Cadiz Republican.
There is little or nothing being done
in the wool market in Harrison county
at present. The buyers are taking rest.
There is yet good deal OF wool for sale
in this county, probably more than
100000 pounds, and most OF it is the
incest, cleanest wool raised in the coun-
ty. 1t is worth more, intrinsically, by
the pound, than the average OF the wool
that has already been sold. We think
there is no reason TO doubt that some.
body will want il badly before long.
Noundsville Reporter.
With the communication from Sand
Hill, concerning Mr.. :. A. Cockayne's
fine wool sheep, We received two sam
pies Of wool which We have shown TO
number OF wool growers, each Of whom
pronounce it superfine. The great
superiority of Mr.. Cs sheep is becoming
so well established that all enterprising
farmers, desiring to improve their fiocks,
invest in stock from his folds, but the
demand is becoming 80 great for these
fine sheep-orders being received from
nearly all Of the foreign countries, be-
sides all parts Of the American continent
that it has been frequently the case,
that parties were obliged to engage their
stock some time ahead. But this is fast
being overcome until now nearly all
orders can be filed with but little or no
DELAY. Every sheep sold has given
satisfaction, and has been the forerunner
OF other orders.

CHICAGO RACES.
Fastest Pacing Time on Record.

CHICAGO, July 25.-The weather to-
day was very fine and the track fast.
The first event was the final heat Of yes
terday's unfnishe pacing race. The en-
thusiasm over this race was very
marked. Matte Hunter had won the
first heat, and had run dead heat with
Lucy in the second trial, while Sleepy
Tom had won the third and fourth heats
yesterday. The start Of the fifth heat
to-day was affected with Tom at the pole,
and length ahead of Matte Hunter,
Rowdy Boy third and Lucy fourth.
They went at a tremendous pace in the
same order until the half nile was
reached, when Lucy passed ROwdy Boy.
At the last turn Matte made grand
squirt to pass her blind competitor, but
he let out his last link, and tore down
the homestretch and under the wire in
2:12t, the fastest pacing time on record
by two seconds. Matte Hunter was
second by half length, Lucy next and
ROwdv Boy last. The time of the en-
tire race is 2;lS!, 2:l6!, 2:l6l, 2:l6 and
2l2i.

LIFE ON THE FRONTIER

1t Is Becoming Better as Time Passes-Lit-
tie Border Ruflants,n, and Increased
Safety from, Indians.
Isaac q. Parker, judge of the United States
court for the western district of Arkansas
which for judicial purposes includes the In.
dian Territory, has recently made visit to
Washington. He says that the observance
of law and the security of life and property
in the Indian Territory is more favorable
than in Arkansas or Texas. Judge Parker
says that the civilized tribes have local courts.
and the uncivilized have rude way of in
hicting punishment upon offenders; that in
about three years there have been thirty con-
victions for murder, about the same number
flor manslaughter, and about $50 for minor
ottenses, chiefly larceny, assault with intent
to kill, violating the internal revenue law,
and smuggling liquor into the Territory. OF
the persons convicted of each class of crime
murder, granddaughter, ard minor offenses
about one fifth were Indians.
The motives disclosed for the perpetua-
ton OF crime we're about the same in the
case OF the Indians as of the whites con-
vloted. Whisky is the direct cause of much
crime among the Indians, as we'll as amono
the whites. The Territory is y place of re-
fuge for escaped criminals from the States.
who seek it as region where they can easily
hide. The reputation of the Territory has
to suffer because of their misdeeds "a
we'll as for their bad example upon the In
dians. Still crime, especially of the higher
grades, is decreasing. The law is vigorously
executed in the United States courts, and
many of the Indian courts show great
energy in the enforcement Of the local
