The sprague Troubles.

New York, Oct. 3.-A Providence
special to the World says Gov. Sprague
has decided not to recognize the Mrs.
Sprague trustee. He will hold Canon
chet as far as the law allows for his
personal benefit, but will surrender to
Mrs. Sprague without delay and without
reserve whatever she can prove to be
her own, The remainder he will hold
for the benefit of the Sprague manufac-
turing company. Thus he antagonizes
2. Chaffee, trustee of the Sprague es.
tate. He denounces Mrs. Sprague's
trustee and her lawyers as conspirators,
and threatens to bring action against
them. This attitude will prove annoy
ing to Mrs. Sprague, who will have to
fight both her husband and Chaffee,
who dislikes her greatly. The affair
cannot be settled without further liti-
cation, and all the interested parties
are in state of indignation.

Colorado Means Business.

Colorado is thoroughly aroused on
the. Ute outbreak. Governor Pitkin is
constantly receiving kilograms from all
over the state proffering companies of
volunteers to defend the state, or, as
some put 1t =" to wipe out the Utes."
As the governor has no power as
long as the Indians remained on their
reservation, the proffers were filed for
red erence. All of the volunteers asked
to be- equipped, but one, and he meant
business to the handle.' Her g is his
telegram:
LEADvILLE, Oct. 2.
To E. p. Jacobson:
Can authority be obtained to raise a
company of scouts for the Ute war?
Will mount ourselves. SLOAN LEE.
A negative reply was sent to the the
courageous and business-like Mr.. Lee.
People living in scattered settlements
in the Parks are going into larger towns
for protection. Gov. Pitkin will call
out militia and volunteers as soon as
the Utes are known to be off of their
reservations. At first he offered to call
out the militia to assist the United
States troops, and received the follow
ing telegram in reply:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2.
Hon Frederick w. Pitkin, Governor
of Colorado, Denver:
Your telegram to the secretary of
war has been received. 1t is believed
that measures have already been taken
WHICH will secnre the settlers, and that
there will be no necessity for calling out
state troops. The secretary of war is
at Keokuk, Iowa.

interview originated at the meeting o.
the emperors at Alexandrowe.
London: Maj. Chard and Surgeon
Reynolds of Rorke's drift fame arrived
at Portsmouth yesterday. The Duke

other distinguished officers welcomed
them.
The Arch Duke Albrecht, field mar

trian army and leader of the militar,

They Discourse Wisely on that which they
Know Nothing About. -Mush-
headed Balderdash,

New YORK, Oct. 3-The Ute out
break and its causes occupy such jour.
nails as the Herald and Tribune which
are publishing war maps, and the
absence of Schurz and Indian Commits
sioner Hayt from their posts, com.
mented upon by the press. Hayt here
told the Herald reporter that the pres
ence of troops. was the cause of the out
break.
The Herald's Washington specials of
to-day and yesterday attributed the out
break, primarily to the aggressive miners
and the failure of the government to
keep faith with the Indians, and says
Agent Meeker has proved one of the
most upright and competent men in
that branch Of public service, but he
has been handicapped by a congress
which has failed to make appropriations
for from rs to one hundred thousand
dollars that is due these Indians. Also
says: If the Indians, who are on the
reservations ceded to them by the gov
ernment under the treaty were protect
ed as they are entitled to be against ag-
gressions of wandering miners and dis
honesty of government officials, this
outbreak would, no doubt, have been
averted.
In publishing an interview with Gov
ernor Perkins yesterday, he is reported
as saying: The whites now understand
that they are liable to be attacked in
any part of the state at any time where
Indians happen to be in sufficient force,
and unless the Indians are removed by
the government they must necessarily
be exterminated. The state is willing
to settle Indian troubles at its own ex-
pense. The advantages accruing from
throwing open $4,000, 600 acres of land
to miners and settlers would more than
compensate for all expenses incurred.
The Times publishes statement sup
posed to be derived from General Sheri-
dan that Thornburgh obeyed orders in
refraining from firing on the Indians
until the attack, and that this is in
strict accordance with the peace policy
of the interior department Officers of
that department assert however, that
the army, now as always, moves inde-
pendently of the interior department,
and would not be likely to consult its
policy when attacked by Indians.

THE MASSACRE.
PROBABLE FATE OF pAyNR's
Command-No Courier in Since Mon
day Night-Th Silence of
Death-Reinforcements
Hurrying Forward.

