fire is inquired into the less is learned to
the credit of any one connected with

discovered, to warn the guests of their
danger. He says he thinks he had
twenty-five minutes in which to do it.

fight for life, the panic and confusion,
the emigrants sinking in groups, the
families clinging together to the last,
the women powerless to save them
selves, the six wretched Indians forced
away with axes from the boats, the
struggle in the icy waves, the shrieks
which died away in moans, the moans
which ended in awful silence. May
we all be saved from a death like this!

and when her last will and testament
was read, the youthful husband found
his aged wife had bequeathed every
dollar of her property to her near rela

cent in his pockets to soothe his sorrow
for the loss of his dear old companion.

—The ice-bridge at Niagara is at
tracting large numbers of people to the
Falls. The bridge has assumed mag
nificent proportions, and is said to be
the largest that has spanned the river
since 1845. Indeed, some of the old
est inhabitants claim that it is larger
than all the ice-bridges of the past ten
years put together. The great ex
panse of ice begins at a point near the
Horseshoe Falls ard extends down the
gorge to the "Maid of the Mist" land
ing, a distance of two miles. Its
northernmost edge is within a few feet
of the lower rapids. In places the ice
is from twenty to fifty feet thick.

—A Mrs. Smith, who was living
ip the rooms back of R. P. Scott's of

very badly a few days since, but can
give no account whatever of the acci
dent or how it happened to her. She
is a poor woman, is snbjeet to apo
plectic fits, and is now at Mrs. J. B.Gra
ham's where she is supported by Butler
twp. When she discovered that she
was burned she hobbled into a neigh
bor's house and made it known and
a doctor was sent for, who came and
dreßsed ber wounds. The rooms in
which she lived were immediately ex
amined and there was not a fire in the
whole building. It is a strange case.
Dolls of all kinds at J. E. T. Stehle's.
You will be surprised to see the
stock that J F. T. Stehle has in toys

—Since our last issue Mr. Brinker
Ricbey, of this place, has lost two
more of his children by that dreaded
disease, diphtheria. A great many
preventatives for diphtheria are recom
mended, but the use of sulphur seems
to be most preferred by the physicians.
To fumigate your house with su'phur,
place a few hot coals on a shovel,
spriukle powdered sulphur on the coals,
and then carry the shovel all through
the house, from the cellar to the gar
ret. Sulphur can also be taken intern
ally, as a blood purifier, and it is .not a
bad idea to have children, and grown
people too, wear little bags under
their clothing containing asafuetida and
sulphur. Diphtheria is a terrible dis
ease. People who have had experi
ence with both it and small-pox, say
that of the two they yrefer having
small-pox in the family.
—There will be some changes made
in the locations of some our business
firms on or about the first of next

building further up the street. The
telegraph office will remain where it is
in the back end of the room. John N.
Patterson will continue the clothing
business in one of the rooms
of the Duffy building, now oc
cupied by Heck & Patterson, and Al.
Heck will continue the some businsss
in the other room. The Scott Bros, are
going into the room in the Vogeley
House block, now occupied by Heck
& Patterson as a branch store, and a
new dry goods firm is going into that
room.
—The James boys were not the last
of the train robbers. An express train
on the Central Pacific road was at
tacked a few dayß ago early in the
morning, at a lonesome station 166
miles west of Ogden, called Montello,
by a dozen masked robbers, who cap
tured the train-men and locked them
up in a tank-house. But when they
approached the express car they were
met by a fusilade from the plucky ex
press messenger. A brisk firing was
kept up for a time, aod the robbers
finally retreated Such an issue in af
fairs of this kind is more discouraging
to highwaymen than the fate that
overtook Jesse James. There is some
romance in a death like bis; but a
brave express messenger armed with a
shot-gun is a sirong argument in favor
of lettijg a train severely alone.

have no friends or else won't tell who

Beer and Railway Building.

