CAuTIoN.-W wish to caution users
of DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
against buying it in bulk. Unprincipled
dealers are mixing -four, cheap powder,
and other substances with it and selling
it as DIR Prices. Some too are filling
large cans that have DR.. Prices name on
them with common powder, and weighing
it out to customers as DR.. Prices. The
only safe way is to buy it in cans, and
to see that their trade marks, the words
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder, and
the hand and cornucopia are on the box.
Do not buy it if label is broken. Observe
this caution and we will warrant that you
will find DR.. Prices Powder to make the
highest, sweetest and healthiest bread, bis

CREEPING CLAY.-A peculiar kind of
clay is found in many places in our
mines, which is not little curious on
account of its creeping propensitles. A
stratum of this clay will crawl out into
tunnels and other openings in manner
much resembling the action OF the toy
known as Pharaoh's serpents. You can't
see where it is coming from or what
moves it, yet it is constantly crawling
out. In the drift which is being run
into the American Flat mine, at the
depth of $50 feet, they have a stratum OF
this clay. In order to keep the drift
open, 1t is necessary to keep one man
constantly engaged in cutting away the
clay rs it pushes itself into the drift.
This is not owing to the shaking and
swelling OF the exposed surface, as in
that case after few removals of the sur
plus material hole would be left. The
whole body Of clay appears to be creep
ing. 1t has the almost imperceptible
motion of the glacier, and, like the
glacier, irresistibly advances, smashing
everything in the shape of timbers that
may be placed in the way. The cause Of
this creeping is probably to be found in
the pressure of the superintendent or
surrounding strata of rock. Its motion
is not unlike that seen during the
Strengthening out of piece of pitch
which has been compressed. There ap-
pears to be limit to this creeping of the
clay, but it is not reached until many
feet have crept out into the drift, tunnel,
shaft or chamber, and been cut off and
removed. Its action is so mysterious
that some of the miners are ready to ex.
plain it by simply saying that it is be-
cause mature abhors vacuum II
left to its own course it would very soon
close drift, tunnel or other opening so
completely that no one could see that an
opening had ever been made in it; in
deed, thousands of feet of drifts and tun-
nels in our mines are now SO closed. In
the Caledonia mine much trouble was
experienced with this creeping clay.
We have heard of streak of it two or
three feet in width rising up in the floor
of tunnel until over thirty feet had
come up and been cut off. 1t is bad any
where, but is most mischieyous in main
shafts. For this reason mining men al
ways seek spot, in which to put down
such shafts, where they are likely to
have solid country rock rock outside
the vein) to great dept below the sur
face. The sad experience Of early days
taught them the lesson.

Eastern DISPATCHES.

New YORK. Sept. 2.-Rev. DR.. Leonard
Bacon contributes paper to the indie
pendent on the Beecher scandal, which
is mainly devoted to an attack on Moul-
ton and the role he has enacted in the
matter of mutual friend. He argues
that whether Beecher or Moulton's
story be true, the latter is left
in most unenviable position.
Beecher charges him with having
been for years the chief actor in a
base conspiracy. He, himself, tells a
story that is very dishonorable to his
own discretion, and not credible, all
things considered. The conspiracy was
to ruin Beecher and his family by false
charges; but if Beecher's story be untrue
Moulton still appears by his own story,
to have been engaged in conspiracy to
cover up and compromise foul wrong
against society, and to conceal crime
which ought to have been exposed and
punished. The writer asks il Beecher's
charge does not necessarily bring his &C.
cuser before jury; and concludes as
follows: Doubtless it is the hope of
countless multitudes in this and other
lands, that Beecher will be triumphantly
vindicated, and they are praying that he
may be; but they are not praying or hop
ing that if he is guilty be may escape
detection. Having long honored him as
a good man, they believe he is innocent
of the wickedness imputed to him, and
they will continue to think SO until he
shall be proven guilty. In that belief
they are praying that his innocence may
be made manifest, and that those who
have conspired to destroy him may be
COMPOUNDED. Beecher's friends do not
claim for him immunity in any wicked
ness. Moulton may do so, but be is not
counted among Beechers friends.

