A REvoLTIEG OUTRAGE-It falls to
our lot this week to record one of the
most diabolical outrages that was ever
perpetrated in this country. The circum-
stances are these:
MIR. A. B. Humphrics and his wife,
living four miles from town, near Sardis
Church, on Wednesday evening left their
infant daughter, aged about years and
8 months, in the care Of a negro boy,
named Ed. Holmes, aged about IG years,
while they went to church. On their re-
turn the mother discovered that the Child
was very bloody and her screams brought
neighbors to the house. DIR. Beatty was
Immediately sent for, and upon examina-
ton discovered that the little creature
rad becn outraged in most horrible
manner. AS tie parents went into The
house the negro boy passed them, going
out, and at last report was at large but
we thir', he cannot long escape the
vigilant search of the excited citizens
who are after him. 1t is supposed to be
impossible for the child to live. The
simple recital of this most revolving out
rage makes the blood curdlc in our veins.
= Union Times.
Ffom The GreenviHc New,, 27h inst.
a deputy sheriff of Union passed
through Greenville yesterday morning
for Columbia, having in his custody a
negro boy about IL years old, who had
outraged little two-year-old daughter
OF respectable gentleman in that coun-
ty. The deputy was fleeing with the
green-eycd monster to save him from the
wrath of an enraged community, and
from what we can gather, he made {,
narrow escape if he reached Columbia
in safety. The villains tender victim is
said to be in very critical condition
and cannot recover.

1t will thus be seen that the fever this
year has advanced much more rapidly
than it did in 1873. The deaths for the
second week have been double those for
the second week of that year, and the
third week had commenced with an even
higher average increase.

COMPARATIVE FEVER STATEMENT
How does the spread of the fever in
Memphis this year compare with the ep-
it:emic of 1872 is question often asked.
Has it been more rapid or slower; more
fatal or less so? The first death from
yellow fever in Memphis last year oc-
Cured thirty-seven days later than this
year-on August 16, when two persons
died. The fever came this year early in
ju;y-the iGttti-Whien thfieTo were .hrrUlss
death. The record for the first sixteen
days of the. epidemics of 1873 and 1879
compare as follows:

The Utes.

The following extract from the Colombo
Springs Gazette gives an insight into the
character of those Indians and tells q we'll
what the government may expect If they
really 90 on the war path:
We suggested to Mr.. Joseph Kenyon yes-
terdsy that the Ute Indians were cowardly
fellows; that they had been peaceful towards
the whites for twenty years, and that the
prospect of trouble with them was not at all
alarming. We made these suggestions 10
Mr.. Kenyon not 60 much because We were
thoroughly convinced Of their accuracy, but
because We desired to draw from him the
expression OF his opinion on the matter
which from his long experience in frontier
life and his familiarity with the tribe in
question could not be other than valuable.
Mr.. Kenyon promptly took the negative
upon every proposition advanced BY US.
"Cowards," said he, with rome emphasis,
"the Utes towards; why they are the brav-
est Indians in the world. But they've got
sense, they've got intellect, and as long as
that willy old scoundrel Ouray could control
them they we're peaceable. Ouray knows
when he is well of. He owns plenty Of
horses and cattle; he's rich, and be knows
that war means poverty to himself and his
Indians. Old Colorow though is bad; is bad
clear through; he's all Indian, and he has
been spelling for q fight. He has now got
control of the Utes, and he means mischief.
''Now just to illustrate the disposition Of
the Utes. In 1868 was appointed BY Lin
colin to conduct delegation from five tribes
Of the plains Indians to Washington for the
purpose of making q treaty. While We
were at the capital party of eight Utes ar
rived and a. soon as they learned of the
presence Of my party they could hardly be
restrained from attacking them. There
were twenty-five in my party, and yet these
eight wild Utes would not have hesitated
minute 70 attack them if they had not been
restrained.
81 believe that il the Utes once 20 on the
war path in earnest, We shall have one Of
the worst Indian wars on record. There is
no telling the number of warriors they can
muster. don't believe there are regular
soldiers enough in our army TO whip the
Utes. They don't love the whites, but their
good sense has kept them quiet, though they
have been dissatisfied for long time. They
have been getting ready for 6ght for five
years, and unless they retire from the con-
test Of their own accord, there will be a
bloody var.

