County Judge.
Our readers will see in this issue the
first announcement for County Judge.
Judge Wootten has filled the place for
two terms, and as everybody knows is
highly competent, takes thorough inter-
est in the performance ot the duties, and
is of most undoubted integrity. He is
courteous and just, and in the broadest
sense of the term, a gentleman.

The Xlains
Some our farmers thought the last week
rains not quite enough. On Tuesday last
at dawis commenced a heavy rain, contin-
ued at intervals during the day, and that
night, there was a heavy rain nearly all
night. We presume that every body has
enough for the present. We think that
there can be no doubt that the county will
make a large corn crop.
Advocate-
We have received No. 2, vol. 1st of the
Liberal League Advocate published at
Dallas, for the advocacy of the theories of
those who are not satisfied with the Bible
or with Christianity-
Smith & Hund
Have taken possession of the old Meth-
odist Church and Masonic lodge opposite
the Standard Office, and will use the
lower story as a carpenter shop, and
change the upper into an opera hall. The
building is large, and a better public hall
than we have had heretofore, can be made
ofthisbyerectinga stage and proscenium,
and placing chairs in the body of the hall,
rising to the rear. The room, of course
should have some decorative finish.

-Attorney General-
Several gentlemen ot conceded capaci-
ty are proposed for Attorney General ot
tlie State. It is very important to the
Sta<e that the office shall be well filled.
San Antonio proposes to elect the Hon,
J. II. McLeary of that city, a gentleman
who made a reputation for superior capac-
ity, in the Legislature, upou his first ses-
sion, although not especially talkative.
We have no doubt that he would fill the
office ably, and do his whole duty to the
State. The country west of the Colorado
seldom obtains recognition in our State
conventions, but should have proportion?

Eureka Spktngs, ?
May 20th, 188(1. \
yi>. Standard :—Mr. Reed and myself got
here oil the 15th all right. Found the road
much better than we expected. Found this
place much larger than we expected. It is a
novel city; only one street through it and that
is in the braucli. Some cross streets np and
down mountains, and only a few of these that
you can travel. Mountains high, and the
houses on the sides and top. Some are put on
the rocks on the upper sides, and posts on the
lower sides, fiom 5 to 15 feet high, to bring
them to a level; others dug in the bluff to
bring them level, pnd eaeli side is nearly as
high and they are one story houses. The
hills are full of houses, and those that are go-
ing up. Col. J. never saw anything to equal
it. 1 think, froiu what 1 see and have count-
ed, that there must be four or five hundred
new buildings going up. Some of them are
very good. Some ten or fifteen large hotel
buildings. Some have as many as thirty to
thirty-five roonw. There are a number of
small boarding houses. You can't look in
any direction without, seeing new houses go-
ing up. and the saw and hammer is all the go.
The Sp:ings are very good water, of no pe-
culiar taste. It is very pleasant to drink. The
Eureka Springs eoiue out of a high bluff of
rocks, in a small ravine. From morning till
i> o'clock at night, there is a rush with the
people to get water out ot the basin, a beauti
ful place, polished in the rock, the shape of a
large bowl and as smooth inside; a most sin-
gular lace. The line of people is some twen-
ty-live to fifty deep, craving for the water,
waiting their turns. After 9 o'clock at night,
they fill barrels for families and hotels. It is
the most orderly place 1 ever saw, to have so
many people, and from all parts of the United
States. Have not seen an intoxicated man. I
have seen and talked with a great many per-
sons who have come here, with all kinds of
diseases. Some are cured in a very short time,
and <>:hers take longer; and some have not
been benefitted any. But the majority say
they have been cured, are improving greatly.
I f;i\v one case—a lady came here the day be-
fore I came, who was paralyzed on one side,
and she could haully talk, and in - four days
she began to walk, and talk much plainer.
She improved so fast, that she and her hus
band left tor home yesterday. I send you a
paper showing a great many cures. I have
seen several of these persons named, and they
snv it is true in a great many cases. Some
are exaggerated. I would be pleased to hear
from you. Yours truly,
G. K. Cheatham.
Buffalo, May 22.—Peter Zimmer, of
Tort Washington, Wis., was arrested to-
day oti the charge of murdering his son
in Wisconsin. lie was ou his way to New
York to meet his intended wife coming
from Gennanv. Zimmer is eighty vears
old.
