PUBLIC LANDS FENCED.

In his report to the commissioner of the
general land office, George W. Fairchild,
deputy United States surveyor, Nebraska,
says, all the agricultural land in that section
has been fenced in by the cattle men. Their
ranges extend for hundreds of miles, and
wire fences are enclosing all desirable public
lands, and even water courses are posted at
intervals, with notices threatening death to
any person opening them. Herders assert
that they hold these lands under the desert
land and timber culture laws, which result IN
a complete check to persons seeking 10 make
homestead settlements.

The New Orleans Exposition.

X. ii. Thomas, Commissioner for Penn
sylyania to the New Orleans Exposition is
collecting and packing the exhibits for
transportation, and has secured specimens
OF the various State products, which will in
the aggregate make creditable display.
The work Of the Commissioner has been
arduous, because of unexpected apathy
concerning the matter among persons who
were asked to interest themselves Most
OF the articles have been secured through
personal application and solicitation, and
in many instances by direct purchase. But
in other quarters, including the higher in
sttutions of learning, valuable collections
have been freely loaned and earnest assis-
hnce given. Commissioner Thomas, being
desrous of making thoroughly rcpresen-
tative exhibit for this State, requests citi-
zens to aid him in collecting the following
objects Geological specimens, fossils,
petrifications, shells and prepared speci-
mems OF animals, birds, insects, etc. agri-
culture and horticulture raw and manu-.
featured products ores, minerals, speci-
mems of soils, grasses, fbres, MOSES, clays,
sands, mineral waters, with analysis, and
native woods; agricultural products not
used for food chemical and pharmaceuti-
cal products. Textile Fabrics-cotton,
hemp, linen, worsted, silk, jute, hair, etc.
Alimentary products farinaceous
products, fish, vegetables and fruits--nat-
ural, dried or preserved also condiments,
confectionery and domestic stimulants.
Archaeological and historical collections,
and relics and curiosities of all kinds will
prove very interesting features OF tho State
exhibit. Everything illustrating Indian
life, colonial life and the history of our
people will be in place" These objects, if
sent to the commissioners address, Me-
chanicsburg, Cumberland county, Pa, will
be properly classified and cared for, and
if It be desired will be returned to the
owner at the close of the exposition free Of
expense.
Exhibits sent by express or through the
mails should have expressage or postage
prepaid.
When sent as regular freight the charges
will be paid by the commissioner All ex-
hibits should be addressed as above indi-
Gated and should reach the commissioners
office by Nov, Goth, at which time the cars
will be loaded fer New Orleans. The
name, county aud postoificc Of every con
tributor will be noted on article contrib.
uted, thus giving credit to whom credit is
due.

True Even Unto Death.
THE DESPERATE DEVOTION or AN OUT
LAWS WIFE IN SOUTHERN
COLORADO.
(Fr0rn the Denver yelcs.)

The following characteristic story of
frontier life was told the reporter of
the Neaos by Mr.. Nelson Franklin,
who is in the city and who has lived
for some time during the past two
years in Silverton and other towns and
camps in Southern Colorado
"a daring robbery had been com
mitted. The officials of well-known
banking institution in atown in South
ern Colorado, upon reaching the build
ing one morning, discovered that a
side door had been broken open, the
fastening of an inner door forced and
the safe containing the banks valuables
drilled and blown and relieved of its
contents. A careful search of the
premises revealed the body of the
watchman in an adjoining vacant lot
pierced with knife wounds and covered
with bruises, showing the evidence OF
a struggle, and that more than one per
son was engaged in the murder and
robbery. Soon the whole commu.
nifty was aroused and the Sheriff, with
posse of armed and mounted men
was ready to start Oh the trail of the
murderers. But who were they and
where could they be found were ques
tions easier to ask than to answer.
"On the floor of the banking-room
was found large brimmed sombrero
decorated with peculiar spangles, anG
which several citizens identified as hav
ing been worn by one of three stran
gers who came into town the Afternoon
before and had been drinking at sever
al saloons during the evening. A tol
erably fair description of these meI
was obtained, also the information
given by ranchman who came int,
town during the morning that thre,
men answering the description, arme,
and mounted on powerful horses, haC
passed him while on Lis way in abou
daylight, going south at a rapid rate
evidently on their way to New Mex
leo.
"Upon hearing the ranchman's stor,
the officers separated into three squad
and started off well equipped for al
encounter. Every trail over the noun
tain was examined and every possibl
clue followed for several days, but t.
/, no purpose The bank officials, Mayo
of the town aud Governor Of the Stat
offered rewards for the capture of tn
miscreants, which in the aggregate
amounted to several thousands of dol
lars. This induced a large number o
determined and brave men to Join il

