Beer IN the Territory Again.

Ardmore, l. T., Sept. 10-Attor-
ney Warrand, for the United States
has dismissed the prosecutions
against the beer men of Ardmore,
holding that the court had no juris-
diction, Judge Bryant refusing to
allowing prosecutions. This re-
moves the embargo on the sale of
beer with one exception-its liabili-
ty Of being destroyed by the Indian
police. The Iudian agent, alone in
his efforts to keep beer out of the
territory will not be able to accom-,
pllsh much. Beer will now be sold
by the fifteen saloons in Ardmors
and over the nation generally.

POLITICS CAUSES A RUMPUS.
The Veterans Rush From the Pavilion
When Baker Speaks.

One of the most stirring incidents
of the reunion occurred yesterday
afternoon. General B. Nj. Prentiss
gave an address on Shiloh, and Incl
dentally interpolated few sentences
scoring the alliance, remarking that
the alliance leaders were the men
who inaugurated the war of the re-
bellion. His speech was cheered to
the echo. When he had conuluded,
few alliance men who were present
asked that they be permitted to put
up man to answer Prentiss, which
the management permitted, and con-
rressman Baker of the sixth district
of Kansas, who was to speak any
how, was put forward to answer
General Prentiss.
The pavilion was jammed to suf-
location when MIR. Baker began his
speech, and for the first two minutes
lie was listened to with interest, but
lie began to talk about Kansas mort
cages after that and the veterans
began to leave. The louder and
more vindictive Mr.. Baker talked
the faster the veterans left. They
Kissed, groaned and finally made one
grand break to get out, fairly tum-
bling over each other in the rush.
Outside excited knots gathered and
talked angrily about the bad taste
of talking politics at a reunion and
a body OF old soldiers went TO the
management and demanded that
they keep the 'calamity howlers OFT
the platform or they would leave i'll
body.
When Mr.. Baker began there
were nsarl, 1000 people in the pa
yillion. When he concluded there
were probably l75 persons left and
they were mostly women. One per-
son on the platform applauded Mr..
Bakers utterances. and except that
not ripple of applause was heard.
Mr.. Baker expressed his resre; and
seemed worried over it.-kansas

The Country Editor,

good deal more consideration than |
he generally receives He renders |
service of surprising value, for
which he rarely or never gets rea-
sonable credit. There is no other man
in a community who does SO much
work for so little pay, or who is so
willing to subordinate private in
terest to public necessity or advan-
tage. He lies awake of nights to
devise means of making himself use
full to his town. His paper is
source of constant benefit to its
readers as AL advocate of everything
that is calculated to promote their
welfare and prosperity. 1t is out of
the question for him to acquire
wealth, or even put aside a moder-
ate surplus for rainy day. He is
content if he can make a living.
When he does more than that the
balance goes to the improvement of
his paper, aud so the people get the
profit after all He does not expect
just and fair return for his labor,
like men engaged in other kinds Of
business. The force Of custom and
tradition obliges him to be every
bodys servant in a certain sense,
and to seize every chance of assist
ing other people i'll their various
enterprises and ambitions. He must
study to please his patrons by max
ing himself a practical help to them.
This is the test of his ability and the
measure Of his popularity. In short,
he is the best existing illustration of
the theory of recompense that makes
virtue its own reward.
There is another side to the mat.
ter, however. The country editor is
not a prophet without honor in his
own locality. He wields a decided
influence, aud is frequently the con
trolling spirit III controversies o1

For strengthening, broadening and

Of which are given by Chicago Times
contributor. First bring the arm. with
the hand open and without bending the
elbow, around by the side of the head
and body in a circular or cart-wheel
motion. Do this as rapidly as possible,

This exercise will entirely do away
with this if practiced regularly.
Another chest exercise is done by
bringing the closed hands rapidly up to
the chest, palms out, and eXhaling at
the same time. This is also good for
the muscles of the arm. Still another:
Take stick of some kind-an old
broom handle, umbrella, any thing that
is handy-try bringing it up over the
head and down behind, keeping the

find that in order to get it over the head

little practice it can be brought

AN EASTERN MYSTERY.
Britons PerpIexed by the Swift and Won
derful Secret Mail of India.

BritOns PerpIexed by the Swift and Won
derful Secret Mail of India.
What is known as the secret mail
OF India has for more than a generation
perplexed the English mind, and is still
a profound mystery, although number
less attempts have been made to ex-
plain it. Every one who has lived long i'll
Asiatic countries is aware that the ac-
curate knowledge of important happen
ings at distance is often possessed by
the natives d considerable time before
it is obtained by the Government, and
even though special facilit eS had been
provided for the transmission of the
news. This was frequently and con-
spicuously illustrated throughout the
Sepoy rebellion. Happenings occurring
hundreds of miles away were usually
known in the bazars hours and some
times days before the news reached the
authorities. and the information OBJ
tanned was regarded as SO trustworthy
that the natives specialized upon it even
to the extent of their fortunes. Indeed,
upon one occasion the ''secret mall
beat the Government courier fully
twelve hours, although every endeavor
had been made to secure the swifteSt
dispatch.
The IIindoos themselves say, when
they consent to talk about it at all, that
they depend neither upon horses nor
men, and have no secret code of signals;
but that they do possess system OF
thought transmission, which is Us ia.
miliar to them as is the electric tele-
graph to the western world. Any one
may accept this explanation that will.
But though most people with less fond
ness for the mysterious and Il better
| knowledge of the weaknesses of the
| lIindoos for making riddles of the Sim
| plest facts will look for a more prosaia
explanation. it remains to be said that
none has been forthcoming Tho
'secret mail is an indubitable reality,
and no wcstcrner has ever succeeded i'll
solving its mystery. If news is trans
mitted by signals no one has ever seen
the signalers; nor if there is vast sys-
tenn of stages in operation, covering
hundreds and thousands of miles, has
any one ever come across any of its ma
chinery. And, indeed, it wSslld seem
that some means of communication
must be at the command of the natives
