REFUGE FOR CRIMINALS.
Governor FishbacIx's Complaint Con-
corning Indian Territory.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. Ex-Governor
Fishback has written letter TO President
Cleveland complaining of the fact that the
Indian Territory is an asylum for danger
Gus criminals of all kinds. The letter is in
part as follows:
1.-THE developments incident to the recent
train robbery and murder at Oliphant, in
this State renders it proper. it seems to
me. that 1 call your attention to the dam
gerouS relation which the Indian Territory
west of us occupies to the States of the
Union. and especially to the adjacent
States of Arkansas, Kansas, Texas and
Oklahoma Territory. Upon the person Of
one OF the captured robbers was found q
map of the route they had taken from the
Indian Territory, 175 miles, to the scene
of the robbery: and also a map of the coun-
that another robbery was contemplated at
or near that city.
1 have good reason to suspect that very
large percentage Of the bank and train
robberies which take place west of the
Alleghenies and east of the Rocky mount
aims are organized or originate in this In
dian Territory. Let me add that the refuge
which this sparsely settled rendezvous of
outlaws affords to criminals is a constant
temptation to crime in all the country
around. During the past twelve months
there have been issued from the States of
Arkansas, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma
Territory siXty-one acquisitions upon the
Indian Territory authorities for fugitiveS,
while we have reason TO believe that as
many more are hiding among their COM
rades in crime in this asylum of criminals.
Criminals who find refuge in this Terri
tory are rapidly converting the Indian Ter
rtory into a school of crime. The federal
Jail at Fort Smith is at all seasons nearly
full of prisoners from this Territory, and
the federal court holds sessions continuing
through nearly every month in the year.
This state of semi-chaoS and the farces
of government which exist in this Terri
tory suggests the very serious question
whether the time has not arrived for the
federal government to assert its right of
eminent domain over this part of the
tional domain and to change it's political
relations with the United States Not only
the public good but public safety, as we'll
as the highest interests OF the Indian him
self, demand the suggested change"

AT THE FALLS.

Superintendent Gilbert Williams of the garnet works has laid off all his min- CTS, seven in number, for the winter, as the weather was too severe on the hill to work at profit for the company. He has stone enough mined out and under cover to keep the old mill running till spring opens. MT Williams now drives his own team and does all the hauling and keeps two men in the mill crushing the stone and shipping it to East Wal pole, Mass, where it is manufactured into sandpaper and emory wheels. Mir Williams has given the new factory on the hill fresh coat of red paint and picked up all the loose timber and wood, getting every thing in good shape for winter. He is located in his new home just south of the mill and is right at his work, and we presume feels quite at home as he owns fine meadow on which he built his house and barn, with stablas for three horses, with hay overhead, wagon shed hen house, COW stable and other build- ings to suit his taste. It looks quite like village from distance.

OUT IN A BLIZZARD.

J. F. Blaize, an extensive real estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa., narrowly escaped one of the severest attacks of pneumonia while in the northern part of that state during a recent blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr Blaize had occasion to drive several miles during the storm and was 80 thoroughly chilled that he was unable to get warm. and inside of an hour after his return he was threat ened with a severe case of pneumonia or lung fever. Mir Blaize sent to the near est drug store and got bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard, and took number of large doses. He says the effect was won- derful and in short time he was breath ing quite easily. He kept on taking the medicine and the next day was able to come to Des Moines. Mir BIaize regards his cure as simply wonderful. For sale by E. K. Hawley, Newtown, and s. '. Bull, Sandy Hook.

