Idaho, and which, az one time. blanched
the chesks OF the women aud children Of
the isolated settlements even of Eastern

was Chief Joseph, the ruler over the REM

numerous Nez peree lHdian trftga. that Is
now hanished to the secsusion OF the noun
tains of the Moses reservation. Some four
teen or fifteen years ago Chief Joseph with
band OF his followers swooped down upon
the sparsely settled country in Northern
Idaho, and blood and smoking ruins
marked their pathway. The knife and
torch played sad havoc. aud the
woman or child when captured. Many
were horrided by sight OF the handiwork
Of these butchers. and even now speak
with a shudder OF the Neg Perccs' outbreak.
Then the Indians led the soldiers merry
dance all over the country, until at last
cornered and brought 10 terms. The tribe
was sent TO the Indian territory. but death
from natural causes thinned their ranks SO
rapidly that the government ordered them
70 be sent back to their native mountains.
The small remainder of the tribe passed
through Spokane Falls some FIVE or six
yesrs ago. on their way 20 the northern
reservation. and as their depredatlons were
then stu fresh In the memory Of old timers
they attracted great deal Of attention.

A Card.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-I have heard,
and with deep regret, that a report IS current
to the effect that Prof. Blanton of the E.. A.
Seminary has been confined to his bed by a
contaa iouS fever. Having learned incident
ally that he was sick | at once avaiIed myself
of the privilege to visit him. I sat by his
bedside for a considerable time and cOnversed
freely with him, and left with the conviction
t.; at ne was suffering from an attack Of
malariaI feve- contracted by exposure to the
sun, and doubtlesslV superinduced bv over
work and undue mental anxiety. Prof.
BlantOn Is Il gentleman OF that high and rare
type OF true Christian character that would
have constrained and impeled him to be the
first TO warn parents and guardians Of dam
symptom Of a contagious disease In his house
hold. Knowing that there Is not the slightest
symptom of a contagious or infectious disease
at The seminary, and knowing further that
Prot. BlantOn Is Il courteous, cultivated
and faithful instructor, deeply interested In
the spiritual and moral as well ~ the mental
and physical welfare Of bis pupils. / most
gladly commend him AMI his school to a!
who have daughters to be educated. feeling
well assured that he will relax no effort for
the good of those committed to bis care.
This card is entirely graluilious and prOmp.

Of all Christians, do unto others as YOU
would under like circumstances have them
do unto you. j. w. kEEBLE.

to inure to the benefit of both sides of the

the produce of the farmers In the bottoms and
they need the goods of our merchants. We
hope to see q large traffic between them and
have no doubt we will.
Beside this, trains will be run on the bob
tail'' to connect with all trains on the main
line of both the Santa Fe and Wabash rail-
roads, thus virtually giving us W. more rail-
roads at a cost of less than S25, 900. BUSES
will be run over the bridge to connect with
these trains and hereafter no more trouble
will be experienced in getting to these roads
than there is now to the Missouri Pac ;tic
depot. The Santa Fe will Immediately open
an office here, as will the Wells. Fargo ex-

forced to have a down town office. of which
our citizens have been deprived for several

Delinquent Taxes.


LEXINGTON, Mo, Aug. 10, 1889.
EDITOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. inform
the public that all delinquent taxes must be
paid as follows: For the year 1887 and all
years back of it the taxes must be paid at
once as suit will be instituted thereon without
further notice as soon Is the papers can be
made out. The new limitation law goes into
effect July, 1890, and las all taxes of 1897 and
back years have been consolidated IN one
book as the law directs, this compels me to
commence suit TO prevent the statutes from
running. The delinquent taxes for 1888 must
be paid before the first of January, 1890, or
suit will be Instituted Immediately thereafter
rs the law requires 1 hope all those inter-
