Condition of Trade.
HILIP hS1CkI,
County Clerk.

Congressional adjournment, and proof
that though the rate of exchange rises
to and even above the shipping point
gold does not 90 out, have produced a
much better feeling. Prices do not i'm
prove, and there is on the whole no
gain, but some loss in wages, while
strikes Of $4,000 coal miners near. Pitts
burg and several thousand building
workers here, besides strikes in ten OF
twelve textile and iron establishments,
further lessen purchasing power for the
time. But anticipation of improved
demand for goods is general, and many
are manufacturing and buying beyond
present needs on the strength of it
Fears of financial disorders no longer
retard, though the redemption of notes
has averaged 1921 900 per day for the
month, but the fact that only S302, ,704
gold has been exported since February
2against $26, ,523, 1886 in January, strength
ems the impression that further exports
will somehow be prevented.

at an expense Of $1,000 which they will
deed to the county for the location of

Anonymous Letter Writing.

We were obliged some time ago to
refer to the authors Of anonymous
letters and our comments only had a
tendency to check the number for a
while but the authors continue in the
nefarious work as usual. While the
letters are somewhat aggravating to the
recipients it is simply because they are
unable to grasp the situation, or realize
blame or suspect innocent persons.
We have given up all hope Of saying or
doing anything that will check or stop
the towards and unprincipled persons
who vii! stOop SO low as to be the
author OF such missives, but we desire
to warn the public against such anony-
nous letter writer's not to allow the
contents of these letters to have any
effect upon them for they emanate from
the yilest and lowest creatures. Reader
can you imagine chine that is lower
than that of writing an anonymous
letter to injure the character of a
person without giving them an oppor-
tunity to defend themselves. We
sincerely hope that any lady or gentle
man receiving such letters will confne
them to the flames without a thought
of their contents. We know of several
persons who are and have been receiving
them for several years. The purpose
of the author of these letters appears
to be to create discussions and enmiti es
between friends, families and neighbors.
Many of the society people have
received them and their contents are of
the lowest and viIest nature. Nothing
seems to be too indecent to talk about
and refer to and the authors seem to
delight in writing the most indecent
things imaginable about our best people.
! We know OF no punishment that is too
severe for the author Of a low, indecent
anonymous letter, we only hope that
! those who are unfortunate in receiving
them will not allow their. contents to
affect them towards those whom they
are intended to harm. Let us all lend
our influence towards ferreting out the
authors that they may be suitably
punished.

Fun and Excitement.

The Uncle Josh Spruceby Company
played to a very good and appreciative
audience at the Grand last evening.
Some very clever specialties were put
on, the saw mill scene being quite
realistic and thrilling. One of the main
features of the performance was the
music by the hayseed bands, it being
one of the best bands ever in the city.
The audience enjoyed the performance
very much and there was a good many
encores.-Daily Gazette, GAINESVILLE.

He Was Completely Blind
Hospital Treatment FaiIedBut Hoods Sarsapala Made
Pure Blood and a Perfect Cure.

"Jersey City, N. j., Oct. 81, 1894.
&C. L. Hood s. Co., Lowell, Mass:
'sDear Sirs: l am thankful for
the good Hoods Sarsaparilla has done
our boy. AT the age of two years he
caught severe cold and it settled in
his eyes and his face became covered
with scabs, which the doctor said was
An Attack Of Eczema.
We tried different physicians in Jersey
City and New York City, but he got
little relief. finally took him to
hospital and his face was termed the
worst case the surgeons had ever
treated. He was under their care for
six months and the eczema on his
face was better, but it had become
worse in his eyes, and
He Was Now Blind
and could not see his hand before him.
Every attention had to be given him
as he could do nothing for himself. 1
had read and heard much about
Hoods Sarsaparilla and made up my
mind to try it in his case. After tax
ing the first two bottles we could see
a change in his eyes, the ulcers which
caused the blindness being less viru-
lent. was advised to take him to a
hospital, but l said / would continue
with Hoods Sarsaparilla, and thanks
be to it, he soon regained his sight
and is now, at six years of age,
Fat, Strong and Healthy
lad. Ihope every mother will take
my advice, which is to use Hoods
Sarsaparilla for every form of sick
ness. 1t will save lots of money,
trouble and worry. l speak from ex-
perience and l assure you / shall never
cease praising Hoods Sarsaparilla."

BAD BLOOD is SPILLED,
Men Fight to the Death in
the ChoctaW Na-
ton.
Federal Authorities Can Give Nc
Relief and a Reign Of Terror
Exists.

