THE MARIETTA PICNIC.
A Very Pleasant, Quiet. Social Gath
erine-The Ball Game.

The picnic at Marietta yesterday
was well attended, and was a quiet,
social gathering in one OF the prettiest
natural parks in the Chickasaw Ma.
tion and will long be remembered as
very pleasant affair
The mule races attracted consider
able attention. A game of ball be-
tween the regular nine and the Mari
eta band was the chief feature of en-
tertainment. The Marietta diamond
was too far from the park and the
game was played on the open prairie.
So skillfully was the game played
that at the close of the ninth inning
It stood 4 to B. The result was in
favor of the band boys.

POLITICS o.

BY the request of citiEens-ad-
hereuts to the faith Of both politi-
cal parties I'VE publish few ex-
cerpts of the Cottonwood Report,
during and after the campaign of
1896. The request was made of us
by some OF the leaders of both par
ties and was called forth by asser-
tions made at the recent repqt lican
convention in this city. We could
quote column after column OF mat
ter, printed in the same publica-
ton, hut here is a criterion to the
balance of the articles. The first
appeared under the date Of June
10, 1896, and is as follows:
Every pot hunter Of an office
seeker should be laid upon the
shelf. This thing of Mckinley
and Reed and others working for
the nomination of president, is rot
ten, and shame, and disgrace to
our civilization"
The next two were printed after
McKinley's election and appeared
In the issue of November 20, 1896.
Here they are;
'sNow remember the republicans
promised that if you would restore
them to power in the nation they
would open the mills to the idle
labor, that they would bring pros
perity in on food tide. A great
many people believed them and
voted that way. We desire to go
ON record right here by saying that
they cannot do it. Their remedy
is quack medicine. It will make
the patient worse and in 1900 the
people will be fed on the same old
quack nostrums of "sound money"
and protection"
And
Because we are possibly defeated
by Doodle and empty sound
promises let US not despair, but go
to work CALAMITY for the next cam
paign. We are right in our dag
nosis Of the nations ills, and every
day from now until the close of the
coming cam paign will verify our
position. The republicans cannot
and will not, through their pro-
posed policy bring prosperity to
the working people, But we know
they will not be able to fool them
the next trip"
These remarks were made by a
man who claims to have always
been republican, and defies any
one to deny it. We quote them
because stress Of circumstances
has nearly forced it upon us--not
because we wish to champion
through these columns one cause or
the other---bus because it is due
both parties at this juncture to see
them. Furthermore it is due our
selves, after hearing the remarks
before and at the convention to
publish facts that we can substan-
tate in palliation of the intended
slur at that time.

San Francisco, July 2S.-Lieu-

who, late of the Philippine scouts,
has returned from Manila, tells of
the existence in the interior of
Mindoro island of a perfectly white
race, semi-ciYilized, partially
Christianized but cruelty hostile in
their encouragement of commune
cation with the outside world.
The favored few that have been
permitted to penetrate the fastness
of these exclusive Cauoasians tell
OF country rich in vegetable and
mineral wealth and of people
skilled in the various domestic
crafts, orderly, gentle and hospit-
able, but we'll enough satisfied

intrusion of the strenuous oiviliza-
ton of the outside.
Managua, Nicaragua, July 2S.--
Five hundred per cett premium is
now being offered for foreign exr
change here. The merchants have
greatly advanced the prices OF for
eign goods in the past few days,
and will probably further increase
prices in the near future or refuse
to take Nioaraguan paper money.
There is little silver coin and no
gold coin in circulation in the
country. The Nicaraguans are
very much depressed over the pas
sage by the American congress of
the Spooner amendment. They
had been INDUCING in high hopes
that the isthmian canal would be
constructed through their country
and that the money to be derived
from the building of the canal
would relieve the distressing f1nan.
cial condition of Nicaragua.
That the Snake river channel
contains the bones of an extinct
race of mastodons has been evinced
again by a find one mile down the
river from American Falls by Will
liam Barnhardt. He brought in a
wagon load of bones all we'll pre-
served and not the least fossilized,
belonging to some animal which
when alive was obviously much
larger than any of the extant quad
rupeds. The femur, which is in
perfect condition, measures 45
inches in length and weighs As

preserved and the processes of de-
cay or petrifcation have neither of
them begun, there is much specu-
lation as to how recently this
mammoth lived. Mr.. e. E. Stuart

There is something significant in
the fact that the great syndicates
that are purchasing timber in the
Clearwater pine belt are. always
very solicitous to have it tributary
to the north fork of the Clearwater.
There is rumor of tacit under
standing between the timber cor
porations and the railroads that
there will be a railroad up the
north fork ready for traffic when
the time comes to move the timber.
