A great portrait of the late MI. Straub,

more SO as a picture, perhaps owing to
! the fact that his was q face Of such pro-
nounced individuality that its charac-

Late Mr.. Straub's old-tim friends,

!. THE SULTAN is in a terrible dilemma.
On the one hand the Christian powers
are incensed at the murder OF the Con-
suls and the threats made against the
Christian population of Turkey; while
on the other hand his own subjects are
excited beyond all bounds, and are
threatening his dethronement and assas-
sination. whichever way he turns he
sees nought but toll and trouble; while
bankruptcy and fnancialruin stare him
In the face. He is again the ''sick man
of Turkey" and there seems TO be nc
remedy for his disease.

own community, and to afford the actual
advantages of NORMAL School, for
advanced education Of TEACHERS, in the
County; OF it, and ito the manor born -
two of the most desirable objects, in our
present contemplation. The law upon
this subject is simple and fully adequate
in its character, (Shool law s pa ct s,q.,)
and provides for cooperation of several
adjacent districts, in order to support
the expense, and reap the equal benefits.
Our circumstances and surroundings
demand prompt action and enlightened
cooperation, in order TO secure us the
advantages VIC may certainly derive from
the adoption Of such scheme. Beyond
the primary instruction of our ordinary
public schools, tuition in higher branch.
es Of learning, to qualify for business or
admission into our Colleges and Univer-
sity. should be provided for, on terms
so low rs to place higher education in
ordinary reach,and ilourishing. pcrma-

essential to the prosperity and welfare
of this whole people.
To consummatc this commendable
object. we may also favorably regard the
aid of THE PEABODY FUND" TO the an.
nnal amount Of several hundred dollars,
with which we cannot afford to dispense,
If it can be had by our own reasonable
cooperation. A Graded School may
be provided for by the concurrent action
OF Romney and the adjoining Districts,
and the attention Of intelligent men is
called to the subject, ut once. X.

"That letter has impressed many

t1-Ihc Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
was the first railroad constructed in the
United States for both freight and pas.
scngcr transportation on anything like
comprehensive scale. The charter was
procured in 1927; the construction Of
the road was begun July 4th, 1923, and
on tho 22Hd Of May, 1880, the first sec,
ton Of fifteen miles was opened. The
first locomotive ever used in the United
States was ono imported from England
in 1929. The first locomotive built in
this country was made in 1880. The
locomotives of those days weighed from
three TO six tons each, and were hardly
capable of drawing on q level road half
the weight Of the improved machine of
the present day. At the close Of 1880
there were % miles Of railroad in opera
ton i'll the United States. At the close
Of 1885 the mileage had reached 1893 {;
in 1910, 2.Sl6, in 1850, 9,021; l849
having been the first year in Which more
than 1000 miles Of railroad were con
structed in 1860, 30635; in 1870, 81.
800, and IN 1875, 1868 miles. The
greatest progress in any one year was
in 1871, when 1910 miles were construc
ted. In the five years from tic close Of
1873, there was on annual average in.
crease of $500 miles of railway. In
1874, 2,05S miles Of new road were con
structcd, and in 1876. 1917 miles. The
total tonnage Of railroads the past year
was not less than $500, 900 tons, Of
an aggregate value Of $4,000, 1000, 900.
Reports from railroads representing II,
7j9 miles show that their aggregate cap.

Mr.. HARPER Certain articles an
pearing in some OF the newspapers in
the State, not only press the nomination
of Judge Hoge for Congress from this
District, but breathe tone OF dispar
agement and depreciation of another
gentleman, not very we'll calculated to
promote harmony and good feeling a
mopg friends OF the respective canii-
dates. Conceding to Judge IIoge and
his admirers all that may be asserted for
him, all his merits and reputation as
a soldier, schol ar, statesman and jurist,
does this or ought it to detract anything
from the deserts OF b. F. Martin?
The-tonc OF this advocacy OF Judge
Hoge is, in that respect, Mt least, highly
aggressive, and docs not commend itself
to the approval OF rejecting men. The
very introduction OF Mr.. Martins
name into these articles appears TO rem
der it foregone conclusion, that his
name and Judge Iloge's are before the
people rs rival aspirants for Congress
sional honors. How far such papers
may serve to fores:all the action of II
Congressional Convention cannot be foro-
seen, but if theiT tendency be to bring
the relative merits of these gentlemen
before the people. it will not be at the
sole cost or b. +. Martin! He can stand
or fall by his record rs his named oppo-
ncnt can; and when the qeustion OF Sec
tional preponderance becomes n new
feature in the canvass, look to it-look

that the West will win, rs righteously
it should! VINDEX.

THE SIOUX WAR.
, SITTING BULL NOT KILLED.

CHICAGO, IL. AagusS Id. s. Po-
land, 9th infantry, writes from Head.
quarters Military Station, Standing
Rock, Dakota Territory. under date Of
July Gath. to the Adjutant General,
Department of Minnesota, St. Paul,
giving an Indian account Of
THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIG HORN
June 2jth. The account does not diff
fer essentially from the reports alleady
published. It says, however, that Sit.
ting Bull was neither killed nor person.
ally injured in the fight. He remained
in the council tent directing operations.
Crazy Horse, with big band, and Black
Moon, were the principal leaders on the
25th OF June. Kill Eagle, chief of the
Blackfect, at the head Of Some twenty
lodges. was ut this agency about the
last OF May. He was prominently en-.
gagged In the battle of June 25th. and
afterwards upbraidcd Sitting Bull for
not taking an active person and part in
the engagement. Kill Eagle has sent
me word that he was forced into the
fight and that he desires to return to
the agency, and that he will return to
agency if he is killed for it.
AGENCY INDIANS IN sITTING'BULL's CAMP.
The report concludes as follows !:
There is q general gathering in the hos.
tile camp from each Of the agencies on
the Missouri river-Red Clouds and
Spotted Tairs-as also the northern
Cheyennos d Arrapohocs. They report
for special benefit of their relatives that
in three fights they had with the whites
they have captured over four hundred
stand of arms ,carbiDes, rifles and reyoly.
crs not counted, ammunitionwithout end,
and some sugar, coffee, bacon and hard
bread. They claim TO nave captured
from the whites this summer over two
hundred horses and mules. | suppose
this includes operations against the SOL
dicrs, The Crow Indians and the Black
Hill miners. The general outline OF
this Indian report concurs with the pub.
lishod reports.
IN EHClTl*G REPORT FROM ANOTHER
SOURCE.
| have, since writing the above, heard
the following from returned hostiies !:
They communicated rs secret 10 the
particular friends here information that
q large party Of Sioux and Cheyennes
were 10 leave Rosebud mountains. a
hostile camp, for this agency, TO init
midUte and compel the Indians here TO
join Sitting Bull. If they refuse they
ordered TO soldier them and steal their
ponies.
