In response to the announcement
published in the REVIEW some
dozen veterans of the late warmet in
CannOn's Hall last Friday evening
for the purpose Of discussing the
feasibility Of forming a Post of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. The
meeting was called to order and Col.
{. G. Bradshaw chosen Chairman,
and Charles Sweeny Secretary. The
object Of the call was formerly an
nOunced to the Chair, and several Of
those present spoke on the subject,
the general impression being that no
difficulty would be experienced in
completing an organization. On
motion committee on permanent
organization was appointed, consist
ing of Col. c. G. Bradshaw, S. G.
Hyde and Charles Sweeny. A Sec
Ond committee for the purpose of so
Letting names for membership con-
sisted Of p. Pferdner, w. Shull and
II. w. Forrest was appointed by the
Chair. The meeting adjourned sub
ject to the call Of the Chairman. We
are informed that the committee to
secure the names of old soldiers
willing to join a Post have been very
successful, and that the indications
are favorable for a very strong
charter membership. Announce
ment Of the next meeting will be
made through the columns Of the
REVIEW.

About o'clock Monday morning
as two intoxicated Indians were
vending their weary way towards
their tapees pitched somewhere on
the north bank Of the river their at
tention was attracted by a number
of gaudy blankets in a Chinese camp
just at the foot Of the slight ridge on
Big Island, few yards east of the
third bridge. Their cupidity was at
once aroused and the wild sons Of
the back country decided to have
one Of the blankets, cost what it
might. They proceeded stealthily to
the camp and seizing the bedding
started of. The performance aroused
the Celestials, and seeing their prop
erty walking away under the arm Of
the thief, they started to regain pos
session Of the same. The whole
gang followed the Indians as far as
the bridge, but here the ardor Of all
but two Of them gave out. Those
two continued the pursuit of the red
men to the north side of the bridge
when the pursued gathered up some
rocks and charged upon the pursu-
ers. Before they could get beyond
reach both Of the Cinnamon were
struck, one Of them falling upon the
bridge. One Of the infuriated Indi-
ans picked up rock as large as a
mans head and threw it with all his
force into the face Of the PROSTATE
heather producing most frightful
wounds. As the other Chinaman
Had escaped and thinking they had
killed the one on the ground the In
dians made themselves scarce. The
injured Chinaman, whose name was
given as Y HO, was taken to DR.. ].
NJ. MOrgan's office. His face was a
sickening sight, covered with cuts,
bruises and blood. There was one
cash on the top of the head and two
other long deep cuts over the eyes.
DIR. Morgan, In his usual careful and
skillful manner, examined the hurts,
sewed up the wounds and admins
tered to the sufferer. From the cut
over the left eye he removed several
small pieces Of bone, showing that
the s';ull had been pu.verized by the

As will be observed by a very con-
SpiCuous advertisement in this issue,
not to mention the many square
yards Of pictorial paper that illumi-
mates every dead wall in the city,
Sherman & Humans Great Euro
pean Circus will give one perform
ance in Spokane Falls next Monday
evening. This justly celebrated
troupe has been playing to large and
enthusiastic crowds throughout Ore
gon and Washington, and the press
everywhere speaks in fllttering
terms of the performance. On the
occasion of the visit to this city we
expect to see the canvas crowded,
and feel justified in promising a good
show. The Walla Walla UaiOR says:
"Thurday morning Sherman's circus
pitched their in this city, and ut .
O'Clock gave a matinee which was
well attended. We can truthfully
say, to express ourselves mildly, that
this troupe is far ahead of the nickle-
plate circus which "did" the city
some time ago. The trained horses,
bareback riding, etc, could not have
been better. The evening perform
ance was greeted with large house,
and every one left feeling satisfied
that they had received their moneys
worth"

J. F. McElroy, our station agent,
informs us that it is his intention to
decorate the passenger depot elabor-
ately on the occasion of the visit Of
the large party Of railroad officials
and their friends who are expected
here after the driving Of the last
spike, and I'm order to make the
decorations as attractive as possible
he asks the aid Of the people Of Spo-
kane Falls. All those who have flags
or streamers are respectfully request
cd to contribute the same toward the
object, he insuring their return after
use. McElroy is also desirOus of
making a collection of the products
of this part of the territory for the
purpose of exhibiting them on the
occasion, and any one who has sam
pies of growing grain, or other farm
products, will confer a favor by al
lowing him to use them for a day or
two. This idea is a good one and
we would impress 1t upon the farm
er5 that an exhibit Of the kind pro-
posed will be no disadvantage to the
county. The people out on the trip
are anxious to see what there is in
country, and a display Of grain would
be the best means Of enlightening
them upon the capabilities of the
soil. Give Nc helping hand in his
effort to make the crew glad they
came out to the Falls.

