To take the peace. This document, officially | the taste oa these things is to bene- passed by the synod of the Atha-| fit at oue stroke the employer, the basca diocese, sets out that, owing to the great mortality of beaues and other smal] game, the Indians for nearly a year have been in a per- petual state of starvation. Their | food supply and their power of pro- | curing clothing have been affected. They are now in a complete state of destitution and unable to provide themselves with clothing, ammu- nition, etc., for the winter. Many of their dogs (so necessary to the Indi- an for traveling and hunting) have perished, thus seriously increasing the difficulty of getting a living. During the winter of 1886-7, on ac- count of starvation and consequent cannibalism, a party of twenty Cree Indians was reduced to three. In the McKenzie river district there were several deaths by starvation and one or more of cannibalism last winter, and among the Fort Chippe- wanian Indians between twenty and thirty starved to death. Within the personal knowledge of the petition- ers many Indians, Crees, Beavers and Chippewanians, at almost all points where there are missions or trading posts, would certainly have starved to death but for the help given by the traders and missionaries at those places, furnished very often at great personal inconvenience. Many women and children are now perfectly helpless, and must starve to death or eat one another this winter unless help comes. As They Once Talked.

Cleveland's Friends Willing to Pat up Money. New York, Sept. 28.—The follow- ing editorial appears iu the Sun: With the president's check the committee received a check for $10,- 000 from the Hon. Thomas F. Bay- ard, a check for $10,000 from the Hon. Charles S. Fairchild, a check for $10,000 from the Hon. H. C. Whitney, a check for $10,000 from Hon. Don M. Dickinson, in all from the president and cabinet, the haud- some sum of $50,000. But three members of the cabinet, Secretary Endicott, Secretary Vilas and the Pan Electric attorney general gave nothing. However to make good every deficiency, the Hon. W. L. Scott gave $20,000; Mr. Sidney L. Fairchild, Secretary Fairchild’s fath- er, and Mr. J. J. Hili, the demoerat- ic hustler of Minnesota, gave $10,- 000 apiece. The Paynes, of Cleve- land, gave liberally, and other per- sonal friends of President Cleveland clubbed in swelling the aggregate contributions to the impressive total of $150,000. A Retutation. Butter, Mo., Oct. 1, 1888. Eprror Ties: It becomes my painful duty to re- fute an article published in your issue of Sept. 26th. Iknow not who the author was, but the writer is known and he must take the blunt. He speaks of my novel way of re- ducing the surplus in the United States treasury; perhaps he does not know the banks are loaned sixty millions of dollars, upon which they do not pay one mill of interest, but which, if the laboring men or farmers want, they have to pay ten or more per cent for the privilege of using. He suggests to turn the surplus over to the town council. Does he. intend running for councilman again next spring, and get there—provi- ing his own party does not slaughter him? He speaks of my keeping the money in the iron safe at the court house, where thieves could break through and steal. No, no; the democratic records of Bates county show it is already gone, and nobody knows where. Now, so far as his sug- gestions go, they might be applied to some of the old parties, but as far as Iam concerned, if elected, (and I will not be slaughtered by the party who nominated me) I will put the money where it will be safe, and account for it; also run the office in the interest of the people (and not self), and no dictator need apply. So | far as my being at Virginia is con- | cerned, it is false. Ihave never been there but once in sixteen years, and that was over five yearsago. As for Mr. Thompson, the people of Bates county know him too well for me to comment on his actions in this cause. Now, just a word in regard to the late primaries: I have been inform- ed that my name was used to injure one candidate for county surveyor. In reply will say, I never gave any- one authority to use it, and if it was used it was done (maliciously) with- out my knowledge or consent. Thanking you for space allowed, I } remain, Respectfully, | Geo. M. Ristey. Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people mis- erable, and often leads to self-de- j struction.

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 27.—It is rumored in Minneapolis sporting circles that the man who struck the deadly blow in the fight at Grand Forks last week was an eastern pugi- list traveling under the alias of Barnett. It was also stated that he was in Minneapolis yesterday and took the evening train for the east. “He wasa ringer that the Dakota sports secured from the east for the express purpose of doing Fulljames,” remarked a local pugilist. “I am not sure that this is the man, but I am informed by a reliable party that he is the one that struck the blow that killed Fulljames. Of course it was only an accident and the au- thorities should not trouble him.” English Spavn Liniment removes all Hard, Sott, or Callouscd Lumps and Blemishes from horses, Blood Spavin, Curbs, Splints, Sweeney, Stifles, Sprains Sore and Swollen Throat, Coughs, Etc- Save $50 by use of one bottle.
