The War in Eastern Kentuck

The War in Eastern Kentucky.
UPPER TYGARr, CARTER COUNTY, KY,
October Is The war in the Upper Ty-
gart country continues to grow worse
and worse. With all of the reports sent
out from this part of the country as to
how desperate the men are who are en-
gagged on both sides of this war none
have been overdrawn The outside
world see ana know. of the condition OF
affairs here through the newspaper re.
ports, which have but partially pictured
the true condition OF the people living
in the mountain recesses OF this isolated
county.
For more than a generation there has
been war between the Underwoods and
their neighbors, which from time,to time
would result in shooting scrape, and
occasionally would result in the death OF
one or more of the participants. Such
things have served TO educate the epeople
here to look upon such a state OF affairs
with hut little concern.
Old George Underwood, who was re-
ported dead, is as yet alive. He has
proved most remarkable man as to lis
constitution, he having been shot in the
leg, thigh, body, one eye shot out, woun-
ded in the head and neck, and withal
had so far recovered as to limp about
with his rifle ever ready, and two navy
revolvers, belted around his waist, on
the alert for his known enemies. But
with all of his vigilance, he was again
shot from ambush by the Holhrook party
on Friday, while near his house. He
was going toward the house, when fred
upon from the brush. the ball taking ef-
feet in the right shoulder and arm, in
flicting q dangerous and painful wound
AFTER partially recovering from the shock
he succeeded in getting to the house
commonly known as Fort Underwood

The Centennial Derby.

The Derby has probably done more to
cement and establish the turf in Eng
land than any other race. 1t is the one
race that all breeders. owners and
jockeys want to win. They NAV have
won the Guineas, st. Leger and Oaks
time and again, but without the Derby
as Keystone to the arch of triumph the
other events are but secondary honors.
In this respect the success of George
Fordham, the rider of the winner. Sir
Berys was completed. Fordham has
been on the turf for nearly twenty-five
years and had ridden the winner of verv
important race in the kingdom, but time
and time again he had been beaten for
the Derby. Last year, when he was so
Ill that he had to retire from the turf, it
was regretted by all that he could not
claim the Derby. Last winter he took
up his residence in France, owing TO bad
healt tn. In the spring he returned to
England and rode at some of the early
meetings, only to be again forced to re-
tire. lie was not seen during the Sec
'nd Newmarket spring meeting, and ac-
cording TO the last advices he could have
only returned to England few days ago
therefore to ride the winner of the Derby.
and the Centennial Derby at that, is a
hitting honor to Il career which can be
truly said to have been without reproach.
The Derby as a race was first run on the
1th OF May. l1S0, having been instituted
by the twelfth Ea of Derby as Il south
ern offs ct to the great northern race at
Doncaster, which was instituted in l776
by Colonel St. Leger. BY common con-
sent the stakes We're called "the Derby.n
by which name it has been known ever
since. 1t obtained thirty-six subscrib-
ers;, of which nine started. 1t was then
4 dash of n mile, colts carrying lI2
pounds and fillies l09. 1t was won by
Sir Charles Bunbury's Diomed, by
Florizel, with Major O'Kelly's Burdroo
second and Mr.. Walkers Spitire third.
For some few years the weights and dis
tance continued as in the initial race.
but eventually the distance was in
creased to mile and half, the weights
being raised to lis pounds and liz
pounds. They were subsequently raised
some time during the "fortiesn to I22
pounds, at which they have remained
since.-NeaO York World.

