Tres: Our hunting party, consisting of ten in number, left Butler on the 4th of Dec. and arrived in Taney county on the 6th, having hunted | two days without success. The deer have all left this section on ac- ceunt of the failure of the mast and gone to parts unknown. The crops in this county the past season was almost a failure, for want of rain at the proper time. Corn is worth fifty cents per bushel, wheat sixty- five cents, pork high, cattle very cheap. The farmers here claim that their hogs have died off rapidly this fall with a disease which they pro- nounce to be measles. This is a fine country for poor people from the fact that they seem to enjoy themselves fine. Owing to the fact that the deer have left this section, we will return to Butler in a few days. Respectfully, D. G. N. | funds, and send the children wherev- high, and I for one am sorry I made j it. I wish [ could get out of it was a vietory for the Indians.” Maj. John Lyons, attorney of the It suid: Yes, the lease has been signed. It was too much. We have been paying $100,000 a year. Perhaps the lease was worth $150,000. It was not worth more than that, but we had to do it.” The major leaves to-night for Wash association, ington, and says no meeting of the —— a =~ association will be held there. BA total eclipse of the sun will take place on January 1, 1889, along a track 80 miles wide, extending from the Aleutian Islands and running centrally through Point Alene, Cal.; Winnemucca, Nev.; Mountain Mead- ow, Idaho, and terminating at Lake Winnipeg. Elsewhere in North America it will be partial. At St. Louis and in this vicity it will begin at 3:19 p. m.,real time. There will be a partial eclipse of the moon Jan- uary 16 °89, visible everywhere in America. It is all rot to call Chickasaws In- dians and to consider them wards of the nation. They laugh at the idea themselves. A careful observor can see very little difference between the Chickasaws and the Texans, Missou- rians, Kansans or surrounding peo ple. Although they claim that there are 2,000 full blood Indians in the tribe, it isnot often that a copper- colored citizen is encountered. The people are welleducated. Itis their boast that every Chickasaw can at least read and write. The educa- tional facilities of the Nation are am- ple. There are four firstclass acad- emies capable of accommodating 200 pupilseach maintained by the Na tion. There is also an academy conducted under the auspices of the Methodist Church, South, that is liberally patromzed. There are 10 free district schools. When the academies are crowded, or for any other good and substantial reason, the parents or guardian of children can claim a pro rata of the school An Osceola, Mo., corraspondent of the Kansas City Times; writes to that paper that:—a fine vein of zinc ore has been struck%four miles east of town, and the Southern road con templates building a switch thereto. Several other minerals have been found in the county, including a very superior quality of lithographic stone, and the people have gone wild with mineral excitement. Several Kansas City gentlemen are looking over the prospects. THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR | PHARIS & SON WHOSE AD.

Andnot only this, but if there are Chickasaws by blood residing in’ the Choctaw or Cherokee nations or in Texas, Mis- souri, or elsewhere they are entitled totheir portion of the school funds, and many of them receive it regular- ly. Here is an idea for States and people that boast of a more perfect civilization than can be found in the region bordering on the Wachita and Red River. Only the English lan- guage is taught in the Chickasaw schools. The Chickasaw have no written language of their own.—St. Louis Republic. Too Much “Courtesy.” To the St. Leuis Republic.

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. ed Martin livi from Bo 13.—A man 7 a tew mues ng Green received notice early in the week that if he did not. go to work ud support his family he would meet punishment at the ha Martin paid no attention to the no- of “Wood county vigilants.” evening as he started for home in an intoxicated condition he was siezed by a band of masked men and taken into the woods. Ayvope was thrown around his neck, one thrown end over a limb. He began to pray. Twice the men cut the prayers short by drawing their victim up until he dangled the air. Then they stripped him. fied him to a tree,and in applied becch switches until his back was a mass of bleeding tiesh. His clothes were again replaced and he was taken home where he now lies sick. A few nights ago a man named Miller, living 2t Leipsic received a notice similar to one sent Martin. He paid uo attention to it. He was visited early in the week by White Caps, taken from the house and un- mercifully lashed. At Fosteria notices were posted a week ago and when they were torn down by those to whom they were directed others were sent. General notices were addressed “To whom it may concern,” were tacked on the trees in front of ex-governor Fos- ter's residence and the yards of the prominent citizens. Tuesday a band of men, mounted and equipped in white cap outfits, dashed through the town. An attempt was made to follow them, but they: scattered and were soon lost in a dense forest a few miles from the town. Defiance, Napoleon, Perrysburg and Maumee have been visited al- though no actual outrage was at- tempted. The skulland cross bones with the representation of a bowie knife beneath, is a favorable sign of the order in this vicinity. At Napo- leon a notice bore the words: God hates liars, perjurers and adulterers. The white cappers are Lord’s chosen people to wreak out His vengeance on the wicked and un- just. The people are becoming much alarmed. Tue proposition to admit Dakota as two states, which is strognly sup- ported by the Republicans in Con- gress, has suggested the plan of the division of other states as a means of offsetting the political advantages which the Dakota scheme.would in sure to the Republicans. It has been suggested that Texas might be divided into four states; that Cali- fornia might be cut in two, and that several of the Southern states be- sides Texas are large enough and have a sufficient population to admit of division. The division of Dakota, should it be accomplished; would establish a precedent that might lead to no end of rivalry between the two great political parties in the way of state-making, and thus open the their zeal for increased representa- | tion in Congress and in the electoral | college may lead —K.

Chicago, Dec. 12.—The passen- } ger rate war between the Northwest- ern roads, which began at St. Paul Monday, was taken up here yester- | day by the St. Paul and the Wiscon- | sin Central, when the rate to St. Paul was cut from $6.50 to $6 for; second class tickets.

And the unprecedented circula- tion of the magazine would seem to be the response of the public to this intention. With the November number The Century begins its thirty-seventh volume. which are throughout the ne’ ume are known to the public, the Lincoln history and the papers on “Siberia and the Exile System.” | first of these, written by | Messrs.
