arid he “would give up nothing,** Blaine
sought County Attorney Randell and
Sheriff Douglas* to know what waa beat

upon which to make an arrest, but be-
fore it was issued Dot
Courier
M-. Kendall says this account is
lubstknially true so far as his receiv-
ing the $19.30 is concerned, but his
explanation puts the affair in an en-
tirely different light. He was occu-
pying a teat with Mr. L. T. Morris,
a well known business man of Cad
do, and paid for their two tickets.
Soon after, and Just before the train
reached Sherman, the conductor,
Mr. C. Lasher, came along and
handed him six $3.50 gold piec-
es, four dollars in silver and two ten
cent pieces, and then moyed on and
left the car. Mr. Kendall counted
the money and turning to Mr. Mor-
ris, enquired, “Did I give the con-
ductor a twenty dollar gold piece.”
Morris said no. Having drawn
$too from the bank before leaving
the city in $30 gold pieces, Mr.
Kendall says he thought it possible
he had handed the conductor one of
them and immediately drew out his
money, end found he still had the
five pieces. Meantime the train had
stopped at Sherman and the con-
ductor was out of sight. Mr. Ken-
dall says be remarked to Mr. Morris
the conductor lived a few doors from
his residence in Denison, and he
would have a joke on him, or words
to that effect, and went on up town.
Mr. Kendall further explains that
Ren Haguewood haa been a bitter
enemy of his for some time and that
Marahal Blaine Is no friend.
Mr. Kendall has lived in this
country a number of years, has just
opened a commission house in this
city, and knew that Mr. Lasher, the
conductor was a resident of Denison,
and probably acquainted Vwith him.
These circumstances alone are
aufileient to give credit to his expla-
nation. - .• i'-
Terrible Earthquake.
The town ©l Catsamiciola, near
Naples, was almost entirely destroy-
ed by an earthquake on the night ot
the 28th. The neighboring town if
Torio and Loccaomeno were greatly
damaged. The latest estimate
place* the number of deaths at be-
tween 4000 and 5000.
Three miraculous cures are said
to have occurred on the pilgrimage
of the Ottowa people to the shrine
of Stanne de Beaupre. One was of
a girl named Lavania Darion, who
lost the entire use of her legs sev-
eral years ago by an accident. The
other cures are those of two children
six years old, who have never been
able to walk. Father Labelle sub-
stantiates these.
In another column we have a few
words of criticism on the editor of
the Whifbsboro News for keying this
is a Christian government. Since
writing' it It has occurred to us that
the government he had in his mind
might possibly be that of the Metho-
dist Church, as we are informed fee
is a Methodist. If this supposition
is correct we have nothing to say,
as that church organisation is mon-
archal in foim and spirit. John Wes-
ley, its founder, was an uncompro-
mising monarchist, and denounced
the rebels of *9$ as enemies of both
God and man for resitting the tyran-
One of our moat interesting ex-
changes is the Independent Pulpit,
a large and handsome monthly pub-
lished at Waco, Texas, and edited
by Rev. James D. Shaw. Mr. Shaw
it one of the many conscientious
preachers Who of late have faced
the terrors of church discipline, and
boldly announced their honest opin-
ions as to the plenary inspiration of
the scriptures, and other dogmas of
.the orthodox Christian organizations.
For many years Mr. Shaw, as is
well known to many of our readers
no doubt, was an influential preach-
er in the Southern Methodist Epis-
copal Church, associate editor of the
Christian Advocate, and if we are
uot mistaken bad been raised to the
sublime degree ot bishop. Heis
now what we might call a liberal
Christian—that is he discards the
old idea of the. foil of man, the di-
vinity of Jesus, and the hell of fire
and brimstone. He gets up an ex-
cellent magazine, defends his posi-
tion with energy, and everything he
writes bears the mark of conscien-
tious regard for truth. If we can
spare the space we intend at an
early day to reptdrffoh a series of in-
structive articles from his pen, pub-
lished in his magazine, entitled,
I “The Bible—What is It?” /
The State School Fund.
This year the public schools will
receive $438 per capita from the
state. According to the scholastic
census of this oily, wo have 1306
children within the scholastic age.
this will give us from the.state near-
ly $1,900 more than last yesr. . Two
extra teachers have been engaged
tor the coming season, which in-
creases the cost of maintaining the
schools $800. The remaining $i,
100 excess from the state can be
employed to good purpose. A
school building is needed for the col-
ored school, which would save $180
a year now paid as rent. An assis-
tant teacher is also required in this
school. The time is not for distant
when ward schools will have to be
provided, and'lots should be pur-
chased at once to secure central loca-
tions, infact, a primary school is
n*w needed east of the railroad,
which is settling up rapidly.
If the council do not feel able to
build school houses ttt present they
should no longer delay purchasing
suitable lots. Hackthis been done
several years ago, Several hundred
dollars would have been saved; and
prices are getting higher every
day.
> Since the above was written there
lias been a meeting of the council,
and, on motion ot Mr. Wilde, steps
taken to purchase two lota for ward
schools, in the drat and fourth
wards.
A dispatch dated Concord, N* H.,
Aug. ad, announces that the forty-
second ballot resulted in the elec-
tion of Austin Tv Pike, aa United
States senator for aix years from
March 4, i8S3. The result ot the
ballot was greeted with tumultuous
applause. Pike is sixty-three years
old, a lawyer in active practice, and
has been a representative in con-
gress, and is considered one of the
ablest Republicans in the state.
Charlie Ford, one ot the notorious
Ford brothers, and slayer of Jessie
James, was arrested in Kansas City
on the 3d inat. on an old endictment
for the Blue cut train robbery. It is
generally believed that the state can
bring strong proof against the pris-
oner in the testimony df Dick Lid-
dell, a member of the gang, and ex-
press messenger Fox, who was dis-
abled during the attack upon the
train.
James Carey, the informer and
traitor, supposed to have, planned
the murder oi Cavendish and Burke,
at Dublin, was shot by ' an avenger
named O’Donnell, on a British ship
en route to South Africa. O'Don-
nell will be taken back to England,
and no doubt hanged. The murder
was committed in the
Carey’s wife.

