DooIey,s Yeast Powder.

This truly unrivalled baking powder
stands on its merit alone; and because
of its perfect purity and excellence, and
from the fact that every package is
strictly full weight, the people have
adopted it in their households, and have
the utmost confidence in it. 1t always
does the work effectually, goes much
further in use, and makes better and
more wholesome and nutritious biscuits,
bread, rolls, mullins, cakes and pastry
than any other in the country.

from the, reservation, near Fort Reno,
arrived here about / O'Clock this morn
ing, bringing with him the body Of Col.
W. H. Lewis, of the Nineteenth infan-

Topeka, Sept. pa trustworthy
semi-oflicial report of the facts concern
ing the recent Indian .depredations on
the southwestern frontier was received
here last evening through military
channels The first demonstration by
the Indians was made, it seems, on the
18th inst, when they raided Henry
Koller's camp, fifty miles southeast Of
Dodge City, killing q lherder named
Warren and running off forty five head
of stock. The next day, the 10th, they
sufrounded' Dfiscoll's camp. drove away
the herders and captured afty horses.
As sood as the news reached Fort
Dodge, a company of the Fourth caval-
,ry, with Driscoll's herders, started in
pursuit Of the Indians and caught up
with them at Bluff creek, twenty-six
miles south Of Dodge City, where a
sharp skirmish en- sued, resulting in the
Indians getting away with the loss of
one killed, while one soldier was
wounded. The troops then returned to
Dodge, were. reinforced, and started
out again, overtaking the Indians Sat-
urday evening on Sand creek, fifty miles
south of Cimarron. A severe engage
ment took place, lasting till night,
when the Indians stole away. The next
morning they were pursued and caught
again, and fought until O'Clock in the
evening, when the cavalry charged
through them and drove them in confu-
sion from the field. Four Indians were
killed and the troops escaped without
any loss. The Indians were about 200
strong, well armed and mounted, and
commanded by Cutting Knife, who is
said to have managed his forces with
surprising skill. This same band raid
ed Mead City, where they confscated
everything and destroyed the mail mat
ter, but offered no violence to the men
until freighter named Washington
Connor came up with u load of provis-
ions, when they shot him sight of the

Heat is Life-Cold is Death"

There is no greater fallacy than the
opinion of many, particularly the young
and strong and vigorous, that winter
especially sharp, frosty one. with plenty
of snow-is the most healthy season of
the year. Very few persons seem to re
alize the fact that cold is the condition
of death, and that in both warm and cold
climates it is our unconscious effort to
maintain our bodily heat at tempera
ture of ninety eight degrees that wears
us out To this temperature, called
blood heat" every cubic inch OF oxygen
that serves to vitalize our blood must be
raised by our own bodily heat. or life
ceases. Since in cold weather the main
tenance OF sufficiently elevated bodily
temperature becomes very often a diff
Guilty too great for our strength, the ad-
vent OF severe winter is really more to
be dreaded than visitation of pesti-
lence. The saying, Heat is llfe-cold is
death" has a striking illustration and
confirmation in the reports now regularly
submitted by DR. Russell to the Glasgow
Sanitary Committee. The death rate
rises and falls with the regularity of the
thermometer. So many degrees less
heat, so many more deaths, and vace UerSa.
In one OF his fortnightly reports DR. Rus

and in the second week twenty five The

ge-Slavery.

Wage slavery" is one of the favorte
catch phrases OF the Socialists When
this sort Of slavery shall be abolished,
then, as they claim the millennium will
have come, and all men will be happy,
since all will stand at the same econom
cal level and be equally rich and equally
poor 1t will take less labor to live and
its product will be equally divided There
will be no masters and no slaves; no EN-
ploye:s and no employees; no buye.s and
no sellers Of labor The wage system by
which workingnen are now ensleved
will come to a perpetual end. Govern
melt will take charge of all the indus
trial machinery of society and see to it
that every nIan has his proper place in
it, does his share Of the work, and gets
his full proportion, and no more, of the
benefits And this will be universal
emancipation from wage slavery.
There is, OF course, no objection to
that v0lamtaTy co operation by which
workingmen become joint capitalists
supplying both the capital and the labor
and sharing in proper proportions the
profits thereof Nor is there any objec
tion to that voluntary union between the
capitalist and the workin gman which, in
addition to wages, gives to the latter a
certain percentage of the profits realized
from the business. Co operation in both
OF these forms, when voluntarily entered
into by all the parties and wisely and
honestly conducted, has worked good re-
suits. The experiment in this country
and III Europe has been successful. and
the principle upon which it is founded
admits Of much broader application -
Society would not be harmed thereby
We believe in such cooperation, as one
of the ways by which the condition OF
the working classes may be improved
But when the Socialists talk about
wage slavery" and propose politically
| and legally to reorganlze society, as the
means of removing it, we think them i'm
mensely wide OF the facts and OF tn
remedy for admitted evils. The phrase
| wage slavery starts with an untruth.-
| 1t Is not true that the man who sells his
| labor for wages Is anyhodys slave He
is voluntary in the sale and consults or
supposes that he consults his own inter
rsts in making it The law as perfectly
protects him as it does his employer -
There Is nothing in their nature why ser

should not be subject 10 the law Of bar
gain and SALE ust as well as tangible and
material commodities He who sells the
one is no more a slave and no more a
victim of oppression and injustice than
! he who sells the other.

must sell their services in order to obtain
the means of living, then wages are pre-
cisely what they want They have moth

The Duty of the Hour.

