OTflE BLACK HILLS WAR.

On the 17th of June Gen. Crook withhis force had an engagement with theSioux Indians in the Big Horn country,which lasted four hours and resulted inthe loss to our side of 10 killed and 18

wounded. The damage to the Indianscould not be fully ascertained as theycarred off their dead and wounded.But four dead Indian warriors werenoticed on the ground. These Siouxwarriors arc all mounted and well arm-

ed with fire-arm- s. They seemedpo be very numerous and were veryprodlga) with thejr ammunition. Gen.prpoJ? bad a horse shot from underhim.

The fallowing is a list of the casual-ties sustained by General Crook'slorce:

Killed: Sergeants Marshall andNewkfrken; privates: Rac, Allen.Flyron. Bennett, Potts. Conner?. Mit-chell and an allied Snake scout 10

Wonnded: Capt. II. Card; CorporalCartz; Sergeants Enoch, Cook, Ed-wards Snow, Taylor and O'Donriel;privates Broderson, Feathersby, Sjrilth,Stewart, O'Brien, Tassy Roska, Sfcluer,and three allied Snake Bcputs 18

TfP fight pecurred fifty miles frpmthe wagon and pack trains, and owingto a want of rations and that the wound-ed might be cared for, it was necessaryto return.

The officer? and soldiers nil displayedmarked, gallantry, the nature of pieground making infantry advantageous.

Gen. Crook has ordered five compan-

ies to join him at once, the cavalrymeantime continuing operation on theplain apd hills. Should no definite in-

formation pf the villages be .obtained,there is one month's supply of rationsin camp.

The Kearney Press reports the resultpf the first battle between Gen. Crookapd Sitting Bull as follows. Indianskilled, 100; soldieis. 10 killed and20 wounded. Thirteen hundred cayal-'f- y

Harvest Home.

Grange Pic A'ic at J&ounft

Last Saturday the various granges

and citizens generally of Holt county,met at Groesbeck's Grove adjoiningMound City, and notwithstanding

the harvest season and the warmweather, a crowd of between 1200 and1500 persons were in attendance.

A grand procession was formed headed by the Oregon Cornet Band andwagon, followed by the different granges of the county, attired in their regalia and banners flj-in- Ross Groveand Willow Granges had each a verylarge banner, with appropriate inscrip-

tions and agricultural implements.Lincolu, Union and Lake (East Rulo)Granges, had each a beautiful bannerprinted in red, white and blue, withappropriate mottoes on both slues.

the procession was marsahallcd byN. B. Browning, V. L. Graham, J. H

Williams and 7 assistants. We had no

means of counting the number of wag

ons. buggies and riders in the procession to and from the ground, but it look-

ed imposing and must have been sever-

al miles lu length.After arriving on the ground, the ex-

ercises were opened at the stand byElder Wm. A. Gardner, addressing theThrone of Grace. Whereupon CountyMaster Schlotzhauer, introduced to theaudience farmer T. It. Allen, of St.Louis eountv. Master ot the StateGrange, who en(icavoreiLJo--rnMtSB- 3

the andience but was

ntcrrnpteU by a dance winchwas going on a short distance from thespeaker's stand, and which, by theyells of the dancing-maste- r to "swingyour partner." and the noise of the.string band orchestra, attracted a largepart of the crowd. Mr. Allen com-

plained bitterly of the arrangement bywhich this iutcrrnption was permitted.He said he had spoken in 103 countiesin the State, and this was the first In

stance that he was treated in tbU manner. The committee who gave thopermit tor the erection of the dancingplatform, did not take the precautionto prescribe the. distance and time,hence the interruption to the speakerand the audience.

