Had Their Eye Teeth Cut.

Elijah Allen, a Nebraska farmer
writing to the Western Rural, says
Farmers have been ground down with
trusts and monopolies until they are
not going to stand it much longer They
are organizing in every corner of the
county. The man who gets to the Leg
islaEure or to Congress from Nebraska
next fall will have to look after
the farmers rights a little or we
will buy rope at trust prices to hang
him with. We can not and will
not stand the present prices of grain.
We have got to have a change. What
can the merchant and tradesman do
without the farmer to raise what they
eat 1t is no wonder that there are so
many leaving their farms and trying
some other occupation to try and keep
soul and body together. Look at our
county records and see how many have
their farms clear of incumbrance. And
how are they going to get them clear
raising corn at twenty cents? The
men don't care to see the
farmers get out of debt. They would
rather foreclose the mortgages and get
every thing in their own hands and
then compel the farmer to work for
them at such prices as they see fit to
pay them. If some of those greedy ras-
Gals don't get dose pretty soon that
will make them hump and gather like
a burnt boot am mistaken. The farm
ers have had their eye-teeth cut and
5he wool is getting loose on their eyes.

STATUS OF SILVER.
WILL THE HOUSE PASS THE SEN
ATE BILL?
That 1t Will-The Matter Likely to Be
Settled in Conference.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Opinions as to
the probable action of the house on the
senate silver bill differ very widely.
There is belief on the part of some that
before any action is taken a caucus will
be held to decide upon the course to be
pursued. There is a sentiment, even
among the friends of the bill as it passed
the senate, that it will get into confer
ence, and that out of that conference will
be evolved a bill providing for the pur
chase of four and half million ounces
OF silver monthly, the certificates issued
in payment thereof to be legal tender,
and redeemable in bullion. Such a
measure, it is generally believed, would
receive the presidents approval. The
free coinage advocates express the opin-
ion that the house will pass the senate
bill.
What the Senate Bill Provides.
The silver bill as passed by the senate
today stands substantially as follows:
Section l provides that from and after
the date of the passage of the act the
unit of value in the United States shall
be the dollar; this may be coined of
41I1a grains of standard silver, or 25 $40
grains of standard gold said coins shall
be equally legal tender for debts, public
or private. Any owner of silver or gold
bullion may deposit it any mint of the
United States to be formed into standard
dollars or bars for his benefit, without
charge, but it shall be lawful to refuse
any deposit of less value than 500, or
any bullion so base as to be unsuitable
for the operations of the mint.
Section 2 provides that section of
the act of February IS, 1878, is made ap-
plicable to the coinage provided by this
act.
Section provides that the certificates
provided for and all gold and silver cer-
titicates already issued shall be of de-
nominations not less than one nor more
than one hundred dollars, and be re-
deemable in coin of the standard value.
The provision in the act of February 2S,
1878, requiring the secretary of the
treasury to purchase, at the market
price, not less than two nor more than
four million dollars worth of silver bull
lion per month, is repealed.
Section sets forth that the certifi-
Gates provided for in the act, and all
gold and silver certificates already issued
shall be receivable for all taxes and dues
to the United States of every descrip-
ton, and shall be legal tender for the
payment of all debts, public and private.
Section 5 provides that the owners of
bullion deposited for coinage, shall have
the opportunity to receive coin or its
equivalent in the certificates provided
IN the act, and such bullion shall be
subsequently coined.
Section 6 provides for covering into
the treasury the funds held for the re-
demption of the national bank circula-
ton.

Heiress-A British Blood Alliance.

