Another Battle. f,ii

BELGRADE, Sept. l2.-Ofiicial dis
patches say there was severe fighting
on Sunday and Monday between

quencc of the Turks attempting to
throw bridge over the Moravia.

rear south of DJureiswher, and a
combined attack was made by the
two generals. Fighting ceased at

MANI e.

GAS Maine goes, SO goes the Union"
was common expression in the early
days of the republican party, and it
seems conclusive at this writing, that
the republicans have elected all five
members of Congress, every member
of the lower house Of the legislature,
twenty-seven out of thirty members
of the Senate, and gained some ten to
twelve thousand over the last election,
on the aggregate vote.
Maine was originally democratic
State, and at the last election the re-
publican majority was cut down in
side of four thousand. 1t has, there
fore, been considered a close State
and there the democrats for the pas
sixty days have sent their most poten
orators, and persuasive greenbacks
. 1t has been claimed confidently b.
: the democratic papers in many quar-
! tiers, and on all hands has been ad
: mitted to be debatable ground.
The vote was the largest ever poll
ed, and again is it manifest that whe1
l the vote is all out in any State, tn
result is invariably favorable to tn
republican party.
The result secures the return {
! Blaine to the Senate, and shows plail
ly that the breeze in Vermont hi
y swelled to a storm in Maine, whic
will sweep like a tornado in Noven
4 Der all over the country, electin
i Hayes by larger popular vote tha
e was ever given to any other preside1
u tial candidate.

SALT MOUNTAINS OF NEVADA.
B!ocks Of selt as Iransparent as

A correspondent OF the San Fran
cisco Alta, writing from Prescott,
Arizona, gives the following descrip-
ton of the wonderful salt formations
on the Virginia river in Nevada:
"Stone's Ferry is about $50 miles
above the mouth of the Colorado,
having an altitude of $50 feet above
tide water. The river at this point is
$50 feet wide, and has generally a
swift-running current of from four
to six miles an hour. Virginia river,
which rises in the mountains of Ne
vada over 100 miles to the north, en-
tiers the Colorado short distance
above Stones Ferry. At low water
it is a swift-running stream of not
over fifty feet in width, with an av-
erage depth of one foot. The salt
formations are, in fact, mountains of
salt, and extend for thirty miles or
more up the Virginia river and
the Big Muddy, one of its branches.
It was discovered some twelve or
fifteen years since by the Mormons,
who built up several very flourishing
colonies in the valleys of the Virgin
10 and Muddy, put out fine orchards
and VINEYARDS, and brought large
tracts of land under successful culti-
walton. For some reason unknown
to me they were recalled to Utah
some years since by the Prophet
Brigham Young, leaving their fields
and improvements, or selling them
for what they could get. During their
stay they worked the salt mines to
some extent, and supplied the coun-
try for long distances with what was
needed. Since that time the mines
have been worked at intervals by diff
ferent parties. The different open
ings made are in the face of the
mountain bluffs which run down
from the north and ksouth ranges OF
mountains, both on the east and west
sides of the river. The first one Wis.
tied by me was about six miles vi
the Virginia river from Stones Fer.
ry, and about one-half mile to the
east. The surface of this and Tho
other salt bluffs and mountains i.
covered with a dark orange coloret
clay and earth, in which are strewr
large quantities of impure mica. Thu
clay and earth are some two feet il
depth, and under this is from two t.
four feet of impure sedimentar.
granite, and then at depth of from
three to six feet from the surface, tn
salt is found in a solid and compac
form. 1t is mined by blasting, in tn
same manner as granite or othe
stone would be. Five miles furthe
up, or twelve miles from the ferry, i
another opening of similar charact
err to the two first. The salt from tn
, three mines mentioned, is of darl
gray color, somewhat resemblin!
granite, and is 80 per cent. pure
Small veins from two to six inche

nations. At point twenty-one mile

, than the others, and this is all pure

Effect of the Storm ON our Rail-
roads.

