these Indians, and our reasons for
not holding them in greater dread,
it must be remembered that they
had not up to this time, committed
any serious depredations upon the
miners who had lately invaded
their reservation, and as already
stated, one portion Of the tribe
were known to be staunch friends
Of the whites and enemies Of all
hostile tribes. It tisqnite probable
that the fear Of having Lawyers
band to fight as well as the whites
prevented Looking Glass and the
other northern chiefs from attack
ing the miners, and the latter, while
they were confident Of Lawyers
friendship, felt that there was little
danger to be apprehendad from
any portion Of the tribe.

It is gratifying TO be able 10 announce
that true merit is always appreciated by
our Western people. The Hest Shore
started as an illustrated paper nearly three
years ago, and has now thelargest c;rcula-
ton Of any paper in the Pacific North
west. lis engraviags are artistically ex-
ecQted, and the articles arc we'll and care
fully written. It is one Of that class Of
papers which can safely be admitted into
the family circle, the publisher being
especially careful not to admit any aaticla
or advertisement which would be likely to
offend the most fastidiops. For 1873 The
Nest Store has been greatly improved
and adorned with magnificent new head.
insl Every issue consists Of l6 large size
pages, filed with the very choicest read
ing. 1t is a publication that every re
zldent Of the Pacific Northwest can feel
proud Of. as the subscription price il
but 2l.59 per gear, every family should
subscribe tor 1t, and those having friends
in the Eastern States should send them o.

receive the paper for 1873, and will also
be furnished With six months back nun

smallpox at wichita.

We learn from reliable sources
that the smallpox is now prevailing
at Wichita badly. At last accounts it
was on the increase. The city
schools have been closed, and last
Sabbath there were no church or
Sabbath school services.
We hear a rumor that it is also
at Newton. This we have not heard
confirmed.
The disease was taken to Wichita
by q lot of what is termed ''Bohe-
MANS" who went and stopped at
the hotels. Hanging is fate not
much too severe for person who
will knowingly go into town and
spread the small pox.
There is no cause for alarm, and
it will do no good to get excited.
Every reasonable and possible pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
the appearance of the disease in this
city. The children should be vaccin-
ated, and all precautionary steps
taken. Let rs apply the ounce Of

the Hale amendment, or some other
equally broad, my prediction is that
we shall have another bloody shirt
