Among the industries of the United States that of paper making now holds fifth place. In the twenty years that have elapsed since the close of the Franco-Prussian war Europe has doubled her military strength. Although worth $35,000,000 at the the time of his death, Leland Stanford borrowed money all his life, and said that he could have profitably used more. A remarkable discovery has been made at Carrog, near Llangollen, Wales. While a number of workmen were carting stones from the bed of the river Dee, they discovered the re mains of an ancient church, which was washed down by a heavy flood 300 years ago. The scientific investigors at Munich claim to have discovered that "Asiatic cholera is essentially a poisoning with with nitric acid generated by Koch's comma bacilli." This is enteresting. If we can't kill the bacilli, perhaps something can be devised to neutralize the poisonous acid. The largest use of placards on record was prior to the Paris election in 1889. General Boulanger had 15,000 bill stickers, who put up 45,000 daily, in all 900,000. In some places, when they were torn down after the election, there were found sixty layers of bills alter nating with those of Boulanger's rival. The collection of postage stamps has brought into existence a pro fessional 6tamp repairer, who, for a small fee, dexteriously repairs muti lated stamps. His specialty is re storing the margin to envelope stamps that have been cut to shape, and have thus lost much of their philatelic value. Mr. Dobbins writes to the Pittsburg Dispatch that the very objectionable bit of slang, "the wind blew through his whiskers," is not American at nil. In fact, it was first used by an Eng lishman, one Dan Chaucer, who wrote the "Canterbury Tales." In tho tale of"The Sliipman" occurs this remark able line, "With many a tempest hud his beard been shaken." The Central Peruvian Railway across the Andes starts from sea level at Callao. It crosses the Andes range to Oroya, 136 miles from the coast. At the seventh mile it is 700 feet above the level of the sea. At the fiftieth mile the elevation is about COOO feet and the ascent is steady and rapid until it reaches its highest point at the 106 th mile, when the height is 15,665 feet. The originator of the Concord grape is still living in Concord. Mass. He is Ephraim W. Bull, now eighty-seven years old, and one of the prominent men of the historic town. He was a friend of Emerson and AJcott, and has been greatly honored by distinguished visitors to Concord, and by horticul turists at home and abroad. In his garden at Concord he still shows the old mother vine of the Concord grape which he developed from the seed of a native wild grape planted just fifty years ago. The conservative University of Vir ginia could not permit a woman to at tend its lectures, observes the New York Telegram, but it did suffer Miss Caroline Preston Davis to stand its ex aminations in mathematics at the close' of the year, and as she passed the whole course successfully the faculty bestowed on her the certificate of ex cellence and made her practically the first female graduate of the university. Dr. Thornton gave to the graduating class the privilege of conveying to her the honornry diploma and the boys did it with a yell. Hays the New York Press: Four dis tinct invasions of the frozen mysteries of the Arctic region will be undet way this year. Lieutenant Peary will en deavor to map the northern coast of Greenland and to investigate the archipelago which lies beyond. If conditions favor he may mike « ven turesome dash on sledges across the frozen sea toward the pole. The other American explorer, Gilder, will ex amine the movement of the magnetic pole. Two avowed attempts to reach the North Pole will be mide, one by- Doctor Natisen, of Norway, who pro poses to drift with the ice in a craft especially designed to resi<t pressure from floes, and another by Mr. .Tack son, whose effort to crons the ice on sledges assumes that there is no open Polar Sea, and is supported by the Royal Geographical Society o! Great Britain. Twelve different kinds of theology are preached in four languages in the eight churches at Wahoo, Neb. Whaling in the Antarctic seas thie season is reported to bo a failure. Grampuses, seals and sea lions are nu rnerous, it is further stated. For some unexplained reason, states the New York Tribune, moro tires seem to break out on Sunday morning than at any other time of the week. The success of the three experiment farms in Manitoba, Assiniboia and British Columbia is causing Canadian farmers to urge the Government to establish a larger number. When people talk about bad times the Baltimore American thinks it would be well for them to remember that there is about seventeen hundred million dollars (#1,700,000,000) of de posits in American savings banks. Savings banks are pretty good financial thermometers for telling the real con dition of the country. The Cincinnati Times-Star exclaims: Chicago that succeeded in planning and executing an architectural and artistic and a mechanical triumph of which the most imaginative Roman poet in Rome's Augustan age could never have dreamed, will continue to be talked about throughout the world and in places, too, where all other American cities are unknown. Says the New York Independent: It is the native custom in Tinnevelly to marry with i*. necklace instead of a ring, and the Church of England mission aries there have consented to the change in the marriago service so that it shall read: "With this necklace I thee wed." But with a delicious in sularity some of the Angelicans nt home are protesting against the crime of tho change. The new invention of M. Turpin, to whom the world is indebted for the discovery of melenite, the most power ful explosive in existence, seems des tined, if not to render war impossible, at any rate, to render the artillery now in existence altogether superflu ous. It consists of a very light gun afld carriage drawn by two horses, and four charges can bo fired within the space of fifteen minutes, each of which throws 25,000 bullets over a surface of 20,000 square yards. Tho range of the gun is about two miles. Connecticut is now added to the list of States where the practice of medi cine is regulated by law. There are now but nine States in the Union where tho practice of this profession is absolutely unrestricted by any ruloe whatever, and, the Boston Herald re grets to say, that Massachusetts is ouo of the delinquent States. The only equipment that is essential for the practice of medicine in Massachusetts is a signboard hung outside tiie phy sician's office, and even this is fre quently dispensed with. Massachu setts is the irregular practitioner's par adise. Where has the duster gone? asks tho Philadelphia Press. It is still worn in the West. It still appears on longer lines of travel. Its manifest and sen sible convenience endears it to middle aged men. But on a short line like that between this city and New York the duster has disappeared as com pletely as last winter's snowflakes. The clothing store 3 keep them on the hack shelves. Few are sold. The big wholesale dealers do not sell a dozen where they once disposed of bales. In a few short years this convenient gar ment has been relegated to the country districts and the provinces. Yet in cur climate, with our hot, dry sum mers,our abundant dust and long rail road journeys, the duster ought to have become a permanent article of clothing for all travelers, "Kyphosis bicyclist arum" is ap parently known in tho West as well as the East. "Why is it," asks the Chicago Journal, "that ai soon as a young man learns the useful and .graceful art of bicycle riding he must forthwith attempt to undo the work by which he was made in tin image of his Maker and seek to transform him self into a hideous mesozoic dinosaur or some other uncanny creeping thing? The head goes down, tho back is humped, the arms assume the position of forelegs, ami all that is wanting is a croak to pass for a broken-backed frog. There is no excuse for this abomination. An erect attitude gives the rider a much better command of tho wheel. It is merely a habit due to too much pernicious and unhealthy "scorching." Women who ride wheels do not stoop, Out upon this frog- J squat, this hump-backed disease, ' "kyphosis bicyclistarum 1" LAPORTE, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 18. 1893. A DREAM. I dreamt that over the winter world The winter winds were sighing And into the orioles' empty nest The flakes of snow were flying. The vines along the garden wall With crystal ice were gleaming, And in the garden, dull and bare, The summer flowers were dreaming. The snow lay deep over withered grass, The skies wore cold and gray, And slowly the dreary night came on To end the weary day. I woke. High up in the orchard boughs A hundred birds wer? sinking, And in the birch-trees' pleasant shade The orioles' nests were swinging. Along the river, tall and green I saw the rushes growing, And daisy petals white as snow Among the grasses showing. The flowers held the sunshine bright, The breezes were at play, And swiftly the dreamy night came on To end the happy day. —Angelina AY. Wray, in Harper's Bazar. WIRE AND MATRIMONY. BY JAMES NOEIj JOHNSON. T was "g r i n d in' J <*£> JS day" at Thompson's \ ~ ' M mill in Jim Creek, 11 Lewis County, East N Kentucky. The mill V--■ ■ JBBp[was a rival of Black - t ,nrns "tore, two ffll miles above, as a gossip exchange for j " large territory. isS From this distrib- J " 4 utive point