men Settled Their Difficulties.

Bill Dougherty and Zach Gray,
young ranchers residing at Sand Prairie.
Texas, were the principals in a desperate
duel, fought few day s ago, in which both
men were wounded, Gray fatally. The
trouble grew out of feud Of long standing
and, as means of adjustment, they agreed
TO use their reviewers until one or both fell.
AT the appointed time both were on hand,
and, without parley, commenced action,
each using single action Colts As calibre
pistols. After the first fire the men changed
positions and began at will, Dougherty re-
ceiving one of Gray's three shots in the arm.
while Gray, at Dougherty's fifth shot, fell
WIFI bullet IN the lower part of his back.
men were cared for by their friends, who,
from distance, had watched the bloody
encounter.

The Last of Earth.

The remains of Sergeant Edward Is.
rael, the meteorologist of the Greedy Arctic
expedition, arrived at Kalamazoo, Michi-
gan, few days ago and were met at the de-
pot by the city authorities, Hebrew and
German societies and great concourse of
citizens. The places of business were closed
out OF respect for the deceased, who was a
native Of Kalamazoo and honored for his
unusually brilliant talents. The funeral
took place from the residence of young Is
rael's widowed mother. There is deep
sympathy among all classes in that place in
the great aflliction which ends three years of
heavy hearted suspense.

the scalp from the skull, leaving the latter
bare. He was carried into DR.. Swetnam s
Office in the opera house and his wound i'm

Is George Parker. AT late hour Saturday
night the man was resting comfortably at
his home. A remarkable fact in this acct.

the spot where Mel Salisbury came so near
losing his life few months ago by having
his jugular vein severed by plate glass fall

OKLAHOMA PAYNE.
He and His Party Arrested and Sent TO
Fort Smith.

General Hatch, in company with
Adjutant General Finley and Inspector
Greene, of the interior department, visited
Payne's camp at Rock Fall, Indian terri
tory, on the 9th. After reading the presi-
DENTS proclamation to him and his assem-
bled followers he directed him to leave the
territory before morning or be elected. This
occurred in small board shanty occupied
by the Oklahoma Chief. Payne attempted
to discuss the legal aspects of the case, but
soon became angry and very abusive, call
ing the officers of the government, from the
highest to the lowest, pack of
hieves. Editor Cooper chimed in
with yituperations and threats. Payne said
he had a valise full of money and would give
thousand dollars to De tried by the
United States court, and in order to assure
the officers Of the case against him would
then and there sell them liquor or cigars
without license or permit. He urged the
officers to dine with him and offered them
plenty Of liquor if they would. BY this
time large crowd had assembled from
tents and shanties along the river, and the
officers again admonished them to leave and
not return. The only reply was torrent
of abusive epithets. The officers returned
to camp, ten miles distant. Early next
morning two squadrons Of the Ninth United
States cavalry, commanded by Captain
Moore, appeared in Boomers Camp, and
under the direction of the Indians.

The Canadian Crops.

Advices from various western points
indicate exceedingly favorable crop pros
poets throughout the province and terri
tories. In Manitoba abundant rain caused
a remarkable growth of straw, but the
grain is now rapidly maturing, the weather
being very warm. The harvest commenced
about the LIST at the Bell farm, at Indian
Head, where 5000 acres are under crops.
Wheat is above the average. The Canadian
Pacific railways experimental farms, ex-
tending at intervals along $50 miles of rail-

THE GROWING CROPS,
Their Condition as Outlined by Monthly
Reports.

The department of agriculture reports thai
the average condition of the growing cotton
in the United States has advanced from Sc
per cent in July to a little above 81 per cent.
The condition of corn average the same as
in the July report, and is higher than in any
August since 1880. 1t has been exceede d
but three times in ten years-in 1875, 1879
and 1880, when it was 90 per cent. in each
instance. There has been an Improvement
in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska. Geor-
gia, Alabama, Kentucky, New Jersey and
the Pacific coast. y slight decline in the
condition is reported i'll Ohio, Indiana.
Drought has prevailed in portions of the Ohio
valley and in Texas with considerable sever
ity, reducing the condition of corn q points.
The averages of the principal states are: New
York, 80; Maryland, "a; Virginia, 95; North
Carolina, 81 South Carolina, 94 Georgia, ~:
Alabama, 20; Mississippi, 90; louisiana 49,
Texas, So; Arkansas, 81; Tennessee, 80; Penn
syVania, 60; Kentucky, 81; Ohio, 81; Indiana
81: Illinois, 81; Iowa, us; Missouri, To-; Kan
sas, l0l Nebraska, lOj. The report for wheat
includes only the spring wheat region. The
average is 9s, one point higher than in the ten
last good spring wheat years. and higher than
in any year sinle 1877.
The average for the condition of oats is o..
one point lower than in 1888. The crop has
been harvested in the lower ATTITUDES and
promises fine yield in the most northern
states.
The condition of rye averages 81, the same
as last month.
Barley also maintains its high condition,
and buckwheat promises full crop; in area
about the same as last year.
Tobacco promises a large crop.
The prospect is favorable for another largo |
crop of potatoes, but not so full in area as |
asst year, being three per cent. smaller. The |
present indications point to Il crop of about |
anger difference if future conditions should
)e less favorable.

