wood's opera house GREAT DISTURBANCE A BIG ROW. The I'liflit Orer The of the House. Efforts are being made to submit to the people of St. Louis under what is known as the Wood local option law, the question as to whether whisky shall longor be old in' that city. It is evidently the hardest jnb the prohibitionist have yet tackled, not excepting tho State of Texas.

ed off the tree behind which bo was sheltered. Finding a chance to escape Cole hurried away on foot, his horse having run off during the fight, and when be had gone a short distance a man cume out of the tent and approached Dalton, who was badly wounded, and, heedless of his piteous appeals for life, fired two bullets into his bead, causing instant death. Smith died from his wound at II o'clock this afternoon. Dixon is now jn the United States jail hospital and Mrs Dixon is dead. Lowery, the man who finished up Dulton, is still at lurge but will propably he captured, for all the maishal's force are in pursuit and are scouring the country for him and every effort will be made to catch him, for it is becoming too hot for deputy marshals in the Indian The Militia and the Washington County Home Guards have been called out by the Judge to keep the Customers from blocking up the Sidewalks in front of the AUCTION STORE But even this wont stop them.

E. MARRSi Editor The loss to Arkansas by fin within the past few weeks will run up into the millions. "It is well ior brclhrn to dwell togetherin unity." Weareepeak-ingtoCols Peel, Breckinridge, al. Henry Overstolz, rx-mayor o' 8t. Louis and president of the lat Fifth National Hank of that city, died Tuesday morning.

We were a little previous in announcing the settlement of the Cherokee trouble and the scntinr. of Mayes last week. That Ft Smith paper fooled us. The mayor and city council oJ Omaha Neb, have been pent to jail by Judge Brewer of the United States court for disobeying an injunction of that court. A petition was circulated in Fayetteville this week asking congress to prohibit sale ol whisky in the District of Columbia.

The petition was largely signed. The Ft. Smith Times is devoting much space to the oQicial record of the republican mayor of that city. TheTimes is a stalwart organ and strikes from the shoulder. St.

Louis is making active efforts to secure the convention that will nominate the successor to Grover Cleveland. We refer, of course, to the democratic convention. President Cleveland is to take lessons in horseback riding which an exchange thinks unnecessary as he can walk ahead of any republican who may be pitted against him. A turn-pike to the National Cemetery would be mighty nice and the goverment lias money that it would like to devote to that purpose. We can get it for the asking.

BTDQtXS. Arkansas Members Interested. Washington, D. Nov. 26.

The sensation at the capitol to-day is a letter written by Representative Breckenridge of Arkansas to Mr. Donelson, candidate for doorkeeper of the next house. This letter contains charges which Breckenridge intends to make in the democratic caucus, provided Donelson is a candidate. Ho charges Donelson with inefficiency during his doorkeeporship of the last congress, and says that his private conduct renders him unfit to hold a place of public trust. He speaks of him as a gambler, and charges him with corruption of hid office.

He itcmizos a number of charges, one of which is that Donelson appointed a man as an employe of the house and then sent him to Tennessee to attend hih private business there and that during this time he was drawing a salary from the eovernment. He charges that money has been misappropriated in the caso of horses here and that Donelson has failed to pay over the proceeds of waste paper and books in tho capitol He charges that Donelson being privately indebted to Mr. Silcottof the sergeant-at-arms' office of the house gave Silcott's boy a position as a payment of the debt, and makes a number of other charges of a similar nature. Mr. Uonelsou told your correspondent that he is preparing an answer to the letter of Mr.

Breckenridge, and that Representative Taulbe of Kentucky and others of his Men da are now engaged upon it. Representative Peel of Arkansas states that here lies the secret of Breckenridge's opposition' and that it arises from a trouble in the Arkansas delegation, which has beeu going on for some time. At the beginning of Forty-eighth congress, when Jim Winter, smith was doorkeeper, the Arkansas delegation voted as a unit in the caucus for tho house officers. Among the employes of the house nllotted by Wintersmith to Arkan-bus was a friend of Peel, a newspaper man named Bigger, who received a position as messenger during one of the recesses. Bigger became connected with an Arkansas newspaper, in which was published a statement that Senator Berry and Representative Rogers were trying to run Arkansas uolitics.