Taylor,
May 2J>th, 1880.
Ed. Standard:—Ilaviug seen an article in
your paper of date May I9tli in regard to
some Mormon trouble in this vicinity, charg-
ing members of other denominations writing
a letter of a bogus character, making threats
against one eo called elder Bozartli, who
claims to be an apostle direct from under the
plastic hands of Joseph Smith, Jr., requesting
him to leave in three days. Now as far as this
letter is concerned, other denominations know
nothing aliout it, and in fact the comniunity
in and around Taylor don't believe that any
outsider wrote it, and Mr. Piney is simply
mistaken, and I therefore, write this in behalf
of the members of other churches directly
around Taylor, as I am a member of the
Christian church at this place, and know that
it is false. Now Mr. Editor, please condense
this reply, and give it a space in your col-
umns as we think that this is justly due us.
Yours truly,
F. M. wnite.
Eureka Springs-
Our readers will all notice the letter of
Capt. Cheatham, from Eureka. From
two papers he sends us, we extract the
following items—
There were 50 arrivals registered at the
Mouutain House in two days.
The City Hotel turned off thirty visitors
for want of room, in one day this week.
Fifty-one wagons all containing fami-
lies, arrived by the Fayetteville road
Tuesday.
It is impossible to sur; y the demand
for lumber, though the do^n or more saw
mills in the vicinity are run uiglit aud
day. Some ot our contractors have goue
to the Barry county mills, down White
Kiver, to secure seasoned lumber.
Ten Creek Indians made their appear-
ance tit Eureka Springs last Wednesday.
Seven of them are girls—all came here
for their health.
Long Jim, one of the head men of the
famous Modoc tribe ot Iudians, accompa-
nied by his wife, Anna, are visiting the
Springs. Jim was one of the lava bed
warriors and has a natioual reputation
tor bravery. He is now nearly blind and
seeks our springs to be cured. Auua is
an intelligent and lady-like Indian.
Ed. Echo.—I send you herewith the
number of inhabitants ot our city, accord-
ing to the report of the marshal appoint-
ed for the purpose of taking the census.
Permanent residents, 5,209
Transient, 3,500
Total
8,701).
Kespectfiilly, yours,
E. liossoN, Mayor.
A citizen of Little Rock informs us that
over five hundred citizens of that city will
spend the summer at the Springs—start
ing by private conveyance about the 1st
of June.
A contract has been let to Mr. Davis, a
boss carpenter, to construct an $8,000 ho-
tel, just above the City Hotel, by a joint
stock company. Success to the enter-
prise.
People from the malarial districts of
the South and West are Hocking to the
Springs by the thousands. Our altitude
combiued with the renovating qualities of
the water, makes it a safe refuge during
the hot summer months.
From the Sliermuu Chronicle-J
THE MI&HTY WIND-
The Town of Savoy Torn into Shreds
Twenty Miles of Euin-
At ten o'clock last evening that most
mysterious and awtul ot phenomena, a
cyclone, struck the lovely little city of
Savoy, the second station east on the line
of Trans continental road from this city,
and with the rapidity of thought three-
fourths of the dwellings were shattered
into atoms. Capt. McKnight, whose re-
sidence stands in about the centre of the
towu stated to our reporter that he was
seated on his porch and noticed a fuuuel
shaped cloud, surcharged with fire lead-
ing the squadron of vapor in its rear com-
ing it; the direction of his house with a
noise like the heavy escape of steam. The
terrible truth all at once broke upon him
that most deadly of atmospheric disturb-
ances, a cyclone, was approachip 3. Spring
ing up to retreat into the hoiioC he was in
the fiery arms of the monster in a sccoud
and fell a§ though paralyzed. There is
one wide waste ot ruin for fully twenty
miles. As far as the eye can reach south
by west of the towu, the whole t.ice of the
country tor fully two hundred yards in
width is swept clean. The same sad sight
of wreck and disaster is unfurled to the
eye looking northeast. The movement of
the terrific body was of the most eccentric
character. The attention of its colossal
energies was most fickly bestowed. It
would pass one house tear to pieces an-
other one a few feet in advance of the first
aud retracing its path grasp the other
and whirl it through the air. Men, wo-
men and children, horses, cattle, hogs
dogs were whirled through the air aud
mingled withith the flying pieces of dwell-
ings. Chickens were found dead in all
parts of the town without a feather 011
them. House-hold furniture, stocks of
goods, the largest trees and whole houses
were blown in every direction. Every-
thing seemed as unresisting and yielded
as readily to it as a piece of tissue paper
blown by oue's breath. The sight of the
dead, dying and wou.ided, sickened every
heart, and brought a moau to the lips of
every one who escaped.
