The gold bond men are not having

by the following from the Chicago In.
ter Ocean: The trustees OF the sink

anxious to refund a four per cent in

syndicate Of capitalists are ready to
furnish money for the refunding on "A
basis of 3.65 per cent providing the

principal and interest, in gold. The
trustees are about to accept the offer
Of the syndicate when certain citizens
pray for an injunction in restraint of
obligation to pay in gold only. The
common pleas court rules that the
trustees are empowered to enter into
such obligations: the plaintiffs appeal
to the circuit court, and the decree in
common pleas is overruled. The trus-
tees now appeal to the supreme court,
and by it the ruling Of the circuit
court is sustained. Thus, in so far as
the highest court of Ohio can deter

Springer Stockman: 1t has been
the history Of countries from genera
tion to generation, that climatic
changes come; such changes have been
readily noticed within the past few
years in our territory, and the seasons
are becoming more productive year by
year. As the land is being broken,
waterways and reservoirs constructed
the rains are naturally more abundant.

First congregational.

The sermon at the First Congrega-
tional church yesterday morning was
preached by Rev. Clarence T. Brown,
who took as his text the following
words: 1.-The plowman shall overtake
the reaper. Amos, 8, l3.
He said that Amos, as well as the
other old Biblical writers, found in
spiration in nature. The gospel of the
soul could find better illustrations
where the sun shone brightly, and the
wind blew freely. In this case the
figure contains food for much thought.
A wheat field is representative of
Christian life 1t is cultivated each
recurring season. The grass springs
up of it's own will, without cultivation
but in order to have crop of wheat,
| 1t is necessary to pillow and plant
The plough must be used, or there
will be no need of the sickle. Every
Christian should continually engage
in the practical work of Christianity.
Often persons join the church, and
continue in it for a time, working hard
| to do their duty as Christians. Then
! they remain in the church without
doing Christian work, and wonder why
it is that their religion does not seem
so good to them. SO will religion lose
| it's brightness, unless the Christian
continues to live an active, earnest
| life.
The Christian world should know no
east or west 1t should know no in
tervai. One cannot be prayerful
enough one week to excuse laxity the
| next. One cannot love his child well
| enough this day to be less loving to-
morrow. One cannot be strong enough
churchman and worker in New Eng
| land, to obtain an excuse for being
merely church attendant here. One
cannot be sufficiently pure now to al
low him to forget his purity in the fu-
ture. The obligation is continuous.
1t is necessary to plough and plough,
always using the greatest possible en-
ergy
Inc text furnishes an example of
how life and death overlap one another
in this world. 1t is an example of
continuity. The fulfllment of one DUR
pose merely makes room for the be-
ginning of another. Life is artifcially
divided by man, but such a division
does not hold good in the infinite.
Youth is regarded as a season of
preparation. Yet in youth we receive
our rewards. Age is regarded as the
| time of rewards. Yet age is not with
out it's struggles. We must continu-
ally sow in order to reap. The plough
must continually work in order that
! the sickle may be used.

NEWS NOT GREENFIELD.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug 25.-Diamond
Valley, the scene Of the reported killing
of fifteen Bannock Indians. is situated in
the southeastern corner of Oregon. Burns,
the county seat of Harvey county, is $50
miles distant from Ontario, the nearest
telegraph office. Ontario is a small sta
ton on the Oregon Short Line near the
border between Oregon and Idaho. The
news is not credited here, as it was not
known that any Bannocks We're IN that
vicinity.
Diamond valley is owned almost en-
tirely by Peter French, the most ex-
tensive cattle raiser in Oregon. He
also has ranches scattered over the
whole of southeastern Oregon and his
cattle are numbered by the tens of
thousands Rye" Smith is one of
French's foremen, and when drinking
is said to be very quarrelsome.
Mr.. c. A. Moore, a well known at
torney of this city, who is acquainted
with Smith, and who was a resident
of Lake county for several years,
said:
Il do not believe fifteen Indians have
been killed. 1t is likely the Indians
came into Diamond valley to fish and
hunt, and French's men drove them
out French cuts immense quantities
of hay every summer, and probably
the Indian ponies were feeding on the
hay lands, which incensed Smith, and
he. with his men, may have killed an
Indian or two, but I think it highly
improbable that fifteen Indians were
killed "

