That Indian war is bound to
come. Already the savages have
taken possession Of the Cheyenne
sgency, and made prisoners Of
Major Randall ard his comrades.
OF course we must thrash the red
skins into obedience; but all the
trouble 81 killing them might have
been spared had the authorities
faithfully carried ont treaty OBJ
legations.

The State Fair.

From the New Iberia Times
make the following extracts 10 81
gard 70 the Fourth Louisiana State
Fair, held at New Orleans:
Whatevea FAULT fnders may sag
to the contrary, there Is no doubt
in our mind that the Fourth Louis
lana State Fair exceeded any held
ia this State since the war, ia point
of display, if not in pecuniary sue
cess. Unfortunately, the weather
was bad, most Of the time during
its continuance, SO that some days
the attendance was small; yet, at
times, the grounds and buildings
were crowded Internationally full
By the multitudes ofvisitors.
What interested planters most
was the fine display Of machinery
and agricultural implements. It
exceeded anything we ever saw be-
fore, and regret that we are not
sufficiently familiar with mechanics
to be able to do the subject justice.
We were gratifed to sec hundreds
of the citizens Of Attakapas pre-
sent, critically examining the
plows, cuitivators, engines, mills,
cotton gins, etc, and have no doubt
Ill will be we'll paid for their visit to
the Fair, by the knowledge gained
of labor-saving machinery.
Steinman's cotton worm extermi-
nator attracted much attention. lit
is a small machine, placed on two
wheels, and it is said one man and a
horse can pass over "from ten to
twenty-five acres per day, accord
ing to size Of machine, and COM
pletely destroy all theworms, with.
ont in the least iniuring the cotton. ;"
It is also claimed By its inventor
to destroy the egg, fly and other
insects" The machine has two
reservoirs, one of oil and the other
of water; and the latter is made to
boil by q small furnace underneath,
emitting steam through small pipes
in connection with the oil, both OF
which combined make yapor that
falls like dew on the rows on both
sides, Sand no worm will touch the
plants afterwards" Surely, this
invention deserves the earnest at
tention Of cotton planters-par
cularly as the whole machine only
costs about 1926.
There were on exhibition so
many kinds Of cotton gins and
presses, that it was difficult to
decide which we're the best; but we
will hereafter give the decisions Of
the committees.
The Peoples Loom, weaving two
pieces of cloth at the same time,
or about forty yardsin ten hours,
and the Morgan Loom, working as
well on single pieces, attracted
large crowds. They cost only $50
and 500, respectively, and will no
doubt be generally introduced into
the country. The Lamb knitting
machine astonished spectators by
making sock every fifteen min
utes

From tbe New Orleans Times 81
nc 28ib oslimo wo makp con
densed statement AZ tbe Richmond
Virginia, disaster, which occurred
on the morning 81 the 9th April.
II appears that . large crowd col
lecsed in the upper portion Of The
capitol building where the su-
preme Court Of Appeals Is located.
10 hear the discussion ia the case
Of Ellison and Gahoon in their
contest for the Msyorality. II
seema that abnnt / q. 10. the floor
gave waybeneath the dense weight,
precipitating the crowd to the floor
below, which was that Of the
House Of DELEGATES. Tie injuries
received created great excitement,
several being killed and a large
number injured. Many escaped
the terrible fall by jumping into
the windows when the floor gave
way. 1T is supposed that twenty
members Of the Legislature were
killed and wounded. About two
hundred persons were hurt by the
accident, and hundreds assembled
on Capital Square, weeping and
wailing as the dead and dying were
brought ont 81 the building.
Directly the disaster occurred,
the FIRE alarm was used to give
notice, a concord Of police was
drawn around the building, lad
ders thrown up to the windows,
and minute after minute there APP
peared, swung ont BY q rope tied
around The middle, the body Of
come popular faYorite, who, after
being swung on the shoulder Of
one of the fire brigade, mangled
and dead, were brought down the
ladder into the public park, when
it WAS instantly surrounded by two
or three thousand Of those who
had gathered to recognize the
slain. The park was full of weep
ing women and men, who remained
there until after the bodies Of the
dead were sent out. An the stores
III the city closed doors, and no
more business was done during
the day. AS many as three and
four bodiesin some Of the churches
were before the altar at the same
time, The newspaper Offices were
draped in mourning; the flags on
the capitol, the customhouse, the
public buildings, and on all the
vessels In the harbor, were at half
mast. Expressions Of sympathy
for the sufferers By the disaster,
accompanied by offers Of pecnniary
ala, were rendered from all quar-
tiers. The Illinois Constitutional
Convention adopted resolutions Of
regret at this sad calamity, and
had adjourned out Of respect to
the sufferers. AT fredericksburg
business houses closed doors, the
town bells were tolled an day, and
the INGREDIENTS were busily engaged
in arranging means TO raise funds
for the sufferers.

The Navy Department has re-
ceived all the papers pertaining to
the Oneida Bombay affair. Ad-
miral Porter SAYS, that after thor
ough investigation Of all the facts
in the case, the Department is led
to the belief that the Bombay was
solely and wholly to blame for the
accident. He repels the charge
that the officers Of the Oneida were
drunk md carousing in the cabin
at the time, leaving the deck in
