GERoNIMo's CAMP SURPRISED AND HIS
FOOD SUPPLIES CAPTURED.
Washington, July 2-Adiutant Gener
al Drum to-day received the following
telegram from Gen. Miles, dated July
%:
Capt. Lawton reports, through Col
Royal, commanding at Fort Huachuaco
that his command surprised Geronimo's
camp IN the Monge river, about q
hundred and thirty miles south and east
OF Compass, Sonora, or nearly 300 miles
south of the Mexican boundary, cap
turing oil the Indian property, including
hundreds of pounds Of dried meat and
ninteen horses.
This 10 tho fifth time within three
months in which the Indians have been
surprised by the troops. While these
results have not been decisive, yet il
has given encouragement to the troops
and has reduced the number aud
strength Of the Indians and has given
them a feeling of insecurity. even in the
remote and almost impenetrable
mountains of Mexico.

49,
Washington, July 2l--This mornings
Washington Post editorially gives prom.
inence to the following, under the cap
tion OF ."Those Western Lands:p "Mr.
Laird's assault on Cobb was perhaps the
method that could have been
by him desired to diveRs public atten-
tion from the notorious land swlndlers Of
the northwest, of which the Nebraska
pugilist is certainly cognizant, If he is
not even more intimately acquainted
with them than that neutral work would
imply. MI. Laird knew as
we'll as Mr.. Sparks OF
Mr.. Cobb does that q very large pro-
portion of entries of Nebraska farms are
fraudulent and for the enrichment or
non-residents, and he thinks it is for his
interest to browbeat and, if possible,
discredit everybody who seriously at
tempts to expose the iniinite .jerjuries
and forgeries by which bis constituents
have covered their tracks, Mr.. Sparks
had only two secret agents in Nebraska,
but they discovered that these fraudu.
lent entries were perpetrated by the
Wholesale, and In going up the valley of
one river they found no evidence Of
settlement on the land which had been
pre.empted under o lay requiring con-
secutiyea occnpany and permanent build
ings. Mr.. Cobb is entitled to much
credit for the energy he has shown in
exposing the tricks Of the land swindIer,
and his persistence has made land rob.
bling mora difficult hereafter. IN the
personal collision he was struck by the
Omaha slugger when off his guard. But
his conduct has been fearless and marty
throughout, requiring no defense or
yindication. He was rightfully regarded
by his constituents as the man who did
mora than any other member to defend
the American patrimony from its most
audacious and insolant plundersrs."

THE CRAWFORD DIVORCE AFFAIR DRAWING
NEAR TO AN FND-MoRE OF THE TEsTI-
MoNy.
London July 22-In the Crawford
divorce case to-day Capt. Foster admit
ted that he had been guilty OF
adultery with Mrs. Crawford. He said
Mrs. Rogerson encouraged his relation
ship with Mrs. Crawford. He once
quarrelled with Dixie and called him a
liar, scoundrel and coward, because he
had secretely attempted to sever the
relations between Mrs. Crawford and
the witness. He also attempted to
thrash Sir Charles, but desisted at Mrs.
Rogerson,s %entreaty.
Mrs. Rogerson, on being recalled,
denied the statement just made by
Foster.
Mathews then addressed the jury or
behalf OF the petitioner, Mr.. Crawford,
whom the lawyer described as the only
one who emerged clean from amidst this
plentiful throwing of the foulest mud.
The lawyer ridicnled Dilke's reason for
remaining silent during the previous
trial when there was produced against
him strong and damning evidence OF
brutal adultery. Mathews did not
minee matters. He described things
with such power as to intensely excite
Dixie, who became liYid with rage and
twice jumped to his feet and essayed to
speak, but was sternly prevented by the
Judge.
FOUND GUILTY.
London, July 223-The case of Craw-
ford against Crawford and Dixie was
given to the Jury this afternoon. They

OF the revenge circular in the office Of

gariing the finding OF dynamite mater

Origin of Gard Games.

The origin of card games can not
probably be traced with any certainty.
1t has been generally believed that
"playing cards." as they are known at
the present day, were invented by
French painter named Gringonneur, for
the amusement of his imbecile king,
Charles VI, and it is evident from the
following extract from an account of
this kings treasurer, that this artist did
make for his weak-minded sovereign
some elegant sets of cards: paid JAG
duemen Gringonneur, painter, for three
packs of cards, in gold and colors, of
divers devices, to present to said lord
and king for his amusement, sixty soils
parises. But it is claimed that he
merely made copies, possibly in new de-
signs, of cards already well-known, and
that playing cards came from the east,
their origin being lost in remote anti
guilty. The Gypsies may have been the
first to introduce them into Europe, but
these were very different in design and
purpose from the cards used in France
They had in the incidental combination
of their emblematical figures, fancied
Interpretation of the will of the I'M
known Gods, the games being series
of questions addressed to fate, and to
the results of which the players bowed
with reverential awe. AS early as A.
ID. 1920, China had playing cards, said
to have come from lndia.-MittOn Brad