New YORK, August 90 Frank Moul.
ton prints caro- to-day stating that lie
notified the Beecher committee that he
was ready to be cross-examined at any

of his offer, and consequently he went
to Plymouth Church last night, having
right there as member of the congre-
cation, and his wife being a member of
the church. After hearing the misrepre-
sensations in their report, he sent a note
to the moderator, requesting to be heard,
but was not permitted. Moulton says
he has in his possession a letter from
Beecher, stating that Raymond. who made
the attack on him (Moulton) last night,
knows nothing about the case, although
Raymond himself publicly stated last
night that he knew all about it. Moul.
ton says he will have all the letters
printed and concludes his card as fol-
lows 81 have sought for four years for
the sake of the innocent childred of two

COLUMBUS, Ga, Aug. 2S.-The negroes
at Woocochee, Ala, have been holding
secret meetings for several nights. pre-
paratory to attacking the whites. Their
plan was revealed yesterday by an old
negro woman in time for the whites to
prepare. When the negroes made an at
tack they were driven off with loss of
four men killed. They then burned
down two churches and left.
From tho above telegram we find some
indication of the causes that led to the
transmission to Washington of the tele-
grams relative to the condition of Ala
hama, published yesterday. 1t may be
that infamed by the evil counsels of the
meanest, worst men on earth, the white
carpet-bagger, the deluded negroes have
made such attacks OH the white popula-
ton as to cause reprisals. We, however,
are not more inclined to give credence to
the above telegram than We were to
those published yesterday. We have
more confidence in the forbearance, for
titude and magnanimity of the white
population of the South. We know that
for years and years they have been the
victims of every imaginable wrong; but
so far, these injuries have been borne
with patience and firmness, and now, at
the eleventh hour, we think it is scarce
ly probable that their fortitude and good
sense should have simultaneously de-
serted them, and in frenzy Of despair
commenced the commission of outrages
that would close the mouths of their de-
tenders and ALLEVIATE their warmest
friends. Until the truth or falsity of the
intelligence referred to is established,
we think we are justified in refusing to
believe it authentic, because Congress
man Hayes confirm it. Carpet bag rep
resentatives like he is are never known
to speak the truth on such subjects if
they possibly can avoid it.

PRospEcrs at the Ophir mine are re-
ported as being very favorable. The
north winze from cross-cut No. 2, on the
1300-foot level, is in fine ore, which has
shown steady improvement in the
quality for the past four days, average
assays running as high as $500 per ton.
The ore in the south up raise in the 1895
foot level is OF a very rich quality. The
new raise in the east drift on the 1896
foot level has also struck splendid ore.
Both the north and south ore slopes on
this level have opened into exceedingly
rich sulphuret ore, in much of which the
free gold is plainly visible. These
bodies of ore are not only rich. but

THE INDIANS.

The danger of general Indian war.
which short time since was thought
imminent, is to some extent removed.
The savages finding that vigorous prep
arations were being made to defeat and
punish them, have made overtures for
peace and evince desire to return to
their reservations. What q commentary
this sudden and satisfactory change al
fords on the idiotic management OF such
matters by the Peace Commissioners of
the Indian Bureau. Those well mean
ing. but mischievous lunatics, would
have been all this time preaching and
parlying, while the redskins would have
been busily engaged in killing men,
women and children with unnameable
fortunes. Sheridan and Custer did not
propose to have any talk with the In.
dams. All the arguments those COM
manders intended to use were comprised
in the short, but eloquent vocabulary, of
sharp steel and swift flying lead. The
reasoning of these weapons has proved
sufficiently conclusive as to convince
these thick headed, Infatuated, bloody
minded savages. This speaks volumes
in favor of the continued and judicious
use Of such potent means of pursuasion.
We trust that the events Of the last few
weeks will convince a large majority of
the public that the miserable driveilers
who pretended to rule the Indians by
any means but the strong hand, are even
more dangerous and wicked than their
savage allies. On the score of humanity,
of justice and affording proper protec-
ton to the settlers on the frontier, the
imperative control Of military authority
is found to be far the best. When once
the bsrbarous tribes that infest the West
ern plains, find that indulgence in their
favorite amusements Of murder and rob-
berry will bring upon them instant and
severe chastisenent, then, and not till
then, will they endeavor to behave them
selves. To accomplish this desirable
end. the intelligent application of metal
lie cutting instruments and missiles, un-
der the supervision of such physicians as
Sheridan and Custer, will rapidly, safely
and satisfactorily solve the problem Of
how to manage the Indians.

A REVENUE TAKIFF.-Judging from
the tone of the many State and County
Conventions that are being held in vari.
GUS parts of the country, there seems to
be very general desire for the revision
Of the tariff. The people are getting
tired Of paying taxes for the purpose Of
enabling the iron, wool and cotton manu-
facturers of the North to rapidly be.
come millionaires. This feeling is being
shown at both the Republican and Dem
cratic Conventions of the West and
South, who, if they agree in nothing
else, are united in their declarations that
a tariff for revenue purposes is all that
should be tolerated.