with bottled beer from a Chicago brew
ery, bound for town nearest the end of
the track. The chief engineer of the
construction force said that an average
of one bottle for every tie laid was con
sumed, and that the tie and the beer
co-t the same—fifty ceuts. Thus the
workmen pay as much for their driuk
as the company for one of the impor
tant elements of railway construction

Bald Ridge Notes.
Bald Ridge Co.'s well, No. 10, on
the Weber form, was rodded last Wed
nesday and is pumping at the rate of
60 barrels per day. Their Huselton
farm well is expected in this week.
The Sullivan & Co. well was rodded
last Saturday, but the pressure of the
gas prevents the valves from working
right. The tubing in the well will
have to be removed and the salt water
bailed out The well has already made
some strong flows.
The Dodds' farm well, Forest Oil
Co.'s, is still doing about 400 barrels.
She is said to have filled twenty-eight
250 barrel tanks in 13 days. Allowing
200 to the tank would make her doing
over 400 barrels.
The Wallace farm well, Philips
Bro's, is doing 30 barrels per day.
The exposure of the Patterson &
Leedom fraud, in the Cherry Grove
district, last Wednesday sent oil up to
$1.05, but it was worth but 9G cents
yesterday. When certain parties
bought the privilege of making tnis
well a mystery, paying therefor a good
round price, no one thought they would
be able to circumvent the little army of
scouts known to be watching every
move at the well, but they did, and a
very pretty penny it cost tbem. They
went, about their work with perfect
recklessness as to expense, and hired
enough men to guard it closely on all
sides. They put coils of steam pipe in
the tanks so that they could at any
moment get up a cloud of steam and
hide the rig from prying eyes. They
did everything that ingenuity bred of
long experience could suggest, and they
kept the well a close secret as long as
they could.
StowelVs Petroleum Reporter has
for a long time given a decidedly blue
picture of the oil trade, but in its latest
issue jqst to had it dealsin more roseate
tints. In its review of last year's trade
it says:
"The last year has beon altogether
the most extraordinary one in the
historv of the oil business. It has ex
hibited among other things these
peculiar phases:
"1. The large volume of daily pro
duction.
"2. The most sudden development
of the richest pool ever discovered.
"5. The largest and most sudden
decline in daily production ever known.
"We began the year with a daily
production of about 76,000 barrels. By
the opening of the Cherry Qrove field
we increase this daily output in the
month of July to 105,000 barrels, the
largest daily production ever reached.
In the month of July the Cherry Grove
field yielded about 30,000 barrels daily,
it then became defined and reached its
height. From this time it began to de
cline, first moderately, then rapidly,
until the close of the year when its
daily yield was less than 4,000 barrels.
The general decline in daily yield,
chiefly caused by the decline in Cherry
Qrove, has continued until at the end
of the year it reached 61,210 barrels.
"The average daily production for
the year was 82,000 barrels, so it will
be seen that the production at the end
of the year is considerably below the
average of the year. The average
daily shipments for the year were about
60,000 barrels. These shipments may
be treated as entirely gone to con
sumption, and in this view they fairly
indicate the extent of consumption for
the year.
"The present daily average produc
tion is nearer the daily average con
sumption than it has been at auy time
in the past five years. The conditions
in the producing field have also under
gone a phenomenal change during the
year The Bradford and Ilichburg
fields (which have been by far the
largest in area and per.uanency that we
have ever had) now exhibit unmistak
able evidence of depletion and exhaus
tion ; and the fewness of the new wells
now drilling in these districts can only
be accounted for by the fact that new
ventures there do not promise to repay
the investment. The only districts
that can be looked to for supplying the
trade f<;r the present year are the |
Cooper tract district and the Grandin j
lease in Forest county and the Bald
Ridge district in Butler county ; but j
these districts combined cannot from j
their known character be expected to
maintain the decline occasioned bv the
depletion of Bradford and Ilichburg.

