privilege of nominating an alternate,
who will be examined by the Board
at the same time and in the same
manner as the regular nominee, and
admitted in the event of his success
and the latter's failure to pass the
prescribed preliminary examination.

GARFIELD AND VOORHEES.
How a Duel Once Imminent Between
Um Two waa Prevented.
Colonel Morrison, of Illinois, and
Senator Vourhees, of Indiana, have
been intimate friends for years. Few
people are probably aware, however,
that this friendship had its origin in
an episode which promised at that
time to be fraught with the gravest
consequences for the Indiana states
man. Morrison and Voorhees made
their entree simultaneously upon
the stage of national politics in tbe
Thirty-eighth Congress. This was
in 18G3, after Morrinon had resigned
bis command in the army from
wounds received at Donaldson villa.
Morrison was a war democrat ; Voor
hees a peace-at-any-price Democrat
Washington was at that time an un
safe place for men who did not be
lieve in a vigorous prosecution of
the war. Tbe streets of the city and
even the corridors of the Capitol
swarmed with soldiers, who needed
but a word of encouragement to
sweep every rebel sympathizer into
the Potomac r;ver. It was at this
period that Voorhees made a speech
in the house opposing the passage of
a certain war measure. During the
course of his remarks he was sever
al times interrupted Dy General Gar
field of Onio, who at length trans
gressed the law of parliamentary
courtesy by pronouncing Voorhees a
liar. Owing to the confusion and
the distance which separated the two
members Gatfield's remark was not
beard by Voorhees, who left the
chamber upon the conclusion ot bis
speech. About midnight of that
day, whiie busy in his room, a proof
ot "bis remark were s-;nt to him fur
his revision. Glancing carelessly
oyer the speech he was borriSed to
see this interjection :
"Mr. GarGeld (interrupting) If
the gentleman persists m making
that statement I pronounce him a
deliberate liar! '
For a moment Voorhees was too
much astonished to speak. Then
turning to Jauats C. Robinson, of Il
linois, wuo happened to be present,
he said : " If Garfield does not apol
ogizo for this language I must fight
him. I cannot return to my con
stituents without demanding and re
ceiving satisfaction. Will you aid
uiein'tbe matter ?'' Cut Ilobinson
objected. Aftt-r some further con
vert itiou Robinson said: "Why
don't you see Colonel Morrison ? He
has a room in this house, and I have
no doubt can give you better advice
than 1." Morrison was aleep when
the two Congressmen reached bis
door, but he speedily aroused him
self tnd lifteued to Voorhees' story.
At iU conclusion the latter said : "If
you carry a challenge to Gai field
you are liable to a heavy fine and
imprisonment. Are you willing to
risk the consequence?" Morrison
made no reply, further than nodding
his bead affirmatively. Then, tak
ing the "proof" in his hands, be
started for Garfield's house. It was
after 1 o'clock when he reached it
Garfield was sitting in his library at
work. Morrison briefly stated his
errand. " Did I say that?" Garfield
asked incredulously. For answer
Morrison pointed to the proof. " I
am directed by Mr. Voorhees." he
continued, "to insist, upon an apol
ogy or a nziit. uarneia replied
with dignity : " I was iu error and
am not athaaied to confess it I ut
tered those words in a moment of
excitement, it did not occur to me
that I spoke sufficiently loud for the
official reporters to hear me," and
seizing a pencil he obliterated the
word's with so much vigor that the
point of the instrument cut through
the paper.
Morrison returned to Voorhees'
room and stated tbe result of hi:
mission. Voorhees was delighted at
the result. If it bad been necessary
to challenge Garfield.and the fact had
become known, the infuriated sol
ditry would have torn iiimto pieces.
It is no wonder he felt grateful to
Morrison for his successful manage
ment of the affair, lie has been one
of Morrison's closest friends ever
since.
A Big Kilt.
A lew weeks ago Jack Gaylord
was on a hunt iu the Wiud River
Mountains among the foot bills of
which bis ranch is situated. Fiom
a close-grown pine thicket One morn
ing there leaped the largest elk he
had ever seeu. As the huge animal
paused a moment to "sniff the taint
ed gale" the hunter's ready rifle
cracked. The elk was evidently hit,
but only slightly, and away be went
crashing through the brur.li and over
the loose shingle of the mountain
side, and now began the chase. The
dogs were put upon the track, and
soon the cliffs and cha-ms echoed to
their opening music. The royal elk
headed straight for the brakes of the
Sable Mountain, a huge peak, one ol
tbe loftiest of the range, that rose
some five miles distant. On the
summit of this mountain raises a
crest of rocks, that, at a distance ex
actly resembles a huge table.
Though he had evidently selected
the Table i'eak as his final place of
reluge, the cunning quarry doubled
again and Again on his pursuers.
Rut tbe hounds were not to be
shaken off, and at the end of a two
hours ruu the elk found himself at
the foot of the pei.k, with tlx hunt
er and bounds close on his Launch
es. The hunted animal at once be
gan the steep ascent and tried hard to
shake off his pursuers amid the t tn
gled thickets that line the mountain
side. Leaving his blown pony u!
the base of the peak, the hunter fol
lowed the chase on foot Half way
up the mountain the elk was sighted
Tbe clamor of the dogs was redoub
led. The hounds were now close
upon the noble game, and under the
giant shadow of the table it turned
at bay. As the foremost of the dogs
emerged from the hist copse and
sprung full at the throat, the nranch-
I ing antlers were suddenly lowered,
tne teen lines pierceu from side to
side, and all that was left of the
staunch hound was thrown high in
air, and fell far down tbe steep in
cline. Nothiug daunted, the re
maining hound, too, made its fierce
spring and shared the fate of its
comrade. The bushes parted, and
the hunter stepped into the open
battle ground, where had just per-
isnea nu two gallant bounds. With
a hoarse bellow, the animal rushed
at him. The hunter fired and the
next instant was burled aloft on the
broad antlers. His stout buckskin
hunting shirt turned aside the sharp
prongs , but they bad become fasten
ed in the garment, and Gaylord bid
fair to be thrashed to death against
the rocky ground. As for a second
time the elk dashed him to earth he
managed to catch hold of a stout
bush and kept his grasp long
enough to enable him, with his oth
er hand, to draw his revolver from
bis belt, and send a ball crashing
through the brain of his savage foe.