This made Rogers angry at Bigger, and he tried to force Donelson to remove him. Peel supported Bigger, and Donelson would not consent to the removal until the chargo was made by Breckenrige that Peel had three appointees in the house. Donelson caused Bigger's removal, lie did not, however, give tho place to the man whom Breckenridge supposed, and this, says Representative Peel, is at the root of Breckenridge's opposition. The different members of the Arkansas delegation are at swords' points over the matter, and what will be the influence of the opposing fuo-lions remains to be seen. Post Dispatoh.

OlTLArTS vs. omt Eits. Three Men sua a Woman Kilted Hear Fort Smith, Foht Smith, Nov. 27 Another bloody tragedy occur 1 in tho Indian territory to-day in which a woman and two men were killed and another brave deputy marshal was murdered while doing his duty. Deputy Marshal Frank Dalton and R.

Cole crossed the river into the Cherokee Nation at 8 o'clock this morning to arrest horse-thiiif and whiskey peddler named Smith, whom they were told was at a tent on tho Alexander place, about a mile and a half from here, Arriving at the tent, Colo rode up on one side and Dalton on the other. Seeing a man at the door of the tent, Dalton inquired for Smith, who lushed out, pistol in hand. DalUiti said; "Don't shoot! I want no trouble." Hut Smith fired, shooting him in the left breast, in dieting a mortal wound. Dalton said: ''I am killed," and fell from his horse with tho hummer of Ilia pistol half cocked, L'olo shot tin i Hi us ho turned to re rnter tho nt. Then a woman ran out with a child in her arms and a man mimed Dixon followed hrr.

Cole, who had dismounted, step-nl backward, but Ins spurrntcli-ing in a tent cord, he ipped and Vll. Dixon then fired nt linn be. fire lie could rise, putting a bull through his ovnreo.it, and ns be roue shot him through the right breast. Colo tried to ilioot liiui, but tho Wnii.nll eiiliijit bin Winchester. Quickly jeikiug loose, however, lie fired, sliimtTi'ig'ftTrJTi In tho shoulder.

He then hacked ton trea and a gulur fight followed, hi which tho wife of Dlxnn wan seoluVntly kill ed and two bullets were put through Colo's coat and.tho hark was peel. The Cherokee Indians of North Carolina, numbering about 1800, will pull up stakes, it is said, and move to the Territory in the spring. It be that they have heard of the gore that runs like water in ihe Territory which has created a desire on their part to meet a few deputy marshals. Tub republican claim that while the democrats elected a ma-iority of the legiidature inVa, tho republicans had a majority of tho i.otal vote, is not borne by the returns. Tho democratic majority vas and in addition to this he democrats had no tickets out mi several republican counties.

The old dominion will stand up on ihe liht side next year. Republican papers are to the appointment of Lamar Fiipreme judfie because he espoused tho cause of his home on lontier occasion. It is simply an flbit to make capital for the con- i st r.fxl year. 1 President Clove-': r.d bus decided to appoint Lim, othing hunina is more certain l.i.n that the republican senate ill have an opportunity to reject him if they will. The Texarkruia Independent has eeived an intimation that Judge Maueiield will not only be a candidate 'for chief justice next year, hut a vere strong one.

The independent generally "sits handy" to mi intimation when it desiresjono. iUit, in so far as the matter is con-cerned to which this relates, there is no reason why Judge Mansfield rhould not run for chief justice if lie so desires. Aik Press. Just before the presidential elec-t on in '84, Baruum, the is a rabid Republican, stated that ho owned fifty bouses at Bridgeport, which lie would i-ell for half their value in case Cleveland was iheted that being in estimate of the damage to ropcrty likely to follow a democratic victory. Now the old son gun has written a letter to I i ii Lament, saying: "You tell Cleveland I've gone up on the price of those houses 50 per cent." --L.

