Sheriff Ringo's Story.

MT. STERLING, May 26.-Sherifl
RingO thus continued his story:
therefore after advising with the
best men in Menifee county, l came
shere to hang Barnett and the others.
"a bunch of rope with two hangman's
Knots carefully made, was found
hear Ringo's body. He is dangerous
81 wounded, FIVE balls having pene-
trated his right leg ten inches above
The knee, necessitating amputatlonl
which will probably result fatally.
Although the ceiling of the room
above is riddled with bullet holes,
none of the guard were wounded.
The general sentiment of the pub
lie here is that it was very unfOrtu-
nate the mob did not succeed in hang
ing the Barnett gang, as they are con-
sidered desperadoes of the most
dangerous type. This affair seems to
be the result of family feud which
has existed for a long term of years,
has from first to last cost many
lives, and will only close with the
death of all the parties concerned.
Ringo, the wounded leader Of the
mob, has three cousins and one
br0ther-in-law, an outlaw in the gang
whom he was attempting to hang,
and which will doubtless cost him his
life. He has since 1866 been an Off
Ger in this county, and has always
enjoyed an excellent reputation in his
community as a fine officer and law
abiding citizen.

A Cure for Diphtheria.

Diphtheria is one of the most fatal
diseases that flesh is heir to: and this
terrible scourge desOlates countless
homes and carries off thousands Of
children and many adults every
year. The public will therefore be
interested in the following letter to
the Des Moines Register from an
Iowa physician who, the Register
says. has saved thousands of lives by
his treatment:
Milo, Iowa, Feb. 20.
Ed. Register: In long years gone
by you published my cure for diph-
iberia. 1t attracted widespread
attention and became known as the
"Register diphtheria cure" and
saved hundreds of lives, as thankful
letters received by me showed. The
years of progress and thought have
brought better treatment, because not
so slow in action. l have lately
received several letters asking for the
treatment as published in the Regis

tanning the same having been loaned,
mlslaid or lost. I now give my
improved treatment, which can be
had at any drug store and use d by
any person without danger.
Take ten grains of permapganate OF
potassium and mix with one ounce of
cold water. AS soon as dissolved it
must be applied with rag or sponge,
mob or swab, to the whilish places in
the tonsils and other parts that have
the diphtheria membrane on. DO
this gently, but thoroughly every
three hours until better; then every

poonful every one to three hours as
needed, when awake. If the tongue
is not coated white, I mix twenty
drops of tincture of phytolacca in
four ounces of cold water and give 8

Tha Me- Peroes Find New Friends

SARATOGA, May 26.-Overture
from Emporea, Nebraska. Presby-
tery were adopted, asking President
Arthur aud Secretary Lincoln to
grant petition from one thousand
Pre.byterians that Chief Joseph's
hand Of Neg Perces Indians in the
Indian Territory he allowed to re-
turn to the Nez Perces reservation in
Idaho. Rev. G. l.. Pinning made an
address, in scathing terms, of the
United States injustice to the Nez
Perce tribe, that never took white
scaIp or raised their arms till driven
from their lands in violation OF the
treaty. Overtures were presented
from several Presbyleries regarding
the Indian policy of the government,
recommending that citizenship be
conferred on all who work lands
held in severaliy, and intruders Kept
from the Ipdian Territory and reser-
,yation and that inviolable faith be
kent with them in every respect.
Rev. DR.. Johnson explained the re-
bort WAS in unison with the action
Of the Methodist Episcopal church.
By unanimous consent Captain Il.
P Pratt, of the United States army,
introduced six Indian students from
the Carlisle Pa school. They were
two Creeks, Conanche, kiowa,

