penas iar 100 witnesses have already
been issued at the instance of the
prosecution. II Judge Douglass once
lets down the gates the field will be
rich.
Court Square is beginning to re-
vive under the fragrant breath OF
balmy spring. The grass is spring
ing up greenly in the bare places, the
trees and shrubs are filed with buds
and tender shoots, and the glad notes
OF the birds peal sweet forth from
the swinging boughs and waving
twigs. A little while and il will be
clothed in all its verdant loneliness.
Although there is a great deal of
improvement going on in this city, it
is proper 10 say that there are carpen-
tiers and bricklayers enough, and
more than enough, to do the work
that offers. Strangers coming here do
so at great risk unless they are en-
ployed under written contracts. They
overcrowd the labor market and tend
to reduce prices.
Something ought TO be done
either by the city or the Citizens

pavement at the junction Of Second

forms that people have to wade
through, or, 10 avoid, have to go half
block out of their way. II is a nui-
sance that ought not TO be permitted
a day longer.
The Western Telegraph Company,
in connection with the Baltimore and
Ohio and Mackay and Bennett cables,
are now prepared with new direct
lines to all principal and many other
points, 10 furnish gilt edged tele-
graph service. First-class operators
and latest improved instruments, in
surfing rapid and correct transmission.
Reduced rates TO all points. Lines are
being extended and new offices opened
daily.
The last general meeting for the
present of ladies interested in the
coming Old Times entertainment will
take place this Tuesday afternoon at
4 o'clock at 273 Main street, when the
committee hopes to complete the sew
eral rolls. Many additional volun-
teers, for sweet charity's sake, are
needed and expected. Reports of
available material for the exhibit or
for furnishing will be welcomed, and
an antiquarian will be chosen to take
charge OF rare and curious relics.

A New York drummer, who trav-
els over the entire country, was
Dragging about the advantages Of
living in Gotham, but he had to ad-
NIT that in the Misft Clothing Par
lors, 262 Second street, Memphis has
the best and cheapest clothing house
in the United States. He also had
to concedc that the Memphis girls
are the prettiest in the country and
that the men here, as a general rule,
are better dressed than those Of any
American city.
Memphis men can afford to dress
well. The Misfit Clothing Parlors
gives them the advantage of buying
fine merchant tailor's clothing at
about one-half its actual value.
The Misft Clothing ParloTs be-
Iieve in Dragging when it has some
thing to braG about. We have been
busy during the past two months
hunting up bargains for Spring. We
now have our ParlOrs. packed with
beautiful new goods. Better still,
our prices are wonderfully low.
Come quick and inspect these hand
some goods.
Remember, all alterations to in
sure perfect fit done free of charge
by 6rst-c class tailor.

TO THE TRADE:
We made a contract some months
ago with George Hooker, the manu-
facturer of the celebrated Hooker
Boot" for the exclusive handling Of
his boots at wholesale in this market,
and have advertised in various news
papers to this effect. We notice re-
Gently that another Wholesale shoe
house in Memphis is advertising
that they have George Rockers calf
boots for sale, manufactured for the
spring trade. In order that we should
not be placed in false attitude be-
fore the trade, we wrote to Mr.. Hook
er on February 9th to know whether
or not he had sold his calf boots to
any other wholesale house In Mem
phis, and we herewith publish his
reply. Very respectfully,

The following from the Denver Tribune
Republican, regarding the condition of
the Shoshones who are located on a res
e~rvation in Central Wyoming, is impor-
tant. if true
The condition of the Shoshones is pitt
able. They live upon a reservation in
which but little game is to be found, and
thes are not provided with sufficient food
to keep them all from starving. 1t is said
that every spring a large number of the
tribe die from starvation. A pretense is
made to teach the Shoshones farming,
but there is only one farmer among them
to give them instruction, and they receive
only a scant allowance ofseed. The small
quantities of grain and potatoes which are
sent them are eaten in order to fight away
starvation. But although they are given
an insufficient quantity of food, and only
a small allowance of seed, it seems that
they have been supplied with expensive
farm machinery. ltlooks as though there
were a job in this. Some contractor
has probably made money out of sales of
farm machinery to these Indians. 1t
is a disgrace to the American people that
these Indians should be permitted to .suf-
fer in this way. They have for twenty
years been friendly to the whites. but now
they see that the friendly spirit they have
shown has done them no good. The folly
of feeding, clothing and armiug the hos.
tile and savage Indians, and of allowing
those who are friendly to the whitet to
remain unclothed and unfed, has marked
the policy of the government in dealing
with the Indians upon more than one 90
casion. The friendly tribes, seeing that
they are neglected and that the hostiles
are provided for. have a strong incentive
to become hostile themselves. They
conclude, with much show Of rea-
son. that they can secure an
abundance of food and clothing
only by fighting for it. If the people of
the East could be taught to consider the
Indian question from a sensible stand
point, it might be possible to secure the
adoption OF a policy which would settle
that question satisfactorily both to the
Indians and to the whites. But as a rule
Eastern men will not listen to what
Western men say about the Indians.
They presume that they only would deal
justly with them. and that all white men
in the West are murderers at heart, and
would rejoice at the opportunity of be-
coming so in act, in so far as the Indians
are concerned.