Two good trotting horses make up a span of life.
 Redman C., the pacing stallion, died recently at Clinton, Mo.
 Flora Temple, 219 B., and Goldsmith Maid, 2.14, once queens of the trotting turf, had three foaIs each.
 Budd Doble thinks Arion can beat 04 next year, and we hope Budd will be in shape to help him do it.
 Blue Sign has entirely recovered from the injury he received in New York, last September, and is regularly driven.
 The pacing stallion, Creole, 2.15, by Prompter, dam Grace, by Buccaneer, has been sold to parties in Honolulu.
 Generally a community that raises good horses shows progress and intelli- gence and will almost surely become prosperous.
 Breeding pedigrees without horses has had it's day. Very true. It is likewise true that breeding horses without pedi- gress has also had it's day. Jack Curry declares that Alix can equal Nancy's record of 2.O4 and says he has driven her quarters in % l-2 seconds and an eighth in B 1-2 seconds. Alix, while at full speed, strides 2l feet. In order to raise horses in the best pos sible way you must not only start right but end right. If colt once becomes stunted or injured in any way it will rare- Iy recover from the effects and unless good care is taken it is comparatively easy to stunt colt during it's first win ter.
 Like George Wilkes, the stout-hearted Director proved great on the turf and still greater in the stud.
 Breeders who have the courage to wait, will reap harvest. The horse was nev- CT more than now an idol of the public.
 The New York sales show the trotting horse market all right. The prices were not extravagant but men can breed them for what they brought. The winners don't come nowadays from our big stables. The boy on the l farm comes along with a colt or two and l Jugs off the better part of the purses. Small breeders are procuring better sires and many crossroads mongrel is being replaced by a really well-bred horse which will lead to the production of more good roadsters at the present time, quite scarce in all the breeding dis tricss.
 The smallest breeders will in the flu ture nake the most money, says the American Trotter. The man who m hut q few select mares ma breeds then

The sale is to be called a Concession Sale, which means that the firm is going to divide profits, and they emphatically state that the wage earners shall have the biggest half.
 Almost all working people are now work ing on haIt time or reduced pay, and at usual prices could not afford to buy their regular opportunity is offered them to buy wearing apparel at reduced prices, and just at the opening of the winter they will be only too glad to take apvantage ot this firms liberal policy.

 There is one thing about the pacer that seems to be pretty well settled and that is that whatever may be his capacity for going fast there is no discount on his abil- ity to race year in and out longer than any other on the turf. It is singular fact that of the 30 or more 21O pacers

NoN-RELrGIoUs TENDENCIES.

NON-RELIGIOUS TENDENCIES.
 There is very marked change in the religious tendencies of the inhabitants in our back towns, to any one who will study their history carefully. On roads running out of Huntingdon Center for two or three miles, 40 or 50 years ago, nearly all of the 10 or 12 families, along the road were regular church goers. But gradually one sfter another of these families moved away, or died out, and their place is vacant CT occupied by for eigners or others, who care little or noth- ing for church or church privileges. So that now on the average, not more than one in three of the families could be called regular attendants at church. In the death of Mrs Sarah A. Nichols, an other old homestead in the Center is left vacant, with no relatives to occupy it. It is to be sincerely hoped that this house and lot, which has been occupied by Christians for 100 years or more, may not, like so many others, fall into the hands of those who have no true inter est in the moral or spiritual welfare o1 the place. And we presume that Hunt ington is no exception in this respect tt the general tendencies in these bacl towns.

A CHAT WITH A LOCAL uORSEMAN.
 Among the farmers in town wEo take a special interest in raising horses is Frank Stoughton of Carmel Hill, who has seven horses on his farm. Almost every other man thinks he has the best horse in town, but MT Stoughton possesses some good blooded stock. He has two good colts of Quartermaster stock, breed with a good reputation. A promising yearling colt by a son of Quartermaster, and of Jefferson mare, he values high ly; also a four.mOnth8 old colt, out of a Highland Duke mare. His stock also in- cludcs a tive-year-old Duke mare, which he calls one of the best horses about. Mir Stoughton raises d few horses to sell but raises them primarily because he likes horses and wouldn't farm it without them. "When you buy 'em," said Mir Stoughton, "You don't always know what you get. l don't know as it is go- ing to pay to raise horses in the future, as well as it has in the past. Horse-flesh is rather looking down. A tirst-class horse will bring perhaps as good price as ever, but cheap horse is cheap. When you get good roader weighing from 1000 to 1900 pounds, you will have to pay for it.'
