have all been arrested and are now safely
lodged in jail. The evidence elicited
during the court of inquiry on their com
mitment trial appeared clear and distinct,
and, from present appearances, it seems
altogether likely that these persons will
ere long have to pull at the end of a rope
and with but a feeble foot-hold.
1 aiso learn that the persons who were
engaged in the recent murder of Blevins
have been arrested, but I have not learn-
ed of the result of their commitment trial
There has recently been found the corpses
of two Cherokee Indians, who were, from
appearances, muidered, a few miles north
of the Blankmship grocery, on Red River.
The bodies of these Indians were dragged
off into the brush from the highway and
left unburied to become food for the rav-
enous wolves.
The schools of the Nation have all ex
pired, land there was a manifest feeling
of satisfaction amongst the friends of edu-
cation and progress, at the advancement
of the pupils of the several schools in the
Nation. Indeed, it has been remarked by
persons capable of judging, that no scho-
lastic year, since the first attempt at the
organization of schoolsin the Nation, has
been attended with more careful evidence
of a general improvement of the minds of
the youth of the Nation, than the scholas
tic year now ended.
The crops of the Nation are all that
could be desired atthis season of the year,
and if no untoward event transpires be
tween now and the gathering season there
will be bread stuff enough housed to do
the people many years.
The recent rains have caused very high
waters all over the Nation. The bridge
over the Washita River, in Pauls Valley
has been swept away by the high waters.
This is certainly a great loss to the trav-
eling community in that part of the Na-
tion. This bridge afforded the onlv safe
passage across the Washita River on the
road from Caddo to F”ort Sill.
Respectfully,
Veritas.

Munson’s Phonographic News for June
1st i6 to hand. This, the only periodical
in this country that is printed entirely in
shorthand characters, is not only a curi-
osity, but, to the initiated, very interest-
ing and instructive. Lindsiey’s imprac
licable system of “Tachygraphy” is re
viewed at length in this number. The
News is published twice a month at 34
Park Row, New York, by the author of
the Complete Phonographerand Diction-
ary of Practical Phonography, and, by
the way, one of the fastest and most ac-
curate law reporters in the United States.
Price, $2 a year; single copies 15 cents.
There are a few proprietory medicines
which even the medical faculty are forced
to recognize as valuable theroaeutic

ranks without doubt, Simmon’s Liver
Regulator, as put up by those celebrated

It is a standard remedy in this city and
vicinity, our druggists assuring us that it
has a larger sale than all other liver
remedies combined.

New Freight Tariff.
The officers of the M., K. Si T. Railway
have issued a circular to all agents, dated
the 5th inst, in which they say : “On
and after July 10th 1876, 20,000 pounds
of grain and produce will be considered a
car load. Proportionate rates will he
charged up to 21,000 pounds. For all
over this amount fourth class tariff rates
will be collected. They do not propose
to load over 24.000 pounds under any cir-
cumstances, and will weigh each car and
charge for excesses, as conditioned above.

