The Colorado Citizen published
a special edition last week, which
is very creditably gotten up. It
embraced Columbus, Weimar and

tion of the leading business linns
of those places. The Journal

their behalf may be properly ap-

To the honor of Joseph D. Mayers it can
b« said, he has done more for the negro race
than any Congressman from the Mouth. Five
young men through his direct influence,
have been drawing salaries from the govern-
ment at Washington pursuing professional
course in Howard University. These young
men could not remain at Washington and
graduate, did they not have these appoint-
ments. Austin has two of her sable sons
thrro in the persons of Emanuel Madison
and William Hamilton, who will, after com-
pleting their courses, return to their people
and holp uplilt them. Does not Major
Mayers merit the friendship and support of
the race for recognizing its young men by
giving them a chance to get up in the world
and be a blessing to it.
Since the passage of the new
tariff law aud the adjournment of
congress, business of all kinds be-
gins to show increased activity.
The show of increase is not as
great, however, as it would have
been had not the industries of the
country been, chielly, under the
control of republican owners. It
is evident that this class will do
all they can to prolong stagnation
of business until after the eloci ion,
with the view of influencing vot-
ers to vote the republican ticket.
The republicans are exceedingly
anxious to control the next house
of representatives, and they will
resort to oil kinds of dodges to ac-
complish their purpose. The prob-
abilities are that, with the admiss-
ion of Senators from the new sta-
tes, they will have a majority in
the Senate, and should they cap-
ture the house, the democratic
president would he the only ob-
stacle interposing to prevent the
enactment of the most radical
measures. IIow important there-
fore, it is for democrats to stand
solidly by their nominees for con-
gress.
OF INTEREST TO WOOL MEN.
Wool Gradually Going up Under the
The New Tariff Law.
The war between China aud Ja-
pan is progressing and much ac
tivity is being displayed ou both
sides. The Japanese soldiers ap-
pear to be superior to the Chinese
as fighters. The latter seem to
be destitute of commanders pos-
sessing military genius. In every
fight so far they have been de-
feated with severe losses, while
their foes escaped comparatively
unscathed. The naval engage-
ments which have occurred have
nearly invariably resulted in vic-
tories for the Japs. If matters
continue going as they have lately
China will have to sue for peace.
It ii difficult, however, to foretell
what will be the result.

Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 9.
The good effects of the new tariff
bill on the wool market are Hom-
ing more rapidly than even its
most hearty supporters had dared
to wish. The Wheeling Register,
through its special correspondent
in Eastern Ohio, West Virginia,
and Western Pennsylvania, has
made inquiry concerning prices
and demands, and the result has
beeu far more satisfactory to the
friends of the free wool measure.
The correspondent of Woods-
fleld, O., the center of a large
wool-raising country, represented
in Congross by A. J. Pearson,
whoso place was jeopardized by
his vote for free wool, reports
that Alexander Hamilton sold ten
thousand pounds of wool within a
week at 20 cents, and was offered
as much for the remaiuder of his
clip. This he, refused, believing lie
can do better before the first of
the year. Glint & Pfalzgraff, also
of Monroe county, have sold their
wool within a week at 23 cents, it
being a less desirable clip than
that of Harmon. Miller & Go., of
Beallsville, O., are offering 20 and
21 cents but are getting no wool.
Tht wool men are set against any-
thing short of 23 cents. Tlte re-

A UcIkii or Terror In the Chlt-kantt w Nation
Late accounts from the Chickasaw
nation are to the effect that Chief Blue,
the leader of Chickasaw negro Indians,
is in rebellion. The insurrectionists
have gone on a marauding tour and
are terrorizing the Indian citizens, and
especially the squaw men. Several
days ago the baud, headed by King
Blue and his negroes, swept down on
the farm of Geo. H. Truaz, postmaster
at Stonewall. At midday Truaz, a
white man, and his squaw were led
from the house and bound with ropes
and held prisoners. King Blue and
his baud then destroyed everything in
the house and rode off. Neighbors
fouud Truaz and his wife and released
them. Several others have been simi-
larly treated and part of the Chicka-
saw nation ia in a state of terror.
Destructive Cyclone.
A terrific und disaaterous cyclone via-
fted Northern Iowa recently, five were

burg, and in the vicinities of Algona,
Cylinder, Whitemore and Mason City,
there were, as near as could be ascer-
tained, about twenty-five killed and
thirty or more wounded. The town of
Cylinder was literally wiped off the
face of the earth, and an immense
amount of property in the surrounding
county destroyed.
'Ilia Woman Nuved Kentucky.
Col. Bain Anderson of Kentucky, who
recently stopped iu Chicago ou his way
to New York, waa asked what effect
the defeat of Breckenridge would have
in his state. •
The old colonel looked around, found
a cuspidor, spat in it, and replied
dare-say it will teach an important les-
son, that even in Kentucky it is dan-
gerous to get caught.”
“ Did you oppose the colonel ?”
“ Well, I did not until a few weeks
ago. Up to that time 1 waa strongly
iu favor of him.”
“ And some new proof changed your
mind, eh?”
“ Well, I can’t say it was a proof. I
will say that It was stranger than a
proof. It was a woman. You see I am
a widower, without children, without
moral responsibilities of any sort, and
I didn't see why Bill shouldn’t go to
congress about as long as he wanted
fo. But gad, sah, a woman who lived
near Paris changed my mind. For a
long time I’ve been after her to marry
me, but Ehe s been putting me off. A
few weeks ago I met her and she told
me that if I would work against the
colonel she would marry me as soon as
the election was over. I then took off
my coat and fit Billy about as hard as
ever a man fo’t. Bjr gad, sah, it was
the women of my state who killed the
colonel.”
Hlnklng; of I.itnrt In Kansas.
Land is caving in toward the center
of the earth in the vicinity of Junction
aud Harvey, Butler and Marion coun-
ties, Kansas. Great excitement pre
vails among the people and many of
them arc getting away. The disasters
are of most unaccountable origin.
There was no shock felt when the
earth caved in, nor did it bear any re-
seblance to an earthquake. Near
Whitewater, on the farm of Thos. Es-
sington, an area 40 by 90 feet sunk 28
feet, and when a man was let down
into the hole his weight alone sank it
nearly three feet more. This occurred
two days ago, and about the same mo-
ment an area of 75 square feet sank at
Plum Grove to a depth of 35 feet. This
was on the farm of Sid Jones, the slid
ing carrying a threshing muchine and
separator with it. Water poured into
the latter hole from underground
streams until it was almost filled to the
top, but the hole at Whitewater is yet
dry, though it Is supposed that the
caved-in earth is resting upon a vas
body of water. Both places are some
seven or eight miles apart. At Anne-
lyn, some miles from Whitewater,
there were several small cave-ins of
from 0 to 10 feet in depth. The theo-
ries are various, but none of them so
far are scientific. Not long since a man
was digging a well in the vicinity of
Plutn Grove, and when he reached a
depth of 2tJ feet the drill shot down
into an apparent vacuum and could not
be recovered. All the cave-ins, great
and small, extend in a crooked stream-
like manner a distauce of about twen-
ty-four miles.

By (he census of 1880 the population