B. C. Murray :
Dear Friend—On ay arrival in
this grand city I found that my fet-
ters in your excellent paper bad pre-
ceeded me, and changed my mint
in regard to continuing my promise
to you. As I found no mail matter
from you at Palmyra, I naturally
supposed that you did not want to
b* bothered with my foolishness, so
I neglected my promise, and have
not kept as good a memorandum as
I otherwise would, and will write
the best I can from memory. I be-
lieve my last was dated ftom Eureka
Springs.
The country from Eureka Springs
for about twenty miles is very bro-
d ptsrt as . wops. Ph*
there to Plymouth the land is quite
good, and crops also. From thence
to Springfield land and crops fine,
especially the wheat. Springfield
haa about 8,000 population, two
street railways, and is not unlike
Denison in some respects; especial-
ly in the way ot holding church fes-
tivals. I am told that every time a
large building is completed or made
vacant by any cause whatever, they
find out that the Lord is in great
need, and something must be done,
hence a large- festival was going on
while I was there, and I was told a
large sum of money was raised for
bis benefit. I like this city very
much. I think it would be a pleas-
ant place to live; plenty of fruit* of
almost every variety.
Couotry from here towards Saint
-<ouis is fair, and the wheat crop is
quite good. For some distance then
both land and crops are quite poor,
while running through the iron re-
gion. As you near St. Louis the
crops are very fine. I remained in
ill. Louis several days. It is grow'
ing steadily and firmly.
The country from here to Palmy
ry—distance about tjo miles, is
somewhat broken, but the crops are
alt fine; some of them are injured
by overflow. The wheat was ail
harvested by the 8th ot July, and
found to be of fine quality.
The weather here up to that time
was quite cool; with the exception
of two days the therpioroeter touch-
ed from 96° to 1000 for two or
three hours each day. Should it
rethain seasonable,^he other crops
will be reasonably fair, as most of
them are now well matured. This
>lace was iaid out in about 1830,
and now numbers about 3,000 in-
habitants. Of course this does not
speak very wall for its thrift sad en-
terprise, but right hare let me say
that the inhabitants in and around
this little town live ' as well as those
of any other portion of God’s crea-
tion that it has ever been my orivi-
ege to visit.
They bad a big blow-out here on
the glorious fourth. Flaming pos-
ters were to be seen at all cross-
roads and other prominent places
or days and weeks beforehand, and
noted speakers from abroad invited
and expected, but when the time
arrived none of them put in an ap-
pearance. The procession was sim-
ply immense and gorgeous, consist-
ing of a brass band, about thirty I.
O. O. F’t, the Mackerel Brigade,
numbering about nineteen officers
and privates, alt told, two vehicles
and a very few gutter snipes. The
procession would no doubt have
been greater had it not been for the
harvesting. They formed in line
and marched towards their fair
I [rounds, where n indoubt they en-
oyed themselves fared very
sumptuously. Quite a number of
the old salts were detailed to remain
at borne and take theirs in the shade
one-of whom I was
you bet they discharged their duty
well.
This city has for some time been
stirred up over the hog in or hog out
law, which is about the same aa
your town cow law. This grave
question is now settled by the porker

