Editor of the Transcript:
No further, reports of assaults b,
"tramps," and they show their MARK O
common sense by making themselve
scarce in this town.
The wheat in this vicinity never look
ed better, and the farmers expect fin
crops. The heavy shower this mornint
will improve the prospect.
We are glad to hear so many of ou
citizens talk so favorably of putting .
bridge across Platte river. 1t is yer,
much needed and should be built at once
Mr.. E. A: Bowers, of Cumberland, w
Va, who is spending the summer with
Prof. r. Brown, has been engaged in
putting up sign boards to show travellers
that there is such place as Royalton. Il
they are not ornamental, they will Ger,
tainly b. very useful.
Jarrett Norris, Esq, of St. Paul, was
in town last week, the guest of Mr.. F
M. Lawhead. Mr.. Norris has abou,
eighteen hundred acres of land on the
east side Of Platte River, which he is rap
idly b. leaking, and he will soon have the
most Of 1t under cultivation.
The singing at the railroad station
Sunday afternoons, under the leadership
of Prof. Robert Brown, is good and we'll
attended. The agent, Mr.. F. A. Hardy,
has given the use of the waiting room for
that purpose, and they are to be held
once In two weeks at 3:3OP. NJ. All
who can possibly attend are cordially ln>
vited to- do so next Sunday.
Mr.. T. A. Hardy, agent for the Rock
Island Plow Co., is meeting with good
success. He is selling plows very
reasonably, and they are taking the
lead in this vicinity.
J. D. Logan, ESQ.,, of Middlesex,
Pa, arrived on the 10th inst. with
his extensive machinery for the new
steam saw mill which is being erected
on Platte river, a short distance from
the railroad station, and will be ready
for business in about twenty days with
facilities for turning out from ten to
fifteen thousandfeet per day. AS soon
as the lumber is sufficiently dry the
machinery for dressing will lie put in
operation. Mr.. r. G. Young, of Two
Rivers, takes an interest in the mill,
and the firm will be under the title of
J. D. Logan & Co., whom the public
will find to be perfect gentlemen, and
disposed to do everything in their
power to accommodate their custom-
ers, and at reasonable prices. Persons
contemplating building in this vicin>
ity would do we'll to postpone doing
80 until they can be supplied from this
place.: The public congratulate them>
selves that with these live men and
plenty of good land pleasantly situat>
ed for sale at low prices, Royalton in
q short time will not be far behind
the most aourishing towns on the line
of the Northern Pacific.

EE Politically, this years town elec-
tious in Connecticut are as barren Of sig
nicance as such elec ions we'll could be.
The Republicans have made gains in two
or three important towns, but for these
they are confessedly indebted to exciting
local issues. There has been no stam-
pede Of voters in either direction, both
parties substantially holding their own.
In many of the towns the turning
question on Monday, was whether the
sale Of liquors during the coming year
should or should not be licensed. So
far as the results indicate any change in
public sentiment, it appears to he in fa-
vor of rum. Several towns which voted
No License last year vote License this
year, and among them is Norwich. At
our latest advices the Rev. Dr.. Bacon
(Junior) had not yet shaken the dust OF
Norwich from off his shoes. ,-
The people made short work with the
two constitutional amendments that. had
successfully run the gauntlet of two sue
cessive General Assemblies. The first

voted down by majorities SO decisive

AFatal FAN.

Friday evening, q little after 4 o'clock,
as the children we're descending from the
upper rooms of the school building, Al
bert, the little II yearsold son Of VAL
entine Haas, was plavfully leaning his
weight against the railing as he fripped
down the stairs when, in some nnaccount-
able way, he lost his balance and was
hurled with great force to the steps be-
low, q, distance of nearly 80 feet, striking
another railing in his descent. The pus
pills were horri6ed, expecting him to be
dashed to pieces by the fall, and their
cries soon brought the Janitor and Su-
perintendent McBurney to the spot. AT
first the little fellow did not appear to
be seriously hurt, but after being taken
home he grew rapidly worse. All that
medical skill could do was done for him
but the injuries to his brain were fatal
and death ended his suferings in a little
more than four, bours. : The bereaved
family have the sympathy Of all in their
hour Of terrible affiiction. 9 Guernsey

