 Esther, Warm Springs, N. O., writes to know what is proper in the matter of writing letters, especially as to the or der in which the pages should be writ ten.
 There are various customs in this matter, and variety is really the chief charm of arranging pages, so that as soon as one gets used to one style there will be another one introduced. You can, for instance, write the first page on the inside of the sheet, then skip two pages and write, then come back to page of your paper and write again, then stand on your head and write the

 LITTLE RocK, Oct a4.-The latest per- formance in the grand carnival of crime which is now holding the boards of the Indian Territory consisted of the whole. sale robbery of several small towns in genuine desperado style by Bill Cook. supported by eight or ten followers.
 Four men rode into the town of wato- va, making known their approach by promiscuous firing. The bandits terror ized the inhabitants, and most of them sought safety in their homes The out laws visited every store in the village and ran the merchants away with winchestors and revolyers. They took from the stores all tho money they could find and every thing else they wanted. The watova postofilce was robbed of about 500 in cash and S55 in stamps.
 From Watova the gang rodo to Talala, 10 miles away, where they repeated their depredations. They rode into tho town hnd proceeded at once to rob stores right and left.
 Every storo in the place was visited and the proprietors compelled at the point of reyolyers and wincbestors to turn over their cash. The postofficc was also robbed of stamps and n small amount of money
 The bandits entered the town boldly and mnde no effort to conceal their iden- tity. None was masked. From reports of their description they were undoubtedly the same gang that held up the Missouri Pacific train at Corota siding Saturday night.
 It Is believed that 1t was tho bandits intention to rob the Missouri Pacific pas. senger train at Talaln- While they wore holding up the postofiice the train pulled into tho station. The trainmen were no tilled, and the train was started nt once. Tho bandits did not tarry long after the train pulled out. They galloped out of town discharging their winchestors
