developed no opposition.
Mr. Thagard is one Of the most
painstaking, efficient and industrious

although recognizing their elasticity,
he WAS utterly unable To find words 10
suitably express his gratitude for The
maguif iceut manner ia which his
friends had overwhelmed him with
their great kindness.
He related the history of his life,
| told when and how he married He
said that after Mrs. Bullock had
hOnOred him by becoming his wifi,
he made two resolutions, one of which
unfortunately he had oftentimes bro
ken, but one of which, with but one
exception, he had kept inviOlate, and
it was to it that be felt that much Of
the happiness that had followed hi~
married life was to be attributed. one
of the resolutions was never To utter
al oath in his wife's presence nor go
home intoxicated. He said, unfortu-
nately, that on one occasion,
this last one, which he tried
so religiously to keep, was
broken, and the recital of the story
which caused his fall was exceedingly
amusing and much enjoyed.
General Bullock said that when he
came to Ocala he was a boy of sixteen,
that the country was very rough and
card playing and drinking We're the
chief amusements of the young people
| and many of the older ones, too, but
| fortunately he was thrown into the
company with one of the men that
Mr. ReardOn paid such a high tribute
to in his remarks, and this occurrence
turned the current of his life, and
whatever his achievements have been
he attributes it to that step.
In closing, Gen. Bullock thanked the
people most profoundly and pathet-
ically for the mementOes Of their af-
lection and said they should he heir
looms in his family and priced more
than any other of his earthly possess
ions, and that with the exception Of
this night fifty years ago this was the
proudest night of his life.
Miss Minnie Gamsby then sang
very beautifully that old song, "John
Anderson, My 10 John" after which
General and Mrs. BuIIock's friends
extended their warmCst congratuia-
tons to them.
Fruit lemonade was passed to the
visitors.
A gold wedding cake, decorated with
fifty lighted candles, formed n part Of
the festal occasion and was cut, first
by General and Mrs. Bullock and the
children and other relatives and af-
forwards by the ladies, Miss annie
Davis getting the ring, which signifies
the next one to be married. She very
gracefully presented the ring to Mrs.
Bullock. Mrs. Tydings got the slice
containing the thimble.
In honor of the event the ladies had
decorate the parlOr very beautifully,
the color scheme being gold through
out.

and reached Cottonwood Springs with
out further adventure. There they
found a large force of regular troops
just arrived, and reporting their expert
ence to the commander, scouting
party was sent out, which found the
body of the Indian just as they had left
it, and also the fresh trail of several
hundred warriors at the ford mentioned,
but did not see the hostiles themselves.
This was the extent of the surveying
party's Indian adventures on that trip.
All the way in they saw the traces of
their depredations, but they missed
them everywhere, by good luck.
At Blue Springs, however, they met q
party of five young men going to the
mountains. They were well-armed and
fearless, and were taking the chances Of
the road against the advice of the
plainsmen. While Mr.. Cottons party
were still at the station, a cavalry squad
came in, bringing in an ambulance the
bodies of all five of the young men.
They had found them stripped, mutil-
ated and scalped, lying by the roadside.

DEMOCRACY'S HOPE.

The republican party is the best
knit and most skillfully led political
party the world ever saw. Tt has had
more "luck" of the good kind, in the
last five or six years. than ever before
fell to any party's lot. It is intrenched
in every federal department., and rules
twenty EIGHT Of the states. 1t holds
in the hollow of it's hand essentially
the whole of the bounding, growing,
aggressive northwest, and the whole
Pacific slope. 1t is equally solid in
the middle north and the potential
east. 1t holds Delaware. It has prob
ably majority in both Maryland and
Kentucky, on a fair count.
To expect some petty quarrel be-
tween leaders to even seriously weak
en- an organization with it's prestige,
it's financial facilities, it's backing in
every social, financial ramification, is
vain imagining.
The one way the democracy can
hope to overcome it's rival is by and
through making itself worthy of the
country's respect and support. Pitch
out the isms and fads and follies; dis
card the leaders that have led only to
defeat and humiliation. Drop the
theorists whose vaporings have been
demonstrated of less value than the
babble of babes. Get back on the
broad platforms that covered every
principle of liberty, honesty and
efficiency. In word, make the party
worthy, and it will prosper. r.-Chatta-
nooga Times (Dem.).

