The Imperturbable Nurse.

When a woman looks upon bodily suf-
fering every day and all day, year after
year, it is impossible for her to be affS,ted
in the same way at the thousandth sPecta-
Gle or scream of pain as she was at the
first Those who live near loudly strik-
ing clock fail TO notice it at last, though
their ears have not grown dull OF hearing.
So the perpetual sight Of sickness and
disease especially when accompanied by
an effort to ropress emotion, must blunt
the impulsiveness of sympathy. But, in
fact, the quietly perceptive eyes of the
trained nurse are far more likely TO see
what is the matter with the patient than
those of the keenest inexperienced specta-
tor, and she placidly spots his needs,
which she relieves, while the other is sin
cerely profuse in his or her expressions Of
coincidence. Real concern at the pain Of
another is apt to evaporate if the bottle Of
sympathy is allowed 10 remain uncorked.
Thus the good nurse, checking the bub-
bles of tenderness and compassion, is set
upon tending the sufferer, while others
only tell him how sorry they are to see
him in pain.-Good Words.

Golden is not expected to live.

supposed to be killed or wounded.
George Morse and Oliver Cole, were in

They narrowly escaped with their lives.
The buildings on the fair grounds, but a
few rods away. are demolished.
In Great Oak township, five miles south
west, the storm was very serious. Many
buildings ars reported to have been blown
down, but owing to the local confusion
that prevails, it is impossible to obtain re-
liable reports. In this city the storm was
severe, but no serious damage was done.

Special Dispatch 10 the Daily Eagle.
KILDARE, .. r.. Sept 2L-For some
time it has been rnmored that natural gas
came up from a well on the farm j. Nc
Claskey. in this. X, county.
To satisfy themselves, Ii. A. Miller and
c. o. johnson, two responsible citizens of
this city, yesterday went out to the farm
and discovered that the rumor was true
aud that natural gas does exist in Oklaho-
ma. Their investigations bring the first
proof of it's existence in the territory. The
two gentlemen were shown the well and
lighted match was held over the top Of II
and Immediately blue flame, OF intense
heat, shot up into the air and burned for a
seconds, then went out. Lighted matches
were repeatedly thrown into the well aud
met with the same result.
The vein is of sufficient strength to keep
burning constantly if confined. 1t was
struck at depth of ninety-siX feet, in
bed of hard, dry clay or rock. The well
has been abandoned for the present, but
il may be drilled to A greater depth in the
near future if capitalists can be persuaded
TO take an interest in it.
This discovery will be a great encourage
ment TO the many towns in Oklahoma
which have gone Systematically to work TO
solve the question. An outfit at Oklahoma
City began boring yesterday.

Early in one October had the only op-

eslf in my 90 Years of experience in
forest and field of studying the method
employed by the cock partridge in produc-
ing that peculiar sound known among
sportsmen as drumming. j WIS out with
my gun looking for quail quite early in
the morning and was working toward
small wooded swamp where I knew the
birds found a safe shelter at roosting time
as well as from the gun when flushed by
dog, for no hunter, no matter how ardent,
would have the temerity to brave the suck
holes and wild brier vines. Hearing the
call of quail, stopped to listen and To-
cate him positively. / stood facing stone
wall, distant about six rods, on each side
of which grew hazel bushes. Suddenly
out Of those on the opposite side sprang a
fine old cock partridge, who dropped on
the wall directly in front of me- tail
spread, ruff standing out and crest raised
the picture of alerrness. What chance
for an artist. hardly breathed. Between
us was small alder bush, tall and slim
This was the only shelter, yet the bird did
not seem TO notice me, for after standing

seeming to enjoy the rays of the sun, which
shone warm and bright.
/ stood and watched him thus for prob
ably 10 minutes ard was considering
whether to let him go altogether or flush
and try a shot when he stopped, shook
himself, stretched one wing and leg then
the other, took look all around, and
slightly raising his feathers as sitting
hen when disturbed raised his wings a
little sbove a horizontal line and brought
them down against his body, increasing
the time until it ended in flutter, as 1t
seemed. This watched him repeat. The
third time I moved slightly. He spotted
me and moved also. But stopped him
not 10 feet from where he stood and when
heard him giving his last flutter 1 felt
like a murderer
l am perfectly satisfied on one point,
however, that the mysterious noise, as
some term it, is produced by striking the
wings against the body. AS many will
admit who have had the opportunity TO
observe the sound is more pronounced and
distinct at a distance than very near il,
where it has a muffled, futtering sound.

INDIANS MAKING WAR,
Tremendous Excitement Over an Out.
break at Woodward.

Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle.
WOODWARD. y. T., Sept 2L-Great ex-
element prevails in this town and vicinity
over a threatened Indian outbreak. A re-
port came To this town by courier late last
night that marauding baud of Cheyenne
Indians had armed themselves and were
driving cattle off. Any resistance on the
part of the cattiemen were promptly and
without ceremony met with hot volley
Of Wincheste: bullets. The whites ars
arming and bloody conflict is imminent.
Your correspondent has worked untiringly
endeGyoring TO get a correct status of the
condition of affairs, but was met upon all
sides by most conflicting reports. One re-
port, and which is most liable TO be cor
rect, is that the Indians drove off sew
eral head of cattle belonging TO Ira Eddie
man. They were come upon by cowboys
working for The cattlemen. who demanded
that the Indians desist in their depreda-
tions, which advice was answered by a shot
from the marauding devils. A running
fusillade followed. In the engagement
one cowboy and an Indian were killed and
two on both sides wounded.
Another report is 10 the effect that the
Indians and cow-punchers got into diff

ensued, they not agreeing as TO the owner
ship of said cattle
FIT. supply is sixteen miles from here,
and it is not known whether troops have
been sent to quell the trouble. Your cor
respondent will go to Supply tomorrow and
learn every particular of the affair. If the
Indians carry their depredations any
further, the whites in this vicinity, who
are determined set of men, will give
them no quarter and wipe them from the
face Of the earth.
1t would be foolhardy thing to aban-
don Eft. Supply. as is contemplated by the
war department. 1t is situated on the
outskirts of the wids OF the Indian Terri
Territory aud New Mexico, and is one of
the most important situations in the de-
Dartment of the Missouri. Surely those in
authority n Washington, who do their
Indian fighting upon the Smyrna surface
Of a Connecticut avenue drawing-room
know little of the important situation of
Fit. Supply. or they would not show their
thorough geographical ignorance by issu-
ing an order for the abandonmens of snch
