Confirmation Of the Reports of Blood
Work in Stevens County


Work in Stevens County.
TOPEKA, July 29th.-Advices received to-
day by Governor Martin from the scene OF
the war In Stevens county state that the
affair has not been exaggerated in the least.
The number of men killed during the con-
fiict is reliably stated to be six, including
Sheriff Cross. A telegram was received
this evening by the Governor, which said
the whole country is in arms, ana the feel
ing is SO intense there is likely to be an out
break at any moment which would result
in wholesale bloodshed.
There Is no telegraph station within forty
miles of the scene, and it is impossible to
obtain direct information as to the true
state of affairs. Governor Martin dis
patched Attorney General Bradford this
afternoon to the scene. He will be ioined
by rigadier-General Murray of the State
militia, at Hutchinson, and together they
will restore order if possible. A private
message received this evening from Head
Center, fifty miles east of Hugoton, SAYS
the Woodsdale people have sent for 100
Winchester rifles and wagon-load of am
munltlon. They have sentinels stationed
for several miles around Woodsdale, who
are instructed to fire upon any Hugoton
man who may attempt to pass them.
CHEAT EAClTEAENT AT WOODSDALE.
ST. LOUIS, July 29th,-Mayor Price, of
Woodsdaie Kas., in his statement to Gov
ernor Martin with reference to the Stevens
county war, stated that when the news OF
the killing of Sheriff Cross and several of
his posse reached Woodsdale it created wild
excitement A meeting was held, and
everybody was in favor OF arming and pro-
ceeding to Hugoton and killing as many
as possible, then burning the town in re-
taliatiOn, but wiser counsel prevailed.
While the meeting was in session Mrs.
Cross received telegram from a Hugo
ton lawyer telling her where the body OF
her husband could be found.

Brown Valley Irrigation district

EDS. RECORD UNION: Last THURSDAY,
July Goth, a large and enthusiastic water
meeting was held at the fiourishing town
of Brown Valley to discuss the possibility
of forming an irrigation district, which, as
is always the case, met with some opposi-
ton and causing great deal of disorder.
The principal topic of the meeting was 10
decide which route would be taken. as
there were two to select from. The only
way to end the difficulty was to ballot.
There were twenty-four ballots cast, of
which twenty-three were for the lower
route, and the people of the lower route
were highly elated. Work will be COM
menced at once on the ditch, which will
be rapidly pushed to completion.
This enterprise will be known as the
Browns Valley Irrigation District. A pc
tition is now in circulation, which will be
placed before the Board of Supervisors of
Yuba county, to call an election. Should
the scheme meet with no more opposition,
it will make Yuba county the banner
county of the State. FRANK GoRMAE.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY,
Five Deaths in One Family and More
Threatened,


PIrTsBURG, July 29th.-The city has EN-.
ployed two nurses and is prepared to rem
der every aid to an extraordinarily afflicted
family-that of Mr.. Plant, quarryman OF
Newcastle, Pa. The family consisted OF
eleven persons-the parents and nine chill
dren, who had up TO recently been living
comfortably and were free from any seri-
GUS trouble.
The Oldest daughter was stricken by
diphtheria about two weeks ago, and in
four days after four more of the children
were reported its victims, while each day
added another to the list. Each night the
unfortunate man returned from his toll
only 10 witness the departure Of another
life he had watched from birth
At last Mrs Plant became weak ard ex-
hausted. Three children were lying upon
one bed, one Of whom had died. The
poor mother had not sufficient strength to
remove her dead offspring and continued
to use what little power she had left TO
keep the Others alive until her husband ar
rived.
Thus far five children of this family
have died, while the remaining four and
the mother are still suffering.
To add 10 the general misfortune the
father last night made an error which
gives promise of being the cause Of his
wife's death. Nature was crying loudly for
needed rest and Mrs. Plant being some
what convalescent, the almost exhausted
man dozed off, and partially awakening
about the time to give his wife her medi-
cine, he mistook bottle of iodine for the
mixture and gave her two teaspoonfuls OF
that drug. The dose threw her into con-
vulsions, from which she has since been
suffering, with her death momentarily ex.