"What is the cause of the uprising of
the Utes ?" the correspondent inquired
"rhe system Of managing Indian af-
fairs" Gen. Pleasanton replied. I'm the
first place, the agent at White River had
no business to plough up the land around
the agency. The land belongs to the
Indians. They alone have the right to
say to what use it will be put. The
agency system is fraud any way The
agents business is to deal out supplies
to the Indians. He is not charged with
either their salvation or their civiliza.
ton. 1t is not bis business to make
them plough if they prefer to hunt -
Depend upon it, the agent has plougbed
mp ground to raise corn to sell to the
Indians When the Indians raised a
disturbance poor Thornbureh was given
three companies of cavalry mounted on
stiff legged horses, heavy, cumbersome
wagons loaded with supplies, and scout
to show him the way to the agency
Indian signs were observed near Milk
River. The wagons were left behind,
and Thornburgh with a detachment OF
his troops, rode around a canon, where
1T was believed an ambush had been laid,
to get upon the flank of the Indians -
They then rushed in between him and
his wagons, ou,flanking him, and attack
ed in front and behind. Thornhurgh
and thirteen of his men were killed in
trying to get back to their wagons.
"The Ute country Is rich in minerals
White men have entered the Indian lands
| in prospecting parties The Govern.
ment has failed to keep its treaty obliga-
tions with the Utes, and a war Is the re-
suit. If the Government would obey
the very letter of treaty stipulations
there would be no Indian wars But the
Government does not give the Indians
the protection it promised. 1t insists
upon educating the Indian when he does
not want TO be educated 1t insists up.
on making farmer of him when ht
wishes to hunt. Agents swindle the
tribes out of their supplies, and wber
the outraged Indians put on the wal

first principles of Indian warfare are
sent to subdue them What wonder thai

CE-At the second international Congress on
the Observance of Sunday, held recently at
Berne, Switzerland, Mr.. Alexander Lombard
said: a,.
..You who by word or stroke Of the pen SO
easily do away with the Sunday, and with it
those peaceful and holy meetings in which
young men and old, the husband and wife,
parents and children, met beneath the eye of
God, permit US to ask you, what will remain
to the workman and the laborer in the world
without God that you dream of? What will
happen but that they will become devoted to
material enioyments and too gross sensual
pleasures? The inevitable consequence must
be the impoyerishment of the race, and the
gradual weakening of the faintest notion of
individual and social morality. Short sighted
philosophers, your end will have been attained.
Churches will be closed, or you will see there,
as ia too frequently the case already, only wo-
men, children and aged men. But, on the
other hand, you will have filed the drinking
shops, the haunts of impurity, and the prisons;
you will have sown the seed of every discord
and ensured the enslavement of workingmen
Of every type to modern plutocracy and to q
reinless industrialism."
DR.. Mandach discussed the subject from a
hygienic point of view, and suggested COM
mittee to make inquiries and to obtain statis-
tics. He proposed that eight towns in France
and America should be selected for examina'
ton, half Of them to be those places in which
the Sabbath was observed and the other hall
where it was not kept. - gf 8

Medicated Ice.

DR.. Edwyn Andrew, Of Shrewsbury
England, has pointed out the advantages
in certain surgical and medical cases Of
employing medicated ice. He thought
the cold was rendered more effective by
being combined with She active princi.
ples Of drugs, and BY freezing various
medical solutions. In the manner ice
might be rendered highly antiseptic,
caustic, or styntic. In medical cases,
especially OF The throat, stomach, and
hemcrrhages from internal organs, ice
might be thus pleasantly used to relieve
symptoms and at the same time convey
medicine as, food to the stomach when
the latter would resist them in any other
way. its''' ,le
