The Indian Campaign,

FARGO, ID. r., Sept. 4.-Col. Pho

of the Chicago Tribune, arrived here
this morning, having left Terry's
command near Glendine on the Vel

to Bismarck in yawl boat. Crook
had taken his command and started
back to Nebraska, intending to swing
around by the Black Hills. General
Terry will be some time i'm forward

post on the Yellowstone. No hostile
Indians have been seen or heard of
since August 9th. The campaign

ST. PAUL, Sept. A Pioneer Press
special, dated North Bank of the Vel

d. t., Sept. 4th, says the latest intelli-
gence received concerning the move
ments of the Indians leads to the be-
lief that Sitting Bulls band of Unc-
papas are trying to cross the Yellow
stone and reach their proper hunting
grounds, on the Dry Fork of the Mis-
souri,. Acting on this belief, General
Terry has divided his command, Gen.
Crook with his column moving east

lowing the trail leading from Rose
bud while Gen. Terry with the Da-
kota column has crossed the Yellow
stone and marched north and east to
cut off any parties coming toward

battalion of the Twenty-sccond are
designated as the infantry garrison of
the new post. to be built ut the mouth
of Tongue river, and the Lieutenant
General has directed that these troops

AQueer Religious Sect Murder a
Man

ST. LoUIs, Sept. 2.-Atrocities com
mitted by religious sect called
Cobbites, located at Gum Spring,
Ark, are published. An old man
named Cobb rules the community,
who regard him as Jesus and obey
him accordingly. The singular nois-
es there attra ctcd the investigation
of {. ID. Humphrey, of Searcy, and
Blake, of Ell Paso, who visiting the
locality and hearing sounds from his
hut were invited by a man named
Dover, to enter and see God. They
lighted from their buggy when the
CObbites seized them. Blake cscap-
ed but at distance of hundred
yards locked back and saw the men
cut Humphreys to pieces with long
knives. He fastened to town, re-
ported the case, and party of citi-
zens AT once started for the scene of
the murder. On arriving at the
Springs they found Humphreys be-
ing killed, his head cut of and stuck
on a fence paling. A boy riding by
had been compelled to get off his
horse, bow to the head three times
an d utter prayer.
A parley ensued, in which the citi-
zens were ordered to leave. Dover
and his crowd advanced on Black and
his party in menacing manner, and
the latter fired upon them, killing
two men and wounding another. The
four men, four women, and
two children, were arrested and taken
to Jail. Other Cobbitcs were also ar
rested and taken to Searcy. There
was great excitement among the peo-
pie. Next day preliminary exami-
nation was held. and all the parties
released. They talked incessantly
about their religion,and there seemed
little doubt but that they were all
crazy from the effects Of religious ex-
citement and starvation.

THE Chicago Times has found a
maresnest. 1t pretends to have dis
covered that Governor Hayes has
not for years listed for taxation his
property in full, or rather at its full
value. This, of course, is weak at
tempt to counteract the Tilden income
tax business.
No evidence is furnished in the
Times story, except the naked, un-
supported statement Of its reporter,
and such a statement from such a
source, does not even raise a sus-
picion against man like Hayes.
The Times can rest assured that if
such an apparent case of fraud is
made out against Hayes as appears
against Tilden, by Tilden's own evil
dence, then the republican national
committee wont be long in taking
him off the track.

How Electricity Travels.

How long does It take to transmit message through
the Atlantic cable? The New York Journal Of Com
erce has been investigating this question, and sim
pie as it looks at first sight, there many singular
and interesting points in the answer. When the elec-
tricy is applied to the cable at end, two.enths
Of second pass before any effect is felt at the other
end and three seconds are consumed before the full
force of the current is In action. The first signal is
felt in forenths of second, but the following ones
go through more rapidly. As many seventeen word
have been sent over the Atlantic cable in minute
fifteen can usually be sent under PRESSURE and twelve
words a minute is good working rate. Messages of
twelve words have been sent ell the way from New
York to London in two minutes. tact not yet ex-
planned by the scientists is that the electricity does
not move rapidly from New York to London as i'm
the opposite direction.

is not old time democracy or rcpub-

against the North. 1t is to fight for
those principles of government which
were established by the final victory
of the revolution and maintained by
the republican party during the re-

WILLIAM d. KELLEY has written a
letter to T. B. Buchanan, of Indian
apolis, giving the reason why he pro-
poses to go to Indiana to make speech
cs for Hayes and Wheeler. His rea-
son is that he believes that currency
reform may be more safely entrusted
to Hayes and Wheeler than to the
democratic party. lie says that Con-
gress has been in session eight
months, and the democrats, although
controlling the House, took no steps
for currency reform. He regards the
intent of the democratic party, there
fore, as treacherous, and that, with
fair promises, they mean to put still

LONDON, Sept. 5.-Thc bulk of the
Servian army is at Belgrade and
Alexinatz is held only by small
force which the Turks will not hcsi-
tate to leave in the rear in case opera
tions are not suspended shortly. The
march Of the Turks upon Kruvatz
would render Belgrade untenable,
and the Servian army is in no condi-
ton to fight the Turks on equal
terms. Despite the attempt to dimin-
ish the importance of Fridays battle,
it was undoubtedly total and disas-

The Chicago Times having tried to

thus pinned down by the New York
Times:
Does tha Chicago Times profess to
believe that in any year between 1862
snd 1871 inclusive, Mr.. Tilden paid
tax on oae-tenth of his income? Ifit
does, let It select any one of these
years, and we shall engage to prove
that ct no time during the ten years
In which the tax was levied did Mr..
Tilden pay tax ON even a 1.-THE of his
income. Our charges against the
Democratic candidate must be met by
facts, not by vague defamation or
empty bluster. Unfortunately for Mr..