Bow to do ft In Style.
"Talking about botel rivalry,"
said a citizen last night, as be took
a chair on the sidewalk in front of a
well known hotel, "1 have seen a
good deal of it at summer resorts,
but I never saw it manifested in such
a degree as it is in Buffalo just now.
The Genesee is a brand-new and
superbly furnished bouse, which has
undertaken to knock out the fine
old Tifft house, which every traveler
knows bas been a hotel of tbe first
class for years. Lord, what a busi
ness the Tifft used to do during race
week in Buffalo 1 I was at the Gen
esee a few weeks ago, and I thought
it the beight of perfection. I never
received better treatment at any
New York house. The other day I
went to Buffalo again and registered
at the Tifft. Talk about enterprise !
They bad curtained off a portion of
the dining-room, and stationed with
in the inclosure a big orchestra,
which played opera airs and other
music during the whole dinner
time."
"That's nothing at all," said anoth
er citizen. "I was in San Francisco
in 1S51, when two hotels got to run
ning each other. I forgot their
names, but that doesn't make any
difference. Number one started
with a brass band concert on the
balcony every evening, and it drew
big crowds, including about all of
number two's guests. Pretty soon
however number one began to lose
its guests by the score without any
apparent cause. The proprietor in
creased his brass band uud polished
up his bar, but without etlect. It
didn't take him long to find out
that number two was haying nightly
cocking mains and dog-fights for the
exclusive benefit of guests. Then
number one got back part of his cus
tom by introducing private prize
fights and slugging-matches. It
may sound preposterous, but its 'a a
fact, that when miners and others
wanted to settle personal differences,
they used to go to the proprietor of
number one, who paid them well
for a light tbe money going to the
winner. Of course these exhibitions
were given in private quarters, and
none but guests and their friends
were admitted. Number two saw
number one's prize-fights and slugging-matches
and went it one better,
i'hey knocked out one eud of their
dining-room and built on a stage
and a green,room and all other ac
cessories, and had variety perform
ances at breakfast dinuer and sup
per. This turned the tide in favor
of number two, until one day a des
perado went into number one and
shot the bartender. This made num
ber one famous, and placed it fur
ahead of number two in the estima
tion of the public. The proprietor
of number two, however, saw bis
opportunity and prepared a coup
delat. lio headed a gang whicu
went out and captured the murder
er, and strung bim up on the dining
room stage at supper, and all tha
guests were accorded the privilege
of firing their revolvers at bis
dangling body. One shot acciden
tally went through tbe bead of a
waiter, and the entertainment far
exceeded the proprietor's most san
guine anticipations."
The members of the group ad

