DENNIS KEARNEY does not want

However newspapers have had

WHILE the mortality in the yellow
fever infected cities of the South
west does not appear to diminish in
any important degree, it would seem
that, owing either to a want of fresh
material for the disease to prey up
on, or the negligence OF the medical
authorities to report their patients,
there is falling of in the reports of
new cases. The situation can hardly

Caucus Blu Printing.

II having come to our knowledge
that the oficious and aspiring frisnds'
OF Hazelton who were dNo,oed to go
from this city IS delegates to the
Muscoda convention, industriously
circulated story there to the effect
that the TRIBUNE refused to print
bills for . Republican city caucus,
we deem it proper TO state tho facts
in relation to tho matter, and dis
cover to the public the self-seeking
demagoguery of the petty politicians
who champion the cause Of Mr.. Ha-
zelton here, and claim abroad to be
representatives Of our Republican
voters:
On the morning previous to the
holding Of the late Republican city
caucus, Calvert Spensley called at
the TRIBUNE Office and inquired if
any caucus call had been made or
bills printed; to which reply was
made in the negative. Here he
simply suggested it was time, end
this we did not consider ON order
Again in the afternoon of the same
day, Mr. .Spensley called and enquir-
ed why bills we're not printed; to
which answer was given that no order
for such printing had been received
and printers could not be expected
to furnish it without some authority
Whereat Mr.. s. remarked that ''if
we did not intend to print the bills
he should get them done at the DEM
Ocral Office" and accordingly he had
them SO printed, and signed "Per
order of Committee"
This is substantially the entire
case and b. it observed, Mr.. Spens-
ley DID not at any time give the TRI.
UNE any order to print, but confin-
I'd himself to inquiries as to why
the printing was not done. Had he,
Dr. any other responsible Republic
,an given all order for printing, as
40 did to the Democrat, it would
nave been promptly done. But, as
We have reason to believe, he care
FULLY avoided doing so in order that
here might be o coloring Of truth
n the story circulated to our preju-
lice among Republicans Of the Dis
.rict at Muscoda.
In this locality where the political
Standing Of both the TRIBUNE and
hese worthless is well known, we
nave no fear of our Republicauism
being doubted on account of any.
hing they may say, but for the ben
elit Of those in other parts of the

'awked, and who may not be so ia

Histories, this explanation seems nee

THE Turks'lo about $50, 900 men
killed and wounded during the re-
cent war, and according to the In
valide Russo something over 10000
600 cartridges were fred by the
Russians, which would make the
proportion Of hits one in every six
ty-six shots fred. At Spichen the
Prussians scored one Frenchman
for every 279 shots, at Worth one
for 147, and at Colombey -Nouilly
one for ia, so that if the Russian
figures are correct the Russian SOL
der is better shot or more econom-
ical Of ammunition than his German
cousin. However the Russians en-
ployed artillery fire more largely
than usual, anda London paper hints
that they may lave used the bayo-
net after their enemies had surren-
dered.

suREsr TRANQu1L1zER OF THE NERVES

The surest tranquilizer Of the nerves is a med
cine which remedies their supersensitiveness by
invigOrating them. Over-tension of the nerves
always weakcns them. What they need, then
is a tonic, not a sedative. The latter is only use
full when there is intense medical excitement
and an immediate necessity exists for producing
quietudc OF the brain. HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters restores tranquility of the nerves by ell
downing them with the vigor requisite to bear,
without being Jared or disturbed unhealthfully
the ordinary impressions produced through the
media of sight, hearing and reflection. Nay, it
does more than this,-it enables them to sustain
a degree of tension. from mental application,
which they would be totally unable to endure
without its assistance. Such at least is the ire
sistible conclusion to be drawn from the testimo-
ny of business and professional mcn, littelatcurs
clergymen, and others who have tested the for
tifying and reparative influence of this cclebra~
ted tonic and hervine.

OLD SPOTS THEOLOGY.

IT the Catholics are to be Removed, lIc
Demands h Removal of all Religious
Teachers.
AS has been noted in these columns here
tofore, the Spotted Tail Indians have fire.
quently requested the government to send
or allow Catholic priests to come among
them to administer to their spiritual well
fare. and take charge of the education Of
their children. In response to tine repeated
requests Of these Indians, the Catholic
church sent Abbott Martin TO Spotted
Tail agency, and he has been there several
months devoting himself to the instruction
and education of the Indians. But now 1t
appears TINT Commissioner Hayt, for rea.
sons best known to himself, has decided to
withdraw the permission given to the Cath
Olic church to send missionaries into the
Indian country on an equal footing with
other Christian denominations, and tn COM
pei the representatives of that church to
leave the several agencies where they have
established churches and schools. The
news ofthis determination on the part of the
commissioner reached Spotted Tail several
days ago, and of course was received with
displeasure and indignation. The old chief
determined that if he could not have the
ministers of the church he wanted he would
have none at all accordingly he visited the
representatives of the other churches and
schools at the agency and informed them
that he did not want them to move to the
new agency, that neither himself or his
people wanted them, and they would net he
want to see them get into trouble, and for
that reason gave them notice not to move
| becsusc if they did follow the Indians there
would be trouble, and they would he COM
PEELED to'leave. And the Indians doubtless
mean what they directed their chief to say.
They are pleased with the forms Of the
Catholic service, the manner and conduct Of
the priests have gained their confidence aud
respect, aud they deem thei: request to have
Catholic priests and teachers among them
a reasonable aud just one. Aud they now
regard the order for their removal as arb!-
trary and without cause, and on a par
with tina, denying them the use Of paint
and bca,1s.
The removal Of the Indians is to COM
mencc to morrow, and we shall soon learn
whether the Indians will carry out their DC
termination to reach their fiaal destination
without the aid of the church.
