TRADE AND COMMERCE..
No improvement, in the General Condition
of Affairs.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 90.
We have only the wearisome iteration of IA
dull and unchanged market to report Tho dry
goods houses say there is some trade" but
nothing startling. Groceries are very quiet and
prices unchanged Sugars and coffees are weak
and canned goods steady, Domestic fruits and
vegetables are in reasonably good request, and
prices are we'll maintained. Poultry continues
in excessive supply. Eggs are scarce and in ex-
eelent demand.
The grain market is still sluggish The wheat
which arrives is mostly off grade. Evidently
producers are not inclined to market their good
wheat at present prices, and there is little in
quiry for any kind at prevailing figures. There
is little or no export demand, and millers find no
profit in working up stocks at the present prices
for flour.
The Board of Trade Price Current says:
''Wheat-We fail to note any change either in
tone or price. Sellers few, with buyers very lit
tie in the majority Arrivals abominable, both
as to quality and quantity Futures are quiet
with some little demand and no offerings. The
visible supply report shows in the large increase
that wheat has been moving very freely, and
that export demandhas not been very brisk. We

The other day check was sent in to
the especial order" department of a
large Broadway house, which it was ex-
planned was the payment for an outfit
provided for an infant which had been
left motherless and taken charge of by
rich and doting maternal grandmoth-
er. Only two years before the same
house had furnished the trosseau for the
lovely young bride. Now the grief of
the mother at the loss of the daughter
she loved finds consolation in a lavish
outpouring of rich gifts upon the head
of the unconscious baby she had left. 1t
was five months old now and to be short
coated. This was the occasion for the
outfit, which included nineteen real lace
dresses a coat of white corded silk,
hand embroidered, and trimmed with
fine wide Duchesse lace a white cloth
coat, lined with silk and trimmed with
Florentine lace, and lace cap, mar
vel of soft waves of lace and narrow sat-
in ribbon and marabout feathers.

~ very curious marriage occurred at
Boykin, S. c., recently. Miss Constance
Bell, l2 years old, was joined in holy
wedlock to DR.. Jasper Benson, so years
old. The two had known each other for
only two weeks. The old gentleman
was sick ct Bells house and Constance
came home on visit from boarding
school. She nursed DR.. Benson through
a short but severe spell of sickness, and
as soon as he got well enough to walk
the two went off together and were mar
ried. DR.. Benson is. said TO be very
wealthy owning two large orange groves
in Florida. To the land of flowers the
strangely matched couple have gone to
spend their honeymoon. The remarka-
ble alliance is the talk of the neighbor-
hood. Curiously enough the girls pa
rents are wholly reconciled to the
match. DIR. Benson's family for gener-
ations back have been noted for their
longevity. His grandfather lived to the
age of 100 and his own father to the age
OF l02 years. He insists that. he is good
for twenty more years.

Following are the resolutions adopted
by the democratic convention in session
at Topeka last week:
RESOLVED, That the democracy of
Kansas endorses and approves of the
tariff reform measures and policies as
expressed in the address of the Hon. J.
G. Carlisle on assuming the position of
speaker Of the national house of repre-
SentaticeS.
RESOLVED, That any system of tax
alton which produces more than $780,
600 900 of annual surplus revenue is an
outrage upon the people and beneficial
only to the cormorants who prey upon
the public treasury. We favor such a
reform system as will produce with the
internal revenue sum sufficient to
raise fund to pay all the legitimate
expenses of the government, honestly
and economically administered, and all
just debts, and that in regulating the
import duties the tariff should be prin-
cipally upon luxuries, and that the tax
alton upon the necessities and general
wants of the great mass of the people
should be materially reduced, and the
whole tariff system so readjusted that
the burden of taxation should fall upon
that class best able to bear them; SO that
the manufacturing and labOring inter
ests of the country be protected against
unjust foreign competition, both in the
price of material and the value of labor.
RESOLVED, That while we do not
deem it necessary to instruct our dele
gates, having confidence i'll the ability,
integrity and discriminating judgment
of the gentlemen this day selected to
represent the democracy of Kansas in
the national convention of the party at
Chicago, we desire it to be distinctly
understood that our preference is for
that peerless statesman and stainless
patriot Samuel j. Tilden, and we de-
mand that if it be possible i'll his noble
name and that of his associate, the
atrOcious crime of 1876 shall be wiped
from the record OF the nation.
RESOLVED, That the democracy of
Kansas takes pride, in convention as
sembled, in endorsing the administra-
ton of Governor Click as able, eonser-
vative and honest, and we point with
PRIDE to the first democratic governor
of Kansas as specimen of what may
be expected when the democracy shall
take possession of the national govern
ment.

Texas Panhandle Some of our ranch
men have struck a chord which could
have been sounded long since to their
great advantage and independence. 1t
is simply the spaying of heifers and
old cows. 1t is just as easy to send off
to market full-grown fat animal, that
will bring more than steer, as to sell
as surplus Of the range sorry yearIing
to some other fellow who makes all the
profits of the growth. And it is iust as
easy to have an old COW 60 fat to mar
ket as to die poor in the prairie or bog.
To some extent this expedient was re-
sorted to last year on those ranges
whose prolific stock had outgrown the
bounds, and with results entirely salts
factory and happy. One of our Panhan-
die ranches spayed last year 1000 heif-
ers, and this year the little experiment
will be followed by the same ranch as
well as others. Mr.. j. Willis, veterina-
~ surgeon, an acknowledged adept at
this art, is now here en- route to the Pa
10 Duro ranch, where a number of heif-
ers and calves Of lesser promise and OBJ
jectionable colors win be Gndone as to
adding their fruitage to the herds. In
those ranges where the selling mania of
recent times have caused an enhance
ment in value OF heifers, this may be re,
garded as clear waste but to those with
prospective overstock it is a means of
saving grace and profit most apparent.

