1t is to be regretted that the South, with
the exception of Texas, has done so little
in sheep-breeding, and that our State
falls so far below the number of sheep we
should raise. 1t is estimated from the
reports of the Land-office in Washington,
IN 1877, that the Southern States, except
Texas, had only one sheep for every 100
acres, while Ohio has one sheep for about
7 acres, and Washington county, Penn
sylvania, alone, has 100000 sheep. Tex
as, in 1878, had 1914, 700, and Tennessee

States, viz, $4,000. California, in 1878,
had 6,56100O. TIP.

PREVENT
YELLOW FEVER

1t has been well proved that prevention Is
better than cure. A very simple and effec-
tive preventative for Yellow Fever and other
fevers has been found in BENSON'S CAP
CINE POROUS PLASTERS. They were
used during the last season in New Orleans
very successfully, the common method of u.s.
ing them was to apply them over the stomach.
changing them every week. They are one of
THE MOST ACTIVE ANTISEPTICS and
seem to destroy the poison. One reason why
they are of special value is that they stimu-
late the digestion and thus enable the system
to overcome the influence of the malarial
poison. They are a cheap and almost certain
preventative. Ask your physician about
them. Benson's Capcine Plasters are sure
preventative and cure for chills and fever if
worn as above. Price % cents.

Murders in Indian Territory.

Chetopa, Kas., Feb. 26.-For a long
time past the leading men of Indian
Territory have made strenuous efforts
to prevent the reports of murders being
circulated through the papers of the
country. Consequently not half of the
crimes committed there are given pub
licity.
Reliable persons just from the Terri
tory report that two men were MUIR
dered few days ago near Carris ferry.
The affair grew out of the father of one
of the men accusing the mother of the
other man of stealing hogs. Also that
short time ago two men were murder
ed near Toliquat and Fort Gibson, one
Of whom was killed for his money.
No effort it is said has been made to
arrest these murderers.

WAR FOR WORK.
AGITATION IN SAN rRAxorsoo.
Few Departure OF The Norlsingmen--
The Relief Committee Reports
No Progress-Organizing
Vigilance Committee.

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-There was
no parade of the workingmen to-day,
and the meeting at the saud lots was
comparatively tame.
Cannon, chairman of the committee,
reported that after this week the COM
mittee would cease calling on the en-
ployers of Chinese, and the week day
meetings at the sand lots would be dis
continued.
Cries of "agitate" were heard, and
Cannon said we will agitate in differ
ent way.
His speech was principally devoted to
comments on the recent meeting of the
merchants, with view of raising SUBJ
scriptions for the benefit of unemployed
workingmen, several of whom he abused
roundly.
A meeting Of the merchants
was held this afternoon to
hear the report of the committee ap-
pointed to concert relief measures.
There was very sm all attendance and
the report was not submitted. The
committee stated that since their last
meeting the incendiary language of the
agitators had put the mercantile COM
munity in frame of mind in which it
would be of little use to approach them
for contributions. The feeling seemed
to be that they were ready to assist the
unemployed. but wanted to wait and
see the result of the agitation.
The meeting adjourned without ac-
tion and the impression seemed to be
that the project had fallen through un-
til such time as more temperate coun-
sells might prevail among the working
men.
Considerable inquiry to-day among
gentlemen supposed to be interested in
the reported vigilance committee move
ment failed to draw out any direct in
formation on the subject. but there is
good reason to believe that the report
is well founded, and that thorough or
ganization exists. 1t is understood
that Kearney has gone to Sacramento.
The Call this morning says secret
meeting for the purpose of organizing a
vigilance committee was held last night
in the Palace hotel The avowed OBJ
ject Of the organization is the suppress
sion of any possible riot which might
occur in the agitation movement.

Eastern and Southern Members Op.
posed to the West, but Defeated.
Washington, Feb. 26.-The final ac-
tion of the house of representatives to-
day on the subject of providing for the
continuance of the star mail service
during the remainder of the current
fiscal year was substantially victory
for the western and southwestern MEM
bers, and defeat of the committee on
appropriations, the latter bringing in
the proceedings only, when they per-
ceived that the opposition to their or
iginal measure had gained too great
strength to be any longer resisted. The
opposition was directed mainly against
the proviso bill, by which the committee
attempted to reduce the service to the
terms of the original contracts in every
case where the number of trips has
been increased at an additional cost not
exceeding $4,000 per anuum.
Representative Page led this opposi-
tion in a very spirited and effective
manner, his off-hand speech being not
only the first but the strongest that
was made to-day on that side of the
question. He showed that the proviso,
while leaving the mail service of the
southern and eastern states untouched,
would directly strike down not less than
lO7 important mail routes in the Pacific

rELEGRAPHIC TROUBLES.
Tho American Union Restrained from
Using tho X. Z. Poles.

Denver, Feb. .26.-The contest be-
tween the Western Union telegraph
Company and Mr.. Gould's new tele-
graph company ycommenced here to-day.
It has been announced that the Ameri-
can Union would supplant the Western
Union company on the Union Pacific
roads, but it had not transpired how
this was to be effected in view of exist
ing contracts. 1t seems that the
Western Union company discovered
that large telegraph batteries were be-
ing secretly erected in the Office of the
Kansas Pacific railroad, and that new
line of telegraph was covertly con-
structed from these batteries to point
in the central part of tie city, and that
by coup d'etat the whole telegraph line
from here to Kansas City could be
seized and controlled by connecting it
with the new batteries, and the West
ern Union dispossessed. To prevent the
consummation tof any such act, the
Western Union company last night
fled its bill in the district court Of Ar
apahoe county against the American
Union telegraph company and the Kan
sas Pacific railroad company, applying
for an injunction, which was granted
this morning by Judge Elliott. The
injunction restrains the Kansas Pacific
railroad company from permitting the

Paris, Feb. 26.-The inhabitants Of
st. Petersburg are beginning to attrib-
ute the students with all the recent
menaces and crimes there. Threats
consequently, are heard on all sides
against the students, and the inhabitants
affirm that if any criminal act occurs
on the anniversary of the emperor's
accession, they will hold the students
responsible, burn down the university
and lynch every student who falls into
their hands.
The government, therefore. is now
forced to take measures for protecting
the students.
