The recent disturbances near Jack
sons Hole, Utah, were mainly, IL not
wholly due, to the uni Just treatment of
the Indians by the white adventurous
and the cattlemen. On reading the
reports of the massacre of over two
hundred whites by the Indians, which
reports fortunately proved to be with
out foundation naturally felt
that the red skins should be wiped
from the face of the earth But the
fact seems to be, that it is the Indians
who need protection. The Milwaukee
journal, commenting on the subject
says:
1.-THE Indians Of the country have
been so thoroughly brought under con
troll and settled on reservations to
which their right by law and treaty is
we'll established, that they ought to be
protected on their reservations without
any hesitation or doubt. There is no
reason why they should be ousted by
the greed of INSCRIPTIONS, wandering
settlers and cattlemen. The time has
come when their rights ought not only
be conceded, but enforced. The day
has passed for listening to any excuse
for disturbing them based on the
claims of the meddlesome whites
They no longer have any power to
interfere with the whites In their own
settlements while they are within the
bounds OF law and Justice. The whites
are now the aggressors every time
Any crime that wandering or way
ward Indians may commit can now be
reached through the constituted au-
thorites without recourse to war with
its indticriminate slaughter of the inno-
cent and helpless. When pushed be-
yond endurance by the avaricious land
hunters, it is not surprising that they
resent and resort to the only means
known, or even possible, to them to
protect themselves and revenge the
wrongs 1t is absurd in these days to
talk about the helpless settlers; it is
the Indians that are helpless. If they
had fair treatment, they would be glad
to surrender their wrong, doors to the
authorities Of their own accord ms Il
means of self protection. 1t is time the
old methods of Indian killing ceased.

Latest News Indicates That the Settlers
Are All Right


MARKET LAKE. Ida, July 23-The
latest and most authentic reports indicate
that the settlers in Jackson's Hole are
unframed, and that no massacre has
taken place. Federal troops have gone
into the Jackson's Hole country, but tire
probability is that when they reach the
scene of the reported massacre they will
find, instead of the smoking ruins of cab.
ms and the mutilated corpses of settlers
and their families, the same old camp of
Jackson's Hole and lot of healthy,
husky settlers, who will perhaps be great.
ly surprised to learn of their reported
death. In fact, there is now almost posi-
tive evidence that there has been no
massacre.
The following tales have been anoat in
the last couple of days: That fifty or
more people wera slaughtered by Indians
three night ago; that sixteen families in
the JacksOns Hole country were mas
sacred; that the Lemhi Indians, 200 strong
that Is, the young bucks-have already
crossed the track at Beaver Canyon to
join the Bannocks; that thirty-1lve Fort
Hall Bannocks, with war paint and
feathers flying, marched through the
town of Idaho Falls, few miles to the
south of Market Lake, Thursday after
noon on their way to the Teton country;
that all tho passes into tho "hostle" coun-
try are guarded by Indians and that that
is the reason why no whites come out to
give reliable news.
The story of the fifty whites killed in
the Jacksons Hole country comes to
Market Lake third or fourth handed with
out names or any other Information than
is borne IN the bare statement given. Tho
same is true of the sixteen families"
story All told, there are not 500 Indians
on the Lemhi reservation when all are at
home 50 it is impossible for the number
of bucks quoted to have lett the agency
for the excit d country. The thirty five
Fort Hall Bannocks, who in war array
marched through Idaho Falls, were five
Bnnnocks travelling on passes given by
Agent Teter.
Indian Agent Teter in his report to the
Indian commission of his Investigations
of the Jackson Hole trouble says:
From reliable information I have no
hesitation in saying that for every elk
Killed unlaWlully by tno lnulanS TWO are
killed unlawtully by the settlers. The
majority of the citizens of Jackson's Hole
are men who have left their country r
their country's good. The Indians killed
by these settlers were practically massa'
cred. The men who committed the crime
should be prosecuted to tho fullest ex-
tent of the law. A certain element
among he settlers i'll the jackson Hole
country seems determined to drive the In
dians from that country at whatever cost
not recognizing any law themselves but
that which serves their interest"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inhamed You have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an intamrd condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (causcd by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.

For the Week Ending July 20, 1895
Warm days and cold nights, with
abundant rainfall have been beneficial
to crops and all conditions are favor
able for farm work. Heavy rains oc-
Cured on the 26th in nearly all sec
lions of the state, soaking the ground
to a depth Of four or five inches. Hail
and high winds did considerable dam
age in Sank and Grant counties on the
Goth. Farmers are now engaged in
stacking, threshiDg and fall blowing.
Small grains are nearly all harvested
except in the extreme northern portion
where they are just beginning on rye
and barley. Oats are being stacked
and in the southern counties thrcshers
are at work in earnest. The yield in
most cases Is much better than was
expected. Barley is remarkably fine,
both in quality and yield. Rye is I'M
even, but on the whole fair crop was
secured. Oats in the south central
portion of the state are generally light,
but in all other sections the crop Is
above the average. Many fields of
oats are badly lodged so that il will be
difficult to cut them and much waste
will result Corn has entirely recover
ed from the effects of drouth and is
coming on rapidly. The corn crop
never looked more promising at this
season of the year and present indlca.
tions are favorable for an unusually
large yield as the ears are setting
heavy.
Potatoes have been greatly benefited
by the rain, especially the late varieties.
Early potatoes, owing to the drouth
coming on at n critical period are Il
light crop, though the quality is very
good Late potatoes are still green
and setting for heavy yield. Squash,
pumpkins and melons are in the best
possible condition and an abundant
yield Is looked for. Cranberry vines
are setting buds for next years crop
and few berries will be picked this
season. Tobacco is growing Ilnely.
Blackberries will be plentiful. Milet
and Hungarian are not doing well in
some OF the southern counties, but in
other sections they are growing nicely
and will do much to help out the short
hay crop. The heavy growth Of fod-
der corn will also relieve much anxiety
regarding feed for stock
Pastures are again becoming green,
water plentiful and stock improving,
while the flow of milk Is increasing
rapidly. All conditions show u very
decided improvement over those eX
isting one week ago, the tone of our
correspondents report being more
hopeful than at any time this season;
crops have been secured In excellent
condition and those yet to be gathered
aro unusually promising. In the
southern part Of the state where the
drouth was most severe the crop of
hay and grain is very poor, but over Il
greater portion of the state, and espec-
tally the northwest counties and those
bordering on the lake, there is li,tIs TO
complain of in the way of short crops.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
Dispute Over the Legality of a
New Town in Oconto
County.

Oconto, Wis, Dec. 1S.-[Special.]- Ac-
ton has been commenced in the circuit
court by the Wisconsin Taxpayers as
ISOLATION to test the legality of the or
ganization of the town of Howe last
winter by the county board, upon the
grounds that residents of the towns of
Howe and Armstrong were not asked
to vote, according to law, upon the prop
osition to have portion of their terri
tory detached for the purpose of creating
a new town. Furthermore it is charged
that notices were not properly posted and
that the county board exceeded it's au-
thority by changing the boundary of the
town, taking in territory not applied for.
