HE PIUTE PRINCESS. case in
Judge Davis Court against Sarah VIM
nemucca, the Piute Princess, for as
Sault with intent to do great bodily
harm' was after several adjournments
finally dismissed upon motion of the
District Attorney Saturday afternoon.
IL promised to be quite interesting if
prosecuted, as the attorney for the de-
tense, M. ). Bonnifeld, had dozen or
more witnesses subpenaed, among them
two or three M. DIS and as manv
prominent church members. What he
expected to prove by this array of wit
nesses has so far remained, and prob
ably always will remain, a mystery
to the public. 1t was shown on the
examination that the knife by which
the cutting was alleged to have been
done by the Princess was the smallest
sized penknife, and it has been pre-
sented to Professor Stewart for exbi-
oitlon at the Centennial. Upon being
discharged from custody by order of
the Court the Princess was enthusiast
tically received by her subjects, male
and female, large number of whom
awaited the result of the examination
outside the Courtroom. Naches de-
llvered long address to the dusky as
semblage, after which Sarah delivered
what was taken for granted as an APP
propriate address, at the close of which
the bucks and squaws. scattered t hunt
for amuck, vulgarly called grub.

A CARD,

Eiitor Register:
1t is reported that certain interested
parties are representing me to be in the
interest of the railroad, and to prove their
position they refer to the transfer of the
county stock in the railroad for one dol
lar. Please allow me to make a state
ment of the facts in the case as remem-
Der them.
When the railroad was finished to Gar
nett Mr.. Kalloch came to lola, called a
mass meeting and after stating the case
to this very large meeting he offered a
resolution setting forth that the county
commissioners be instructed to deliver
the bonds of the county to the railroad
company at nominal price, when the
company should have completed their
road to the south line of the county.
This resolution carried by unanimous
vote.
Mr.. KaIloch went from here to Hum
bold, where he had very large meeting,
and the same resolution carried with but
two negative votes. In accordance with
and on account of these instructions,
which represented large majority of
the voters of the county. the commits
sioners did agree to deliver the bonds to
the railroad company on the conditions
asked.
The delivery of the bonds when the
road WAS only completed to the nor,l,
line of the county, contrary to all agree
ments, was connected and carried into
effect after the expiration Of my term of
office, when new board had taken charge
Of county affairs. J. l.. ARNOLD.

The State Government and the Indian
Eu.eal.

We are in receipt of 4 pamphlet of 6S
pages from the State Printing House of
Kansas. 1t contains all the correspon-
dence between the Executive of Kansas
and the Secretary of the Interior relative
to the Usage Indian troubles in the sum-
mer of 1874 and the evidence taken in
relation thereto, and the last letter of
Governor Osborn to the Secretary, which
we published on the 18th of September
We have from time to time, since the
trouble first originated, published nearly
everything which appears in this pam
phleu except the report of Capt. Ham
back and the evidence taken by him in
August last. Our mind has been clear
for sometime that the position taken by
State has been the correct one. This
pamphlet brings the whole matter to-
gether in a clear and distinct manner
and is timely publication. 1t seems to
us that no one can read it, with an IN
prejudiced mind, without coming to the
conclusion that we have. 1t is under
stood by our readers that the Indian
Department takes the position that the
Indians killed were murdered and the
property taken was stolen by an unau-
tlorized band of men, and that the State
of Kansas should pay the Indians quite
II sum of money for the alleged murder
and robbery. The Indian department
has given notice also that it would apply
to the next Congress for an appropriation
to pay the amount demanded. The State
takes the position that the Indians we're
off their reservation, and within Kansas
committing murder and depredations,
and that it was the duty of the Execu-
tive to do just what was done. This
pamphlet brings the whole controversy
before the people and will probably be
laid before members of Congress- next
winter. The people Of Kansas will sus-
tain the executive in what he has done.
The government of the United States
must learn that the people of this State
will not submit to the horrors of an In.
dian war without protecting itself, if the
federal government does not do its duty.
No red tape will be allowed to stand in
the wav of protecting our people from
the Indians Commonwealth.

SEVEN State elections take place on
the 81 of November, viz. New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, Maryland,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mississippi, and in
most of them the contest is exciting. In
Pennsylvania the issue is similar to what
it was in Ohio, the Democrats demand
ing shat the volume of currency::be made
and kept equal to the wants of trade"
In all of the other States the platforms
Of the two parties are about the same on
the currency question, hence it is to
Pennsylvania that the people through
out the country look with the greatest
interest, for if Pennsylvania like Ohio
pronounces against imitation it decides
that question so that in the approaching
Presidential! campaign neither party will
declare in favor of increasing the cu.ren-
cy to the wants of trade.

We are indebted to the political shysters
and lobbyists ofthat locality for the only
leprous spots or civil service stains that
blur the escutchen of the Democratic
party. They will yet find that they have
not advanced their schemes much by ex-
posing the ethics OF New York politics in

Scratching.

We do not claim that one has not the
right to scratch his ticket. We have
exercised that right ourselves. Nomi.
nees have the right to ask that each voter
shall faithfully aad impartially examine
and decide upon the reason for support
ing them, and not scratch his ticket
without good reason. When Repub-
lican chooses to scratch his ticket and
thinks he has god reason for so doing,
no one has the tight to find fault. But
it is to be hoped that there will be no
scratching done for mere spite or for any
equally reprehensible motive.-Eureka

work. 1t is your duty to develop the
powers within yOu-not because you fear
you may sometime come to want-but
because you wish to do some particular
thing which you feel you can do best.
Your powers are your own; not for mon
ey, not for position, but to employ your
powers in the direction To which you
feel most strongly inclined. For heav=
ems sake do something?