" Ella HoYarn.o

The death of Omar Kingsley at Rom
bay, India, closes the career of one who
gained widespread reputation rs Els
Ioyara, For years he appeared nc ar
equestrienne under this title In almost
every country on the globe. and few o
those who have witnessed the pracefu
performance of the beautiful Zovar,
dreamed that the performer was n man
Letters and lovers were abundant. anC
among the latter figured no less impor
tant parsonage than Victor Emmanuel
of Italy, who fell in love with the dash.
ing young rider. Soldiers and civilian.
figured also on the list of Zoyara's lovers
and dispute about her among th,
former finally caused her or him TO b,
placed in durance vile ut Manila.
Kingsley was born in st. Louis, where
his mother and sister still reside, about
lS4O. At the early age fisk travelling
circus, fired his fancy for sawdust and
spahgles, and he soon ran away from
the parental roof. He apprenticed i'm.
sell TO Spence Stokes, a circus proprietor
OF Philadelphia. Stokes trained him to
90 an equestrian act, and he soon ap-
peared under the name of Ella Zoyara.
HIS beautiful boyish face, profusion OF
rich black curly hair, and his slender
form assisted the impersonation. He
was advertised and rode under this name
Tor several years, attracting no particu-
lar attention, but keeping the secret of
his sex carefully concealed. He accom-
panied Spence to Europe, where he rode
as female in all the principal cities. In
Moscow a Russian count is said to
have fallen madly in love with him. and
offered Stokes a large sum for an intro
duction to the fair Zoyara. 1t was in
the sunny cline of Italy, however. that
the greatest conquest took place. Victor
Emmanuel saw him at the circus. and
afterward sent for him. He attended.
though accompanied by his woman SER
want, without whom he rarely appeared
in public. Emmanuel frequently at
tended the performance. and Zoyara
called upon him. The King of Italy pre-
sented him with magnificent black stall
lion, of which Stokes immediately took
possession, and .afterward sold when in
financial difficulties in Madrid.
When Ioyara returned to New York he
was advertised as thegreatest female rider
that Europe had ever seen. and crowds
were nightly attracted by his perform
ances. He rode a graceful act, was more
daring and brilliant than any eouestri
enne that had or has appeared before an
American audience, while long expert
ence enabled him to impersonate female
character in manner that almost de-
ned detection. His sex was secret even
to many of those employed in the same
establishment. He performed for one or
two seasons in the easte.n country.

ing TINS time he was married to Sallie
Stlckney, an equestrienne, daughter of

he came to California and made his debut

A Railroad that Forms a LOup,

A gentleman who has taken the rail
road ride of $50 miles from San Francisco
to Yuma, Arizona, describes the cele-
brated Loup,n one of the most notable
railroad engineering feats ever accom-
plished. He says: About four hundred
miles from San Francisco, as you awake
in the morning, you find the train wind
ing through mountain passes, sweeping
around mountain tops, and running along
frightful precipices. By taking note as
the train passed certain points, I fire.
quently found myself running along a
cliff several hundred feet high, tn bot
tom of which the train had been skirting
few minutes before, and then again
within ten minutes the snort of the loco
motive would re-echo from the bottom
of deep gulch up the sides of the very
cliffs from which we had just descended.
After, passing through several tunnels
in rapid succession, the ninth is reached.
Here the locomotive almost comes to
standstill, as if preparing for the effort
and then it dashes through up steep
grade and describing an almost perfect
oval 1t crosses over the tunnel it had four
minutes previously passed through, thus
forming loup. In making the loup the
road rises seventy eight feet in distance
of less than four thousand feet. After
making the loup we emerge into the arid
desert. This is a most desolate region,
presenting no relief to the eye from the
waste of sand. Nothing grows here. The
only thing that is raised here is an occa-
sional sand storm, binding and penetra-
ting. To get out of this sandy waste the
train dashes through the San Fernando
tunnel-piercing the mountains dis
tance of nearly seven thousand feet, and
lhen emerges into the Los Angeles val
tey, presenting picture in grateful con-
trast with the scenes just passed through.
Here the lemon and orange flourishes.

ComplexionaI Indications.

The complexion of persons whose digestion
is ont OF order, who are bilious, or who lac,,
viaoG, always exhibits an unhealthy tint 1t is
by regulating the bodily organs and promoting
digestion and assimilation, that the parchment
hue, indicative of ill-health, is banished from
the cheeks. 10 rectfy the fault of sallow
complexion, use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
an invigorint and alternative which moves
those obstac les to renewed strength, physical
comfort and personal attractiveness-an inn
perfect digestion and secretion, and disor-
dered condition OF the bowels. Persistence in
the use of this inestimable corrective and
tonic will assuredly result in renewed physical
regularity and vigor, will tend to increase
bodily substance, and cause the glow and clear
color OF health to return to the sallow, wasted
cheek