The school building and church have
been turned into a hospital and phy-
sicians from every town ou the road- anil
citizens volunteering as nurses, are on
hand to alleviate the suffering ot the dy
ing, and aid in the disposition of the
dead.
The following list, though doubtless in-
complete to some extent, is as near exact-
ly correct concerning the number ot kill-
ed and wounded as uuder the excitement
ot the occasion our reporter was able to
gather.
names of those killed outright:
Eurastus Andrews and infant child,
a young lady, daughter ot Tom Gallaher,
Doctor Curran, Tom Cox, Saui Gill, Miss
Pautha Johnson, Mattie Best, Alf. Home
and Wm. Suddeth. Besides the above
named, there were three other other par-
ties reported killed, whose names our re-
porter was unable to get.
The list of wouuded numbering 49, anil
on'y a portion of their names we were able
to get are as follows:
Mrs. Suddeth, Jessie Keame, Eva
Home, Gib Smith. WallieCuwan, Mrs.
Home, Mrs. Curran, the three children of
Mrs. Curran, Mr. Gallaher, five year old
daughter of Mrs. Gallaher, Ollard Home,
Robt. Gallahei, two infant children of
Robert Gallaher, Wm. Suddeth, Capt. S.
.1. McKnight. Mr. Jolley and son, Nat
Andrews, colored, Isac Ball, colored, Jen
nie Andrews Mrs. Holliday and a two
year old infant, Robt. Mackey, Jimmie
Mackey, Edna Mackey, Mr.'and Mrs.
Johnson and three children,, and many
others whose names we could not learn.
A subscription was takeu up 011 the
grounds from the visitors present, by
which about $350 was raised, aud it is ex-
pected that all the neighboring towns 011
the road will contribute in provisions,bed-
ding and money. The people are in a des-
titute condition, anil to give anything like
an adequate i«lea of the ravages would pu
beyond the powers ot speech to describe.
We are satisfied, however, that all that
money and genuine sympathy can do for
an unfortunate people, will lie done for
those who are truly iu sore, distress.
A Massacre of Miners-
Chicago, May 15.—The Times this
morning published a story from Leadville
told by John Allendorf to a reporter of
of that city regarding the the Ute Reser-
vation. Allendorf says that he lett liis
home in Linn county, Kas., several weeks
ago, v/ith seventeen others, equipped tor
an expedition in search of mineral, which
they found in the head waters of the C tin
nison River in rich placers, which yielded
from two to four thousand dollars perilay.
On May 3d. while the party was wldelv
scattered, Iudians mounted and five
hundred strong, galloped down upon th '
camp, and after massacreiug the whole
party, cut their bodies into pieces. Al-
lendorf witnessed the affair from a moun.
taiu whither he had gone hunting. The
Utes had carried off till the gold and the
whole outfit. Allendorf escaped and walk-
ed for several days until he reached a set-
tlement. He gives the following as the
names-of the murdered men: Charles aud
John Andrews, Ellis Morton, James Hen-
derson, John and Isac Dittmoje, Martin
Flemiug, Peter Ambcry, Fred and Louis
Suell, Edward Marion Phillip Jackson,
Josiah Warner, Jesse Jery, Adam Homar
and Julius Terry. Mr. Allendoaf confes-
ses that his story has been discredited by
the settlers to whom he told it, and who
attributed it to a disordered braiu.
Telegrams received at Leadville yester-
day report that men, coming from the re-
servation to Lake City, report a party of
twenty-five prospectors corralled in Gun-
nison and twelve killed. This is supposed
to be Bradbury's party, which left Del
Norte three weeks ago. Gen. MoKen zie's
column is 011 the way to the scene. A let-
ter from Saquache says the Utes are re-
ported to have killed twelve miners forty
miles west of that place, and troops from
Fort Garland are en route thither.