Democrat. 0. Monday night the city coun cil appointed a committe to draft a memorial to congress, to be pre mod at the nextmeeting, tho object being to secure an appropriation from the government to build a turn-pike from the city to tho n.itionnl cemetery. It was stated that Congressman Peel and Senator Lorry folt that there would be no tumble in securing a sufficient appropriation if the proper steps are ti ken by our citizens. The chances will justify an earnest effort ih this direction.

It bus been sug-g'-Modhy Col Peel, that in addition to a formal memorial by the city council, a citizens meeting 'ho to take action in the matter aiid that the indorsinient of Capt in O'Brien be secured As concuss meets noxt Monday, tho sooner this matter is attended to, tl better will be the chances of success. Fifteen or twonty dollars paid out for labor and ntcrial here is ceriaiuly worth the asking. That it can be obtain-e! from this congress, wo have no doubt. The council will di it part and wo believe Capt O'Brien will act cheerfully in the matter. Let a pubtio meeting of cluzcns be railed at an early day.

In the case of Bragg, collector, I vs. Tufts, appeal from Ouachita, tl supreme court of the state jMstcrday reuderod an opinion of i considerable interest, Mr. Tufis tnidered the collector in payment of tuxes treasury warrants issued U'ider authority of tho body known as the "secession convention" of 1.

They were refused, and the curcuit court of Ouachita declared the Plato liable, and that they nut be received in taxes. appeal was tnkeii, mid the supremo iv art decided that the state is mt liable, they not being a Will obligation against the stato. The uirt says, however, that it must 4 be inferred that the decision is tlnHiioiLor.il obligation rests on tlo legislature to provide for them. It deals only with the legal staat oi the wttrunU. Tho opinion vhh iioiivered by Mr Justice Smith, nnd is quite li nthy, containing iluut flvo thousand words.

Ark Gazette Arkansas industrial University, A Practical Institution. A correspondent of the Ft. Smith Journal was here last week and wrote to his paper touching upon several topics among which were our beautiful streets and side-walks yet to he made and the State Uni ersity.

Of the practical work of this institution he said: The title of the school, "Arkansas Industrial University" shows definitely the aim of tho school, which is to give every student a practical education one that may be used by liiiu in the ordinary walks of life, and which will fit him for the steru realties that await the years after college. To this end the basement has been fitted up with a complete set of tools for working in wood andiion, and at the head of this department is found Professor J. W. Mayo, who, although a young man, has thoroughly demonstrated his ability to instruct in all such work. The work is all practical, and is donu with a view to use, nothing being made simply for showing how, but always giving an incentive of definite purpose.

As an instance? at the time of the visit, the voung men were engaged in making iron bedsteads to be used in the new drmitory in process instruction, while those in tho wood department were engaged upon the furniture of thesame Theiuould-ing nnd casting rooms are also to be found upon this floor, and here the young men were engaged in tho various employments those arts require. Upon the floors above are to found the preparatory and collegiate departments with class rooms, chapel and all the usual college appointments. Everything shows careful management and it needs but a glimpse at the students to convince tint the school is filling the place set apart for it in the polity of the state. In the rear of the ninin building is the new domitory for the gentlemen, which is nearly under roof una imis lair to be a most valuable addition to the University. Still back of this is a farm where the best methods of agriculture are taught, anil where the foundations of a new Aikansas are being surely laid.

With such a school within its borders there is no excuse for fending the young people of tho ttate abroad to secure their educa tions, and it is to bo hoped that the time is not far distant when this institution will receive from the people of Arkansas the vuusiucraiiun it aeeerves. The Koudluot Trial. Ft. Smith, Nov. 28.

Fifteen witnesses for the prosecution in the Boudinot case arrived this evening, among them the wife of H. R. Stone, the man killed by Boudinot, and examination ia the case will be commenced before Commissioner Wheeler to-morrow. It appears that in addition to the wife left by Stone ut Tahlequah there is another Mrs. H.
