Minor Matters
THE INDIANS.
Contradictory Reports Concerning
the ChevenneS


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 17.--No report
has yet been received from the newspaper
correspondents who left here with Gen
Sheridan's party on Monday night for Fort
Reno. 1t is supposed that the party is water
bound at some point in the territory, the
streams generally beng much swollen. The
Adjutant General of Kansas, b. Campbell,
returned to Dodge City last night from a
four days tour to Fort Clark, and through
Comanche and Kingman counties, where he
has been investigating the Indian scare He
found the people much excited, and many ac-
tually moving out and leaving their homes.
In all his travels he has learned of no actual
depredations committed by the Indians, and
he has seen no one who has seen hostile
Indian within the State. He caused local
military companies to be organized and sup
piled them with State arms under direction
of Gov. Martin. Col. Compton is now tray
cling along the south line of the State, with
four companies of cavalry en- route for Deep
Hole, at the crossing where the Dodge and
Fort Supply trail crosses the Cimeron river
He will arrive there tomorrow night. With
the protection at present afforded along the
south border of the State, Gen. Campbell is
of the opinion that all the fears of the set
tiers will be dispelled, and that general
feeling of safety will soon prevail Many
who had left their homes are already return
ing.
a special to the Journal says the Indian
troubles are not thought to be settled yet, de-
spite the report from Fort Reno that the In
dians are fast returning to the agency 1t is
well known at the agency that warriors are
leaving every day in squads of ten to fifty,
and that they are taking out their best horses
and quantities of ammunition. 1t is a sig
niticant fact that they all go into the Texas
Pan Handle, and thence northward to the
Kansas line, where several squads of % or
80 have been recently seen. One party of 20
was seen going up heavily equipped and re-
turning with but few arms, evidently having
hidden their equipments in the sand hills
They claimed to be hunting stray horses.
Sixteen Cheyennes stopped a wild horse
catcher in the Territory, and took from him
thirty wild horses.
1t is believed that the Cheyennes will al
low themselves to be disarmed as soon as
they have hidden all their best arms; but
they evidently have an Intention of going
back to Nebraska, and they will attempt
probably, to cross Kansas in the same line
that they did seven years ago, except that
they will start farther Ewest. Cattlemen at
Dodge City think that they may be waiting
for full moon, according to their custom in
such expeditions. IT, however, they don't
make break within the next five days, it is
thought they will abandon the attempt

The Life is the Ri0ed-Prevenf Disease
Surgery the Last ResOrt-A Telling
Letter.
Here is a fact for you to think over, viz Med
ical science proves that diseases, no matter how
great variety they seem to have, proceed from
comparatively few causes. 1t is for this reason
that some single medicines relieve or cure so wide
a range of complaints-some of them appearing
almost directly opposite in their natures. When
medical preparation acts at once upon the di-
gest1ye and urinary organs, and also puriies the
blood the list of difficulties subject to its control
is astonishing. But, while many things are said
to possess this power those which actually do ex-
ert it are very rare.
TIE REMEDY, of Rondout, N. Y, is the most
effective preparation now in use for all diseases
arising from foul or impure state of the circula-
ton. Hence it is more than likely that if the
writer of the following letter had habtualiy taken
"FAVORITE REMEDY" ten years ago, he would
never have suffered from Cancer.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN.
A Massachusetts Tribute to MaIne's
Distinguished ex-senator.
lEyery Other Saturday,

OF all the distinguished men who have re-
tired from public life, no one is more respect
ed, no one is more entitled to respect than
Hannibal Hamln of Maine. His public career
extends over period Of about half CEN
tury; and he is now in the full possession of
his faculties, taking deep interest in pub
lie affairs, cheerful as the day, and without
touch of the gloomy rebodings-sometime
elouded with msToseness-which too often
wait upon those who have been so long de-
pendent upon the excitements of public life
as to feel uncomfortable when deprived of
them. Originally Democrat, and one of
the leaders, he became a Republican, and
has always exercised great influence. A
strong partisan, he has been subjected to
severe criticism, but his personal integrity
was never called in question; and now, in
his old age, no one is more respected
throughout the State he served so well, and
especially in the city where he has stood
pre-eminent during nearly the whole Of his
active life. Mr.. Hamlin was never an orator
OF the highest type but he was f0rcible
and interesting speaker, who had something
to say and knew how to do it. He has ex-
erted vastly more influence than he had the
credit for outside of Maine. In the Senate,
his opinion always had weight, his services
on committees were appreciated, and no
member of Congress ever did more quiet
work in the departments, or labored more
for his constituents, or tried harder to ac-
complish fair results than he. One of the
ablest lawyers in the country was once pros
ecuting just claim at Washington, and
spoke of the efficient and disinterested aid
he received from the Maine Senator, and
declared that she was worth an army Of TO-
900 men," Here is a fine specimen of the
American citizen. Coming Of excellent
stock in Oxford county, without the benit Of
a college education, he has preserved the
even tenor of his way through good report
and evil report, holding almost every Office
in the gift Of the people, and now at an age,
when, as DR.. Watts says,
1--WE rather sigh and groan than live,"
the Senator is cheerful and happy, hopeful
and gentle, cultivating his farm or throwing
the line with ground bait or fly, simple and
unOstentatious; but, holding political Opin-
ions as firm as Katahdin, he is as ready to
defend them as when he stood at the capitol
amid the din of war, or marched as a vOlun-
teer in the ranks

Albert HardweII Smith.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
We would call the attention OF the public to AL
bert Hardwell Smith, brave man, Christian and
soldier, and the only man in the world with one
arm who plays the either and nine instruments
The either is a compound of the harp and guitar.
1t has finger board, of from four to six strings,
and from twenty-eight to thirty accompaniment
strings. The instrument is not so well known in
the United States as in Germany and by the Tyro-
leSe it is used as their national instrument and
has all the poetry of music.
In july 1864, Mr.. Smith reenlisted in the 30th
Massachusetts Volunteers, and was with the ar
my in number of engagements including the
battles of Weldon Railroad, Hatehers run, and
Five Forks, and was at the SURRENDERED Gen.

CHILDREN cREMATED.
a Father and Mother See Their Lit
tie Ones Perish.

PITTsBuRG, July 17.-Last night, about II
o'clock, the residence of Josiah M. Evans. a
small two story log hut, three miles from
Grayhampton, Clearfield county, was de-
stroyed by fire, and six of his children, rang
ing IN age from to 10 years, were cremated.
Evans was awakened by strange noises, and
under the impression that burglars were
about, took his gun and went outside to in
tXsesttlggate, tsst when to his horror he discovered
that his humble dwelling was in flames. He
quickly gave the alarm, but before he could
reach his six children, who were sleeping ON
the second floor, the roof fell in, and in few
minutes the building was all ablaze. His
wife and three younger children, sleeping ON
the lower floor, were taken out safely, but
the parents were forced to see the others
perish in the flames.
