SERIOUS PRAIRIE FIRE.

"A Chll0 burned TO Death ana Its Mother
Probably Fatally Injured-Thous.
ands OF Dollars Worth of
Property Destroyed.
A prairie fire terribly destructive in its
results ran through southern Turner county
Monday and Tuesday. A high wind was
blowing and the fire swept everything in it's
course. 1t ran with the speed of a swift
horse, those who saw it say, and presented
an advancing wall Of fame ten or fifteen feet
high. We have not received reports of in
dividual losses, but the aggregate loss will
run we'll up into the thousands. Many
farmers have lost all their crops and hay
and are left destitute at the opening Of what
promises to be = hard winter. One case Of
fatal burning ard another
which promises fatal ending
are reported, as the result of Tuesdays fire.
Mrs. james Roland was driving home from
Turner with her two year old child in the
wagon. About a mile and a half south of
Turner they met the fire and attempted to
drive through it. Mrs. Roland's clothing
took fire and in her fright she jumped from
the wagon and ran to house near by. Her
clothing was almost entirely burned off be-
fore she reached the house and che was 30
badly injured that it il feared she will not
recover. The horses, in the meantime ran
of with the wagon and the child. Parties
started in pursuit and on overtakine the
team fsiled to find the child. The trail was
followed back and after 4 long search the
child was found dead and frightfully burned.
The remains were buried to-day.

good route from Canton:.here. They prom.
Use a railroad for us by this time next year.
Their objective point on the Missouri is. tho
mouth of White river. but no survey west
of here will be made until next year."

SHAKING LIKE AN ASPEN LEAF

With the clills and fever, the victim Of malaria
may still recover by using the celebrated spe-
cifc, Hostetter's Stoinach Bitters. which not only
breaks up the most aggravated attacks, but pre-
vents their recurrence. 1t is infinitely prefera-
bic to quinine, not only because 1t does the bust
ness far more thoroughly, bit also on account Of
its perfect whOles0meness and invigorating &C.
tion upon the entire sytem. Testimony is con-
current, positive and ample showing the decisive
nature OF its effects. and that 1t Is no mere palli-
alive. Physicians concede its excellence, and
there is q constant influx Of communications
from persons in every class Of society %ayouching
its merits. and bearing witness to Its superiority
over other remedies for malarial disease. 1t Is
especially popular throughout the west, whercv-
er fever and ague prevails. As 1t does In many Of
the fairest and most fertile portions Of that vast
region. /

Among the witnesses that will be called
before the Potter Investigating Committee
is @. II. Pyles. lately a messenger in the
pension Office at Washington. Pyles was
one of the four pages employed by the Re
turning Board in New Orleans in Novem-
Der, 1876. He was intrusted with the duty
of taking the mail from the postoi sdaily'
and was used to tamper with the returns
from the parishes. These returns were
taken to a room and opened, so as not to
disturb the seals, and forged protests put
in them. 1t was the habit Of Wells during
the examination Of these papers by the he
turning Board, whenever he came TO one
Of these returns containing a protest to
have the room cleared OF all the visitors
while the paper was being examined by
the Board. Pyles is prepared to swear
that 10 out of the 81 parishes in which pro-
tests we're filed were on forged afidavits
and jurats fabricated in the city OF New
Orleans. He is supposed to have other in
teresting information to lay before the
committee.

PRESIDENT HAYES did a cowardly thing
in removing Collector Arthur and Naval
Officer Connell from the New York Custom
house. He tried it a year ago, but the
Senate protected them, and it was given
out at the time that he had agreed with
Senator Conkling not again to modest
them. If Hayes had been made OF the
right kind of stuff he would have pursued
the fight before the Senate instead of re-
sorting to this arbitrary dodge. We shall
now expect Conkling to discover any
amount Of new testimony going to prove
that Hayes is a fraad and usurper. How
