Many of the counties i'll the state
are beginning preparations for the
fall campaign. The citizens are at
work, de ermincd to make dcs-
perate fight with the enemy and TO
wrest from him the power he now
exercises over the fortunes and in
tercsts of our people. The enemy
begins to feel that our people are IN
earnest, and is shaping its plans to
defeat us. We of Madison county
have q great work before us. We
must lay hold of 1T and work with
an earnestness and a vim. We can
succeed if VIC begin right and pros
ecute the work earnestly. 1t will
n ever do to give up without stru g
eI,'. More desperate cases than
our.., hopes more torlorne, have
been won in times past, and there
is no reason why they should not
in this instance. Let the people IN
every heigbborhood and beat can
yass and clectionecr from this time
forward. Keep the ball in motion.
Keen the interest and excitement
up Let our enemies see that we
arc i'll ear. Jest, let them sec
that We are arc. used and determined.
We believe that the Radical MAORI
ty of two thous, nd in this county
can be overcome if our people make
up their minds that il shall, and will
devote them selves 10 tho work. Let
us know no such now as fail, but
press the fight III all a,arncstncss and
sincerity.

in regular session at the room of the
Board, No. 4 City Building, at o O'Clock,

Of the President, Mayor Johnston, he
being confined at home by sickness.
No less than fifteen petitions were pre-
sented to the Board, asking to have va
rious sewers, streets and grades re-
paired, to prevent damage to private
property during the present rainy
weather.
During the discussion of these matters
an old and almost defunct law was res
urrected by Engineer Halpin, that pre-
vented the Board from making any i'm
prOvements when the estimated cost
would exceed 500.
The Board fioundered and Topped
about on this question for considera-
BILE time, land, at one time, there seemed to
be danger CT abandoing all business and
coming to a dead halt, leaving the city
at the mercy of the elements. Finally
after much discussion the Board grace
fully slid around this question and pro-
ceeded to business without removing the
obstruction, which probably will cause
another disagreeable halt at some future
meeting. All bills not to exceed 500
we're authorized to be paid, the pay roll
to be approved, and all things amicably
adjusted.
After little miscellaneous business
the Board, upon motion, adjourned. y

WASHINGTON, August 2.-The same
difficulties that were met by Secretary

New declares that he will not remain in
the TreasMer's office unless he can con-
troll the appointment and removal of SUBJ

A Wonderful Faith and O Wonderful Cure.

There is, in all reasonability, here in
Washington an opportunity for test Of
the Tyndall prayer-guage. Mrs. Lamb,
the wife of Francis Lamb, a manufac-
turer of picture frames, residing at 1912
Fourteenth street, who for fourteen
years has been a bed-ridden and pro-
nounced iEcurable cripple, has been
raised to health and strength, as she
claims, by the hand of Divine Omnipo-
tence in answer to prayer. There can
be no doubt that Mrs. Lambs cure ap-
proaches the miraculous, for she had
long given up hopes Of any improvement
from human skill, and had dismissed her
physician. The nature of her aiiment
was the utter uselessness of her lower
limbs, and she has received treatment
from physicians of every school of prac-,
tice without benefit. Some time ago she
claims to have reached an undefnable
conviction that prayer, aud prayer alone,
would secure her relief, and became a
deyout Christian, placing her trus. and
reliance entirely in Him who soothes as
well as smites, and hourly invoked the,
blessing OF the Almighty upon herself,
that He in his own good time, would
send that relief which she believed could
come from Him. She. frequently had,
gatherings OF her friends abut her bed
side, and the one burden of all her sup
plication was her cure. About u week
ago she sent to the churches, and to the
Young Mems Christian Association, re-
quests for the aid of all Christians, and
the wish that her impotency might be
made subject OF special prayer. "A few
days afterward she expressed to lady
friend the faith that the prayers had
been effective, and would soon be an
swered. She claimed to teei new life in;
her limbs, and in a moment of inspira.
tion rose from her bed and walked
across the floor-the first steps she had
taken for fourteen years. She is now
improving rapidly; attended prayer
meeting last Thursday evening, when
were special thanks given for her cure,
and yesterday attended divine service
at Mount Zion Methodist Church,

ans at Big Horn, but, being delayed in
starting, the Indians arrived first and
were attacked by the Sioux, with the
result.
A letter was received yesterday from
one of Pease's party, dated mouth Of
Saltwater, June 20, containing news
that second boathad been snagged and
sunk and the entire load lost, consisting
of provisions, clothing, bedding, six
ammunition. OF the three boat loads
with which he started but one remains.
The first one lost was near the agency.
The latter also states that many of the
men are barefooted, have little
clothing and bedding, and that the sup
ply of provisions Is getting low; that
they intend to continue down the river.
They have not seen any Indians. No
mention is made OF the fight between
Crows and Sioux.
The fact has been recently revealed by
the local press and the Baltimore Ca
zette that a short time since three pa
tients in the Government hospital for
the insane, located in the District of Co
lumbia, were taken by the direction Of
the superintendent and conveyed to a
point in Maryland, remote from habita-
tion, and there turned loose in the woods
at night.
DR.. Nichols attempted to excuse the
action on the grounds that the patients
belonged to the State of Maryland, and
were not properly admissible to the hos
pital. There is good authority for the
statement that a similar course has been
pursued in relation to lunatics from
other States, and that they have been
taken to the cars and directed to the
point nearest their supposed residence,
and that upon nearing the place their
escort would leave the cars and take
return ticket tor Washington, the lu-
natic being abandoned to whatever fate
might befall him or her.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has di-
rected the Assistant Treasurer at New
York to sell $4,000, 900 gold coin during
600 on the first and third Thursdays
each, and $1,000,0O0 on the second and
fourth Thursdays each.

unprecedented in the history Of the
