Col. r S. Gardner, of Clsrksburg, West
Virginia, U. s. Indian Inspector, was at the
fremont hotel last night and left this morn
ing for the Indian Territory to visit the
Cheyenne and A-appahoe agencies. Col
Gardner has held this Office for FIVE years
and has been re-appointed for four years
more from last February. He has visited
every Indian agency in the United States
and gives it as his opinion that the Indians
are gradually improving and becoming bet
ter civilized. In answer to our reporter as
to whether the young Indians who are sent
away from their tribes and educated did not
gradually resume their wild habits when they
are permitted to return to their people, Col.
Gardner said to considerable extent that is
true. ~You sse when those young Indians
are educated they adopt our customs, but
when they return to their tribes the older
Indians turn up their noses, and regard them
as no good. These young men do not prefer
the blanket and wild life, but
being compelled against their will to
sit down and hear the sneers of the their
tribes they will return to their old ways,
while if they were furnished some employ
ment by which they could make use of their
education and maintain themselves, the older
Indians would learn to respect them, and
their influence over their own people would
be more beneficial Col. Gardner is an in
telligent gentleman and good Republican
and is certain that West Virginia will give
her electoral vote for Blaine and Logan. He
says their people are interested in great man
ufacturing industries, and earn their bread
in them, regard free trade and competition
with the pAuper labor of Europe about as
the people out west would regard failure of
crops and grasshopper raid. He says he
does not know whether Oklahoma belongs
To the indians, TO Payne, or to the bulls.

unless his beer is shut off. Last evening he
left in our Office large basket of wonderful

jury help him bear the honors heaped upon
him. Very sincerely,

Yesterday in the afternoon there waf
quite an excitement on Douglas avenue IN
front of the Smythe and Healy building
which caused quite large crowd to assem-
bic. The cause of the excitement was
fight between couple of white men and
some colored nlen who were at work on the
new building mentioned. On investigation II
turned out that the generosity Of Pat Healy
was the first cause of the whole trouble.
About three o clock the colored boys finish
ed their work on the Healy building, and
Pat gave them some money to buy water
MELONS, and the boys thought the money
invested in sour beer would have q more
beneficial effect. The result WAS when they
went over to commence work on the Smythe
building they were extremely happy and
about that time couple of white men who
happened to be passing got into rumpus
with the colored men. One Of the white
men made pass at a colored man, when
the fourteenth amendment gently laid two
by four scantling across the head Of the rep
resentative of the superior race. The COM
pliment the white man returned by hurting
a brick bat at the head of the American citi-
zen of African decent, which missed the
mark and struck against an iron pier about
an inch above f. G. Smythe's head. Smythe
bounded out on to the sidewalk like whole
circus and a trick mule, which 50 frightened
the combatants that the colored men re-
treated into the house and the white men
ran off up the avenue and disappeared, tax
inc with them hat belonging to one OF the
oolored men.

is this true of such live stock as cattle and

out of ten county fairs Of the older states.

Three ways ofusing Rhubarb.

Delicious rhubarb jam-To six pounds
of rhubarb add six pounds of lump sugar
and six large lemons; cut the rhubarb
into small pieces about the size of q
walnut; then the lemons should be
sliced and the peel cut very fine. Put
the fruit taking out the pips from the
lemons) all into a large bowl, cover it
with the sugar broken small; let it
stand twenty-four hours, after which
boil it slowly for about three-quarters
of an honr, taking care it does not stick
to the PAN also not to stir much so as
to break the pieces of rhubarb, as the
beauty of it is in being whole. Rhu-
barb mould for dessert-Take one quart
Of red rhubarb and cut it in pieces; put
it in o saucepan with q lid, and let it
boil till quite q pulp; melt oneahalf
ounce of gelatine in hot water; When
dissolved put it with one pound Of pow

From the PhiIadelphia Times.

in his possession q large hog, which
was during the day -tiMe, allowed to
run in the back yard. During the night
il was kept in q pen in the northeastern
corner OF the yard. Some days ago the
hog developed an ugly disposition, and
protested BY vicious grunts its aversion
to confinement. Several times it
turaed on its owner while being driven
to its pen, and had to be subdued with
! club. Yesterday the animal became
Unusually vicious and attacked every
one who came near. A dog that was
Bet on the brute in the hope that he
would drive it to the pen was routed
and narrowly escaped death by scaling
a hve-foot picket fenca.
Mr.. Ward returned home at q o'clock
and undertook to drive the hog intoihis

until within . few feet Of the gate, when
it turned, and, with q vicious srort,
charged on its owner. The man tried
to beat it 81, swith i stick, bat ives over

itself on IL hind feet, and, throwing its
weight sgsinst tbs man, bors him to the
earth. 1t then sprang on him, and

could recover his footing the hog had

With its teeth. The wounded man was
