Great Falls tribune., 1888-09-29


Austin, Texas, special says: .All day Sun
day and Monday the most alarming tele-
grams continued to pour in on Governor
Ross, informing him that a war, bloody
and fierce, was raging on the Texas from
tier and that Rio Grande city has been
for the past "a hours in the possession Of
an armed Mexican mob. All telegrams
came either from John P. Nelsey, coun-
ty judge Of Starr county, or the sheriff,
and each succeeding one was more start
ling and sensational than the other. All
the kilograms demand troops immediate
ly and convey the impression in plain
words that rampant anarchy runs riot on
the border and that the lives Of American
citizens in that region are imminent peril.
This extraordinary and sensational state
Of affairs had it's origin in fatal en-
counter at Rio Grande city last Saturday
between Caterino b. Garcia, editor Of the
El Commerce. Mexicano, and the United
States revenue officer, Victor Sebree lii
the fight Sebree shot and killed Garcia,
who was very popular all along the Rio
Grande, and, as result, the Mexicans
rose il revolt and undertook to lynch Sc
bree.
AN APPEAL FOR AID.
The Texas officers, however, tried to
save him for the time from the fury Of
the mob, and wired Governor Ross as
follows:
a great riot is raging here. Armed
state rangers on call, or the United States
troops at Fort Ringold.
This message was followed by another
from 7. W. Kennedy, a member Of the
legislature, as follows:
Send all the available troops you can
at once. Armed Mexicans are in control
Of the city and country.
a fight has just taken place between
Two Mexicans, and one American. A
Mexican was killed. The Mexicans now
demand that the American be delivered
to them. "A riot was prevented by plac-
Ing the American under arrest.
TRYING TO LYNCH sEBREE.
Another telegram reads,
Over 100 armed Mexicans are attempt
ing to lynch Sebree. Send the rangers at
once. The city is eighty miles from the
nearest railroad station, and extremely |
difficult to reach. Gov. Ross has ordered
the entire rangers force Of Texas to
proceed with all possible haste to the |
scene. The Mexicans number ten to one
of the white citizens in that section, and |
there is no telling to what excess they |
will resort to, especially, as they would |
have no difficulty in escaping to Mexico.
Gov. Ross also telegraphed all the sheriffs |
Of the counties on the border to proceed |
by forced marches to the troubled dis |
trict He likewise telegraphed the San
Antenio rifles, the Belknap rifles, and the
Houston light guards to hold themselves
in readiness, to march at a moments no
tice. It's believed t.lat there will be a
general massacre Of Texas citizens, un
less Tinted States troops from Fort Ring
old, come to the rescue. The affair is |
likely to lead to international complica
tions last night, Gov. Ross said the stu
alton is ext emely grave, and the absence
Of adyices for several hours, gave rise to
the worst fears.

The election of HARRISON and Morton
means everything for Dakota.
1t means her immediate division and
the admission of the south half.
1t means that she will be represent
ed in congress by republican senators
and representatives.
1t means her state officers, governor,
Secretary, treasurer, auditor, judges
and the rest will be republicans.
1t means that her capital, her courts,
her public institutions will be located
by republican votes in the Legislature,
or by popular ballot.
This time come the localities which
shows the most satisfactory republican
credentials will be in the direct line of
preferment.
The county which comes out of the
election with mixed result. or with
scratch majority for the most of the
ticket, can sit quietly and cool her
heels in the outer court of the temple.
Sully is all right.

CHEWING DECREASING.
Reasons Why Dealers DO Not Sell as MucI
Plug" as Formerly.

Reasons hhy Dealers DO Not Sell rs Much
Plug" rs Formerly.
When the elder Charles Dickens was in
this country on his first visit there was no
one of the American habits which called
forth from the great novelist more condem-
nation than the one Of chewing tobacco
says the New York Press. But times change,
and National as well as personal habits
change with them-America is no longer a
nation OF tobacco chewers, and that manner
Of using tobacco is gradually, but surely,
passing away.
Every tobacconist recognizes the great
change that is taking place in what in one
sense may be termed the public taste. A
tobacco dealer, whose trade is not almost
exclusively among sailors, says that he does
nut sell one-half as much chewing tobacco
to-day as he did ten years ago, and not more
than one-third as much as twenty years
ago. Said one of them few days ago:
'The falling off in the use of chewing to-
bacco is a great deal more apparent here in
the East than 1t is in the South and West,
but it is noticeable everywhere One cause
for the decadence of the habit is undoubted-
ly due to the growth OF public opinion that
ii is an uncleanly habit. II is hard also for
man addicted to the habit TO keep from
showing evidences Of 1t on his clothes and
person.
"But the principal causes are right here.
There is great deal more dyspepsia and
stomach trouble in the country now than
there used to be, and no person with weak
stomach can chew tobacco. The action Of
the tobacco juice, which trickles down the
throat of u chewer, is to paralyze the action
of the stomach. 1t will accomplish that
long before tobacco smoke will leave any
perceptible effect upon the lungs. Then,
again, the cigarette has done great deal
to put an end to the chewing habit.
"The growth Of tho cigarette practice In
this country is and has been phenomenal.
The consumption OF cigarettes has multi
piled many times during the last fifteen
years. About seven out of every ten boys
now growing up smoke cigarettes. After
boy has smoked cigarettes for few years
he has not only no taste for tobacco in any
other form, but he has no stomach or con-
stitution left to stand chewing tobacco.
"The sufferings which an inveterate to-
bacco chewer endures when he first de-
prives himself of his accustomed weed
are popularity supposed to be almost intol.
cradle. Some ex-chewers say they are,
while others maintain that they are nothing
which a resolute will and clear bead can
not easily master. All agree, however, that
they have TO use some substitute at first,
oe 1t only match or wooden toothpick."