Jacksboro, Texas,
July 5th, 1876.
Editor Daily News:
I still live, but the centennial is of the
past. Event* crowd, the centennial pre-
dominating. By the co-oporation ol nis
honor the Mayor, July 4th, 1876,was usher-
ed in by tingingot bells at midnight,after
which the alarmed inhabitants were giv-
en a respite until about 9 a. m., when a
procession was formed, with the nth In-
fantry band at the head, followed by ve-
hicles of every description, and a large
cavalcade of horsemen and some few pe-
destrians, which marched to a grove
about a mile north of town, where every-
thing had been prepared for the occasion,
and exercises took place in the following
order:
Prayer, by Rev. Mr. Jones; opening
hymn, by all; music, by band; remarks
and reading of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, by Prof. F. Moe; Music; ora-
tion, by Hon. J. R. Robinson; music.
Thos. F. West being called for here de-
livered an impromptu oration, which
was followed by singing of the doxology
and benediction, after which the barba-
cued'dinner was served up, the ladies and
children being first served, and then the
men, about one thousand people in all
partaking. The remarks of Prof. Moe
were appropriate to the occasion. The
oration of Hon. J. R. Robinson was elo-
quent and impressive, and the speech of
Mr. West was a pleasant and well deliv-
ered one.
Mr. West is a young lawyer from Vir-
ginia, and has but recently settled here,
and this, his first impromptu effort,
has made him many friends. The
dinner was all that could have been wish-
ed, both as to quality and quantity, and
any one going away hungry had only
themselves to blame. The selections
of music played by the band were most
appropriate and harmonious. Hail Co-
lumbia, Star Spangled Banner, Yankee
Doodle, Tramp, tramp.tramp the boys are
marching. Dixie, the Bonnie Blue Flag,
and Maryland my Maryland, when play-
ed by one ot the best bands in,the state,
cannot fail to please. After dinner a
matched game ot baseball was played by
the Una B. B- C. against a picked nine,
all belonging to the nth Infantry compa-
nies here stationed. At end of game the
score stood 22 to 17 in favor of the Unas.
Good playing was shown on both sides.
After the return to the city the band
gave us some more music, which closed
the performances for the time being.
About 8 p. m. the court house began
filling up with all who wished toenjoy the
pleasure of dancing, and music being fur-
nished by Prof. Barnes’ string band from
the post, dancing was indulged in up to a
late hour for this sedate burg. Young
and old, rich and poor, friends, acquain-
tances and strangers all here were made
to feel at home, both at the picnic and
the dance, and joy and harmony prevail-
ed. The ladies at the hall were dressed
with great taste, and it would be but im-
pertinent to particularize. Your corres-
pondent was honored with the pnyilege
ot dancing with several of them, and by
theii aid passed one of the most enjoya-
ble evenings in his short existence in this
vale of tears, for all of which he feels du-
ly gratified and would here say to one and
all connected with the celebration here,
he would express his sincere thanks for
the many kindnesses and courtesies re-
ceived at their hands, which have made
this holiday one ot most en-
joyable ones ever spent, the memories of
which will never be forgotten.
Tha Grangers held a celebration of
their own at Lost Val ley, at which about
five hundred people were present, and a
good time generally was had. Reading
of the Declaration by Judge Stoddard,
oration by Prof. Walker, and speeches by
Dr. Cornelius and Judge Stoddard, follow-
by a spledid dinner of Grang-
fare, and at night by a
dance at the house of Stanley
Cooper, Esq., a few miles from town.
During lastweek, while George Massey
and Geo. B. Loving were coming from
Cambridge to jacksboro, they were
caught in a heavy rain and in crossing
L'ttle Wichita drowned a span of horses,
and the two Georges were slightly moist-
ened. The livery man who owned the
horses now talks of advertising for a span
of web-footed horses especially for G. B.
L’s URe.
All the streams were tip higher last
week than ever known before. The last
news from Griffin reported the Clear Fork
up over the flats, Mr. Benedict’s nouse,
Mr Benedict himself, and a Mr. Spiller,
are reported drowned.
The Brazos carried away the telegraph
wire at the crossing, and did great
damage to crops.
Travelers all over the country who
have been water-bound are just now be-
ginning to resume their journeys.
At Fort Sill Indian Trader Smith's
store was flooded, Mr. Garveys’ place
was under water and some of his stock
drowned. Mr. Haworth's cattle pens and
weighing scales were under water.
A slight sensation was caused here on
the night of the 2nd inst. by the burning
of a cabin belonging to a colored woman