KANSAS CITY.
Here T met my old friend James
Dickson, who must, according to
his statements, be the oldest man,
perhaps in the world. He and sev-
eral others were candidates for the
legislature, and each one was laying
his claims before the dear people,
and telling them why they should
rote for him. The most prominent
one thought that inasmuch as he had
been living in the county so long he
ought of course to be elected. My
friend Dixon .followed him in a ver
impressive speech, sad said if
length of times man had lived in the
country had anything to do with the
election that he himself would cer-
tainly be the choice of the people,
as he could not recollect how long
he bad been there, but he knew well
that the Mississippi river was so
small that he could easily span it
with one hand. Those candidates
never referred to the length of time
they bad lived in that community
again. They willed.
This city has about 80,000 inhabi-
tants and several smalt cities just
outside of its corporation limits,'
which will run it up to 100,000. It
is not half so hilly as it is represent-
ed and these little bills are nothing
but dirt, bqgce easily removed. I
tear they have not made the grade
low enough; I do not believe the
hills will fill up the hottowa. This
is quite a nice City, and a great deal Missouri is being rapidly engaged
of business is done here. The dis-
tance from here to Denver is 639
miles. We travel along the bank of
the Kaw or Kansas river about 300
miles or more. I never saw wheat c
or oat shocks stand closer than they loons are patroniz
being shut up in bis sty, which was
settled by the circulation of a peti-
tion among the inhabitants. This
was very unexpected by many and
could not be solved by any one ex-
cept a wag who said there were
many who wore the blue ribbon and
put on a long face on Sunday who
did not at all times roost at bosh*'or
high enough to be undisturbed by
lis Highness, the hog. This solu-
tion seemed to be satisfactory, and I
have beard nothing more of it.
We had quite a severe storm, (or
might better say several,) hdre in
the last few days, and some damage
1 rom winds and lightning. - One man
says he was eating a squirrel head,
and the lightning knocked it out of
bis*hands and mouth, and he could
never find it. He is a truthful man,
but I cannot vouch for him. Anoth-
er man was struck on the right side
near the shoulder. It burned and
tore his clothing, and actually tore
the sole of hia shoe off, and did not
kill him. He is now about well.
Tbia can be substantiated. I could
have seen the case had I so desired.
For the truth o' it call on T. V.
Rogers, Palmyra, Missouri, and
many others. I will relate one more
incident that occurred here: A ne-
gro, who has served his time in the
penitentiary and is about ss well
sexton at the Methodist church. The
minister saw the storm coming, and
very wisely dismissed the congrega-
tion and left this negro sexton to
take care of the church. It waa eve-
ning service. Just as tbs negro hat
put out the lights and closed the
doors the bell and belfry fell. Tb«
negro made about three jumps and
fell upon his knees, saying, *‘Oh,
Lord, O, Loru. I will never stea
anything more, and I will 'return
what I have stolen j what more caa
I do, good Lord, to be saved? Have
mercy upon me J”
Palmyra to Kansas City—about
200 miles—the country is tolerably
good and crops moderate up to
about two or three hours ride of
Kansas City. From there on to the

tier country or finer crops were ever

City was reached about 5 o’clock p.

an item will help form our actions,)
we took up quarters at the Duncan
House, because of friendly recollec-
tions of one who bore the name in

also fine. If they have rain enough
l can’t see bow they can ever gather

Here the fend begins to get poor,
and I think ittere is but little raised
after you get to Ellis, which is
about 375 miles from Kansas city.
rrom here to Denver there is noth-
ing raised only by irregation, and
very little in this way—a small gar-
den occasionally. Wherever you
see any stock it looks well, but how
manages to live is more than I
can fell you. Water is not so scarce
as I expected, though. I think there
is more this season than-usual. Par-
ties along the road say that rains are
becoming more numerous every
year, and I believe they think qyen-
tually they will not have to irregate
.much. The fend looks very poor to
me; how it can produce even with
irrigation, is strange to dire, as it is
it is nothing but coarse sand. Yet I
see where it is irrigated they
raise heavy crops of grain and grass.
I soon found our old townsman,
amos Leonard, who has treated me
exceedingly kind. He seems to be
quite h{psy, and I hope is doing well.
Joseph Koehler, Ed .Norris and
Mr. Henry are here. Also besides,
found many others from different

' Editor Gazetteer :
There are about 1,000 visitors
here at the present time. The town
is surrounded by mountains. The
most coospicnous one on the east is
lookout mountain. It is being im-
>roved and is walled in at the brow
with stone. The top is cleared up,
and the native trees left tor shade.
A few days ago some wicked per-
son without the fear of the Lord be-
fore hia eyes, set fire to and consum-
ed the lock-up of this city.
Our mayor being determined to
have the few respected, administered
the few of a loaded quirt over the
head id a colored lady, known as
Aunt Martha Mays, but Aunt Mar-
tha not comprehending the nature of
the case, closed in with His Honor,
and the “last state of that man waa
