Bloominton, Franklin Co., U foon to have a democratic pautir. the firnt num ber will appear about tbe first of Sep tember. The London Circus train, which left this city with ten elephant-, had eleven on board when tbe car doors wero open ed at Atchison last Tuesday morning. A baby elephant was found lying upen the floor or the car. it having been born during "tho previous night. We believe this is the fir.t cos of an elephant hav ing given birth to young while hold a captive, either in this or any other country. Sfrtfe Journal. The latest effort to bring Mr. Bob. Ingersoll to a knowledge of paving truth was attempted by a Washington streot prcachcr, but was entirely unsuccessful. "Mr Ingcr-Hjll," aid he, "a man of your great talents could be of such ser vice to our cause if you would only re pent and follow the Lord instead of be ing His cmeny." "I am not His enemy," replied Ingersoll, "for if the Loul was here upon caith to day, and should come right hero to Washington, I'll venture I'm the only man in the ei'y who would indorse His noto for 10. The following is an account of a fight between three detectives and four of the famous Doc Middleton gang. Tho Ha zen spoken of as hating been abot in three places is the Fame who spent sever al days in Red Cloud a while back. Wo formed a tolerable intimate acquaintance with him, during his stay here, and found him to be a well informed and cor tcous gentleman, and it is with regret that wc learn of his misfortune Omaha Neil, July !!!. Tho News gives account of a hard fight between a body of detectives and four desperadoes efthe Doc. Middleton gung of thieves and murderers infesting the country of tbe Niobrara. It occurred on Monday on one of the branches of a creik culled Long Pino, 140 miles nortli of Giand In land. Shots were fired by two "detect ive and returned by the deeperedoes with effect on each side, though no lives were lost Hazen, ono of the detectives received three balls, one in the neck, one in the arm and the third passed through below the ribs, coming out near the back bone. S. Llwellyn, another detective who was present Ht tho fight, is missing, and the remaining detective escaped without injuty. and made his way to Columbus, 15U miles ditant. Middleton would have been killed only that the de tective's revolver niNsed fire four times He was badly wounded in tho groin, and it is thought he will die, but is being cared for by friends. LATER ACCOUNT. Arrangements had been made by tho detectives to decoy Middleton out and capture him, with A-hai success tho fol lowing account of the affair from tho lipa of Hczcn, will show. Columbus Neb., July 25. Detect ive Hozen enmo into this city this morn ing, attended by a posse of soldiers, and boarded train No 4 for Omaha to-day. He is very weak from his wounds, but is in a fair way to recover. His story dif fers materialy from that told Likens, in that Hazen i-aye that Llewellyn stood by him during the fight, and was shot through and through, and that tho last he saw of him he wa staggeriog toward the Laughing Water to get a drink, his his horec having been shot from under him. He has no doubt that Llewellyu is dead. The men who brought Hasen in to this city says that they hunted for Lleweyn tbouroughly in the direction Hazen said he went, but could find no traces. This would seem to imply that Llewellyn is not so badly hurt as Hazen thought, and that he has escaped. Columbus, July 5. Hazen being in terviewed in this city this morning, sj okc substantially as follow.-: Liewellyn and Hazen met Middleton on Saturdiy und arranged fur another in terview on Sunday. They met on Sun day morning, and after a couplo of hours interview they rode off, two of each party tnce:hT, Hiizcn 25 aids behind L!eweu ami Doc. watching movements. They had arranged that when they came to the crus read Hazen was to give a Mgnal, biid the thiee men, Hazen, Lleweyn and Lykcns were to cover Doc. and make htm surrender. But when in range cf Lykeas he pulled on Doc. without warning. Doc. says Lykens' gun went off and his horse threw him, and tha( the shot tui-scd him. Liewcyu is sup posed to buvo been .-hot off hit horse by puc's PouTnde. After Lykens withdrew inthe brush, Deo. turned to Hazen, who said to him, "Pass by, Dt-c., and if you wid not .