The PRESIDENT

Washington, Aug. 23.-The record Of the
day up to the closing Of the White house at
10 O'Clock tonight has been one OF increased
hope. Since yesterday morning there has
been no change in any OF the symptoms for
the wore, and all indications point in the
right direction. While the condition contin.
ues critical. it is BY no means hopeless, and
there have been no honest grounds for the
sensational reports circulated yesterday and
to-day.

dition of the President says: As very consid.

F E. Sage has a choice lot OF timely

IT W. Langley was down the road last
week and stopped at the principal towns be-

general inquiry for sheep among the farm
ers, and says there will be a large demand
for the Heecy tribe.
John Day, a well known Texas cattle
man, who has been driving cattle to Kansas
for years psst, has gone into the sheep bus
ines.. He has purchased from F. E. Sage,
1000 ewes, graded, paying IS 90 per head.
Mr.. Day will tske these sheep to his ranch
80 miles east Of Fort Griffin.
Three sheep Aocks belonging to three
different owners, became mixed up into one
band last week, and ths separation was no
easy job. The sheep were placed in the stock

FOUND DEAD.

James Csrlin, u section boss on the rail-
road between this point and Ridgevay, nine
miles east, was found dead near Fort Dodge,
Tuesday evening at about six O'Clock, BY the
soldiers. Carlin left this city Tuesday morn
ing, in company with driver OF q buggy
from the Dodge House stables, and another
per-on, for his home at Ridgeway. He was
in an intoxicated condition, and when found
bottle of whisky was lying by his side.
DR.. Chouteau made a pos,mortem examina-
ton, but no marks OF violence were found.
The blood vessels we're congested, and the
spinal column sustained an injury, probably
from the fall Of the body to the ground.
Carlin persisted in getting out OF the buggy
on the trip, and beyond the for, he left the
buggy, saying he would walk the way, then
few miles from bis destination. We are
informed that he mistook the slaughter pen
for The station. The party left here at six
o'clock and the driver returned at nine 8. IN.
At ELK O'Clock in the evening the body was
found dead as stated. Money and valuables
we're found on his body. and there Is good
reason for surprising that the deceased came
to his death from the effects Of the whisky
and hot sun. The deceased was about forty
years Of age. The body was buried in Prai-
RE Grove Cemetery, by the Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows, Of which order the de-
ceased had been a member.
Coroner Straughn held an inquest and the
jury returned verdict that the deceased
cane to his death from congestion Of the
brain, caused by exposure to the sun and the
effects of dissipation.
