Worland Items.

Worland Items.
ED. TIMES. We thought a few
items from Worland and vicinity
might perhaps be accepted by you
and would possibly be of interest to
your readers.
To begin, We will tell you where
we are and something Of our sur
roundings.
Worland is in Bates Co. Mo, on
the No. Pacific R. r. i miles east
from the state line of Missouri and
Kansas. l! miles south of the Mmias
Des Cygne river. The town site is
near and partly on what was once
the Yoakum farm, is seven miles
from Pleasanton on the west, and
five miles from Foster on the east.
To the south. east and west Of Wor-
land is as fine farming country as
one will often see, improved with
many fine residences, and barns sur
rounded with fine lunches of stock.
1t is not chiefly to agriculture, how
ever. that Worland will owe her fu-
ture greatness, (and at no distant flu
ture either.) for she is surrounded
with undoubtedly the finest and
most entire vein OF coal anywhere
on the border, the entire country be
ing underlaid with splendid coal,
and a great deal Of it, at Il depth
which will admit Of stripping, while
all of the hills and ridges offer splen
did places Tor drifting.
Coal in this country has beer
mined for several years for loca
trade, but since the coming of thu
railroad the superior quality of th
coal has opened up for itself a de

4 War Impending In Africa,

The German papers commencing on the
Zanzibar affair and the latter reports con-
corning the white pasta, state that the
world must be prepared to hear, IN very
short time, of some OF the most remarkable
events that have ever taken place in Africa
blood will flow on the shores of the Nile, but
the result will be a blessing to man
kind. The contest between the Semit-
ic Arab and the 1ndo Ger
manic race has reached a crisis in the hot
test zone on ear h. Germany is not at all
anxious that Lieut.. Wissman should take
part in q Nile expedition, but on the con-
trary is most anxious to see either the
British or Egyptian government send force
northward from Wady-Halfa to cooperate
with the white pasha in his advance on
Khartoum. If such an expedition were
successful Germany would reap a considerable
part of the reward as great
impetus would be given to German
trade in Africa. Correspondents at Suakim
continue to assert that there can be no doubt
rs to the presence OF white pasha in Rahr-
El-Ghazel. During the past few days many
more pilgrims and refugees have arrived from
that neighborhood and they are unanim ous
in asserting that an armed force under o
white pasha is at Darfour and that the ma.
tives are in friendly communication with the
leader. Premier Crispis' interviews with
Prince Bismarck and Count Kalnoeky sur
pass in Importance the interviews between
the car and Emperor William. The league
against France has been very materially
strengthened and there is now no doubt that
Prince Bismarck is encouraging Italy to the
adoption and pursuit of an aggressive policy.
Italy Is, OF course. mere cat's-paw in the
hand of Germany, fact which Premier Crispi
cannot fail to realize, but the advantages of
fered to her by her allies are too aIluripg to
be ignored, and she will doubtless have very
little hesitation in bringing about the con.
! Hict Germany desires but dares not precipi-
tate herself.

list of 81 new cases, with Is others reported
up to noon, has again sent the people panic
stricken in every direction. The trains are
filed with refugees en- route to the North.
The hot, murky and rainy weather ofthe past

the number of cases will increase daily. The
disease also seems to be assuming a violent
type, and the people are greatly alarmed. The

Thirty -four new cases were reported to the

county Jail. With few exceptions the minis

duty. They are nearly all on relief commit

doned, and the citizens here have resolved to

ton and do their duty nobly.

The Grow Creek Pow.WOw.

The first council with the Indians at the
Grow Creek agency has taken place. The
Indians had previously selected their spokes-
men, all of whom are chiefs, the orators be-
ing as follows: Head Chief White Ghost,
Chief Drifting Goose, Chief Bull Ghost. The
younger and more intelligent element, how
ever, object to this arrangement
and insist that each one should
be permitted to express his own
one Indian on the reservation is equal to an
other and that it would be impossible for
any one or half-dozen men to express the
wishes of the entire tribe There will be a
strong objection raised to this plan. The
Indians held big council on the prairie near
the agency, when speeches for and against
were delivered. Certain chiefs who are op-
posed to the bill are attempting to intimidate
those favorable by threats of violence as at
Standing Rock. but it does not appear as
though their bulldozing and intimidations
will have the overawing effect that it
had up the river. The younger and more
| progressive element is rather independent
and assert that they should be allowed to do
as they see fit, and are not influenced to any
great extent by the action of the chiefs who
are opposed. One of the most serious oh.
structions which is being met, and which will
be met at other agencies, lies in the fact that
| those who are opposed decidedly to the rati-
fcation of the bill are daily and hourly max
| ing their objections known, and work inces-
sanity to carry their point, while those who
would sign are simply willing and do not
| exert themselves to any extent. tits believed
I however, that the commissioners will present
! the matter in such q manner that they will
assert their rights regardless of the interior.