Prohibition in lowa.
The prohibitory amendment to the
State constitution, adopted by a popular
vote last June, was declared invalid
by the Supreme Court of lowa on Thurs
day last, Judge Severs rendering the
opinion. The case in which the dieif
ion was rendered is entitled Kohler &
Lang vs. Hill, from Davenport, The
plaintiff sued Hill tor the .value of beer
sold him. Hill admited th*j debt but
pleaded that the constitutional amend
ment forbade the sale of beer, wine
and ale, and claimed exemption from
the debt. The plaintiff amended Lis
petition by declaring that the ameud
ment was not in force, that the recrrd
of the House of the Eighteenth Assem
bly failed to show that it had pissed,
and that the House measure ditfend
from tbe amendment, as passed by the
Senate, in form and substance: and
further, that the subsequent action in
the Nineteenth Assembly did not. and
could not, cure the carelessness of the
Eighteenth Assembly.
The cause was tried by Judge Hayes,
at Davenport, who gave a verdict for
the plaintiff for the amount claimed,
and declared the amendment not in
operation.
The opinion rendered by Judge Severs
is very long, and reviews fully the
case and all the authorities bearing
thereon. Many collateral issues were
raised in the lower court, but have
been dropped as immaterial.
Severs says: "that while it is true
that enrolled bills are laudmarks of ev
idence, yet inasmuch as the lowa con
stitution does not require amend
ments to the constitution to be enroll
ed as laws,legislative journals in this
State are equally competent as evi
dence as to the constitutionality of
provisions as enrolled bills. In the
case at bar the journal of the House of
the Eighteenth Assembly does not
show that the amendment was passed,
and also that it varied in form and sub
stance from the measure in the Senate.
This being the case, the next Legisla
ture could not correct the mistake of
its predecessor, and the amendment
falls."
The dissent of Judge Beck is longer
than the opinion. He takes the oppo
site ground to the view above, and
says, in addition that inasmuch as the
people had elected the members of the
Nineteenth Assembly on the issue of
of the amendment, they themselves
had cured the irregularities of the
Eighteenth Assembly. Judge Beck
also declares that the much mooted
short publication of the Oskaloosa pa
per to have been a substantial com
pliance with the law.
The case was beard by an audience
that filled the Senate Chamber nearlv
full.
Second Lecture.
We are authorized to announce that
the lecture committee have arranged
with Rev. J. Halstead Carrol, of Still
water, Minnesota, to deliver a lecture,
being the the second of the course, on
Thursday evening, Feb. 15, 1883, in
the Couit House; Subject, "The young
man in chains." Dr. Carroll is spo
ken of as the "rising orator" of the
West, and has delivered this famous
lecture in all the large cities, where it
has been received with the greatest
applause. In the city of New York,
after his lecture had been delivered,
the press rated him with Gough and
Beep her. It is said of him that his
gestures would be a study for an actor,
and again, that his grace of manner is
not seen in one among ten thousand;
that he posesses such magnetism as
enables him to move his audience al
ternately to tears and laughter by his
patnos and humor. The committee
were only enabled to secure him from
the fact that he will be passing to the
East to fill engagements in the large
cities—about the date above mention

those who cultivate flowers in-d > >rs or in the
garden. The opening illustration is of the
"Russellia Juncea" and this valued basket
plant is c >ramended for more g.-tirral use. The
"Giant Ixia" is another interesting illustration
while the article on "Hopes" fr.mi the pen of
F. Lance, of and that on the "Olean
der" by C. K. Parnell, well r«-i ay reading.
The "Hybrid Amaryllis" is given a large illus
tration, and studious readers will ponder long
over an article entitled "Oo Plants Think."
A new poern by Eben E. Rexford, with its il
lustration by Verbeck, entitled "The Birth ef
the Flower," will please. E.T. Honjo's Jap
anese article this month on "New Year's Day
in Japan," is timely, and the home circle will
be quick to utilize the suggestions given in an
article on "Some amusements," what 10 do long
winter evenings. The ladies will linger over
the illustrated department of "Home Decora
tioi •," for all that appears there is prepared es
pecially for the FLORAL CABINET'S pages.
I Thejmusic this month is "Uatty's" song, made
popular this winter by being sung by Emma
Thursby, entitled "In a Quaint Old Village."