CLAYTON, N. NJ, Aug. 25.-In a
fight between officers and outlaws
fifty miles east of here last night two
deputies and six outlaws were injured.
A posse was organized Friday to pur-
sue band of horsethieves who had
been annoying the inhabitants of Bea-
yer county, o. T. Deputy Sheriff Theo-
dore Cotton, of Mineral City, Q. T.,
with six men, came upon the gang
Thursday at the Bright ranch and
captured Sam Smith, one of the thieves,
who confessed, duplicating Howard
Bright, John Bright, Archie Bright and
three others, whose names were Doug
las, Gust and Hill.
Sheriff Magill and his posse came
on the gang yesterday and called upon
them to surrender. He was answered
by a shot from Hills Winchester,
which passed through his left arm, in
fiicting a serious wound. Here a gem
eral fight ensued, in which Bill Coch-
rane, one Of the posse, was dangerously
shot in the leg. After a hard fight the
posse succeeded in capturing four Of
the gang, while Hill and Gust made
good their escape, 1t is reported here
that Hill and Gust have Joined Law
renee and Blake, the two men supposed
to have taken part in the Arizona train
robbery few weeks ago and are now
in ambush on the Cimmaron river
near Mineral City. Hill is a noted
criminal, having taken an active part
in the liberation of prisoners at Wood
ward, o. T., year ago. A reward Of
81 400 is offered for his capture. The
feeling against Hill and Gust is run
ming high, and if captured alive a
lynching may take place.

HOUSES WITH EASEMENTS.
Reason For the Attack on the Mis-.
sionaries at Ku Cheng.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Sam Moy, a
prominent Chinese merchant of this
city, has received a copy of a Chinese
newspaper published at Foo Chow,
which gives four columns of space to
the attacks upon the English and
American missionaries in June
The paper is interesting because it
contains the Chinese version of the
affair, including the reasons given for
the beginning of the attacks, which
hitherto were supposed to have been
purely the results of religious fanatics
The translation of the principal points
of the Chinese review of the riots
shows the attack on the mission houses
arose, firstly from motives of mere
robbery, caused by the building of
houses with Easements. and secondly,
by the revelation of the corrupt
practices of some of the hangers-on Of
the mission stations.
According to this paper, the mis-
sionaries had built houses with base
mentS, something unusual in China
AS there We're no other easements in
Ku Cheng or it's vicinity, the pc
culiarity excited the curiosity of the
people.
There is a large camp of bandits
near Ku Cheng, composed of the wild
tribes and fugitives from justice from
the civilized parts of Fo. tKien. Their
bandetti heard of the popularity of
the construction of the mission houses
and conceiving that the easements
were built to hide treasure, the bandit
ii planned and executed the first raid
for the purpose of robbery

hand, a high order of ability and pro-
found learning are required to succeed
in certain branches Of the profession
that are not at all lucrative. It is
rather odd that so many members or
the bar are looked upon as great in
their profession simply because people
pay them enormous fees. But then,
money always means so much to US.
When asked if there were not al
ready too many lawyers in the land.
Mr.. Carter replied:
THAT depends upon the point Of
view If you mean too many to
prosper the individual lawyer must de-
eide that matter for himself. If you
mean too many on general principles,
the question arises whether it is an evil
to have lots Of good lawyers in the
country. General dissemination Of a
knowledge of the law is a good thing.
The impression prevails that the eX-
istence of many lawyers increases liti-
cation. There could not be a greater
error. Paradoxical as it may seem, the
more lawyers there are the less litiga-
ton there should be. That is owing to
the fact that the lawyers duty is not
to take his client into court unless he
must Hundreds of cases are amicably
settled without legal process, thanks
to the attorneys. Litigation increases,
certainly. but then population and
wealth Increases.
Colonel Edward C. Jones, another
able lawyer of this city, has been
asked to contribute his knowledge to
the meeting, on any one of the many
subjects he has at his fingers ends.
The manner in which he handled the
Russell Sage case, growing out of the
famous bomb explosion, has given him
a new renown as a tactician of the
courtroom. Colonel James came from
st. Lawrence county some ten years
ago, where he was noted for his elo-
quence and learning. He brought with
him a considerable fortune, "a part of
which went down with the wreck of
Grant & Ward. His success at the bar
has been uninterrupted and remark
able.

TRAGEDY in A BROTHEL.
A Woman Who Refused to Leave the
the Life She Was Leading

SIOUX CITY. Ia, Aug. 25.-Early this
Noack, of Marcus. Ia, was found dead in
a room with a bullet wound in his BRAIN
BY his side lay Hazel Hammond, an
inmate of the house, with bullet wound
turned and the clothing of the dead man
had commenced to burn when the tragedy
was discovered. The cause of the trag-
edy is unknown. Noack had only been in
the city few weeks and was but little
known. Hazel Hammond, or Ora Minton,
as her right ,namevis said to be, is said
to have come from Central City, Neb.,
where her parents are reported to live.
Noack, it is believed. was trying to in
duce the woman to leave the life she was
leading and return to her home and when
she refused he shot her and then killed
himself. The woman may live.