Pauper Emmigration.

Fhe COMPRESSION al immigration COMMITTEES
commenced it's inves LEGATION at Boston. Mr.
Wrightington, superintendent of indoor
poor, testified that the increase of lunacy in
Massachusetts, was due to immigration.
Fifty-seyen paupers have stopped during the
year at Boston, fully $50 paupers, assisted
here by the Luke society, had been sent back.
Trouble had been caused by mission Jews,
the worst class Of emigrants. Emigrants Of
the present time were more intelligent than
formerly. The present surfeit of laborers
compels good men to become paupers, land un-
restricted immigration is the cause Indiscrim-
mate emigration is more an evil than benefit.
The present law is not sufficient. There
should be inspectors across the water. One
way Of preventing immigration of convicts
would be to compel every alient to make oath
that for six months or year he had not been
confined in any institution. The witness did
not think it wise to place the business in the
hands of federal officers, states supervision
proving more efficient. Out Of $4,000 emf
grants who came to this part last year 1 900
we're under contract, and witness favored q
lax of SO per head. This might stop i'm
migration to some extent, bnt the time has
arrived when emigration has ceased to be ol
value to this country. About 40 per cent
went to the interior. Within o few years q
change of feeling has taken place, and some
of the strongest opponents of indiseriminate
immigration were children of immigrants.

A Wicked Sea Captain.

Twelve sailors from the English bark Gy6e,
who arrived in New York on the steamer
Persian Monarch, appeared before the British
consul and through Boatswain Bergquest
charged that in their opinion and belefCapt.
TAFT, of the Gyfe, made futile attempt to
cast the bark away in the hope of robbing
the insurance companies The Gyfe sailed
from Quebec On July 8, loaded with timber
bound to Greenock. Scotland. The vessel
sprung leak and returned to St. Johns, N.
F. After being repaired she again resumed
her voyage. She sprang leak again
ON the night Of Aug. 10, but by means
of the pumps the men easily kept the water
from gaining any Roadway. On the morning
of the goth the pumps gave out altogether.
and the mon swear the pumps, which were
new, had been tampered with. John Brown,
the steward, swears that on the Goth he saw
the captain and mate go down into the bold
and the mate boring holes with an auger.
When the Persian Monarch came to the
Gyfie's assistance all hands with the excep-
ton of Second Mate Robinson went on board.
The latter rsfused to leave the vessel, be-
lieving he could keep her afoat. Capt. TAFT
and his first mate, seeing the determination
of Robinson not to leave the vessel, returned
to the Gyfe. but the rest of the crew refused
to accompan them.

grant. The grant was originally made by
the Mexican government to Beaubian and
Miranda, two Mexicans, who were given two
square leagues of 96, 900 acres of land, pro-
viding that they would cultivate the same.
Tho boundaries of the grant now contain
1,75O, 900 acres. The manner In which the
grant grew to it's present proportions is one
of the causes of the trouble. The settlers liv-
ing within the boundaries ofthe grant charged
that the original property was enlarged by
fraudulent means. The highest tribunal in the
land department has held, however, there
was no fraud. and refused to set aside the
patent granted by congress. Hundreds OF
settlers have improved homes and lived
there so many years that they considered
themselves rightfuly in possession and look
upon the threatened ejectment as an outrage
Soon after the decision of the court the grant
people proposed to purchase the settlers i'm
provements and stock at the market price,
after which they were to vacate, or they
would sell them the land Mt reasonable
figures. Many settlers accepted the PROPOSE
ton and sold out or purchased land at a
price ranging from $3.50 to $40 an acre.
The grant company claim to treat the
settlers justly, but charges have been made
that in many instances settlers have been
made to pay an exorbitant price for premises
upon which they have been living for many
years. The settlers are now up in arms, be-
ing led to it by the incendiary talk of evil
disposed persons. They are under the i'm
preston that they are fighting for their
homes and families.

Left His Property to the Devil.

Helsingfors Letter, London Daily News.
The following singular case is
troubling the heads of the Finnish
lawyers at present: A man died q
week or two ago in Pielisjavi, in the
interior of the country, who was said
to have led bad and ungodly life.
He had always been known to be we'll
of, but nobody knew how he had
gained his possessions. There were
many strange stories afloat, but one
which was credited more than all the
rest was to the effect that Huolarinen,
as was his name, had in his early
days been on an intimate footing with
"Wihtahausu" (the ssevil one'', with
whom he had had several transac-
tions of q commercial character.
When Hoularinen's viii was opened
it was found that he had bequeathed
all his landed property and posses
sions to the devil. The family ma
turally protested against the win,
and the question now arises how this
ticklish matter is to be settled,
Everybody seems anxious not to
offend any Of the parties concerned.
There can be no doubt that the devil
is thus q landowner, by legal right,
