WHAT They THINK OF "PRENT'
DoLLIvER IN THE WEsT.-The follow
ing editorial notice from the Jefferson,
Iowa, Bee in regard to an Grafton de
liyered by ]. P. Dolliver, on the 4th Of
July will be read with interest by
many of our people.
Every one on the ground was more
than repaid by the opportunity of
hearing one of the grandest orations
probably delivered in the State on
that day. j. P. Dolliver, Esq, of TT.
Dodge, is the gentleman who distin
guished himself before our people as
young orator of unusual eloeuence
and brilliance. After prayer by Rev.
Jos. Manning, music, and the read
ing Of the Declaration of Indepen
dence by Mr.. F. j. Harrington, Mr..
Dolliver was introduced. A look of
disappointment pervaded the audi
ence as beardless youth stepped to
the front of the stage and made his
obeisance. Hundreds, who were dis
gusted at the lack of shade and seat
ing capacity around the stand plan
ned an early retreat, but as the young
man proceeded in a clear, pleasant
voice, with sentences of matchless
eloquence and vigor, his hearers drew
nearer and crowded closer until no
less than two thousand faces, regard
less of heat or sun, were compressed
into as small space as could well be
imagined. x
Mr.. Dolliver has never yet cast a
ballot, having but recently arrived at
the twenty first year of his age. He
has been a resident of Fort Dodge
only about fifteen months, coming to
Iowa from the Old Dominion State.
He is engaged in the practice Of the
law, being the Junior member of the
firm of Deliver Brothers. We do
not opine that his success in oratory,
and the consequent praise and atten-
ton which follows, will tend to spoil
so sensible a young man as he APP
pears to be. All who heard bis mas
terly effort last Friday confidently ex-
pect to hear great things of him in
the future.

''On the 10th of June last / visited
the grave of Harrison Low, who was
killed by Indians in 1868 The grave
is on beautiful promontory OF ridge
extending out and forming sharp
bend in the beautiful Dearborn river,
one of the prettiest streams in the
mountains and alive with trout and
white fish. Within 20 feet of the
grave is favorite spot for fishing.
There are three other graves by the
side of Harrison's and all are the vic
tins of the so-called red men, all
murdered while in camp, but at diff
ferent times, and not expecting an
attack from the treacherous Indians
they were overpowered.
You may say to the brothers of
Harrison Low that if they will ship
to Benton next year tombstone,
that / will have it put up at their
brothers grave E. G. BROOKE.

f. G. Brooke does not recognize W.

MEANNEss.- John Ruble is
very quiet and law abiding citizen.
He attends to his business and wants
others to attend to theirs. He deals
extensively in blackberries and buck
leberries, which he sells to the town
people. On Tuesday Uncle John
brought quite large lot of black
berries to town, and while gong
from house to house, q prominent
citizen, who answers to the call of
James Reynolds, who was drunk as
usual, offered his services to Uncle
John, got into the buggy and started
around town with him to use his Gin
fuence'' in selling the berries. He
imposed his filthy presence upon
Uncle John, breaking his buggy and
wasting his berries, till forbearance
ceased to be a virtue, and Mayor
Moreland was appealed to. When
that gentleman appeared Jim de-
clared that he had bought all the
berries at four cents per gallon, and
that he was merely selling his own
berries. When forced to de-
sist from his sneaking scheme, he
cursed and abused the old man
shamefully. If there is such a thing
as ''vagrant law" in this State, it
should be brought out and Jim Rey-
nolds, the LATEST, meanest, most dis
gushing and most impudent negro Of
Morgantown, be carefully wrapped
in it and put out of the way of decent
people.

DIsTRICT CoNFERENCE.-On Tues
day, the Goth inst, the Morgantown
District Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church will convene in
Palatine, our neighboring town across
the river. This gathering, as we
have before stated, promises to be an
interesting one. Three days have
been set apart for its deliberations.
A programme has been prepared
with a view of making the occasion
not only interesting but highly in
structive throughout. All the preach
ers of the district are expected to be
present, and 1t will be an intelligent
body. The friends of this church are
respectfully invited to attend all
meetings Of the conference.
DIR. JMEsoN gave great pleasure to
his large congregation Sunday last
by announcing that the length of
services hereafter during the heat
ed season would be precisely one
hour.
WE predict that Marion county
will give majority in favor of the
single Judge plan on the 9TH day of
August of from 1000 to 800, and we
have the assurance that Marshall and
Wetzel will do equally as, well, ifnot
better.
THE GRAND STAND ALMOST DEMoL-
IsHED.-During the furious storm
last Friday evening tree was blown
down on the Fair Grounds, and fall
ing upon the grand stapd, it did very
considerable damage to that affair.
AS these grounds are now in the
hands of active men, and as they
have in contemplation an exhibition
of some kind this fall we suppose
the grand stand and everything
belonging to the association will
be put in good repair at an early
day.