Being close to the stand we got thedrift and run of Mr. Allen's entire discourse. He dwelt, in an able and in-

teresting manner npon the rise, progress and beneficial influence of the order, and "proved conclusively that itwas stronger now than it had everbeen, its growth being solid and sub-

stantial, and denounced in becomingterms tho efforts made by interestedparties to thwart its great mission, theamelioration of the laboring agricul-

turist. Among other objects that ithad accomplished was'tho passage ofthe bill in Congress to open tho monthof the Mississippi, by Capt. Eads withhis Jetties, and a general, return tomorc.economic habits by the people,encouraging home industry and building np the country. It was an addressappreciated by those who managed tohear It and placed the order in a newlight In the minds of manywbo hadnot given the subject the thought andconsideration to which it is entitled.

At the conclusion of the address allwere invited to partake of a sumptuous basket dinner, spread upon snowycloths stretched on tho green sward,prepared by the ladies, who knewwhat hungry humanity needs, and afiner display of the good things of-thi-s

life has ucver been seen in this section,each vieing with the other in hospi-

tality and among them none exceededour friends. J. W. Crow, Pol BrowningBennett King, and a number of otherswhose names wo have unfortunatelyforgotten, and who saw to it thatnone were overlooked, and that all re-

ceived a goodly portion of the feast.Dinner over the Editor of tho Senti

nel was called on for a "short speech."Ho complimented the Patrons of Hus-

bandry upon the high aim ot the order.to elevate in the scale of humanity theagricultural classes, as Indicated bythe remarks of Mr. Allen. He reviewed Mr. Allen's address approvingly,except in tho instance where he reflect-

ed severely upon the press of the coun-

try as being hostilo to the grangemovement. These remarks' of Mr.Allen, said the Editor, were inapplica-

ble and unmerited as regards our ownpress, for the Sentinel, although nota grange paper, had done a good dealto help the order in Holt county.

He also adverted to Mr. Allen's ref-erence to the great work of openingtho mouth of the Mississippi river, andgloried in .that enterprise, notwith-

standing It would cost the governmenta gieat deal ot money. But, he in-

quired whether, (in view" of thedamage done to the farms, all

along the line of the Missouri rivor,from Sioux City to its mouth, by whichthousands of acres of very valuableland went into the stream annually,impoverishing hundreds of farmers),whether it would not bo well to askCongress to Institute a system of

said river, and thus save mil-

lions to tho people and hundreds, ofthousands bl acres ? The subject, saidthe speaker, was one that may well oc-

cupy the attention of the people, moreespecially of those who favor restoringthe Missouri rjver as a public high-

way, for transporting to the marketsof the world the surplus produce of theMissouri valley, and at rates that fann-

ers pan afford to pay.Take it as a whole, the Grangers' pic

cess, and when the crowd dispersed, alively shower of rain rather expedlctedtho participants on their homewardmarch. As is customary upon such

Card From Mr, Hogue.

Cba.10, Mo., June 26, 1876.

Editor Sentinel: In yonr Issueof June 16th appeared a communication from J. L. Johnston, in which, heattempts to cast aspersion upon theprivate characters of Dr. S. S. Baconand myself.

He says that "many persons Deneve"

we have been engaged in sending

names to the grand jury, and doing

our utmost to get certain parties in-

dicted "for the purpose of venting ourmalice," etc. But the very fact

that this individual treacherously stabs

at us from behind "many persons."demonstrates that cither hl3 lips areafraid to utter the promptings of hisheart, or that be well knows there isno truth in his. story.

As to my ever being "employed" as

Johnstun sajs, I will say: that for thepast four years I have beeu serving in

the capacity of magistrate in this place,

and during that time have endeavoredto discharge my duty as such, conscientiously and without prejudice. learor favor. I have reported violationsof law to tho grand Jury, and am satisfied that through my instrumentalityseveral parties have been lnuicteu, anuamong them J. L. Johnston, hence hissoreness.