flowed j j out toward every i household the news of deaths, births, ! scandals, fights, courtships, marriages and other matters of moment. To-day j a large crowd had gathered, for a rumor I was abroad that Big Tom Latimer and Polly Ann Rallin were soon to get \ married in the face of her father's op- j position. The Rallin family was the j leadin' one of the county, old Tom J Rallin having a large farm several : horses and "cow brutes" and, by all ; odds, the finest breed of cow dogs that { ever yelped at a tree in Lewis county. Big Tim and Old Tom were at the mill, and as the latter was n man of hot temper, a fight between the men was hopefully anticipated. Big Tim j was a handsome, good-natured fellow, | who would tight only when necessity commended. He was standing fitting j a stem into a new cob pipe when old j Turn approached and said : "I hearn you an' my gal wuz fixin' j ter marry?" "We ain't fixin', 010 man," placidly returned Big Tim. "Ye ain't?" hopefully questioned old j Tom. "No; we nro already fixed—er haw, haw, haw!" The old man's fingers bunched them- ' selves into hard fists, and his eyes j glittered like new dirk knives a-whirl- ! ing in the sunshine. "Fixed!" hissed old Tom, "fixed!; You lazy, good-fer-nuthin' rascal, I'd i like te* Know what you got ter marry j on ,y ' "I've got my dad's puncheon floor to marry on, ef we can't get ter stand up on vourn !" returned Tim with a loud exasperating laugh. "You think yo'r terrible smart, don't i ye?" said old Tom, curling his upper j lip into a vicious snarl. "Y'as, I am smart whar the.hide's! off, a 7. my ole grandad lister say —er haw, haw, haw, haw! I'v course I'm er smart man, and am well nwar' tiv it, \ er I wouldn't have the brass ter try ter marry ill the big Rallin family ! A fool couldn't git a gal like yourn ter agree ter walk the puncheon er niater mony with him. He must be smart enough ter keep up the family credit. | Polly Ann ain't no ham eater, az my I ole grandad uster say. .She's some j punkins herself, an' she knows er smart person like me, as soon as her eyes runs over his face. I cum from a smart, ■feet of people. One uv 'em— an uncle i —served az road overseer in Magoffin j County for ten years, an' wuz jist on the pint o' bein' i 'leeted constable, when a gun went off in a patch o' bresli close to the road, whar he wuz passin' along, an' kille 1 , him. My great grandad wuz also er smart man. He talked six different j wimmen inter the notion o' being his wife. He waz awful.smart! At the! ago of ninety-six, he waz still smart, j He waz peart enough ter set out on the j fence, on nice warm days, an' watch ! his old woman chop off a hickory bush- j log. Oh, I tell ye, old man, I'm not j ter be grinned at by them what has no teeth as my grandad used to say. I'm er smart feller, an' tliar'il be no retri gradin' in the stock as long az any o' the Latimer blood iz in er family—er haw, haw, haw, haw!" The monumental impudence of Lnti- ' mei was actually fascinating to old | Tom. While the big, good humored fellow went rollicking on in the above ! style, it was impossible for Old Tom to | keep his sober countenance. He tried j his utmost to keep looking fierce, but j ever and anon he would grin in spite of himself. At the conclusion of Tim's pedigree j he said : "Tim, I ain't got no time ter , hear more o' yer foolishness, I—" "What ye in a hurry about? ye got lots o' time. The ole miller sed awhile ago that wo couldn't git our grindin' j till erbouf dark, and (glancing up at the sun) hit ain't more nor two o'clock now. That bein' the case, we'd jist az well putin the time a-gasin' az not. The fuck iz, ole man, you're a mighty | interesting 010 feller to talk to. You ! may not believe me, but I consider | you ter be the only man in this kentry, | outside o' myself, what knows how ter talk real smart talk—the only man whole traveled and collected food ter feed the hog uv a man's intellectual ; nater an' make its puvl for more ! I , like a man that I kin goto when the Mtomach uv mcr mind is empty en" all ! drawn up, an' git the ham an' eggs o' j knowledge that'll stuff me out an' send me off pickin' the teeth o' my judg ment with the pine splinter uv good sense ! You're jist that sort uv er 010 man, an' its fer that reason az mueh az anything else that has canned me ter conclude ter lay my matrimonial claim in your family, and—" "Say, Tim—" "I'm er sayin' jerst as fast az I can, ole man. Jir.t you stun' back a few minutes, an' gimme full swing. Az I wuz jist a goin' ter say, I feel that fer me ter marry in yonr family will be a mighty good jump for both sides—it'll keep the best looks an' finest intellecks in the county all bounded tergether. I know you think you can't, bear to lose yer gal, but lemme say, right hur, you shant lose