A Washington special says: 1t isnow
thoroughly understood here that Mr..
Illden will accept the democratic NOM
ination, and two gentlemen who saw
him in New York report that he told
them so with frankness they did not
anticipate. One of the congressman
who saw Mr.. Tildeii on Sunday last re-
ports him as saying that while he de-
sires to avoid the excitement of the
campaign, which he feels might impair
his health, he is willing to comply with
what appears to be an almost unani-
nous call from his party and accept a
nomination. He does not conceal his
feeling that second nomination would
be the greatest qualification he could
feel in his declining years, and even if
the campaign should cost him his life,
he could not lay it down in a better
cause.

Il
a Fort Reno correspondent of the In.
dian Chieftain, in well written letter
tells nearly all there is to say about the
Oklahoma country, and from his inter-
esting communication we extract the
following:
''First, then, where is Oklahomas It
is bottnded on the north by line as
near S5 deg. 10 min: north latitude as
can well be expressed on the map, being
the southern line of the famous Chero-
kee Strip, west Of the Arkansas River:
Its eastern boundary, since the recent
Iowa and Kickapoo reservations were
taken froffi it, is about 81 deg. and 20
min. west longitude: It's southern boun-
Diary is the Canadian River. its west
ern boundary is practically the 9sth de-
gree Of west longitude from the Cana
dian River to the Cirhmaron, and thence
up that stream northwest to the line of
the Cherokee Strip. Oklahoma, ut PIES
ent, is about fifty miles In width from
east to west. and eighty in length north
to south. 1t originally belonged to the
Creeks and was secured to them by the
treaty of February IA, 1888, in pursuance
of act of congress of May %, 1880, by
which the president was authorized to
set apart the country now known as the
Indian Territory for the use of Indians
to be removed thereto from east of the
Mississippi river. BY the treaty made
August 18th, 1856, between the Creeks
and the United States, Oklahoma was
conveyed to the, Seminole Indians, on
the express condition that none of the
land so conveyed should be sold or
otherwise disposed of in the future
without the consent of both tribes. At
the end of the late war the Seminoles
and Greeks were declared to have for
feited many of their treaty rights by
having joined the Southern Confedera-
cy, and new treaties were made with
them, as with the other civilized tribes.
This treaty, dated March q, 1856, says: :
I'm compliance with a desire of the
United States to locate other Indians
and freedmen thereon the Seminoles
cede and convey to the United States
""OiA SheitO uOluaiii3 USluE ZIG IItCI VI
land ceded to the Seminole Indians by
the Creek nation Under provisions of
article l., treaty of the United States with
the Creeks and Seminoles, made August
Z, 1855, in view Of the urgent necessity
of the United States for more land in
the Indian Territory" 1t will be re-
membered that these Indian tribes all
owned slaves before the war. The
emancipation proclamation set them
free. The United States government,
not feeling confident that the freedmen
would be treated fairly by their former
Indian masters, or be assimilated or ac-
corded tribal rights, provided by this
treaty for a section of country upon
which they could be located by them
selves, precissls as the Cheyennes, Ar
apahoes. Kiawas, Con181fches, wichi-
tas; Pawnees, Sac and Fox; Nez Perces,

Kansas City Indicator Chambers is
becoming quite common in some por.
tions of Kansas the state veterinarian
is spending good deal of time inspect
ing horses in the northern counties and
those found affected or recently expos
ed are destroyed. Three persons have
died of the malady, two of whom be-
longed to Ottawa county, and the other
was a little girl in Jackson county, in
oculated through slight scratch on her
hand, from pet horse.
A Kansas cotemporary suggests that
barbed wire is doing about as much for
that state as the railroads. 1t is not diff
icult to agree with the idea. 1t adds a
market value to the uplands, and ena-
bles the farmer to enclose his land and
rent it for pasture, and to turn his own
stock upon it, which, under the old or
der of things, was impracticable. With
a good pasture enclosed it will not take
long for the average farmer to get a
bunch of stock of his own. When we
can turn all the grass in the country in
to beef our future will be assured.
The Livestock Indicator has it from
good authority that ID. T. Beals 81 Co.
have sold all of their interest in cattle
and lands in Kansas, Cherokee Strip.
Indian Territory and Panhandle of Tex
as to the Arkansas Valley Land and
Cattle Co. for 81 l,65O,OOO. The cattle are
guaranteed as numbering $4,000. The
land consists of 2OO, 600 acres on the Can
adian in the Panhandle of Texas, an
improved fine stock farm of 500 to zoo
acres in Kansas and leased land on the
Cherokee Strip. The terms of the sale
are 81 100000 cash-the balance four
years time at / per cent.

Colts should be halter-brOken while
following their dams; they never forget
it. Once broken, always broken. Young
sters may be weaned from their dams
at six months old. They should be fed
with oats and wheat bran when taken
from their mothers milk it viii keep
them growing through the first winter,
which is essential to early maturity.
The good start lays the foundation, in
bone and substance, for good horse.
Any check to the growth of the young
scion the first winter will seldom be re-
covered in after years. A colt neglect
ed the first winter never RECEIVERS its
proper shape, nor does it grow the size
and strength of body and limbs which
naturally appertain to its breed.

Two ladies moving in the highest cir
cles in Dodge City society, during a
friendly meeting on the street, got to
quarreling about their age, and used
very strong language toward each other.
At last as if to end the dispute, one of
them turned away and said in very
conciliatOry tone of voice LET us not
quarrel oyer the matter any more. I.
at least, have not the heart to do it. l
never knew who my mother was, she de-
serted me when baby, and who knows
but what you may have been the heart
less parent.'