LONDON, June 17.-Mary Anderson
was married this morning to Antonio
Navarro in the Roman Catholic chapel
OF st. Mary's, in Hampstead. The we'd
ding was strictly private.
Miss Anderson was driven from the
house of her stepfather, DR.. Griffin, to
the church in a close carriage. Cur
tains were drawn so that no glimpse
could be caught of the bride as she left
the carriage to enter the sanctuary. The
ceremony was performed in as quiet and
simple manner as possible. There
was no choir, the only accompanying
music being that of the organ. Only
the immediate friends of the bride and
groom were present.
rated with profusion of ferns, palms
and white flowers. On the altar twelve
candles were burning.
At II O'Clock the bridegroom, accom-
panied by his brother Alphonso, reached
st. Mary's in cab. Both were in
mourning garb in respect to the memory
of their uncle, who died three weeks ago.
A few moments later the carriage drove
up the chapel, in which were Miss An
derson, her sister and stepbrother. This
was followed by carriage containing
Miss Anderson's own brother Joseph and
wife, the daughter of Lawrence Barrett.
A third carriage contained Miss Ander-
sons mother and stepfather, DIR. and
Mrs. Griffin. Behind this was Miss
Anderson's carriage, with her stepsister,
Blanche Griffin, who acted as BRIDES
maid.
Miss AndersOn's gown was of white
satin, heavily brocaded. She carried a
bouquet of white roses, ilacs, stepanotis
and ferns. Above the bridal veil was
tiny wreath of orange blossoms. Miss
Griffin was also dressed in white.
The ceremony was performed by
Canon Purcell. DR.. Griffin gave the
bride away. After the marriage the
party drove to DR., Griffin's, where
breakfast was served. The pair started
in the afternoon for Venice, where they
will spend their honeymoon.

Associated Press Dispatches |


LONDON, June 17.-Lord Salisbury, in
a dispatch to the British ambassador at
Berlin, concerning the agreement with
Germany, declines to allow Germany's
claim that where one power occupies the
coast another may not, without consent,
occupy unclaimed regions in the rear.
He says this cannot be allowed in cases
where the country is already occupied
by Englishmen, but where there are no
English settlements, England has no
title to advance against German claims.
The agreement, in substance, is as fol-
lows England retains the Stew
enson road, which will be the
boundary between the English and
German spheres. A line is stretched
from the mouth of the Bokurn, on the
west shore of Lake Nyassa, to the mouth
of the Kilambo, on the south shore of
Lake Tanganyika. Northward of this
Germany retains the region as far as the
Congo state, and along the first degree
of south latitude; the boundary beyond
diverging around the western shore of
Lake Nyanza to include the noun
tain Mfumbiro, in the British sphere,
in order to make the frontier coincide
as nearly as possible with the region
covered by Stanley's treaties. In all
East African territories equal rights of
settling or trading shall be conferred
by the two powers, respectively,
on their subjects. The details
of the frontier between Ngamiliana and
Damoraland remain to be settled, but it
is agreed that in the latitudes Of Lake
Ngami, up as far as the eighteenth de-
gree of south latitude, the German
frontier shall coincide with the twenty
first degree of east longitude. In Togo
land the frontier is rectifed, securing
the mouths of the Volta to England, aud
giving Germany access to the Volta
river at higher point OF it's
course. Germany cedes the is
lands OF Manda and Patta and
Somali, comprising the coast line of
over 200 miles, to England; so that, ex-
cept the Congo state, there will be no
competitor with British influence be-
tween the first degree south latitude and
the borders of Egypt along the whole
country lying south and west of the
Italian protectorate. Any concessions
England shall assume exclusive of the
protectorate in the sultinate of Zanzi-
bar, including the islands OF Zanzibar
and Pemba, England will assist Ger
many to obtain session of the German
coast line hitherto rented from the sultan.
England, considering Hellgoland use
less since she lost Hanover, will cede it
to Germany, subject to the consent of
parliament. The present customs tariff
will be continued twenty years. Other
colonial disputes in Africa are reserved
for friendly settlement, and the status
quo will be preserved pending the ratif-
cation of the present agreement.

ATTACKED BY INDIANS,
"A Party of Cowboys Fired Upon by a
Band of Redskins.


Ell PAso, Texas, June ia freight
crew which arrived here this morning
over the Southern Pacific road reports
that when they arrived at Separ sta
ton, just this side of Lordsburg, New
Mexico, at 2:30 this morning, they
found the town in the widest excite
ment over the arrival of cowboy
who had just reached there bare
footed, his feet covered with cuts and
blisters from having run ten miles from
a ranch, north of Separ, where he and
ten other men were camped. He stated
that at 10 O'Clock last night body of
Indians surprised them and shot them
down as the men jumped out of their
blankets to escape. He thought there
were about thirty Indians in the
band. The cowboys had been in
bed but a short time when
the attack was made. Some of them
were armed, but did not have their guns
handy, not expecting to find Indians ON
the warpath in that section. He saw
three men drop, and thinks that the rest
shared the same fate. A posse was or
ganized at Lordsburg and one at Dem
ing this morning, to go hunting for the
Indians. Separ is 130 miles west of this
place