PARIS, TEX, April 13.--War has broken
loose in the eastern part of the Choctaw
Nation. Ever since the Jones-Locke feud
of two years ago the deadliest enmity has
prevailed between parties of different
political beliefs
News travels slowly in that isolated Sec
ton and it was only couple of weeks ago
that the full-blood Choctaws, who cannot
speak English, learned of the troubles that
existed between Governor Jones and Dick
Locke.
Last Monday Arnold Isliche was shot
down by some unknown party in his own
yard. He had been an avowed friend OF
Governor Jones and was man of influence
in his community. His assassination
aroused the whole community and the
Cooper boys, who had always been warm
friends of Locke, were suspected of the
crime.
Day before yesterday Solomon Lonaker,
Simpson Lonaker and three other friends
laid in wait two miles north of Eagleton, in
the Choctaw nation, for the Coopers, who
were planting crop. AS the Coopers
came up the Lonakers opened fire from
ambush with Winchesters. The fire was
returned. There were five men in each
party, and for three minutes a deadly
fusillade prevailed.
The results were not known until yester-
day, when Governor Gardiner of the Choc
taw nation CHANGED to pass the place, and
found Solomon Lonaker, Simpson Iona
ker, Carnelius Cooper and Tom Forbes
dead in the road, within few feet of each
other, with their Winchesters in their
hands.
Near his dead brother lay William
Cooper, shot in a dozen places, but still
alive and conscious. He gave Governor
Gardiner detailed statement of the whole
affair. His statement cannot be had now,
but enough is known to show that the
Lonakers were instigated to do the bloody
work by the use of money given by politi-
cal friends.
The Coopers were very popular and their
friends are furious over the affair and are
on the warpath swearing vengeance against
the Lonakers ana sill their friends.
Governor Gardiner was here to-day, and,
while deploring the situation, was power
less to do anything. The Federal authori-
ties could give no relief, as all of the par
ties were Indian citizens and had violated
no Federal law.

SHE'S NO LONGER A MISS,
Nellie Bly, the Wife of
Banker and Multi-Mil-
lionaire.
Riches Fall to the Lot of the Girl
Who Performed Great Jour-
nalistic FeatS.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 13.-The
Morning Advertiser says: Nellie Bly,, who
is one of the best-known newspaper
women in the country, is no longer Miss
Elizabeth Cochran. She is now Mrs. Rob-
ert Seaman. Her husband is one of the
directors of the Merchants Exchange Ma
tional Bank and multi-millionaire. He
is nearly 70 years Of age. In business and
financial circles he is quite as well known
as his wife is to the devotees of the Sunday
newspapers.
The reports of their marriage which
came from Chicago were quite correct. 1t
occurred April at the rectory of the
Church of the Epiphany on Ashland ave-
nue. of that city. The Rev. T. H Morrison
performed the ceremony. The contracting
parties had met at a dinner in the Audi
torium Hotel two weeks before and con-
ceived an instant attachment.
Mrs. Seaman was interviewed last night
by reporter and said: I cannot deny
the rumor. was married to Mr.. Seaman
in Chicago. He left the following day for
New York. Owing to my business affairs
and his we both desired to keep it secret
for time. 1t is his idea as soon as ar
rangements are completed to make for
NAL announcement of the wedding. Sick
ness in my own family also caused us to
delay its publication"
Miss Cochran edited her first newspaper
work on the Pittsburg Dispatch, which
was when she was Is years old. She has
been engaged in similar work in New York
for eight years, and has become famous for
the sensational character of contributions to
newspaper literature. One of her first ex-
ploits was to feign insanity and get her
self incarcerated in the Blackwell Island
Asylum for the purpose of describing her

KEEPING UP THE SIEGE,
More Serious Aspect of the
Trouble With the Miners
in Iowa.
Strikers and Militia Both Receiving
Re-enforcements in
Haste.

CENTERVILLE, Iowa, April 13.-The
miners meeting to-day was well attended.
The meeting was secret, and but little of
the proceedings was given out.
It was decided, however, to keep up the
siege at the mines along the Milwaukee
road which have also gone to work at less
than the regular rates.
The situation from the outside has a
more serious aspect than heretofore, and
there may be trouble when the men go to
work Monday morning.
The strikers who came to attend the
meeting to-day are going back IN squads
and are being REINFORCED, SO there will be
more present on Monday morning than at
any time before.
The military are still on duty and will
probably be REINFORCED by other companies
tomorrow.

From a photograph

think the contest will narrow down be-
tween these two beauties but the friends
of Miss Matthews seem determined to put
her on the floral car that will carry the
queen through the streets in the grand
carnival parade; and there are others Of
the candidates who are likely to make as
tonishing gains when the contest nears its
close.
A new candidate was brought out this
evening in the person of Miss Jennie Nor
rison, daughter of Oscar Morrison. This
young lady is one of the prettiest and most
popular bellies of the city.
The contest tonight stands in the fol.
lowing order:
1. Miss Donovan.
2. Miss Spottswood.
3. Miss Matthews.
4. Miss Bishop.
5. Miss Morrison.
6. Miss Rogers.
A number of those near the bottom Of
the list have withdrawn. Red hot rivalry
is expected after Monday, when the mum,
Der of votes will be announced from day
to day.
Some annoyance has been caused the
management of the carnival by the pub,
lished announcement that the carnival
would begin on May 6. 1t will not com
mence until May s, and will continue
three days.
The committee on programme and en-
tertainment held another meeting this
evening. Reports were received from the
several subcommittee having special
work in charge. The agreement securing
the presence of the Roncovieri band was
unanimously approved. 1t was the desire
of the committee to have this performance
free, but it was evident to all that the at
tendance would then be too great for the
capacity of the theater, so a scale of popu.
lar prices for admission to all parts of the
house will be adopted.
Miss Elliott of the flower committee was
present by request, and outlined the plan
of the floral display. The flower show is
to be held in Ridgeway Hall, but a PROPOSE
ton is under consideration to procure q
large tent to be spread upon convenient
vacant lot, this to be additional to the dis
play in the hall.
Mayor Woodward and Chairman Har
din returned this evening from Heads,

of the carnival. They report that city