An EXP ianation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted ?
If you will remember, few years ago the
word malaria" was comparatively un-
known; to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language; vet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times past.
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
malaria are intended to cover what our
grandiathers called biliousness, and al are
caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the liver, which. in per
forming its functions, finding it cannot
dispose Of the bile through the ordinary
channel, is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles, ma
larin, bilious fever, ETC.. You who are suf-
iering csn well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. It's
cures are marvellous.

Measures that win Occupy Congress this
Week


WASHINGTON, July 29th-The sundry
civil bill will probably occupy the attention
OF the Senate tomorrow. II is Senator
Fryes purpose TO ask that the fisheries
treaty be taken up for continuous debate
until disposed Of. After the sundry civil
bill is passed, the bill for The admission OF
Washington Territory and the bill to en-
courage the holding of national industrial
exposition Of the arts, mechanics and pro-
dacts Of the colored race will be brought
forward for early consideration.
II is now thought to be doubtful whether
the tariff bill will make its appearance in
the Senate this week
The general deficiency appropriation is
likely to occupy the attention of the Ho use
for several days this week. After the bill
providing for the payment of the French
spoilation claims is disposed OF, Sayers will
endeavor to secure consideration for the
fortitications appropriation bill. As the
Senate amendments to the army appropria-
ton bill cover nearly the same ground, it is
expected that the Committee on Military
Affairs will antagonize the Notifications
bill and try to have their bill first acted
upon, with 8 view TO throwing it into
conference and ultimately adopting the
Senate plan of defense
1t would appear that whatever time re-
mains after the disposition of the deficiency
Dill will be consumed in the discussion OF
the subject of fortiications.

ter, Miss Lucy, and sailed on the Bothnia,

Republican Senators Progressing Finely
With Their Tariff Bill.

Republican Senators Progressing Finely
With Their Tariff Bill.
ECopg7i0t 1885, 6y1 The California Associated Press
WASHINGTON. July 29th.-rhe Senate
Tariff Committee is working with all dill
gence on the Republican tariff bill, but,
notwithstanding the fact that no effort is
being spared TO complete the measure, it is
believed that the bill will not be reported
until Saturday of this week.
Senator Hiscock, speaking about the pro-
gress the committee were making, said to-
night: " We had hoped to get the bill into
the Senate by this time, but have met with
80 many unforeseen obstacles that it was
simply impossible. Although the work
has been very slow, it has been altogether
quite satisfactory. AS we have progressed
1t has become more and more evident that
The Republicans can unite on a bill. An
other thing which has delayed us was
the strict adherence to our determination
to grant hearings TO all that applied
We severely criticised the methods of the
Democratic members of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House in running
things on stsr-chamber basis. Since the
decision of the Republican caucus at Sen.
ator Evarts' house, the other night, those
Republicans opposed TO the introduction of
bill have come to realize what utter folly
II would have been for US to have gone
away without some action. The result
would have been that the President would
have called an extra session for the pur-
pose of forcing Congress to do something
to get rid of the increasing surplus. This
would simply have placed US in the posi-
ton of obstrncting needed legislation. 1t
was clever trap into which we came very
near falling. Then, again, had we gone
away without taking decided stand on
the tariff issue it would have given the
Democrats chance to hedge on the ques-
ton of free trade in localities where it
would have been OF service. But, by the
time they have had a chance to vote on
this bill of ours, don't believe they will
be in position TO do any lodging. If Mr.
Randall can be of any service to them
after that am very much mistaken"