The New Local Anasthetio.

A short time ago it was reported
that DIR. Koller, of Vienna, young
man pursuing his studies there, had ac-
cdentally discovered a new anesthetic,
he noticed that when he instilled a few
drops of two per cent. solution of
Cocaine hydrochlorate (an alkaloid of
-Erythronylon coca) into his eyes,
they became insensible to the touch.
On Monday before last the effect of
this anasthetic was tried in case of
double over mature cataract, at Mount
Sinai Hospital, in this city. The pa
tient, woman of fifty, was placed up
on the operating chair, and few
drops of the solution were put into the
eye. This was repeated three times at
intervals of five minutes. The opera
tlon was completed without causing
the patient, who was conscious through
out, any pain. Since that time other
operations upon the eye and the mu
cuous cavities of the nose, throat, etc,
have been performed in painless
manner. This morning the writer of
this notice had occasion to notice the
wonderful effect of the anaesthetic on
his own person. 1t was instilled into
the nasal cavity, in the manner de-
scribed, preparatory to the removal of
a polypus, this operation having been
resorted to several times before, and
being always attended with considera-
BILE pain. The effect of the an@sthetic
was most striking, the repeated extrac-
tion of the polypi, with Storck's snare,
being generally absolutely painless,
and making itself barely felt in one or
two instances. The only sensation APP
preaching pain was due to the usual
distenson of the skin caused by the in
PRODUCTION of the speculum There
was a sensation of numbness in the
nose prior to the operation, such as is
produced by extreme cold, and the re-
turning sensibility manifested itself in
a very slight sensation of pam after the
Operation.-N y. Post.

An Indian No Citizen.
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES AN IMPoR-
TANT CASE.
AN INDIAN NOT A CITIZEN OF TIE UNITED
STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF
THE FOURTEENTH AMEND
MENT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--A decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court of
the United States this afternoon in an-
other of the series of cases which have
arisen out of the adoption of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the constitution. The present case,
which is that of John Elk, plaintiff in
error, against Charles Wilkins, and
which comes from a district of Nebras-
ka, is the suit brought by an Indian
against the registrar of one of the
wards of the city of Omaha for refus-
ing to register him as qualified voter
therein.
The questions presented are whether
the plaintiff in error is citizen of the
United States, and whether he has
been denied any right guaranteed him
by the Fifteenth amendment to the
federal constitution. The court in a
long and elaborate opinion by Justice
Gray holds, first, that an Indian who
is born member of one of the Indian
tribes, within the United States, which
still exists and is recognized as tribe
by the government and who has volun-
tarily separated himself from his tribe
and has taken up his residence among
white citizens of state, but who has
not been naturalized or taxed or recog-
nized as citizens, either by the United
States or state, is not citizen of the
United States within the meaning of
the first section of the fourteenth
amendment. Second, that the plaintiff
in error not being citizen of the
United States under the fourteenth
amendment has been deprived of nc
right secured by the fifteenth amend,
ment and cannot maintain this action
The Judgment of the circuit court is
affirmed
Justice Harlan read long and dis
senting opinion in behalf of Justice
Woods and himself.