her. She can stay right with you—" "Oh, hush, Tim!" said the old man, grinning and turning away. "I Bee I can't get no sense outer you. But I want to tell ye now before yon string out agin, that you can't have my gal. I'll die first. You know when I say anything 1 mean it. Yon are a good-natered sort uv a cuss—in fact too good-natered—but you are not fit ter be a husband, and ye can't never hev a gal o' mine." "Say, ole man, I want you ter jist up an' tell me what you object ter me so strong fer?" "Wal, in the fust place, you hain't got no hoss." "Is that all ?" "Noap; you hain't got no cow?" "Anyth'ng else?" "Yes; ye ain't got no good coon dog." "What else?" "You won't never have none. I won't have a son-in-law that has no hoss." "Wal, lookee hur. Ole man, you've got all o' them things—more than you'll ever need. Jist suppose you give mo enough to qualerfy me ter lie come yer son-in-law? You've got more stock than you need?" "I'd see you dead fust !" spoke the old man fiercely, as he turned away. "I'm goin' ter have Tolly Ann an' one of your best horses afore two weeks; I feel it in my bones!" shouted the big, jolly fellow, as the old man started off. "You won't," shrieked the old man, grinding his teeth, and viciously shak ing his fist. "You'll see, ole mnn. Hit won't do fer such fine stock os the Rallins and Latiiners not ter mix up in matermony —er haw, lmw, haw, hawi" * ♦ ♦ * + + Late in the afternoon, about dark, old Tom's "tutn o' corn" was ground ■Hid he was just sh> 'Muring it up, ready to carry it out to his horse when Tim came up and. smiling, said: "Old man, let me carry out your turn, an' put it on your hoss. It's too heavy for you. 1 don't want ter see ye kill yerself up, even if I am goin' ter marry yer gal an' inherit yer prop city !" "You goto the d !" viciously spoke the old fellow between his teeth, as he slowly strained the bag to his shoulder. "Wait jist a minite, ole man," spoke Tim, laughing, "my turn will be ready in a minite. I am going your road, and I'm shore you'll want good company ! Besides it's an awfnl lonesome road." But the old man was riding away and he didn't hear Tim's last words. "Confound that ar Tim!" the old fellow spoke to himself in amused vex ation. "He beats any feller I ever seed. He'd tickle a dog to hear him talk. If he only had a hoss I might give in arter a while, but never,never, ever shall a gal o' mine throw herself away by marrying a feller what ain't got no hoss." Darkness was now filling the road and shutting out the view of all things. Suddenly an owl brawled out almost immediately in front at an an gle of the road. Simultaneously, the horse, beiug a spirited animal, leaped far to one side, and then, oh horrors, the old fellow felt the horse sinking ' rapidly into the ground. "My!" he shouted, while ho at tempted to free hm.aelf from the ani mal, he's jumped into that big miery hole." With these words he made a desperate scramble to get away from the horse, but the frightened animal, sunk now to his body in the slough, gave a floundering surge, fell to its side, catching the old fellow's leg, and rolling the bag of meal off on top of him Both horse and man were now securely fast, unable to move. The old follow was almost delirious with fright. There he was, helplessly fast in the slough. And to add further to his terrors, it was turning colder every minute. Of course, in such u place, it was only a question of a few hours when he must perish. And such a death! A man, in good health, to begin to die gradually without being able to summon a single human being. His hands and feet must first get numb. Gradually, slowly his blood | must go from the surface, until, finally, i it turns to ice in his heart! He began to pray, and the lips that never-before had trembled in divine appeal now became fountains of beg ging exhortation. Soon he heard the sounds of a horse's hoofs. Then, like a lightning flash, broke ! 011 his soul the recollection that Tim Latimer was to follow him on the same road, fie stopped praying and began lo shout. "What's the matter?" asked Tim, riding near. "Are ye repentin', ole man? Is that what yer prayin' about -tryin' ter git forgiveness for the way ve been talkin' ter me? Bully for you, ; ole man ! I knowed you waz goin' ter l!op up all right! <>it on yer horse, ole man, I forgive ye. It's too cold to be repentin' down thar ! Oit up an' do yer pravin' an' shoutin' while we , ride along!" "Ah. God bless ye, Tim!" cried the i old fellow, in tones botweun a groan j and a shout. "I'm hur in the ole miery hole!" "The nation you are !" shouted Tim. "Why, what got ye in the notion ter git down in such er place az that ter pray? Wanted ter be az humble az poss'blo, I reckon? Wal, the Lord likes er humble sinner. But git up, now, ole