All these stories are subject to doubt and
cannot be verified until the, roads are in
better condition, but it is believed the In-
dians are making preparations for the
war path, aud stirring news is expected

Miss Belle Cooke aud Miss Anna Jew-
ett are matched to ride a twenty-mile race
in the saddle at the Minnesota Fair next
September, for $1,500 a side, with $7,000
added by the association. Here is a test
of endurance for the sex,and an example of
energy and tact ou the part of the Fair
Association.
A WOIID TO
CYNICS AND UNBELIEVERS.
We are sorry to say that there still ex-
ists a few of this class; aud as we have
their interests very much at heart, it is
our desire to brush away some of the cob-
webs of unbelief that still obscure their
vision as they gaze in our direction. We
earnestly invite the attendance of these
gentlemen this week to see our SECOND
BIG DRIVE in
CxROCERIES.
Not to buy a dollars worth of goods, but
simply to iuduce a permanent belief 111 the
fact that we never made an offer, 110 mat
ter how extraordinary IT MAY SEEM,
without backing it up to the rigid letter
of law. We want all of our worthy fellow
citizens who still waver between belief
and skepticism to
CALL ON IIS THIS WEEK.
We do not want your indorsement of
the facts set forth in our advertisement.
We make 110 claims on either your money
or good will unless we can earn them by
fair representations. It lias been our
good fortune witliiu the last week, to be-
come possessed of some good bargains in
Ooilfee, Sugar, Molasses,
Rice, Tobacco, Snuff,
Whiskey, Flour, Bacon,
Corn, Oats, Meal, Bran,
Lime, Shingles &c. The price
which we propose to sell these goods at,
will make some of the gentlemen who car-
ry assorted stocks open their eyes to the
full exteut allowed by nature, and cause
every true lover of pluck aud enterprise
to crv out BltAYO for

Kiive you ever seen an Oiljrraph
I presume you never even heard telf
of one, for very few people outside ol
New York City have ever heard of
t.liein aud less have had tlie pleasure
r seeing them, and I wish it under-
stood in the beginning that it is simply impossi-
ble, for me i.o so describe them in the few words I
shall say, so as to convey to yonr imagination, a
true and correct impression of these marvels of
modejn science and perfected art combiued, by
which 1 am enabled to oiler you a large, beauti-
ful and marvelously accurate representation of
yourself or friends at a cost of a mere pittance,
in comparison to what an oil painting by Unsold
process of painting on cauvass would cost you. I
cannot minutely describe the process by which
they are made, "tor it is only in a real artist's pow-
er to do that. I only know the outline of the
Oilgraph is made or rather enlarged to life size
by the modern improved Lens Camera, and thin
outline is tilled out and artistically finished iu
symmetrical proportions, and the delicate shades
of color bringing out that wonderftl Lifelike Ex-
pression of Countenance, so much observed and
admired in these Oilgraplis, is done by tlie skill-
ful hand, and genius of the artist. Now yonr es-
pecial attention is invited to the remarkable abil-
, ity our artist has, in painting the Human Eye,
which is said to be the truthful index of tli.. im-
mortal soul, audit is an undoubted fact that the
eye more clearly and faithfully indicates tho
character, passiot. and ability, of a man than all
the other features combined. I might mention
other points, but. it would be useless. For it is
only by seeing, that people will believe, and I
feel confident, they will scarcely lielieve until
they see them with their own eyes; that an old,
dingy, faded and imperfect, small pictnre, can be
changed into a large, handsome ard accurate
representation of the original being. Now I am
well aware there are people the same as mytelf,
suffering in their memory the loss or absence by
death, or distant removal of dear and cherished
friends, for which there is a silent longing which
language cannot express. Now to have a life
like representation in oil painting surely is
worth some self denial to procure, 1 would just
here say that Oilgraplis are painted on metalic
plates very similar to the old style of oil painting
011 canvass, but they are mo-.e durable, as they
will not fade or dry up, and crack like canvass
painting. The expense is r.uch less, being only
about, one quarter as much as painting 011 can-
vass.
deceased people
We make a specialty of doing everything possi
ble to make a line Oilgraph of people that are
dead, and when the original i° taken after death

and various other changes if required gioups,