-hoot I won't," repeating it three titiiis, staring that the whole thing was a mi-tike and the matter could be satisfactorily explained Doc cays, "I believe 1 will kill you ,' 'No you won't' said Hazen, an jumped off his horse. Dpc. shot and hit the horso ia tho shoul dcr. Hazeu 6n.d on Doc. hitting him in the abdomen, the ball striking one inch to the right of his nave), and com wz out just above tiu point of tbe right hip. Dec. returned fire, his ball hitting Bczen under the left arm, coming out close to the backbone on tbe sme ride of the ceck. They stopped firing, Doc saying to Hazen, "You huve given me my death, and I have given you yours." They both made off in opposite directions as best they could, falling every few feet. After Doc. and Hazen had parteu, Llew ellyn came aloDg by Hazen and said, "I must get a horse. Hazen attempted to follow him, but fell, looking after Lleweyn when ha got up again, and see ing him staggerine toward the Laughing ater, which was the last seen of him. Hazen made his way to a house not more than twenty-five yards ahead. -After Baxenwas attended to ihe man of the house went in search of Lleweyn. Wot finding him, he went on to see Doc and found him at Warner's, wonnded as de- cnbel above: Doc elated lo him that it uk itjuiu una tie wuuiu ru ujt iuu uu lab Haxcn. Doc told the man that Llewtfyo wtnt away all ri'lit. On Mot. dy ten men came to tho Iiouk: arvl asked to mc listen, ome of thtm armed, but the man would bot let tfVui in. lie alone with bn wife wtre the only ones who Mood bv Hiiro. Knoiiup it & t not fife to leave hi in longer, the man. under cover of the niht, at 11 o'clock J Monday evenitu:, left for Colunibm with liszen this morning. Doc stated that he thought h would have to Rive up wot:, but he would frcll his life very dear if they attempted to lake him. tie was well armed on hi bed, and had forty men to guard him, up to Monday afternoon. For the benefit ofthoe wbo may not know the cbiracUr of "D:." Middle ton, we will say that he id the leader of a gang of a hundred or moro despcra doeH who, by their law!e-s acts have ter onzed the whole Niobrara country, in the airthera part of thii etate. Toe la test advices state that the detective Lie weyn waa not badly hurt, and that with a detachment of twenty poidier has gone in quest of the outlaw, Middleton. It has never btieu the privelege of any State or country, to witness eo rapid growth iu its railroid t-ystem as does Nebraska in laid. Not only do railroad enterprise-i abound but ihe propo.-ed lines are actually being built. The B. k M.aud U. P. Campanies aro unusually active iu the work, both are determined upon securing the tiiK'ut portion of the State, and although the B. Si. M. aro actively engaged, tho U. P. docs not appearantly Maud on preliminary move meuts, but comes immediately down to business. He-itation is tho only sin of of Mr. Touzalin, mauy localities where bonds could have becu easily voted, are expressing reaction, and do not Lite so voraciously at every report as they re cently did. Wo trust the people of Southern Nebraska will not overlook the great bcuefits to be derived from keep ing lines of railroad within our own State, while near enough the State line to monopolizo the principal part oT the trade lying immediately south. The tax es alone received from two hundred miles of road would aggregate souio $50,(KK) per annum, easily paying all subsidy and a handiomo revcuue besides. lltbron Journal. The Grcwth of Nebraska. Twenty fivo years ago when Nebraska was first organized as a Territory, with a much larger area than at present her population was 4 .'94. Tho last cen-us gives the population at 350,410. nearly ninctecu times as large. But perhnps the growth of Nebraska cau hotter bo realized by a comparison with that of other states. This great growth, the lire attributes to the character of the Union Pacific rai'road. In 1SG0 Ne biaika's population in round numbers amounted to 29,000, Kansas' 107,000. Minnesota's lT-'.OOO, Iowa's 675.000. and Wiscon'in's 770,000. Siuee 1SG0 Nebraska has increased in population 1300 per cent, over twica as much as Kansas, the next in the fcalc. Up to the present year Nebraska's per centage of increase has becu much larger thati any of the states mentionod, and during the past eight years she has equalled them iu actual increase. These four neighboring states arc the lending states in the Union, (except Texas) in this re spect. "This is certainly a marvelous exhibit when it is borne in mind that each of these States were in 1870 away ahead of Nebraska, not merely in their populations, but in all the agencies that contribute to tho acceleration of the growth of any section. They had mil lions of