named Lucy Williams, while she was at
church. Most ot her household effects
were saved. As ever,
. . Sam.
FROM THE BLACK HILLS.
Interesting Report From a Hen*
Ison Man,
We are permitted to publish the follow-
ing extract from a private letter written
by George W. Huston to a gentleman in
this city The letter is dated Silverton,
San Juan county, Colorado, June 23,
1876:
I arrived here safely atter a hard and
fatiguing trip, mostly on foot, Jrom Del
Norte. At Carr’s Cabin, the other side of
the range, we abandontd our wagons, and
packed burros over the trail to this place.
I am mnch pleased with this vicinity
aud the general prospects are flattering.
To tell you the plain truth 1 find the
mines much more abundant, extensive
and productive than 1 expected, but the
great hindrance to their development is
the want of a wagon road over which the
necessary machinery to reduce the ores
may be transported.
This whole section seems to abound in
lodes, and the mineral generally is very
good, but without suitable machinery to
work them must remain comparatively
unproductive. It will take several years
to properly' open and develop this
country. I have decided to drive my
stake at this place. Next fall and winter
I expect to buy some mining interests
very low.
This i* the prettiest mountain town I
ever saw, and in a few years is certain to
become a city of considerable importance.
Already some Eastern capitalists are fig-
uring on the different proposed routes tor
a wagon road and I am satisfied that in
less than a vear a good and practicable
road will he opened.
1 could not consistently advise you or
any other friend of mine to come to this
country unless you had some money to
operate with. If you come here without
money you might accidently make a
“scratch” but if you have a little money
to operate with, there is rio question as to
your success.
Geocge says there is nn abundance of
single blanketed or pauper millionares in
that country. The first dance honse was
formally opened in Silverton the night
before he wrote. Melville, formally of
the M., K. Si T. R’y, has located *t Silver-
ton, has secured some good mines, and
is now in Philadelphia purchasing ma-
chinery for crushing ores. George thinks
seriously of entering the political arena
in the fall in pursuit of a lat county of-
fice.
Imported German vinegar at
Louis Lebreckt’s.
The Sedalia Bazoo of Monday devotes
nearly two pages loan interesting narra-
tion of the express robbery at Otterville,
including the statement of the watchman
at the bridge, whom the robbers compel-
led to signal the train to stop, that of the
engineer, baggagemaster, messenger and
Mr, James D. Brown, general passenger
agent, who was also on the train. It is
believed the Younger Brothers were
among the robbers, who numbered eight
in all. Gen. Montgomery is still after
the robbers with a large force but at last
accounts had lost their trail.
Ths Wsr Against Dlssass.
The war waged against disease by
Hostetter’s Stommach Bitters goes brave-
ly on. Dispatches are constantly re-
ceived from the cured indicating the
decisive nature of the advantages ob-
tained by the gieat botanic cordial over
its formidable adversary. Malarial fevers,
constipation, torpidity of the liver and
kidneys, general debility, nervousness
and rhenmatic ailments invariably yield
to this conquor and preventive of dis-
ease. For the infirmities incident to the
decline of life it is also an excellent
specific. It hastens convalescence and
repairs the ravages of iil health by facili-
tating the conversion of food into blood
of a rich and nourishing quality. The
appetite is improved by it, and in cases
of nervous disease it tranquilizes that
great sensorium, the brain, far more
effectually than any mineral sedative.

The Old Kei table.
At the old reliable wholesale liquor
house of Eppsteir Bros, is a complete
stock of cnoice wines of all kinds, bran-
dies and whiskies. This house still
makes a specialty of the old and popular
Kentucky whisky,which has had as teadily
increasing sale since the opening of the
house in the spring of 1S73. They also
keep a full line of Key West and Havana
cigars, as well as the best native brands.
Dyspepsia.
Americans are particularly subject to
this disease and its effects; such as sour
stomach, sick headache, habitual costive-
ness, heart burn, water brash, coming up
of the food, coated tongue, disagreeable
taste in the mouth, palpitation of the
heart anti all diseases of the stomach anti
liver. Two doses of Green’s August
Flower will relieve you at once, and
there positively is not a case in the Uni-
ted Stales it will not cure. If you doubt
this, go to your druggist, McKnight Si
Co., Denison, Texas, and get a samller
bottle for 10 cents and try it. Regular
size 75 cents.

planted by happiness, gloom by beauty,