Long before eight O'Clock Music

short speech, which was not aplaud-
ed much, the Republicans present man
ifesting very little disposition to be en-
thusiastio. But when William f..
Chandler began TO speak the reign of
pandemonium began. After a long
talk on the tariff he commenced to
wave the bloody shirt and made the
remarkable statement that all mur-
derers were Democrats. Amid a
storm of Kisses a voice called out from
the gallery, "Who shot Garfield 2"
Chandler then abused Ex Senator
Wadleigh, and said that he knew
there were men on the Navy Yard and
that every man of them would vote the
Republican ticket. He was then hiss.

called out, "Where is the navyi" and
another voice replied, "John Roach

Gus inquiries, "Where is the Talla-

Ter promptly replied. "Afoat, with
steam up" The answer was greeted
with groans. He attempted to assail
Cleveland's private character by innu-
endo and was hissed and groaned.
Then he called Hendricks copper
head aud voices asked. "Have you

The Louisiana Riot.
THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING MOBBED BY
THE REPUBLICAN NEGROES. 'f

ODD. .f
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3.--A special
to the Picay,tse from New iberia
says: About 200 Republicans, princi-
pally negroes, entered Lareauville Sat
urday afternoon, cheering in the wild
est manner and using profane and OBJ
scene language in the greatest profu-
sion. The crowd was headed by Ex-
Sheriff Viator, and they assailed the
Democratic candidate in the vilest
terms. The most reliable and impair
tial witnesses agree that few of the
citizens of Lareauville, not over fifteen,
led by Joe Gilfaux, met this crowd of
kellogites and demonstrated with
them, when some unknown party fired
on Gilfaux. The assault was very un-
expected on the part of the Democrats
and before they could rally Gilfaux
and Captain Bell had fallen. The lat
ter's pistol was taken from his body 1t
had not been discharged. AS soon as
the shooting commenced there was the
greatest confusion, and the negroes
scattered in every direction. 1t is very
probable that many of the balls of the
Kelloggites found victims in their own
ranks. When the negroes stampeded
they left their wounded to take care of
themselves. The Democrats surround
ed the Republican leaders and took
them prisoners. ..
A dispatch from New Iberia says
The preliminary examination of the
prisoners was not held to day as ex-
pected, owing to the absence of
the district attorney, consequently
the prisoners will have to re-
main in prison until after the election.

PHILADELPHIA. November 8,


ALyons silk-weaver some
years ago set up a factory in
Hackensack, New Jersey,
and is now making there a
frst-class silk which we are
selling at 81 to 81 a yard, ac-
cording to weight; less by
IS cents a yard than we can
sell an equal Lyons silk for.
We know nothing as to his
resources, or his arrange
ments for bringing his inhu-
ence to bear on the American
silk industry. We know
only the silk he is making;
black cachemire that nobody
can distinguish from the best
Lyons silk. He cannot help
disturbing every American
maker. Such an example at
our very doors is positive
proof that American silks can
take rank with the highest,
in beauty as well as in
strength.
We do not propose to go
into si,k-making. 1t is quite
enough to know silk; and
the silk manufacturers chem
istry is apt to make it hard
to do that. Wejudge maker
by his work. Here is a new
black silk to be judged; and
it is so easy to judge it that
you turn instinctively to judg-
ing the maker and congratu-
lating the country SO fortu-
nate as to own him.
The new silk has the lustre,
the softness, thepliable readi-
ness in drapery, Of an old.
fashion Bonnet. In no re-
'spect is it inferior in beauty
OF surface or softness of
fabric to the ancientsilk Of the
most famous maker ofLyons.
How will it wear? We
agree to replace any piece
that cracks in three months.
The incentive to buy it is the
rs cents a yard, An equal
French silk costs thatamount
Nore.
We fill a large window on
Chestnut street with the new
silk to-day, and give the
maker the advantage of his
trademark brand, Regatta"
his designation, american
Iachelnlre; ana his tlrm-
name r. & II, Simon.
The occasion is a most in
teresting one to every buyer
of black silk.
