A COUNTERFEIT fifty-cent coin is in
circulation, which is very clever imita'
ton, and we'll calculated to deceive.
The characteristics by which it may be
detected are its lightpess, deadness Of
sound, imperfect milling and coarse work
near the edge, especially on the face bear

A FEW months ago Bristow was held
up by the Democratic press as model
statesman, a great and good man. But
he persists in supporting Hayes and
Wheeler and is making it hot for the
Democrats in Indiana, and now these
journals that once admired him use all
the epithets with which the average
Democratic editor is familiar when they
have occasion to mention his name.

nous horse Ten Brock beat the fastest
time on record, running four miles in

BUI DING, FENCING
AND FUEL

4 One of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains Of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half a mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing reasonable supply for all prac.
tical purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel.
oped as the wants Of the county require.
For building and fencing stone Of an
excellent quality abOunds in many local.

little with the cultivation of the soil.

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is veil
suited TO all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-
mirably, and particularly the last. The
inexhaustable supply of native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser q most inviting field, and
makes this one OF the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.

How We Treat Our Indian Friends.

Generals Gibbon and Brisbin place great
reliance upon the fidelity and courage Of the
Crowsxthe most honorable and loyal tribe
of Indians the government has upon it's
pension rolls. And yet these same Crows
have been worse treated than any west of
the Missouri. Captain Ed. Ball, of the
Second Cavalry, has been inspector of gov
eminent supplies for the Crow agency, and
he tells q sad tale OF the perfidy of the an.
pointees of the peace commission. About
two weeks ago delegation OF Crows made
its way through Sitting Bull's lines and in
tercepted General GIbbOn. The Indians
came, they said, to beg food, as they were
starving on the reservation. And this, too,
in the face of the fact that an unexpended
bslsnce of $4,000 was then, and had been
for some time, in the hands OF the agent
Captain Ball says the agent, Dexter
Clapp, sent Nelson Storey, the contractor,
to him, in April, with proposition to pass
q list Of worthless stores without inspection,
and they (CIapp and Dexterl would make it
all right with him (Ball). The brave old
soldier, who has been in the service twenty
six years, and who has worked his way up
from the ranks, Indignantly spurned the
bride; and now, because they can not be
robbed, the harmless and inoffensive Crows
are starved! Generals Terry, Gibbon and
Brisbin are fast solving the Indian ques-
ton. To day, with an armed force, they
are after the blood of the hostile Sioux,
while at the same time, in their Utmost
souls. they believe the scslps of the rascally
contractors and agents would be q far more
acceptable Offering to the American peO-
ple.-Co'respondence Chicago Tribune.