capital where Nebraska had thousands; they had thousands of miles of railway while Nebraska was doing her transportation by mule trains and ox team?; they expended thousands iu ad vertising their resources whero Nebraska has spent hundreds, and they wield a political power that Nebraska cannot hope to cope against. And still Ne braska baa not only kept abreast with these great rivals in the race of empire, but she has rapidly and steadily gained on them. Djring the last three months alone, Nebraska has increased her popu lation by jver ', 0,000, and if that ratio of increase continues for the next ten years Nebraska wili contain over half a million inhabitants at tho end of ISS0, and about 1,209, 030 by IS90. This is by no means an extra-acint estimate, and those who have lived in Nebraska during the past fifteen years will be able ta form a faiut conception of what great exebarges arc impending iu the indus trial and commercial devclopemcnt of Nebraska within no very remote period." Omaha Bee. Xar&aHtc a I:xa, July 20th 1S79. Ed. Chief. I once more have a chance to jot you a few items. The weather ha been dryer here than in Nebraska, bad a good rain here lately, the first for about six weeks. Wheat is not more than two-thirds of a crop, bat oats look well. Corn is two weeks later than in northhrn Kansas, but it looks well. Considerable of the wheat and oats was cat here last week, but there is a vast amount yet to cut. A large amount of hay has beea pat mp here the presea t season. The land here is Tery rolling in fact hilly fn some places. Fruit will be a fair crop here ibis ca-j eon. S, Our Wastongton Letter.

In mentioning last week the impor tant convention in Saratoga to meet on the Gth of August under the auspices of the Bankers association, I omitted one important subject to be discussed there, ono which has interested public men here a elsewhere, time out of mind. It is the adjustment of taxation on an cquitablo basis. Somo figures at the Treasury depot nro of interest in ibis connection. It appears from theo that for tho last fissal year, the National Lank, with a capital of $485,250 paid an aggregate of $15,731,877 of taxes, divided as follows. U. S. taxes $6,902, 573. Local taxes ("tate, county aod municipal) $8,829,303. Dividing the country into gcogtaphical sections, the foll.'winir table exhibits the amoun' of national banking capital in each, and the percent! gc of taxation upon capital: New England Capital, $167,788,475. U S. Taxes, 1.1. Local Taxes, 1.7. Middle States $1S2,SS3,562. U. S. Taxes. 1 7. Local Taxes, 1.9. Southern Staacs $32,212,258. U. S. Taxes, 1 3. Local Taxes, 1.4. Western Stales and Tor. $102,301,369. U. 5. Taxes, 1.4. Local Taxes, 2 1. It will bo observed how littlo the Southern State paid of this tax, and how little reason they have to complain of the burdens in this lino as in all others of Gov, support The great Northern commercial centres aro where this tax falls very heavily, and the Ban kers complain that it is inequitable and out uf proportion to the taxation bur dens of other property. The discussion of this question and tbe general one of taxation will be a very important fea ture of the Saratoga gathering, and many members of congress may be there aud learn wisdom from it. Tbe Ohio democrats have got desper ate, and being poor nave not stood upon their soft money polioy in the face of de feat. In plain language, they have ap pealed to Mr. Tilden, the representa tive hard money democrat of tho coun try, to help them, promisia to do his bidding This ahows not only that the democrats of Ohio are hard pressed, but that the conviction is growing that the Greenback refudiatiea crazo ia dying out. This fact s also confirmed by the con tinued good reports from Maino and New England generally. The Green backers have weakened under tho force of successful resumption and improve ment in business, and are coming Lack to tbeir old republican faith. The re ceptions tendered to Sec'y. Sherman as the representative of tbe Republican policy are indications of the substantial unanimity of sentiment ia that section on the finincial question. Maine will wheel back into tho Republican column. Some of the papers comment oa Sec'y. Sherman's circular ordering the paying out of silver for certain public obh'ga tions as a new departure. Such is not the case. The Sec'y. has simply await ed a safe and certain opportunity to an Bonnce a policy that was resolved on long ago, hut which was aot practicable until now.