FORT CGUR D'ALENE, Aug. lG, 'S3.
EDITOR REVIEW
Dear Sir: The people Of this
beautiful and enchanting place were
aroused from their lethargy by the
arrival Of a distinguished party Of
ladies and gentlemen Tuesday. The
party consisted of the following per-
sons: Hon. w. II. Armstrong, U. S.
Commissioner Of Railroads, wife,
daughter, son and sister-in-law, Mrs.
carp, Mr.. Hazard, U. S. Railroad
Engineer Interior Department, all Of
Washington, d. c., Gen. Coils, wife
and son, of Philadelphia, Pa. Gen.
Coils was a distinguished officer dur
ing the war Of the rebellion, having
commanded a brigade in the army Of
the Potomac, and now one OF the
most prominent citizens of Phila-
delphia.) ]. NJ. Buckley, Assistant
General Manager n. p. II. r., and
son, J. J. Browne and wife, Prof. J.
NJ. Tiernan and wife and A. NJ. Can
non and wife, OF Spokane Falls. The
party arrived at Rathdrum by special
train at II A. NJ. on the 14th inst.
At that point carriages were in wait
ing which conveyed them to the
fort, arriving at 2 p. NJ, where they
embarked in boats and spent the
afternoon fishing on the lake. In
the evening the party were invited
to a reception at the house Of Gen.
Wheaton, where they.were kindly
entertained by the General and his
amiable wife, assisted by the officers
Of the garrison and their wives.
After refreshments had been par
taken of the military band gave a
special concert Of classical music, a
temporary pavilion having been
erected for the purpose in front Of
the Generals residence. The next
morning the whole party went on
board the government steamer and
spent the day on the lake viewing
the beautiful scenery, which was
pronounced by the party to be the
most exquisite in the northwest
country. All expressed themselves
delighted not only with the scenery,
but with the hearty reception accord
ed them by General Wheaton and
his staff, so much 50 that they con-
template another visit in the near
future. We understand that the
party were the invited guests Of
Prof. TieTnan who had made all
preparations for the trip.

IT is said that the people Of a pOr-
tion Of the county are considerably
wrought up over the false report in
circulation that Spokane Falls is en-
deavoring to divide the county. 1t
is gas alLthrown away, for such an
idea has never emanated from this
city. When the charge was first
made we took the trouble to inter-
view our leading citizens and one
and all expressed entire ignorance
of any such proposition. If there is
a move on foot looking to partition
of this county it starts from some
other quarter. The time will be
when the county is sure to he divid-
ed, as it is now too large, and when
it does we are willing to talk on the
subject calmly and reasonably. For
the present we are willing to let
things take their course.

Twas eve. The last parting rays
Of the dying sun were kissing the
fringe of fleecy clouds with rosy lips,
and in modest diffidence they blushed
crimson at the liberty. A soft and
gentle zephyr stirred the blade-like
foliage of the pines, cooling the ar
dent air. A hush was on all nature,
and naught but the signing breeze
and low murmur of the distant cata-
ract broke on the ear. The full-faced
moon, preparing for his nocturnal
flight, just peeped above the hills,
but family discernible crowding -
closely on the orb Of day. Beneath
the vibrating branches of a noble
pine, but knowing naught of the sur
rounding beauty and holy calm,
stretched the body of a magnificent
physical specimen Of man. The
massive brow and finely shaped head
indicated that once reason, and per-
ceptiOn,and understanding had there
held court, and might, if properly
applied, ,haye swayed for good or bad,
anation. The clear-cut features, once
handsome, though now blank with
ineXpressiveness, may have been a
shrine ut which some fair mortal had
wOrshiped. The muscular and SYM
metrical form showed that erstwhile
that frame was tenanted with health
and vigOr far above the average.
But earth, and sky, the glorious and
luminous satellites OF heaven, the
world and all that in it is were be-
yOnd the ken Of those sightless eyes.
Animation had fed, and only the
shell, the clayey mould, the perish
able husk, remained. The spOrtive
wind dallied with the silken locks,
and famed a chilliness to the marble
brow, but could not awake a spark of
reason in the senseless brain. Locked
in the embrace Of a demon more
powerful than the most despOtic pO-
tentate, who, hideous even in his in
visibility, had robbed the mortal Of
sight, and hearing, and the other
senses Of the many that are ingredi-
ents of the human structure, he lay
there exposed to the public eye,
striken down in his manhood, a sad,
sad commentary on the wages Of sin,
most intensely and persistently dead
drunk.