But it was not only my sworn dutyas an officer of 'the law, but it Is theduty ot every g citizen ofthe land, when thj-- become possesseuQfjUwTrteOge of violations of law, toreport them to the proper authority.Had this been done, I am satisfied thatthere are men now in Craig, assuminga m-ea- t amount of imuortance. whoowould have been in the penitentiary- -

If Dr. Bacon has ever busied himselfin the manner indicated by Johnstnn,I do not know anything about It, butwill sav this, that there Is not anotherman In the county who strives to mindhis own business moro rigidly than Dr.S. S. Bacon. He is a man of tho strictest integrity, and his reputation assuch is too well established in tinscommunity, to be in the least injuredby the calumny of sue men as J. it,

Johnstun. As to myself,-Johnstn- isentirely welcome to his opinion.cheerfully submit mycase to those whoknow me.

I am Eorry to say that-m- six yearsacquaintance with this J. L. Johnstun,docs not confirm me in the opinion thathe possesses all of the attributes thatshould adorn the characters of an honest man and gentleman.

Respectfully, II. S. HOGUE.

Scraps From Bigelow.

Correspondence of the Holt Conntr Sentinel

Dry land Is beginning to appear, theyoung coin Is turning green and theinhabitants look still more cheerful andcontented.

Big-low- " is a misnomer In these wettimes, unless low ground is referred to,

and a "little low" even then would beas applicable as "Big-low.- " Bigelowhas a luture yet unknown, situated asit Is iu the midst of the richest body ofland in Holt county.

Bigelow wants and hereby asksproper consideration of an importantquestion : A public system of drainingthe rich bottom lands of Holt county:The attention of-tb- e County Court orother authorities Is hereby asked. Individual land-owner- s cannot draintheir, laud, therefore this appeal ismade to the authorities, a great increase of revenue from increased valuation would be the result of attentionto this vital question. More than onethousand per cent increase In the net;

ual value of these low lands would re?suit from n proper system of drainage.Wise direction of this matter by theauthorities would soon result in a greatand lasting benefit to all the people ofour prosperous couuty, and would bomoney at interest above computation.The county is abundantly able to takethis matter In hand and make it thegreatest institution of the county ; thatit will be done Is the prayer of yourcorrespondent.

Every town has its social circles andour neighboring town of Forest City isno exception to the general rule. Forsome weeks society In this pretty littlecity has been somewhat agitated overa social event, and last night this eventtook place. It was the marriage of oneot Forest Citv's fairest daughters. MissMarv B. Graves, to Mr. Erall Weber ofMound City, Missouri. The ceremonytook place at the M. E. Church Southat 8 o'clock in the evening, and wasperlormed by Rev. C. I. Vau Deventer,presiding elder 01 tnc district, in amost beautiful and impressive manner.The church was well tilled by the manyiriends of the Iibdov coiiDle. and Itev.John Anderson, the pastor occupied ascat within the altar.

M. .rord and weoDSmith of Forest City, as groomsmen.Miss C. B. Williams, an accomplishedand cultured musician, presided at thoorgan and performed Gallop's GrandWedding March, as the parties enteredand arranged themselves bctore the aitar. Tho brief vows that bound twoyoung and confiding hearts tor betteror worse, were eoon spoiccn. alterwhich a few select fricuds repaired tothe residence of the bride's' parents,where a pleasant reception was given,and congratulations were tendered.

The wedding supper was exceedinglyappropriate and delicate, and whilethere was no attempt at ostentation tnctables were deiiguttully arranged andnrcsentcd a most tempting appearance,ilicy were nonniiiuiiy suppiieu.-nn- u

two elegant bouquets in large Italianmarble vases served as fitting decorations and produced a most pleasing effect. Every one was nappy and cnecr- -

ful, and a half hour was very pleasant-ly spent in discussing the good thingsthat had been provided.

There were a large number pf prcsents. all rich and appropriate, amongwhich onr reporter noticed, an elegantpair of gold bracelets from the groom.a S20 checu irom Mr. and Mrs. ucoWeber; a pair of dainty white, kidsfrom Miss Man' Thompson : a splendidgilt family Bible from .1.

