Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
MUsRoGEE, l, IT,, July 20--A strange
story comes from Wagner's switch, near
Gibson. On last Sunday the foreman OF
the section on arriving found an anouy-
nous letter under his door, stating that
on the evening following Ida Perry,
pretty girl OF seventeen, working at the
section-house, would be a corpse. The
letter purported to be from friend who
was so deeply interested in her welfare,
and who so disliked to see her suffering,
compelled TO work and endure hardships,
that for her own sake he had decided TO
put her out OF the way. That he had
tried II twice before and failed, but this
time aid should not reach her until too
late. Sunday morning Miss Perry was
found ok, and an examination by physi.
cIans found all the symptoms Of violent
sTychnlne poisoning, and she can hardly
survive While dellrlous, with incoherent
intervals, she talked of one Roland
Esgenie, whom She described as a tall,
dark complicated man, with dark
mustache and eyes. She called on him
to go away and leave her in peace. That
she had lett Parsons, where he had before
tried to kill her with knife, especially
to get away from him. That she did not
want his money or rings, only wanted TO
be let alone. About month before Il
was remembered stranger answering
her description had stopped for meal at
the section house, and that she appeared
agitated during his stay. Otherwise nc
| one OF that appearance has been noticed
about the place. A strychnine bottle
with heavy dose gone was found In the
kitchen after she was taken sick. The
question Is; Is II a suicide and the letter
or friend who has pursued her TO her
grave. The officers are investigating the
matter and further developments viii
probably follow.

Gratifying Results In the Education or
Young Indians at Wabash, Ind,

WABASH, md, Jan. 3.--Fosty of the
sixty-eight Modoc and Sioux Indian
children who, for three years past,
have been receiving instruotioa Ntthe
expense Of the United States govern
ment, in the institution five miles
south of this city, arc now being pre-.
pared for return the Indian Territory,
having completed the course Of study
assigned them.
The children, none of whom are
over twenty years Of age, were gath
cred up in Wyoming, Dakota and the
Indian Territory in 1883, and brought
to the Institute for education under q
ruling of the interior department,
forcing the instruction of n number
of Indians at public expense for q
period of five years. Owing to the
rapid advancement made by these
children of nature, they have coni-
pleted their studies two years short Of
the time allotted them, and they are
now to give place to others who are
waiting for the privilege.
On March l, in charge of the super.
intendent, the board will start west,
and upon reaching the Territory the
boys, who in addition to their marked
progress in literary work have been
carefully instructed in the tillage Of
the soil, will be given eighty acres
each of good farming land, and en-
couraged to adopt agricultural pur-
suits. The girls, who have developed
during their stay great ability in the
subject Of mathematics and the Eng
lish language, arc also proficient in
the discharge of household duties.
They are expected to take immediate
charge Of the Indian schools, for the
education of their less favored broth
ers and sisters.

The Fort Worth Gazette, says the
Burnet Bulletin, has taken up the
cudgel for deep water at Sabine Pass,
and is working with will to enlist
favor from every quarter of the state.
III deep water can be obtained for the
sum of money represented in the fol-
lowing from the Gazette, let it be
done, and the whole state will be
profted thereby. We need deep wa
ter at Sabine, Galveston and Aransas,
and the Bulletin hopes to see the day
when we will have it. We are not in
favor Of cutting any off of deep water,
and we agree with the Gazette when
it says:
1.-THE Issue OF deep water is not
whether this or that point shall be Sc
lected; it is not whether individual
interests will be advanced or retarded;
il is simply whether this great state
and the northwest shall have deep
water at that place where it can be
soonest, cheapest and permanently
secured. One million Of dollars will
give twenty feet Of water at Sabine;
one million for Sabine has been rec.
commended; why fight this recon-
mendation, unless it be shown that
one million will not accomplish good
at Sabinei The state and people Of
Texas need deep water, and it matters
not to them at what point it is Sc
cured. so they get it.
