NEURALGIA.

1t has been ascertained that the most ir-
veterate cases of neuralgia are cured by
Fellows Syrup of Hypophosphites' Not
only is the principal disease eradicated,
but the patient IS made vigorous and
strong: the stomach, the blood, the skin
become healthy, and he obtains new
leas of enjoyable life.
The only satisfactory treatment of neu.
ralgia is by Strengthening the nervous
system. A person with strong nerves
never suffers from this disease.
The virtues OF Fellows Compound Syr-
up of Hypophosphites are such that other
remedies are seldom required.
The demand for Hypophosphites and
other Phosp orus preparations at the
present day, is largely owing to the good
effects and success following the introduc-
ton OF this article in the United States.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Tiffany, of
the San Carlos agency, telegraphs the
Indian bureau that the Indians at that
agency are uneasy and excited in con-
nection with the approaching execu-
ton of three condemned Indian scouts,
fixed for March 3rd. He says the other
Indian prisoners are complaining of the
long confinement without a trial, and
assert that they surrendered under
pledge of a speedy and fair trial, and Of
being furnished good counsel. Tiffany
earnestly recommends the president to
postpone the execution of these scouts
until the case against the other Indian
prisoners arrested for completely in the
treachery for which these scouts were
condemned is decided. He evidently
apprehends trouble if the execution is
carried out, and says the inhabitants in
the vicinity all fear trouble with the
Indians unless the execution is post
poned. AS the war department has
control of these condemned scouts and
other prisoners ARRESTED with them,
Tiffany dispatch was sent to the secre-
tary Of war, by whom it will be sub
mitted.to the president.

Omaha, Feb. 27.-On Friday night
last Henry StroetLeck, a wealthy far
mer living in Pottawattamie county,
Iowa, not far from Council Bluffs, was
overpowered at his residence by three
masked men, who robbed him of about
ten dollars, when he escaped from them.
They recaptured him, however, and be-
lieving he had more money, as it was
known that he had drawn $1,000
from a Council Bluffs bank that day,
they attempted to force him to reveal
its hiding place. This he refused to do,
when one of them shot him in the
breast, inficting a fatal wound.
This morning about five O'Clock Joe
Bolts, a desperate colored man who has
long resided in Omaha, was arrested
here, charged with being one of the
gang and having done the shooting.
His two companions were white men,
who put up the job in Council Bluffs,
and first got a colored man named Wal
dron to go with them; but Waldron
weakened and then sent to Omaha for
Joe Bolts to take his place. On Sunday
Waldron gave the whole thing away to
the Council Bluffs officers, who came
over here and caused the arrest of Joe
Bolts. Waldron is also in Jail here, as
is also Maria Campbell, mistress of
Bolts. The two white men will proba-
bly, be arrested soon.

The Salt Lake Ladies Sound on the
Polygamy Question.
Female GentIles.

Salt Lake, Feb. ga meeting Of
the Ladies Anti-P olyamy society to-
night adopted the following:
Whereas, The petitions of the NOR
mons praying to be let alone commit
every mormon to the endorsement of
pologamy in defiance of the law, and
the frantic exertions Of the leaders re-
veal their mortal terror at the prospect
of losing political power; and
Whereas, Utah under their control
has been made the mere dependency of
a hostile creed, the rights of real citi-
ems denied, the ballot prohibited,
women d%ishonored, and every sacred
element of home destroyed, the
forbearance of the government
decided as weakness and its failure
to assert itself claimed as a Divine in
terposition in favor of the mormon
kingdom:
"Resolved, That this society, speak
ing in the name of outraged woman
hood and for 40, 900 real citizens of this
territory, beseech congress to rely no
longer on holy measures, but at once to
take from the mormons all political
privileges until they accept as sovereign
the laws of the United States. That
we fear the Edmunds bill will be found
fatally defective, like the present anti
polygamy law, because while it disfran-
chises polygamists, it provides no ma
chinery whatever for enforcing said
disfranchisement. That we believe that
a commission of sterling citizens of this
territory, given full legislative power,
working under the supervision of con-
gress, is the only real and prompt and
merciful remedy for Utah's wrongs,
Preaching at the tabernacle to-day
was very %belligerent. They said they
were extending into other territories,
and 10 power ..on earth on in hell
could stop them. The United States
might. take away their votes and be
damned. They would be damned any
how.

THE TRAMPs' SECRET ORDER.
a Discovery Made in this Respcct-A
Conversation.

Judge Bean says that the tramps
securing about the country are a reg
ularly organized fraternity, having u
general understanding with one anOth-
er, and having a ritual Of questions and
answers. Their uniform appearance,
their periodical visits to the same local
tiles, their regular calls at the same
houses where they have before procur-
ed food, all point to this. He has found
curious emblems about them, has studi-
ed their character, and listened to their
conversation, until he can tell a regular
initiated tramp from an impostCr. The
following amusing and instructive dia-
logue took place between the judge and
one of a squad of tramps recently com
mitted to jail.
"From whence came you?"
"From a town in New York, called

. Dastardly Outrage on an Iowa
Farmer.
Joe Bolts Charged With Fatally
Shooting the Man.

Omaha, Feb. 27.-Sheriff Dan Far
rell, of Mills county, Iowa, arrived at
his home at Glenwood this morning,
from Randolph, Wisconsin, having in
charge two noted train and bank rob-
bers. whom he had captured unaided.
Their names are Poke Wells, alias G.
H. Warner, and Frank johnson, alias
Bill Norris. They are charged with
being members Of the gang who robbed
the train at Winston, Missouri, in
which affair the train conductor was
shot and killed. They are also charged
with robbing a bank at Riverton, Iowa,
of $4,000.
Farrell, who got on their track some
time ago, found them keeping a hotel
at Randolph. He walked into the place
and called for Warner, or Poke Wells,
who soon responded to the call. Far
rell said, L want you. Whereupon
Wells replied, you 10; and then pulled
a revolver and commenced firing.
Farrell shot back, but being wounded
in the head fell, and Wells jumped on
him. Farrell turned him, and getting
on top finally made him surrender, and
with a revolver pointed at his head
put the bracelets on him. The sheriff
then easily captured Norris.
Farrell was wounded three times and
Wells four times; none of the wounds
proving serious, nor interfering with
their travelling. Wells and Norris have
been taken to Missouri for trial of the
train robbery and murder of the con-

Attacking a Newspaper.

Omaha, Feb. GA special from
Wahoo says: Early this morning a
party of masked men broke into the
independent office for the purpose of
destroying the presses and material.
They entered by the rear door, lighted
a lamp and commenced the work of
destruction. Suddenly they were con-
fronted by one of the publishers and a
son Of the editor, who told them to
hold up their hands. The party did so,
but one of the intruders, who had hid
behind the door, caught the pistol in
the hands of the publisher. In the
melee that ensued the burglars recov-
cred from their surprise, rallied and
overpowered those on guard, and cap
tured their pistols. The burglars then
fled, fearing discovery. Later in the
day Frank Dorsey, Bob Nye, Doane,
Benson and Beach were arrested and
bound over.
Editor Deckers says the attack was
Instituted by a member of the town
board, whose conduct has been criti-
cized by the paper. A majority of the
citizens sustain the paper.