man, hits er gittin' too cold to stay there." "Oh, Tim, can't ye understand? My horse is plum ter his breast in the mud. ; I'm layin' on her back, an' the sack | flopped across me !" "Er haw, haw, ha*v, haw, haw, er wall haw-ah-wah!" roared Tim, "ef that, don't beat anything az my ole grp.ndad uster say! Why, ole man, 1 don't you know that's no place ter be I a lavin' sicli er night as this? I'm sur i prised at a man o' your sense gittin' down tliar. You didn't appear so awful drunk when ye left the mill! Hit must er flew ter yer lied awful quick." "Oil, Tim," desperately spoke the old fellow, "hush yer foolishness now, ; an' git me outer here. I'll die here j before much longer." "Of course ye will, ole man, an | that'll just be ter my hand ! I won't have no trouble then erbout gittin'yer j gal. Whoop ! I knowed thar wuz some | good luck waitin' ter rejuvernate my lovin' soul! Wal, hit's er gittin' too j cold fer me ter stay hur enny longer. ! Good by, ole man!" "Oh, Tim, Tim, Tim!" shouted the old fellow, breaking into a cry, "please, for God's sake, Tim, don't go off an' leave me to die ! I'll pay you ennything you ax ef you'll git me out." "Will ye give me Polly Ann?" "Yes, yes," eagerly spoke the old fellow. "An' a hoss?" "Sartinlv—hurry up, Tim!" "An' er cow?" "Course, course!—hurry, Tim!" "An' er good brood sow an' pigs?" "Ob, Lordy mighty, yas! Hurry , an' come, Tim !" "An' er good coon dog?" "Yas, yas, yas! the best one I've ! got! Hurry!" "Whoop, whoopee!"' screamed Tim, us he leaped from his horse. He ran j to a fence near by and got two rails. He soon had the old man pried out of ! the mud, and then the two released I the horse. Tim rode home with the old fellow. On the way he stopped at Parson Ado's and forced the latter to accompany him. An hour later he was the old man's son in-law.—Yankee Blade. ("ail Oilers Cause Deafness J Everyone does not know that aro matic salts and ver; "ir«ng, pungent | odors are injurious to the nerves of smell, and often produce serious, if not incurable difficulties. It is well understood that certain scents start the action of the secretory glands of the nose and throat, and often the eyes fill up with tears. Fre j quent indulgence in the use of such perfumes will soon overtax the secre tory organs and weaken them. Some day the person observes that the hear ing is less acute than usual, and the sense of smell seems defective. This is, of course accredited to a cold, aiyl but little is thought of it. After a time, the entire head becomes affected, hearing and smell are almost, if not altogether lacking, and there are throat and lung complications which are likely to end in chronic, if not fatal illness. It has taken the medical world a great many years to discover that loss of hearing is almost invariably caused by some disease of tho throat or nose, or both. It is said that the use of smelling salts is one of the most prolific causes of deafness, operating by weakening the olfactory nerves, and through them the auditory system. All strong or pungent odors should be avoided as far as possible, especially those which act upon the secretory processes, and as the popular expression goes, "make the nose run."—Yankee Rlade. The Kent Is a Hose. An interesting ceremony took place at tho Lutheran Church at Manheim, Penn., the other Sunday. It was the payment of the annual rental for tho ground on which the church stands, and is locally known as the "feast of roses." In 1772 Baron William Henry Stiegel, the founder of Manheim, donated the ground to the Lutheran congregation, upon which Zion Church now stands. The Baron exacted for his land "five shillings in cash and the annual rental of one red rose in June, when the same shall be lawfully de manded." That clause is in the deed of transfer, and for 120 years the red rose has been paid by the congrega tion to some descendant of the Baron. At the services Mrs. Elizabeth Boyer, of Harrisburg. a great-granddaughter j of Baron Steigel, was the representa- j live of the landlord. On the altar, in j a vase, was a huge red rose. An ! official of the church council made an ; address ami formally tendered the rose to Mrs. Boyer, who then signed a receipt for a year's rent of the property.—New Orleans Picayune. Two Matched Brilliants Worth $500,000. At the Imperial Institute, London, the Prince of Wales lately inspected the splendid Mylchreest diamonds, a pair of magnificent brilliants which were found in Du Toit's pan mine, Kimberly, South Africa, in 1885, by J. Mylchreest. Originally the weight of the stone was 199J karats, but it was cleft in two and cut regardless of weight, so as to yteeure the perfection of brilliancy. This work, together with cutting and polishing, was done i in London, and the brilliants are said ! to be the finest pair in existence; for it is the opinion of experts that theru , is no other pair of brilliants of the same size cut from the same stone. They are a complete match and their value is placed at §500,000. —Jewelers' Review.

