Monday-Young Nan Seriously Injured.
Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 14.-The
criminal docket in the district court S
being cleared up fast and will probably
be finished next week. About four cases
are still on the docket, the most impor-
tant of which is the State VS.. Frank Gar
ner and Charlie Ball, charged with the
killing of Joe Means, which is set for
next Monday. To-day the case against
James Hawton charged with assault to
murder was given to the jury, but it
seems probable they will fail to agree.
Marshal T. B. Needles of Muskogee
passed through the city to-day en- route
home from Ardmore. He states that
Ardmore has bright future before her
on account of the coal mines near there.
The company has already placed 500, =
900 worth of machinery at the mines and
in a short time it is proposed to employ
one thousand additional hands.
A young man named Elithorpe was
thrown from a horse yesterday on his
fathers farm four miles northeast of
here and received probably fatal inju-
ries. DR.. Eagan was called TO attend
him and reports that his skull is frac-
tured aud his condition as very critical.
Police circles have been unusually
quiFt for several days, and about the
ally work the officers have had to do to
SIMPLIFY their time is the killing of I'M
muzzled dogs. A large number have
been slain and the city is threatened
with numerous suits.
News has reached here of the death of
Rev. Mr.. Hyde, former citizen and
once pastor of the Cumberland church
here. HIS death occurred at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, on the 18th inst.
Capt. Matthews of Muskogee, L. T.,
has been appointed United States COM
missioner at Ardmore for the Muskogee
court. He will begin his Official duties
next week.
Arrangements are about completed for
a Cooke county fair to be held here next
fall. Cooke has some of the finest stock
in the state, besides many other attrac-
tive features for exhibits in a far, and
there is no doubt it can be made one of
the most interesting county fairs in the
state.

Tried to Chloroform the Girl.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
CENTER, TEX, June 14.-It is now
learned that the fellow who attempted
to assault the young lady at the residence
of Hon. F. L. JOHNSON last Saturday
night, an account of which has been
published in THE GAZETTE, used chloro-
form, the fumes of which awoke the
sleeping girl in time to save her. No
credence is given his story and it is well
for him and the good name of the law
that he escaped when he did. Nothing
has been heard OF him since he made his
successful break for liberty as related
in previous letter. ss

Has He not done everything to make you

you, importuned yon all your life long.

The surrender of Big Foot and his

at daybreak, and at 1890 was seen
dashing over the ridge for camp waving
his hat In few minutes he was at
Maj. Whiteside's quarters with the
good news that Big Foot was only eight
miles away
Boots and saddles were sounded, and
If ever lot of men got out of camp in q
hurry it was the veterans of the Sew

hurrying over the ridge eastward to-
ward Porcupine Butte. Passing that
they turned north and east, descending
the slope to the Porcupine valley, where
they soon found Big Foot's band drawn
up in line like soldiers, and apparently
ready for battle.
There were over 150 war-like bucks,
heavily armed, facing the cavalry that
they met last in 1876 ON the Little Big
Horn. One shot from any course and a
tragedy would go ovel the wires, but
Big Foot advanced from his side and
Maj. Whiteside from the boys in blue.
Big Foot started in for long talk ON

What Amount OF Paper Money
Has Uncle Sams
A Difficult Question for Anyone
to Answer.

No Intelligent idea of the Volume Of
Paper Currency Now In the Uniscd
states--Even the Report of the Treas-
urer Is Defective and UnreIiable--aE Mere
Guess-work.
NEW York, Dec. 30. A Washington
special to The Daily News says that no
one can form an intelligent idea of the
volume of paper currency now in circu-
lation. The treasurer purports to give
each year an exact and detailed state
ment of the condition of the finances,
but the treasurer has no exact data
upon which to base his report, aud con-
sequently it is defective and unreliable.
There is not to be found in any
bureau of the treasury department any
record of the notes or certificates for
which the government is responsible,
and the treasurer's report is, conse-
quently, nothing more than guess-work
as to the volume of paper money afloat.
He cannot say Of his own knowledge
how many notes or silver certificates of
the several denominations authorized
by them are outstanding.
n may be assumed that there are no
duplicate notes afioat, but assumption
connot be accepted as reliable basis
for fanlling operations. The only way
the government has of knowing that
there Is Io duplication of notes, is by
obtaining from the contractors who
furnish the paper a sworn statement of
the number of sheets supplied the
bureau of engraving and printing, and
then deducting the number destroyed
IN the press room, and adding to this
number the number of sheets Of printed
notes received at the treasury depart
ment These must balance with the
total number of sheets furnished by the
contractors.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-The cableqram in

tion in the Soudan is simply an under

paign as carried out by the English
troops in their occupation of Egyp.. 1t
is not so much the result Of drouth and

the poor Fellahs of Egypt and Nubia,
as it is of the wanton and morally Grim

soldiery.
England Responsible.
There have been drouth, and locusts,
and crop failures heretofore in Egypt,
but never the widespread suffering
existing at present under the domina-
tion of a government whose people
boast the highest civilization of any
nation on the face of the globe. it is
only another chapter in the history of
the later conquests by England. Three
years ago the English troops in southern
Egypt ana Soudan, at the instance of
Gen. Grenfell, backed, as was under
stood, by the home government. in
augurated the policy of destroying the
crops of all persons supposed to be in
sympathy with the dervishes. whether
within or without the military lines.
The soldiers construed these orders so
literally that even in the year of plenty,
1888, there was great suffering among
the poverty stricken fellaheen Of Nubia.
Miles of the narrow strips of cultivable
land lying on either side of the Nile
were laid waste, the growing crops
utterly destroyed and the meager stores
of grain burned
In numerous instances the date-palm
trees, which furnish subsistence to so
many of these wretched people, were
felled. A native, complaining to a su-
perior officer of the destruction by the
soldiers of his palm grove, his sole means
of support, received the brutal reply:
"Well, it will save you paying your
taxes, for the government levies a tax
upon each growing palm tree in the
land The present famine is merely an
echo of the destructive acts of the En-
glish troops prosecuted in the Soudan
for the past thirty months. The fella-
heen of Egypt and Nubia, are peacea-

IgnatIus Donnelly Hopes TO Find II in the
Farmers Alliance.
ST. PAUL, Dec. so. Delegates to the
state Farmers Alliance convention,
which is to convene here, are coming in
on every train. Nearly 500 of the 900
delegates are stopping at various st.
Paul hotels. For the last six weeks a
tremendous fight has been going on
throughout the state for and against
lgnatius Donnelly for president. The
opposition threw its strength to any
body to beat Donnelly, and the result lis
that Donnelly's strength comes to ST.
Paul united and aggressive and the
opposition is favoring half dozen cam
didates. none of them with any CON
siderable following.
Mr.. Donnelly himself claims to have
enough delegates to elect him, and the
outlook is that he will get vote of
nearly 800 out of 1, 900. Up to the pres
ent the Minnesota Alliance has been an
independent body, but intervi 3ws with
delegates indicate that it will join the
National Alliance by a prac tically unan-
imous vote.

the Minnesota Alliance it is believed
that he will be a candidate for the AL