Nowhere do we witness more visible
change than is now exhibited between
city and country life. The dwellers in
the country are rejoicing over good crops
and partaking of the choice products OF
the soil with cheerful faces and healthy
appetites. In the city we are met with
grave countenances, and it would appear
as if ones friends had barely escaped
some dreadful calamity. The conversa-
ton is not of mercy but Of trials Bro
ken banks, broken spectators, forfeited
trade, failure OF large manufacturing cor
porations with widespread ruin, sus-
pended payments, fortunes sunk unex
pectedly, and train of forebodings yet
to ensue, meet us on every hand.
To what shall we trace this disorgan,
lied state? Had people lived contented,
ly upon honest gains slowly acquired,
would these events have happened2 Ask
the speculator, ruined by the decline in
prices of the common necessaries of lite,
why he kept his storehouse sealed? Be-
cause he expected further rise in prices,
he will honestly answer So of manufac-
lures, and banks, and railroads. All have
been living upon extended credit, and
scarcely knowing how they lived, and not
daring to face the future, until in an
hour the crash came Somebody failed
whose paper affected yet another, and
the first stone which rolled loosened the
whole edge of the precipice, and the vast
heap tumbled together in one confused
mass.
Now it behooves US to take salutary
warming Man is doomed 20 labor 1t
is an old con- mand, but true one to day
In no other way can we attain true indie
pendence, and in no other way can we
ward off present disastrous consequences.
We must arouse to action; not suffer
ourselves to become hypochondriac in
panic, Review and improve upon the
past is the only way OF escape Above
all, we must learn how to spend rs well as
how to get money. This is the want OF
our times. Young men must be educated
to labor and feel their responsibility
There is far too much sham. Now we
must have the substance. Learning to
provide for ones wants is not so hard
lot as it may appear to many. Let us
not go on croaking over ruin, but put
our energies and shoulders to the task of
redeeming the past, and the present de
preston and panic will pass away and
leave US all the stronger wiser, and, in
time, richer than before.
In these days OF financial embarrass
ment it is somewhat gratifying to note so
few failures among our firms of printers
While the daily papers are filled with
announcements of the suspension OF large
m uIacturing firms and corporations, it
is seldom that we see recorded firm
connected with printing, or trades with
which printing is allied. This speaks
well for our profession, and leads US to
think that with a determination to push
matters, We shall have revival of busi
ness.-[ Newspaper Reporter.

Can Government Create Money?

The Greenback party embraces some
honest men, as well as some knaves and
some traitors. 1t represents not only
detestable spirit toward bondbolders,
and malignant hostility to the Union.
but a sincere, deep rooted and widespread
misrepresentation, namely, that Govern
ment can create money. That it can ere
ate promises, all know. But in popular
speech, greenbacks have been called
money so long that great many hon
est persons entirely forget that they are
not money, but only promises to pay
They see the stamp of the Government
on a bill, but perhaps have never read or
cannot read the very language of the bill
itself-"The United States will pay"
So they fancy that any other stamp would
serve as we'll; that paper bearing the
words, This is one dollar" or fiat money,
would be just as good as money bearing
the words, will pay one dollar or cred
it currency. Naturally, they infer that
Government ought to create fiat money
enough to wipe out all its debts, A tract
entitled Hot Drops, No. 6, '" issued from
its headquarters by the National Com.
mittee OF the Greenback party" contains
the distinct demand:
For the creation of an absolute Green
back money that shall be perpetual mon
ev of the United States and always a iull
legal tender for the payment of debts,
one dollar OF money always to pay one
dollar of debt. Then the demand will
be the payment Of every United States
bond and claim against the General Gov
ernment in this absolute money, thus
forever wiping out the National debt"
Regulators want TO wipe out the
debt bv robbing creditors of all that is
h. q,
money would become worthless But
there are honest men in that party, also,
who want to forever wipe out the Ma,
| tional debt" and see no harm in doing
so, because they fancy that the fiat dollar
would be Just as good as the legal tender
credit dollar is now. Yet none OF these
men would make the same blunder in
any TRANSACTION with neighbor. 1t
Jones should Offer in payment of a debt
of 500 piece Of paper saying, Thirty
days after date | promise to pay 500
these greenback men might accept the
note as payment, knowing Jones to be
good. But the same men would call
Jones a swindler, or kick him out of the
house, if he should off-r piece of paper
bearing the words, This is $lC0
What greater power has the Govern