accordance with a pre-arranged
programme Especial train containing
the United States Railroad Commits
siOner and his party arrived at this
city quite early Tuesday morning.
The train consisted Of one elegantly
equipped Pullman palace sleeper
and a dining and baggage car COM
bined. Arrangements had teen
made Monday by several Of our citi-
zens 10 meet the party and drive
them about the city and falls. At s
O'Clock their carriages were in wait
ing, and under the guidance of Prof.
Tiernah the cavalcadc proceeded to
view the many points Of attraction
hereabouts. The party expressed
surprise at the signs Of improvement
on every hand and especially were
they impressed with the beauty and
grandeur Of the falls. The cataracts
were observed from every point Of
vantage. The members Of the ex-

TIE Presidential party is now in
the Yellowstone Park, having good
time fishing, hunting and recreating.
The cares Of office are thrown aside
and the august parsonage enjoys
himself for all the world like a COM
mon citizen. 1t has been rumOred
that an attempt would be made to
kidnap the President, run him IN
into some mountain fastness and
hold him for ransom. But "fOre-
warned is forearmed' and Gen.
Sheridan, who is managing the ex-
cursiOn, will see that the head Of the
nation is duly protected. But it
would be a pretty good joke and an
exciting episode If something of the
kind did occur.

stone. The wounded man is now in
the hands of his cOuntrymen and at
present writing is much better than
could have been hoped for, but as it
is well known that the race have lit
tie or no feeling for each other and
do not desire to be burdened with
the care of disabled man it is hardly
possible that they will give him
proper attention. With good nurs-
ing the Chinaman would very likely
recover, Notwithstanding the fright
full nature of his hurts, but we would
not be surprised to hear Of his death
any day. So far nothing has been
done toward apprehendiTg the In
dians, as the guilty ones are un-
known. A portion Of the affray was
witnessed by one or two white men,
but they cannot identify the perpet-
rators. They should be punished
severely for the deed if caught.

cursiOn have Travelled extensively.
They had seen everything of inter-
est in both the'new and old worlds,
and yet they expressed themselves
as never having seen anything more
lovely than our falls. After paying
a visit to Prof. Tiernan's residence
and admiring the extensive and val
liable collection of mineral specimens
that the Professor has gathered up in
this part Of the country, they were
driven to the train, which immedi-
atcly pulled out for Rathdum, from
whence the party drove over to
Fort CGur pAlene. The travellers
consisted Of Hon. Nm. II. Arm
strong, Railroad Commissioner, Of
Washington, Mrs. w. II. Armstrong,
Miss Anna Armstrong, Mrs. II. II.
carp, Thos. Hazard, engineer for the
Commissioner, and General and Mrs.
Coils of Philadelphia. Prof. Tiernan
and wife, A. NJ. Cannon and wife
and J. ]. Browne and wife accOmpa-
MED the excursionists to the Lake.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Armstrong, and found him very
agreeable and pleasant gentleman,
and man whose long experience
eminently fits him for the position
he fills. He is now travelling in his
official capacity, having made the
journey west over the Southern Pa
cific. From here he will visit the
Yellowstone Park, and from thence
returns to his home in Washington.
He promises 10 return over the
Northern Pacific when it is COM
Pleted, and on that occasion will
stop longer with US.