HE UNDERSTANDS.

Our censors guard us roundabout,
And hedge us with their dusty creeds;
They cry us wrong in hope or doubt,
And howl like ban dogs at our deeds
They wall our knotted skein of life
And flout us for our clumsy hands,
Because with tangles it is rife
But all the time God understands.
Our censors me- sure step and stride
With mathematic rod and rule,
And when we wander to one side,
Straightway they cry aloud, "Thou fool"
And book and bell and candle bring
To curse the one who halting stands,
But, ahl the footsteps wandering
He understandable understands.
Our censors weigh our every word,
And sift it's sound for sign Of sin,
And whispered dreams that are unheard
Against the screen Of fate they pin.
With harpy smile they search our brain
To bind our thoughts with brazen bands
But hope shall struggle not in vain,
And all the time God understands.
He understands our little fears,
Our little doubts and little woes;
And in the shadow of the years
He sees the soul. He knows-He knows;
He scans u.s. not.a censors do
To mark the blindly searching hands
But all our good He brings to view,
He unde rstands-He understands.

A TALE OF THE PLAINS.

Mr.. H. G. Cotton, brother of
President w. A. Cotton Of the Merch-
ants Bank was in the Conservative office
the other day, bringing a newspaper
clipping that he judged rightly would
be of interest to US. Mr.. Cotton, who
now livesin Lewis, Iowa. north of Red
Oak, was an inhabitant of Omaha in the
earliest days, and later took part in the
first surveys for the Union Pacific. A
map of the old freighting trail to the
mountains, hanging on the Office wall,
interested him, and the comments ne
made on it certainly interested his
hearers he went over it inch by inch
for quite distance, pointing out the
stage stations and ranches, naming the
owners and telling what became Of this
one and that, and diverging here and
there into an anecdOte.
When he sat down again something
was said about Indians, and he there
upt n mentioned little incident, sug-
gested to him by the previous converse
tion, of the fall of 1866, when the
Cheyennes and Sioux for time inter-
rupted stage travel and drove in all the
ranchmen and surveying parties.
He was with a party of about eight,
who had been at work in the Laramie
plains and westward, until it was
thought dangerous to remain out any
longer. They therefore came down,
keeping a sharp lookout for Indians, but
seeing none until the night they camped
at O'Fallon's Bluffs. just above the
forks of the Platte. They always kept
a guard, as everybody did in crossing
the plains in the early days. The guard
consisted of two men, who were
changed occasionally through the night
This time thev were aroused in the
middle of the night by the guard calling
out that they had got an Indian. Their
story was this: They had been sitting
by their smoldering fire, when they
heard voice say "How," and at little
distance perceived an evil-looking In
dian sitting on his pony holding out
his hand. Then they covered him with
their guns and called up the others.
All hands tumbled out quickly and
surrounded the Indian, keeping care
full lookout for others. He sat on his

