THE ST. FRAN is RIVER MAIL
SERVICE.
Proposition to Have it Restored
Direct from Memphis.
A Matter for the Cotton Exchange
10 Consider.

The following correspondence ex-
plains itself, and the business men o.
Memphis should act upon it at once.
1t may be explained that the revenue
directly derived from the postOfices
on the st. Francis does not represent
the importance of the service. We
have been reliably informed that these
Offices supply themselves largely with
stamps from the Memphis postof6ee as
q matter of convenience, and that
many of the merchants and planters Of
that region obtain postage stamps by
the quantity through the merchants
they deal with here. The great bulk
of the trade Of that river is tributary
to Memphis and it is the mail going
from here which is to be considered
rather than that which comes away
and pays direct revenue TO the gov
eminent through the Offices in that
section. The main question, however,
is whether the people of that region
are to have q direct mail service to
the metropolis where they sell their
produce and buy their goods or trust
to the luck Of roundabout and unreli
able routes. Here is the correspond
once:

"Gath," who knows little about
everything in general and less about
anything in particular, says concerning
West Point cadets: "There are no
pockets in the trousers of the West Point
cadets, nor in their coats either. The
cadets wear no vests, and are trained to
do without pockets. They are left free
to choose between putting their hand
kerchiefs in their caps or breasts. The
authorities say they must not use tobac-
co. They are not allowed to carry
money, and the ones who govern them
do not see what need they have for
pockets. When the "plebs" first
arrive they swagger around with their
hands in their pockets, and, in fact, dc
not seem to know where else to put them
One of the secrets of making soldiers
at the military academy is by deprivine
the students Of pockets and compelling
them to allow their hands and arms te
seek the center Of gravity"

Bloodshed Anticipated In the Indian
Territory.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, August A.
Serious complications, which may lead
to a general Indian war, have arisen
in the Indian Territory. The trouble
began in the northwestern part of
the Creek Nation, last week, by the
arrest Of criminal and his comrades
for the murder of his jailor, Captain
Scott, by gang of Sandsmen.
United States Marshal Beck, who
was in Fort Smith yesterday, gives
the following view of the situation:
Monday night, the Sandsmen camp,
on Recon creek, miles from Musco-
gee, was in command of noted des-
perado named Dick Glass. Chief
Checot, of the Creek Nation, was in
camp Is miles distant with $50 men,
and citizens and Indians are still COM
ing to his aid. He says that when his
command reaches 800 he will arrest
the IL slayers of Captain Scott. The
Sandsmen called on Agent Tufts, at
Muscogee, who advised them to sur
render the men wanted by the author
tiles, as the only means of preventing
bloodshed This they emphatically
refused to do, and declared their in
tention to stand by their comrades to
the bitter end. Great excitement
prevails over the nation, as matters
now stand, as the Glass gang must
either dispense and let Captain Scots
murderers take their chances with the
officers, or much bloodshed will fol-
low.
