that this society is retarding their pro-
gress in civilization and christianity, re-
garding it as dangerous to peace and
good order. They claim it TO be part
of their religion; the teaching. though
verbal, is to them what the Bible is to
us. They do not seem disposed to give
it up as yet; some of them promise to
consider it. 1t is understood that all the
chiefs and many of fthe head men belong
to this Band. At close of this council
with the chiefs they were notified that
we were about to hold council with
the young men and requested that they
should not be present.
About one hundred and fifty of the
other members of the tribe were at an
adjoining school house waiting our ar
rival. We had very satisfactory in
terview with them. They informed US
that they wished to form themselves in
to civilized bands to promote their
growth and civilization, and become law
and order abiding citizens. They said
they were not satisfied with their pres
ent chiefs, believing that the course they
pursued prevented their progress.

some excitement on account of the late
murder which had now subsided.
Superintendent Janney held coun-
Gil with the chiefs of this tribe, apprised
them oft Excitement that had existed
among the white settlers on account of
the murder that had just been commit
ted, and severely reprimanded them for
attempting to screen the accused from a
proper examination. They seemed very
penitent, took the admonition kindly,
and expressed themselves very desirous
that we should use our influence to have
them remain on their present lands.
They entreated us to use our endeavors
with the Government to obtain assis-
tance to enable them to build houses,
procure teams and farm implements,
that they might imprr We their present
condition and live like their white
brothers. '4 81 Lay tf p 81

The saying that two heads are better
than one is now proved. 1t is stated
that an enterprisins person has offered
$4,000 for the Morrow county child that
was born witha head at each end. The
comprsh ensive reformer Of Hines
Quarterly, who holds that all slaughter
of the human race is beneficial to the
world, must allow that here is a variety
worth propagating. It is possible that
an increased supply might reduce the
market price; but Slo. 600 affords wide
margin before reaching the mark at
which dispatching them becomes a
benefit. And as they are eheapened
their uses may be increased. 1t is a
pity that 30 valuable a product could
not be propagated:, We suppose that a
protective duty of $50 per cent, would
do it; for we learn that it will start pro-
duction where before there was none,
and will reduce the price below that of
the same product ofthe pauper labor of
Europe. ssslf stb3ri1sef $50 jaat.

WEATHER WARNINGs.-The British
Board of Trade has published, for the
benefit of seafaring men, the following
remarks on the appearance of the sky !:
A rosy sunset presages fair weather, and
bright yellowish sky in. the evening
indicates wind, and pale yellow, wet
weather. A neutral gray isa favorable
sign in the evening, and an unfayorable
one in the morning. If the forms of
the clouds are soft, underlined and feath-
cry, the weather will be fine; but if the
edges are hard, sharp and well-defined,
it will be foul. Any deep unusual lines
bounding the clouds betoken wind or
rain, while quiet and delicate tints be-
speak fair weather. ~

A Balloon Battle.

The following extraordip ary state.
ment appeared in Belgian paper called
the Nouvelles du Jour, from one of the
spondents at the seat of war, which
note was conveyed to Brussels by q
carrier pigeon: 'si sti &. rg .f
PARIS, OCF. 1.-Nadar returned yes
terday to Paris. His return was not af-
fected without much trouble, although
his balloon was favored with good winds
since his departure from Tours. But
will II narrate the facts in their chronolo-
gical order. He left Tours at six o'clock
on the morning, and the bold aeronsut
arrived in view of Paris at IL o'clock,
floating about 5000 metres above fort OF
Charenton. AT the same time as the
intrepid-which was the name of Ma
dar's balloon-sppeared, ses ond bal
loon was observed In the horizon. Nadar
was seen to display streamer with the
Fench national colors. Immediately
another national flag fioated from the
car ofthe other balloon. Vigorous hur-
rahs and cries of 'C'est Durofl' proceed
ed from the garrison of the fort, greeted
the appearance of the two aeronauts,
whose balloons gradually approached.
When they-wer within short distance
of each other, suddenly loud report
as heard in the air, followed by a series
of explosions, These were at first
thought to be demonstrations or signals
of victory, until Nadar was seen to fling
himself into the network Of his balloon
and to cling to- Its sides. During this
time the other aeronaut continued dis
charging shotsat Nadar, which were
traced in the sky, b. their luminous
effects The IHtrepid descended rapid
ly, and it appeaaed to the spectators be-
low that some incomprehensibles event
had taken place a ,ove. But mark the
French nsg in the neighboring balloon
had come to. 1t had been removed and
a black andyellow standard was observ-
ed to be f1oatingsin its place. Then all
was explained. = "Treason! It is Prus-
sian balloon! BE has fired on the Intre-
pids! Nadar TO- lost!' were the cries
that burst simultaneously from the
French people. But Nadar was safe;::for
he was seen to descend rapidly in his
car, and the balloon to nearly reach Il he
earth. He cast out the ballast, and re-
having stopped the hole made
in in his balloon by bis. adversary. Then
shots were rapidly fired from the Intre-
pide into the Prussian balloon, which
one, losing all power descended to earth
with giddy velocity. "A detaehment of
Uhlans were in the plan. and who had
been following the aerial combatants
throughout. the exciting struggle, rush.
ed forward, and, surrounding the bal
loon, received their champion-God
knows In what ateondition-and then all