RUNAwAY.-On last Thursday the
horse attached to Shean's meat wag-
on, took fright at something and ran
away. A little son of Fenton Rice's
was on the horse at the time AS
the horse turned the corner at VIM.
Watts the wagon upset against a
small maple tree breaking it down and
throwing the horse and wagon into
the gutter and the boy on the pave
ment. No serious damage. was done.
j. w. MCCOY, Esq, of Fairmont,
is announced as a candidate for
Judge of the proposed County Court
of Marion, Wetzel and Marshall
counties. If the bill carries Mr..
Mccoy is sure of election, and if cleo
ted will discharge the duties of his
office With conspicuous ability and
we predict with eminent satisfaction
to his constituents. The people of
those three counties could have made
no better selection for that position.
By the confession of a cheap

the country towns selling cheap dry
goods, it is learned that these
itinerant merchants never 90 to
towns where merchants advertise in
their local papers and show enter

over county paper and does not see
one advertisement of a merchant, he
hires team and takes his things to
that town right away.

 Ep. MISER:-Having just returned from an assessment trip to Tonto Basin, for Sheriff Walker, thought would give you little item for the paper:
 On the 10th inst the Indians attacked the ranch of Henry Sidler, on the East Fork of the Verde, drove off his stock and burnt the house, provisions, etc, and even took the harness which was hanging on tree near by and threw them m the fire. After or before this attack. on the same day, they of the Houston Bros, killed eight head of also passed through the stock range horses. seven of his best mares and fine stallion which cost him $500 gold coin in TuIare County, Cal. This statement know to be just as have represented to you, having been an eye witness.
 Everybody is rounding up their stock, and have sent man to Mcdowell. Al. sciper passed the Indians on his way to the Verde, but did not know of the trouble.
 They first entered the house and stole this mans rife and ammunition, then went on ton of hill where some men were at work i'm field and fired six oi seven shots at theri. The men started for the house to get arms. but the rcd devils had got there fir,t. The men then started for the ranch of Vim. Burch in Green Valley. l don't write this for newspaper buncombe but as matter of information to your Republican sheet.
 There is about stO,OOo worth of good properry in the Basin. Uncle Billy Ray mond .s O'Dougherty Bros mill started up the day got there. If you will give the matter boost think you can get all of inc Tonto Basin trade this way. very little money judiciously expended would make q fair road near Bakers Butte. Ip to the time left, no troops had arrived Tn the Basin; the residents out there are going to petition Gen. Wilcox for a small squad of soldiers and scouts ,o he station'd out there, Tlrey think Seiber and his scouts are tbs best Indian peace commissioners the Government has ever had in that part of the footstool.

STOCKS RECOVERING

As many of our readers are interested iD the prices of the different stocks on the San- Francisco Board, winch have of late dealt heavy blows to the brokers, we have thought the San Francisco Post of the 17th inst i: proper tocopy the following quotations from
 Ophir rose to SAX yesterday afternoon and other stocks in proportion. The ad. vance was mainly owing to the filling of short contracts, the bears having concluded to cover before work in the incline was resumed. At the close prces were slightly lower. This morning desire to sell was developed at the Pacific Exchange, and the market was shade easier. At the San Francisco Board 0phir receded to $40L, but recovered 10 $4l agaIn. Contrary 10 expectations, the other stocks were stronger from the very start. Union sold at $71; Mexi- can, $364 Sierra Nevaoa (with $2 delin- quent assessment added).

TROUBLE AHEAD.

If ,l,e President remains firm there will ,,o l;f;culty on the frontier. His preclam. ation against the settlements of whites ID The Indian Territory is openly d'sregsrded so openly in fact, that the Clerk ot the House Committee on Private Land Claims has leen detected m sending out maps and circulars setting forth tha. the lands oi tue Indian Territory are open for snefai oS, cupation. This he does in tbc intere,t p' railroad companies. Letters received at Washington state that within the last ten days companics left Kansas at two several points to invade the Territory. and the Sec rrtary of the Interior has information that a movement of whites k h progress toward the northeastern ptrt Of the Territory, oc- cupied by Quspaws, Senecss, and other small tribes, who purchased their lands from The Chcrokees. One invad ng party IS reported to have wish 1t a Printing prcSs. and tn entertain the idea of establishing a newspaper in Inc Territory. In the mean time Gencral Pope started few days sgo Co establish his headquarters at Fl.

The fear is that his troops will come in collision with the whites, hut he .r,li moi. unuer' er'hisins;ructions on that ac- eo,,nt fail to discharge his whole duty.