Apache Mnaacrco iu New Mexico.
Chicago, Dec, 28. W. J. Jones,
one of the best-known ranchmen in
Arizona, arrived at El Paso on Sun
day from the vicinity of the recent
Indian Massacres. He says the sit
uation in Western New Mexico and
Eastern Arizona is really much
worse than has been reported by the
newspapers. He declares that no
one pel son can gather an adequate
idea of the terrorized condition of
the inhabitants and the actual num
ber of people killed by the Apaches
within the last two months. Dozen
of families have been massacred in
distant parts of the Territory, and
tbe news of their death has never
spread beyond the immediate vicin
ity, owing to the long distance and
senaration from the outside world.
Mr. Jones mentions three murders
in New Mexico the accounts of
which to his knowledge, have never
been published, and says that just
prior to his departure from New
Mexico he helped bury a neighbor
who was found mnrdered by In
dians. The fearful loss by fire and
plunder at tbe hands of marauding
Apaches has slsobeen under estima
ted, as many ranches have been lit
erally cleaned up of stock and the
houses burned. The ranchmen of
Graham County, Ariz., have equip
ped a ranger force at their own ex
pense and placed them in the field.
Settlers are depending entirely on
these rangers. Mr. Jones asserts
that the regular army is no longer
relied upon by the people to sup
press these frequent outbreaks, and
says that Governor Zulick, of Ariz.,
is in favor of immediately organiz
ing a force of Territorial rangers, and
has been petiond to call the Legis
lature together for that purpose.
Killing a Maa Hog.
Port Jervis, Dec. 30 Last sum
mer a mad dog ran through the
t'iwnhip of Coleville, in Sussex Co,
New Jersey, biting a u umber of dogs
cattle, sheep, and hog. All the
dogs known to have lietn bitten were
killed or chained to await furtrer
developments. A close watch was
kept on the injured cattle. A few
days afterward two calves showed
every evidence of rabies and after
one had died the other was killed to
put it out of misery.
Among me omen animals was a
hog belonging to Thomas j'ross. The
hog was kept confined for several
weeks' but as it did not develop any
signs of hydrophobia it was allowed
to rejoin the other hogs. Last Fn
day Mr. Bross noticed that the hog
refused its food. He again placed it
in confinement, the next day it
was frothing at the mouth, and oc
casionally had convulsions. It also
tried to bite everything that ap
proached it and chawed its trough
to pieces. Mr. Bross kept the hog
a day longer, and, being satisfied
that the hog bad hydrophobia, he
allied it
The farmer, are wondering if any
thing serious would have happened
if the hog had been slaughtered a
few days before the disease exhibited
itself and the meat bad been eaten
A Farmer Darned In Bla Hobs.
Lockport, N. Y., Dec. 30. Some
time after midnight last night the
house of Justice brown, a farmer
who resides two miles east of Wil
son, Niagara county, was burued.
Mr. Brown's family were absent on
a visit to friends, and he was the
sole occupant of tbe house. This
morning bis neighbors were horri
fied to find bis skeleton with the
flesh nearly all burned off in the
ashes of his home.
Band Shaming,
Washington, Dec. 30. Four hun
dred and fort eight persons waited
patiently in the Esst Room of the
White House to-day to pay their re
spects to the President. The crowd
was almost twice as largo as at any
preceding reception of this kind.
The President appeared just before
two o'clock and entered upon his
task with such expedition that the
entire room was cleared in sixteen
minutes. Several persons tried to
engage tbe President's attention
with private matters, but they were
told to call again to-morrow. One
individual shook bands in an agita
ted manner with one of the usbeis
and passed the President without
noticing him. He was reminded of
his mistake by the laughter of the
crowd and strove to return and
shake the President's band, but was
borne away by tbe rapidly moving
line of people behind him.
Chinese Labor to be tjopplanted. 1
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 20 A special
train arrived here from tbe east lai-t
night with 350 cigar makers from
New York and points along the line,
bound for San Francisco. The dele
gation is said to be taken the place
of Chinamen in the Chinese quarter
of San Francisco. Fifty cigar mak
ers from Omaha joined the party,
which will probably be swelled to
500 before reaching San Francisco.
The term? on which the men go are
to work for one year at the wages
prevailing on the coast for the pur
pose of supplanting the Mongolian.
The movement is looked upon as a
great victory for the International
Union. There are some fears of
trouble from opposition by China
men, as the factories are in the very
heart of the Chinese settlement
Duel In a Street-Car.
Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 3D.
Last night Frederick Smith aud
August Broden met unexpectedly
in a Union Hill car which was filled
with passengers, many of whom
were ladies. An old teud which has
existed between them for a number
of years was renewed, and after au
interchange of hot words both men
drew revolvers and fired at each
other. The other passengers fled
precipitately from the car aud Smith
was left lying on the floor with" the
blood flowing from a wound in his
side and two wounds in his arm.
Broden was arrested and lodged in
jail. On the way to the fctation
house Broden complained of pain in
his arm. An examination subse
quently made showed that be bad
received a bullet Smith was re
moved to bis home; where his
wounds were dressed. The wound
in bis side may prove fatal.

G. W. Benford & Son.
A cold of unusual severity which
I took last autumn developed into a

No sufferer from any scrofulous di;

of it. This disease is as dangerous
os it is repulsive. Jt is sometimes
called "St. Anthony's Fire," and of.

it in both legs and was cured by Dr.

Wajjon wants to be seen to be fully appreciated, and parties wishing to

In offering this make of Wagon to the public, will say I used the same
make of Wagon for five years when freighting across the Rocky .Moun
tains, over roads that were' almost impassable, and they always stood
the test. I feel warranted in saying I believe tbem the Best Wagon on