Rawlins, Oct. 3.-No tidings from
Capt. Payne's command. The mail
from the south arrived this morning,
but as it only came from Dixon con-
tanned nothing of Importance,
Two companies of cavalry arrived
FROM the east during the night and left
for the front this morning.
Six companies of the Seventh infan-
try from the department of Dakota will
arrive here sometime tomorrow morn
ing and proceed to the front.
Lieut.. Bourke of Gen. Crooks staff
arrived at IL o'clock last night and at
2 O'Clock this morning left by private
conveyance for the front. 1t is said
that he was the bearer of important
orders to Gen. Merritt.
General Crook will arrive here to-
morrow, and will 20 forward ard as
sumo command Of the expedition and
will personally direct the movements of
the troops. The awful silence at the
front indicates that the worst may be
expected. There are now but little hopes
entertained for the safety of Captain
Payne and his command.
Troops and supplies are being sent to
the front with remarkable despatch.
Captain Gilliss, quartermaster, is giving
it his personal attention.
Gen. Merritt's command will probably
reach the camp of Lieutenant Price,
on Fertilization creek tomorrow eve
ming and is expected to arrive at the
battlefield Sunday afternoon.
The opinion of those best acquainted
with the hostile Utes, is that they are
now many miles from the scene of
Thorburgh's engagement and that the
troops will be obliged TO follow them far
into the mountains, If they succeed in
finding them at all. Should this theory
prove correct, General Crook will in all
probability follow the trail Of the Ute
families south from the agency toward
Blue river, and, by this movement, may
succeed in drawing the Utes into the
open country.
From the manner In which troops
and supplies are being sent forward,
General Crook evidently intends to
prosecute the campaign to the bitter
end.
Total number of troops sent forward
is about six hundred. Two more COM
panies of cavalry will arrive Monday,
-one from Fort Fetterman and one
from Robinson

CHIcAeo, Ills. Sept, %, 1879.
There has been a large number o
prominent weddings within the las
week, also some notable matrimonia
anniversaries.
People seem to have forgotten tha
hard times once fingered about tbei
doors, and this fall there is a genera
revival of what was a few wears aQop,
| termed s.extravao.nca -
Extravaganza not only in dress part,
and reception, but extrayaqance in ex
penditures Of all kinds. in eouipaoe and
amusement.
OF course everybody has a right te
use his own monev hut 10 .sbard,,
everybody uses poor Judgment in tbei,
outlay it will not take a century to del
uge our country once more in debt. and
we may be called upon again to learn q
useful lesson.
Very few people fond of display have
lengthy memories, and these kind OF
people can seldom bear success.
1t is a grievous fault of the Ameri.
can people that they can practice fol-
so little time any system of economy.
Some of the styles this winter are
very simple and pretty, and among
them are the coquettish little round
top hats and shirred walking suits which
young girls wear, and the plain skirts
and panier overdresses worn by old er
ladies'.
Dry goods sell for very low prices now
and at the cheap stores buyers of mod
crate means can find at all times arti-
cles, If not the best, yet good, and in
every way commen surate with their
income.
Beautiful cassimeres are sold at a
tremendous sacrifice.
A lady here owned two canary
birds which she has kept for the last
year in seperate cages, but which were
within sight of each other, and could
hear each others voice. A few days
ago one of tho little songsters died and
the lady picked it up and showed it to
its mate, which gave two or three shrill
chirps with signs of distress, and fell
down as if dead. The Lady applied cold
water to the little mourner and it re-
vived but did not sing for a whole
day.

a Hint to workingmen.

The honest workingmen ofthe country
many of whom have large and incfeas-
ing families to support, have been the
chief sufferers from the great financial
pressure under which we have labored
for the last few years. Diminished
wages have not been attended by a
corresponding diminution III price of
everything which the workingman
needs. Rents. fuel food, and clothing
are cheaper, but these do not consti-
tute all his necessities. tits sometimes
necessary for him to employ a lawyer
or physician, yet the fee rates ofphy
sicians and lawyers are as high as
they were in ''hush'' times. Yet cheap
medicines are as necessary as cheap
rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are
not necessarily poor medicines. 1t
must be obvious to every intelligent
person that medicines, compounded
and put up at wholesale, can be sold at
much lower rates than when retaiied
from the doctors pill bags. DR.. Pierce

The Army.

If the army numbered 100000 men,
instead of $4,000, the distribution of the
forces would be in the same proportion as
now. So long as the Republican party
maintains power, so long will the army be
used for political purposes instead of the
legitimate purposes for which it is intend
ed. The Republican party bases it's very
existence ON bayonets at the polls. and
Jewels in bloody outrages and devastating
wars. Built on superficial foundation
the party of sectional hatred sees defeat
as the sure outcome of the future unless
by some means the country can be plunged
into war. Every day brings fresh con-
frmatiou of the close identity of the Re-
publican party with monarchial measures.
and not until the party of sectional hate is
overwhelmingly defeated. will the full ben
efits of a free government be enjoyed and
the country restored to its former position
az the greatest republic on earth.
