HOTEL ENGLISH,
s.-......-..-.-.-.---.--..-..--
Has been none too complimentary, as this hotel is
beyond all doubt the best Of it's class In the West and
is atested by the many guests it takes of every
day, often compelled to turn a number away for
lack of room. The service and cuisine lack nothing
that could be improved and the gucstrooms are kept
scrupulously clean. with an elevator reaching to
every foor. The Railways neatly and softly
peted making noi.eless footballs which is greatly de-
sired by patrons for an undisturbed rest. Annunci.
ators lead to all rooms calls being promptly answered
by bell boys who attend TO all wants in courteous
and rapid manner. The American and European
plans are both in vogue at this hosiery, which, in
reference to the latter plan is often of much con-
venience to the travelling public
street-cars run to and from this hotel every few
minutes.

Particulars of Fight Between
Dalton Boys and Troops.
A NINETEEN-HOURS CONTEST.
Bob Dalton and One of the Prwates Killed.
Two of the Outlaws Wounded.
The Officers Afraid of Treachery When
the Flag of Truce Was Raised-Bsu-
dts Without Food or Water
in the Cave.



TISHoMINGO. l. I. May 24-DepUty Mar
Shal Cal Graft has Just returned from the
Sac and Fox reservations. where he. with
nine other deputies and u troop of United
States cavalry, affected the capture Of the
Dalton boys and their gang for robbing
the Santa F'e tram al Wharton two weeks
ago.
Last Thursday the trail Of the robbers
was found by the Indian scouts and
bioodhounds were put ON their track The
robbers fled TO a cave in the hills ana there
shot the dogs as they came up and when
the deputies arrived they opened fire ana
drove them back The marshal sent for
assistance and the troops arrived late
Thursday evening. and for nineteen hours
4 pitched battle ragged which resulted in
the killing OF Bob Dalton and woundiug of
James Eaton, private
As the outlaws had neither food
or water they were at last obliged
TO surrender and held out flag of
truce, but As the officers were afraid of
treachery they compelled the outlaws 10
come to the mouth of the cave with their
hands up over their heads and with neither
guns nor pistols on their persons. The four
survivors appeared at the opening in
the position designated. but the mar
shals were not satisfied with their
statement that Bob was dead and compelled
the remaining members to go back and
bring the dead body into view. This was
done and the outlaws We're bound and taken
in charge.
In the cave was found the full evidence of
their latest crime. the robbing of the train.
Money, jewelry and express wrappers We're
found lying on the floor of the place. Two
OF the outlaws received severe wounds and
the whole party was nearly exhausted from
want of food and water.

TRANS MISSISSIPPI.
The Denver Commercial Congress Notes
for Unlimited Free Coinage of Silver
and Adjourns to Meet in Omaha.

DENVER. Col. May 24-The trans Mis-
sissippi congress voted free coinage OF
American silver and then adjourned TO
meet in Omaha next October II was in
session four days Silver and irrigation to
a large extent OverShIdOwcG all matters the
congress had 10 uiSuSS. and they were many
and varied. There was opposition to the
first two on principle and on detail, and this
fact alone brought them into prominence.
On the other subjects there WAS uuauimity
that kept the surface mruffied. The scope
of the convention was highly diversified,
although several uuimportant propositions
We're sldetracked before the meeting was
organized y movement to urge the repeal
OF the tariff on Mexican lead was to have
been backed by Texas and Kansas City smelt-
ers but through diplomacy the subject was
not even referred to. The discussion would
have engendered more acrimony than
was evoked by the silver resolutions
The extreme Western delegation carried
the convention by storm, and the agricult-
ural states had but Il feeble hearing, hence
the result of the Omaha meeting remains
pro- enatical. That meeting will adopt
eSiNutiOnS TO be submitted TO the national
coIys'ess, and with the possibility of more
corflete representation from the delegates
whfwere this week i'll Cincinnati, the sill
verSesolutionS may be amended to provide
for NE coinage of American silver only.
ThaeloseneSS of the vote before adjourn
me ! demonstrates the fact that the silver
men have over-estimated their strength;
although Iowa, Louisiana, Kansas, Ne
braSka and Arkansas were not IN the con-
vention, the vote was % to - in favor of
unlimited free coinage. With the presence
of the absent delegates the result might
have been different.

The Orientel mind is disposed to min

scorned by the more liberal business
man of the West. visitor at Damas-
Gus gives the following description of a
horse trade in that city:
A long dispute took place between
the intending purchaser and the owner,
as the former attempted to beat down
the price by a few piastres. The owner,
however, seemed very sure of making a
favorable sale, even if the present Gus
toner should withdraw. So he re-
manned silent, with an occasional incon-
sequent remark, such as: cit matters
not" "Wallah, who am to argue with
thee?" s'Wallah, my horse is as dust
Take it without money"
ALI these expressions are equivalent
to cold negatives, and might naturally
have exasperated the other man, who
had been wasting oceans of rhetoric in
persuasion. Finally, he, in his turn,
exclaimed, with heart-warming show
of generosity and philanthropy:
"Wallah are we not brothers? Where
fore all this noise? Is it for money?
Allah Forbid You want one thousand
six hundred piastres? Here is the
money. Take it!'' Then he pressed
the bag into the others hand and turned
away. ''Never mind about your horse.
care not for it. Shall we part as enc
mics because of money!"
At this point the other, who now had
his money secure, ran after his customer,
fell on his neck, and, kissing him on
both cheeks, assured him that the horse
would henceforth be worthless to him;
that, since his brother wished for it, he
must take it as a present. And so the
bargain was concluded.-N. Y. Journal

COUNTERFEIT CULTURE.
Some Plain Words About Bostons Fads BY
q Writer of the Hub.


Boston culture has been so generally
ridiculed that it is a question if many
intelligent people of other cities have
not almost reached the point of entirely
discrediting it's existence. If Boston
culture is sham it certainly deserves
all the abuse that has been heaped upon
it; but as it has an existence and is real
ly a powerful factor in the intellectual
development of the Nation, it can af-
ford to smile at the fiat jokes which
many papers of other cities are so prone
to publish at its expense. Every intel
Hgent citizen of Boston knows that
there is a great deal of literary, scien-
tiic and artistic culture, of which we
have right to be proud, and that there
is also here, as everywhere, counter
felt culture which is both silly and con-
temptible.
Why should the man who reads moth
ing but the daily paper and the faces of
the cards with which he whites away
his evenings at the club lay claim to the
reverence of the outside world as be-
longing to intellectual Boston? Why
should the woman of accidental wealth,
who has hardly education enough to
write a sentence of her native tongue
correctly indulge in Browning and Ibsen
fads and fancy herself as favored of
Heaven in point of literary attainments?
1t is this false assumption of superior
ity, this hollow pretense and insuffer-
able counterfeiting of genuine culture
by ignorant people that has brought
Boston refinement into undeserved dis.
repute. -BoSton Home Journal.
