MACON, Ca, December 21.-Some IN
known persons nailed large United States
flag to a telephone pole in this city, on one
of the principal streets where it could be
seen by a large portion Of the population.
Tie attention of officers of the United
States court, now in session here, was called
to the matter, and United States Marshal
Hon. Locus N. Lamar after consultation
with Judge Emery Speer, sent out his depu-
ties who removed the flag and ran It up over
the United States building on q flag pole,
furnished by the jury in attendance upon
the court. Judge Speer, IN thanking the
Jury for their action, strongly rsproyed the
conduct Of the persons who had placed this
indignity upon the national ensign, and
said such occurrences gave a character to
the southern people which they did not de-
serve and alluded in fOroibis terms to the
blessings and advantages the people enjoy
under the Tag. The incident created quite
a sensation. All the officers OF the court,
including the judge and marshal, axe ex-
COnfedsrates.

Ingalls, Union: John Tnsley, Of
Foote township, and number OF other
experienced wheat raisers say that this
has been the best fail for all kinds Of
small grain that they ever knew OF, in
the state, and feel sure Of harvesting
abundant crops next year. It never
looked more promising here, at this time
Of year, and seems to be the case
throughout the state.
Wellington Standard: In riding
through Sumner county in any direction
one cannot help being struck fOrcibly
with the idea that our farmers are bank
ing high on wheat again, for everywhere
ynu ride you see immense stretches OF
as fine looking wheat as ever grew. Al
most everywhere the plants cover the
ground entirely, and the fields present
an unbroken and lovely green appear
ance. A few more crops like that Of
this year will land all the farmers high
and dry out Of debt.

Of the deep-water army that is expected to
concentrate here before the session is much
further advanced. It was expected that
Colonel Walter Gresham Of Galveston,
would be here, but he became suddenly sick
and Colonel benson was substituted as
Galveston's representative. Within few
weeks representatives of several Texas ports
and of the states Of Colorado, Kansas, Ar
kansas, Missouri and the territories Of Utah,
New Mexico and Arizona will also arrive.
Their mission will be to explain to congress
the necessity for a first-cla5s hRrbcr on the
coast of Texas. The rivalry between Caves
ton and Arkansas Pass and other ports in
Texas has been pretty acute Of late, and In
order to alley it, 1t Is proposed to have a
competent commission of engineers appoints
ed By the government to locate the most
available point for e drst-clGss harbor.
The advocates of Arkansas Pass claim that
for an expenditure of 100000 they can

of that harbor. The Galveston men admit
that it will require 100000 or PERHAPS
more to establish hrst-class harbOr at Ca

Territory Convention .

BAXTER SPRINGS, KAN, December 90
The Indian territory convention here was
we'll attended and most harmonious and
successful. Good delegations were present
from Kansas City, SedRlia, Fort Scott and
many other cities of Missouri, Arkansas and
Kansas. There we're also large number of
prominent Indians present, representing
several tribes, who universally expressed
themselves as strongly in favor of the aIlot-
ment of lands in severalty, and the exten-
sion or the laws of the United States over
their people. Ex-Governor T. T. CritEen-
den Of Missouri. was made permanent chair
man and c. W. Daniels Of this city, seore-
tary. A memorial to congress, and resoIu-
lions strongly advocating and urging the
immediate breaking up Of tribal relations
among the Indians, and the aIlOtments of
lands IN the seVeralty, were unanimously
adopted.
The sentiment Of the convention was
strongly III favor of giving the Indians near
ly all, or quite all Of their lands if necessary
but TO divide them in severalty; make them
citizens Of the United States and to convert
the Indian territory into one of the prosper
Gus states Of the Union. Eloquent speeches
were made by Ex-Governor Crittsnden Of
Missouri; Judge j. s. Emery, of Lawrence:
Hon. L. L. Bridges Of Sedalia; { oIoneI B.

and ". g. Labadier Of the Peorlas, advo-
eating the objects Of the convention as ex-
pressed in the call
It is generally conceded that this conven-
ton brought out more influential men and
more brains than any similar meeting that
has been held. 1t was no meeting Of boom
ers or Oklahoma advocates. but a grand con
centratiOn Of sentiment; Of making an i'm
mediate and radical change IN the present
policy of the government with regard to the
territory, wiping out eli tribal relations;
making citizens Of the Indians after their
lands have been allotted to them AID secured
to them for a reasonable length Of time, and
opening no to white settlers whatever sur
plus lands there may be, thus breaking the
great barrier which the territory now is to

An ORensIve Parri.nn

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 20
The appointment of Leon o. Bailey to be
United States attorney for the district OF
Indiana sent to the senate is regarded as
one Of the most important political appoint
ments made by this administration. It
created a sensation among the Indiana
people at the capital. Bailey is the man
who, during the recent campaign, collected
the afidRvits Of Gould and others affirming
the charges that Harrison said 81 day was
enough pay for a WOrkingman, and that
Harrison had ordered strikers shot down.
These charges were incorporated in a spesch
made by Bailey and thousands Of copies
were circulated as a campaign document.
Bailey has been the assistant district attor-
uey for Indiana. It is certain that every
effort will be made to prevent his COnfrma-
ton IN his new position, and the chances
are Ia favor Of the rsjectiOn OF the nOmina-
ton, or at least its suspension until the
time Of adjournment.

A Fireman,s Rrare Deed.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, December 21.-An
attempt to wreck the Texas express train on
the St. Louis d San Francisco railroad was
made at Lyman station, four miles east of
this city. The switch bolts were moved and
the rails spread to throw She train over an
embankmeDt, but the switch target was left
in proper position. fortunately for the 200
souls on the train, wild engine was run
ming ahead and this plunged through the
switch at a fOrty-mile speed. The engine
was demolished and the rails torn up for a
quarter Of a mile. The fireman, with
broken ankle, dragged himself back for
more than a mile and tagged the traiu,
saving 1t from destruction. There is no
clue to the perpetrators OF the diaboEcal
deed, but they are evidently the same who
attempted to wreck the st. Louis mail train
q few days ago.

Ata Turkey Shoot.

WATHENA, KAN, December 21.-At a
shooting match for turkeys here a shotgun
in the hands of Frank Groh was discharged
prematurely in the midst Of the crowd
Amiel Weigand, aged about 16 years, re-
ceived most of the charge in one side OF his
neck, causing a fearful wound, which will
probably prove fatal. Several shot hit Peter
DETER in the face and one in the outside
corner of one of his eyes, and it was thought
he would lose the sight of the injured mem-
Der, but 1t may not prove so bad. Charles
Reddy received some fifteen or twenty shot
about the neck and face, and while his in
juries are severe, they are not thought to be
dangerous.