The sheep industry is attracting great at
tention in all parts of Kansas. The Harper
Times says last fall Judge Bsyne brought to
his ranch. few miles southeast of An.ho-
ny, flock of five hundred head grade me-
rinos. These sheep were in poor condition
when brought into the county, but soon
picked up, and are now perfectly healthy
and in fine condition. The clip from this
flock was nearly 1900 pounds Of wool, and
brought l6s cents per pound, realizing over
$3.50 to the owner for the wool alone. Sew
ersl locations have been since selected for
ranches in the county, and this fall the
sheep will be brought In to stock them.

The Independent Convention.

Iu6 uOopouOeuI OOuVoutlOu.
The Independent Convention which was
held in Dodge City on Saturday last, is re-
earded as the best conducted political con.
vention which ever assembled in Ford coun-
iy. The call was signed BY large number
Of prominent citizens, and the selection of
delegates was made in accordance with q
fair and expressed wish Of the people. The
convention met, and the utmost harmony
and good order prevailed during lite pro-
cesdings. There was no wrangle, no jar and
no discord-net Q single word of Dissent.
The nominations were all made unanimous
ly with great satisfaction. Under all these
circumstances We confidently look for the
election Of all the candidates BY rousing
msjorities. Having sought the wishes OF
the people in the nominations made, it is
gratifying TO know that these wishes will be
regarded until the last ballot is cast. Every
man interested in the selection of good Off
Gers will put his shoulder TO the wheel and
press on to victory. The satisfaction and
good order in the convention guarantees
success in the election. No ticket was eyer
nominated with better assurances of victory.
No body of men ever before adjourned from
thei. labors who were better satisfied or
more determined in making victory at the
polls. There was unity and harmony in
the beginning, and there will be unity and
harmony TO the end-resulting in grand
achievement, glorious success. triumph
ant election of every nominee of the con-
vention. The ticket is good one. 1t will
be elected by large majority. There is q
host Of energetic workers who have victory
inscribed on their banners.

ty Sheriff Hines was probably fatally
stabbed last night, being mistaken, it
is thought, for another person who he

ened with death by the father Of girl
whom he had wronged.
A dispatch from Washington says
Gen. Grant, in a letter to Admiral
Ammen, acknowledges the receipt of o
letter from the admiral in regard to
the mission of Thomas De Franco,
representative Of the Nicarauguan
government, who has come to this
country to aid in the formation Of a
company to construct the Nicaragua
canal. Gen. Grant says he will be in
Philadelphia on the 10Th of Decem-
Der, where he would be pleased to
meet De Franco and exchange views
upon the object Of his visit. There is
considerable speculation as to whether
General Grant will Immediately ac-
cept the task Of the organization Of
the company. 1t is said the salary
proposed is $4,000 a year until the
canal is in working order, when it is
agreed to increase it to $4,000.
The Tribune editorially calls atten-
ton to the whisperiugs about the
trouble in the state treasury, and ask;
Governor Robinson Is it true you
have had reason to suspect the action
of your state treasurer? Is it true
that your comptroller has reported tC
you that he cannot get the proper
statement from the state treasurer
and is apprehensive? Is it true tha
you have finally felt forced to emplo.
an expert named Richard Milks, whom
you have put into the treasury to ex
anime it and from whom the report
are bad?

EEelnboId's Buchu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been known
rs one of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes Of diseases, such
as dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, dropsy
cutaneous affections, and especially afec-
tons of the urinary organs. AS a diuretic,
it is superior to almost any other medi-
ci Elm use, and the great care with which
it prepared, the absolute purity of the
preparation, and the diligence used in the
selection of the crude material, have made
it known far and wide as reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
always be used with safety and benefit.
The great success Of Helmbold's Buchu
has led 10 the production of many spur
ious preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market to be sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation. Parties who desire
really good medicine should be careful
and use Helmbold's only.

chronicled was committed Saturday,
at farm some ten miles north of this
place. The victims, two German
brothersnamed Echenand, were husk
ing corn when John N. and Robert
Taylor, also brothers, came along on
horseback, dismounted and saying
they we're now going to settle a feud
which had existed between families,
and Immediately began stabbing one
brother, who fell with knife thrust
through the lung, They then turned
upon the other Echenand, who being
unarmed attempted to escape. They
caught him and plunging knife into
his neck severed the jugular vein.
One brother died soon after and the
other was dying last night. The mur-
derers escaped and officers are in
pursuit.