An UncOnhrmed RunOr.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The Times says
it is announced that an agreement
has been entered into between the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pa
ciic railways under which the terri
tory west of Snake river, in Oregon.
Washington and North Idaho should
be regarded as belonging to the
Northern Pacific, or the Willard
combination; and all east Of Snake
river should belong to the Union
Pacific, or the Gould combination.
The agreement is understood to con-
tain further stipulations in reference
to the joint occupancy OF the Terri
tory of Montana. Under this agree
ment the public was given to under
stand that the Union Pacific branch,
known as the Oregon Short Line, was
to terminate at Burnt river, and the
Baker City Branch of the Oregon
Railway& Navigation company was to
terminate at the same place, where a
junction would be formed. 1t now
transpires that little or no regard is
being paid to this alleged agreement
as, it is said. the Oregon
Short Line is expending thousands
of dollars in the survey, and the To-
cation of its line beyond the point
where it was understood to have
agreed to stop.
The impression has been given out
that Willard has been giving the Un-
ion Pacific people wild goose chase,
and is putting his forces in the field
to occupy the territory east Of Snake
river, and take in Boise City upon an
invitation from its citizens. who are
anxious to have competing line.
Many do not believe the Union Pa
cifc will build $50 miles through a
desert country and then stop 400 miles
short of the Pacific coast, at the very
threshold of a section that would
furnish the very best of local traffic
For this reason they favor the exten-
sion of the Northern Pacific, as a
gentleman from the extreme north
west said said to the reporter of the
Times, TO give a western outlet and
an opportunity to construct a road
through country where it is need
ed"
Surveys are now being made by the
Union Pacific road of the Snake river
country, but it will never have a road
constructed there, and they are be.
lieved to be made for the purpose OF
securing an agreement different from
the one that is said to exist about the
territory east and west of Snake
fiver.
The people of the country men,
toned are of the belief that there
will yet be hard struggle between
these combinations for the possession
of this important territory IN the ex-
treme northwest, which will result
in the building Of several important
branches of the road next year.

the negro who raped Mrs Chisholm,
was taken from the Miller county
Jail at daylight, under strong guard,
and conveyed over dirt roads, thirty:
five miles, to Richmond. The persons
who had threatened to rescue the
prisoner made no demonstration
owing, doubtless, to the formidable
escort. Richmond was reached a
little after noon, where a great crowd
had assembled, and at o'clock the
moose was adjusted about Y0ung's
neck and he was swung off. The
posse returned to the telegraph sta
tion at Texarkana a little before 10
o'clock tonight.

The Striking Miners.

ST, LOUIS, Mo-, Nav 26.-Ac-
counts from Collinsvilie, Illinois. this
morning report everything quiet.
Two companies of MALTA, one from
Edwardsville, and the other from
Iavlorsvilie, are on guard, and no
further trouble is anticipated in that
place or vicinity. Col. Berklay. of
the 9th regiment of railroad guards.
Is In command of the troops, and
deputy sheriff Rangland, Of ST..
Clair County. and sheriff Holz, of
Madison county, ARE there with q
civil posse. The Abby company's
two pits, which are worked by ma
chlnery, the Confidence and Brook
side mines, and two pits of Collins
vile companies, all of which en-
ploy only non-union miners, resum-
ed work this morning. These mines
are on the Va1dalia road, and there
is no further danger of molestation
as long as the authorities guard them.
The strikers offered no opposition to
the militia nor to the civil posse, and
have left the neighborhood. The
only other mines in operation in st.
Clair county are in Marissa, near
Bellville. The strikers have ordered
them to shut down, but the county
and state authorities have taken
such active measures to preserve Or
der and to protect men willing to
work, it is not likely they will
make any demonstration there. It
looks now as though the trouble is
ended, but whether miners generally
will resume work is not known. 1t is
said the operators are willing to pay
two and half cents, the price de-
manded by them, but refused to SUBJ
NIT to the other terms and condi-
tions imposed. Probably eompro-
mise will be effected In q few days,
when operations throughout the
district will be resumed.
The military will remain there, how
ever, until II is certain that the civil
authorities can easily maintain order.
Warrants were issued this afternoon
for some 300 leading strikers, and
every man who can be identified as
having been connected with the
demonstration of the past two days,
be arrested and prosecuted under the
law which imposes penalty of $500
fine and six months imprisonment.
ST. LOUIS, Mag 26.-Reporters
who returned from Collinsville to-
night report everything quiet. The
mines are in operation to-day. The
presence of the militia seems to have
quelled the turbulent spirit mani
tested yesterday and no further dis
turbance is apprehended around Col
liDsville.