French ingenuity has contrived an improved stone-cutting saw of remark able efficiency -a circular saw having it edge set with diamonds in the same way as the straight blades; but as the strain on the diamond is all in one direction the setting can bo made much firmer. In the Electrical Engineer J. E. Emerson states that once, when twen ty-two years of age, he tried, for a freak, how much iron he could handle in a working day. He lifted and plied in heaps four feet high 2124 tons of pig-iron in lumps, varying from sixty pounds to 130 pounds. An electric alarm bell for use on trains, to supersede the unsatisfactory cord communication, has been success fully tried in Scotland. In addition to serving as an alarm, it can be used for starting trains from the guard's van, instead of the present method of whistling and waving of flags. The Central Society of Agriculture, of Herault, France, promises that a laboratory for agricultural analysis shall be annexed to the chemical laboratory of the National School of Agriculture at. Montpelier in order to deal with chemical manures, the use of which is becoming greater in that department. The Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris has recently acquired a cameo of large : >aze and finest workmanship, shewing | a duel on horseback between a Snssa nid king nnd a Roman emperor. M. Bableon, the keeper of the department j of coins, recognizes in the subject a traditional representation of the cap ture of Valerian on the field of battle by Sapor I. (A. D. 250). One of the most wonderful discov eries in science that have been mado within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lamp-14nck, colored silk or worsted, or other substances. A disk, having slits or openings cut in it, is made to re volve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to cut it up, thus nicking alternate flashes of light and kUoir, On put ting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the flash ing beam is falling on the vessel. A few coast lines on the world's sur face remain undefined. The longest of these is the outline of the Antartic Continent, which will be surveyed under the auspices of the Australian colonies as soon • s money enough can be raised for the purpose ; another is the coast line of Greenland, from Cape Washington, in eighty-three degrees thirty minutes, to Cape Bismarck, in about seventy six degrees north lati tude. This stretch of coast has defied the examination of voyagers from tho fact that the whole east coast of Green land is clothed in perennial ice and swept by unceasing northeast gales. A Muscular Magistrate. Judge Coleman, of Butte, may not be a very large man, says the Butto (Mont'ina) Bystander, but when it. comes to upholding the supreme power of the law he looks as large as an ele phant. At least so thinks Mr. Reski, a Hungarian who is reported to have killed a man or two before coming to America, and, after spending eleven years in the penal institution of Hun gary, left his native country for his country's good. Mr. Reski's aesthetic taste not being suited by the cooking of the partner, Mr. Vago, he attempted to kill him. A warrant was sworn out, but the offi cer failed to find Mr. Reski. Vago in formed Judge Coleman that Reski was gambling in -the Combination. No officer being present at the time tho judge concluded to make tlie arrest himself. Vago went out with him and pointed out the man wanted and then ; skipped out. The judge called Reski outside and i told him he had a warrant for his arrest. 11l response the Hungarian pulled out a , pistol, but before he could use it here 1 ceived a "habeascorpus" under theear, was disarmed and marched up to court | in double-quick time. As they were going up the stairs which led to the 1 court Reski pulled another pistol, a ! forty-four Colt's saying, "Me kill you ! now," attempted to shoot, but ugaiu j the judge was too quick for him, and, \ knocking him down, took the second gun away from him, and besides giv- | ing him a good thumping, read him a j lecture on the evils of attempting to j obstruct the course of justice, after i which he was escorted to the court- < room, his case set for trial and then marched down to the city .jail. Upon i being searched a belt of cartridges and an eight-inch dirk were taken from I him, in addition to the two pistols j secured by the judge. If any State in the Union has a ner- . vier lawgiver than Judge Coleman we | would like to hear from it. The judge : can be found in his office at all hours \ of the day or night.
