive, while the electric
locomotive returned to the power house,
making the round trip in 15 minutes.
The federal officials at San Francisco
have received information that a ring
has been formed in that city by Chinese
and whites to land Chinese fraudulent-
ly, by which they hope to beat the ex-
clusion act. The Mongolians are to be
shipped to San Francisco from Hong
Kong as natives of California. For every
one that is safely landed the ring is tore-
ceive $200. Every Chinese that tries to
land in the future will be closely ex-
amined and unless Be proves beyond a
doubt that he has a right to land he
will be sent back to China.

with tho prescription, and to contain
no poison, and the verdict was that tho
child came to its death from cholera

gist nor the attending physician was
in nny manner responsible.
The Annual Summer Institute of In-
dian school employes which meets at
El Iteno, O. T., on August 5 to 10, Is
one of the most important events of the
year to all Interested in the Indian
problem. The railroads have made a
round trip rate of one and onc-third
fare on the certificate plan. Those de-
sirous of entering the Indian service
cither by civil service examination or
otherwise should not fail to attend.
The program will include most inter-
esting papers and addresses by promi-
nent educators in and out of tho In-
dian school service. Dr. W. N. Kall-
mann, superintendent of Indian schools,
will be present and will outline the
work of the coming year, and this fact
alone makes the meeting an interest-
ing one. A most attractive feature of
the week will be drives to the adjacent
Indian schools at Darlington and Cad-
do Springs, und to Fort Iteno, where a
musical and military program is prom-
ised. The occasion will afford oppor-
tunity to those who have never seen
tho Indian in Ills home life to do so to
their complete satisfaction.
A fair association has been forint d
by tho live and progressive citizens of
Alva and representatives from all parts
of Woods county called the Western
Oklahoma Fair association, and it haa
been decided to hold the first annual
meeting September 16-10, inclusive. It
is proposed to make the meeting an in-
ter-territorial affair, and secure such
attractions as will induce people from
all parts of Oklahoma and Southern
Kansas to attend. Committees are now
at work and everything is auspicious
for the success of the meeting. The
first day will be anniversary day of the
Strip opening, and Governor Ronfrow
and Delegate Flynn will made ad-
dresses. September 17 will be irriga-
tion day, tho third day will be free sil-
ver day, and the last day will be Woods
eounty day. Other attractions will be
the speed ring, a base ball tournament
between four of the best clubs in the
territory, and many other minor fea-
tures. Alva has at this time a race
course second to none in Oklahoma,
and the best horses in Oklahoma and
Southern Kansas will be there.

During Mhe meeting of the Western
Oaa association held In Pittsburg May
In, 15. and 17, a paper waa read on the
"Object of Incandescent gnu lighting,
which, With Ihe dlacui; . following II.
conveyed much of a co . fr rtlng aa well
»» liilcreatlng character to the general
reader, or, rather, gas consumer. The
author of Iho paper In the Ural place
had many things to say In disparage-
ment of the Welsbach Incandescent
gas burner, from his standpoint as a
gas manufacturer, on the ground of Its
reducing the output and profit of the
gas company under hla charge, by af-
fording those who used It an Increased
amount of light nt about half the eoat
of the ordinary burner. In the course
of the discussion which followed Ihe
same gentleman gave annie Illustra-
tions. ns, for example: "We have a
elubroom In our city which used SI.400
cubic feet of gas from Jun. 1 to Mny 1,
1891. On Jan. 1. 1895. we replaced (he
burner commonly used there wllh Wels-
bueh burners and from that time to
May 1. 1895. they used 55.100 feet—u
loss lo us of 45,000 feet, or over 50 per
cent on one customer In six months.”
From the point of view of this manager
of a gasworks this was truly disheart-
ening. but how about the club in ques-
tion or consumers generally? To these
we think Ihe statement will convey
nothing hut pleasure, qualilled by the
consideration that It is almost "too
good to 1m* true." If any such state-
ment came from the Welsbach com-
pany or any one Interested therein it
would carry little weight, but coming
from one who Is manifestly an enemy
and In deadly earnest, It Is equally
convincing and encouraging to the
gas-consuming public. It may, how-
ever, be asked, Is this benefit to the
public to be secured only at the ex-
pense, and. perhaps, by the ruin of the
gas companies? For. If this Is so, it
may In the long run be of doubtful ad-
vantage even to consumers. To this
question an abundant answer was
given in the discussion which followed
the paper on Incandescent gas light-
ing.

A dispatch from Hennessy, Ok., July
16, says: The posse of farmers organ-
ized at Sheridan to capture Y’eager’a
gang of horse thieves, found the trail
twenty-five miles west of Waukomis
and ran part of the gang to cover in a
log house. They surrounded the house,
captured the desperadoes’ horses and
saddles and some arras. After twenty
hours siege the outlaws, five in num-
ber, forced two women living there to
walk ahead of them as shields to keep
the posse ’ from shooting, and, each
drawing a brace of Colt's revolvers,
they made their escape to the heavy
timber, firing a number of shots to
keep the posse from pressing them too
closely. They released the women
after making them walk over a mile
and stealing horses from farmers made
their escape. They headed for their
rendezvous in a section of the Glass
mountain known as “The Boot,” where
they are known to have a fortified
stronghold. The posse is still deter-
mined and is being recruited daily.

Klectrlc Canal Towagi*.
Canal barges have recently been very
successfully towed by electric power on
the summit level of the Canal de Bour-
gogne. This portion of the canal is
throe and three-quarter miles long and
has been made very narrow to reduce
construction expenses. There Ir. no tow-
path and hauling Is effected on the sub-
merged chain principle. The hauling
upon the chain Is now done by elec-
tric power Instead of by steam, as here-
tofore. A generating house has been
fixed at each end of the section, the
current being generated by water
power. The dynamos at the two sta-
tions, three and three-quarter miles
apart, are coupled In series. The three
mains are suspended on rubber Insula-
tors In part from wires spanning the
canal and ln part from the tunnel roof
of the tunnel sections of the canal.
Trolley arms of the usual type are used.
The motor used on the tug which hauls
upon the submerged chain Is of nlne-
teen-horse power, running at 900 revo-
lutions per minute. During the passage
through the tunnel the current Is util-
ized to light the boat and at night Is
used for this purpose during the entire
run. The cost of the plant was about
*27,000 and a saving of *800 a year Is
recorded.

Wo are often told that while we may
be able to cure consumption or pneu-
monia, yet we cannot cure a common
cold. We desire to state In this connec-
tion what we have often said before,
that we have a very favorite remedy
for all these eases. We have tried It In
very many Instances and with almost
Invariable success. The remedy to
which we refer Is phenacctlne. So soon
as the patient feels the premonitory
symptoms of tho cold let him take a hot
footbath at bedtime, drink freely of
some warm drinks, and take five, seven
and a half, or even ten grains of phen-
acetlne. In a strong adult we do not
hesitate to give the full dose of ten
grains. The result Is that the patient
has a good night's sleep and awakens
In ihe morning free from pain, while
nearly all the symptoms of the cold
have disappeared. Of course unusual
eare must be exercised during the day
to prevent the body from becoming
chilled.—Medical Compend.
