Mr.. White, am going to put this

Judge Brewer. Of the United
States circuit court at chambers, has
decided the contro versy between the
Missouri, Kansas 4 Texas railway and
the McAlester Coal company. The
Ohoctaw coal and railway company
wanted to cross the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas tracks at place where there
is steep grade on either side, and the
receivers Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas objected to the crossing, for the
reason that trains must come to a dead
stop at crossing in the Indian Terri
tory, and IL would necessitate the plac-
ing Of an engine there 10 pull trains
up the grades. The judge, in settling
the question, ordered that the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas should raise
the grade of their road six feet, for a
distance OF Il. 600 yards, and that the
cost Of this work should be paid by
the Choctaw Coal and railway compa-
ny; they then to be allowed to cross at
the place desired.
w. ]. Janney,- passenger agent OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
with headquarters at-Topeka, an old
acquaintance of the writsr, was in
town last Tuesday. HIS company is
endeavoring to turn the tide OF winter
tourists towards the City Of Mexico
aud have established a rate of about
SIS for the round trip from Kansas
City, tickets good for six months.
When once the beauties of that cli-
mate and the many strange sights, to
Americans,ar understood, Mexico will
draw heavily upon California as the
mecca Of tourists. The anticipated dis
advantage Of being unacquainted with
the language, is really of no conse-
quence whatever. In couple Of days,
with the use Of the "Phrase Book"
which costs so cents, the American
is able to ask for most anything he de-
sires and in a week can talk very fair
pigeon Spanish. Another great thing
in the eyes Of the average American is
the fact that when he is charged a
! dollar for any article he has the salts
faction of knowing he is only paying
sixty-six cents, our currency being at
premium to that extent.

four page folder giving pai ticulars OF
the orr hanage and the work in this
country,in which is related the follow
ing incident which Wa believe has not
heretofore been Published; "At Kinni-
son band OF white men concocted q
plan 70 abduct Mrs. Lamb and kill her
husband, but God overruled and
thwarted the DEVILS designs. One
drunken despsrado stood up in the
meeting waiting for the word OF an
other drunken companion TO shoot
Mr.. Lamb; but ths Lord kept our dear
brother in perfect peace andhe simply
remarked, II II read you my Nis insur-
ance policy, and then you may shoot
at me all you wish. He read the 9th
Psalm, The miserable persecuter was
eowed down completely. This little
incident is simply given to show the
hardness Of some sections ofour terri
torial harvest-held. In almost all
these cases OF :persecution we have
found the white aud not the red man