Big Stone Co. Herald: Mr.. G. E..
Brooks has just returned from ST..
Paul, where he went to consult with
capitalists from the east who made
the following proposition to him: If
the Ortonville & Lake Superior would
turn over to them the $4,000 bonus
already voted by Ortonville to this
company, for road to be built from
Morris here by October '2sth. 1885, and
also have $4,000 additional bonus
voted, they would agree to have a
road constructed between these points
in the time specified. It was, howev-
er, arranged that it should reach to
Big Stone City. D. T. The people
there few years ago voted almost
unanimously a $4,000 bonus for a
road from Morris, which, at meet
ing held there last evening, they agree
to turn over to the new enterprise.
This complies fully with our part of
the contract, and the citizens of Or
tonville and Big Stone City may con-
fidently expect to see the locomotives
of the rew road steaming in here be-
fore Noy. 1st, 1886. The road, it is un-
derstood, will be continued to Huron
on the following season.

The following are the statistics of
live stock:
1SS5-Sheep, 1,115, with 1929 lbs of
wool in the spring. 1SS4-793 sheep,
with Isl lbs of wool in the fall.
1S85-Milch cows, 1897, and in 1884
there were 2,158, producing 49, 65 lbs
of butter, and 1880 lbs of cheese.
Other cattle, in 1885, 5,162, and 9th
er sheep, 1865; horses, 2,043; mules
and asses, 70; hogs, 1904.
Number of farms in 1884, 341; 1885,
1854.
The figures speak for themselves,
showing that the agricultural pro-
ducts, ETC., of the county, are con-
stantly increasing in value.
The farmers throughout the county
are progressive and enterprising as a
rule and are each year making many
new improvements that greatly in
crease the value of their farms. A
large proportion of the population of
the county are foreigners, being COM
posed of Germans, Swedes, Irish, etc.
The Municipalities usually settle in a
district by themselves, and they pos
sess steady habits and a wonderful
amount of industry and thrift, often
being the superiors of their American
brothers in the cultivation of their
farms.
We have spoken of the railroad ia
cilities afforded by the three lines of
roads, which traverse the county
north, south, east and west, furnish
ing plenty of good shipping and mar
ket points, the most important being
Morris, Hancock, Donnelly and Clear
field. In these places there are to-
tai of eight elevators and warehouses
with combined capacity of 100000
Bushels. The highest market prices
for grain are paid by the elevators,
and the farmer who is at all industri-
Gus can do well in Stevens county,
since nature offers him the best in
ducements in land that can not be ex-
celled and which he can secure at low
prices and on easy terms.
Good roads, bridges, ETC., ere found
throughout the county, and school
houses and churches are to be seen
everywhere.
To those in search of new homes,
and who wish to settle in a peaceful
community, and in u county that of
fers inducements of every character,
we recommend Stevens county, as it
possesses all essential features, and
with it's diversified resources and an
army of field officers" it is rapidly
becoming one of the richest and
wealthiest counties in the state.

The following is said to be the Dem
ocratic slate for state officers this year
Governor, Eugene M. Wilson, Mime
apolis; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, J. N. Cas-
tie, Saltwater; secretary of state, r..
L. O'Connor, st. Paul; attorney gen.
eral, Thomas Wilson, Winona; state
treasurer, John f. Meagher, Manka-
to; state auditor, Z. p. Barnum, Sank
Centre; clerk of the supreme court,
Matt Donahue, Bird Island; justice
of the supreme court, Ell. r. Wells,
Preston.
In some respects the slate is an ex-
cellent one and in others it is not. e.
M. Wilson is superior to any person
yet suggested for governor by the Re-
Dublicans. Thomas Wilson, of Wi
mona, has more than ordinary qualifi-
cations for attorney general and III r.
Wells of Preston will do for justice Of
the supreme court. In other respects
the slate is open to criticism. The
Republicans have a decided advant-
age but, with the balance of power in
the hands of the farmers Alliance
and knights of Labor, they must be
exceedingly careful to make worthy
nominations this year or victory will
rest with the opposition.

GAINESVILLE Argus: The Alliance
movement is taking stronger hold of
the hearts of the farmers than the old
grange movement ever attained, and
there can be but one question regard
ing its outcome; it will prove bless
ing or a curse just in proportion to the
spirit of fairness and honesty of pur-
pose exhibited. If the interested par.
ties, the leaders, use it as a stepping
stone to office, or if the members al
low the organization to be controlled
by political wire pullers and known
demagogues, then its usefulness will
prove abortive. This seems to be the
case now to a certain extent, though,
we are pleased to state, not wholly.