roads.
The storm Friday night played sad
havoc with the railroads, more partic-
ularly with the G. B. 4 @. That
road is all right east of here, and at
noon was in passable condition as
far west as Dudley Station. From
there west to Abba the road is dam
aged some, but the particular damage
is between Abba and Charlton. Along
the bottom on either side of Tyrone,
we are informed, there is miles of
track badly damaged, and in some
places totally washed away.
The damage west of Charlton is
also very great, but how much is not
known. They have a large force of
hands at work, and are putting on
others as fast as possible. The agents
of the company in this city can give
no information as to the time when
trains will make regular trips again,
but probably not before Monday, if
that soon. The west bound train left
here last night, and we believe got as
far as Abba, where 1t is at present,
while the east bound train is laid up
at Charlton. The mail train from the
east, due here at IL o'clock a. M, ar
rived as near on time as usual, and
mail cars, baggage cars and coaches
were transferred to the X. & ID. NJ, by
which they are to be taken to Des
Moincs, transferred to the Rock Island
road, and sent west to Omaha via that
route.
We have heard of no accident so
far, and probably none have occurred,
as the condition of the roads made
the usually cautious employees dou-
bly, careful.
The X. & d. M. Road is all right be-
tween here and Keoknk and as far
west as Kirkvllle Station. The prin-
cipal damage is between Kirkville
and Eddyville.
The passenger train which left here
last night going west at the usual
time, and the Central, which followed
few minutes later, were both caught
between those places, and remained
there until this afternoon. The train
due here last night on the Valley
Road did not get here until to-day.
The damage to this road was not very
serious, and we believe was
fully repaired by o'clock this after
noon.
The Central suffered no damage
whatever that we know of, and DIR.
Carpenter, who came down on the
Central last night. informs us that the
Iowa river was only about two feet
higher than usual and the rain up
there was of but little consequence.
The North Missouri Road, we are
informed, suffered no great damage
below Bloomfield, at which place the
passenger train was at the usual hour.
The bridge over Little Soap creek was
damaged to such an extent that it was
considered unsafe to cross, and a
bridge or two on this side Of Soap
were also damaged considerably. This
morning their switch engine from
their yard in this city started down
the road and got so far that it could
not get back, and an engine from the
Central went to their assistance, but
had not returned at noon. The cal
culatiOn was to make q transfer of
passengers at Little Soap, going both
ways. If we have been correctly in
formed, the road is not seriously
damaged, except at the before mem
toned bridge, and the transfer Of
passengers will not cause serious de-
lay.
We may be pardoned for mention
ing the fact that this is good time to
stay al home.

II is not exactly Renaissance, but
nevertheless it is well enough for us
to know in this Centennial and his
torical year, that the name ofour coun-
ty-Wapcllo-should be pronounced
as though spelled WapellaW. Atany
rate that's the way old Warello HIM
self pronounced it, and he being an
intelligent Indian, ought to have
known. YEA
He died at the forks Of the Skunk
river on the 10Th Of March, 1912, and
his remains were brought to the In
dian Agency,ncar where Agency City
Is now located, in an OK wagon and
buried towards evening of the same
day with customary Indian ceremo-
MES. At his own request he was bur-
led alongside of Gen. Street, in the
garden of the Agency. General Street
had been an Indian agent at Prairie
Du Chen and at Rock Island. He
came to the Agency of the Sacs and
Fox Indians here in April, 1889, by as
signment of the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, Judge Crawford, and
died May 9Th, lS40. He was for many
years in the Indian service, and al.
though always strong Wing, he was
yet man of such experience and
sterling integrity that he remained il
Office to the day of his death in spite
; of his politics and the changes in ad
ministration. He was very popular
with the Indians, and hence the de
sire of Wapello to be laid by the sid
, of his honest pale-faced friend, which
was gratified. Gen. Street left nu
merous children and grandchildren
none of them living here at present
r we believe. Keokuk and Appanoose
and nearly all of the other head men O
5 chiefs of the confederate tribes o
Sacs and Foxes, of whom Wapello wa
: the chief by seniority as, the success
= sor of Black Hawk, were present a
