Fears of an Uprising in Southern 1e1"''
From all which can be learned ana
:; .eem. to come from = reliable source, grave
f..r. are entertained of = rising among the
.ontbern Indians in Texas, some 2,OO0 or
a ooO of whom are now encamped upon the
rorthern fork of the Red river, about 25 miles
from Fort Elliott. The report says that tn
Indians are now engaged in making grea
preparations for going upon the war-path !;
that they are very we'll armed, having been
provided at the agencies with the best weap-
ons the United States arsenals conld afford,
and that the inhabitants OF the cantonment
are in mortal fear OF an outbreak, the soldiers
stationed in that part Of Texas being now up.
on their way to join Crook in the Sioux coun-
try. There are few troops, it is true, at
Fort Elliott, but they could make but short
stand against the Indians who can muster
nearly 500 warriors. There has been feel
ing Of uneasiness prevalent tor some time,
and the impression seems to be that the worst
is absut to be realized, or that the Indians,
although seemingly inclined to be quiet, are
inrsality but waiting for an opportunity to
make an outbreak. The officer in command
a& Fort Reno has, however, received orders Ia
disarm the warriors, as they come in to draw
rations, 90 that If it is possible the uprising
may be prevented. ~.'. =
The Chicago Wheat Market.
The State of Illinois has assumed not
only to inspect the grain which passes through
Chicago, but to sit in judgment upon it in
such a way as to largely determine the price
At (which that grain shall be sold. 1t declares
through its appointed officers, that = parcel
Of wheat shall be classed or graded as reject.
ed when in the opinion OF its owner it is good
enough for No. 3, which sells at II cents pc,
bushel more than rejected. In like manner
it declares that given parcel of corn is No
2, when in the opinion Of the buyer that corr
is no better than rejected. And these de.
cisions are made not only on the property o
the citizens of that State, but on grain owned
by parties in Minnesota, in Massachusetts, in
New York, England or France. 1t is true
that the State Government has provided fol
an appeal from the decision of its immediate
ervants; but this very plan for appeal i.
,pen to the same radical objection-that the
State has no business to interfere in the mat.
ter, except when itself appealed to by eithe,
the buyer or the seller Of the property against
attempted wrong by the other party. Any.
thing beyond this is species OF paternal in
reference which less enlightened people
would characterize as despotism.

Another Death while Bathing.


a young man named August Hoch
was drowned in Clear Lake in Waseca Co.,
Minn., on the 18th inst, while bathing. He
and boy named Buncho were padding
around in a skif and had about got it full of
water when young Hoch jumped overheard.
AZ 10 could not swim, it is supposed that he
either thought the water was not deep or ex-
pected to catch hold of the boat. When he
rose to the surface after the plunge, the boat
va TOO mr. Of for him to reach it, and the
water was seven teet deep. He made frantic
efforts to save himself, but sank and was
drowned. The boy in the boat was so excited
that, combined with the unwieldly condition
Of the boat, he could do nothing toward res-
cue. Several parties were standing on the
shore, some of them undressed, but thev
made no efforts to save the mans life. The
body was found within an hour after the
drowning occurred.

of any negotiations OF this or any other
character No confidence can be placed in

not favoring the proposition OF the peaceable

Many who are suffering from the ef-
fects of the warm weather and are debilitat-
ed, are advised by physicians to take moder
ate amounts OF whisky two or three times
during the day. In little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
number Of "drinks," and in time become
confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will
not create thirst for Intoxicating liquors, and
whichis intended especially for the benefit OF
debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
Containing the juices ofmany medical herbs,
this preparation does not create an appetite
for the Intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
the elife-supporting properties otmany valuable
natural productions contained i'll it and we'll
known to medical men have a most strength
ening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arising from sickness, over exertion
or from any cause whatever, wine glass full
OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
tite for wholesome food. To all who are
about leaving their homes, we desire to say
that the excellent effects of DR.. Schenck's
seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
taken by those who are injuriously affected
by change Of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking Supply
Q, these safeguards along. For sale by all
Druggists.

The Missouri Bandits,

Speclal from Oeualla says Hobbs
Kerry, the train robber, twas brought here
from Bonneville to-day, and upon positive
assurance of entire immunity, made confess
sion regarding the robbery near Otterville.
He said those engaged in the affair were
Caleb Weller, Frank vnd Jesse James, Cole
and Bud Younger, Chas. Pitts, VIM. Chad
we'll and himself. He said Caleb Weller re-
ceived the jewelry that was stolen, but the
dispatch does not state how the remainder of
the money and property was divided. He Of
fered to guide the officers to place eighteen
miles south of Sedalia where they buried the
papers taken from the safes, and at last ac-
counts he and the officers had started on the
search. He confessed to other robberies COM
mittcd by this party, and said Caleb Weller
assisted in the robbery of the Huntington,
West Virginia, bank, and the Ell Paso stage
coach, and was present at the Gad's Hill,
Missouri, train robbery. The officers have
information that the Younger brothers were
in Gay county Monday, and that Chadwell

More Troops Asked For.
The President on the 11th sent the
following message to congress, and resolu-
ton in accordance with the request was at
once introduced:
TO the Senate and House OF Representatives.

the fifth Of August from Lieutenant General
Sheridan to General Sherman, letter of the
18th OF the present month from General Sher-
man TO the secretary of war, and letter from
the latter OF the same date to me, all setting
forth the probable needs of the army in con.
sequence of the existing hostilities. would
strongly urge upon congress the necessity Of
making some provision tor q contingency
which may arise during the vacation. fol
more troops in the Indian country than it is
now possible to send. Il would seem to me
to b much more economical and better to au-
thori2e an increase of the present cavalry
force by 800 privates, but if that is moi
deemed advisable, then that the President be
authorized to call out not exceeding five regi-
ments, one thousand strong each, OF volun.
teers, to serve for period not exceeding six
months. Should this latter. authority be
given, 1would not order out any volunteers
unless in my opinion, based upon reports
from the scene OF war, deemed It absolutely
necessary; and then only the smallest mum.

Although the early tslegrams were OF a much moro
pacific nature and represented more quiet and as
sured state Of feeling on the European bourses with
higher prices for consoIs, rentes and pubic funds,
stock market was disposed to yield an iota of
the strength which animated 1t for the last two
days Spectators having once obtained snun OF
'vilanous saltpetre'' we're in humor to be-
neve that tho whole matter might end in
mere fusilade OF paper pellets and it was not until
later adviccs were received with reports upon
The London Stock Exchange that armistce had been
agreed that the sparkle got out OF the market and
left 1t as dat the heeitaps in beer fagon. On the
long side the early birds tho catchcrs and

advance being from Il to per cent which retained
until the telegram considered unfavorabe received.
Although, like Cato's the voice OF the market was
atil Tor war; the prce list did back ur
ment, but expressed itself lowcr scale OF prices
which spread through the whole range Of active
stocks and particularly affected those which had been
strongest in the morning. Thus, nearly the whole
advance irtered away and the situation, not
inviting at the best became less the TALL OF gold

The shape Of reconstructed freight tariff and this

pear that the railroads in their orative capacity

The news was enough to tura the market upon,
however, and prices were quickly sent upon the up