'The brido's drens was" of whito tarla-tan;, with white silk bodice, trimmedwith white Valenciennes laco and loop-

ed behind at the sides with orangeblossoms. It was made with dctni-trai- n,

full puffings and flowers, andwas a most tasty and becoming toilet;five-bott- white kid gloves and whitekid shoes matched It exactly. Herhair was dressed in the most modemstyle, heavy back coil and face frizzes,and a delicate lace hankercblcf andplain gold jewelry completed as beauti-ful a costume as anyone could desire.

The bridesmaids were dressed' inwhile tarlatan, itrimmed with flowers,and-wer- scarcely less fascinating thanthe bride herself.

The groom and groomsmen were ar-rayed lu plain black, as Is usual uponsuch occasions.

The bride is the eldest daughter ofMr. and Mrs. Orvillo Graves of ForestCity. She was a former pupil ot Dr.Martin's school of St. Joe, and is amost intelligent and pleasing younglady. We heartily congratulate Mr.Weber upon having drawn one of the"first prizes" in the lottery of life.

The groom is a prosperous nnd en-

terprising young merchant of MoundCity, Mo., and is most highly spokenof by all who know him. The youngcouple start upon litc's journey "withevery prospect ot a pleasant voyage, inwhich we .earnestly hope theymay not be disappointed, and that atits end they may attain the haven oleverlasting rest.

This .is conceding the result. Wouldit not bo just as well to elect Hayes &

Wheeler without opposition ?

Dan Voorhccs pays his complimentsto Tilden by calling him "a wrecker ofrailroads nnd a political trickster,"rtt tho Tall Sycamore adds, "If he

shai! be nominated the entire vote oftho Northwest will be for the Republi-can nominei:."

Tho report that JIayks intended re-

signing as governor of Ohio is untrue.Tho only way is to get a Radical out ofoffice is to kick him out. Platte CityLandmark.' The Louisville Courier-Journ- saysthat a failure to nominate Tilden willmerely resolve the St. Louis conventionInto a Hayes and Wheeler ratificationmeeting.

It were better for a delegate fromMissouri to the St. Louis Conventionthat a millstone were hanged abouthis heck, and he cast into the sea thanthat he should betray the Democracyof this State by voting for Sam Tildenfor President. In advance we sweareternal political hostility to any onowho may do so, we care not who homay be. Glcmoood (.Mb.) Critiron,(Dem.)

LIVER PILLS,FOR TBS ecu of

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

PAIN in the right side, under the edgeribs, increases on pressure;

sometimes the pain is in the leftside; thepatient is rarely able to lie on the leftside; sometimes the pain is felt underthe shoulder-blad- e, and it frequently ex-

tends to' the top of the shoulder, and issometimes mistaken for a rheumatism inthe arm. The stomach is affected withlossofappetiteandsickness; the bowelsin general are costiye,sometimes alterna-tive with lax; the head is troubled withpain, accompanied with a dull, heavysensation in the- back part. There isgenerally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,accompanied with a painful sensation ofhaving left undone something whichought to.have been done. A slight, drycough is sometimes an attendant. Thepatient complains of weariness and de-

bility; he is easily.startled, his feet arecold or burning, and he complains ofaprickly sensation of theskin; his spiritsare low ; and although he is satisfied thatexercise would be beneficial to him, yethe can scarcely summon up fortitudeenough to txy it. .In fact, .he distrustsevery remedy. Several of the abovesymptoms attend the disease, but caseshave occurred where few ofthem existed,yet examination ofthebody, after death,lias shown the liver to have been ex-

tensively deranged.AGUE AND FEVER.

Dr. C M9Lane's Liver Pills, incases of Ague and Fever, when takenwith Quinine, are productive of the.most happy results. No better catharticcan Tje'uied, preparatory to, or after ,

taking Quinine. We woula advise allwho are afflicted with this disease togive them a fair trial.