to dismount. Looking him over care
fully they observed that he had a new
hat OH his head, of the kind called
cowboy" also q new saddle-blanket
and a new bride on his horse. 1t was
therefore plain to them that he had
been concerned in some recent robbery
of emigrants and feeling satisfied that
he would bring a war party upon them
before morning if allowed to go, they
made him get off and spend the night
over him; in fact Mr.. Cotton says, none
of them slept any more that night
In the morning they concluded to
keep all eye on him, at least until they
reached Cottonwood Springs. Jack
Morrow had been driven off with the
rest of the ranchmen, but there was a
camp of soldiers there, and they expect
ed to reach the place before night. The
Indian objected. He liked to travel
with them, but had number of reasons
why it was not convenient at that time.
He would like to go and get his squaw
and pappoose, who were about ten
miles off on the right, and would meet
them again further down the road.
They did not doubt that he would meet
them, though they were skeptical as to
the squaw and pappoose; and they in
sisted all the more on his going with
them. They tied his PONY behind their
wagon, having already, as they sup
posed, taken away all his weapons, and
invited him to get in and ride. This he
refused to do. He didn't like to ride
he would walk. So he walked, naked
but for his breechcloth, hat and moe
casins, the others watching him sharp
ly.
Mr.. Cotton saw that he was continu-
ally trying to fall behind, and called
halt. Boys" he said, "this fellows
got to go in the wagon, if we have to
put him in by force" So they sur
rounded him and closed in, prepared to
throw him into the wagon.
Mr.. Cotton says he had the wickedest
| face he ever saw. His eyes glittered
like snakes. AS they came near him,
he whipped out from somewhere in his
breechcloth butcher knife-that long
and made leap for the nearest white
man. He lodged, and away went the
Indian, racing for the river like jack
rabbit.
All the party began popping at him
with their pistols, and one jumped into
the wagon and jerked out the rifle that,
like most OF the plains parties, tney had
hanging in the bows. This was long,
heavy gun, carving an ounce ball. The
man dropped on his knee, aimed care
fully at the jumping redskin. who was
nearly to the river bank by this time,
and when he fired he dropped him. The
ball struck him in the middle of the
back, and broke him in two. When
they came round him he was helpless
from the waist down, but he lay on his
back striking at them with his knife
like wasp. They fired ten or fifteen
balls into him, and then couple of the
wne saS add paean kna sswns on tasses
scalp. I got sick at the stomach and

They then hurried on, feeling uneasy,
for they were in very dangerous
neighborhood. A few miles back in
the sand hills to their right was a

Charles I. style, being very soft and
SO large that they are almost capelets
falling over the shoulders. In fact.
any collar or capelet that lends
breadth to the shoulders is the whim
of the moment.
Boleros are much in vogue, and
boast of wide collars, basques or short
tails. Furs enter into their construc-
ton largely, especially broadtail and
all black furs.
Macaroons of passementerie with
hanging drops or tassels trim the new
sacque coats, which are made in three
different lengths, i. e., very short like
a bolero, three-quarter, and quite
long. They are of colored cloth, silk,
velvet, silk gauze matte, brocaded
with velvet flowers, or plain, black
glace silk. Some of the newest sacque
coats have two or three shoulder
capes; in fact, all the latest coats
have either very large collars, or else
these capelets. The new capes are
also provided with huge collars which
turn up or down at pleasure.
Regal velvet gowns are every wom-
ans dream, and the peach-like bloom
on some of the new velvets would
tempt a saint.
In headgear there are picture hats,
toques, and an endless variety of pan
ama-shaped felts, with crowns and
brims of contrasting hues. Toques
made entirely of the plumage of the
lophophore and other tropical birds,
are as lovely as they are fragile.
Shapes of silk or velvet are trimmed
with fruit, such as cherries of silver
or scarlet velvet, or velvet apples,
grapes and plums.
Boas are fiat and wide, the latest
are of shot or chine silk fringed with
chinchilla or sable, with large heart
shaped muffs frilled to match. Very
picturesque stole capes are being
made in Paris. They are richly EN-
broidered and trimmed with fril.s of
lace or deep chenille fringe.
Dresses are trimmed with bias folds
of silk of some contrasting color, over
which silk cord or bebe ribbon is
crossed like a lacing.

in the front. Flounces continue in IA
wor, but short, plain coats and skirts
are Ia mode for morning wear. For
afternoon and visiting, she long skirts
are in evidence. Very trim are the
short skirts with curved seams, or
made with one or two shaped frills,
or sometimes they have a short kilt,
or two crossway folds of SELMA
terial.
Sleeves are the greatest difficulty
we have to contend with, but on gen
eral outlines they may be sorted thus:
For ordinary outdoor costumes, the
bell,shaped and bishop sleeve, and the
ordinary sleeve full from the elbow,
and caught into a cuff, are the best
to adopt. For visiting dresses the
plated sleeve full and loose over the
elbow, banded into a very deep Charles
I. cuff, or, for stout figures, the plain
sleeve, full at the back from shoulder
to wrist, caught in at intervals with
straps of silk and velvet or tiny but
tons. For full evening dress the Vic
torian and the elbow sleeve are in evil
dence.
Bodices are less pouched. The
crossover style is gaining ground, and
there is quite a possibility of the
plain-ftting habit bodice being taken
into favor once more.
Collars are all on the lines of