A Notable Execution.

The Cleveland Herald notes the fact
that ever since 1910, until this year, In
electing Congressman for the second
half ofevery Presidential term Ohio has
invariably returned majority OF
members opposed to the then existing
Administration. The result was similar
in the nation at large, we believe, until
the Administration OF President Lin
coin. Ohio, as all remember, did badly,
in 1862. That stain is now wiped out.
The Herald well says:
= This year-the fatal year, with
all the embarassments that weigh down
a new administration, all that fearful
political load of official patronage, that
destroys but never builds up, an admin
istration-the Republican has whipped
the Democratic party. The Democracy
may say as did the boy accused of whist
ling in school, tit whistled ITSELF, and
perhaps it is fair to admit that Democ-
racy beat itself. But SO much greater
the defeat. .ss9 ..fi.s .4tiyl 4ttet
In the Democratic strongholds and
the close Congressional Districts the
Democrats worked like beavers-above
ground and under ground. Their best
stumpers croaked themselves hoarse,
their best liars out-lied the very devil,
and their meekest UIiah Heeps out
heeped themselves. But to no effect.
The Republican party has held it's own,
with chance of gain of one, Honor
is not lost to the vanquished when both
parties in fight show their best mettle.
But even honor is gone whom one party
turns tail and refuses to come to the
scratch. Democracy is dis gusted with
itself. ......... ......

IsIT ANOTHER cIyILwAR,

The wise men OF the East are fearfu
| that the November elections will result
| IN terrible riot in New York. There
is determination on the part of the
Administration to prevent fraud al
elections and interference with tt right
of electors. During the last session oi
Congress law was passed which gives
into the hands of the United States
Courts and their MarshaIs the superyi-
ions of elections. The Government has
fully resolved that this law shall not be
thrust aside, and will sustain it: though
hundred thousand bayonets, have to
be called upon to do it.R Governor
Hoffman, on the other hand, has de-
clared that the law is unconstitutional,
and every Marshal who obstruets the
polling of votes will he arrested, even if
the militia of the State must be called
out on his side. Here comes the old
doctrine of State Sovereignty again. We
should think that the lesson of the re-
belIion. h ID decided. that forever. 1t is
fitting that New York City should be
the place where the Second Rebellion
should originate, as Charleston, South
Carolina, was the source of the First. II
New York City will be as thoroughly
disinfected, sregenerated and purified as
Charleston waG, the war awilI have its
benefits. The two elements. the State
and the Nation, may come in eontaeton
the 18th of Novem berr but it, will be a
day long to be remembered In the histo-
ry of New York City. The howling
devils who infest the sink holes and
dens of infamy in, the poor quarters Of
the city, will feed Che cannon which
will sweep the streets. Maddened by
drink, and stimulated by the Democra
tic party leaders, they may make it a
scene Of terror like that which was
witnessed q. the burning of the asylums
during the war. ,la 5. 10 e1ns -lst %
The-Governmenta has the power to
itseleotions. E Gov. Hoffman
says no, and calling his decision final,
will call out the militia to enforce it.
Like the muddled Andrew johnson, a
former President of the United States,
he constitutes himself q full bench of
the Supreme Court, and pass upon all
the constitutionality of.all laws of Con-
gress.g; o..f roeI .qs4-,.ts e-itt
Bnt this constitution business is A
mere pretence. A cloak that covers the
real cause. 1t has been cried by the
Democracy as such since time and this
Republic began. The fact Ia that if the
laws are enforced in the wards of the
city of New York, the Democratic vote
will shrink into thin majorities,an the
State will be taken out of their hands.
The late census shows that in some
wards more Democratic votes were cast
than there were men, women and chill
dren in the wards. These frauds. have
been repeated a.every election for years,
and now the Government has taken
the matter into its hands and will pro-
tect all her citizens in their rights. 1t
is hoped that the Tammahy leaders
will submit to the law, ut ifnot, the
consequence will be upon their own
head.-Springfield Advertiser. x