Two Boys Conduct Bold Horse steal
ing business in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 29th.-The police have
succeeded in capturing 16-year- old robber
whose achievements in the horse-stealipg
line are unparalleled in this part of the
country. His name he gives as Edward
Brown, and he claims to have come from
Kendall county, Tex, about the 9th of
June. He soon formed the acquaintance
OF Charles Crane, aged 49, and also hailing
from Texas. Brown proposed that they go
into the horse-stealing business. A barn
was rented on the west side of the CITY,
Nightly forages were begun, and were sue
cessful. In less time than twenty-iour
hours after they had started they had stolen
five horses and sold three of them for lib
eral prices. The boldness of their deeds
were remarkable. Their stable became
full of valuable horses, and citiz-
ems began to frequent the stable for
the purpose of buying stock. The
business prospe-ed exceedingly. All the
time complaints were coming to the police
thick ana fast, but they could not find the
thieves. July 18th, however, was & fatal
day for the advenrurers. They stole a
horse and buggy from North Side citizen
and drove to blacksmith shop near by to
have slight repairs made. While waiting
one of them stole the blacksmiths watch.
and was soon accused of the theft BoJh
drew revolvers and compelled The black
smith to apologize.
As soon &c the boys had left, Smith
complained at the police station, giving q
good description OF the bandits. 4 detec-
tive was detailed on the case. He was
about to give up the search in the early
part Of last week, when suddenly he saw
the boys driving on the Washington
boulevard. He secured q horse and FOL
lowed them to their barn, and shadowed
the place for three or four days. Crane
became suspicious of the espionage and
fled, but Brown was arrested. On his per
son was found $400 in coin. Twenty five
horses and eighteen stolen vehicles have
already been turned up, and more are COM
ing in every day. The horses are uniformly
fine, and the vehicles range from a dog
cart to four-in- hand.

British Gold Said to be Cutting a Figure

New York, July 29th.-The Nail and En-

" A gentleman recently from England de-
clared that Englishmen are interested in
American politics and are anxious that
Cleveland should be reelected He heard

The Irish Leader Advised to Sue the
"Times' for Libel.
LONDON, July 29th-The Liberals and
Parneliites held consultation in the House
of Commons on Friday evening concern
ing the charges and counter charges made
By the Times aud Parnell. Many of those
present expressed their opinion that the
bringing of an action for libel by Parnell
against the Times would be preferable to
his investigation by the commission as
authorized by the present shape of the bill
for that purpose, and.declared that an &C
ton in law would be the simplest way to
solve the difficulty.
John Morley. upon whose advice Par
nell implicitly relies, urged the Irish leader
to oast his lot upon the outcome of q suit,
unless the Government shall limit the
scope of the commissions inquiry to spec
iic charges, and instructs the investigating
body to make the alleged Parnell letters
the primary issue. All agree that Parnell
would be better off before jury than he
would before the commission authorized
by the bill as it now stands.

SAVED AT LAST.
Final Rescue of the Man Who Was Ter
Days in n Well

JoHNsTowN (Neb.) July 29th.-John An
derson was rescued from the well yester-
day in which he was imprisoned ten days
by the caving of the earth. For some davs
past food had been sent 10 him, which en-
abied him to keep alive. The scene when
he was brought to the surface was quite
affecting. He undertook to express his
thanks 10 his rescuers, but he broke down
with emotion. Anderson was conveyed to
his home, where he will probably be con-
fined for several days before he fully re-
covers from the effects of his terrible expe-
rience.

a LONG SESSION.
Likelihood that Congress VIII Not Ad
journ Within Six Weeks.

Copyright. 1885, By DE California associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 20th.-Senator ALI.
son said tonight that he expected the tariff
bill to be in the Senate by tomorrow week
to be under debate until the end of the
month, and that Congress will adjourn
about the middle of September. This
would make this the longest session OF
Congress ever held in time of peace. The
joint conferees OF the two houses would re.
qulre two weeks between the 1st and 18th
OF September TO find out that they could
not agree.
From that remark it is easy to see that
there is to be no halfway business about
the present bill. and the hope of the Demo-
Gratis that it would be such bill that they
could accept is idle. Mr.. Breckenridge OF
the House said the other day that rather
than get nothing done the Democrats
might possibly accept,a bill emanating from
the Senate, having but a scant Republican
majority OF two.
