three desperadoes fatally wounded and
captured in a fight on the Arkansas
river, 40 miles east of here, Monday
night. A messenger brought the news

are a great many bands of cattle
thieves who have terrorized residents
for some time. Only a few days ago
a farmer was killed while trying to
protect his property.
The three desperadoes who were
captured Monday night had stolen a
whole herd of cattle from the reserva-
ton and were taking them to a rail-
road station when the three marshals
overlook them and the fight began.

the fight continued for nearly an hour,
when another desperate fell and the
remaining one started to run, but was
brought down. 1t is thought that none

A constant itching tries your patience,
Nothing so annoying, nothing so irrita-

free from these troubles. Read the fol-
lowing:

were arranging to do business some
where else.
That this great industry might not be
crippled for moment, through the
courtesy of other prominent firms and
citizens, the large factory and adjoining
buildings on South street We're vacated

Especial Correspondence
Harrisburg, July 10.-Pennsylvania
will be well to the front in enthusiasm
and party fervor in the coming presi-
Dental campaign.
A proposition has been made to the
party leaders to assist in the organiza-
ton of what shall be known as Rough
Rider" campaign clubs.
These organizations, it is suggested,
shall be composed of young Republi-
cans, who will be recruited for the
campaign and who will attend mass
meetings and other party rallies in the
interests of Mckinley and Roosevelt
and the entire Republican ticket.
ROUGH RIDERS RIGS.
It is proposed that the men who par
ticipate in the demonstrations in which
these clubs shall figure shall be uni
formed in suits of khaki, with the
Rough Rider slouch hats and leggings,
and each to wear an artificial eye
glass, as a sort of suggestion Of Roose-
velt's personality.
Gen. Reeder, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee, is under
stood to look with favor upon this sug-
and the energies of young Republicans
of the state, and, it is said, he will
make an effort to get Col. Roosevelt
to make az least one speech during the
present campaign in Pennsylvania.
The local Rough Rider clubs will be
gotten together for this occasion and
a great ovation is promised the vice
presidential candidate and the hero Of

Col. Quay will not take any undue
credit for the attitude of the delega-
tion from this state on the issue of the
vice presidency. He made it quite clear
that he advocated the nomination OF
Col. Roosevelt for vice president, not
on personal grounds-for it is prob
able that they had not exchanged a
dozen words before they met in Phil
adelphia prior to the conventiOn-but
purely in the interest of the Republi-
can party and VITA desire to see the
ticket elected Senator Penrose has