Union Pacific to the terms of the tripartite
agreement and compel it to turn over all its
business at Omaha to the Rock Island and
st. Paul roads. The general views ex-
pressed by the railway officials, however, is
that the compact cannot now be easily
maintained, but the matter is one which
can only be determined by the lines still re-
manning party to it.

EX-CONFEDERATES AND PATRI-
OTISM.

In SENATOR COKE's admirable letter
dwells upon the fact that such reunions,
even by those who followed the fortunes
Of the Lost Cause, are calculated to
foster the spirit of patriotism and make
those who have known war the best
conservators of the peace of the Nation.
There is mt least now no longer ground
for remembering the bitter differences
Of some years ago between tho North
and South. Scalawags and carpet-bag-
gers, il Is true, for time after the war
closed, sorely tried the patience of the
Southern people and prevented public
sentiment in either section from settling
down once moro into tho proper chan
nels. But from the Government itself
the most generous treatment, compare
lively, was enjoyed by those who were
enlisted against the old flag.
1t is hardly possible TO find in history
another instance in which the van
pushed were Immediately admitted
again to participation in the Govern
mont, another instance in which the
leaders of the rebellious forces were not
shot, eXiled, or disgraccd, and the rank
and file denied every franchise Of the
citizen, That such was not the policy of
the North must be said to the credit of
the victors. That in day of such evil
passions and bitter preiudices, possessed
of such power, they acted with no
greater harshness, is record upon
which the North is to he as cordially
congratulated rs the South.
The fact was the best possible
evidence that in the United
States we were indeed one poo
pie with one destiny, that the GOV
ernmcnt was for every State and every
section. Now, that time has softenod
the asperitios of that former day of dis
senson, and healed all wounds, II is the
more possible for us to take q Just retro
spcct in the South, and discern how for
unate we were that we lived i'm Repub-
lican America, rather than in any of the
monarchy-cursed nations of the old
world.
These are reasons why even the South
orn oX-Confcderato can now breathe an
honest sentiment Of patriotism, and as
he gathers once more with the brave
comrades of other scenes and years
heartily cheer the old flag and hop,
ardeutly for the perpetuation, unim
paired, of the magnificent machinery o
our Foheral Union.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 8. - Inquiries
made at the Postoilice Department de-
veloped the following facts in connection
with the financial Irregularities and the
disappearance of Assistant Postmaster
Morton, of Brooklyn, New York.
At the expiration of the first month in
each quarter employees of the Brooklyn
postofiice were required 10 sign a pay
roll for the full quarter, although they
had received pay for but one month.
Morton, who was in complete control of
the finances of the office,
was thus afforded an opportunity Of
which he awaited himself in making up
the pay-rolls to fill in blanks for the last
two months of each quarter with figures
representing sums larger than those
actually paid out.
lhe total amount of the discrepancy
was the small sum 800.
Regarding Mouon's disappearance,
during the investigation, the inspectors
suppose that he realty Guessed the re-
suit of the inquiry and fled to Europe.
They do not believe his mind is affected
or that he is in the country.

THE Texas Benevolent association
continues to grow steadily upon the
general public, we are gratified to see.
1t is a home institution, incorporated
under the laws of Texas by some Of the
best business men and honored citizens
of Waco, and entitled, from various
reasons, to the hearty encouragement
and support of the people of this State.
Its chief object, as its name implies, is
to establish Benevolent and Relief
Fund for the protection of the families
of deceased members and to assist them
in distress or sickness, and has a sound
business insurance feature connected
with ii. Financially it has proved a
great success, and is as solid, from all
authentic reports, as any insurance or
benevolent company in Texas, or the
entire southwest to-day. Many fea-
lures distinguish the Il. b. A. that are
not found In any similar company, and
it will prove profitable to any one de-
string to perfect an association with
such Il useful and commendable order
to get the pamphlets and publications of
the institution from the business man
agor, Mr.. r, i. PARROT, of Waco.

The Dctested Rags.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. Acting upon
information that cargo of rags had re-
Gently been passed by the state quaran-
tine officers at the port of New
York, the Secretary of the Treas
ury instructed the Collector Of
Customs at that port to allow
no rags to he imported, unless pos
tive proof is produced that they come
from non-infected ports, and are in
themselves entirely free from in
lection. The fact that the YES
sci has a clean hill of health
and has been given permit to
pass by local quarantine officer, is not
To- he considered conclusive proof of the
non-niccted condition of her cargo.
These instructions are based upon n
clause in the sundry civil bill, authoriZ-
ing the President to eNpcnd u sum not
exceeding SlOO,OW To maintain quaran-
tine at ports in danger, and to aid State
and local boards in preventing and sup
pressing the spread of threatened or
actual epidemic.
The Surgeon General of the marine
hospital service has advised that the
importation of rags be totally prohibited,
for the present ut least, because, rs he
says, they are companions of filth and
disease, no matter from what quarter OF
the world they come, and sO, are always
liable to convey disease.
